Lancée en 2020, la PlayStation 5 est vendue avec un grand logo « 8K » sur sa boîte, qui promet une compatibilité avec les écrans de cette définition. Une aberration que Sony a enfin corrigée… en attendant la PS5 Pro ?

Sony comptait rendre obligatoire l'association d'un compte PlayStation à un compte Steam pour jouer à la version PC d'Helldivers 2. Un review bombing historique l'a contraint à revenir en arrière.

La dernière annonce du studio derrière Helldivers 2 est en train de fâcher une partie de sa communauté. En cause : la nécessité de lier son compte Steam à son compte PlayStation Network. Depuis le 3 mai, les critiques pleuvent.

[Deal du jour] La DualSense Edge, sans être un modèle indispensable, est un bon accessoire, malheureusement vendu trop cher à sa sortie l'an dernier. La manette pro de la PlayStation 5 est bien plus intéressante lorsque son prix baisse un peu. Des promotions sur la console et ses accessoires sont aussi disponibles.

Depuis plusieurs années, la rumeur d'un casque Xbox VR circule. Microsoft, comme Sony, va-t-il se mettre aux jeux immersifs ? L'entreprise va bel et bien lancer un casque de réalité virtuelle, mais avec des ambitions très différentes.

À en croire différentes rumeurs très insistantes, Sony lancerait une PlayStation 5 Pro en fin d'année 2024. Il s'agirait de la console la plus puissante du marché, qui permettrait de faire mieux tourner les jeux du catalogue de la PS5 sortie en novembre 2020. Que sait-on à son sujet ?
