This week we have a lot going on with sales figures for Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and PS5 hardware. Which thus far, is actually on a downward trend year-on-year. We also have Sony updating the console with new multiplayer features, AND enhancing the redesigned Explore Tab which is still in beta. Now if you thought all of that was nuts, then wait till you hear about what happened this week with Stellar Blade. Oh, and also Housemarque! Man, there's so much news this week. It might be better if you just watch this thing so I can stop typing this description.

dont ever think these episodes are insignificant, this is the only channel that i watch that consistently uploads high quality playstation updates
Exactly!!! This guy is awesome. Perfect to watch while sipping a morning coffee or something.
Mystic the community loves u man 🤟
Absolutely Agree. Ryan is one of the most hardworking, no bullshit, honest youtubers out there.
Damn so my boy from psready ain’t good enough for you?
@@cloudx7671 bruh i watched psready for a while as well but he got so clickbaity and annoying to watch
“Welcome back to another insignificant episode” bro what?!? lol I look forward to this EVERY week 😂
Same! I always sit have a drink, chill and watch 😂
lol
Same, this is peak gaming news!
@@LegendMillzz nice 😎 I got out of work early today so I made a quick Dunkin’ run on the way home, and watched his vid while chillin’ with my cats!
@@rudzeihanrosdee309 it really is! Especially if you’re a PS main. Nobody I’ve followed over the years goes nearly as in-depth as Ryan. I friggin’ love it lol

Love to hear it lol
*"It is Friday (insert month and day), let's talk PlayStation."
😂
I say it along with him every time lmao
kids
" welcome back, everyone, to another insignificant episode of LTPS "
Dude, this series is responsible for mostly of my english learning, i even let Ryan's uploads playing on the background as white noise, i've literally learned a language just because this guy likes to buy lots of games 😂😅
For reference:
PlayStation 5 sold around 550K units in March in the United States (this year), surpassing the sales figures of any March for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
Last year, the PlayStation 5 sold 660K units; the numbers are simply too substantial to keep increasing indefinitely.
Well said 👍🏽
As a Client Delivery Executive myself for the IT industry, believe me, neither my CFO or my Stakeholders care if the numbers were too high for us to keep up with the trend.
We care about revenue and units, this will translate to software sales and subcriptions. They need to ask themselves (and im sure they are) "Do we need to look at the price of our console? do we need to incentivice its sale by adding a free game or a month's subcription? Good games were launched on our end, so definetely they dropped the ball somewhere".
The number of units dropped compared to last year, and they had it all in order to see an increase.
So nope, sorry but believe me, thats not a valid explanation.
More people in the world with more access to stores/shipping
@@fernandomartinez4486 aka "We demand more!, More!, MORE!, *MORE* !" regardless of the future, the longevity, or what happens when you take that mentality to its logical conclusion!
Thanks for nothing "Client Delivery Executive", you're *totally* not the problem, everyone else is, right?
100% right. This is where YoY sales data isn’t always useful, context is important.
Another reason Helldivers 2 sold so well is because it was actually fairly priced as opposed to most games this generation.
Well, it's more like an app on the ps5, because you need ps+ and because it's a live service game, it makes more sense that more people are buying on pc.
Games are less expensive right now than they ever have been. If the price of games kept up with inflation the average game would cost over $100 right now. Do I wish they were cheaper? Of course, but let's be fair. We're getting more for our money than EVER, by a long shot.
@@mrkevinhaughey Not to mention before PS1 or let's say before PS2 majority of the games especially many cartridge games already cost 100+ games at that time
@@mrkevinhaugheyyou’re looking at it from an economic standpoint, but games are also a lot more greedy and unfinished than ever before as well so they would never even justify a bigger price than 70 bucks lol
@@gelo888 even taking that into consideration we’ve still never gotten more for our money. And that’s what the post I responded to was referring to, economics.
I just want to see my friend's screenshots like I was able to on PS4
Arthur Gies has always been a huge Xbox fanboy. I’m highly suspicious of any claim he makes about PS games being day and date on PC.
Playstation games coming day/date to PC is every Xbox fanboys wet dream right now, as they’re still upset about the Xbox brand losing it’s exclusives, and they desperately want Playstation to be in the same boat.
