Sony had some great games come to PS4 in 2018, but how good--or bad--a year has it been for the PlayStation platform more broadly?
Time to gear up and save the day as the latest DLC for The Division 2 is here.
PS Blog - "From May 28 to June 11, take part in player activities, bonus PlayStation Plus content, exciting offers, and more."
Overall great deals for everyone I guess.
For me personally though:
• "players who join PlayStation Plus during this year’s celebration can save up to 33% on select 12-month memberships."
• "players who are currently a PlayStation Plus Essential or Extra member, save 33% on the remainder of your membership when upgrading to PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe."
Ehhh ... Days of Play last until 11th. My subscription expires June, 14th.
I literally am laughing at me rn.
If Sony allowed subscriptions to be sold by third party sellers like they did in the PS4 days, you would not have this problem.
That's why everyone should get their subscriptions now as last years days of play was may 29 to 12th of june. Mine is expiring on the 7th so i will just get essential or possibly extra this year.
And you can atleast get 15 days of extra or premium at 33% off to try it out.
You used to be able to stack you Sub with these deals it would be good to do this as I'm not paying 214 for deluxe again
This shows how game pass is eating ps plus lunch…..they’re lowering the price and the crazy thing is the premium tier is worse than the tier below it lol
Will see about getting my kid a cheaper PS Plus sub so he can backup and transfer his saves again. Really wish that was free ala XB.
Hopefully Destiny 2 The Final Shape comes with a free gear level upgrade like last year’s PS Plus offering. To bring you up to speed with all the content and everyone else. I still need to do a Nightfall Strike on Grandmaster difficulty, but ain’t got time to grind.
More like Days of Meh.... no specialized controllers or systems like in 2018 and 2019.
I mean it feels like you are forcing yourself to be negative here. Those are some really decent deals tbh. Also, everyone thought PS5 would go up to match Xbox so going down is a nice surprise too.
If you really beleived what you are saying why do you have to keep making alts to say it?
None of those deals are of any great consequence to me. I was hoping they would bring back the special themed hardware after a 5 year break. They had it in 2018 and 19 and nothing for 20-24. 25 could have been the year to bring it back.
To be clear, what are you referring to when you say 'specialized'? Just wanted to know if you had a different take on these controller and system deals.

Both DoP 2018 and 19 had special themed PS4 slim. I have both and while they did not do them again in 20-24.... I was hoping they would bring it back in 25 with a special themed PS5 slim or even Pro.
This is their way to counter Nintendo Switch 2 launch week. I might get the discounted annual premium subs, but I think the game lineup is weak.
That games lineup is huge. It’s got new games on there and really good ones like Tekken 8. The PlayStation 5 being cheaper than the switch 2 is a counter in and of itself. Early adopters are early adopters. It will sell well, but not as good as the original switch. Not with that price and a far more capable machine with real online available for less. I think old Reggie said it best. Nintendo thrived on innovation and pushing new ideas. Not just rereleasing better versions of what it already had. The Wii was a massive success. The Wii U…. The 3DS was a big success, the DS XL… The switch huge success. The switch 2….. we will see.
Starfield features aliens known as Terrormorphs that are key to the UC Vanguard questline, and they're similar to Deathclaws in all but one aspect.
No one gives a crap about Starfield in 2025. I mean seriously, has anyone remembered this game even exists? Lmao
Indeed it is. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely keep it up momentum.
500M consoles sold
Success with God of War
Success of Spiderman
Detroit should have had more attention. It’s analogies were a bit ‘on the nose’.
Shadow of The Colossus was ‘perfect’ for a remaster.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a cool weird new Japanese game.
Misteps: Castlevania: Reqium
PSVR has been really strong at the end of the year, sony hasn’t been making that big of a deal about the great games coming out for PSVR.
Sony has been maintaining its services. PS+ games have been good for the year. It hasn’t felt bad..
PS Classic has numerous issues. Runs like crap. Games on it were a misstep.
E3 was odd/mediocre.. clear they didn’t have much to show.. Ghost of Tsushima and flute guy was epic.
Sony was a no show at so many events.
Leaving E3 2019 is a big story. What do they have going for next year?
Sony appears to be listening to its core fanbase again.
500 million? Wow 😳
I think the year speaks for itself. Surge in console sales with every major release, including that from 3rd party with RDR, and the typical holiday system sellers. Great sales all around, and regardless of what you may think of the platform, and even if you dislike every PS exclusive, the whole year was great for gamers, as there were a lot of quality releases.
Can’t wait for Tsushima.
