New PlayStation sale offers epic discounts on PS5 games — here's 15 deals I'd buy from $5
PlayStation Store has just launched its latest collection of deals, dubbed the "Next Level Savings" sale. It includes some sizeable discounts on loads of must-play PS5 games, and you can score a full PlayStation game from just $5.
My favorite deal in this sale is a toss-up between Persona 5 Royal for $23 and Demon's Souls for $29. Both games can keep you busy for dozens of hours and are essential PS5 titles. Other low-cost deals include RoboCop: Rogue City for $8 and the very underrated Pentiment for just $9.
I've also found some excellent PS5 game deals at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, just in case you'd prefer a physical disc over a digital download.
After more than a decade of waiting, EA has returned to the world of NCAA football in the appropriately titled College Football 25. And this simulation of college football was worth the weight.

Fully playable in co-op, Dead Island 2 is a rip-roaring open-world game full of zombies to slaughter, survivors to assist and loot to collect.
One of the most acclaimed and influential games of all time, Resident Evil 4 has been reborn in this full-scale remake. You play Leon S. Kennedy on a mission to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter in a spooky European village overrun with gruesome enemies.

Sonic X Shadow Generations combines a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, a love letter to the Blue Blur that remains a fan-favorite to this day, with a new Shadow-focused campaign. It's a strong package, and it was perfectly timed to coincide with the latest Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie.

We loved how the side quests and minigames provided a huge amount of depth to the gameplay, and we considered it a must-own PS5 title in our Final Fantasy VII Rebirth review.
Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest entry in the long-running series, and sees you venture into new terrortiy teeming with fearsome creatures to craft.

Ex PlayStation boss thinks Nintendo's cheaper Japan-exclusive Switch 2 is an "amazing business decision," but doesn't think "PlayStation would emulate what they did"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida has called the Japan-exclusive edition of the Nintendo Switch 2 an "amazing business decision." Worlds collided recently as former PlayStation head Shuhei Yoshida joined forces with Nintendo of America's former marketing leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang on an episode of their podcast. They spoke about their time working at the respective companies, with the topic of the rivalry between the DS and the PSP naturally coming up during the conversation. Despite being a player for the other team, Yoshida was extremely positive about the Switch 2, especially the Japanese-only edition that costs $110 less than the worldwide edition, with the caveat that you'll only be able to play Japanese region Nintendo games on it. Yoshida said the direction from Nintendo was "mind boggling," but an "amazing business decision." "I do not necessarily think other companies like PlayStation would emulate what they did," he added. "It doesn't make sense to me, you know, selling the same thing for such a different price for other consumers." Yoshida notes "it's clearly showing they want to keep the strong hold in Japan that they already have… that's an amazing decision they have made." Handhelds are an extremely strong market in Japan, and pretty much always have been. It's the reason Monster Hunter was pretty much a handheld-exclusive series for so long before the series took off worldwide. So Nintendo offering a cheaper way to get more handheld systems out to Japanese consumers is arguably a good plan, even if selling a console at a significant regional discount at launch is, as Yoshida said, "mind boggling." Wind Waker on Nintendo Switch 2 made two tiny changes that break it wide open for Zelda speedrunners – a strategy so hard "only a few people in the whole world can do it" is suddenly a lot easier.

After the Bezos wedding, protesters demand the billionaire ‘get out of our lagoon'
After Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot in Venice on Friday, a few hundred protesters gathered Saturday at a city train station for a march, united with one message for the Amazon billionaire and his bride: go away. 'Bezos, f**k off,' they chanted in Italian. 'Out of our lagoon!' One bearded man toted a Shrek-themed placard with the same message: 'Get Out of Our Lagoon,' the 'a' in lagoon sprouting Shrek ears, with a Spotify link below for the theme song from the first movie in the series, Smash Mouth's 'All Star.' 'Bezos goes hand-in-hand with (US President Donald) Trump, who's fueling more money in war,' one woman bellowed into a microphone by the station. 'We are for peace.' '(Bezos) has such a lot of power,' Austrian protester Hans Peter Martin told CNN. 'And now he's abusing this city as a place to show off. So, he's not welcome here.' Sofia D'Amato, a 22-year-old Venetian, emphasized that the protests weren't about envy for Bezos' wealth or power. 'We are not jealous of the fact that he earns so much money, that he is one of the most powerful men in the world,' D'Amato told CNN. 'We are jealous when his wealth hits us in the face.' Venice's Ministry of Tourism says the three-day wedding, which reportedly cost $55 million, could provide a boost of almost 68% of the city's annual tourism turnover. On top of that, Sanchez and Bezos gave 1 million euros each to three Venetian cultural institutions, according to Reuters; a total of 3 million euros worth of donations. Their philanthropy left D'Amato unimpressed. 'They say that Jeff Bezos donated money to Venice,' D'Amato said. 'It was donated after our dissent. Such a sum for a magnate is paltry.' Protesters drew a stark contrast between the decadence of Bezos and Sanchez's wedding the day before and the harsh realities of working at the billionaire's company. 'We can barely pay the rent,' one woman, who identified herself as an Amazon worker, told a crowd of demonstrators. 'Many of us come from far away to reach the warehouse. We make do … we don't see these millions.' Some protesters joined in an old leftist chant as the demonstration moved toward the Ponte delle Guglie: 'The people united will never be defeated.' At least one protester took aim at the couple's fashion sense with a sign declaring that 'Money Can't Buy Style.' Many held aloft Amazon boxes with various messages inscribed: 'Rejected,' 'No Space for Bezos.' Multiple flags were visible among the protesters: Palestinian flags, pride flags, anti-fascist flags and Venice's fimbriated red standard were among the popular choices. A few individuals waved a modified version, the sword-bearing golden lion at its hoist wearing a black balaclava. Venice city officials were unamused by the protesters, denouncing them in a press release as 'ridiculous' and 'grotesque.' 'Contesting a wedding (any wedding) is already ridiculous in itself. But here we have exceeded all limits of common sense,' read a municipal statement released Saturday. 'We have descended into the folklore of 'No to everything.''
