Read our full Destiny review.

Devoted fans may recall that during last week’s PlayStation E3 Presentation, Sony VP Adam Boyes mentioned that Bungie’s upcoming shooter Destiny will come with a raft of exclusive content for gamers on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Now that the trade show hubbub has died down a bit, the PlayStation Blog has finally shared some particulars of what that content will actually look like.

For the gear-heads among you (which–let’s be real–is all of you), Sony-loyal guardians will be treated to an exclusive set of armor for each class: the Manifold Seeker for Warlocks, Vanir for Titans, and Argus for Hunters. Two special weapons will also be available: the Monte Carlo, an assault rifle designed for nasty, close-range combat, and the intricately-etched Hawkmoon hand cannon for extra style points. Lastly three new ships will be available for piloting: the Aurora Wake, Crypt Hammer, and Outrageous Fortune, geared towards Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters, respectively.

You will be able to test the new swag out in an exclusive co-op Strike in the dilapidated Dust Palace skyscraper, among the dunes of Mars, wherein you and two companions track a Cabal extraction team and square off against sinister Psion Flayers. The Exodus Blue Competitive Multiplayer Map is a mid-sized Crucible arena perfect for Control and Skirmish matches set on the long-defunct ship Exodus Blue.

Destiny is set for release on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC on September 9, 2014.

PlayStation Days of Play sale: the best deals that you don’t want to miss

Cloud,. Aerith, and Tifa stand together in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

It's summer, which means it's time to stock up on video games. Thankfully, you'll have a lot of chances to do that without breaking the bank this year as June tends to be a big month for game sales. Sony is kicking off that trend a few days early with its annual Days of Play sale, which offers some major discounts on everything from recent hits to new releases.

This year's sale includes over 900 games, and there are a lot of great options. Of course, who wants to spend time scrolling through 39 pages of discounts? I'm here to help save you the trouble so you can spend more time gaming. I combed through every deal and picked out eight in particular that stand out. These range from fairly new releases to under-the-radar games that are a steal. If you don't already own these games, consider picking them all up. It'll cost you less than $200 to do so!

PlayStation State of Play, May 2024: How to watch and what to expect

Key art for Until Dawn's remake.

Sony is off to a fairly strong start in 2024, with games like The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Rise of the Ronin, and Stellar Blade, but the PS5's lineup for the back half of the year is still shrouded in mystery. Thankfully, a new State of Play stream is imminent. We're hoping that the 30-minute presentation gives us a new look at Until Dawn's remake and Firewalk Studios' multiplayer game Concord, as well as some surprises.

Although it isn't a full-blown PlayStation Showcase, it's definitely still worth tuning into for PS5 owners. If you're planning to do so, you're also probably wondering when and how to watch it. To help, we've rounded up all relevant information about the event so you can be ready when the livestream begins today.
When is May 2024's State of Play?
Sony has confirmed that the May 2024 State of Play presentation will start airing live today at 3 p.m. PT. According to the PlayStation Blog, it will be a "30+ minute show," so set some time aside to watch it tomorrow afternoon.

PlayStation State of Play returns this week, will feature 14 PS5 games

Three colorful PS5s float together in a line.

PlayStation will kick off the summer of digital video game reveal streams this week with a State of Play broadcast. The stream will take place at 3 p.m. PT on Thursday, May 30.

State of Play is one of Sony's primary livestream presentation formats. It tends to be slightly shorter than the company's flagship stream, the PlayStation Showcase. This State of Play is a significant one, though, as Sony's slate of first-party games for 2024 is entirely unknown at this stage. This stream should shed some light on what's coming later this year.
