Sony 財報曝PC在2024財年帶來6.5億美元收入，但遊戲主機仍是主要營收來源
Sony 日前公開了 2024 財年財報，其中 PlayStation 遊戲部門，就提到 PS5 雖然在銷量上超出預期，並提到近期新的領導層將對第一方工作室採取更加嚴格的財務管理規範。並且也分享了 2024 年 Sony 在 PC 平台上的收入，顯示遊戲主機依然是 Sony 在遊戲部分中最主要的營收來源。
在未來的策略上，Sony 表示將從以往著重遊戲銷售量，轉向提升與玩家的互動參與度，以及每月活躍用戶數（MAU）。更提到 2024 財年推出的 PC 移植遊戲，例如《MLB The Show》、《LEGO 地平線大冒險》、《漫威蜘蛛人2》和《對馬戰鬼 導演剪輯版》等，貢獻了約 6.5 億美元的營收。
此外，PlayStation 商店在 PS4 和 PS5 平台上創造了高達 165 億美元的收入，佔 PlayStation 遊戲部門總收入的一半，而硬體部分的 77.2 億美元則佔了約 24.3%，顯示遊戲主機仍是 Sony 重要的營收來源。

而在今年 2 月，前 SIE 全球工作室總裁、PlayStation 獨立遊戲專案負責人吉田修平在訪談中提到，他曾負責將 Sony 第一方遊戲移植到 PC 平台。在看到遊戲於 PC 平台上熱銷後，Sony 的策略也隨之轉變，從原本的漠不關心，轉為積極將更多遊戲移植到 PC 平台，吉田修平直言 PC 就是一台「印鈔機」。他認為，拓展更多平台的銷售管道能為 Sony 帶來更多資金，以開發新遊戲，對公司和玩家而言都是好事。

Twisted Metal Season 2: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on June 7, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 7, 2025, 12:20 IST Twisted Metal Season 2 is gearing up to deliver more high-octane action, dark humor, and post-apocalyptic chaos. Based on the iconic PlayStation video game series, the Peacock original show became a breakout hit in 2023, earning praise for its wild energy and memorable characters. With Season 2 set to premiere soon, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming season. Twisted Metal Season 2 Release Date Twisted Metal Season 2 will premiere on July 31, 2025, exclusively on Peacock, with all 12 episodes dropping simultaneously, an increase from Season 1's 10 episodes. Cast Updates for Twisted Metal Season 2 The core cast returns, joined by exciting new faces, bringing both familiar and fresh characters to the wasteland: Anthony Mackie as John Doe: The amnesiac milkman and skilled driver, now facing the Twisted Metal tournament and a reunion with his sister. Mackie also serves as an executive producer. Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet: John's tough, foul-mouthed ally, navigating trust issues and deadly challenges in the tournament. Joe Seanoa (Samoa Joe) and Will Arnett : The duo returns as the physical and voice actors for Sweet Tooth, the psychotic clown who survived Season 1's explosive finale and remains a fan favorite. Neve Campbell as Raven: The leader of New San Francisco, likely to return with her manipulative agenda. Thomas Haden Church as Agent Stone: The rigid lawman who survived Season 1's cliffhanger, expected to stir trouble in the tournament. Anthony Carrigan as Calypso: A major addition, Carrigan plays the mysterious, showman-like host of the Twisted Metal tournament, a pivotal figure from the games with a flair for drama. Tiana Okoye as Dollface: Introduced in Season 1's finale as John Doe's long-lost sister, she leads a brutal gang and will have a significant role. Richard de Klerk as Mr. Grimm: A fan-favorite character from the games, portrayed as a Grim Reaper-inspired figure with a mysterious edge. Patty Guggenheim, Saylor Bell Curda, Michael James Shaw, and Lisa Gilroy: These actors join in recurring roles, though their characters remain undisclosed, adding intrigue to the expanded cast. What to Expect from Twisted Metal Season 2 Season 1 set the stage by introducing the post-apocalyptic world and its colorful characters, ending on a cliffhanger that teased the infamous Twisted Metal tournament. Season 2 dives headfirst into this car combat extravaganza, hosted by the enigmatic Calypso, who promises the winner their heart's desire. Expect intense vehicular battles, high-stakes races, and explosive set pieces as 16 drivers compete in a deadly demolition derby.

Is ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Really Worth $10?
