Sony try to disrupt Nintendo Switch 2 launch with surprise PS5 State of Play
Sony has announced a new PS5 presentation for this week and they've timed it to happen just hours before the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. You'd think with the Nintendo Switch 2 launching in just a couple of days, other companies would wait for the hype to die down before pushing their own games. So, it's genuinely shocking to see Sony not just announce a new PlayStation 5 showcase for this week, but schedule it for Wednesday, June 4 – the night right before the Switch 2 launches. It's very clearly been done on purpose, in an act of antagonism that is very unlike Sony in the modern era, and harkens back to the bad old days of their PlayStation 1 and 2 rivalries. As is often the case for Sony's State of Play events, those of us in the UK will need to stay up until 10pm BST to watch it, with the showcase set to last approximately 40 minutes. There was talk of Sony having something planned for June, with rumours pointing to it being one of these smaller scale State of Plays rather than a larger E3 style showcase. 40 minutes is a decent amount of time for a flurry of game reveals, but past experience points to them mostly being from third parties rather than Sony's in-house studios. The last State of Play from February was actually very good though, after a string of disappointing presentations, with highlights including the announcement of Returnal successor Saros and a trailer for the new Onimusha game from Capcom. As for what could be shown at this week's showcase, it's anyone's guess. It could be new footage for Ghost Of Yōtei, since that's out this October, or an update on one of Sony's live service projects like Marathon or Fairgame$. Maybe Sony will give the people what they want and announce a new God Of War; something that has been rumoured for several years now. Whatever the case, it's hard to imagine Sony having anything that will be significantly more exciting than the launch of a new Nintendo console. More Trending While the two companies are competitors at the end of the day, we can't help but find the timing of this showcase is disrespectful on Sony's part. What's for certain is that it isn't accidental. It's also wildly pointless since no one's going to cancel their Switch 2 pre-orders at the last minute to save their money for a PlayStation 5 or whatever new exclusives are announced. Plus, a significant chunk of the viewing audience will want to own both consoles anyway. That is unless Sony has some monumental announcement planned, that is going to change the status quo, but if that was the case they almost certainly would've made it a full showcase and not just a State of Play.

Roborock's slimmest model yet is designed to tackle family mess with precision and ease, marking a new era of household cleaning. SYDNEY, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock, a global leader in ultra-intelligent home robotics, has officially launched its latest robotic vacuum for its flagship Saros series – the Roborock Saros 10R – in Australia. Following the model's launch earlier this year at CES 2025, after much anticipation Aussie households can now experience the intelligent cleaning power of Roborock's slimmest robot vacuum yet — which is available from Roborock's Official Online Store and Amazon Australia from today. Designed to easily glide under furniture and into tight corners, the Saros 10R is built for the realities of busy family life — effortlessly handling tangled cords, crumbs and clutter with powerful suction and intelligent design. That same performance extends to pet-friendly homes too, with the Dual Anti-Tangle System delivering a 100% hair removal rate and zero tangling[1] — making it ideal for the more than two-thirds[2] of Aussie households that own a pet.

Games Inbox: Is there going to be a PS5 State of Play this summer?
