HandsON

PlayStation has a crop of new hardware launching in 2026. No, unfortunately I don’t have anything to tell you about the PS6, but I recently had the chance to visit PlayStation HQ and go hands-on with a slate of upcoming PlayStation accessories, the FlexStrike wireless fightstick, the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, and the first officially PlayStation-branded gaming monitor.

In an age where single-player first-person shooters are slowly going extinct because they only make money for their publisher once while multiplayer live-service shooters vie for our time and attention on a daily basis (and often contain lots of bullsh*t, like microtransactions and/or drawn-out gameplay loops), Metro 2039’s single-player-only craftsmanship and attention to detail after my first few hours with it have me already prepared to call it my favorite first-person shooter in a long time.
