If you look only at the base game for Monster Hunter World, then Resident Evil 2 is catching up with Capcom's best-selling game of all time. The latter managed 600,000 sales during the stated period, while Monster Hunter World only added 100,000 units to its 22.5 million sales total. If things continue on that trajectory, then Resident Evil 2 will eventually be Capcom's best-selling game in its history.

Remember Sea of Remnants? Announced for PS5 last year during a summer State of Play, we've yet to see very much of the actual game so far, but it seems it won't be long before we can actually play it for ourselves. That's because a closed beta test is scheduled for 3rd December 2026, and console platforms are being included for the first time. A select number of players will be able to check it out when it opens at 4pm PT on that date.

News Aniplex PS5 Industry Ani-perplexed Sony-owned publisher Aniplex will release dark fantasy visual novel LunaVerse on the Switch and PC next year, marking yet another occasion in which the subsidiary has skipped PS5. The media firm, which is under the umbrella of Sony Music, has been releasing more titles of late – many of which don’t deploy on its parent company’s device.

Rockstar Games has announced GTA 6: The Festival, a special live music event being held to celebrate the launch of the open world action game. Presented in partnership with PlayStation, the one-off event takes place in Miami, Florida on 21st November, 2026.

You may need to turn to crime in order to afford UK retailer Selfridges’ exclusive roster of GTA 6 merch. Available online and in-store now, items include a £2,500 (~$3,352) varsity jacket with the Rockstar and GTA 6 logos emblazoned on them. You can also get a leather Burger Shot takeaway bag for £125 (~$167). The variety of items is admittedly eclectic: there’s a Vice City Manatees American football for £80 (~$107), a ton of different t-shirts, and even a bunch of baseball caps.

Retailers are beginning the process of shipping out their boxed copies of GTA 6, which include a digital download code instead of a physical disc. As they receive their stock, it's now been confirmed there is actually a poster inside the case. However, it's still not the map of the game world previous GTA games have shipped with. UK retailer The Game Collection has been able to confirm there's a double-sided A3 poster included in the case, as it plans to ship boxed versions later this week.

As the PS5 generation approaches its sixth year, talk of what comes next has been circulating for a while, and with hardware as pricey as it is, the prospect of a PS6 isn't as exciting as it perhaps should be. Opinion differs on that, of course, but it's generally accepted that Sony's next-gen machine is going to be eye-wateringly expensive, and it's currently anyone's guess as to whether it'll be worth a purchase.

The two Death Stranding games have been modest sellers since their launches, generating more sales than most AAA titles, but not on the same level as other console-defining experiences. According to official numbers, the first game sold over five million copies. Sales stats relating to the sequel have never been shared, but analyst estimates suggested 1.4 million units were sold during its first few days on the market. In the years since their releases, these totals will have only gone up.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D provides a remake of the first game in the series chronologically (despite the number in the title), and was a fantastic overhaul when it launched a couple of years ago. "With its quality of life additions and delightful 3D visuals, it's easy to argue that this is the adventure's definitive form — even if some of its structural weaknesses remain in place," we said at the time, awarding an 8/10 score.

Sony has today announced a new model of the PS Portal will be future-proofed with the addition of internal storage. The new version is launching on 10th December 2026 at the same price as the current model (¥39,980), but only in Japan. Just like the Japan-specific PS5 console Sony sells, this new PS Portal model can only be set to the Japanese language and use a PSN account from the Japan region.
