3 new Game Pass games to play this weekend (May 30-June 1)

The month of May isn't ending quietly. Elden Ring: Nightreign is sneaking in right at the buzzer to give souls fans a new way to engage with that hit formula in a co-op setting. Of course, we understand that style of game isn't for everyone and that leaves a bit of an awkward gap before the next upcoming Xbox game. As impressive as the first wave of Game Pass games was, the second is arguably better. Not only are we treated to one of the best games of 2024, but two day one additions. This is the perfect weekend to get a little weird and try out some unique games that might only be possible thanks to Game Pass. Let's kick off the summer on the right foot with my personal recommendations for what you should be playing this weekend. Metaphor: ReFantazio 2024 was an incredibly competitive year for awards. Astro Bot and Balatro took home tons of well-earned trophies, but it would be a crime to ignore just how good Metaphor: Refantazio is. It is clear as day this is coming from the Persona team just based on the core combat system, music, and incredible UI work, but evolves the formula in some meaningful ways. There's a light bit of real-time combat you can use here, but the flexibility in the Archetype system begs you to break the entire thing wide open. If you enjoyed crafting overpowered builds in Clair Obscur, this game will scratch that same itch. Wrap the entire thing up in an incredibly relevant and heartfelt story and this is easily one of the best JRPGs to come out in the last decade. Recommended Videos Metaphor: Refantazio is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. To a T If you like the oddball style of the Katamari games, To a T is the next project from Keita Takahashi. This time the game is a narrative adventure centering around a young boy who is stuck in a T-pose; a term used in 3D modeling for a character's default stance is standing straight up with both arms outstretched in a T stance. Described as a coming-of-age story, you will go through daily tasks to experience the difficulty of doing simple things like brushing your teeth when locked in that pose. Your dog will be your main companion and help you as you go through life in a small town. It sounds absurd, and likely is to a degree, but it has a lot of heart and a great message about living with a disability. To a T is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Spray Paint Simulator Look, we get it, it feels like there's a simulation game for everything at this point. We can't say all of them are winners, but Spray Paint Simulator has captured my attention as a great melding of the zen-like qualities of Powerwash Simulator but with more creative freedom. Again, the premise is in the title here; you're entering levels to spray paint them to restore various locations and objects. The range of missions is great, from normal things like homes to giant robots. You will unlock more tools as you go and build up your business, but can also just jump into the Free Spray mode if you just feel like letting your creativity fly without any restraints. Spray Paint Simulator is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.

7 must-play PS5 games you (probably) haven't played this generation

This article is part of Tom's Guide's inaugural Gaming Week, an entire week of content dedicated to all things gaming. From insights into the latest hardware, guides to the best games you can play today, to the essential accessories we can't play without. Tom's Guide Gaming Week will guide you through the world of video games in 2025. Somehow, we're already well into the PS5's fifth year on the market. In the years since Sony's console hit the scene, we've been treated to some top-tier gaming experiences. Sony's console has brought us exclusives like Astro Bot, God of War: Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, Helldivers 2 and Returnal, plus amazing multiplatform releases like Baldur's Gate 3, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Elden Ring, to name but a few. Of course, anyone who keeps up with gaming knows there's always something new to play just around the corner, and the backlog only seems to get bigger. Inevitably, that means you can't always get to some of the best PS5 games and some games fall through the cracks or fail to get the audience they deserve. Seeing as it's gaming week here at Tom's Guide, I felt now was the perfect time to look back at some of the great PS5 games that you might not have gotten around to playing just yet. Third-person, soulslike combat isn't exactly unique these days, but Aggro Crab's fun indie adventure from Aggro Crab is has bags of charm. In Another Crab's Treasure, you take charge of Kril, a wayward hermit crab who has his shell taken away by a loan shark. Armed with a humble fork, you embark on an epic journey across the ocean, battling formidable foes, leveling up, earning new skills, and trying on various bits of sea-floor trash (each with unique abilities) in place of your stolen home. It's following the genre formula, but boasts distinct environments and enemies, satisfying combat, and a fun sense of humor that marks it out from many of its grimdark peers. