Razer launches limited edition Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition controller for PS5 with production restricted to 1,337 units

An unofficial project has managed to convert an unlocked PlayStation 5 into a Linux-based device focused on gaming. This system, named PS5 Bazzite Deck, integrates the Bazzite distribution onto the Sony console, featuring the Steam Gaming Mode interface. This initiative marks significant progress compared to earlier attempts to run Linux on video games.

The main goal of the project is to make the console resemble a true 'Steam Machine,' allowing access to the vast library of PC games. The adaptation involves taking the version of Bazzite intended for portable consoles and applying it to the PlayStation 5. Furthermore, users have the option to switch to a full desktop environment using KDE Plasma.

It is important to note that this solution does not correspond to Valve's official SteamOS. Bazzite is an independent Linux distribution that provides a similar experience, utilizing technologies such as Proton to run titles developed for Windows. The operating system boots from external storage, such as an SSD or USB drive, and does not replace the native software provided by Sony; without loading Linux, the PS5 reverts to its original operation.

A demonstration published on YouTube showed the console running the game Forza Horizon 6. This feat is notable because the title, currently available for Xbox Series X/S and PC, is only scheduled for official release on PS5 in January 2027. In addition to this, users have already managed to run other games such as Horizon Zero Dawn, Palworld, Genshin Impact, RimWorld, and XCOM 2.

The project creator informed Reddit that essential functionalities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and the DualSense controller are operational in Bazzite. Additionally, audio via HDMI and hardware video acceleration have also been implemented.

On consoles equipped with the FLAVA3 HDMI chip, the project supports resolutions of 1440p and 4K with refresh rates up to 120 Hz, along with features like HDR and VRR. Older versions of the console may have restrictions, being limited to 4K at 60 Hz.

Both the original and Slim PS5 have physically 40 Compute Units (CUs) in their GPU, although Sony markets the device with only 36 active CUs. The project allows attempting to activate the remaining four CUs. However, this implies an increase in the number of active CUs but does not guarantee performance improvement and may cause instability.

The project itself warns that this activation may result in green dots, color shifts, graphical artifacts, and crashes. If problems occur, there is the possibility of reverting to the default configuration. To use this system, it is essential to have a console with compatible firmware and access to a jailbreak method. The landscape of PS5 unlocking has evolved rapidly in recent months, with the emergence of new exploits and tools suitable for various system versions.

Finally, it should be noted that the first boot process may take several minutes, and updates released by Sony can modify the system's operation. Support for the PS5 Pro was added to Bazzite starting from version 1.8.4, but the developer still considers this support preliminary.

Grand Theft Auto 6 may require about 210 GB of storage space on the PlayStation 5. This estimate was shared by the PlayStation Game Size profile and reported by the website GameSpot this Tuesday, the 27th.

This size refers to the standard edition of the game, which is scheduled to be sold for US$ 80. If this information is confirmed, GTA 6 will be among the titles that demand the largest storage capacity on consoles.

So far, Rockstar Games has not provided official confirmation regarding the installation size. The estimated 210 GB is approximately double the space occupied by Red Dead Redemption 2, the latest major release from the same developer.

The high volume of data may be linked to the vast scale of GTA 6's open world, which is expected to feature a modern reinterpretation of Vice City and include various areas of the fictional state of Leonida.

Information regarding the storage requirements for the Ultimate edition, which will cost US$ 100, has not yet been revealed. Furthermore, there is no confirmation about the game's space requirement for the Xbox Series X|S.

It is important to note that the required space may change depending on updates, extra content, and the specific version installed.

According to the disclosed data, the pre-download period for GTA 6 will begin on November 12, 2026, one week before the official release date. The possibility of downloading files in advance will be particularly useful for players with slower internet connections, given the estimated installation size.

The release of Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The new chapter of the franchise will follow the journeys of Jason and Lucia in Leonida, a setting inspired by Florida.

Meanwhile, consumers interested in purchasing the title digitally should ensure they have free space on their consoles before the game's debut.

The PS5 catalog continues to grow, and Amazon has made available a selection of games for the Sony console with advantageous promotional conditions. Three titles highlighted in the platform's offers were featured.

Grand Theft Auto VI, one of the most anticipated games recently, is already available for PlayStation 5. This title features a significantly larger and more detailed open world, featuring a new female main character, a well-developed story, and graphics that fully utilize the console's hardware capabilities. It is considered an essential experience for both series followers and open-world game enthusiasts.

Regarding Street Fighter 6, the Fighters version brings together all the content from Years 1 and 2 of DLCs into a single package, covering all extra characters released during that period. This option is ideal for those who already own the base game or wish to start the franchise with all available features. Game modes include World Tour, Battle Hub, and Fighting Ground, maintaining the standard of the fighting genre.

Furthermore, one of the most emblematic first-person shooter series, Halo, has arrived on PS5 with the Halo Campaign Evolved campaign. This release brings the original campaign, but expanded for Sony's hardware. The game provides intense combat, good weapon and vehicle diversity, and also offers support for cooperative mode, making it suitable for both experienced players and beginners who want to get to know the Halo universe.

It is important to note that these promotions may change at any time. Interested parties are advised to check availability and purchase their games directly on Amazon through the provided links.
