God of War-Themed controller launch

October 23rd will be a red-letter day for fans of Sony’s Norse mythology adventure, God of War. The new God of War-themed PS5 controller, inspired by Kratos himself, brings a touch of Spartan ferocity to every session. Styled with intricate patterns and a bold red-and-grey palette, this one looks like a collector’s dream. 

Beyond aesthetics, the controller’s designed for comfort during long gaming marathons. Imagine swinging the Leviathan Axe or facing off against mythical beasts while your hands are gripping a controller that embodies the God of War spirit. While we don’t recommend tossing it during a particularly intense rage-quit moment, having this controller in your arsenal is a subtle yet thrilling way to feel more connected to one of most iconic characters of the gaming world. 

Wolverine gameplay trailer

Insomniac’s Wolverine finally roared onto screens during the State of Play with a first full gameplay trailer that had fans on the edge of their seats. Expected to launch in fall 2026, the game promises a gritty, bloody take on the beloved mutant. From the trailer, the combat appears to be visceral and unrelenting, showing Logan’s character with precision. 

Players can slash through enemies with Adamantium claws, use brutal finishing moves, and navigate an open-world environment filled with moral ambiguity. Unlike other superhero titles, this Wolverine doesn’t seem to be holding back, and players will love it. With Insomniac at the helm, expectations are high. We will get to know more as the game’s release date inches closer. 

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to land on PS5

For gamers who have ever dreamed of taking to the skies without leaving the living room, Sony’s announcement that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is coming to PS5 this December is a dream come true. The franchise has always been synonymous with realism, and this latest installment promises even more immersive experiences, including updated aircraft, revamped weather systems, and high-fidelity global terrain. 

PlayStation players can finally navigate everything from the foggy streets of London to the sun-drenched coasts of Australia with console-friendly controls. The addition of PSVR 2 support takes immersion to a whole new level, allowing pilots to look around cockpits and gaze at sprawling landscapes as if they were truly flying. This crossover also marks a rare collaboration between Sony and Microsoft, signaling a growing trend toward cross-platform accessibility and giving PS5 owners a taste of high-altitude adventure.

The Last of Us Part 2 comes to PlayStation Plus

It is no secret that The Last Of Us is one of the most-loved zombie games out there. And the franchise’s latest installment, The Last of Us Part 2  remake, is now a part of the PlayStation catalog. PlayStation Plus subscribers can now download this masterpiece for free. And if you haven’t tried out the game yet, now is your chance. 

The critically acclaimed sequel, known for its heart-wrenching narrative and richly detailed world, allows players to dive back into Ellie and Abby’s intertwined journeys. With its combination of stealth, combat, and exploration, the game remains a benchmark for narrative-driven gaming. 

Battlefield 6 and Gran Turismo 7 updates

Sony’s showcase also brought exciting updates for fans of Battlefield 6 and Gran Turismo series. We got a closer look at the single-player campaign mode of Battlefield 6. Expected to feature high-octane action, intense gameplay moments and cinematic marvels, the game will launch on October 10 this year.  Meanwhile, Gran Turismo 7 will get its “biggest update yet” this December. 2 new race tracks, 8 new vehicles, and more are coming for fans of the racing game genre.
