Australian Rules Football, Australia’s favourite sport, is a contact sport played between two teams of 18 players, where they chase a ball on a cricket oval, and score goals by kicking the ball between two gigantic posts. For many, Aussie Rules sounds like a completely made-up sport – and that’s where our game comes in: we redefine the rules of Aussie Rules Football.

Welcome to Pro Jank Footy, launching August 12 on PlayStation 5.

I’m David Ashby, Creative Director for Pro Jank Footy, a love letter to Aussie Rules Footy, retro sports games of the 90s, and our cultural irreverence. Now, there have been many “Footy” games over the years, but there was never one that leaned into the high-energy arcade sensibility shared by titles such as NBA Jam or NHL ‘94. We leaned right into both the fun and absurdity of our sport and I’m excited to share more about it with the PlayStation Community.

The “jank”

Aussie Rules Footy is a high-scoring game, akin to basketball and hockey, which makes it fast by design, which allows us to implement a simple core mechanic whereby whenever a player scores a goal, the opponent gets to choose one of three random power-ups. This is how we put the jank in Pro Jank Footy.

There are over 150 power-ups in the game. These powers range from making your team better, making the opposition team worse, or changing the rules of the game. Not only does this allow players to bounce back, but it also allows players to change the game from retro sports into pure, unhinged, janky chaos. Personally, I suck at sports games. There’s nothing worse than just sitting there, taking an absolute belting. With our power system, you’re rewarded for losing. Tyler Roach, who co-created this game with me, is a genuinely dominant player (and to be fair, he did make the game). When we play each other, my only tactic is to concede a bunch of goals so I can get a decent power-up build to turn the tide (note: he still beats me most of the time).

Hi, I’m Emil Esov from Saber Interactive, and we are excited to have Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival coming to PlayStation 5 on October 8, 2026! The team has been hard at work over the past 4+ years creating a game that brings life to Clive Barker’s unique style of horror and we’ve got the first look at an exclusive behind-the-scenes developer diary to share with you that covers what building this game has been like for us:

Play Video

Hellraiser separates itself from other pieces of horror media by having villains, the Cenobites, who aren’t so easily viewed as being morally bad. As the Hell Priest (aka Pinhead) explains in the original Hellraiser movie, they are “Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some, angels to others”. We like to think of them as monks – whether it comes to extreme pain or pleasure, they are interested in exploring sensations and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. 

Your Hellraiser: Revival experience will come from the perspective of Aidan Lynch, our story’s protagonist. He first encounters the Cenobites after his girlfriend Sunny activates the Genesis Configuration, a mysterious puzzle box with unknown power and purpose. The Cenobites appear and unceremoniously tear Sunny in half. At first this seems like some kind of fever dream to Aidan, but he quickly comes to learn that Sunny’s soul can still be saved and that the Cenobites are integral to accomplishing that goal.

While Cenobites exist as godlike explorers of experience from another realm, there are people in the real world who are seeking that same kind of enlightenment. This is where one of the groups of enemies that you’ll face in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival come in… the members of the Scarlet Church. Led by a charismatic figure named Marlowe, this cult is working to establish contact with the Cenobites and seeks to use the Genesis Configuration in order to create a debauched paradise for themselves.

Arknights: Endfield will support upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PlayStation 5 Pro as part of the Version 1.4 update. Designed to take advantage of the latest PS5 Pro enhancements, the upgraded PSSR delivers sharper image quality, improved temporal stability, and smoother performance as you explore Endfield’s expansive sci-fi world.

Sharper character detail

With the upgraded PSSR enabled on PS5 Pro, character outfits and material textures appear noticeably sharper. Fine costume details, layered materials, and surface textures retain greater definition, allowing the game’s distinctive character designs to stand out with improved clarity throughout exploration, combat, and story scenes.

Greater clarity for Endfield’s stylized world

Arknights: Endfield’s stylized environments also benefit from the upgraded PSSR. Lush vegetation, sprawling industrial facilities, and the wildlife peacefully inhabiting natural environments all maintain stable, crisp detail, making exploration across the game’s diverse maps even more immersive.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, launching October 23, developer Infinity Ward is amping up the Multiplayer experience with Kill Block, an adaptive live-fire training environment where modular battlegrounds reconfigure before every match, creating hundreds of unique configurations. Let’s take a closer look.

Introducing Kill Block

Deploy to the West Bridge Training Facility in Kill Block, a new dynamic combat space where sightlines, pathways, and cover objects shift between matches, forcing Operators to adapt in real time. Launching with both 3v3 Gunfight and the all new 10v10 Gunfight mode, Kill Block will offer over 500 possible configurations.

The building blocks

The West Bridge Training facility is an unrivaled example of military engineering, a self-contained compound featuring an array of concrete towers, electronics, motors, and pulley systems allowing regular reconfigurations of the map as various pieces, or “Slabs,” are moved around dictating the overall layout for the next deployment.

