The PlayStation VR2 Headset didn’t light the world on fire when it originally released in 2023, but its user base has grown despite a lackluster launch. Plus, the headset itself features some pretty impressive VR hardware. Following a substantial $200 discount in 2024, many PlayStation 5 owners got to enjoy Beatsaber and Resident Evil 4 in first-person for the relatively more affordable price of $349.99. What’s more, Sony has since released a PC Adapter for the VR2, which provides access to the thousands of VR games available on Steam and a new option for VR gamers on PC.

But it turns out its devastating efficiency might actually be a bug. - Kenneth Shepard Read More

If you’re the type of Pokémon fan who cares about collecting every variation of its 1,000+ monsters, that means constantly seeking out special events to receive a rare critter or searching for hours to find one with a low spawn rate hiding in the tall grass. Shiny Pokémon are the rarest of the rare, with a color scheme different from the regular versions of any given pocket monster. Some rare legendaries are even “shiny-locked,” meaning they will never appear in games with the alternate coloring. But good news: two of them are finally being made available, although you’ll have to complete the entire Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus or Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl to claim them. - Kenneth Shepard Read More

However, it looks like the patch has mysteriously appeared on PlayStation 5, and Larian’s not sure why. If you want to get an un-tested preview of the patch, go ahead and download it on your PS5.

The Zone is home to countless mutations and enemies, like bandits wielding shotguns and Snorks ambushing a lone Stalker foolish enough to wander into an abandoned factory at night. Sure, the right weapon, like a powerful submachine gun or fast-firing revolver, will make quick work of most enemies in the game, giving you the edge in pushing forward with your assault. But what about defense? Your typical suit won’t stop a bullet, nor will it make you stronger and faster. But an exoskeleton will! - Brandon Morgan Read More
