All dropped on the cusp of Tokyo Game Show.

Last month, gamescom introduced a platoon of trailers to whet our appetite for what’s to come for gamers. Of course, that’s just the beginning. It’s now the season for new game trailers. Today, on the cusp of the Tokyo Game Show, PlayStation held a State of Play to showcase what’s coming for the blue brand. Here’s a quick list of the biggest trailers to come from the event.

Saros

Early this year, Housemarque unveiled Saros, its next game after Returnal. Much like the previous game, death is important. Though you will die over and over again, you can earn progression and upgrades to tackle more challenges with ease.

In this new trailer from the State of Play, Saros shows off its bullet hell mechanics. Players will dodge a lot more, akin to the movement of shooters like Doom.

Battlefield 6

It looks like Call of Duty has competition this year. The Battlefield franchise has long stood opposed to the iconic Call of Duty series. However, DICE’s shooter series has been relatively silent as of late, compared to the more outspoken series from Activision.

Now, Battlefield 6 is teasing an explosive single-player campaign to rival Call of Duty’s storytelling.

Deus Ex Remastered

RPGs and shooters today have a lot to thank the Deus Ex franchise for. If you missed this classic piece of gaming history, the original Deus Ex is coming to PlayStation with a remastered edition coming in February next year.

Halloween

The asymmetrical horror genre isn’t dead. Once again playing to their strengths, Illfonic is back with a new asymmetrical horror game based on the Halloween franchise. In this game, players can go about things in a single-player mode or the classic asymmetrical mode where a group of survivors try to outwit the powerful Michael Myers.

Nioh 3

Even for veterans of FromSoftware games, Nioh represents an extremely difficult franchise. The series pelts players with challenge after challenge. Now, the series is back with a third outing. This time, players are coming back to Japan but as a deposed shogun Tokugawa Takechiyo seeking revenge against his brother Tokugawa Kunimatsu.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Despite how niche the simulator is, Microsoft Flight Simulator dropping on the PlayStation 5 is pretty big news. For the first time, the flight sim is leaving the exclusivity of the Xbox and Windows. Players can start taking on various aircraft in December.

PlayStation might soon let you buy PC games

Cross-Buy might bundle your PS5 games with a PC version.

Maintaining a gaming library between different platforms is a chore, especially for multiplayer games. It’s way too common to buy a new game on one platform, only to find out that your friends bought it on another. This could lead to double buying or forever missing out on playing with friends. Now, PlayStation, if a new leak is to be believed, will finally help cure the curse of platform mismatches.

Last week, @yAmethxst, an X user, posted leaked screenshots of new icons coming to PlayStation. The leak was also confirmed legit by Dealabs. Though some are less interesting (like a touchpad button), a couple of the new icons are hinting at a Cross-Buy function coming to the platform.

Based solely on the name, Cross-Buy doesn’t offer much. However, a complementary icon, which shows the PS5 logo and a PC logo side by side, confirms how Sony wants this to work. Cross-Buy will likely allow players to purchase two copies of the same game: one for the PlayStation and another for their PC.

There are a few gaps and questions to be answered, though. For one, which games are compatible with this feature? Is it exclusive to PlayStation’s first-party games, or are third-party games included?

Secondly, which platform on PC will the feature support? The likeliest suspect is Steam, but how about users who prefer the Epic Games Store or GOG?

There are so many mysteries about this feature. Heck, we don’t even know if this will actually work as we described. If anything, this is a welcome feature in the world of cross-platform gaming.

Grand Theft Auto VI delayed to November 2026

Back in September, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally launched, ending an almost seven-year wait. Now, the next holy grail of gaming that’s set to launch is Grand Theft Auto VI. However, the wait is now a tiny bit longer. Rockstar Games has delayed the launch of its upcoming game to November 2026.

It’s been over 12 years since the launch of Grand Theft Auto V. In that time, the title has gone through three generations of the Xbox and the PlayStation. It even has an enhanced edition already. That said, the highly anticipated sixth outing is a long time coming.

In the tail end of 2023, Rockstar Games released the first trailer for the anticipated sequel, teasing a launch in 2025. Further reports pinpointed a fall 2025 window. Since then, the studio delayed the game to May 2026 for extra polishing.

Today, Rockstar Games has announced another delay. This time, Grand Theft Auto VI will launch on November 19, 2026. The studio is once again citing the need to polish the final product a bit more.

Besides the game itself, there is a lot riding on its launch. For one, other game developers are notorious for patterning their games’ release windows away from Grand Theft Auto VI (or other major games). They naturally don’t want their games to be the one known for being overshadowed by Rockstar’s surefire hit.

Secondly, publishers are patiently waiting for how much the game will go for. There’s speculation that the title might push the boundaries of videogame pricing. If the game is a hit while going for 90 to 100 bucks, then other publishers might follow suit.

The Nintendo Switch is nearing the end of its lifecycle

Nintendo will focus more on the Switch 2 going forward.

It’s the beginning of the end for the Nintendo Switch. After almost nine years of the original console, Nintendo is just about ready to move on to the next generation.

According to a recent earnings report, Nintendo has announced that the company will start focusing on the Switch 2. “Going forward, we will shift our primary development focus to Nintendo Switch 2 and expand our business around this new platform,” the report said.

Since it was launched earlier this year, the Switch 2 exceeded the company’s expectations. The new console has already surpassed 10 million units sold worldwide, making it Nintendo’s fastest-selling console so far. In fact, the company is already worried about shortages in some parts of the world.

As pointed out by the report, 84 percent of current Switch 2 users transitioned from the original console generation. Owners of the first console are transitioning at a uniform rate.

Currently, there is no explicit plan to fully move away from the first generation yet. The issued statement, however, heralds the end. This will likely start off on a subtler note: fewer games coming out and fewer consoles available in the market.

So, there is no pressing need to switch over to the newer console immediately. However, this should be a warning for users that the end is nearing.

For what it’s worth, the Switch 2 offers backwards compatibility. If you have a shapely catalog of games from the first generation, you can still use them on the newer one. Also, there is a growing number of exclusive games that make use of the more powerful hardware, so it’s a worthy upgrade.
