🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformGameStop Is Trying To Capitalize On PS5's Reported New Online Requirement
It appears that Sony has implemented a new feature requiring PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to connect to the internet(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-users-report-new-online-license-checks-for-digital-games/1100-6539651/) every 30 days to renew the license on digital games they've purchased. Players who have stumbled into this odd feature are saying all PlayStation Store purchases made after March 2026 now feature a 30-day timer showing how long players have until they must connect to the internet and renew the game's license. Players who fail to do so within the time limit will lose the ability to play recent digital purchases until the game's license is renewed via internet connection. Sony hasn't made any official announcements about this--it's possible it could be a bug--but GameStop is already capitalizing on the bad press surrounding Sony's digital game license timers. "Play really has no limits at GameStop," the company shared in a recent X post(https://x.com/gamestop/status/2049185493791940641) referencing the PS5's 'Play Has No Limits' tagline. "We believe that games should work for players, not against them. If you own it, you should be able to play it anytime, anywhere, whether you are online or offline." Urging players to "start a real collection you can play, share, and trade," GameStop is offering a deal where customers can get a 10% discount when purchasing two to three preowned games, a 20% discount when purchasing four to five, or a whopping 30% when purchasing six or more preowned physical titles.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformRockstar Wants You To Make Its Next Great GTA Online Mission
Rockstar has just announced a new series of Grand Theft Auto Online(https://www.gamespot.com/games/grand-theft-auto-online/) missions created by players using Rockstar's Mission Creator tool(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-use-the-mission-creator-in-gta-online/1100-6536899/), which was first added to the game back in December(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-use-the-mission-creator-in-gta-online/1100-6536899/).

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformPreorders For The Official Death Stranding 2 Novelization Are Live
!(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squareavatar/1701/17013431/4688690-ds2bookmod.jpg) Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - The Official Novelization (Paperback)(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) $19 | Releases October 20, 2026(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Barnes and Noble(https://barnesandnoble.sjv.io/c/1804712/1841124/22009?u=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/death-stranding-2-hitori-nojima/1149817482?ean=9781835418642) After launching on the PlayStation 5 last summer, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is receiving a novel adaptation. Like the novelization for the original Death Stranding, the Death Stranding 2: On The Beach story is getting two prose volumes, and you can preorder your copy of the first 336-page paperback book at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) and Barnes and Noble(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbarnesandnoble.sjv.io%2Fc%2F1804712%2F1841124%2F22009%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.barnesandnoble.com%252Fw%252Fdeath-stranding-2-hitori-nojima%252F1149817482%253Fean%253D9781835418642&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F&eventtype=click) for $19 (or for $11 as an eBook) before it releases later this year on October 13. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - The Official Novelization (Paperback)(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) $19 | Releases October 20, 2026(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squaremedium/1701/17013431/4688690-ds2bookmod.jpg) Like the first novelization, On the Beach is penned by Hitori Nojima and translated by Carley Radford. And also like the previous, this is a retelling of the events of the game, picking up where Sam Porter Bridges left off after restoring America and vanishing from the public eye. Now joined by Fragile and other allies, Sam's new mission is take rescue humanity from extinction, and will travel from Mexico to Australia to do so. Preorder at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1835418643/?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Barnes and Noble(https://barnesandnoble.sjv.io/c/1804712/1841124/22009?u=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/death-stranding-2-hitori-nojima/1149817482?ean=9781835418642) The Death Stranding 2: On the Beach novelization is being advertised as Volume 1, so it's safe to say that we'll get at least another volume to follow the trend of the first game's novelization, which was divided into two volumes as well. At 332 pages, On the Beach is already significantly longer than the first adaptation's first volume so it'll be interesting to see how far into the game's story this book goes. Luckily, at that page count, it shouldn't take up much space on your bookshelf, and it'll fit nicely next to your physical copies of the games if you prefer to display that way. The cover uses the game's iconic theatrical poster art, which features a collage of Death Stranding 2's cast, and is reminiscent of work by Drew Struzan vibe, who famously did the poster art for the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. While we don't know when the next book in the Death Stranding 2: On The Beach novelization is launching, you can fill the wait by catching up on the 600-page, two-volume novelization of the first game, which is currently available in physical and audiobook editions(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/death-strandings-600-page-novelization-is-free-on-audible/1100-6532805/) via Amazon. Of course, if you're looking to play the game itself, you can also grab Death Stranding 2 on PS5(https://www.amazon.com/Death-Stranding-2-Beach-PlayStation-5/dp/B0F19GPDW3?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) for $59 (was $70) via Amazon.
