Well, y’all, this week I decided to give The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin a break. I’ve been pretty harsh toward the show’s second season for fundamentally misunderstanding so many of the bold creative decisions of the game on which it’s based. This week’s episode, however, was the best—or at least the least…
Players who are reeling from recent price hikes or simply looking for great deals should prepare for the annual PlayStation Days of Play 2025 sales and community event. Sony’s biggest promotion of the year will kick off within a few weeks at the earliest, bringing discounts on video games, hardware, accessories, and hopefully, PS Plus.
Days of Play, which first kicked off in 2017, always starts towards the end of May or early June. Last year’s event kicked off on May 29, but previous years has seen Days of Play go live a little sooner than that.
Based on the aforementioned pattern, the earliest we expect Days of Play 2025 to start is in the week beginning May 26.
Sony’s official Days of Play website is already being updated in the back end. Running a Google search for the event brings up an official webpage titled “Days of Play 2025 | Incredible deals on PS5 games…” but clicking through leads to last year’s end-of-promotion message, thanking fans for taking part in the event.
As for what players can expect, a massive PS Store sale is pretty much guaranteed, and in line with previous years, we expect discounts on PS5 hardware and accessories. Past Days of Play events have included discounts on PS Plus as well, and we don’t see a reason why the subscription would be excluded from the promotion this time.
We’ll make sure to update our readers when Days of Play 2025 is officially announced

A once highly-anticipated PS5 game has been quietly delayed out of its release window, and players are only just starting to notice. BioShock creator Ken Levine’s Judas was supposed to be out by now, but there’s been no word from developer Ghost Story Games or publisher Take-Two Interactive.
Back in February 2023, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that Judas — which was conceptualized more than a decade ago in 2014 — will release by March 2025, at the latest. Zelnick seemed confident about this release window when quizzed about it by IGN at the time, and stated that while delays can happen, Take-Two’s schedule is expected to remain stable.
Yesterday, the publisher announced that GTA 6 will miss its release window of 2025 and will now launch in May 2026. However, there was no mention of Judas anywhere.
A year prior to Judas receiving a March 2025 release window, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier had reported that the game was in development hell, with sources blaming Levine’s leadership style for developer burnout.
Given Schreier’s report and the fact that we’ve barely seen or head anything about Judas, we can’t help but wonder if the game will ever see the light of day.

It looks like Sony won’t increase the price of first-party PS5 games in the near future, unlike Nintendo and Microsoft. When Ghost of Yotei pre-orders finally went live yesterday, fans breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the standard version was still listed at $70.
Ghost of Yotei’s retail price is significant here because the game launches in October 2025. Nintendo’s new $80 price tag will come into effect starting June with the launch of Switch 2, and Xbox game prices will be adjusted to $80 starting holiday 2025.
Some fans reckon that Ghost of Yotei’s price indicates that Sony won’t be following suit until the end of 2025, at least. But what comes afterwards remains to be seen. For now, players are relieved.
“I’m glad it’s 70 dollars instead of 80,” wrote one player as Ghost of Yotei pre-orders went live. “Hope Sony holds out on increasing their games prices.” Others expressed similar views.
Some, however, are not convinced that Sony isn’t planning a price increase.
“Keeping the price of their games at $70 is such an easy win that they will 100% f*** it up,” a fan said. “The Sony games after this will go to 80,” another one added with confidence.
Frankly, we’ll be surprised if Sony doesn’t hike up game prices next year. But we’ll celebrate Ghost of Yotei being $70 for now.
