The PS5’s DualSense controller’s in-built mic is definitely going to be useful for players who don’t have a headset handy, but it could be a nightmare for anyone who forgets it’s on. The on-by-default microphone has already caused headaches for those previewing the console before its November 12 release, with the microphone broadcasting private conversations or frustrated comments not meant for team members to hear.

The issue was first brought to light by PlayStation LifeStyle’s Chandler Wood, who accidentally broadcast a private conversation with his wife while participating in a multiplayer preview session. Wood also mentioned that a few of the voices he could hear in the session didn’t sound like they intended for them to be heard by others in-game.

While the mic will definitely have interesting applications for single-player games, as well as making it easier for people who want to use voice chat in multiplayer, having it on by default seems like a recipe for disaster. Luckily muting it is easy–there’s a small button near the mic, below the PlayStation button, that will mute the mic and show an orange indicator light.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is releasing on November 13, and unlike last year’s Modern Warfare, it’ll feature a Zombies mode. Treyarch usually goes all-out with these modes, and Cold War should be no different–the developer is planning ahead for the now-traditional hunt for Easter eggs within Zombie mode.

In a tweet, Treyarch has promised that the “main Easter egg quest,” along with related side quests, will be made live in Zombies mode nice and early–from 8:30 AM PT on November 13. That means that North American CoD fans will have time to purchase the game digitally and download it, and that folks in earlier time zones throughout the world (as well as media) won’t have an advantage in hunting them down.

If you want the glory of being part of the first team to discover some of these Easter eggs, you’d best start planning with your squad now. Hunting down all the secrets has become an increasingly big part of Zombies mode over the years.

Demon’s Souls on PS5 is a sight to behold. It feels somewhat reductive to focus on how pretty it looks, but having played a handful of hours, it’s currently what commands my attention the most. As people around the world invest in expensive new consoles, it’s incredibly validating to play a game that is clearly taking a stride forward, so forgive me if I sound a bit superficial–but good grief is it pretty.

In Demon’s Souls, The Nexus serves as a sort of prison for the wayward souls of those who hunt monsters invading the kingdom of Boletaria. It’s the first in a long line of From Software hub locations where the player can seek solace from the ruthlessness of the world around them. To me, however, the PS3 version of The Nexus had an ominous quality and, although it was certainly a safe harbor, it also had frailty to it–like a faint glimmer of light in an endless void of encroaching darkness.

Arriving to the PS5 version of The Nexus, however, was genuinely overwhelming. Admittedly, some of that can be attributed to intense nostalgia for a game that sparked an obsession with the sub-genre it pioneered, but to chalk it up to just that would disregard the amount of work Bluepoint has done to bring Demon’s Souls to life the way From Software originally envisioned it. And that, I think, is what seems to be the underlying goal of this remake: Take the vision for Demon’s Souls, stay true to it, and express it in a way that From Software couldn’t back in 2009. And though I’m still quite early in the game, it currently feels like Bluepoint has been successful in this regard.

In this latest comparison, we take a look at how the brand-new Demon’s Souls remake on PlayStation 5 stacks up against the original game on the PlayStation 3. Check out the similarities and the differences some 11 years later.

Arnold Schwarzenegger will once again step into the top-secret shoes of a super-spy. This time, though, he’ll do it on the small screen. A new, as-yet-untitled series starring and executive produced by the action star is heading to Netflix, Deadline reports.

The series is created by Nick Santora, who is also writing the Jack Reacher television show for Amazon Prime. Along with Schwarzenegger, the show will star Monica Barbaro (Top Gun: Maverick) as his daughter. The series marks Schwarzenegger’s first attempt at scripted television. The last time he appeared on television was for his season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice.

The series comes to Netflix via Skydance Television, which previously brought Grace & Frankie and Altered Carbon to Netflix, as well as Jack Ryan to Amazon and the upcoming Foundation to Apple TV. There’s no date set just yet. Schwarzenegger has played all manner of gun-wielding authority figure throughout his career from Colonel John Matrix in Commando to Sherriff Ray Owens in The Last Stand. This series, though, can’t help but call to mind the 1994 Schwarzenegger vehicle True Lies, in which he played a spy whose identity was secret even from his wife, played by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Backwards compatibility on the PlayStation 5 means you can pretty easily jump to the next-generation console while continuing to play most of your old PlayStation 4 games. Moving your games to your new console is pretty easy–you can do it with a disc, with an Ethernet cable, or over Wi-Fi. But you’re probably also going to want to bring along your saved game files so you can pick up on your PS5 where you left off on PS4, and that’s a little less intuitive.

It’s not difficult to move game saves from PS4 to PS5, but you do have to go looking through menus to find the spot to do it. The best way is to use a PlayStation Plus subscription and its included cloud storage. If you upload your game saves to the cloud, you can then easily download them to your new console. You can also transfer save files to a USB stick on your PS4 and physically transfer the files without the use of the internet.

To grab your save files on your PS5, go into the Settings menu, which is marked by the Gear on top of the user interface. From there, navigate to “Saved Data and Game/App Settings.” There, you’ll find settings for your game save data on your console (or consoles) and in Cloud Storage. To pull down your game saves for PS4, head to “Saved Data (PS4)” and choose the “Cloud Storage” option. From there, you can see how much game data you’ve got in the cloud, download saves for specific games, and delete your data.

The PlayStation 5 is beginning its global rollout, with Sony’s new system now available in New Zealand, Australia, and select other timezones. Alongside the system comes numerous launch titles, including one that’s available through PlayStation Plus at no additional cost: Bugsnax. This is the first PS5 Plus game, and players who don’t yet have Sony’s next-gen system yet might be wondering if they can claim it before they get the console.

The good news is that you absolutely can, as long as you have a valid PS Plus subscription. Once the game hits the service in your region, visiting its PlayStation Store page while logged into your account will allow you to claim it. We can confirm that the game is currently live on the store page in Australia, and we’ve claimed it without logging into a PS5.

This has long been possible with PS4 games, too, but if you’re used to claiming games through your console–or simply suspected that you’d need to own the PS5 console first–you might not have been aware of this.
