Halo on PS5 Drops PS Plus Demand for Local Co-Op After Backlash

After backlash, the developer updated FAQs to say offline local co-op only needs a PSN account for each player, not PS Plus; online co-op still requires PS Plus. The episode highlights ongoing confusion over cross-platform account requirements in console ports and has fueled debate about subscription gatekeeping.

Switch 2 Outshines PS5 on Portability, Exclusives, and Value

The piece argues that, while both consoles have their audiences, the Nintendo Switch 2 offers stronger overall value for many buyers: it has enduring Nintendo exclusives, true portability with a capable docked 4K mode, a family-friendly yet adult‑oriented game lineup, built‑in couch co‑op, two controllers by default and cheaper third‑party options, and easier, cheaper storage via microSD. It also notes PS5 price hikes and aging hardware as drawbacks, contrasting with Switch 2’s relative affordability and newer chassis, suggesting Switch 2 is the more compelling single‑console choice for a broad range of users.