What a legend doing this for so long. Quite shocking that Greg Miller and Blessing didn’t know of your existence
Colin did though, he had him on and it was awesome!
What episode was that in? Blessings has definitely referenced Ryan before so he’s likely just being forgetful.
@@themightyant. The last episode of PS I Love you in minute 13:40 and 15:50
Kudos to all those who don"t fall asleep playing Fallout 4
😂😂 I feel that
They should have given us fallout 3 instead
There should be a double thumbs up for this 😄
Omg so true 😂 I mean I love the game but damn, it can be so boring sometimes
For the 30% drop in PS5 sales it makes sense. we must not forget that compared with last year and the first 3 months of 2023 we are a historic record in terms of sales. To put it simply, Sony sold 6.3 million PS5s worldwide in Q1 2023 while in general we are around 3 million. So yes it makes sense to have a -30% this month
I highly recommend Tunic as well. If you have not played it, you must! The game is truly unique and magical. Beating it feels like a true accomplishment.

Weird how Days Gone sold more than Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne yet was apparently considered too much of a failure for a sequel. And that was a new IP from a not very well known dev too, beating the highest selling Uncharted
Yeah, it makes ZERO sense from Sony! I would have loved a sequel...
was looking for this comment. its a shame honestly. its my favorite ps exclusive and it gets treated like shit by Sony
Yeah I personally loved Days Gone. But unfortunately it seems like Sony has no faith in it such a shame I always felt Days Gone had the potential to be the next great franchise.
Blame IGN for us not getting Days Gone 2

The new explore tab is actually pretty cool! Hoping to get it soon.
it's US only feature 😡
@@kill3rbyysight I’m in the U.S but Rip to those that aren’t. I’m sure other countries will get it at some point, if they keep it U.S exclusive that’s pretty dumb
I find it weird that people are kicking up such a fuss about Stellar Blade when Bayonetta has always had a free pass lol she is naked and wraps her hair around her body as clothes?
Never say it is insignificant, man! Great content here brought in a really nicely presentation. I am from Brazil and it is great to see some beta / next features to be launched that you have access to and also the ones you don't have access to (like for EPAC only or so) but you run an extra mile to bring to us! Really cool!
Just Platinumed The PS5 version of Fallout 4. As a fanboy it was a reminder that Bethesda never changes.
Currently working on Stellar Blade. I have always wanted to play as an OnlyFans model in an sci fi apocalypse
@@unicorntomboy9736lol
@@UltimateInkling The game needed a one handed mode
Well Bethesda changed...Starfield wasn't a good game.😅
Honestly if Sony doesn't roll out the new Explore tab for everyone they are crazy! It looks so good.
With Horizon, remember they did the same with Spider-Man. Removed the PS4 version when the PS5 remaster was finally released separately. As for TLOU, that is a big difference. Horizon is potentially just a remaster/upgrade like Spidey was, TLOU was a full blown remake, so was no need to remove the PS4 version seeing that in itself was a remaster of the PS3 game.
remake??? yeah right hahahaha
Horizon Zero Dawn getting a PS5 remaster has been rumoured a couple of years now
You ever think it's strange *nobody* was asking for *another* lazy rehash (cashgrab) of something we literally haven't gone without long enough to even feel nostalgia for?
@@jessekoepp3928 its for the show by amazon
You ever think that there are millions of potential customers who haven't played the game yet, and would love an updated version instead of the old one?
Yo bro, just wanted to say I really appreciate your channel and the work you’ve put in over the years! 👍🏾
Massive respect from the uk 🇬🇧 👊🏾
It's friday people, happy weekend!
The sales data for all of the games is pretty neat. Mostly expected stuff but a couple surprises here and there.
Not insignificant. Unique perspective from someone who def does the research. I appreciate you Ryan.
Came here to say just to say I’ve been following your channel for 3 years about 3 years now. I’m just now playing jak and daxter for the first time on the ps3 collection. This is probably now one of my favorite games of all time
releasing single player games day and date on PC means lower quality games. Many devs have voiced the benefits of focused development for one device. Potentially more money for Sony but less quality games for console owners.
The only thing I want for ps5 is “ Folders” and able “stream ps4/5 in discord. “ without needing app or having doing on pc.