The Thursday letters page worries what will happen if the new Marvel games are flops, as one reader laments the slow death of physical games. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Summer schedule I really hope that Sony is planning to make more first party games but I have a feeling there's no going back to how things were. It's been too long and too much has changed, including Sony still selling tons of PlayStation 5s even without any proper exclusives and Xbox going multiformat. I think it's reasonable to hope they will do more though. We can't stop them making any more live service games but they do seem to at least be slowing down a bit. The problem is that slowing up doesn't mean they'll speed up with single-player games instead. They could just end up making less overall, like they have over the last few years. We've got Ghost Of Yōtei this year, which I'm not super excited about (I'd had enough of the last one by halfway through) but I am very interested in seeing Returnal follow-up Saros next year, so hopefully things are slowly turning around. I want to be optimistic, but the problem is there's no sign of Sony having a not-E3 State of Play showcase this summer. The past two years they've had it at the end of May and I think we've probably gone past the point they were going to announce it if it was happening. I hope I'm wrong, or maybe it's later in June for some reason, but it doesn't look good. RaeBonn Your story is another castle I see the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel has had its name leaked as Super Mario World. I'm not sure your average Joe is going to get that reference, but would they actually bother doing an adaptation of the game's story? Does the game even have a story? I've beaten it twice and I honestly can't remember. Looking at Wikipedia, apparently it was all in the manual and basically Bowser kidnapped Peach and some dinosaur eggs. There's so little to work with I really have no idea what direction any of these films could do to justify themselves as anything other than a cash-in. The Paper Mario games are the only ones with an actual plot, but even then that's not what's good about them. Austin Risky business I've got a bad feeling about these upcoming Marvel games. I imagine Wolverine will be fine, but that Iron Man game will be almost two decades too late by the time it comes out. And I can't believe many people are interested in a Captain America and Black Panther team-up set in World War 2. Normally I'd just shrug my shoulders and write it off as an incoming flop but nowadays that means the whole studio could go down and how many hundreds of people are working on these two games? I'm not exaggerating either. Consider what happened to Firaxis after the (excellent) Midnight Suns flopped. All the lead developers left, the studio was fractured (I don't think it was a coincidence that Civilization 7 was a rare dud), and now we'll never get an XCOM 3. I don't know these developers behind Iron Man and the other one as well, but I do know that lots of jobs are now in danger, just because EA was late jumping on a bandwagon. Cerates Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Reliable reputation Glad to hear GC got Power Stone back and I like the sound of all the effort Capcom put into the collection and the reasonable price. I've never really been into fighting games, so it's not really of interest to me. But it Does make me think better of Capcom, for when something else I am interested in comes up. I wish this was something other publishers thought of, especially as Capcom is doing so well, financially speaking, at the moment. But unfortunately EA and Activision, and even Ubisoft to a degree, just rely on their big franchises and don't really put out much else anyway. Sony is another example of doing this well, because their reputation for first party games really wasn't that great until the PlayStation 4. They just built it up and became someone to rely on. Them throwing that all away now is so strange. Griefer Money issue I've been thinking for a while now about this, but Sony could take Xbox out the console market with just one sentence. You can put Game Pass on PlayStation. There wouldn't be any need for an Xbox and we know Phil wants it on there. Why Sony won't do that I'll never know. It's a win/win for Sony. You never know, Sony might allow them sooner or later and Xbox can go the way of Sega, just with a hell of a lot more money and just to make games. David GC: They won't do it because they make more money selling games on their store. Although they may change their mind in time, because they've begun to make more selling microtransactions than actual games. And another thing You know, I have been witnessing quite a bit of clamour over the last few days. More or less a lot of complaining and quite a stir of negativity. I've seen GTA 6 fall surprisingly prey to this. Either people have issues with the inevitably violent content, the sex or the aged fable of controversy. My take is my bond and I say that I gladly welcome the gratuitous violence, the sex, and the glory glitz of Leonida. Because I've waited over 12 years for an evolution and no echoes of bemusement will deter me from my course of securing the collector's edition as soon as possible. If that includes a statue or early access I will be immensely satisfied. My second point is the Nintendo Switch 2. I've already mentioned that I secured the Mario Kart World bundle from Amazon and I acknowledge the bricking controversy. But modding isn't my cup of tea, so Nintendo has nothing to worry about. I'd rather emulate PlayStation 2 games anyway. Thirdly, the PlayStation 6. It matters not the price, storage, exclusives or specs. I'm buying this system, as I did the PlayStation 5. Day one. If it arrives in 2027, the merrier it is for me. I will very much take great stride in playing Horizon Zero Dawn 3 and many other titles. Shahzaib Sadiq Mum's the word I was wondering when we might get some concrete thoughts about the Switch 2 launch games? Is there an embargo about when Switch 2 games are able to be reviewed? Or perhaps there is an embargo on when you can talk about an embargo, nothing from Nintendo would surprise me. Mark GC: There's always an embargo on when we can talk about an embargo, but especially when it involves Nintendo. Facing defeat I know the war was lost long ago (shops stopping second-hand games was the end, as far as I see it) but it is so tragic to see how small a part of gaming physical copies are now. I don't know anyone, amongst my friends or family, that buys physical copies anymore and what would be the point anyway, when they're not even stored on the disc?. Perhaps it was inevitable, since even if the initial game is on the disc it gets distorted and expanded by updates the second you put it in a console but it's the fact that there's literally no benefit to digital. People talk about convenience but what convenience? Not having to change discs is just silly and lazy. And it takes time to buy a physical copy? I could drive to the shops and back quicker that it takes me to download a modern game. Not that I'm in the habit of paying out £60 on a whim, that I suddenly decide I have to have a new game right then and there. Gaming got infinitely more expensive as soon as it became more difficult to sell on your games, especially with eBay's new payment rules. But apparently nobody cares. Maybe everyone else is a millionaire all of a sudden, and I didn't get the memo, but the death of physical is just handing more control to publishers and taking more cash out of the wallets of ordinary people. Rufus Inbox also-ransJust watched the Borderlands movie on Amazon. It's no Fallout or The Last Of Us but it's not that bad. I particularly liked Jack Black as the annoying android Claptrap. They should make a Brütal Legend movie – it would have a great soundtrack. Think I will check out the Like A Dragon movie next. Johnny Alpha SD Currently playing: Doom Eternal and Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Thanks for the heads-up on Very, I managed to get my bundle with a camera so I'm very excited now. I went back and checked and it's still live though, which seems weird given no one else has any stock at all.

