PlayStation State of Play June 2025: Everything Announced
Days before Summer Game Fest, PlayStation held its latest State of Play presentation, giving PS5 owners a glimpse of what they can expect for the rest of the year and into 2026. Aside from a wealth of new looks at games we already knew about, the State of Play had quite a few nice surprises as well. Below, we've compiled a full list of every single trailer and announcement that was at the June 2025 State of Play, in the order they were shown. The very first announcement of State of Play was a bombshell, the comeback of PlayStation's experimental music franchise Lumines. But the big twist is that it's being made by Enhance, the acclaimed studio behind the likes of Rez: Infinite and Tetris Effect. Another major surprise of the State of Play was the long-awaited return of Capcom's Pragmata, a brand-new property that looks as charming as it does bizarre. The sci-fi shooter starts some kind of astronaut accompanied by a small girl, as they blow away a wealth of gruesome-looking aliens. Yeah, it's weird, but compelling. Suda51, the eclectic creator behind No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned, is back with a fittingly wacky new game, Romeo Is a Dead Man. Gruesome, bloody, action-packed, and kitchy — this already looks like it could have everything you'd ever want from a Suda game. We got out first look at full gameplay for Silent Hill f, and it looks utterly horrifying in every way. The methodical exploration of Silent Hill seems to be alive and well here, along with facing the most hideous creatures you've ever seen. We also now have a release date of September 25. Koji Igarashi's spiritual successor to Castlevania is finally getting a sequel, and it looks even more Castlevania-esque than the first game. Sporting a gorgeous cel-shaded art style, it looks like this sequel will sport multiple playable characters, a wide array of costume options, and plenty of different weapons to equip. Bandai Namco debuted a new trailer for Digimon Story Time Stranger, the gorgeous-looking new RPG for the franchise. Taking place largely in Shibuya, Time Stranger, at least visually, looks like a massive step up from the past Digimon Story games. Also, we now know the game will launch on October 3, 2025. The cult classic strategy game is finally coming back, with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. Interestingly, there will actually be two versions of the game in this release — a newly remastered version with full voiceovers, and the original game completely unchanged. From the creator of Getting Over It, Baby Steps is sidesplittingly funny simulation games. As you might expect, the entire goal here is to literally just walk, taking one painful step after another. Hirogami, as you might guess from the name, is a new action platformer inspired by the ancient art of Origami. It looks a bit like the PlayStation classic from Media Molecule, Tearaway, but with an action twist. Konami shared a new trailer and a release date of July 31 for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, the 2D action-packed revival of the classic platforming games. With a demo out now, Cairn is a mountain-climbing simulation game where you play as a young girl named Aava, traveling up Mount Kami. It features realistic climbing mechanics where you have to adjust posture, find the right handholds, and more. The master of remasters at Digital Eclipse are back at it again with a truly epic collection. This massive endeavor features 20 different versions of classic Mortal Kombat games, faithfully preserved and enhanced. Konami debuted a new trailer for the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, this time largely focusing on the iconic boss fights of the game, and more gameplay. We even get a look at the update Ape Escape crossover. Koei Tecmo's take on the Soulslike is coming back in a big way with Nioh 3. This sequel already looks exceptionally action-packed, and introduces two new dynamic fighting styles themes around 'Ninja' and 'Samurai.' Even better, a demo is available to play right now. Yet another legendary franchise making a comeback, although in a little bit of a different way. The Thief games were one of the key franchises that created the Immersive Sim, and now it's heading into a brand new dimension with VR. Tides of Tomorrow is a fascinating-looking story-based multiplayer game, where you have to 'uncover the choices' of your fellow players and deal with their consequences. All while it takes place on a colorful ocean planet. While we didn't get a good look at the new content, PlayStation did announce that more Challenge Levels are on the way for Astro Bot. And yes, that'll include new bots to rescue, including one from Ghost of Yotei. This free-to-play voyage RPG looks like a more arcade-y take on Sea of Thieves, fill with pirates and hijinks on the high sea. But, interestingly, it features turn-based combat and an island building section. A new game from Giant Squid and the creators of Journey and Abzu, Sword of the Sea is a gorgeous exploration game filled with chill vibes. It's launching on August 19, and will be available for free through PlayStation Plus on day one. One of the biggest surprises of the show was our first look at 007 First Light, the brand-new James Bond game from Hitman developer IO Interactive. This origin story follows a new Bond when he's an airman in the British army, chronicling his rise as the legendary 007. Ghost of Yotei got a tiny new trailer that seems to hint at a wolf companion, while announcing a full-blown State of Play dedicated to the game coming in July. Arc System Works, the studio behind beloved fighting games like Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ, is bringing its talents to the Marvel Universe — and it already looks incredible. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls brings an entirely new style and aesthetic to these beloved characters, with four-vs-four battles that look as intense as you'd expect. As overwhelming as that flood of announcements might be, don't forget the week is just getting started with even more events over the next few days, including the Summer Game Fest Showcase and Future Games Show. Make sure to check back at CGMagazine for news from all the big events.

