Locked in for the debate.

You can stop sharing leaked images of the PS5 Pro; real ones have arrived.

Here it is in Sony’s gallery-full of images, including some on the optional vertical stand — and one that shows how it attaches to the also-optional, not-included Blu-ray disc drive.

Destiny 2 is charting new frontiers.

Bungie has shared a new content roadmap for Destiny 2. Going forward, expansions will be much smaller and released every six months. The D2 team also plans on streamlining the game’s UI and reward offerings in order to make the notoriously newbie unfriendly game a bit more approachable.

Hopefully the new strategy can right the Destiny 2 ship after layoffs, underwhelming content, and project cancellations rocked the studio.

Sony’s PS5 controllers get a $5 increase.

Sony has quietly started increasing the price of its DualSense PS5 controllers by $5 at many retailers in the US. Wario64 first spotted the price increases at Best Buy, before noticing the DualSense has gone up at Target, GameStop, and Sony’s own PlayStation store. It comes after recent price increases for the PS5 console in Japan, but there are no signs console prices will increase in the US.
