Sony has recently patented a groundbreaking technology that could change the way we experience video games. The concept of a ‘Ghost Player’ allows players to summon an AI-generated version of their character to assist them when they encounter challenging sections of a game. This innovative feature could either demonstrate the solution to a puzzle or complete the level entirely, offering a new layer of support for gamers who find themselves stuck.

As we kick off the new year, PlayStation Plus subscribers are in for a treat with an exciting lineup of free games for January 2026. This month features thrilling titles like Need For Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper, each offering unique gameplay experiences that cater to a variety of gaming preferences. Need For Speed Unbound takes players on a high-octane journey through the streets of Lakeshore, blending single and multiplayer modes for adrenaline-fueled racing.

Sony’s recent State of Play presentation showcased a thrilling lineup of 28 announcements, focusing on games developed in Japan and across Asia. With a runtime of 40 minutes, the event highlighted both major titles and indie gems, making it a must-watch for any gaming enthusiast. Among the standout reveals were the much-anticipated remakes and sequels, including the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and the return of the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series after a two-decade hiatus.

In a recent statement, Hermen Hulst, the head of PlayStation Studios, emphasized that Sony is taking a “thoughtful” and “measured” approach to porting its games to PC. This strategy is designed to balance the expansion of its audience while maintaining the value of the PS5 console. Unlike Xbox, which often releases games on both platforms simultaneously, Sony has opted for a more conservative timeline, typically waiting at least a year after the console release before launching PC versions of major titles like God of War Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2.

In an exciting announcement, PlayStation has revealed that a significant update for the DualSense controller is set to roll out later this year, allowing users to connect their controllers to multiple devices simultaneously. This enhancement is a game-changer for gamers who frequently switch between their PS5 and PC, eliminating the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting each time. The update, shared via PlayStation’s social media channels, promises to streamline the gaming experience for many users.
