Uncharted 4 is getting its own PS4 this April

Add as a preferred source on Google

It seemed inevitable, given the popularity of the flagship PlayStation franchise, but it has now been confirmed that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will also launch with its own limited edition PlayStation 4 console. Unlike some other limited edition consoles, however, this one looks like it actually might be worth picking up.

The Uncharted 4 PlayStation 4 and its special DualShock 4 controller are both a color that Sony’s John Koller refers to as “Gray Blue,” and it oozes class that a picture of Darth Vader slapped on the side simply cannot. The lettering on the console, as well as the PlayStation logo, is done in a crisp gold. Koller adds that the console also bears the phrase “SIC PARVIS MAGNA,” which is visible on the front of the system near the disc drive.

While the console included in the limited edition is still only the 500 GB model, Sony opted to include a physical version of Uncharted 4 instead of the download codes that have become so prevalent with special console bundles. Given the gigantic file size of current AAA games, this should let you get to adventuring a little bit faster.

Of course, if you already have a PlayStation 4 and want to shell out a little extra cash for some goodies to put on your shelf, there are two different collector’s editions of the game available. The Special Edition will set you back $80 and includes an art book and sticker sheet in its steelbook case, while the Libertalia Collector’s Edition throws in a gorgeous Nathan Drake statue for an additional $40. If you just want to get your hands on the Uncharted controller, Sony will be selling it in March, before the game’s release date, along with a special version of its wireless headset.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End launches exclusively for PlayStation 4 on April 26.

Old PS2 discs can now launch games on a jailbroken PS5 through a new homebrew feature. Developer Sword has added disc autoplay to PS5SX2, a PS2 emulator that copies an inserted game to storage before running it on the newer console.

The feature arrived in version 2.01 as a beta. At release, disc autoplay had been tested on just one original-model PS5. There’s a working starting point here, but results across other setups remain uncertain.

Google’s older Pixels may have just become far better retro gaming machines
Google Pixel 11 Pro Review Zenless Zone Zero

I've spent enough time trying to turn Android phones into game consoles to know that raw horsepower only gets you so far. On the Red Magic 11S Pro, I've tested console emulation alongside Android games and eventually pushed things much further by getting the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running locally through GameHub.

While all of this was possible thanks to powerful Snapdragon hardware, there's another reason Qualcomm-equipped Android devices have traditionally been particularly attractive to emulator enthusiasts. Adreno, the GPU that powers these devices, have access to custom graphics drivers such as Turnip. So phones using ARM's Mali GPUs haven't had the same advantage. But now, ARMSX2 2.8.3 is finally changing that.

Aion 2’s naughty character customization is the least interesting thing about it
It has surprisingly good combat and flying, but its monetization is much harder to defend.
Aion 2 cutscene screencap

I’m not a big fan of MMORPGs, but Aion 2’s rise to the top of the Steam charts with over 400,000 concurrent players was enough to pique my interest. Yes, the game has a breast size slider, and no, I don’t think it’s a big deal when it sits among some 200 other customization options in one of the deepest character creators I have ever seen. And yeah, the options run deeper than Cyberpunk 2077. Yet most discussions online barely mention the game itself.

It's as if most critics never made it past that menu.
