If you’ve been debating whether to pay for a Playstation Plus subscription, Sony has sweetened the deal by offering up some vicious, man-eating dinosaurs to new subscribers.

Announced via the official Playstation Blog, any one-year subscriptions purchased between November 1-8 (priced at $49.99) will receive all four episodes of Jurassic Park: The Game when it’s released November 15. The complete series of Telltale Games’ dinosaur-filled adventure game would cost $29.99 normally.

Current Playstation Plus subscribers don’t have to feel left out, as they can renew their subscription before November 8 to receive Jurassic Park.

If you already have a Playstation Plus subscription card, you’ll need to redeem it before November 8 in order to be eligible for the deal.

To build a PS5 controller for anyone, Sony had to reinvent the wheel

When Sony took the stage at CES 2023, PlayStation fans didn’t know what to expect. The company had a history of using the tech expo to showcase new gaming hardware, like the PlayStation VR2, but its plans for the show aren’t ones that tend to leak beforehand. Left in the dark, eager PlayStation fans tuned in to the CES live broadcast to see what the future of PlayStation might hold.

But nobody expected a UFO to touch down on stage.

You’ll finally be able to play Half-Life: Alyx on PlayStation VR2 this summer

Sony has finally unveiled its PC adapter for PlayStation VR2, which will be released this August and finally enable players to try games like Half-Life: Alyx with the headset.

PSVR2 sports some impressive tech, but it's no secret that Sony has failed to support it with compelling games for the PS5. Earlier this year, it was teased that Sony was working on PC compatibility for the headset; now, we've learned that this will come in the form of a PC adapter that people can use with a DisplayPort 1.4 cable in order to play VR games through Steam. These are the minimum specs your PC will need in order to get the PSVR2 up and running, straight from the PlayStation Blog.

Sony just put one final nail in the PlayStation VR2’s coffin

PlayStation VR2 has been murdered. The culprit: Astro Bot.

My favorite announcement of Sony's May 30 State of Play was Astro Bot, a new 3D platformer from Team Asobi that celebrates PlayStation history. It looks incredibly charming and stands out from the typical narrative-action games like Stellar Blade that Sony tends to release these days. That said, my excitement also comes with disappointment as it does not appear that the game will support PlayStation VR2. (Digital Trends reached out to Sony to confirm that was the case but has not gotten a response at the time of publishing this story.)
