This week on “PS This is Awesome!,” The crew dives into a packed lineup of PlayStation news, surprises, and a few eyebrow-raising stories from around the gaming world.
Sony is rolling out PS5 age verification later this year in the UK, Ireland, and Brazil, requiring users to confirm their age before accessing messages and voice chat. Is this the future of online console communication, or just another hoop to jump through?
We also talk about the breakout success of Pragmata, which has already sold 1 million copies in just three days, proving Capcom may have another major new IP on its hands. On the industry side, former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida made headlines with candid comments about being pushed out of Worldwide Studios after clashing with former CEO Jim Ryan.
Elsewhere, Dragon Ball FighterZ is somehow getting brand-new DLC eight years after launch, and we discuss why long-term support like this is always cool to see. Then there’s the hilariously shameless Gran Turismo knockoff “Gran Carismo,” now reportedly being renamed before release after drawing attention for all the wrong reasons.
We also cover the latest rumor that Fair Games is still alive, possibly pivoting into a free-to-play extraction shooter, plus thoughts on the new Street Fighter movie trailer, which seems to be embracing full-on B-movie chaos. Is that genius or disaster in the making?
Finally, we look at the huge sales momentum behind Crimson Desert, now at 5 million copies in under a month, and react to the announcement of Metro 2039, which promises a darker return to the series’ roots.
Plus, as always, we run through this week’s new releases and what you should be playing next.
