Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, and Bungie's Marathon may not be the only big titles Sony will release in 2025, according to rumors circulating online. Following yesterday's State of Play, well-known ResetERA user shinobi602 teased that the three games mentioned above may not be the only big titles releasing during the course of next year without providing additional information on these unannounced potential 2025 games. Many PlayStation Studios, like Naughty Dog, Bend, and Bluepoint, have yet to reveal their current projects, so there's definitely the chance for 2025 to be a much better year than 2024 for Sony in […]

Speaking during the latest episode of their weekly podcast, the tech experts at Digital Foundry replied to a fan question asking if the better specs of the PlayStation 5 Pro over the base model would bring image quality improvements to games using AMD FSR 2. The tech experts have no doubt that the new system will be able to do little to improve some of the upscaler's issues, which have very […]
As reported by IGN, Sony and Stellar Blade developer Shift Up have been sued in the United States for trademark infringement. The plaintiff is Griffith Chambers Mehaffey, owner of a multimedia company named Stellarblade LLC whose officials website is available here. Mehaffey's lawyer sent the following statement to IGN: Mr. Mehaffey registered the stellarblade.com domain in 2006 and has used the STELLARBLADE name for his business for nearly 15 years. Given this long-standing and public use, it's difficult to imagine that Shift Up and Sony were unaware of Mr. Mehaffey's established rights before adopting their identical mark. We believe in […]
