The retailer didn’t mention what time pre-orders will go live for the console or how limited availability will be.

Pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 went live last week in chaotic fashion. Retailers opened pre-orders without prior warning, causing consoles to sell out in minutes.

GameStop had an especially rough time, with the site experiencing errors due to traffic and mistakenly telling users they had been banned from the website.

For Xbox Series X and Series S pre-orders, GameStop implemented a more organized digital queue system, though the site still encountered errors. It’s likely that the same system could be implemented for the second round of PlayStation 5 pre-orders.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc

Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung has a new breed of OBLYX OLED panels and they should appear on your gaming laptops soon

Samsung's new OBLYX brand is all about OLED gaming laptops

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer made a Cinnamoroll headset, and it is aggressively adorable

Razer launches a Cinnamoroll Edition Kraken Kitty V2 BT headset

Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamonroll themed gaming headphones

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
