It's finally time! With the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, we are going to have loads of content coming out over the next few weeks to satisfy all your next-gen needs. To give you a good sense of what's on the horizon, we decided to create a schedule that we'll update with all of our biggest next-gen content. From previews and unboxings to reviews and features, we have a ton of coverage planned that we're super excited to share with you, and this schedule will be the convenient and easy guide to it all. We hope so, anyway!
We have received a lot of questions about the timing of game and hardware reviews. We will share what we can below, and keep this page updated. Note that many game publishers choose to not make the timing of their press embargoes public.
