PlayStation 5 Celebrates 5-Year Anniversary | PSX Extreme

On this day in 2020, the PlayStation 5 debuted to start the latest generation of PlayStation gaming. Only two days following the November 10 launch of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S consoles, the PS5 launch also came at a time when the world was plunged into the first months of arguably the worst global pandemic since the Spanish Flu of 1918.

A Flashback At All The Astro Bot Games From 2013 To 2024 | PSX Extreme

Astro Bot (PS5) Review

Just when it seems like companies outside of Nintendo (and maybe Sega as an extension) are too knee-deep in making the usual AAA story-driven games, one new-ish IP shows that the industry still has room for Nintendo-esc first party platformers.
