Sony revealed new details about Destruction AllStars, including how the multiplayer, vehicular combat game works, and how much it’ll cost.

Developed by Lucid, Destruction AllStars will cost $70, adding to the list of next-generation games getting a $10 price jump from the standard $60. In a blog post, Sony also announced a digital deluxe edition that will cost $80. The deluxe version includes cosmetic items like skins, emotes, and an in-game currency used to customize vehicles.

The game sounds like a mix between Twisted Metal and OnRush. Players choose one of 16 different characters and enter an arena where the goal is to smash other cars. When a player’s car is wrecked, they play as the driver, who can use parkour abilities and lure cars into traps.

Characters and cars have unique abilities that can be used in battle, which charge up like ultimate abilities in a game like Overwatch. Characters get abilities like invisibility or invulnerability, while vehicles can activate special weapons, shields, and buffs. Arenas are built with both vehicle and on-foot mobility in mind, and feature suspended platforms that players can vault up to. The game features both solo and team modes, with Sony saying that more modes and features will be added after launch. New updates will be free to all players.

The blog post emphasizes cosmetics as a major part of the game and features an in-game currency earned by playing games online. Sony didn’t specify whether or not the currency can be bought with real money as well.

Destruction AllStars was first shown back at Sony’s Future of Gaming live stream in July. Since then, the company has been silent about the game, even after announcing it as a PlayStation 5 launch exclusive earlier this month.

PlayStation VR2 production reportedly paused by Sony

Sony is reportedly pausing production of the PlayStation VR2 headsets because it has a backlog of unsold headsets.

This report comes from Bloomberg, which claims that PSVR2 sales have slowed every quarter since its February 2023 release, causing stocks of the device to build up. It says Sony has produced 2 million headsets but reportedly hasn't sold through them yet. As a result, it's apparently pausing the production on new units until it works through some of that backlog, according to Bloomberg's anonymous sources.

Does PlayStation 5 have a web browser?

Sony added a bunch of great functionality to PS5, but one thing that's missing is a web browser. Unlike its predecessor, PS4, there's not a standard web browser you can access from your home screen. That's a bit of a letdown, as it feels like a huge step back from what was available years ago.

Thankfully, all is not lost. With a little elbow grease and a lot of ingenuity, you can access a web browser on PS5. The process is quite convoluted, and it's not the most user-friendly browser, but it's possible to surf the web on your fancy new-gen console.
