🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformKonami Digital Showcase Will Feature Updates On Three Games Including Silent Hill: Townfall And Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse
!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/25/5d601af1/silenthill03.jpg.webp) Konami has announced a new Press Start digital showcase that will air Thursday morning, September 3, shortly after PlayStation’s scheduled State of Play(https://gameinformer.com/2026/08/31/playstation-schedules-back-to-back-state-of-plays-for-thursday). The presentation will provide new updates on Silent Hill: Townfall(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/silent-hill-townfall-is-coming-this-year-from-konami-and-annapurna), Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/castlevania-belmonts-curse-made-by-konami-and-the-dead-cells-devs-launches), and Rev. Noir(https://youtu.be/SGRT0YrOZs?si=x-2iT1XwhQa4iAS). The showcase begins at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET and will air on Konami’s YouTube(https://youtu.be/us-U1NKynio?si=nUYUfTGj4b3HZ8i6) and Twitch(https://www.twitch.tv/konami) channels. A press release states, “In this broadcast, Konami will present information on its latest lineup—including Silent Hill: Townfall (releasing Sept. 24), Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse (releasing October 15), and the recently announced RPG Rev. Noir—interspersed with new gameplay footage and video messages from the developers.” It appears Konami Press Start will only feature the three advertised titles based on the verbiage. The press release specifically clarifies that there will be no announcements regarding the remake of the original Silent Hill(https://gameinformer.com/2025/06/12/konami-teases-a-remake-of-the-original-silent-hill), which is currently in production by Bloober Team. Silent Hill: Townfall releases later this month and is a first-person adventure by Screenburn, the developer of Observation. You can learn more about the game in our extended preview from Summer Game Fest(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2026/06/08/radio-drama). Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is a new side-scrolling entry by Dead Cells developer Evil Empire, and it launches next month. We played it at a recent hands-on event, and you can read our impressions here(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2026/03/03/back-from-the-dead). Rev. Noir is an action RPG that was revealed during a PlayStation State of Play in February(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/everything-announced-at-the-february-playstation-state-of-play), and it's the title we know the least about. It's currently slated as a PlayStation 5 exclusive and has no release window, so perhaps Konami will narrow that launch timing on Thursday.

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/stream-a-cheese-pull-codes.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) If you've ever thought, ‘I could easily create a Mr-Beast-sized content creation empire if they ever let me stream myself pulling apart cheesy food items,’ Stream A Cheese Pull is everything you ever dreamed of. You play a streamer who buys crates full of streaming gear, which you open to unlock set-ups of different rarities, and then you stream cheese pulls in front of that streaming gear to make cash, allowing you to buy increasingly rare set-ups. But everyone knows a streaming empire needs resources, and an easy way to get those fast is through using redeemable codes in-game to get free goodies, like Crates and Workers. So if you're looking to bump up your production values, here's every Stream A Cheese Pull code currently in the game. Read more(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/stream-a-cheese-pull-codes)

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformThe Witcher 4 Probably Won’t Be On A Disc, But Dev Teases Physical “Feelies” Of Some Type
CD Projekt Red recently confirmed that the long-awaited RPG The Witcher 4 is targeting a release in 2028(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/witcher-4-release-window-narrowed-down-to-2028/), and that timing has led many to wonder if the Polish developer will offer the game on a disc. After all, Sony is ending support for physical PlayStation discs in 2028 and Microsoft is expected to ditch discs, too. CD Projekt joint CEO Michał Nowakowski told The Game Business(https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/assassins-creed-creator-patrice-desilets) that the studio has "no influence" on what companies like Sony and Microsoft choose to do with regards to supporting discs. "The discs for the first parties, including PlayStation, have to be manufactured in their own factories. So, if they stop manufacturing indeed by 2028, then yes we won’t have a disc," he said. At the same time, Nowakowski stressed that CD Projekt Red is a company that is highly fond of giving people "access to tangible collectible things." Given that, the executive teased that The Witcher 4 will, "for sure," have some kind of "box." "We’re nerds ourselves, and we like that. We always supported that. So, whatever is the case, we’re going to be for sure having a box. We’re going to have a box that’s going to have some feelies in it," he said. "Something you’re going to be wanting to open up and enjoy. But we have no influence actually on what’s the case here." The Witcher 4 kicks off a new trilogy of The Witcher games, spanning The Witcher 4, 5, and 6. These games are planned to all be released within a six-year window, so the entire trilogy could be here by the end of 2034. In addition to these three new The Witcher games, CD Projekt is working on The Witcher 3 Remastered(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-3-remastered-is-adding-dozens-of-upgrades-and-it-might-be-free-for-you/) and a new expansion for the game called Songs of the Past(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-3-songs-of-the-past-is-a-mystery-centered-on-dandelion/). Additionally, the team is developing Cyberpunk 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2-is-probably-further-away-than-you-hope/1100-6531896/), a The Witcher multiplayer game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mysterious-witcher-game-project-sirius-undergoes-more-changes-report/), and a game made in partnership with Scopely(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/witcher-devs-new-game-with-saudi-arabias-scopely/).

