By Giovanni Colantonio January 12, 2021

According to the video, Bethesda’s Ghostwire: Tokyo is scheduled for an October release. The mysterious game is going to be a PS5 exclusive at launch despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda.

Square Enix’s Project Athia is scheduled for a 2022 launch. Details on the game are still mostly unknown, but it’s being developed by the same team that was behind Final Fantasy XV.

Several high profile indie games appear in the fine print as well. Stray, a game about a cat that surprised fans during a Sony State of Play event, is coming in October 2021. Solar Ash, the latest game from the developers behind Hyper Light Drifter, is coming in June 2021. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is coming this March, while Little Devil Inside launches in July.

The video confirmed some big delays as well. The text notes that Capcom’s sci-fi game Pragmata is scheduled for 2023, despite originally being slated as a 2022 game.

Curiously, Ratchet & Clank: Drift Apart only receives a vague 2021 launch window in the text. In a similar bit of video fine print last year, Sony said the game was anticipated to launch in the first half of 2021. The change in language could indicate that the game is delayed.

How to connect Bluetooth headphones to a PS5

montblanc mb01 headphones review 7

While the PS5 does indeed have Bluetooth built-in, there is little native support for headphones or other audio products; Bluetooth on the PS5 has been included primarily for connecting wireless keyboards and mice, as well as approved Sony products. Don’t fret, though: there is a way to connect your headset to your game console, and it’s relatively easy—assuming you're willing to buy a Bluetooth transmitter.

Once you have the Bluetooth transmitter, you're a few easy steps away from connecting Bluetooth headphones to your PS5 . Read on as we describe the pairing process in detail.

How to use an external hard drive on PS5

Two versions of the PS5 side by side.

The PlayStation 5 is a remarkable system, but it doesn't come with much storage space. Breaking from the 1TB the Xbox Series X offers, the PS5 only offers 825GB. Worse, after accounting for the storage space the PS5 takes up by default, users are left with just over 650GB of space. Thankfully, you can use external storage to expand your space, and in this guide, we're going to show you how to use an external hard drive on PS5.
How to use an external HDD or SSD on PS5

Before you can use an external hard drive on PS5, you need to make sure it's compatible. It doesn't matter if your external drive is a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD), you can use it on PS5 as long as it uses USB 3.0 or later. USB 2.0 external hard drives won't work. Because they won't work, you'll need to connect your external hard drive to one of the two USB-A ports on the back of the PS5. The USB-A port on the front is only rated for USB 2.0, so it won't work. Also, plug the drive directly into a console (don't use a USB hub or extension cable).
