"Video games based on films provide fans an opportunity to enhance their movie experience by reliving the action firsthand. That trend continues this holiday season with recent releases of video games based on films such as Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and James Cameron's Avatar. By examining households from Nielsen's Homescan consumer panel that purchased at least one movie-based game over the past two years, we gain some insight into the types of consumers these products resonate with the most, and how these celluloid gamers compare to the average consumer of home entertainment and video games."

You can clear your wanted levels in Star Wars Outlaws by defeating the death troopers.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 has received a substantial visual upgrade, and we've put together a comparison that shows the improvements.
Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?
This has GP rental written all over it.
It appears Sony is making changes to the PSN backend in order to pave the way for future cross-platform releases across PC and PS5.
If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.
If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.
Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.
PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.
First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.
This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.
