The PS5 is celebrating its fifth anniversary, and Sony has released a whole lot of statistics to celebrate--including the most-played multiplayer and single-player games on the console. Perhaps unsurprisingly, battle royale monolith Fortnite took out the top spot for multiplayer, while launch game Assassin's Creed Valhalla still holds the lead in single-player titles.

Sony revealed that PS5 players have logged a cumulative total of 100 billion hours of gameplay, engaging with a library of over 7,500 published games. Of all those games, Sony revealed which came out on top when it came to playtime--after Fortnite, the most popular multiplayer titles on PS5 were Grand Theft Auto V in second place, with 2022's Call of Duty Modern Warfare II beating five other PS5 COD titles to claim third place.

When it comes to single player games, the top spot goes to Assassin's Creed Valhalla--one of the PS5's major third-party launch titles that released with the console back in 2020. Coming in second for single-player is 2022's God of War Ragnarok, a console-exclusive title for PlayStation, while the third most-played single-player game is 2023's Hogwarts Legacy--the most recent release on the list.

Where Winds Meet is an interactive open world game featuring action, adventure, and martial arts developed by Everstone Games. It takes place during the twilight of the Ten Kingdoms, the very era when an entire dynasty could crumble in a blink of an eye. As a swordsman, the player has grown up amid this era of war and conflict and must face the many tough choices in a swordsman's destiny, as division and unrest are about to come to an end on the stage of the Northern Song Dynasty. Facing the unknown paths ahead where blood and swords are intertwined, what will the player choose? - follow his heart and mind and fight for justice: or choose to safeguard the empire with the inevitable consequence that his kind, swordsmen, will fade from prominence and prosperity; or will he choose to protect the innocent by sticking to the moral code of chivalry imbued since childhood, and use his martial skills against laws and rules till death?

Embrace the darkness in Dark Atlas: Infernum, a first-person horror experience where you must remember who you are, stop the apocalypse, and face your demons. As Natalia Asensio, Grand Master of an ancient esoteric order, society collapses around you with the appearance of ghosts and the shattering of dimensional barriers. Trapped in a dusty basement, drugged and barely remembering your identity, you must engage in a battle of wills that could open the gates of hell.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops games lean into fantasy and often surprise with a mind-bending narrative, and the Black Ops 7 campaign is no exception. It's themed around the enemy using fear as a weapon, and you're dropped into a storyline filled with hallucinations of monsters, trippy locations, and bizarre scenarios. This is a specific flavor of Call of Duty story that only developer Treyarch has shown the capacity to tell, and despite a few stumbles, the Black Ops 7 campaign does enough to leverage the potential of its more psychological narratives, while also moving the satisfying shooter gameplay into a new framework.

Confusingly enough, Black Ops 7 takes place over 40 years after the events of last year's Black Ops 6 and 10 years following the events of Black Ops 2. The story is set in 2035 as a direct sequel to Black Ops 2, and it brings back David Mason from that game as the main protagonist. In Black Ops 7, you see the effects of Black Ops 2's canonical ending, where Mason kills villain Raul Menendez and an uprising occurs. The world is now ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare, and The Guild, a global tech corporation, has stepped in to "protect" humanity from the chaos created by Menendez's followers. But uh-oh: Menendez seemingly returns despite his apparent death.

David Mason looks slightly different in Black Ops 7, as he is now played by Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls, Heroes) instead of the original actor Sam Worthington. Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy) is back as Mike Harper, a role he played in Black Ops 2. Eric Samuels also returns from Black Ops 2, and the fourth member of the squad is Leilani "50/50" Tupuola, who is a new badass soldier with advanced bionics. This squad of four is known as Specter One, and they're guided by a much older version of Troy Marshall, played by Y'lan Noel (The First Purge), from Black Ops 6.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Walmart (PS5) Preorder at Walmart (Xbox) Preorder at GameStop

If you or someone you know is a RoboCop fan, then your holiday shopping just got easier thanks to the upcoming RoboCop: Rogue City Steelbook Collection. This new physical edition of the game arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X on December 2. Preorders are now live at multiple online retailers. While there are no preorder bonuses, the new collection includes the full RoboCop: Rogue City base game, the RoboCop: Unfinished Business standalone expansion, and a bunch of bonus DLC--not to mention an exclusive steelbook case--all for just $50.

RoboCop: Rogue City Steelbook Collection $50 | Releases December 2

Considering RoboCop: Rogue City regularly costs $40 on the PS Store and Xbox Store, there's a lot of value here for an extra $10. Not only do you get a copy of Rogue City, but you'll also get Rogue City: Unfinished Business--a standalone adventure that continues the brutal FPS action. Of course, the main selling point of this bundle might be the steelbook case, which features a cool shot of RoboCop. To top it all off, there's also a selection of bonus content that includes unique in-game skins and weapons. Here's everything included in the RoboCop: Rogue City Steelbook Collection

• RoboCop: Rogue City base game
• RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business expansion
• Exclusive Steelbook case
• Bonus DLC:
  • Damaged Armor Skin inspired by the armor from the first RoboCop movie
  • Blue Armor Skin inspired by RoboCop 2
  • Frosted Armor Skin
  • Alternative Police Uniform
  • Pitch Black Auto-9
  • Scarlet Cryo Cannon
  • Prototype Auto-9
  • OCP Shotgun

Preorders are live at Amazon, Walmart (PS5, Xbox), and GameStop. Note that Amazon is currently listing preorders at $53.27, which is a few dollars more than the other retailers, but we expect the price to adjust to match Walmart and GameStop before launch.

Our RoboCop: Rogue City review gave it a 7/10, noting that it does an impressive job of making you feel like RoboCop and for following a new storyline that lets you see another slice of Old Detroit's crime-ridden streets. "If you're a fan of RoboCop, then you'll find a lot to love in Rogue City," wrote critic Richard Wakeling. "It's chock full of Easter eggs and manages to capture the look and feel of the first two RoboCop movies with excellent attention to detail, even getting Peter Weller to reprise his role as the eponymous hero. More than anything, it does a tremendous job of making you feel like RoboCop in its best moments."

While the new RoboCop: Rogue City Collection is a physical-only release, both Rogue City and Rogue City: Unfinished Business are also available as standalone titles on PS5, Xbox, and PC. PC fans who want to check out the FPS can grab the Steam version at a discount via Fanatical, where the RoboCop: Rogue City - Alex Murphy Deluxe Edition is on sale for $44 (was $60), and RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is down to $24 (was $30). Standalone physical editions of RoboCop: Rogue City and Unfinished Business are also available on PS5 and Xbox--however, grabbing these versions separately will be more expensive than the $50 Steelbook Collection, so it's probably best to just wait the extra couple weeks.
