PlayStation 5 has no games according to its users and Sony has decided to manage it in the worst possible way

Sony is not escaping the mouths of gamers. Not for the better. For every interesting news like the upcoming State of Play on June 2, there are at least a couple of much less positive news.

Sony is not escaping the mouths of gamers. Not for the better. For every piece of interesting news like the upcoming State of Play on June 2, there are at least a couple of much less positive news. And the general perception is that Sony is in serious trouble this generation. PlayStation 5 is a console that is perceived as lacking video games, and moreover, it seems that Sony is not doing anything to improve that situation. In fact, it seems they have no problem worsening it.

PlayStation 5 will have exclusives, but in what way

Hermen Hulst, CEO of Studio Business Group —in charge of first-party studios and adaptations of PlayStation IPs to other media—, communicated last Monday, May 18, to the company’s internal studios that most of their games will become exclusive to PlayStation 5. This has caused quite a stir of discontent among players.

This has nuances. As Hulst himself clarified, this will not affect all video games, since multiplayer games, like Marathon or Helldivers 2, will continue to appear normally on PC. But narrative games focused on an exclusive single-player experience, like Spider-Man, God of War, or Ghost of Tsushima, which have currently appeared on PC, will not have their sequels on PC as their fans might expect.

This is not new information. Bloomberg already warned last March that these were the internal plans within Sony, although without an official confirmation, everything remained up in the air. But now that it has been made, it seems evident what its purpose is: to create a reason for users to buy PlayStation 5 and integrate into the PlayStation ecosystem.

A convenient price increase

If this weren’t enough, PlayStation has decided to raise the prices of all its products. In addition to the fact that PlayStation 5 already increased in price last March, the third time in this generation, they have also decided to raise the prices of their PlayStation Plus service, essential for online gaming. This is something that, once again, has not been well received among users. Having to pay between 1 and 2 euros more on average for each month of the service may seem like a small increase, but it must be added to all the other price increases of the company’s products.

What is the reason for all this? It is because the situation of PlayStation this generation is tremendously precarious. Although they attribute it to the economic and geopolitical situation, due to the price of oil, computer materials, and customs —which they have also tried to take advantage of—, they also face a self-induced problem.

At the beginning of the generation, they decided to firmly bet on games as a service, announcing up to 12 of them for mid-2026. Of those, less than half have survived. With all the released ones being a failure, except for Helldivers 2, it seems that PlayStation’s policy has changed again to refocus on narrative-driven single-player games, with one problem. They have been in development for a long time, and all their studios have been busy making games as a service at the company’s insistence.

If users feel that PlayStation 5 lacks games, it is because the cadence of their release has been minimal. And it is not going to improve in the future. They tried to find their own Fortnite in games like Marathon, but they failed, and now they are trying to save the situation by raising prices, returning to single-player games, and putting the burden of the price on the players. But is this a good strategy? Only time will tell. But what is evident is that Sony is not in a good situation. And to a large extent, it is not because of what they have done to themselves.

There is a way for you to watch 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' totally for free: by getting into 'Fortnite'

Do you remember when film directors used movie theaters to reach audiences and television (or YouTube) to announce their new projects? The good old days. Now, from Quentin Tarantino, who destroyed the legacy of Kill Bill, to series like Star Wars: Underworld Stories that can be seen first on Fortnite, and then, if at all, on other platforms. How could Mando not join this trend? Grogu achieves a masterful victory.

Do you remember when movie directors used cinemas to reach audiences and television (or YouTube) to announce their new projects? The good old days. Now, from Quentin Tarantino, who shattered the legacy of Kill Bill, to series like Star Wars: Underworld Stories can be seen first on Fortnite, and then, if at all, on other platforms. How could Mando not join this trend?

