Why the X-Men Don't Exist in Marvel's Wolverine
While there are many mutants famous for being members of the X-Men in Marvel's Wolverine, in the video game's story the X-Men do not exist.

Yes, Jean Grey is in the game, but she is not part of any group called the X-Men because it hasn't been formed yet. Put simply, don't expect Cyclops to turn up in his comic accurate suit, dropping from the Blackbird under orders from Professor X back at the X Mansion.

Chief among them is stick drift caused by potentiometer wear which makes the sticks drift in certain directions even if they are not pushed. Although the DualSense Edge controller partially addressed this issue by introducing easily swappable stick modules, it seems like Sony could finally resolve it for good with its PlayStation 6 next-gen controller, as revealed by a patent that has recently surfaced online.

Sony's announcement to discontinue physical game discs for PlayStation consoles by January 2028 marks a major shift in the gaming industry.

While this move aligns with broader consumer trends, it also raises concerns about accessibility for players in regions with unreliable internet and the loss of tangible ownership that physical games provide. For example, nearly 30% of console game sales in 2025 were still physical, highlighting the ongoing demand for traditional formats despite the rise of digital platforms.

Sony announced yesterday that it plans to end physical disc production of new games by January 2028, fueling more rumors of its next console launch. From the earliest days of game consoles in the 80s, there have nearly always been some sort of physical media containing game files. These mostly began in the form of a cartridge, some early primative systems utilized readable paper or plastic cards, and then the dominant media for the last 30+ years has been optical discs, whether it be CD-ROM, DVD, Blu-Ray (from single to triple layer), and it now appears that an end is in sight for those as well. Sony has always been cited as a source of the success of the Blu-Ray format since it included a BD drive with the PS2, but as times are changing, it is now planning to formally abandon the format.

PlayStation 6 Delay Fears May Be Overblown, As Known Leaker Silently Pushes Back Against Latest Reports
Although we are getting closer to 2027, Sony has yet to make any official announcement about the PlayStation 6. Despite the silence on the matter, especially amidst the rising costs of components, a recent report from Embracer Group analysts suggests the next-generation system may release in 2028 or even 2029. However, there's a good chance these fears of delays will remain unwarranted, judging by the reaction of known AMD hardware leaker Kepler_L2.

PlayStation CEO Defends PC Port Strategy As Insider Leak Claims Otherwise
There's been an interesting development in the story surrounding PlayStation games coming to PC. The short story is, executives seem to be contradicting each other on whether or not the practice will continue. Most recently, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino stated that while multiplayer titles will continue to launch cross-platform, single-player releases will only be considered "if releasing on PC can maximize the gaming experience."

PlayStation CEO seemingly confirms Sony's return to exclusivity
For a few years, Sony had been porting over many of its single-player PlayStation 5 games to PC at an increasing rate. This seemed to stop rather suddenly, with the most recent addition being The Last of Us Part II back in early 2025. With rumours claiming that Sony has reversed-course on bringing more single-player titles to PC, PlayStation's CEO has now officially commented on the matter.

In hindsight, building an ambitious, open-ended RPG on a brand-new console with then-cutting-edge 3D graphics was a bold choice for a debut game, but it seems FromSoftware's very inexperience is what allowed it to lay out the blueprint.

The Anbernic RG Vita, as analyzed by ETA Prime, is a handheld gaming device that blends retro aesthetics with modern functionality. Powered by the UNISOC T618 chipset, it is designed to cater to retro gaming enthusiasts and Android gamers, offering a 5.46-inch IPS display and a 5,000mAh battery for extended play sessions. While the device excels at emulating classic systems like the SNES and PS1, its performance is limited when handling more demanding platforms such as the GameCube and PS2.

God of War Sons of Sparta struggles to deliver on the best of God of War or the best the Metroidvania genre has to offer.

It's not bad, but serviceable struggles to excite -- and that's a sin for God of War.

Sony has filed a new patent in the US that describes a departure from traditional gamepad design, envisioning a controller in which a large touchscreen replaces a significant portion of its front.

Ask JRPG veterans to name the top ten titles in the genre and you'll routinely hear one title being namedropped near the top of that list: Dragon Quest VII. It was an experimental and moody title, focused around an opening act that sets the tone for the adventure with three young children learning about the sole island left in the world and why the world has been trapped away for hours before hearing that iconic battle theme.

Rumor: PlayStation Portal OLED refresh tipped for 2026, RDNA 5 handheld teased
A new rumor suggests Sony could be preparing a two-pronged handheld push, starting with a refreshed PlayStation Portal in 2026 and continuing with a separate, fully standalone PlayStation handheld aimed at local gameplay. According to claims attributed to leaker KeplerL2, Sony is planning an updated PlayStation Portal model slated for some point in 2026. The key change mentioned is a switch to an OLED display, replacing the LCD panel used on the current Portal. An OLED upgrade would be an expected move for a mid-cycle refresh, bringing improved contrast, deeper blacks, and a generally more premium image presentation, especially in darker environments where LCD backlight limitations are more noticeable.

PlayStation 5 Pro expected to receive PSSR 2.0 update this quarter
A new report says Sony is preparing a PSSR 2.0 update for PlayStation 5 Pro, described as the next step for Sony's AI upscaling. The claim comes from Japanese leaker Gust_Fan, with a window set somewhere in Q1 2026.

PlayStation 5 Pro PSSR 2.0 is reportedly launching in Q1 2026
The PlayStation 5 Pro arrived in November 2024 with the promise of being the definitive way to play console games, but its first year has been somewhat muted. While it is technically the most powerful console on the market, some still feel that its specialised hardware remains underutilised. A particular sticking point has been the initial iteration of PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), which, in many titles, has been prone to visual glitches and shimmering rather than providing a consistent "next-gen" leap in image clarity.
