Sony shared a teaser video on social media showing the outline of over-ear headphones with a curved headband, a metallic hinge, and part of one ear cup. The teaser caption indicates an announcement scheduled for May 19 at 9 AM PST. The hinge design shown in the video appears different from the mechanism used on the Sony WH-1000XM6, aligning with earlier leaked renders of the rumoured The ColleXion Headphones.

Sony hasn't detailed the specs sheet of the Xperia I VIII yet, but thanks to leaked renders, we know what the smartphone will look like. It will feature a notchless display on the front and sport a triple-camera setup on the rear, aligned in an upside-down L layout.

Sony's home theater products are optimized for its latest-gen gaming console. Compatible Sony TVs and soundbars work together to automatically reduce picture and audio latency and improve picture quality when gaming on the PlayStation 5.

"Beginning June 2026, if you have not completed age verification, you can continue playing on PlayStation, but some features won't be available until you verify your age."

The job listing talks about designing and building a 'new server architecture', alongside taking a project 'from proof of concept to productization.' This suggests something more involved is in the works.

Following the acquisition, the Cinemersive Labs team will join SIE's Visual Computing Group (VCG) and contribute to our broader efforts in advancing state of the art visual computing within games. This includes applying machine learning to enhance gameplay visuals, improve rendering techniques, and unlock new levels of visual fidelity for players.

A severe shortage of NAND flash, driven by the enormous demand for it to expand AI data centers, makes procurement impossible. Sony is currently unable to fulfill orders for CFexpress Type A, CFexpress Type B, and SDXC/SDHC memory cards.

Sony's new filing describes a smartphone mounted directly onto a DualSense controller, with the phone functioning as a live secondary input device. Its touchscreen, motion sensors, and hardware would all be available to developers as genuine control surfaces, feeding into the game in real time rather than simply mirroring it.

A while back, a team was assembled to pitch a remaster of Jak & Daxter. I was asked to animate an IGC shot-for-shot, to show what this updated version would look like.

"Under our precedents, a company is not liable as a copyright infringer for merely providing a service to the general public with knowledge that it will be used by some to infringe copyrights," Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the court.

The Bravia 3 II mid-range LED TV features the XR processor, granting access to Sony's proprietary Clear Image algorithm, auto HDR tone mapping, and more.

The PlayStation-backed Helldivers movie will release on November 10, 2027 with Justin Lin of the Fast and Furious franchise directing. Momoa and Lin previously collaborated on Fast X which was critically-panned but did fine at the box office. That over-the-top franchise certainly has parallels to Arrowhead Game Studios' sci-fi parody of inter-galactic war that's loosely inspired by Starship Troopers, but deftly nailing the same tone as the hit PS5 and PC extraction shooter won't be easy.
