Hey y'all... triple matching on giving for Take This. Home stretch on the program. Please help out if you can.

Hey, you... go play Blood Dungeon. It's really fun. Vampire Survivors meets a platformer. Sort of. Lots of fun unlocks.

Just rolled credits SW: Zero Company. Absolutely loved it on PS5 Pro. Great job Bitreactor, Respawn and EA. Great story and characters. Good battle mechanics. It’s not Xcom. It’s its own thing and that’s great. I’d love to see an expansion in the future.

State of Play Confirmed for 3rd September, State of Play Japan Show Straight After

Join the crew at Take This tonight to talk about #gamedev and mental health in this special 2 hour event with Amir Satvat of #ASGC!"

Rolled credits on Halo: Campaign Evolved. A nice walk down memory lane but I had forgotten how much level design repetition there is.

Rolled credits on Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Loved it on my PS5 Pro. Great job @ubisoft.com

🦈 Did you know... a bonnet shark or shovelhead is the smallest member of the hammerhead shark genus 🔨 Sword of the Sea - Available Now! #Sharkweek #SwordoftheSea

I’m not bragging about how brave I am but I ate a Caesar salad today.

Rolled credits on the Adventures of Elliot. Really fun sort of top down Zelda. Lots of exploration. Neat combat mechanics. Give it a shot.

Last week at PlayStation Connect in Huntington Beach, I once again had the pleasure of moderating our Industry Leaders panel which had Hakan Abrak, Amanda Kruse, Abhi Ramprasad and Nate Nanzer all sharing their varied views on the future of our industry. Many thanks to all who participated.

Just catching up. Had a great week in Huntington Beach last week with like 600+ of our partners at PlayStation Partner Connect. Keynotes and 100+ hours of breakouts with our subject matter experts. And I moderated our Industry Leaders panel again. I’ll mention that more when I get the photos. :)

Had another great game at the UEFA Champions League final last night.

A great way to arrive in Florence.

Very excited for this. blog.playstation.com/2026/03/16/u... Note that Cyberpunk PS5 Pro update coming…

Really enjoyed Minishoot Adventures. It’s basically an old school top-down Zelda meets bullet hell twin stick shooter. Me vs. mid-game boss. store.playstation.com/en-us/concep...

Riding into the weekend like… 🏄🌊🏝️ #SwordoftheSea

So after a Shanghai office all-hands last week, the amazing marketing team brought the truck to the office.

I was visiting this team in Chengdu last week. Game is shaping up well. youtu.be/fC182F2Ja0Y?...

Had a great week in China with our passionate SIE team. Some great partner meetings, new developments on China Hero projects and more.

Are you ready for another PS5 gacha sensation? Because that's what Arknights: Endfield is shaping up to be. (Repost)

If you saw the new Sword and Fairy remake and want to learn more about Chinese & Taiwanese RPGs, I wrote an overview of their history & stand-out games back in 2021: felipepepe.medium.com/before-gensh... And the thread below has recommendations of games available in English you can start with :)

Got a 3D Printer (Bambu Labs P1S) just before Christmas and I’ve been obsessed… Printer has run 24 hours a day since. I’m learning tons, I’m organizing all my stuff and having a good time.

Here are the best animated shows and movies of the year.

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Merry Christmas all. May your system updates and game downloads be fast.

GM.

Rolled credits on Cat Quest 3 last night. Highly recommend.

From Bad Robot and the maker of Left 4 Dead comes 4:LOOP, a four-player co-op shooter set in an original sci-fi universe. #TheGameAwards

I was at the Game Awards last night and I think @geoffkeighley.bsky.social really nailed the balance between honoring the awards and being the marketing vehicle that the TGAs typically is, better than any other year I can remember. Some great announcements. Even a one or two that I wasn’t aware of.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Excited to share the announcement of the new game from Mike Booth and the team at Bad Robot Games. My team and I have been working with them for years, and it’s been amazing to see the vision come together. Thrilled that SIE is publishing it. Stay tuned 🎮 sonyinteractive.com/en/press-rel...
