More than just a tech demo for the DualSense controller, Astro’s Playroom is a stunning showcase for the PS5 and the very first game that you have to try out on the next-gen system. Fine-tuned for maximum haptic feedback fun, Astro’s return is a marvel that celebrates the past and the future of the PlayStation.

Arkane studio’s Groundhog Day assassin-em-up looks to be launching fairly soon, adding what could be another great title to the PlayStation 5’s library.

Buying a new console this generation and looking to impress people in an attempt to justify spending money on something that makes you happy? Then you’re going to need a launch game for validation purposes! With the PlayStation 5, you’ve got two games in particular that can help you gloat about the five-dimensional device in your living room: Demon’s Souls and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

This console generation is off to a bit of a different start. While backwards compatibility has always been a big part of previous generations, this year the lines seem blurrier than ever before. The PS4 and Xbox One era had no shortage of remastered and repackaged games released during its lifecycle, but the PS5 and Xbox Series X are essentially handing players free remasters with many an existing title.

CD Projekt Red’s ambitious sandbox was originally meant to launch on April 16, but that date was then moved to September 17. From there, the game would be delayed again to November 19 and once more to December 10. That’s some Duke Nukem Forever territory right there. Anyway, this looks to be the final delay, but that hasn’t stopped people from theorising that Cyberpunk 2077 will move once again towards a 2021 release.

AEW has been a regular highlight reel of slams and elbow drops. Like any wrestling promotion it has plenty of merchandise to dip your wallet into, but what it doesn’t have? A single game to its name-brand. Fret not, AEW is getting three games soon.

As the servers went down, the Darkness began consuming several locations (which are now being added to the Destiny Vault) in our solar system. Mercury, Io, Titan, and Mars all went dark, taking with it numerous Raids, Strikes, and beloved characters. “This will not be the end, it will be an escalation,” Eris Morn said right as the screen faded to black and maintenance began on the game for its new expansion. The Darkness is here, and the Light is barely keeping it at bay.

Miles Morales may be the headline act of Sony’s PS5 launch game offerings, but there’s still a ton of love out there for the original arachnid-themed hero of a thousand adjectives. 2018’s Spider-Man game is still Marvel storytelling at its very best, but if you were looking to enjoy slinging a few webs across New York City with extra graphical bells and whistles, then you probably weren’t keen on replaying the entire story all over again. Because dammit my heart can’t take those emotional moments again. Insomniac, you absolute monsters what with your ability to make me…feel.
