Sony reveals rainbow of Playstation Vita colors

Sony continues to unveil new looks for its console and handheld gaming systems during this week’s Tokyo Game Show. While the previous announcements were focused on the Playstation 3, the latest rainbow of options to be revealed are for the Playstation Vita.

Kotaku has posted eight photos form the floor of the show featuring the Vita in various colors. Along with green, blue, and indigo options, there’s also a swanky gold Vita on display, among other colors.

And though the photo apparently doesn’t do it justice, there’s also a white Vita that looks it be right at home next to any Apple product (or the original Nintendo Wii).

It’s interesting to note that, with the exception of the white Vita, the colors shown for Sony’s upcoming handheld don’t differ all that much from the current (and previously announced) color schemes for the Nintendo 3DS. Heck, they both even have that crazy gold model.

There’s no word on whether all of these colors will be available when the Vita goes on sale next year.

Concord studio shuts down as Sony sunsets the troubled shooter
Two characters face off in Concord.

Sony announced that it's officially sunsetting Concord and closing its developer Firewalk Studios after a disastrous launch that led to it taking the game offline after just two weeks.

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), which acquired Firewalk in 2023, revealed in an email sent out to employees on Tuesday that it's shutting down the studio, along with mobile developer Neon Koi, in order to "strengthen SIE's Studio Business." That means two studios acquired by Sony over the past two years have been closed.

How to connect a PS5 controller to an iPhone
A person holds up a PS5 controller.

Mobile-gaming has taken a huge leap forward in recent years. With hardware accelerated ray tracing, more stable frame rates offered through Game Mode in iOS 18 and an impressive OLED display, gaming on the iPhone can look mighty pretty. The best iPhone games rival their console counterparts in a lot of cases, and there are plenty of free mobile games to dive into as well. As long as you have a good smartphone for gaming, you'll have a blast.

You can’t appreciate the graphics with your thumbs in the way though, and with precious little real estate already on the iPhone screen, touchscreen controls can also negatively impact your gameplay. For some games, like the indie-hit Balatro, on-screen controls make sense. But for most other mobile games, especially ones that require precision like Death Stranding or Call of Duty, playing with a controller is absolutely a must.
