Two Point Museum will let players create a Sonic-themed museum next March

The Sonic themed items coming to Two Point Museum.

Sega revealed that Two Point Museum will launch on March 4, 2025, but what’s even more fascinating is its preorder bonus. Those who preorder the game early will gain access to lots of items based on the Sonic the Hedgehog series that they can decorate their museum with.

Two Point Museum was revealed last month ahead of Gamescom 2024. It builds upon the formula Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus established as a comedic management sim where players have to run and curate several fictional museums. I went hands-on with the game and enjoyed what I played, as Two Point Museum already gave me a lot of tools to build out and customize my museum to my liking. Now, I’ll be able to do that with items based on Sonic and Shadow.

The Sonic-themed Two Point Museum Pre-Order Pack adds Sonic, Shadow, and Tails staff outfits, gift shop outfits and plushies based on those three characters, and Sonic-themed museum wallpaper, flooring, and statues. It’s definitely one of the better preorder bonuses that I’ve seen for a game in a while. It will also springboard nicely off the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations, which comes out this October.

There will be even more bonuses for those who preorder Two Point Museum Explorer Edition. In terms of game content, Explorer Edition players will get an exclusive map location and challenge museum to play around with, as well as some unique explorer-themed items, and a Rare exhibit and 5,000 Kudosh currency when they start the game.

Two Point Museum will launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on March 4, 2025.

PS5 vs. Xbox Series S
ps5 vs xbox series s release date 710x400

Between the regular PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, buying a current-gen console is not as simple as it once was. However, you do need to make the right choice if you want to play the best PS5 games or best Xbox Series games, which is the most important factor in a gaming machine. Sure, many games are now cross-platform, but not all of them. We compared the PS5 to the Xbox Series X already, but what about the S? Let's pit Sony's console against the smaller Xbox and see which one is worth it for you.
PlayStation 5 vs. Xbox Series S: specs
Right off the bat, we need to point out that the PS5 and Xbox Series S are aimed toward slightly different audiences, and their specs do differ a considerable amount. The PS5 is aimed toward a "premium" audience looking for high-end visuals and performance, while the Series S is presented as more of an affordable option to get as many players on board as possible. You'll notice the PS5 is a more powerful system in many ways than the Series S, but that doesn't necessarily mean deciding between the two is easy. When it comes to specs, both offer custom SSDs (solid-state drives), meaning games and apps will load incredibly fast. This is a huge upgrade from the current generation's HDDs (hard disk drives), which are starting to show their age as games become much larger in scope.

The main difference between the two on the surface is that the Series S lacks a disc drive, while the standard PS5 will accept 4K UHD Blu-Ray discs. This could be a major factor for some, especially those with less reliable internet connections. The standard PS5 will cost more than the Xbox Series S, and a lower price point could prove to be the most enticing factor when choosing one over the other.

Is Apple Arcade still kicking? We demoed 4 upcoming games to find out

Five years after its launch, Apple Arcade continues to defy expectations. Rather than flopping in a blaze of glory as some may had predicted, Apple has stayed committed to its ad-free mobile gaming service over the years. It continues to put out new games every month and even occasionally nets some surprising releases, like Final Fantasy IV's 3D remake. The service will continue to expand in 2025, as Apple has already announced a few games coming this January (including the Apple Vision Pro-exclusive Gears & Goo).

After announcing its upcoming game slate earlier this week, Digital Trends attended an Apple gaming event filled with demoes. We went hands-on with upcoming mobile games like Sonic Rumble, played Infinity Nikki on an iPhone, and saw new releases like Neva running on Mac. As part of our demo day, we tried out four upcoming Apple Arcade titles. Each one was completely different, modeling how the service caters to seasoned gamers, casual players, and kids. If you're curious about what Apple's been up to on its service these days, here are our takeaways on the four new games we tried.

I own a PlayStation 5 Pro. It still hasn’t replaced my regular old PS5
A PS5 slim, PS5 Pro, and base PS5 all stand next to each other.

When I first got my PlayStation 5 Pro, I had a whirlwind first week with it. I spent days on end testing as many games as I could to determine how much of an upgrade it really was over my base PS5. I looked at five-minute chunks of games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for hours, comparing every graphics mode on both systems. At the end of my PS5 vs. PS5 Pro testing, the result was clear: The PS5 Pro was indeed the more powerful console and, frankly, the most capable gaming device I had in my entire home.

So why, just two weeks later, am I still using my regular old PS5 so much?