Who will miss out on PIP under Labour's reforms? The new DWP assessment explained
More than one million people could lose out on disability benefit support following the government's decision to limit who qualifies for personal independence payment (PIP). From November 2026, those claiming the "daily living element" of PIP - which provides financial support for individuals who need help with everyday tasks - will need to score a minimum of four points during their assessment for the benefit in one single activity to qualify for support, Liz Kendall announced in Parliament on Tuesday. The assessment changes will result in up to 1.2 million people losing support of between £4,200 and £6,300 per year by 2029-30, independent think-tank the Resolution Foundation has projected. The policy is one of several disability benefit cuts made by the government as paert of wide-ranging welfare reform it says will help get people into work and save £5bn. Many PIP claimants have said the restrictions are a further financial blow in an already confusing and invasive process, with charities warning that the changes could push another 700,000 disabled households into poverty. Here's what the change to the assessment process for PIP looks like — and what that could mean for you. Anyone applying for PIP has to go through an assessment that determines the amount of money they receive. PIP is awarded based on the difficulties a claimant faces with various daily living and mobility activities, which is scored on a points-based system. There are 10 activities that assessors score for the daily living component of the payment, with each having a certain number of points attached: Preparing food - 8 points Eating and drinking (also referred to as "taking nutrition") - 10 points Managing treatments - 8 ponts Washing and bathing - 8 points Using the toilet and managing incontinence - 8 points Dressing and undressing - 8 points Communicating (talking, listening and understanding) - 12 points Reading - 8 points Engaging with other people (socialising) - 8 points Managing money - 6 points There are 120 points available in this section. Currently, you can score eight points in total from any of these sections to be eligible for PIP. Under new rules, a person has to score at least four points in total in one section in order to be eligible for daily living support. The scoring is based on looking at your ability to carry out these tasks over a 12-month period, looking back three months and forward nine months. Currently, to be eligible for any of the daily living PIP payments, you need to score at least eight points in the assessment. These points can be scored across any of the above 10 areas. Under the new rules, however, you will need to score at least four points in one single section — meaning that while you may encounter difficulties across several areas, only severe difficulties will take you over the eligibility threshold. The amount you will be paid will stay the same, which is: 8 to 11 points: Standard rate (£72.65 per week) 12 or more points: Enhanced rate (£108.55 per week) While scoring someone's PIP assessment requires nuance as well as grading, here's a breakdown of what typically counts for different point values: 1 point Using an aid or appliance to manage medication Needing supervision, prompting, or assistance to manage medication or monitor a health condition 2 points Needing an aid or appliance to dress or undress Requiring prompting to dress, undress, or select appropriate clothing Needing assistance to dress or undress the lower body Using an aid or appliance to speak or hear Needing prompting to read or understand complex written information 4 points Needing assistance to dress or undress the upper body Requiring communication support to express or understand complex verbal information Needing prompting to read or understand basic written information Requiring social support to engage with other people The difference, crucially, between hitting a two points or four points can be between whether people are prompted to do a task, or have to be supervised to do a task. If you need prompting to do a task, that's two points. If you need supervision for your safety, however, that's four points. There are a range of people who could miss out under the new criteria, with a disabled person who needs help to eat, wash and manage toilet needs potentially no longer qualifying for PIP. MPs and campaigners are concerned people struggling with mental health conditions, neurodivergent people with ADHD and autism, as well as those with fluctuating conditions and neurological conditions may be among the groups to miss out on future payments. Earlier this month, Wes Streeting took aim at the rising number of people with mental health conditions claiming PIP, telling Laura Kuenssberg that he thought doctors were "overdiagnosing" mental health illnesses. Mental health charity mind called the rhetoric "dangerous" and warned Streeting against "reinforcing stigma" and "stopping people getting support". The PIP eligibility changes will come into effect from November 2026.

Womanizer's Enhance Is a 2-in-1 Sex Toy That Delivers
I think it's safe to say that, at this point, Womanizer has covered it all. When it launched in 2014, the company introduced the world to Pleasure Air Technology, which stimulated the clitoris through air pressure—a first at the time. Over the years, it experimented with that technology, offering different intensities and patterns while exploring other shapes and sizes. Last year, Womanizer put its Pleasure Air Technology on hold when it released the Womanizer Vibe, a clitoral vibrator that relied solely on vibrations to stimulate. Now, just a few months later, we're treated to the Enhance, a two-in-one package of vibrations and Pleasure Air Technology. It's flipping fantastic. A Winning Combo Womanizer typically employs medical-grade silicone and/or ABS plastic, and the Enhance is no different. The design is sleek, but the head doesn't protrude like on other toys—it's sunken—and will comfortably hover over any size clitoris. The device is waterproof and USB-A rechargeable. It offers 10 levels of intensity for the Pleasure Air Control and vibrations, as well as 10 vibration patterns to choose from if that's your thing, plus buttons to increase and decrease power. The buttons are easy to figure out, but because of where they're placed and how you have to hold the Enhance to ensure it's snug against the clitoris, it's easy to accidentally switch modes and intensities. I did this a few times, unexpectedly throwing me off my game. It's not fun to be into a specific sensation and level of power, and then for it to go in a different direction immediately. Variety may be the spice of life, but not when you're about to orgasm. Photograph: Womanizer Initially, I had no idea how the Enhance, especially based on the design and the head, was going to work, but Womanizer pulled off a two-in-one. If you want to feel the rumble of deep vibrations without any sucking, you can have that. If you prefer the Enhance feel like someone is going down on you with gentle or intense suckage, without a vibration to be felt, you can have that too. I climaxed like rapid fire the first time I tried the Enhance. I had been messing around with the buttons for probably less than two minutes and didn't get very far into exploring sensations when it was clear I was on the verge of an orgasm and just rolled with it. It was as close to almost instantaneous as I've ever gotten in my life. Since then, I've experimented with what the Enhance has to offer. I'm still running into occasional issues with the buttons; I need to change how I grip it apparently, since I naturally hold it tighter as I get closer to climax. Success Rate Womanizer claims the Enhance successfully achieved a 100 percent orgasm rate among a 10,000-person consumer testing panel. The company says this was a first in Womanizer history, though that's not entirely accurate. Photograph: Womanizer