The core design for Kill Block is based on three modular sections, including two outer End Slabs attached to a Central Slab, that combine into new battlegrounds between matches and even after certain Gunfight rounds. Most of these sections are brand-new while others are inspired by iconic locations from the Modern Warfare series such as Crash, Storage Town, Shoot House, and others.

Each Slab is rectangular in shape, and when all three Slabs are connected a play space roughly the size of Shoot House from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is created. To quicken your intake of the environment, look for section markers around the perimeter and spray-painted signs helping to orient your position in the map.

Learn the layout and adapt when it changes… or die trying.

Play it your way

No matter your playstyle, there’s room for it on Kill Block as the changing layout offers creative challenges with variations on vertical positioning, sightlines, flank routes, and more. For example, in one match you may be fighting within close-quarters trenches, while in the next you’re firing downrange across rooftops, or some mixture of the two. Luckily, with Modern Warfare 4’s refined and fluid movement mechanics, improved player agency, and tactical decision-making, there are countless ways to approach the field, no matter its form.

Shifting weather patterns

It’s not just the terrain that changes, but the weather, too. Some Slabs are fitted with military-grade weather simulation arrays outfitted with powerful fans to propel rainfall and snow flurries across the map. Weapons are additionally affected by the weather, with water and ice particles building up on the weapon until you swap armaments or reload.

Suit up, Rangers! Pre-registration for Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is now open worldwide on the App Store and Google Play. To celebrate, we’re launching a community rewards campaign, headlined by a reward we think Ratchet & Clank fans will especially love: the exclusive Clank Suit skin for Widget.

Since the game’s reveal a few months ago, we’ve been testing and refining the experience through regional soft launches in Canada, the Nordics, France, and Asia. After a successful testing phase shaped by player feedback, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is now gearing up for global launch, and pre-registration is the first step on that journey. We can’t wait for what’s coming next!

What is Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble?

Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is a free-to-play multiplayer hero shooter that brings the iconic franchise to mobile, developed by Oh Bibi in collaboration with PlayStation Studios and Insomniac Games. Captain Qwark has created a revolutionary combat Simulation to find the next generation of Galactic Rangers. But, well… it’s Qwark. So once you step into the Arena, anything can happen.

Players choose from legendary heroes, master unique abilities, and unleash an arsenal of explosive weapons in real-time PvP arena battles, enhanced by dynamic PvE elements that add depth and variety to every match.

The hero lineup is something we’re especially proud of. With 12 Heroes available at launch, and more to come, each character brings a fresh new perspective to the Ratchet & Clank universe.

Players will discover brand-new characters never seen before in the series: legendary heroes from the past, each with their own story and personality. From robots, aliens to new Lombaxes, every hero has a unique playstyle, design, and exclusive cosmetics.

For Oh Bibi, it was a real privilege to collaborate directly with Insomniac Games on the design and backstories of the new Lombaxes, including insights from some of the original developers and designers behind the series’ most iconic titles. Bringing these characters to life inside the Simulation has been a true passion project for the creative team, and we can’t wait for players to meet them.

At launch, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble features six distinct game modes, giving players plenty of ways to jump into the action. Squad up with friends in fast-paced team PvP battles, take on waves of enemies in PvE, or discover fresh twists to the license, including a battle royale-inspired mode and a football-inspired showdown where every goal comes with a little extra firepower (and yes, it’s football, not soccer!).

Whether you’re chasing competitive wins, looking for co-op chaos, or simply excited to experience the Ratchet & Clank universe in a brand-new way, there’s a Rumble for you. Every mode is built around the fast, inventive, over-the-top action that has always defined the series.

Tomorrow, Moss: The Forgotten Relic arrives on PlayStation 5.

For many players, this will be their very first venture into the world of Moss. For others, it’s a chance to return to a place that has stayed with them long after the credits rolled. Either way, we’re incredibly excited to finally share our handcrafted adventure, Moss: The Forgotten Relic with everyone.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is a reimagined collection that brings Moss, Moss: Book II, and the Twilight Garden expansion together into one handcrafted fantasy adventure for PlayStation 5, without the requirement of a VR headset. We hope returning players enjoy seeing Quill’s world in a new light, and we can’t wait to welcome all of you who are just now meeting her. 

We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by sharing our launch trailer, giving you a glimpse of the adventure, danger, and heart that define Quill’s journey.

Play Video

When we first started working on Moss, we wanted to build a nostalgic fantasy adventure inspired by the classic stories and games we grew up with, all centered around one question we had never seen explored before:

What if the hero of the story could see you? What if they needed you?

That idea shaped every decision we made. Every environmental diorama was handcrafted to feel like a page from a living storybook. Every puzzle, encounter, and personal moment was designed to strengthen the bond between the player and our hero, Quill. 

We wanted players to feel protective of Quill, but just as importantly, inspired by her determination.
