‘The Medium’ Rated For The PlayStation 5
It appears that Bloober Team’s The Medium is finally heading Sony’s way. Though no announcement has been made yet, per Gematsu, the psychological horror title has been rated by the ESRB for the PlayStation 5.
Originally hitting the Xbox Series and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store back in January to great success, Koch Media and Bloober Team had announced that the game is slated to be receiving a physical version down the road. No platforms were mentioned at the time, though with this new rating, that might change.
If you haven’t played the game (we did, and we loved it), The Medium has players assuming the role of Marianne, a spirit medium. Marianne travels to an abandoned communist resort to uncover its disturbing secrets. Along the way, she must use her psychic abilities to solve dual-reality puzzles, survive encounters with sinister spirits, and explore two realities at the same time.

‘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.
