Official PlayStation Podcast Episode 517: Surprising News – PlayStation Blog

Sure thing, let’s dive in. So, here’s the scoop for this week. Sid and Tim are back on the mic, chit-chatting about how System Shock 2 basically set the stage for, like, endless gaming evolutions. Or something. Honestly, the nostalgia is real. Makes me feel old, but in a good way… sorta. I mean, who saw this coming at Summer Game Fest 2025, right? Oh, and speaking of adventures, their gaming tales? Top-notch stuff, as usual.

Now, they’re cherry-picking some stuff, like what we’ll be playing next week. Ever heard of “Ruffy And The Riverside” on PS5? Yeah, neither have I until now. Then there’s a remastered System Shock 2 for PS4 and PS5—cue the cheering. Also, any Black Desert fans out there? They’ve got something for you too. And the big one, “Death Stranding 2: On The Beach” for PS5. Why am I imagining beaches and delivery boxes? Weird brain moments, you know?

Promos? Let’s hit those discounts! PS Store’s Mid-Year Deals—great savings, or so they’d like us to believe, until July 2. Grab what you can if saving’s your game.

Then there’s this intriguing little bit—Ghost of Yōtei. Sucker Punch is diving into the wilds of Hokkaido to check out some ancient foraging tricks. Sounds handy, if you’re into that kinda survival thing. Also, they’re spinning climate science into an interactive tale on PS5 with Climate Station. Yeah, it’s a thing.

Okay, anyway—oh shoot, Sid and Tim. Almost forgot. These two, rocking it as usual. Sid Shuman, the big cheese of Content Communications at SIE, and Tim Turi, who’s all about that Content Comms life too. What’s that like anyway? Probably busy, I’d imagine.

And a shoutout to Dormilón, the genius behind our theme song—that catchy tune that’s possibly stuck in your head right now. Catchy, isn’t it?

Before I lose my train of thought, a lil’ editor’s tidbit here—game release dates might do their own thing, just a heads-up. Press releases and ESRB ratings, all that jazz.

Alright, that’s all I got. Or, wait—did I miss something? Anyway, catch you guys later!
