MLB The Show 26 Headlines a Surprisingly Underwhelming PlayStation Plus Month

Published by Miika Tikkanen

September is a big month for PlayStation owners, with Marvel’s Wolverine leading the pack when it comes out on Sept. 15. For PlayStation Plus subscribers, however, the monthly lineup is a little less exciting. Baseball fans should get plenty of mileage out of MLB The Show 26, while Sniper Elite: Resistance offers a solid option for players who enjoy slower, more methodical action.

The PS5 console, controller and console covers will all cost more than the current elevated price tag for PlayStation 5 hardware and accessories, but they’ll likely still sell out quickly. The PS5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle comes in a distinctly Wolverine yellow.

Older video game consoles from the ’90s might not have the same level of fancy graphics or perform as well as the expensive beasts of today.One advantage they do have—they were built with repairability in mind. That modularity means they tend to have a longer shelf life, and makes them ripe for tinkering and modding for those so inclined. Elliot Coll, a YouTuber who runs the channel Retro Future, is one of those  tinkerers. His most recent project: taking a trashed and neglected original PlayStation and upgrading it with an assortment of modern bells and whistles. It’s like the video game enthusiast version of restoring old muscle cars with modern parts that make them more drivable—and less likely to blow up in smoke. In this case, Coll outfitted a three-decade-old device with 1080p HDMI output, SD card game loading, a wireless controller, and USB-C charging. The end result, he says, is the “ultimate PS1.” I Built the Ultimate PlayStation …
