It beats Uncharted 4 to become Sony's fastest-selling PS4 game

Sony is going to reveal next-gen PlayStation 5 games at an event on June 11 at 1 p.m. Pacific time. This comes after Sony postponed from June 4.

Sony has never shared official sales numbers for last year's Death Stranding, but according to Hideo Kojima himself, it did well enough to recoup development costs and begin turning a profit. Those margins will only increase with the upcoming PC version to the point where Kojima says there's nothing to worry about. "We have enough profit to be ready for the next title."

Sony has told PlayStation 4 game developers that any new titles submitted for certification must also be compatible with PlayStation 5, beginning 13th July. This means all PS4 games received by Sony for testing after the middle of that month are technically forwards compatible - playable on Sony's next-gen console - though it is up to each game's developer to ensure this is the case.

Sony has said its relationship with Microsoft is “deepening” following continued discussions around licensing the Xbox parent’s cloud server technology. Microsoft and Sony announced a “strategic partnership” in May 2019, which will result in the PlayStation maker using Microsoft Azure data centres for cloud gaming and content streaming services.

Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida has said the company will be announcing a lineup of games for PlayStation 5 'soon'. Speaking as part of a statement about corporate strategy for Sony, Yoshida (according to Bloomberg's Takashi Mochizuki) said: "we will soon be announcing a strong lineup of PS5 games."

Earlier this week, Epic Games unveiled the latest version of their long-standing game development engine, Unreal Engine 5. As usual, the company did so with a tech demo showing off the engine’s capabilities. What’s more interesting is that they claimed to have ran this demo on Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 hardware, which is powered by AMD Zen 2 CPU and RDNA2 GPU technology.

Sales and revenue for the fourth quarter slipped to 1.7 billion yen (roughly $16.3 billion), down billion yen (roughly $3.6 billion) year-over-year.

Sony’s WF-1000XM3s raised the bar for noise canceling capabilities on wireless earbuds, but a lack of waterproofing and a $230 price tag limited where they could be used. Wearing them on rainy days or during sweaty workouts just wasn’t worth the risk. But Sony’s new WF-SP800N earbuds not only pair noise-cancellation with IP55 water resistance, they do so with a fitness-focused design that’s more comfortable to wear—and they even come with a cheaper price tag.

Earlier this week, assets from the upcoming game were circulated online, spoiling major plot points.

Horizon Zero Dawn was a huge hit for Sony, but we haven't heard anything solid about what's next. Well, it seems big things are in the works!

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is finally out on PS4. And it seems like SIE Russia is refusing to release it on Russian PS Store.

Sony today announced it was making a change to its PlayStation downloads in the US, mirroring a similar change in Europe earlier this week. Namely, it’s going to slow down or delay gameplay downloads in an attempt to help manage traffic during this time of social isolation. Since we’re all spending more time inside, working from …

The PlayStation 5's operating system sounds like it's really going to prioritize speed and efficiency above all else, putting that high-speed SSD to very good use in the process. That's a far cry from the PlayStation 4's current dashboard, which almost instantly slows to a crawl as soon as you boot up a particularly intensive game. That'll hopefully be an annoyance of the past, however, as Kotaku's Jason Schreier has shared one of Sony's pitches to developers as it attempts to turn playing a PS5 game into something "as easy as Netflix".

Subscribers will also get Dirt Rally 2.

One of the biggest hits of Sony Interactive Entertainment in this generation was not to sell about 100 million consoles, but to be able to lay the foundations for new (or renewed, in some cases) video game that have been able to sell more than ten million units (a significant figure for a single exclusive game). We talk about titles like Horizon Zero Dawn, Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War.

It was in 1998 when the Japanese electronics giant Sony was careless enough to release 700,000 camcorders that had the adroitness to see through people’s clothes. As soon as Sony realized what havoc it had caused, the camcorders were immediately recalled.

Back to the future.

Nintendo and Sony worked on the console in the late '80s.