Saros to Launch Revolutionary DLMM Technology on Solana
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New v3 Liquidity Model Set to Transform DeFi Trading Experience and Ecosystem Resilience Saros, a leading decentralized finance protocol on Solana, today announced plans to release a groundbreaking DLMM (Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker) v3 model as part of a comprehensive upgrade to its infrastructure. This advanced liquidity solution represents an evolution in decentralized exchange technology within the Solana ecosystem. The new DLMM model will introduce customized liquidity provision ranges, enabling users to earn enhanced LP (liquidity provider) fees while significantly improving trading efficiency across the platform. This technology has proven to be a major driver of volume and total value locked (TVL) for market leaders in other ecosystems and among current players in Solana. The DLMM is the first in a series of major 2025 upgrades to the new SAROS ecosystem, which will bring both application and infrastructure layer upgrades to Solana users and multi-chain traders worldwide. Addressing Ecosystem Vulnerabilities This development comes in the wake of the widely publicized scandals surrounding several decentralized exchanges and Hayden Davis of Kelsier, which resulted in billions of dollars in value destruction, particularly affecting political meme tokens $TRUMP, $MELANIA, and $LIBRA. These events have exposed critical vulnerabilities stemming from centralized points of failure and highlighted the need for robust alternatives within the Solana ecosystem. 'The recent Kelsier situation demonstrated how concentrated power and influence can challenge the stability of our entire ecosystem,' said Thanh Le, founder of SAROS. 'Our implementation of DLMM technology aims to strengthen the integrity of the Solana DeFi landscape by providing a more decentralized and robust alternative that reduces systemic risk while fostering genuine free-market competition.' Mr. Le emphasized that with the advice and assistance of the original creators of v3, the TraderJoe founders, the technology will 'bring the most well tested, innovative, and robust version of the REAL v3 technology to Solana, with the speed and execution quality that Solana has become famous for.' Accelerated Development Timeline In alignment with Solana's reputation for speed and innovation, Saros is executing this technological build at rapid pace. The development team has garnered the expertise and support of the original creators of DLMM technology from TraderJoe to ensure secure and cutting-edge implementation. A beta version of the DLMM product is scheduled to launch in mid-May 2025, with early previews and technical renderings to be unveiled during the upcoming Token 2049 conference. Early Adopter Incentives Users participating in the upcoming $SAROS staking program which will be released on April 28th, will have exclusive access to alpha and beta versions of the new technologies as they are announced in the coming weeks and months. Stakers will gain access to new launchpads, airdrops, yield bonuses, and discounts on major research and trading technologies. Complete details of this rewards structure will be announced later this month, offering early adopters potential opportunities to benefit from their participation. 'It is time for a new era of open competitive innovation, growth, and integrity in the Solana ecosystem,' the Saros team stated. 'It is time for Saros.' About Saros Saros is developing next-generation decentralized finance infrastructure on the Solana blockchain, focusing on speed, security, and user experience. The protocol aims to provide traders and liquidity providers with advanced tools while maintaining the core values of decentralization and transparency.
