Feature: Happy New Year from the Push Square Team

As a gamer who’s seen more respawns than I care to remember, it feels like 2025 has snuck up on us faster than a level 90 boss with invisibility cloak! The years have flown by, but my controller hasn’t – it’s been through more lives than a certain cat.

The past year was tough for the gaming industry, much like trying to beat Dark Souls on a Friday night after a long work week. But here we are, still standing, thanks to the support of gamers like you. You keep us going with your comments, clicks, and shares – without you, I’d just be a lonely pixel in a sea of pixels!

In 2025, we want to level up our game. We’ll bring you the best of PlayStation, not just the loot but also the lore. We’ll make sure to mix some serious analysis with a dash of humor – because let’s face it, who doesn’t need a laugh after a hard day of virtual battles?

We’re also planning to engage our community more than ever before. We know we have one of the best gaming communities online, and we want to give you more opportunities to share your thoughts. That means more polls, quizzes, and chances to interact with the website. We’re not just here for the trophies, we’re here for the community!

We also want to answer all your PlayStation questions – because let’s be honest, sometimes we forget that not everyone has a degree in gaming. We’ll create easily digestible FAQs for you, so you can level up your knowledge without having to spend hours grinding.

Between GTA 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Ghost of Yotei, this is going to be a massive year for PS5. So grab your controller, charge up those batteries, and let’s conquer the gaming world together!

Thank you for choosing us as your guide in this digital realm. We won’t let you down – unless you die in a particularly tricky boss fight, then it’s all on you… (just kidding, I’ll revive you!)

Suddenly, here we are in the year 2025! It feels like yesterday was 2009. I wonder, doesn’t time seem to slip through our fingers so quickly?

As we step into the brand new year of 2025, I’d like to extend my well wishes to you and your dear ones for a thriving future ahead! It seems as though we’re hitting rewind on an old game tape, but let’s face it – we’re living in times that never stop evolving. More than anything, I hope this year brings you safety, health, and all the joy gaming has to offer!

It’s clear that the video game industry faced numerous challenges in 2024. Not only did job losses affect thousands, but several studios also shut down. The impact was even felt on the media side, where many colleagues were let go and beloved websites were closed.

It’s great news that we’re still going strong, and your support is the reason for this success. Thank you for having faith in us, and remember every comment, click, and share helps move us forward. If you truly value what we do, think about becoming a part of Hookshot Media’s supporter program, as it supports all our platforms.

This year, we want to start moving forwards again. We want to:

  • Bring you the best of PlayStation with insight and analysis. We want to be thorough with our reporting but also keep it light-hearted and fun; we know for many of you gaming is escapism from your daily grind, so while we will undoubtedly need to touch on sensitive topics at times, we never want to forget why we’re all here: through a mutual love for gaming.
  • Engage you with more community content than ever before. We believe we have one of the best gaming communities online, and we want to embrace that by giving you more of a platform to share your opinions. That means more polls, quizzes, and opportunities to interact with the website.
  • Answer all your PlayStation questions. Sometimes we forget not everyone is an expert on Sony, and so we want to do better at detailing everything you need to know. This could be through explainer articles which describe exactly what’s going on in the industry and why, or with guides that tell you how to find a certain collectible or unlock a particular weapon. We’ve been honing our skills at this for years now, and we want to put into practice everything we’ve learned to create easily digestible FAQs for you.

Among games such as GTA 6, Monster Hunter Rise, and Ghost of Tsushima, we anticipate that this will be an extraordinarily significant year for the PlayStation 5.

Thank you for choosing to share your passion for PlayStation with us, and we won’t let you down.