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformPS5 Adds Free Live And On-Demand Movie And TV Channels, In Exchange For Watching Ads
Out of nowhere, Sony has announced that free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) is now on PlayStation 5, allowing people to watch movies and TV shows for free, in exchange for watching ads. FAST programming is growing in popularity, and some of the current market leaders include Roku, Tubi, and Pluto, among others. FAST content was already on PS5 through dedicated apps for some of those services, but now Sony is launching its own FAST channel. For its part, Microsoft offers some FAST channels apps like Tubi and Pluto on Xbox as well. Available on PS5 in the US, the new "Live TV on PS5" comes from Sony's own Sony Pictures Television. There are more than 100 live channels, as well as on-demand programming spanning news, sports, movies, TV shows, and anime. Here's how to access it on your PS5: 1. Go to the Media tab: 2. Select the Live TV on PS5 icon. 3. Select “Sign In With My PlayStation Account” to connect your PlayStation account and start watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txpaWqfcFFU Some of the content available includes movies from MovieSphere, 50 Cent Action, FilmRise Free Movies, Sony One Horror Hits, and Cinevault. Some of the TV shows people can watch include The Walking Dead, Community, Unsolved Mysteries, and Hell's Kitchen. Anime programming available on the service includes Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Death Note, as well as some Crunchyroll channels. For sports fans, programming from Fox Sports, Nascar, NBC Sports Now, and UFC are available. There are also news and weather channels, along with "creator" content like Hot Ones and The Ringer programming. Live TV on PS5 will be updated over time with more channels and content, while Sony said it’s looking to expand it to Canada and other regions later. FAST is a growing segment of the entertainment landscape. According to The Hollywood Reporter,(https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/disney-exploring-launching-fast-offering-1236664717/) Disney and Netflix are also mulling plans for FAST content as well. Before this, Sony operated the paid live TV service PlayStation Vue, but the company shut it down in 2020 due in part to how expensive it was to operate.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/youtube-tv-launches-on-ps4-as-playstation-vue-shut/1100-6472948/)
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platform“Aggressively” Selling PS5s Isn’t Needed, As Sony Focuses On Making More From Existing Owners
This November will mark the sixth anniversary of the PlayStation 5 console's launch, but in the years since its arrival, the gaming market has changed dramatically. The trend of consoles becoming cheaper over time has vanished this generation, as the PS5 now costs more today than it did in 2020, and the expectation is that Sony's hardware sales could slow down over time. Sony doesn't seem too worried about that, as company president and CEO Hiroki Totoki explained that there's no need to "aggressively" sell the console. "We are in the latter half of the lifetime cycle of a PS console," Totoki said to the Wall Street Journal. "That means that we do not need to aggressively sell the console today. And rather than that, we're focusing on recurring revenue from the current user base. And already, PS Plus has more than 125 million MAU (monthly active users) today. And how to monetize from the users is quite important for us." https://youtu.be/obR5p5AzRs Totoki wasn't clear by what he meant exactly in terms of aggressive PS5 sales, although it likely comes down to Sony not needing to discount the console or even sell it at a loss to draw in new users. Sony has been pretty open about its plans(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-could-offset-rising-ram-costs-by-monetizing-the-ps5-install-base/1100-6538266/) to increase revenue from the players it does have, and these numbers have been growing steadily over the last couple of years. PlayStation Plus is required to access online services for the vast majority of games available on the console, while higher tiers tempt potential subscribers with access to an expanded library of games via the PS Plus Game Catalog. At the same time, Sony is preparing to move toward an all-digital future(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-confirms-playstation-disc-production-will-end-in-2028/), as over 80% of games purchased for the console are done so through its digital storefront. Once Sony begins to phase out game discs starting January 2028, plugging that gap should result in a sizable jump in its profits(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-is-sony-killing-discs-its-all-about-profitability-and-control-expert-says/). PS5 lifetime sales have reached 95.3 million units sold(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-is-closing-in-on-100-million-sales-but-its-losing-ground-to-the-ps4/) as of July 31, 2026. At the same time, the company is starting to feel the pressure from rising prices. Compared with the same period in 2025, console sales declined by 36% in the last quarter. The company still has an active PS4 userbase to monetize as well, and despite its decision to end PS5 disc production being met with a lot of criticism(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/over-220000-people-petition-sony-not-to-kill-physical-playstation-game-discs/), digital game sales increased(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-latest-ps5-sales-data-shows-digital-pulling-even-further-ahead/) from 78% to 82% during the recent financial quarter. It's worth noting that profits during this period did increase by 37% thanks mostly to US tariff refunds and favorable exchange rates, but none of these refunds will be passed back to consumers.