Grogu achieves a masterful victory

Now you just need to connect to Fortnite, specifically to an island designed for this purpose, to enjoy the first 10 minutes of The Mandalorian And Grogu. Even more! On May 26, the very director, Jon Favreau, will appear to answer fans’ questions. I don’t want to sound like an old man shouting at a cloud, mind you: it makes sense, and after all, film producers have to go where their audience is. And the audience for this movie is currently achieving masterful victories in Fortnite.

Not only will part of the movie be shown, but players will also be able to explore Nevarro, the planet from The Mandalorian, which the team has recreated down to the smallest detail. They will even be able to help Grogu complete small missions, and the reward for staying 20 minutes on the island will be… well, getting a loading screen with concept art from the movie. It’s definitely worth it, yes. Wow, amazing, a loading screen.

Additionally, of course, the campaign wouldn’t be complete without a suit that you can buy in the store and the possibility, since last month, of designing islands based on Star Wars, being able to use characters, tools, locations, weapons, or whatever you want, in a very obvious desperation to reach a new audience. Kids, come get to know Star Wars, it’s really “cool.” Is “cool” still a thing, kids? ¿Six-seven?

The CEO of Hasbro wants you to start thinking of Dungeons & Dragons as a game as a service

Chris Cook, CEO of Hasbro, has revealed the new policy for Dungeons & Dragons in a recent interview with GamesRadar. Stating that the future of the game lies in resembling video games and their business model more closely, he asserted that players must come to terms with the fact that “Dungeons & Dragons is a game as a service” and that this will be the policy they will follow from now on with the game.

Chris Cook, CEO of Hasbro, has revealed what the new policy for Dungeons & Dragons is in a recent interview with GamesRadar. Stating that the future of the game lies in resembling video games and their business model, he has asserted that players must come to terms with the fact that “Dungeons & Dragons is a game as a service” and that this will be the policy they will follow from now on with the game.

A man with a business model in mind

While Cook does not clarify in the interview what he exactly means by thinking of Dungeons & Dragons as a game as a service, it seems he is referring exactly to this. Instead of having to wait for the release of the books, we can receive small periodic updates that keep us engaged and consuming constantly without having to wait a year and a half or two years until the book is ready. Thus articulating the game both in large seasonal events and smaller, more constant updates.

Something that fits perfectly with the two new initiatives from Wizards of the Coast, the developer of Dungeons & Dragons. On one hand, a seasonal release model focused on a particular event. On the other hand, weekly drops of new rules, different items, or digital cosmetics for your D&D Beyond account.

This aligns perfectly with both Cook’s policies and the decisions they have made for the near future of the game. When Cook took office, the first thing he did was declare his ambitions for Dungeons & Dragons to be digitized and to have a greater presence in the digital realm over the physical, emphasizing the need to give greater value to the computer and online game. Something that has only increased over time.

According to Cook, “books will always be an important part of Dungeons & Dragons,” but it seems he wants to change that process. Making books less important.And if that’s the case, and if games as a service like Fortnite and its microtransactions are any example, it is to be feared that he also wants to start charging us for things that until now he hasn’t been charging us for.

Inflation arrives in Fortnite: The price of its official currency increases

Epic Games has announced a significant change that will affect all Fortnite players: the price of V-Bucks, the in-game currency within the popular Battle Royale, will increase starting March 19. This adjustment is due to the rising costs of maintaining the game’s servers, which forced the company to modify its pricing policy. The server does not maintain itself While the prices of the different V-Bucks packages will remain the same, the amount of V-Bucks players will receive will be significantly reduced. For example, instead of 1,000 V-Bucks […]

Epic Games has announced a significant change that will affect all Fortnite players: the price of V-Bucks, the in-game currency within the popular Battle Royale, will increase starting March 19.

This adjustment is due to the rising costs of maintaining the game’s servers, which forced the company to modify its pricing policy.

The server does not maintain itself

While the prices of the different paVos packages will remain the same, the amount of paVos that players will receive will be significantly reduced. For example, instead of the 1,000 paVos that were obtained for 8.99 euros, players will now receive 800 paVos for the same price. This decrease affects all formats, as can be seen in the changes table announced by Epic Games.

