GRAN TURISMO

AT LAUNCH?

SuckerPunch’ssamuraiepicis now

coming to PS4 in late 2020 just ahead

of PS5’s release, so it’s fair to guess

this will be the game carrying the flag

for cross-gen gaming. The real news,

however, is that we’ll be able to carry

our saved game data across from one

console to the next, so anyone worried

they’ll need to leave GTA Online behind

shouldn’t fear PS5.

GHOST OF TSUSHIMA

ON PLAYSTATION 5?

A morepower-efficientSleep mode

willmeanlowerenergycosts. When in

Sleep mode PS5 will consume around

0.5W of power, versus the 8.5W of

your current PS4. So you’ll be playing

Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS5 and

saving the planet. Kind of.

ECO-FRIENDLY

It’snotbeenconfirmed

but the direction of

travel is to integrate

online gaming as much

as possible across

platforms, so we’d

expect the big releases

and games-as-service

to include some kind

of crossplay at launch.

CROSSPLAY

HITMAN PS5?

Warner Bros

Entertainment and

Io Interactive have

confirmed a new

game is coming.

We’re predicting

a Hitman for PS5.

Who doesn’t

want an Agent 47

game with PS5-

powered machine

learning? It’ll know

your every move!

I hopetheextra

heft of the console

is used to give us some

even better single-player

exclusives. All I care about

is the software library.”