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And, unlike similar titles, if a boss takes one too many tries… You can always just pop into the menu real quick and take out your frustrations on the foe in question by toggling an option that equips our plucky hero with a 9mm pistol for a guaranteed one-hit kill. Everywhere I look, I see Firaxis' Marvel's Midnight Suns being called an underrated gem, and these gamers are right. This expansive XCOM-adjacent tactical RPG sees you forming a team of heroes like Blade, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man before heading out into the field and battering foes in brilliantly-realized scraps through an innovative card-based system. Of course, superhero-ing about is tiresome work, and perhaps what really makes the game tick is the in-between stuff, wherein you return to your team's base of operations, The Abbey, and juggle resources, upgrades, research projects and mission rewards while also sending your protagonist, the Hunter, off to hang out with individual teammates — and everything feeds back into making you more and more powerful. You might need some time to get to grips with the combat systems, but Midnight Suns is seriously worth investing time in. I only got around to playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown at the end of 2024, but it ended up being one of my favorite games of the whole year — and that was enough to earn it a spot on our list of the best games you didn't play in 2024. If you like Metroidvania exploration and challenging boss fights, The Lost Crown deserves to be on your radar. It boasts fluid and dynamic combat, engaging boss fights and platforming challenges, secrets to discover, and an intriguing story to boot. I've continued to be disappointed that we won't be getting a follow-up ever since (apparently due to lower-than-expected sales). Despite pitching a sequel, the team's subsequently been disbanded, which is a crying shame. Typically, I'm not an FPS kind of guy. My go-to games are usually sprawling RPGs or your typical single-player, third-person adventures. So when I picked up RoboCop: Rogue City, I really wasn't prepared to be as pleasantly surprised as I was. It's about as authentic a follow-up to the original movie as anyone could want, and it impresses in the visual department. Plus, it matches that admiration and glossy look with punchy combat. The story itself might not be the most inspiring, and it's not exactly ground-breaking gameplay, but for the sheer power fantasy of it all, this is well worth playing. Stomping through the streets as a walking tank of a man and doling out justice is seriously satisfying stuff. Now's a great time to play RoboCop: Rogue City, too, seeing as there's DLC inbound this summer. Hopefully, you added it to your PS Plus library last month — it's worth a play. Awaceb's Tchia is a lush island getaway that everyone should check out. Inspired by New Caledonia, you roam around a fictional archipelago as the titular protagonist in search of your kidnapped father. Exploration plays out Breath of the Wild style, equipping you with the ability to run, jump, sail, glide, and climb about the world with abandon, in search of new things to see and do. Throw in the brilliant 'soul-jumping' mechanic, allowing you to possess animals and inanimate objects, memorable minigames, and tons of collectibles to hoover up, and you've got a beautiful game with a unique identity that makes for a joyful journey Looking for a bite-sized adventure? Fancy playing what is doubtless one of the funniest games on the system? Coal Supper's absurd 'slapformer' is the must-play for you. Casting you as a balding, tiny traveling salesman, Thank Goodness You're Here! is essentially a playable sketch show that sends you off to Barnsworth, a strange town modeled on Northern England. There, you're suddenly wrapped up in the dramas and problems of the local population, helping to grease a man's arm so he can free himself from a grate, securing meat for the local pie shop, or assisting an innuendo-prone gardener played by Matt Berry with his chores. It's incredibly British, absolutely absurd, and side-splittingly funny. If there's one PS5 launch title I'd bet a lot of Ps5 owners haven't tried, it's The Pathless, which no doubt players skipped in favor of the heavy-hitters like Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Demon's Souls. Developed by Giant Squid — the team behind the 2016 underwater adventure, Abzû — The Pathless is another gorgeous, immersive third-person adventure that casts you as 'The Hunter', a nimble archer who is tasked with lifting a curse from the realm with the help of her trusted eagle companion. It's a game that soars thanks to its simple yet satisfying movement system. The Pathless combines a blistering sense of speed with surprising scope, and makes getting from place to place as satisfying as ticking off your main goals. Whether you're dashing from point to point, solving puzzles, or taking on the jumbo-sized, corrupted guardian animals, I'm sure you'll have a blast. And frankly, it's worth playing simply to listen to another album's worth of beautiful music from Austin Wintory.

