Sony made its first big PS5 announcement today with a 70-minute show that debuted over 25 games that we’ll be seeing on the newest PlayStation when it launches later this year.

What We’re Playing

Colby: theHunter, Minecraft Dungeons, Diablo 3, Skyrim
Cliff: Mass Effect Andromeda
Dylan: BBQ Simulator

Sony Press Conference

These are Cliff’s notes, taken in real-time. Make of that what you will.

First off, damn these pre-recorded conferences need subtitles. There is literally no reason they can’t have subtitles.

  • Free GTA Online and a bunch of GTA Online Cash