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformPlayStation Schedules Back-To-Back State of Plays For Thursday
!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/31/8c847a6e/god-of-war-laufey-wm-screenshot-battle-en-30may26.jpg.webp) Following a wild week of announcements from Gamescom, PlayStation is turning the spotlight back on itself with not one, but two State of Play presentations. The first showcase will be a standard State of Play, while the latter is the return of State of Play Japan, and will be hosted by Yuji Kaji. Both will air this Thursday, September 3 at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. CEST / 10:00 p.m. JST. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/nocompression/public/2026/08/31/49b1ab69/stateofplay9-3-26.jpg.webp)(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/nocompression/public/2026/08/31/49b1ab69/stateofplay9-3-26.jpg.webp) "First, tune in for a new State of Play featuring updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners, concluding with an extended look at the vast world of Final Fantasy VII Revelation from our friends at Square Enix," an announcement post on the PlayStation blog reads(https://blog.playstation.com/2026/08/31/state-of-play-state-of-play-japan-return-on-september-3/). In addition to seeing more of Final Fantasy VII Revelation (which just got a new trailer during Gamescom), we can probably expect to see some of the other big PlayStation games on the horizon. It's pure speculation, but it's not out of the realm of possibility to see Marvel's Wolverine(https://gameinformer.com/2026/07/22/insomniac-interview-reveals-marvels-wolverine-takes-place-when-the-x-men-dont-yet-exist), God of War Laufey(https://gameinformer.com/2026/07/27/god-of-war-laufey-releases-in-february), or maybe even Kena: Scars of Kosmora(https://gameinformer.com/2026/02/12/kena-scars-of-kosmora-guides-players-to-a-new-adventure-this-year). And after last week's impressive extended look, our fingers are crossed to see more GTA VI(https://gameinformer.com/2026/08/27/grand-theft-auto-vi-trailer-provides-lengthy-first-look-at-gameplay-including-story), even if it's unlikely. The second showcase, which will immediately follow the first, is specifically focused on "upcoming games from game studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay, announcements, and more," according to the blog announcement. On that front, we might hear about new projects from Atlus(https://gameinformer.com/gamescom-2026/2026/08/30/heres-every-game-we-played-at-gamescom-2026:~:text=launches%20next%20year.-,Persona%204%20Revival,-By%20Wesley%20LeBlanc), Sega, RGG(https://gameinformer.com/gamescom-2026/2026/08/30/heres-every-game-we-played-at-gamescom-2026:~:text=preview%20here.-,Stranger%20Than%20Heaven,-By%20Wesley%20LeBlanc), or Phantom Blade Zero, which is due out this October(https://gameinformer.com/2026/08/12/new-phantom-blade-zero-trailer-reveals-donnie-yen-and-an-upcoming-state-of-play). The State of Play Japan will air in Japanese, but with English subtitles. The announcement doesn't hint at how long the presentation will be, unfortunately. You'll be able to watch it live on September 3 on PlayStation's YouTube(https://www.youtube.com/user/PlayStation) or Twitch(https://www.twitch.tv/playstation) channels.