In the 1990s, the immortal ad campaign once declared that 'Sega does what Nintendon't'. Fast-forward to 2025, and it's slightly different — Sony did what Nintendidn't by bundling Astro's Playroom with its PS5 to showcase its new tech, while Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is locked behind a $10 payment. Still, I bit the bullet and bought it anyway — after all, this is a Nintendo release. There's bound to be plenty of value in there, and surely much more than the minuscule $9.99 fee suggests, yeah? Well, no, not really. On balance, the pricing is accurate — the effort that went into this package was done with care. Still, it represents one of my biggest regrets as a day-one console owner, as playing Welcome Tour for this review means I've still not started Mario Kart World, which was the sole reason I ordered the damn Switch 2 in the first place. Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour initially dumps you into a long queue ahead of the experience — think the job center scene in The Full Monty without the thrusting — in which you pick a character from a wide range of generic people. In the absence of 'balding and overweight' options, I opted for the closest resemblance to what I hoped I'd become by my late 30s. As you ascend the escalator to what can only be described as 'clean Gamescom,' Welcome Tour quickly highlights a lot of strengths for the new console, which would be great if it were, by default, the first thing you'd play on the Switch 2. First up is the quality of the console's sound — not only can it be loud and crystal clear, but there's also a real depth to the effects, particularly echoes. The 120fps quality is as clear as day, too, bolstered by the bigger screen and fancy, magnetic Joy-Con 2s. Still, what becomes almost instantly clear is that you can't equate the Switch 2's technical genius with a $10 experience that explains why that's the case, especially one that goes to great lengths to make you feel like you're on a school trip. I'm not going to review the Switch 2, especially not through the lens of Welcome Tour's light propaganda. You start Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour on the left Joy-Con 2, exploring its wonders. You need to collect all the stamps in your given zone, which pop up for every button or feature of that piece of tech, to move to the next area. Collecting stamps for the up, down, left, and right buttons individually feels like a chore, and they're right next to each other. There's no fanfare or fun animation for any of these — it's very much a case that these inputs exist, and you should be happy they exist. In the spaces between these gatekeeping stamp plinths, there are fellow visitors to speak to, quizzes to take, minigames to play, and the occasional tech demo to enjoy. On the face of it, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour knows it could party, but the company's desire to teach you about the console through abnormally dull execution makes you soon realize it might not be money well spent. There are nice flash points, to its credit. Early in the tour — and rightly so — the mouse controls are showcased in a minigame that proves a fantastic example of progress: this pioneering idea is incredibly responsive, with the added bonus that rare left-handed mouse users like me can accessibly adapt the tech, simply using your preferred Joy-Con 2 as standard. Sure, the analog stick is still a little uncomfortable in the mouse grasp, but it's a small price to pay for progress. Still, even in light moments like this, there's also a shade, as another mouse game undermines the vibration technology that Welcome Tour tries to promote. To celebrate the Joy-Con 2's magnetic rumble function, you're presented with a two-way axis to detect where the strongest pulses are. For the life of me, I'll never get the double gold medal, because you need near-pinpoint accuracy to get within the margin of error, as it's not that obvious. Sure, I might have bigger hands than your average bear, but I can't recognize the most powerful tremors. Otherwise, the minigames and tech demos are mostly standard fare. You shake maracas, make coin sounds with the vibration mechanism, shoot balloons, or play finger-Twister. Still, given Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour's focus on completionism, you mostly fly through them, shrug, and carry on, looking for the next thing to strike off your list. There's also a ton of reading. As someone who thrives in European museums (most recently ticking off the unsurprisingly depressing Museum of Communism in Prague), even I struggled to work my way through the three to five information boards that popped up at every 'quiz' desk before taking a mind-numbing test. Sure, you'll learn about how the mechanics work, and probably learn a few pretty impressive things. Still, you're mostly rewarded with silly multiple-choice questions that even celebrity episodes of The Chase would be embarrassed to use. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder You're even asked to return lost property to the main desk. You can only hold one item of lost property at a time. I assume the idea here was to explain how fast travel works, but it's another tick-box affair that will leave you feeling deflated and annoyed. Later, too, there are zones that apparently require you to use technology you might not have, such as the Switch 2 Pro Controller or camera. Luckily, they're optional, as Eurogamer's morse code guide outlines, and it's nice (and wholly unsurprising) that Nintendo offers this workaround. Due to bad decision-making on Nintendo's part, Welcome Tour occupies the weirdest position for a paid 'game.' The only real way you'll appreciate Welcome Tour's content is to know that you have to buy and play it before whatever you've genuinely bought your Switch 2 for, such as presumed killer app Mario Kart World (which I don't know anything about because, like I said, I've still not even started it). Given the outlay and practicality of the materials — and, let's face it, the obviousness and dullness of the execution — Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour should have been baked into the console. In a perfect world, it would have ditched the crap quizzes, streamlined the minigames and tech demos, and introduced itself as part of the installation and syncing process to get you excited for the games you really want to play. At the very least, this should've been a freebie for pre-orders to sweeten the deal, especially given all the flak Nintendo has received for the pricing of Mario Kart World (which, if I'm being honest, isn't something I agree with). Hell, bundle it in with Nintendo Switch Online — given the depth of additions going on there, specifically the GameCube expansion, it's a surefire winner, and I'd wager that it would've earned better long-term income for Nintendo. But for $10, is the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour worth it? Objectively, yes — a lot of effort has been put into it, and there are five or six hours of play time if you want to complete it fully. Nobody's expecting another Wii Sports, but if you're going to show off all the hard work you've put into your hardware on such a technical level — and with broadly forgettable rewards — the experience should be part and parcel of receiving your Switch 2, especially when you realize, after around an hour, you'd have so much more fun playing Mario Kart World instead. Not that I can confirm that, of course. I still haven't played Mario Kart World.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads '28 Years Later.' Here's where you might recognize the rest of the cast from.
