As it was the go-to voice and text-chat platform for gamers the world over, it was rather surprising how long it took Sony to add Discord integration for the PlayStation 5. Initially, there wasn't a native Discord app you could use on the console, howeve, an update made it far easier to chat with friends straight from your console.

A player fishes in their local pond.

There are few cozy games as successful and beloved as Stardew Valley, so it's no wonder it has received regular updates since its 2016 release. If you're a fan of the game, you've no doubt been looking forward to its new 1.6 update, which brings some pretty substantial changes and bug fixes to improve the gameplay experience. Unfortunately for some players, the update has only released on PC so far, meaning console players have been left wondering when they'll get an opportunity to see all of the fresh changes in the game. Here's what we know so far about when the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is coming to consoles.

Can Concord make a comeback? There’s still hope for PS5’s failed shooter
A character wields a rocket launcher in Concord.

Only two weeks after launch, PlayStation made the shocking decision to shut down Concord. Firewalk Studios’ much-derided hero shooter had a disastrous launch, one that analysts estimated only 25,000 players picked up, according to IGN.

It’s possible that Concord will never return, or that it will become the video game industry’s next comeback story. I didn’t like what I played of Concord during its beta, but I understand that some players see the potential of this first-person shooter that found a middle ground between Destiny and Overwatch. There are steps Firewalk can take to give Concord a second chance at life, even if its fate is ultimately in the hands of players if it ever comes back.
