🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformGameStop Is Trying To Capitalize On PS5's Reported New Online Requirement
It appears that Sony has implemented a new feature requiring PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to connect to the internet(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-users-report-new-online-license-checks-for-digital-games/1100-6539651/) every 30 days to renew the license on digital games they've purchased. Players who have stumbled into this odd feature are saying all PlayStation Store purchases made after March 2026 now feature a 30-day timer showing how long players have until they must connect to the internet and renew the game's license. Players who fail to do so within the time limit will lose the ability to play recent digital purchases until the game's license is renewed via internet connection. Sony hasn't made any official announcements about this--it's possible it could be a bug--but GameStop is already capitalizing on the bad press surrounding Sony's digital game license timers. "Play really has no limits at GameStop," the company shared in a recent X post(https://x.com/gamestop/status/2049185493791940641) referencing the PS5's 'Play Has No Limits' tagline. "We believe that games should work for players, not against them. If you own it, you should be able to play it anytime, anywhere, whether you are online or offline." Urging players to "start a real collection you can play, share, and trade," GameStop is offering a deal where customers can get a 10% discount when purchasing two to three preowned games, a 20% discount when purchasing four to five, or a whopping 30% when purchasing six or more preowned physical titles.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformPreorders For The Official Death Stranding 2 Novelization Are Live
!(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squareavatar/1701/17013431/4688690-ds2bookmod.jpg) Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - The Official Novelization (Paperback)(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) $19 | Releases October 20, 2026(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Barnes and Noble(https://barnesandnoble.sjv.io/c/1804712/1841124/22009?u=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/death-stranding-2-hitori-nojima/1149817482?ean=9781835418642) After launching on the PlayStation 5 last summer, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is receiving a novel adaptation. Like the novelization for the original Death Stranding, the Death Stranding 2: On The Beach story is getting two prose volumes, and you can preorder your copy of the first 336-page paperback book at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) and Barnes and Noble(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbarnesandnoble.sjv.io%2Fc%2F1804712%2F1841124%2F22009%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.barnesandnoble.com%252Fw%252Fdeath-stranding-2-hitori-nojima%252F1149817482%253Fean%253D9781835418642&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F&eventtype=click) for $19 (or for $11 as an eBook) before it releases later this year on October 13. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - The Official Novelization (Paperback)(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) $19 | Releases October 20, 2026(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squaremedium/1701/17013431/4688690-ds2bookmod.jpg) Like the first novelization, On the Beach is penned by Hitori Nojima and translated by Carley Radford. And also like the previous, this is a retelling of the events of the game, picking up where Sam Porter Bridges left off after restoring America and vanishing from the public eye. Now joined by Fragile and other allies, Sam's new mission is take rescue humanity from extinction, and will travel from Mexico to Australia to do so. Preorder at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Barnes and Noble(https://barnesandnoble.sjv.io/c/1804712/1841124/22009?u=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/death-stranding-2-hitori-nojima/1149817482?ean=9781835418642) The Death Stranding 2: On the Beach novelization is being advertised as Volume 1, so it's safe to say that we'll get at least another volume to follow the trend of the first game's novelization, which was divided into two volumes as well. At 332 pages, On the Beach is already significantly longer than the first adaptation's first volume so it'll be interesting to see how far into the game's story this book goes. Luckily, at that page count, it shouldn't take up much space on your bookshelf, and it'll fit nicely next to your physical copies of the games if you prefer to display that way. The cover uses the game's iconic theatrical poster art, which features a collage of Death Stranding 2's cast, and is reminiscent of work by Drew Struzan vibe, who famously did the poster art for the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. While we don't know when the next book in the Death Stranding 2: On The Beach novelization is launching, you can fill the wait by catching up on the 600-page, two-volume novelization of the first game, which is currently available in physical and audiobook editions(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/death-strandings-600-page-novelization-is-free-on-audible/1100-6532805/) via Amazon. Of course, if you're looking to play the game itself, you can also grab Death Stranding 2 on PS5(https://www.amazon.com/Death-Stranding-2-Beach-PlayStation-5/dp/B0F19GPDW3?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) for $59 (was $70) via Amazon.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformPlayStation Users Report New Online License Checks For Digital Games
