Here at PlayStation Productions, we strive to introduce our notable gaming IP to new audiences and we recognize that adapting video games from their interactive medium to another is no simple task. In the case of The Last of Us show on HBO, this meant retelling a story beloved by fans of the game in a faithful yet compelling way for TV. Thankfully the show’s top-tier creators were up to the exciting challenge, combining decades of shared experience making video games and TV shows.
We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive reception so far and as we near the finale in the next few weeks, I’m delighted to introduce the latest chapter in Sony’s Creator to Creator series for the Last of Us. This two-part series features the creators and cast reflecting on their time working on the games and show. The participants include:
Neil Druckmann, Executive Producer / Co-President at Naughty Dog

February has come and gone, and with it came some spectacular new games, including new PS VR2 releases. Which new game will take the Players’ Choice crown? The polls are open now, place your vote below to help decide!
How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation.Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. Soon thereafter, we’ll close the polls, tally your votes, and announce the winner at PlayStation.Blog. PlayStation Store will also showcase some top Players’ Choice winners throughout the year.

Today we’re happy to reveal the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for March. As announced at last week’s State of Play, the Monthly Games lineup of Battlefield 2042, Minecraft Dungeons and Code Vein will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, March 7 until Monday April 3.
Let’s take a closer look at each of the games in turn.
Battlefield 2042 is an exhilarating first-person shooter that marks the return of the iconic all-out warfare the franchise is well known for. Set in a near-future world transformed by disorder, you’ll have to adapt and overcome dynamic battlegrounds with the help of your squad and an arsenal of...
When the originalDead Space released back in 2008, it offered a unique experience that skillfully blended elements of sci-fi and horror. It became an instant classic worldwide, and is now regarded as one of the best survival horror games ever made. Accompanying the release was a trailer so unique that it became an iconic piece of media in itself: the Lullaby Trailer.
Combining haunting vocals with chilling scenes of horror, the trailer perfectly captured the atmosphere of the game. The trailer introduced the USG Ishimura, the doomed mining ship that acts as the main setting for the game. It was such an evocative and memorable introduction that fans instantly fell in love with it. In fact, it was so effective that similar trailers were created for later games in the franchise.
More than a decade later, our team started work on the...
Hey there, this is Alex Tintor, co-founder of Blue Isle Studios. We’re launching a new game called Leapthat has major mod support…something that is pretty near and dear to my heart.
I got my first taste of modding at ten years old, when I started making mods for the Command & Conquer series of games. I worked on the Command & Conquer:Red Alert map editor which I continued to collaborate on with a group of others through my high school years with the Blitzkrieg 2 mod for Command & Conquer: Generals. I met my colleague and studio co-founder Brenden years down the road when Starcraft 2 came out with an impressive set of modding tools. I was on a mission to start a total conversion modding project and had been told I needed to connect with Brenden.
Together at Blue Isle Studios, we have brought numerous games to market over the past decade and have always...

The Midgar Special Pack is available today for free for all PowerWash Simulator players.
It includes five new levels based on iconic vehicles and locations from the world of Final Fantasy.
I went hands-on to tell you about every new addition.
When PowerWash Simulator launched in July of 2022, I initially dismissed it as just another sim game. When it began topping the charts, trending on social media, and skyrocketing in popularity, I decided to give it a shot — and was immediately hooked. After I completed the campaign and cleaned up nearly every achievement, I wound up having a conversation with a fellow fan about the endless collaboration opportunities available to the game, and potential expansions I hoped to see.
Fast forward to present day and my PowerWash Simulator dreams are coming true, as FuturLab...
