By the time Sony takes the stage at E3, we’ll be in the thick of the E3 festivities. Sony’s conference is the third and final one on Monday, June 11, but it promises to be well worth the wait. If you’re looking for a fun way to watch Sony’s press event, we’re streaming it right here with instant reactions, and we’d like you to join us for the fun!

Whether you’re watching the conference by yourself or already have watch-party plans, you can also stream Sony’s show on PlayStationYouTube, Twitch, and Facebook.

What should we expect from Sony this year at E3? We have a full expectations post for Sony’s press conference that you can read to get the full picture, but the biggest thing is probably what not to expect. If you were hoping Sony would unveil the next PlayStation console, that isn’t going to happen. However, if you’re a PlayStation fan, you’ll definitely want to tune in, as Sony will focus most of its attention on a handful of highly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusives.

Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II will be on display, hopefully with some gameplay footage. We’ll also get our latest trip to the bizarre and endlessly intriguing world of Death Stranding, the enigmatic project from Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima. Sucker Punch’s samurai open-world game Ghost of Tsushima will also be on display. Rounding out the big four Sony confirmed for the show is Insomniac’s Spider-Man, which launches on September 7.

Sony will likely show other games, but with a slate of pre-E3 mini-streams leading up to the conference, don’t be surprised if Sony’s press event is mostly filled with looks at the aforementioned four games. Either way, it certainly promises to be a great time.

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
