Since last November, both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have been officially on sale. But there is a small chance that you have actually managed to get hold of one of these consoles.

And they do, partly because the PC industry is also booming at the moment. cannot meet the high demand for the chips. How does JJ view this situation and what are the consequences? Will the consoles soon be in the shops in larger numbers or will it take a while before gamers can call themselves massive owners of a next-gen console.

With titles such as The Last of Us Part 2 in God of War the company is the proud owner of two of the best-received games of the past few years. Of course we know that Santa Monica Studios is working on God of War Ragnarok and there is also a multiplayer component for The Last of Us 2. But it now seems that both studios have started working on all new IPs at the same time. . How do we know that? That’s what the Play Button is for.