I wish there was some update or external device for PS - PS3 backward compatibility.
@@dr.pepperphdindeliciousnes1396
Yeah that’s not going happen. Their was rumours they were working on emulation but that was years ago, prob had too many issue. Ps3 used IBM CELL Cpu with very old Nvidia gpu. Would require too much recoding to get games work fully correctly with Zen 2/RDNA 2 Gpu.
What you mean by external devices? If your talking portable HDD/SSD? That already works fine now. It’s how I played many of my old ps4 games off old 500 GB HDD. Moved all ps4 games to USB HDD. Till I was able upgrade my ps5 with nvme 1 TB Ssd.
@@SireDragonChester Honestly, emulation shouldn't be an issue. There are PCs that emulate PS1,2,3 games that are less powerful than a PS5. Sony's just greedy and young consumers are dumb enough to buy remakes and remasters instead of putting their foot down and demanding backward compatibility. By external devices, I meant some sort of external disc drive that could read the older CDs.
@@dr.pepperphdindeliciousnes1396
Ah yeah external disc player wouldn’t be need. Ps5 blu ray is already capable of reading old ps1/2/3 discs. Consider ps3 was first blu ray player back in what 2006? It would just come down to good emulation software. I know it’s would be possible. Emu for ps1/2 isn’t the issue. It would be ps3 games that would cause issue. As many the studio that were around back then. Most them are dead now.
Yes it’s possible run ps3 games on ps5. Just getting run many game to run good enough is the issue.
All I want after that explorer update is trophy list sorting/pinning!
I was honestly fooled by the title. I thought it was telling me that PS5 is releasing a new update with a different look.
It's an upgrade, just like it says in the title.
Honestly, I'm kinda surprised with how high the Gravity Rush games are
I can keep dreaming, but I really want a third game and a PS5 remaster of GR2.
TGIF and another episode of LTPS, we love to see it ❤
Happy friday everyone😊
Happy Friday, my good dude. 🙂👍
I hope everything goes smooth and pleasant. Have fun! ☺️
Oof! Hearing you saying "another insignificant episode of LTPS" was rough, its without a doubt my favourite weekly show
This is the best video game channel on CZcams all about Sony Playstation consoles and gaming! Keep doing great things and posting high quality videos Ryan! Been subscribed for years now and the quality of the content and all the material keeps getting better and improving every year!!!
Stellar Blade is actually a very, very good game. It does a lot of the things that people have been asking for. It's original. It's taking a lot of risks. There are no microtransactions. It was a finished product at launch. The devs clearly made a game with passion, not cash in mind.
Yet, people are overlooking this game because of nonsense.
I'm no lifing it and still missing two camps xD I think they're two phones out in the Great Desert but I'll find them 😋
Appreciate your vids Ryan. LTPS is a part of my Friday routine
My only problem is that you can barely see the background.. I wonder if with the customization, can you make all the tiles small so that the background is more visible? That would be perfect.
i don’t even own a PS5 nor do i intend to anytime soon but these are still some of my most looked forward to videos each week!!
thank u for the grind 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Ryan I finally! Got me the PlayStation Portal and it was the last one left in stock too and I was able to get one and k was super darn lucky too Ryan bro 😎
This outfits aren't even the most revealing outfits in the game so it definitely isn't censorship. I believe them. I just wish they didn't cut the blood splatter on Eve when she cuts aliens apart.
There's outfits where she has mini skirts that result in the player constantly lookinh up her skirt when she walks and specially when she runs, it's wild and I can't get used to it 😂
I dont understand why they would censor gore/blood from a rated M game
Ikr! I was seeing articles about people getting no questions asked refunds because TWO whole outfits are slightly less sexy than the trailer, and it''s like, guys, can we demand refunds on games that are actually misleading with their advertising? Or just come out completely broken.
@@goncaloduarte4683I use Black Pearl or Red Pearl most, if you just angle on a ladder you see her froo around the gusset as it were. So many snowflakes have been all in a huff over Ocean Maid and the Holiday Rabbit/ Bunny outfits and refunding for them... so dumb
I have the collection version of Fallout 4 and it still just lists it as the PS4 version for me.
Sony is not Nintendo who is more family oriented. This is a M18 game why censor such things seriously?! Grow up lol.
