July Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices.

Grab those PlayStation Mobile goodies while you can

I was browsing through the PSM store just now, looking for any games I'd picked up but long since deleted to regrab before it closes in a couple of months (15 July). While checking if there was anything else worth picking up, I noticed quite a few free games there, and what's not to like about a free game.

The store opened two-and-a-half years ago, as Sony tried to ride the wave of Android games and bring some smaller games to the Vita. In that respect, it worked as there's a lot of content there, some great, some good and some amateur - but that was the point. However, Sony soon started to ignore it, dropped Android support and once it had grabbed a updates of the better games (Aqua Kitty, Rock Boshers, etc) for the main Vita store, all but gave up on it.

So, before this useful resource vanishes into Sony's desktop trash can, give the PSM store a visit, redownload your old titles, grab the free ones you can and pick up some of the goodies your missed. Many are less than a £1, so what's not to like. There's many more than my little lists, go check it out.