A new quirk--whether it's a bug or a feature remains unclear--has begun affecting PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners with digital game purchases. It appears the systems' latest updates have introduced a 30-day online license check for digital games, leaving those who have extended internet outages without access to certain games. Several users, including the game-accessibility Twitter account Does it play?(https://x.com/DoesItPlay1/status/2047947842031857899), have reported that all new PlayStation Store purchases--those made before March 2026 appear to be unaffected--feature a 30-day timer that shows when you will need to connect to the internet again before losing access. This timer doesn't appear to be visible on the PS5, but according to Does it play?, it is still being tracked in the background. > Potential major DRM issue rolled out by PlayStation (and Xbox as well, allegedly). All new PSN purchases now have a 30 day validation countdown. Already investigating to find out more details. pic.twitter.com/4hqMdWfJ2T(https://t.co/4hqMdWfJ2T) > > — Does it play? (@DoesItPlay1) April 25, 2026(https://twitter.com/DoesItPlay1/status/2047947842031857899?refsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) While unlikely to be a tangible issue for most players, there are definitely use-cases that could see a PS4 or PS5 disconnected from the internet for extended periods of time. It's unclear as of now if this was rolled out as an intentional feature or was a bug included(https://x.com/DoesItPlay1/status/2048023064193966588?s=20) with the recent firmware updates. The online-support bot on the official PlayStation website(https://x.com/hazzadorgamin/status/2048861141850583480?s=46) implies it was done on purpose, but AI has certainly given us false information in the past. GameSpot has reached out to Sony and will update this post if and when we receive a response.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSave On Limited Edition PS5 Consoles, Game, And More – The Best PS5 Deals Of The Week (May 15, 2026)
This week is a mixed bag for deals, as many of the discounts from previous weeks are starting to disappear. There are still dozens of games on sale, however, including old hits like Alan Wake 2(https://www.amazon.com/Alan-Wake-2-Deluxe-PlayStation-5/dp/B0D6FP8Q4J?tag=gamespot-promos-20), God of War: Ragnarok(https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-100770772-15324736?sid=subidvalue&url=https://www.antonline.com/Sony/Computers/SoftwareProducts/GamingSoftware/1476560), and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fprince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-standard-edition-playstation-5%2FJ3ZY37HY79), making it a good time to finally start attacking your backlog. The same is true for accessories, with a handful of price cuts disappearing, though enticing DualSense and headset deals are still active. Folks in the market for a new PS5 will want to snag the Ghost of Yotei Gold Limited Edition Bundle(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fdirect.playstation.com%2Fen-us%2Fbuy-consoles%2Fplaystation5-console-ghost-of-yotei-black-limited-edition-bundle-model-group-slim) for $600. With Sony's price hike in full effect, this is arguably the best way to pick up a PS5 this month. Along with a console adorned with exclusive Ghost of Yotei graphics and a disc drive, you'll get a similarly styled DualSense and a copy of the game. There are dozens of other great discounts on PlayStation games and hardware available, and to help you find them, here's a look at the best PS5 deals this week. Best PS5 Game Deals !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4694772-mixcollage-13-may-2026-08-13-am-3744.jpg) If you missed out on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fprince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-standard-edition-playstation-5%2FJ3ZY37HY79), now is a good time to add it to your collection. The metroidvania is just $15 (was $40), and it earned a 9/10 in our review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-review-crowning-achievement/1900-6418167/). Along with colorful graphics and plenty of secrets to unlock across its many areas, you'll encounter some truly challenging platforming segments, mind-bending puzzles, and enemies that require both quick wits and planning to defeat. Octopath Traveler 0(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKPD1TF9?tag=gamespot-promos-20) is just a few bucks away from its all-time low price at $39 (was $50), and if you're seeking a nuanced RPG with an exciting storyline, it's an easy recommendation. There's no need to have played any of the other games in the series, as it serves as a prequel. With a complex combat system and relaxing town-building mechanics, most players have found it to be an excellent entry in the franchise. Another excellent RPG is also cheap right now, with Metaphor: ReFantazio(https://www.amazon.com/Metaphor-ReFantazio-Launch-PlayStation-5/dp/B0D2FY9H73?tag=gamespot-promos-20&tag=gamespot-buybutton-20) listed for $26.49 (was $70). Crafted by the same folks responsible for Persona, it gets you a striking art style, memorable characters, and a constant sense of adventure. Our review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/metaphor-refantazio-review-everybody-wants-to-rule-the-world/1900-6418297/) gave it an elusive 10/10. Folks on the hunt for something that'll get their adrenaline pumping, Diablo 4(https://www.amazon.com/Diablo-IV-PlayStation-5/dp/B0BPPPPYK7?tag=gamespot-promos-20&tag=gamespot-buybutton-20) is $40 (was $70). The game has seen massive improvements over the years, and it's arguably in the best spot it's ever been. Keep in mind that this is just the base game--if you're hoping to enjoy the Lord of Hatred expansion, you'll need to drop extra cash. But since the base game has tons