They didn’t censor tlou2 which was a gore fest of a game
Sony didn't censor Stellar Blade. Sony approved D1 Edition of Stellar Blade and got negative responses of IGN&Co
I think it makes absolute sense that console sales are down. Here in Germany last year this time around every department store was blowing on all horns that they finally have PS5 in stock. So everyone who still didn’t have one but wanted to buy did so (including myself). And it’s the middle of the lifecycle, of course sales will be down. But I guess not every business analyst can see that two plus two equals four.
It's mental 3 years on and the Explore tab is still US accounts only...
Ryan...LTPS and your channel is the very best on CZcams...they are far from being insignificant!
Its worring
Arthur Gies is not a reliable source for rumors. He was one of the guys pushing the idea that the XB1 had some secret software update that would make it way more powerful than the PS4 last gen.
Fallout 4 upgrade isn't available for me from my Plus licence. All that's available is the PS4/PS5 catalogue licence, which would overwrite my original Plus Collection licence.
I hope Sony gets Paramount because it could be a link to owning the Star Trek IP and that IP has been SEVERLY underdeveloped for their video games titles.
Ryan, we appreciate every upload. Especially LTPS!!
Glad to see TLOUPII in the Top 3 when it came to overall revenue! GOTY 2020 🐐
This is in no way an “insignificant” episode of LTPS
Always look forward to Friday LTPS 😊
Sony does offer a disk drive now though which I’m sure helps I got my digital addition during the holiday sales for 399 then just waited like 4 months to have now finally grabbed a disk drive i’m sure I spent more in the end but like you said with economy at the time that was the best deal for me so I wouldn’t be too concerned yet if you buy a digital system you are not completely locked into the PS store yet you have the option to grab disks and a drive later unlike xbox
Another great video!! Hope y’all have a good morning watching this one.
That sales data reminds me of how many PlayStation Exclusives they are. And that is impressive.
I'm still waiting for the Explore tab update.
Gonna sound pity again here, I love your content, videos and opinions on video Games especially PlayStation, can you please get a mic? Sound it’s so low compared to any other videos I watch daily, Thank you and keep up the great work Ryan! 👍🏼 👍🏼
I feel like I have an unpopular opinion but I like staggered releases like console first and PC later or vice versa because 9 time out of 10 the quality of the game ends up being much better. I feel like when you have to split your engineers to push two or more platforms all at the same time we end up with lesser quality.
I don’t understand why we don’t have the Discover page on the PlayStation in Canada. I don’t know why it has to be exclusive to the states
Still don't have the explore tab update 😭
This week has gone with Stellar Blade. Always learning curve with boss battles. I also got that special Double Jump skill. Thanks for weekly Playstation news!
Days Gone made $100M on digital alone and they shelfed the franchise? That's ridiculous its the 13th top earner wth
it's just impossible to comprehend...makes no sense!
Probably dont want competition for tlou
@@plaidchuck The reviews killed it bro
@@Warona.Gaanakgomothe game was a buggy mess when it launched.
@@tomohawkcloud yea that as well
Ghostrunner was my favorite game i played last year, and ghost runner 2 is looking to be my favorite game i played this year. It being free on psplus is big
It's good to see all these new Playstation titles selling well.
It makes complete sense that hardware revenue is down because of two reasons. First of all, people are struggling to pay the bills in general atm. So buying a gaming console is kinda low on the priorities list right now. But secondly, they really haven't dropped the price of these consoles sufficiently. PS4 was at times 50% off in its 4th year on the market. PS5 first got more expensive, but then when they did do discounts, it would only be like 10% off (compared to the original launch price). The slim console is more expensive (in Europe) than the original version was at launch. It makes no sense from a consumer's perspective.
10:36
*That avatar is from ModNation Racers.*
*Might be a hint of a new game?*
I have a disc console, but have never put a disc in it. In fact, I haven’t bought a disc since the 360/PS3 days. If the Pro offers a digital only console, then I plan to save some money and get that.
I play my PS4 discs on mine, mostly Gundam Breaker 4: Break Edition
Great to be here for another week!
Hi Ryan, I imagine sales of PS5 console are also down due the constant rumours about a PS5 Pro possible release as it's likely to make quite a lot of people wait for it to be released, how sure are you it's definitely coming? this year? Thanks for the great informative videos every week.