Sony to increase first party games output as PS5 sales continue to fall

As Sony projects a decline in PlayStation 5 console sales over the next year, the company is hoping software will pick up the slack. Sony's first-party line-up for the PlayStation 5 has been an increasing disappointment over the past five years, with standouts like Returnal and Astro Bot, but too few new releases and too many remasters and failed live service experiments. The lack of first-party games is reflected in the company's financial report for the 2024 fiscal year (ending March 31, 2025). As outlined by Sony, first-party software sales dropped to 28.9 million in FY24, a 10.8 million decline from 2023's 39.7 million. While overall game sales were up over last year, at 303.3 million, Sony is expecting an increase in both first and third-party software sales over the 2025 financial year – which seems to indicate it has some surprises up its sleeve. Sony is set to release Ghost of Yōtei and Death Stranding 2: On The Beach in 2025, and according to Sony's definition of the term, the latter does count as first party even though it's not made by one of their internal studios. There are also projects like Bungie's Marathon and the Sony-published Lost Soul Aside, which are both slated for this year and also come under the definition of first party. While Sony will likely increase its first-party sales with these games alone, there's a chance another unannounced project might be lined up for 2025. Earlier this year, rumours claimed a new God Of War game set in Greece is planned for 2025, but nothing has been officially announced yet. It's also perfectly possible that other, current unguessed at, titles could be waiting in the wings. Despite these positive forecasts for software sales, Sony is less optimistic when it comes to hardware. The company is expecting PlayStation 5 sales to drop in the 2025 financial year, which isn't exactly surprising as we're over five years into the console's life cycle (and the next 12 months no longer has GTA 6 as a potential boost). More Trending Over the 2024 fiscal year, PlayStation 5 hardware sales totalled 18.5 million, selling 2.8 million in the last quarter. This is a small drop from the previous year's 20.8 million. This means total PlayStation 5 sales have hit 77.8 million, which is just 1.4 million units behind the PlayStation 4 at the same period in its life. However, whether that means it'll end up with a similar lifetime total, of around 117 million (making it the fifth most successful console of all time), is hard to guess. We'll likely have a better idea of Sony's upcoming software slate over the next month, if not through a State Of Play presentation, then at Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025.

You can use the Govee Home app to choose between over 16 million shades, sync the lights up to your music and more. You can also control them via Alexa or Google Assistant. A pair of wireless earbuds with active noise canceling for under £25? You better believe it! These pack in a 10mm driver for big sound and have a transparency mode to keep you aware of your surroundings. You even get 7 hours of battery life on a charge, or up to 24 hours when you use the included charging case. Having a slow cooker is essential for making great food really easily, and the Crock-Pot CSC063 is a fantastic choice. It comes with a 7.5-litre capacity, digital controls with programmable timer and an auto keep warm feature that locks food at the perfect temperature for guests to scoop from! If you want a grill that can do it all, this all-in-one grill and smoker is a fantastic choice from Ninja. It features a built-in thermometer and is weather-resistant. It's the perfect option if you don't have the space for a standing grill. What the HP OmniBook X lacks in style, it more than makes up for in substance, thanks to its fast performance and exceptional battery life. Its 14-inch display delivers sharp and clear images, while its touchscreen gives you added versatility for work. The iPhone has a 6.1-inch display with a 60Hz refresh rate and features Apple's A18 chip. In terms of cameras, you get 48MP main (f/1.6) with 2x optical quality zoom, 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2) and 12MP selfie lenses. Our iPhone 16 review said this phone has "pro features at a mainstream price," which makes it awesome value for money. TV sale: deals from £98 @ CurrysCurrys has smart TVs on sale for as low as £98. