The PS5 has finally been bundled with the game that makes purchasing the console totally worth it. The Astro Bot PS5 bundle is $450 and goes on sale March 13th. It’s a PS5 slim model that comes with the disk drive and 1 TB of storage.
Not that you’ll need all that space because Astro Bot, 2024’s wholly correct Game of the Year, is the only game you’ll ever need to play on it.
While we wait for season 2 of The Last of Us on HBO (and maybe, but probably not, a third video game) Sony is putting out a new special edition PS5 controller. It’s covered in TLOU iconography and launches on April 10th — just a few days before the show premieres.
Split Fiction, the new game from It Takes Two developer Hazelight Studios, launches today on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Because the game requires co-op play, Hazelight is bringing back the popular Friend Pass program.
With Friend Pass, if you own Split Fiction, you can invite a friend to play with you without needing to purchase a second copy of the game. Friend Pass is also cross-play enabled, making it easier than ever to find your Player 2.
In a new interview in Variety, Neil Druckmann, creative director of The Last of Us series, doesn’t seem confident the popular game turned HBO hit will get a third installment. “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it,” he says in the interview.
Which is odd because just last year Druckmann said he thinks there’s one more chapter left to the story.
Sony just issued a new update for the nearly 20-year-old console. This brings the software up to version 4.92 and, as Eurogamer notes, these updates are an annual occurrence to renew the Blu-ray player’s encryption key, so that you can still use the PS3 for watching new movies.

Hazelight Studios’ keeps nailing it with its co-op games by doing simple things really well.
