Starfield makes its highly anticipated jump to the PlayStation 5, bringing exclusive console features that I am eager to test with my extensive gaming experience. Bethesda has officially unveiled the integration of the DualSense controller, taking full advantage of the adaptive triggers to enhance combat immersion. According to the recent Starfield PS5 features trailer released by PlayStation, players will also experience color coding on the controller to indicate health status and hear voice logs directly through the controller speaker.
The launch on PlayStation 5 also coincides with the arrival of fresh content, as Starfield will be releasing alongside a brand-new Story DLC on April 7, 2026. This expansion provides the perfect excuse for both veterans and newcomers to dive back into the cosmos and explore new frontiers with improved hardware feedback.
How to join the upcoming survival tests for State of Decay 3 is currently the top priority for fans of the zombie apocalypse franchise. The developers have emphasized their commitment to community feedback, actively listening to the player base following the release of State of Decay 2 to ensure the sequel is as polished as possible. Players can watch the official Alpha Playtest announcement video from IGN for a glimpse of the action and then sign up for the State of Decay 3 playtest directly on their website.
Participating in the alpha test guarantees your place in line for future survival sessions, even if you are not selected right away. The initial round of testing is scheduled to begin in May 2026, and the developers have assured fans that unselected names will remain on the list for subsequent tests. State of Decay 3 will be launching on Xbox Series X|S and PC, though an official release date has yet to be confirmed.
The classic horror experience of the Resident Evil Original Trilogy is now available on Steam for PC gamers. While these optimized ports of the original PC Resident Evil trilogy launched on GOG a couple of years ago as completely DRM-free titles, the new Steam versions come with a controversial catch. As discussed in a video by Twin Cherry Studio about the Capcom release, the highly affordable Steam iterations include DRM software, which has sparked debates among the survival horror community, even as nostalgic fans revisit the original 1999 Resident Evil 3 Nemesis trailer to celebrate.
The inclusion of anti-piracy software has caused noticeable performance issues in recent gaming history, making this addition a point of concern for purists. Although DRM is designed to prevent piracy, developers have occasionally had to backtrack due to community backlash. A notable example occurred when Capcom had to pull Enigma DRM from the Resident Evil 4 Remake following performance complaints, reminding players that modern security measures can sometimes hinder classic gameplay experiences.
