    Kingdom Hearts PS5 Collection Pulls Back Platinum Trophies, Disappointing Fans

    Fans have spotted that the upcoming Kingdom Hearts Collection I~III re-release on PS5 only offers three Platinums, for Kingdom Hearts 1, Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts 3. The PS4 bundles also included Platinums for Kingdom Hearts 2, Birth by Sleep, and Re:Chain of Memories. The limitation stems from Sony's PS5 Trophy system, which prevents bundles from including multiple Platinums per list.

    Sony brings AI upscaling to the base PS5 with QSSR; Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Yōtei are first to use it

    Sony Interactive Entertainment introduced Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), an AI upscaling technology for the base PlayStation 5, developed through its AI graphics collaboration with AMD. PSSR remains exclusive to the PS5 Pro, which SIE calls the gold standard. The first titles to implement QSSR are Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine and Sucker Punch Productions' Ghost of Yōtei, and SIE's Daniel Craig told Digital Foundry it is essentially a drop-in replacement for titles already supporting PSSR, though tuning settings takes a few days.

    Ex-PlayStation Boss: Xbox Either Needs To Be A Top-Tier Platform Or Publisher — 'Pick A Lane'

    Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden said on The Expansion Pass podcast that Xbox needs to pick a lane: either be a platform competitive with PlayStation, or be the biggest publisher in the world with Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard. He argued you can't be successful at both, since a platform needs exclusives while the biggest publisher has to be on every platform, calling it Xbox's Dreamcast moment.
