Holiday shopping season typically means crowded stores, but buying a console online flips that script. The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is a sleek option you can slip right into Sony’s universe without the bulk of the extras which can be a real pain for anyone who just wants a simple setup. They’ve knocked the price down to $399 (was $499.99), so right now its a great deal for gamers who just want some real power without all the fuss.
Sony has officially unveiled its first gaming monitor bearing the PlayStation logo, and its main promise is fairly simple: transform any old desk into a true PS5 station. This 27-inch screen has a very basic specification: 2560 x 1440 resolution and an IPS display to keep the colors looking sharp even when seen from the side. Not quite cutting-edge, but Sony has been generous with the thoughtful PlayStation features they’ve included.
Budget-Builds Official never intended to get his hands on a PlayStation 5; instead, he wanted its internals, notably the graphics chip. Then, on a peaceful Friday in October, he receives a little parcel from Shenzhen and has no idea what to anticipate. Out comes a bare motherboard the size of a small book, wrapped in bubble plastic and topped with a gigantic copper heatsink the size of a dinner plate. The label reads AMD BC250, and it costs £96. The delivery letter simply reads “PS5 graphics card” – not exactly what he expected, but it did the job.
Zac Builds removed the lid from a dusty old Sony PS3 and peered down at the two ancient chips that had been resting there for 15 years. The thermal paste beneath has long since become dust. He pulled up a hot-air gun and gently tugged on the GPU’s cover, which popped right off like an old rusted hubcap. In that instant, he knew that Sony had left a lot of power on the table, and Zac was about to cash in.
Rockstar dropped the news on Thursday, just before parent company Take-Two Interactive’s earnings call. Fans who held out hope for the May 26, 2026 date woke up to a six-month slide instead. This is the second official delay for GTA 6, which was originally aimed at Fall 2025 before moving up earlier this year.
Two years after its release, the PlayStation Portal receives an update that makes it far more useful. Cloud Streaming is now available for PlayStation Plus Premium customers, allowing you to play games directly from Sony’s servers. No more being tethered to a PlayStation 5 at home. Select digital titles from your collection, as well as hundreds from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog, appear instantly on the 8-inch screen.
Erick from Not From Concentrate spent months shrinking Sony’s PlayStation 5 into a 6-litre aluminum box. He calls it the Tiny PS5 Redux. Builders can now download his guide and build their own. The finished machine sits between two full-size PS5s like a child flanked by parents, yet it plays the same games at lower temperatures.
Halo: Campaign Evolved, set to be released in 2026, transports you directly to the sandy beaches of Installation 04, where the waves crash stronger and Covenant dropships hum with dread. Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, this rendition of the original 2001 campaign delves deeper into what made those levels linger with you for decades.
Two helicopters carve a path through the warm Miami night, and in one of the choppers, Emmanuel Rodriguez (aka “Master” – the man behind Team Ninja’s community outreach) gripped a controller tight with one hand. Swae Lee the rapper (you probably know his voice from hits like “Sunflower”) sat beside him and they were both completely locked in to a game that needed lightning-fast decisions and reflexes. What happened next engraved Ninja Gaiden 4 into the record books – literally.
