Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed trademarks for PS6, PS7, PS8, PS9 and PS10 in Japan. It seems silly but Sony is future proofing by securing short names of their consoles for many generations to come. For example, both PS4 and PS5 were trademarked all the back in 2006 (yes, its been that long ago).
Sony’s upcoming console, the PlayStation 5, releases in 2020. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for more of the latest Japanese gaming news!

Since 2012, EA has yet to put out a game on Valve’s service outside of a few Sims 3 expansions the following year. Up until now they’ve been releasing games on their exclusive Origin launcher but that’s about to change soon because the publisher is now teasing a return to the platform.

It was first spotted by @RobotBrush on Twitter who saw an Origin test app on SteamDB. Soon after, both the Dragon Age 2 and The Saboteur pages surfaced with recent updates applied. Dragon Age 2 was previously sold on Steam up until 2014 while The Saboteur was never sold on the platform. Based on these observations, it seems like EA’s return to Steam will focus on older titles first but don’t be surprised if we get newer titles as well. Especially considering that several games have been delisted over the last couple of years. These include Alice Madness Returns, Battlefield 2 and The Godfather 1 & 2. Stay tuned for more info.