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 1080p models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets. These are among the cheapest TVs we've seen. Note that Amazon and Argos are holding similar check: from £99 @ Amazon | from £109 @ Argos The Hisense U7N is a fantastic way to lock down three important elements without breaking the bank: bright HDR performance, ample gaming features and an excellent display. In our Hisense U7N review, we shouted out this TV's 1,300+ nits of HDR brightness. Its Mini-LED backlighting is especially nice to have at this price point, along with its support for 4K gaming at 120Hz or check: £599 @ Amazon The S90D is one of Samsung's 2024 OLED TVs. The OLED TV features Samsung's new NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, HDR10+/HLG support, 120Hz refresh rate, four HDMI 2.1 ports and built-in Alexa. It also offers 4K AI Upscaling to ensure all programs are crisp and sharp. On the audio front, you get Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound Lite for 3D surround sound. Our Samsung S90D review said, "it offers the best bang for your buck."Price check: £849 @ Amazon The Sony Bravia A95L is a QD-OLED TV that combines two display technologies: quantum dots for vibrant colors/expanded brightness and OLED for perfect blacks/infinite contrast. That results in a picture that isn't merely good, it's sumptuous with every type of content, every time. In our Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED TV review we said the Editor's Choice TV offers superlative picture and top-notch sound, mated with the outstanding Google TV interface and a cornucopia of other useful options. A pair of wireless earbuds with active noise canceling for under £25? You better believe it! These pack in a 10mm driver for big sound and have a transparency mode to keep you aware of your surroundings. You even get 7 hours of battery life on a charge, or up to 24 hours when you use the included charging case. With a bass boost button (or 'ULT' button as Sony calls it), the Sony ULT Wear are a basshead's dream. They sound great, look cool and bring some pretty good noise-canceling to the table. Our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024) review said that these buds' active noise canceling performance is "so effective you feel lonely." While they have a few small flaws (no aptX or lossless support), they deliver amazing sound quality, some of the best active noise canceling we've ever heard and up to 31.5 hours of battery life. At this price, they're a check: £129 @ Amazon The 4.5-star QuietComfort Ultra headphones are the best noise-canceling headphones that you can buy right now. That's thanks to Bose's excellent active noise canceling algorithm, which manages to block more noise than any other pair of headphones we've tested. They sound great as well, boast a decent attempt at Spatial Audio, and while the 24-hour battery life isn't the best, they are still a solid pair of cans. An entry-level Android tablet, the Samsung Galaxy A9 has been slashed in price. It features an 8.7-inch display with a 60Hz refresh rate, a long-lasting battery and a snappy octa-core processor. You also get 5MP front and 8MP back cameras. What the HP OmniBook X lacks in style it more than makes up in substance thanks to its fast performance and exceptional battery life. Its 14-inch display delivers sharp and clear images, while its touchscreen gives you added versatility for work. This flexible 2-in-1 laptop is on sale for a tasty £200 discount. It's equipped with an Intel Core 5 120U CPU, 16GB RAM and 512 storage, making it well equipped for everyday computing tasks. Having a slow cooker is essential for making great food really easily, and the Crock-Pot CSC063 is a fantastic choice. It comes with a 7.5-litre capacity, digital controls with programmable timer and an auto keep warm feature that locks food at the perfect temperature for guests to scoop from! This carpet cleaner has a high-speed brushroll, PowerSpray high-pressure spray and plenty of suction to lift dirt and grime straight out of a carpet. The carpets dry quickly, too, and it's ideal for just about anything that may have got in there, including smoke smells. If you want a grill that can do it all, this all in one grill and smoker is a fantastic choice from Ninja. It features a built-in thermometer and is weather-resistant. It's the perfect option if you don't have the space for a standing grill. The Luxe Café is a lot more versatile than similarly priced espresso machines. With a setting for drip coffee and instant cold brew, it has a coffee for every preference. We gave it a 4.5-star rating in our Ninja Luxe Café review and praised its consistent performance and ease of use. The Google Pixel 9 features a 6.3-inch 1080 x 2424 OLED display, Tensor G4 chipset, 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Rear cameras include a 50MP main and 48MP ultrawide, whereas on the front there's a 10.5MP camera. In our Pixel 9 review, we said the new AI features, upgraded cameras and bigger battery make it the Pixel phone to buy. The iPhone has a 6.1-inch display with a 60Hz refresh rate and features Apple's A18 chip. In terms of cameras, you get 48MP main (f/1.6) with 2x optical quality zoom, 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2) and 12MP selfie lenses. Our iPhone 16 review said this phone has "pro features at a mainstream price," which makes it awesome value for money. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has dropped in price. In our iPhone 16 Pro Max review, we liked its larger 6.9-inch display and handy Apple Intelligence features (like Writing Tools and the new Siri.) It also has epic battery life, lasting 17 hours and 38 minutes in our testing.
