We Hope Black Friday Bundles More Recent Games With The PS5
Especially After The PS5 Pro Fiasco
ThePlayStation 5 Pro was announced in Septemberwith a noticeable lack of new games on offer at launch. Sony focused on optimizing existing hits for the console rather than bringing new titles to the table to encourage new users to buy in.The Black Friday bundle seems to be repeating thesame mistake as the PS5 Pro,by pairing the console with an old game.
Fortnitehas been paired with the PlayStation 4 and even the Pro edition, and pairing it once again with the PS5 seems like a missed opportunity. I’m hoping that as deal announcements roll out, Sony will give non-PS5 owners a more modern game to entice them to buy into the console. As with all leaks, it’s also important to remember that it’s potentially incorrect, but considering past bundles, it’s safe to assume that theFortnitePlayStation 5 Slim bundles will be available for purchase during Black Friday sales.
