The PlayStation 5 has streamlined many aspects of the gaming experience, but there's been a bit of confusion here and there in terms of navigating its menus and settings. Gameplay is great, but no one tells you how to use the PS5 web browser or how to customize your PS5 controller button layout.

One of the ways in which Sony's latest console can be a bit strange is in how it hides away your library of purchased games. No worries, though, as we'll tell you how to find all of your purchased PS5 games.

Why I kept coming back to Final Fantasy XIV in 2024

The MMO genre is overflowing with titles vying for the attention of anyone willing to invest significant portions of their time in a single game. There are no doubt plenty of killer choices you can make based on what type of combat, endgame, and payment model you prefer, ensuring that you'll almost certainly find one that fits you just right. I've been investing off and on in the genre for over two decades, with thousands of hours poured into everything from old, niche titles like Silkroad Online (which I just learned somehow still exists) to worldwide successes like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars.

In recent years, though, I find myself disappointed in various aspects of many popular MMOs, whether it's an overwhelming focus on endgame raiding, too much PVP-centric content, or unfriendly communities that make me cringe when I even glance at the chat. None of that is a problem when I return to Final Fantasy XIV. I somehow feel at peace each time I load up Square Enix's long-running MMO, and it's becoming harder and harder for me to want to venture elsewhere.

If you own a PS5 Pro, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the game to get during Cyber Week
A beastren in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of the most ambitious games to launch this year. While a wealth of technical problems held back that ambition when it was released, the experience is vastly improved on the PlayStation 5 Pro from Digital Trends' testing. As such, I highly recommend that PS5 Pro owners looking for games that take advantage of their new hardware pick up Dragon's Dogma 2 this Cyber Monday. While it typically retails at $70, Dragon's Dogma 2 is discounted to $46 on Amazon for Cyber Week.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is lighter on narrative than most other RPGs as it follows an Arisen on their quest to ultimately defeat a dragon that took their heart but did not kill them. Capcom took that approach because the true value of Dragon's Dogma 2 comes from all of the emergent moments that arise during its quest. This is a tough game, but its combat systems also feature a lot of eccentricities that make every battle feel different.

Meta Quest 3S or PSVR2? Which headset to buy during Cyber Week
The PlayStation VR2 sits on a table next to Sense controllers.

If you've always been curious about buying a VR headset, today is the day to pull the trigger. Cyber Week is still going strong, and it comes bearing deals on headsets. The most shocking price cut in the bunch is the PlayStation VR2. While it usually retails for a whopping $550 or $600 if you buy a Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle, you can get either version for $350 today. That's a wild deal that puts the headset at what it probably should have been in the first place, considering its competition.

But does a $250 price cut mean that it's the best headset to buy today, or is the Meta Quest 3S still worth it even with no deal? After all, these are both two of the best VR headsets you can buy right now.
