On this week’s episode of PS This is Awesome!, we’re diving headfirst into a stacked lineup of PlayStation news and rumors. Resident Evil Requiem continues its monster success story, hitting an incredible 7 million copies sold in just two months, while Capcom teases a new mini-game mode arriving soon—possibly something action-packed in the spirit of Mercenaries. On top of that, a brand-new single-player story expansion has officially entered full production.
We also break down growing concerns over a newly discovered PS5 digital ownership issue, where some recently purchased games may require periodic online DRM checks to launch. If true, it raises serious questions about long-term preservation and access for digital libraries.
Meanwhile, Insomniac Games says more Wolverine news is still coming this spring, adding fuel to rumors of a possible May State of Play showcase. Could Logan finally be ready to step into the spotlight?
Elsewhere, fresh interviews continue to reveal behind-the-scenes drama at Naughty Dog, including reports that Uncharted 4 was nearly canceled during its troubled development. We also discuss comments from former devs praising the canceled The Last of Us Online, calling it one of the best multiplayer games they’d ever worked on.
Plus: a first teaser for the next Alien: Isolation, Mina: The Hollower goes gold but still lacks a release date, and Troy Baker may be stepping into game development himself. Big stories, bold speculation, and plenty of PlayStation hype—this week on PS This is Awesome!
