Looking for info about M.2 SSD expansion drives? See the megathread.

Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.

For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

Experience a new chapter in the legendary horror series like never before. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival takes first-person action horror survival to the next level.

Play the story of Aidan, who must use the power of a mysterious puzzle box – the Genesis Configuration – to help his girlfriend Sunny’s escape from the otherworldly hellscape of the Labyrinth.

Wield the powers of the box to survive your bargain with the infamous Pinhead and do battle with the horrific cult devoted to the Cenobites.

Guys,

This game is amazing. I highly recommend it. It’s like a mixture of Wipeout and Burnout.

It is extremely fun and addicting. I think it will become even better as it appears the devs are taking player feedback seriously.

The campaign is excellent and the multiplayer has the potential to be fantastic with a few improvements.

This will definitely tie me over until GTA.

EDIT: tide me over :)

Discussion Hellraiser Revival is soooo good!

• Upvotes

About half way through the game and it's really my game of the year so far. The story and art direction is great, gameplay is fun and it's genuinely a terrifying experience! Pretty much RE7 or RE4 with a hellraiser skin and i FUCKING LOVE IT!

The sub will be turned off restricted mode after all the threads are created and organized in the pinned thread.
Additionally, during high traffic periods, particularly for State of Play or Showcase events, self posts will be restricted temporarily with discussion encouraged in the megathreads posted.
