At press time, Battlefield 6 stands at more than 606,000 concurrent players on Steam.

Many online multiplayer games struggle with server capacity, meaning there isn’t enough room for all players. Before a game launches, developers and publishers need to carefully plan how many servers to rent or buy. Usually, they base this decision not on the initial peak of players, but on estimates of how many people will play the game on a typical day. Sometimes, these estimates are too low, as seen with the launch of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance. To manage high player numbers, the developers of Battlefield 6 implemented a waiting queue system.

The PS5 has seen incredible games, from huge titles like Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarok, to indie hits like Hades, and fantastic remakes. There are likely even more great games than the 25 we’ve picked, but here are the ones we think everyone should experience.

We chose these games based on how good they are, and also on how much of an impact they’ve had on the PS5. We included remakes to introduce them to new players, though their ranking might differ from other lists because they didn’t necessarily generate the same buzz as their original releases. But enough from us – you’ve probably already jumped to the list!

It’s always been debated whether large donations to streamers are a good thing, and it frequently appears in the news. Recently, a streamer was tragically murdered by someone who had given her almost $70,000.

The season finale of Peacemaker included a major plot point centered around a prison planet named Salvation, an idea first conceived by George R.R. Martin.

Okay, so I just saw the gameplay for Mario & Wario, and it looks like you actually need mouse controls! Apparently, Wario’s stuck a bucket on Mario’s head, and you play as this little forest fairy guiding him through 100 levels to get him unstuck. The cool thing is, if you’re playing on the new Switch 2, you can use the Joy-Cons sideways instead of needing a USB mouse like you did on the original Switch. It’s a neat way to handle the controls!

The Battlefield 6 servers are currently active and there are no reported problems on any platforms.

As a Pokémon fan, I’ve noticed that everyone’s always talking about how big game downloads are these days – some games seriously take up half your console’s storage! And of course, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is getting the same treatment, with people already discussing its file size.

Life skills are a key part of the game. They make gathering and working with materials for crafting much simpler. Plus, each life skill has unique upgrades you can unlock, which can help you gather specific resources more effectively.

It’s confusing when it comes to Square Enix games on both the original Switch and the new Switch 2. Some let you transfer your saved progress to the new console without buying the game again, while others don’t offer any transfer options at all. I’ve compiled a complete guide detailing the features available in each game across both Switch generations. I’ll explain why I believe Square Enix made the choices they did regarding upgrades and save transfers, and also note which games are available as physical copies. The main goal of this guide is to help you easily see which games allow you to continue your progress from the original Switch to the Switch 2.
