Buy certain new games and $10 of Wallet Credit lands on your account straight away — for some players. Sony hasn't announced it, availability looks patchy, and it may be the replacement for PlayStation Stars.

Every jailbreak news cycle is followed by a wave of faked trophy data. Here is what it costs you — with Sony, and here — and why a spoofed platinum is the least rewarding thing you can do with a modified console.

The PSVR2 shooter becomes permanently unplayable on 17 September. It is already delisted, and the studio that made it closed three years ago. If you own it, there is nothing left to salvage.

Sony has opened a Tokyo Game Show membership promotion running 17–30 September. New members save up to 25% on a 12-month plan, and existing members get a discount on upgrading. It is Southeast Asia only.