Additionally, Epic Games will introduce a refund system that will return 20% in Epic Games rewards for each purchase made. This refund can be used in Fortnite and other titles from the company, including popular ones like Fall Guys and Rocket League.

It is also worth noting that, although the cost of the battle pass will decrease from 1,000 paVos to 800 paVos, it will only grant 800 paVos upon completion, eliminating additional rewards in the form of paVos. Along with the battle pass, other passes, such as the Origins pass and the music pass, will also adjust their prices to 800 paVos and 1,200 paVos, respectively.

For the players’ peace of mind, Epic Games has assured that gift cards that have not been previously redeemed will not be affected by these changes and will continue to deliver the indicated amount of V-Bucks on them. This move is a response to the growing demand for the resources required to operate Fortnite and its servers.

The video game industry could reach a value of 197 billion dollars by the end of this year

The global video game market is on track to reach a value of $197 billion by 2025, growing at an annual rate of 7.5%. This growth is primarily driven by strong performance in the PC and mobile sectors, according to an analysis by Newzoo. The proposal that the industry will exceed initial expectations is reinforced by the increasing popularity of premium PC games, which are expected to generate $43 billion, representing a 10.4% increase compared to the previous year. The largest entertainment industry in the world A highlighted aspect of […]

The largest entertainment industry in the world

A highlighted aspect of the report is that all the titles in the top 10 best-selling PC games in 2025 are premium games, underscoring the relevance of full-price releases in the performance of the PC market. Games like Schedule 1, Arc Raiders, REPO, and Dune: Awakening have shown strong representation in this ranking, highlighting the interest in quality games that require an initial investment from the user.

However, a notable fact is the absence of the Call of Duty franchise from this list. Activision and Microsoft are aware of this change in market dynamics, adjusting their release strategies and abandoning the practice of offering consecutive releases of titles like Modern Warfare or Black Ops. Although Black Ops 7 has been one of the less prominent releases, its performance remains remarkable compared to other platforms.

In the realm of monthly active users, popular titles like Counter-Strike 2, Minecraft, and Fortnite continue to dominate the scene, affirming the durability of games as a service. In this context, it is interpreted that players seek shared experiences that allow them to enjoy their leisure moments together, which reaffirms a social approach to digital entertainment.

The recent arrival of Chapter 7 of Fortnite, which was anticipated as a moment of celebration for the community, has been overshadowed by a growing controversy. Fans have accused Epic Games of using generative artificial intelligence to create some of the images featured in the video game, leading to protests within the gaming ecosystem.

An artist accused of not doing their job

The trigger for this controversy was the presentation of an anime-style spray depicting Marty McFly, the iconic character from Back to the Future. Several players noticed similarities with AI-generated imitations of Studio Ghibli and pointed out inconsistencies in the representation of certain objects, such as watches with a blurred finish. These findings have fueled suspicion that some of the images may have been generated by algorithms rather than crafted by human artists.

Under community pressure, Sean Dove, the artist behind the illustration of Marty McFly, publicly defended himself. He shared a video showing his work process, presenting the image in layers to demonstrate that the work is original and not the result of AI. However, Dove admitted that he might have used AI-generated images for some elements, which, according to him, contributed to the confusion about the quality of certain details, such as the watches.

Additionally, players have pointed out other images within the game that seem to have the ‘blurry finish’ typically associated with generative AI. One of the most notable examples is the representation of a yeti that, according to players, exhibits anatomical anomalies, which has increased suspicion of misuse of automatic generation technology in the creation of the game’s art.

K-pop arrives in Fortnite

The ‘Fortnite Festival’, which will be launched in the game, will feature LISA as the main act in Season 12 of the event. This famous artist has become a global icon thanks to her role as a K-pop idol, which will attract a vast audience of both ‘Fortnite’ fans and her music.

