    New PlayStation Portal Model/Revision Certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance

    A Wi-Fi Alliance certification lists new PlayStation Portal model numbers CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105, possibly the EU version, alongside existing models CFI-Y1000, CFI-Y1001 and CFI-Y1016. The 2XXX numbering suggests a significant revision, possibly the OLED model Kepler_L2 mentioned earlier this year, or a battery revision to make battery replacement easier.

    Asked at a Q&A session at Gamergy in Puerto Rico whether he would return as Nathan Drake in a new Uncharted game, Nolan North said "110 per cent. Absolutely," adding it just depends if Sony wants to make money. He said he hasn't heard anything about a new entry, but keeps in shape just in case. Rumours suggest a new game would focus on Nate's daughter Cassie Drake with her father in a supporting role, reportedly led by Uncharted: The Lost Legacy director Shaun Escayg.

    Sony Patent Would Let an AI Model Train NPCs Based on Your Player Data

    Sony has filed a patent titled "AI-adapted non-player character for video game system" that would use data generated by players to modify NPCs, from their design to their behavior in a boss fight, in order to make them more lifelike without further bloating development time and budgets. There is no guarantee the system will reach a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 6, and Sony has recently patented other ideas including AI that detects console problems and delivers patches, plus a controller with an NFC card reader.

    PS5 influencer RealRadec has regained access to his hacked account, admitting his issue was resolved quickly because of his reach, which most consumers lack.

    The PlayStation 5's Operating System Can Now Be Emulated on PC

    The PlayStation 5's operating system can now be emulated on PC, with user VinasExplosao showing video evidence of the PS5's VSH menu running on PC. This is not a kernel-level port and is closer to emulation, so it does not mean PS5 games can run natively on PC. The RPCSX emulator team says booting VSH on PS4 and PS5 firmware has been feasible since early 2026.

    Former PlayStation Boss Shawn Layden Questions Sony's Decision to Kill Discs

    Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden questioned Sony's decision to phase out PlayStation discs starting in 2028 on The Expansion Pass podcast. He said digital downloads are more convenient but argued the minority who still buy discs are often the most loyal customers, and that the real issue is ownership. He added that players tend to imagine the worst case, which carries a brand and reputation cost for Sony.

    GameStop Lists Used PS5 Pros at $1,400, Preparing Shoppers for Next-Gen Pricing

    GameStop is now listing pre-owned PS5 Pros at $1,400, or $1,330 for Pro members, a $500 surcharge over a brand-new console amid current stock constraints. Sony raised prices for the PS5, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation Portal in April, with the PS5 Pro moving from $750 to $900 after launching at $700 in November 2024. The Xbox lineup also saw another round of price hikes in August, with the cheapest option being an Xbox Series S at $500.

    Two Major PS4 Games Are Free to Claim in Europe Right Now, No PS Plus Required

    Mafia 3 and all of its DLC are currently free to claim on the PS Store in several European countries with no PS Plus required, and Call of Duty: WWII is also available at no cost, which Push Square has corroborated. In the US, Mafia 3 still shows at $29.99 and Call of Duty: WWII at $59.99, and it is unclear whether the free offer is an error that will be revoked.

    GameStop and Third-Party Resellers Raise Used PS5 Pro Price to $1,400

    GameStop and third-party resellers on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart have raised used PS5 Pro prices to as much as $1,400, a $500 markup over Sony's suggested retail price. GameStop's website listed an all-digital PS5 Pro at $1,399 this morning after rumors the night before. The piece attributes the rise to strong demand for the premium console, whose price went from $750 to $900 earlier this year, with GTA 6's release expected to add pressure and component shortages possibly limiting supply. IGN gave the PS5 Pro a 7/10 in 2024 and called its launch price a hard sell.

    GameStop has updated the price of a standard used PS5 Pro on its website to $1,400, above the $900 suggested retail price for a new unit. A message reportedly sent by GameStop to stores and leaked on Reddit said several pre-owned PS5 Pro variants would be priced at $1,400 to $1,500, calling the move intentional.

    GameStop to price used PS5 Pros up to $1,500, calling the increase intentional

    According to a verified Reddit post, GameStop will charge up to $1,500 for used PS5 Pros, with digital units at up to $1,399.99 and disc-drive units at up to $1,499.99. The original correspondence mentions 16th October as the date for the hike, but the retailer's official website already reflects the change. In a leaked message, the retailer said the pre-owned console having a higher price than the new console is intentional, amid light PS5 Pro supply and rising demand ahead of GTA 6.

    PS5 jailbreaks escalate across firmware v7.00 to v13.60, putting pressure on Sony

    PS5 jailbreaking has accelerated sharply over the past week, with a new jailbreak working on firmware v7.00 through v13.60; v13.60 shipped in July, so most consoles not on the latest system software are affected. Using AI tools, modders have installed emulators ranging from Switch to the original Xbox on the console, though performance is patchy, while PC emulation of PS5 is also advancing and several exclusives such as Demon's Souls can now run on PC. The rush has also driven up used hardware prices, with GameStop charging up to $1,500 for a used PS5 Pro.
