PS5 Drawbacks: Pricey Hardware, Fewer Exclusives, and Compatibility Quirks

The PS5 delivers 4K/60fps with fast SSD and a feature-rich DualSense, but it has notable downsides: a high starting price (Digital Edition at $599), fewer first-party exclusives than the PS4, a limited lineup for PlayStation VR2, no forward compatibility for DualShock 4 with PS5-native games, weaker backward compatibility for PS1-PS3 discs, and no day-one first-party releases on PS Plus Catalog (unlike Game Pass). The Disc Edition adds $50 but may pay off over time for those who value physical media.

PS5 Recently Played Fails for Two Weeks as Sony Remains Silent

The PS5 'Recently Played' feature has been down for about two weeks on both the console and the PS App after Sony briefly took it down to fix a PS Store glitch; clocks appear off by about a month, causing games to disappear or not register, and Sony has offered no ETA or official acknowledgement, leaving players frustrated.

GTA 6 Launch Brings a $900 Console Barrier

GTA 6 Launch Brings a $900 Console Barrier

GTA 6 drops on Nov 19, 2026, but players face a steep hardware price hurdle: PS5 now $650 (Digital $600) and Xbox Series X 1TB $800, with the 2TB version discontinued. No cheaper redesigns due to AI chip shortages, and GTA 6’s Ultimate Edition adds $100. The piece argues this could widen the gaming affordability gap, unlike past generations when hardware often got cheaper after launch.

PS5 Still a Smart Buy as PS6 Launch Likely Slips to 2028–2029

With analysts suggesting a PS6 could be delayed to 2028–2029, buying a PS5 now remains sensible given uncertain next-gen pricing and features. Sony is likely to support the PS5 for years even after a new console arrives, so waiting for the PS6 may not offer better value or guarantees on backward compatibility, price, or launch titles.

Halo Campaign Evolved's PS5 split-screen policy sparks fan confusion

Halo Campaign Evolved's PS5 split-screen policy sparks fan confusion

Halo: Campaign Evolved’s local split-screen on PS5 drew Firestorm-like chatter after Halo Studios initially said two PS Plus subscriptions were required for couch co‑op. The June 2026 update clarifies the policy: local co‑op only requires a PSN account for each player (each linked to a Microsoft account); PlayStation Plus is not required for local split-screen. Halo’s PS5 debut thus hinges on per-player PSN accounts, not two active PS Plus memberships, with the game launching on PS5 alongside other platforms.

Sony Teases God of War Laufey Arrival Ahead of 2027

Insider Gaming reports that Sony/PlayStation emails hint God of War: Laufey is coming soon for PS5, with insiders suggesting a release as early as 2027; Laufey was introduced in the June 2026 State of Play as a spin-off alongside a God of War Trilogy Remake, and Sony has begun branding it as 'GOW Laufey,' fueling speculation about its launch timeline while Wolverine’s release window remains a topic of discussion.

Black Ops Ports Generate Bigger Hype on PS5 Than Modern Warfare 4 Debut

Social media metrics show fans are more excited for PS5 ports of Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 than for Modern Warfare 4. Treyarch’s posts about the July port launches (handled by Iron Galaxy) attracted far more likes, replies, and retweets than MW4’s reveal trailer. The ports will include the original PS3 modes (single player, multiplayer, and co-op) and appear to target PS5/PS4 players, while Modern Warfare 4 is slated for a October 23, 2026 release. The article view suggests nostalgia is driving engagement, though it notes sales outcomes remain uncertain.

Bloodborne on PS5 Could Be a Native 4K, 100+ FPS Ride—If Sony Cared

Bloodborne on PS5 Could Be a Native 4K, 100+ FPS Ride—If Sony Cared

Digital Foundry demonstrated that Bloodborne can run on PlayStation 5 at native 4K with a locked 30 FPS, and, with a mod and the PS5’s extra RAM, can reach over 60 FPS at 1440p (up to ~70 FPS) and about 100 FPS at 1080p, plus 120Hz VRR at 1440p. This effectively amounts to a near-remaster achieved via mods on an exploitable unit, highlighting how little developer effort would be required and underscoring Sony’s lack of an official backward-compatibility upgrade—likely leaving a true remaster to future consoles like the PS6.
