Blame hardware, blame Square Enix — either way, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth forces you into a big graphical compromise on the PS5. It’s the one game I’d desperately like to play on the $700 PS5 Pro instead. Now, thanks to Digital Foundry, we all can.
The Star Wars slimelord’s Sail Barge is 3,942 pieces and comes with 11 figs, including R2-D2 with drink tray, Leia in her infamous bikini, and a gigantic (by minifig scale) Jabba himself. It takes artistic liberties inside the ship, including a food-filled galley.

My biggest problem with Sony’s PSVR2 PC adapter was controllers that kept misbehaving — even though I was using Sony’s first-recommended TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth adapter to pair them.

You can already adjust temps by dial with the $250 kit, or plug the $80 iron into a PC, but iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens agrees it should work with phones too — and will, eventually.
The stumbling block: mobile browsers don’t yet support web-serial, which he’d prefer to a dedicated phone app. “There won’t be any changes or additional firmware required for the device once we’ve got something,” he promises.
