‘P.T.’ Was, But Now Isn’t Playable on The PlayStation 5
So, this is a kick in the teeth, to say the least.
Back in October, we ran the story about how while it was obvious that you couldn’t re-download Konami’s P.T. demo from the PlayStation Store to your new PlayStation 5, it was, however, quite likely possible to play the demo on the PS5 using its transfer feature. And, in fact, it was. But that, unfortunately, appears to no longer be the case.
According to Polygon, the demo could not only be transferred from their PS4 to their PS5 that they had received for review purposes, but it was very much playable. However, with Sony gearing up for the PS5’s November 12th launch, the reviewer attempted to play P.T. again after a recent update, only to find that it will no longer boot, and is now listed as a “Playable on PS4” title (as you can see below).
In other words, it can’t be played on the PS5 at all. When reached for comment, Sony explained that it was a “publisher decision” to remove the ability to play the demo.
Better save your PS4 and your copy of P.T., after all.

‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Surpasses 8 Million Units Sold; ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Now Highest-Selling in Franchise
Capcom once again updated fans on their sales figures via their new quarterly report. And to no one’s surprise, Resident Evil Requiem continues to rake in the sales, having now crossed the 8 million units sold mark across the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. This all comes after the game reached 7 million units sold just three months ago.
In even bigger news, Resident Evil 5, which has sold just over 19 million across various incarnations, is no longer the best selling entry in the series. That title now belongs to 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake, which has now moved 19.75 million copies across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
It gets only more crowded when you look at the numbers of other entries: Resident Evil 7: biohazard currently sits at 18.41 million, while Resident Evil 6 has hit 17.60 million units. 2023’s Resident Evil 4 remake isn’t far behind with 16.04 million, while Resident Evil Village is at 15.86 million units. And while it’s considered a “miss” compared to the other remakes, 2020’s Resident Evil 3 remake is still at a respectable 14.52 million units.
Devil May Cry V, which was already the highest-selling entry in the franchise, has apparently seen a boost in sales thanks to the second season of the Netflix series and last month’s launch on the Switch 2, having now hit 14. 24 million units.
Meanwhile, we can look forward to Zach Cregger‘s violent take on the franchise with his Resident Evil film, which is set for a September 16 release.