of content to enjoy (and a new season recently began), you shouldn't feel like you're missing out on much. Other good deals include Astro Bot(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FAstro-Bot-PlayStation-5%2F6261168812%3Fwmlspartner%3Dwlpa%26selectedSellerId%3D0%26wl13%3D1045%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26adid%3D22222222277626116881211775502866912420145346%26wl0%3D%26wl1%3Dg%26wl2%3Dc%26wl3%3D501107745824%26wl4%3Dpla-394283752452%26wl5%3D9194061%26wl6%3D%26wl7%3D%26wl8%3D%26wl9%3Dpla%26wl10%3D8175035%26wl11%3Dlocal%26wl12%3D6261168812%26veh%3DsemLIA%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26gadsource%3D1%26gadcampaignid%3D12420145346%26gbraid%3D0AAAAADmfBIoUp5tzcTyrTlg8AyYqYB7M%26gclid%3DCjwKCAjwwJzPBhBREiwAJfHRnTRERZK4VK-SlxKwC0C5DOf-HH2ZTNwQIOeYLUnF8JtWQ468doMbdhoCIKUQAvDBwE) for $45.49 (was $60), Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion(https://www.amazon.com/Daemon-Machina-Titanic-Standard-PlayStation-5/dp/B0F3Y142HG?tag=gamespot-promos-20) for $30 (was $50), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2(https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Come-Deliverance-II-PlayStation-5/dp/B0D2FGZ3HF?tag=gamespot-promos-20&tag=gamespot-buybutton-20) for $40 (was $60), Rise of the Ronin(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Frise-of-the-ronin-playstation-5%2FJXHQ3CCGK8) for $45 (was $70), and Hitman: World of Assassination(https://www.amazon.com/HITMAN-World-Assassination-PlayStation-5/dp/B0C4G7FHR8?tag=gamespot-promos-20) for $20 (was $30). And if you're excited for the new Mortal Kombat movie, Mortal Kombat 1(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fmortal-kombat-1-standard-edition-playstation-5%2FJ3KZRPGTKK) is on sale for $20 (was $30). Fans of SpongeBob also shouldn't miss the steep discount on SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom (Shiny Edition)(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fspongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated-shiny-edition-playstation-5-playstation-4%2FJ3L7FXTSCX), as it comes with collectibles such as wallstickers, lithographs, a pair of socks, and a hilarious SpongeBob statue for $60 ($150).

Considering these controllers rarely go on sale, that price cut could be the best deal we see for quite a while. The deal has been around for a few weeks now, and it's unclear when Target will end the promo. If you don't mind third-party gamepads, the Razer Raiju V3 Pro Wireless Controller(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Felectronics.woot.com%2Foffers%2Frazer-raiju-v3-pro-wireless-controller%3Fcjdata%3DMXxOfDB8WXww%26ref%3Dwcntwp044%26utmmedium%3Daffiliate%26utmcampaign%3DCJ%26cjevent%3D309abbbe495911f181f800180a1ebadf%26utmsource%3DFandom%2C%2BInc.%26utmterm%3D309abbbe495911f181f800180a1ebadf) is $155 (was $220), and it's a popular alternative to the premium DualSense Edge. Equipped with four removable back buttons and two claw grip bumpers that are fully mappable, it's great for accessibility purposes and competitive gaming. Make sure to clip the coupon on the Amazon store page to get the full discount. If you need an affordable headset, the Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset(https://www.amazon.com/Razer-BlackShark-V2-Gaming-Headset/dp/B086PKMZ21?tag=gamespot-promos-20) is $40 (was $60). It gets you reliable 50mm drivers, plush earcups, and support for surround sound, though it doesn't feel or sound quite as premium as its high-end competitors. You'll also have to put up with a wired connection. Still, for just $30, you're getting a headset that'll perform admirably. The Sony Inzone H9 Gaming Headset(https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Wireless-Canceling-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0CJH3DJ36?tag=gamespot-promos-20) has a nice offer this week, too, with Amazon discounting it to $198 (was $330). Built for PC and PS5, it supports 360-degree spatial sound, uses mutliple microphones to improve its noise-canceling skills, and is built with both a plush headband and earcups for support. Give it a look if you game across both platforms, as it's a highly rated choice. Grown tired of your PS5's bland appearance?

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformNew PS5 Update Is Out Now, And It Doesn't Even Mention Stability
A new firmware update has begun rolling out for PS5 consoles, and the big surprise is that it doesn't add more system stability. Version 26.03-13.20.00 brings more of your mom's favorite WhatsApp language to the console, as you can now use an expanded selection of emojis as message reactions. On top of that, Sony says it also added improvements to messages on "some" screens. PS5 Version 26.03-13.20.00 Update Notes - We've added more emojis that you can use for message reactions - We've improved the messages and usability on some screens And that's it--no system stability notes or any other significant updates, just more emojis and better messages. Previous firmware updates(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-ps5-update-is-out-now-actually-does-a-lot-for-once/1100-6538822/) introduced more substantial upgrades to PS5 consoles, like an enhanced version(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-pros-upgraded-pssr-is-rolling-out-today-here-are-the-first-games-getting-it/1100-6538811/) of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution for the PS5 Pro, a new Showcase Mode, and improved system software performance. Back in January, the Version 26.01-12.60.00(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-ps5-update-is-out-now-does-what-you-expect-and-more/1100-6537714/) update also introduced the usual round of stability enhancements alongside a few extra improvements to friend widgets, general usability, and messages.