The announcement from Epic Games coincides with the growing popularity of online music events, a phenomenon that has gained momentum in recent years, especially during the pandemic. With the inclusion of a renowned artist like LISA, ‘Fortnite’ aims not only to enhance the gaming experience but also to further establish itself as a cultural hub where music and video games converge.

More details about this exciting event are expected as the release date approaches, but the inclusion of LISA is already generating excitement in the gaming community and among the artist’s followers. The collaboration could present new opportunities for interaction between artists and players, paving the way for more events of this kind in the future.

Quentin Tarantino will show an unreleased scene from 'Kill Bill'… in 'Fortnite'!

In a surprising announcement, Epic Games has revealed that the upcoming Fortnite update will include an unfilmed scene from the iconic movie Kill Bill. Titled The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, this sequence has been presented by director Quentin Tarantino and actress Uma Thurman during a special event at the Vista Theater in Hollywood.

In a surprising announcement, Epic Games has revealed that the upcoming Fortnite update will include an unfilmed scene from the iconic movie Kill Bill. Titled The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, this sequence has been presented by director Quentin Tarantino and actress Uma Thurman during a special event at the Vista Theater in Hollywood. This chapter is part of the context of the theatrical re-release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, which will premiere on December 5.

The Return of The Bride

The lost scene, which was originally conceived for Kill Bill Volume 1, focuses on Yuki, Gogo Yubari’s sister, who seeks revenge against The Bride. Tarantino has mentioned in the past that this sequence was removed for pacing reasons, which adds an air of anticipation about its content. However, it is still unclear how this new addition will be implemented in Fortnite; it could be an animated short, a mission for players, or a large-scale event within the game.

As Fortnite becomes a melting pot of various intellectual properties, its ability to merge universes from different franchises becomes more evident. Players will soon be able to face off and collaborate with characters not only from Kill Bill but also from The Simpsons, Star Wars, or Mortal Kombat, among others. This phenomenon will be solidified with the release of chapter 7 of Fortnite, scheduled for November 30.

Additionally, Tarantino has hinted at his interest in continuing the saga with a possible third installment of Kill Bill, which could explore the lives of The Bride and her daughter B.B. Kiddo twenty years after the events of the first films. While this is still in the realm of rumors, his statement has sparked the interest of fans.

This event coincides with the transformation of the Fortnite island into Springfield Island, where iconic locations such as Moe’s Tavern, Krusty Burger, and the Power Plant have been incorporated, giving fans the opportunity to explore a new facet of the Simpsons universe.

More lore than many plots of The Simpsons

The first short, titled Apocalypse D’oh, features the iconic characters Kang and Kodos facing off against some of the heroes from Fortnite, such as Jonesy, Hope, and Fishstick, who, true to his name, is turned into actual fishsticks during the narrative. The story unfolds after an incident inside a wormhole involving a fragment of a Zero Point Shard, referencing previous crossover events, including those from Marvel.

These narrative shorts will be released weekly every Monday throughout November, where more details will be revealed about how The Simpsons were introduced into this world full of Battles and Victories. Additionally, the crossover includes a classic couch gag from the series, where the Fortnite character, Peely, is transformed into a banana split, adding a dose of characteristic humor.

The narrative of Apocalypse D’oh also offers meta commentary on the crossing of realities, mentioning other crossover events from Fortnite, such as collaborations with DC and Star Wars. This creative approach not only entertains but also reflects the evolving nature of entertainment through bold and original collaborations.

This crossover between The Simpsons and Fortnite reinforces the legacy of both franchises as leaders in entertainment, promising new experiences for fans of both communities. For more information about the event and other releases, you can check the season guide of The Simpsons in Fortnite.

In addition, there will be a themed battle pass for The Simpsons and an extensive map modification is anticipated, although specific details about these changes have not yet been revealed.
