The gameplay footage showcases PSSR 2, and it will run at the high frame rates needed for a fast-paced shooter. It’s launching on PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2026.

And that’s not the only improvement. According to Seppo Halonen on the PlayStation Blog, the PS5 Pro will render games at a higher base resolution.

Some TV shows don’t lend themselves to focusing on supporting characters, especially those with large casts or formulaic plots, keeping those characters in the background. But other shows successfully shift the focus, creating standout episodes that rank among the very best in the series. These episodes aren’t just great examples of side characters taking the lead; they’re simply some of the best episodes their shows have ever produced.

Patch 1.000.003 is available to download now on Sony’s system, weighing in at 1.445GB.

I just heard back from CinemaCon – they showed a rough cut of DreamWorks’ Forgotten Island on Wednesday, April 15th, and the buzz is really good! Everything I’m seeing suggests DreamWorks might have another hit film on their hands. I’ve been checking out the initial reactions, and I’ll share some of the highlights below.

I recently learned that a new take on the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory story is coming to Netflix in 2027! It’s called Charlie Vs. The Chocolate Factory and it sounds really interesting. Apparently, this film explores what happens after the original story, with Willy Wonka facing the consequences of his actions during that first factory tour. He’s trying to reopen his factory, but Charlie, now a teenager played by Kit Connor, might not be too happy about it. Taika Waititi is taking on the iconic role of Willy Wonka, and Jared Stern (who directed The LEGO Batman Movie) and Elaine Bogan (Netflix’s Trollhunters) are directing. They just released a first look image, and it gives a great feel for the animated style of this new version.

The latest update, patch 3.00.02, is actually quite significant. It includes major adjustments to character balance, and addresses many previously overpowered moves.

Haneda Girl first launched for PC via Steam on May 23, 2025.

You probably know that SAROS is being made by Housemarque, the team behind Returnal. It’s worth mentioning again because SAROS feels very much like a follow-up to Returnal – it’s essentially Returnal 2, even if it doesn’t have that name.
