TheFlow spent months turning the PS5 into a Linux machine. On 15 September another researcher reported the hypervisor bug it depended on to Sony for a bounty. A day later, TheFlow walked away and torched the scene on his way out.

After selling out within hours on 10 September, both the black and white controllers are available again at $84.99. Resale listings are still asking up to double that for a pad nobody receives until 19 November.

Six days after Bloomberg reported Sony dropped Physint over budget and Death Stranding sales, Kojima took the Tokyo Game Show stage to announce its star. The project Sony revealed in 2024 now belongs to Xbox.

After years running as a PS4 game on PS5, Fallout 76 got its native version on 15 September. It targets 60fps with up to 1440p on PS5 and 4K on PS5 Pro, and every existing owner gets it free — including PS Plus Extra members.

Insomniac's Wolverine unlocked overnight. Here is the install size, what version 01.001.001 brings, why you do not need a PS5 Pro for 60fps ray tracing, and the best price on each edition.

From 5 to 8 October the store goes down for maintenance, then reopens pricing in dirhams and riyals. Wallet balances convert automatically, PS3 purchases end permanently, and child spending limits need setting up again.

Set 72306 is 1,911 pieces, $179.99, and hides a Gran Turismo racetrack and an Ape Escape scene inside the console. It goes on sale on 1 October for some buyers and 4 October for everyone else.

The Complete Edition lands 1 October at $69.99, with a $14.99 upgrade for existing owners. It brings a two-timeline expansion and a roguelike survival mode — and that mode is not the free update some coverage suggested.

Sony said the show would conclude with an extended look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation. It did. The game launches day one on Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC — and Sony promoted it as the headline act anyway.

Wolverine arrives 15 September with a $69.99 disc, a $79.99 Digital Deluxe sold only on PS Store, and — per Insomniac — no Collector's Edition at all. The upsell has no physical counterpart.

The Limited Edition DualSense arrives 19 November alongside GTA 6. The game's "physical" edition ships a week earlier, on 12 November, because there is nothing in the box that needs installing.

Sort every announcement from the State of Play by release date and the picture is stark: after Marvel's Wolverine, Sony's first-party 2026 is expansions and patches. The games are all 2027.
