DrDamn Sea of Remnants looked nice and interesting aesthetically … Hot Shots looking good and only £45 for pre-order on PSN… Pragmata still existing was also a surprise - I think this was a PS5 launch reveal initial?
Alex PS5 Pro getting a big software upgrade soon, replacing PSSR with a new algorithm developed between Sony and AMD, which will significantly improve framerates and image quality, and won’t be compatible with the base PS5’s hardware. https://www.tomsguide.com/gaming/playstation/sonys-mark-cerny-explains-why-your-ps5-pro-is-getting-an-upgrade-in-2026

DrDamn https://blog.playstation.com/2025/07/29/playstation-plus-monthly-games-for-august-lies-of-p-day-z-my-hero-ones-justice-2/ Lies of P is well worth a go if you like Souls-likes.

Unicorn Overlord is well worth a look if you like strategy games and enjoy tinkering with squad formations, unit types etc.
DrDamn Yeah there’s quite a bit there I will give a try. I’m intrigued by the nun game, that’s a bold pitch 😃 Also of note, Sword of the Sea - “From the visionary artist behind ABZÛ, The Pathless, and Journey”
Alex This game Cronos The New Dawn looks really good. It’s supposed to be out on PS5, but I can’t find it on the PlayStation store. 🤔 https://www.eurogamer.net/cronos-the-new-dawn-review
Jogort This bit will rule me out 🤣 "Plan Every Move In a desolate world filled with ever-present danger, your survival hinges on your ability to strategize and plan ahead. The enemies you’ll encounter are nightmarish creatures, born from the remnants of humanity – defeating them will require you to make full use of your arsenal. During battle, quick decisions can mean the difference between life and death."
DrDamn Alex I found it by searching in the app, then copying the link. App can be better to search on I find.

Jogort I liked the look of Saros, it did just give the impression of Returnal but amped up a notch or 2, which is no bad thing as Returnal was awesome.
Gordon If anyone is looking for PSN cash for the October flood of games, ShopTo are doing an extra 5% off with the checkout code PLAYTIME at the moment. Brings a £70 card down to £57ish
Jogort Was expecting this to arrive tomorrow, nice wee surprise. Everything has the 30th anniversary logos on it, even the charging cable 😅 A little surprised they didn’t do numbered units this time around though like they did for 20th anniversary.
Jogort But why oh why does it have an airplane mode 🤣 Gordon Yeah they do look good, I’ve spent far too much money on them but oh well. I’ve got a 20th & 30th.
