🚨 The PS5 Pro has officially landed, and it’s got a hefty price tag at $699. Sony didn’t waste any time—announcing the Pro within the first five seconds of their event. So what’s the deal with this upgrade? They’re positioning it as the best console for GTA 6, with 45% faster rendering, better ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (think DLSS but Sony’s version). It's packing more power without completely outshining the standard PS5, which is here to stay. But let’s be real—the selling point is 60 FPS at higher settings without sacrificing quality. That’s huge, especially if you’re like me and always opt for performance mode. I’ll be getting my hands on the PS5 Pro when it drops in November (hey, it’s part of the job!), and I’m excited to put it through its paces. But the question is, at nearly $800 if you want the disc drive, is this upgrade really worth it? What do you think? Is the PS5 Pro the leap forward we need, or just another small step? Let me know! https://lnkd.in/gkxymip9

Figures From Sony Celebrates PlayStation’s 30th Anniversary Updated Console Sales 😉 The PlayStation 2? Still the GOAT 🐐 of consoles, hitting a whopping 160 million units sold—a flex-worthy 5M increase since 2012. Production ended in 2013, but the PS2 is still untouchable, outpacing the Nintendo DS (154M) and the Switch (146M).

The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima will have trophy support, a first for Sony PlayStation‘s PC titles. Players who sign in to their PSN accounts on PC will be able to earn Trophies. The list of trophies is the same as the PS5 version of the game, but it’s not clear if the list will be treated as separate from the PS5 version, as is the case with games that have both a PS4 and PS5 version. The game will be released on PC on May 16. A new PlayStation PC overlay will also debut with the release of Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut. “Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is the first PlayStation title on PC that uses a new PlayStation overlay, which includes your Friends list, Trophies, Settings, and your Profile,” explained Nixxes Software‘s Julian Huijbregts. “This feature is available on Windows PCs and will be accessible from the in-game menu or, for keyboard players, by pressing the “SHIFT +F1” shortcut on your keyboard.” (source: https://lnkd.in/eMHSNHME)