I’m enjoying some of the updates that Sony is bringing into the ps5 ecosystem. I really wish they’d work with apple on a remote play like Spotify has to control music while gaming. Random but one of my little first world issues
21:17 - It's not _just_ the outfits, it's also that they toned down the gore and completely removed the aspect of how it no longer appears when it sprays on her. Other characters in other games get covered in blood, that's an aspect of the game that shouldn't have been removed, especially since we see it in games like Baldur's Gate and Witcher and TLOU. They told us who purchased that we'd get that, and they lied. That's the issue.
I think that was due to the SM2 slim bundle (digital) which was $399.99
Happy Friday ‼️
Really wish Canada had the explore tab
The explore tab and widgets look great. If you hear about any UK release/update info, please let us know! 👍🏼
I bought fallout when it was on sale for 4.79 and I was chilling and had no problems 🤙🏼
Do you expect a price drop coming soon on consoles considering the low sales of q1, or do we need to wait offers and bundles of holiday season 2024?
@Mystic Here in the UK on PS5 we do not have a "Explore" option on the system. Just thought you should know unless you are aware of this. Can't say for other countries. 🙂
Same as Ireland I hope that wallpaper/widget feature comes to both the UK/Ireland
Explore tab is only available in America if your not American you don't get it Mystic actually said that a month ago.
Where is the game sale data available to view?
Dude I love every episode of this show ❤ nothing insignificant about it
I'm wondering if the latest Steam link requirement to PSN accounts for PC purchases of Helldivers 2 will allow the earning of PSN PC trophies.
I’d love to see that data for all games and not just Sony published titles
That new home screen layout looks awesome!
Infamous still did well, kinda surprised expected it to be higher, maybe that's why we never had a remaster
My God I want that updated Explore tab.
Do we know when everyone will get the updated explore tab without being on the beta in North America?
Don’t see Day & Date Single player but GAAS-yes
Why is the explore section only available in the US?
I get that it’s just a bundle, but it’s insane to think that a video game listing only sold 10 copies. Imagine how often extremely low numbers like that pop up on something like steam
I'm one of those 94,000 people who bought Bound on PS4. I loved that game, lol
Love these videos man
The stella blade costumes should just be a toggle in game. If flesh offends you toggle it away.
If Sony buys out Paramount, then we might see way more content on that movie/show app. I forget the name. But that would trickle down to free content for PS+ users. It also could mean the Paramount subscription would eventually fade out and be replaced with an all Sony one. That's my guess. Every company wants a streaming app. Sony now has theirs and just would need to add the content.
Really hope the explore tab comes to the UK
Seriously, we need that EXPLORE tab worldwide
Is there an actual reason explore hasn't come to the UK yet? Only been nearly 4 years.
just let us have wallpapers and folders back
it'd also be nice to have the friends list back where you could see which games they're playing. the friends list tab seems so hidden now
Regarding the Digital Consoles...
I have a PS4 in my living room, when I just want to pop in a disc and play or if I want to watch a movie. That's the only disc console I have. Other than that I only have the Xbox Series S and the PS5 Digital. Especially since here where I live, you don't pay 50 bucks more for a disc drive, but instead you pay 100 bucks more. And I can save these, and still play most of my favorite games.
Oh and I'm not bound to the PS Store. I have my ways of getting codes for very cheap.
can't wait for Lost Soul Aside. been waiting for sooooooo long
For the PC releases, it sounds like there aren't enough people double-dipping to justify the cost of two marketing pushes a year apart
I don't know if HD2 success when it comes to PC would be replicated by every 1st party party game if it released on PC day one. HD2 is a co-op mulitplayer game. The fact that it is extremely co-op focused probably played a big part in why it found the success it did. A single player game like GOW, Ghost, SM, etc. isn't going to have be impacted by word of mouth the same way HD2 was and probably won't find the same success on PC because they are not multiplayer games. Single player games also don't live or die based on player numbers. The PC game audience also don't really play single player games.
I'm not saying Sony will never go day and date of course, just pointing out that the success of HD2 does not automatically mean every single 1st PS game will be just as successful if they go to PC day one.
Also piracy
