PS5 Pro Price Reduction: Sony has announced significant discounts on various PlayStation 5 packages, including the PS5 Pro, ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2's launch. The PS5 Pro is now available for $649.99, down from $699.99, making it a more attractive option for gamers.

Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel in Preproduction: CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, codenamed "Project Orion," has entered the preproduction phase with 96 developers working on it.