"28 Years Later" is the long-gestating sequel to Danny Boyle's "28 Days Later." Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads the film alongside newcomer Alfie Williams. Here's where you might recognize the rest of the cast from. " 28 Years Later" brings the terrifying Rage virus back to the big screen as director Danny Boyle returns to examine postapocalyptic Britain once more. It's the third film in the franchise following 2007's "28 Weeks Later" and is released on June 20. It picks up decades after the initial outbreak turned the British population into bloodthirsty, sprinting zombies. "28 Years Later" revolves around the inhabitants of Lindisfarne, an island off the coast of Northumberland. The tide cuts Lindisfarne off from the mainland most of the time, keeping it safe from the infected. Things get bloody when Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is tasked with taking his son Spike, played by newcomer Alfie Williams, to the world beyond the island. While Boyle has recruited some talented actors for "28 Years Later," Cillian Murphy won't return to the franchise just yet. Here's where you've seen the main cast before. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is known for movies like "Kick-Ass," "Kraven the Hunter," and "Nosferatu." Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Jamie in "28 Years Later," and he takes his son onto the mainland, where they come face-to-face with the infected. The actor previously starred in the " Kick-Ass" movies, and played superhero Quicksilver in "Avengers: Age of Ultron." He also appeared in the 2014 "Godzilla" reboot and had a supporting role in Christopher Nolan's "Tenet." Last year he led Sony's " Kraven the Hunter" movie as the titular Marvel villain, before getting his first brush with the horror genre in " Nosferatu." Jodie Comer made her name in British dramas like "Doctor Foster" and recently starred in movies like "Free Guy" and "The Bikeriders." Jodie Comer plays Jamie's wife Isla (and Spike's mother) in "28 Years Later." Comer started her career by starring in buzzy British dramas like "My Mad Fat Diary," "Doctor Foster," and "Killing Eve." She made the jump to Hollywood in the last five years, and worked with Ryan Reynolds on "Free Guy," and starred opposite Ben Affleck and Adam Driver in Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel." Ralph Fiennes played Voldemort in "Harry Potter" and led 2024's "Conclave." Ralph Fiennes plays the mysterious Dr Ian Kelson in "28 Years later." The actor is one of the most famous British stars of the past 30 years, following Oscar-nominated performances in films such as "Schindler's List," "The English Patient," and 2024's "Conclave." He may be best known for playing Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" franchise, and the new M in Daniel Craig's " James Bond" movies. Jack O'Connell started out in "Skins" but recently appeared in "Back to Black" and "Sinners." Jack O'Connell plays Sir Jimmy Crystal in "28 Years Later," but the details of his role are being kept secret and out of the film's marketing material. He rose to fame thanks to his role as Cook in the teen drama, "Skins," before starring in critically acclaimed British movies and shows including "This Is England," "Eden Lake," and "'71." He later appeared in Netflix's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" opposite Emma Corrin, and played Amy Winehouse's husband, Blake Felder-Civil, in "Back to Black." In 2024, O'Connell portrayed the vampire villain, Remmick, in Ryan Coogler's " Sinners." Erin Kellyman starred in "Solo: A Star Wars Story" and "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" before "28 Years Later." Erin Kellyman plays Jimmy Ink in "28 Years Later," but her role has been kept out of the marketing for the film. She also got her start in British TV thanks to shows like "Raised By Wolves" and the "Les Misérables" miniseries. She started to get more attention after her brief role as rebel pirate Enfys Nest in " Solo: A Star Wars Story," which led to her playing villain Karli Morgenthau in the Marvel series, " The Falcon and The Winter Soldier."
