Sulfur demo out today on PS5

Surprise! The Sulfur demo is available today on PlayStation 5.

Sulfur is a fast-paced FPS roguelike where guns evolve, enemies mutate, and cooking is as important as shooting. To celebrate the release, we’ve put together a new trailer and the Top 5 things you can do right now in the demo. Almost everything you see in the new trailer can be played for free in the demo today!

Sulfur demo out today on PS5

1. Customize your weapons

Loot isn’t just about firepower, it’s about personality. Pick your favorite weapon out of the 20+ unique guns available in the demo and use strange scrolls to transform them into something completely new. Rechamber a revolver to fire 12 gauge shells, enchant a SMG to launch railgun bullets, or equip an automatic shotgun with a laser sight and hunting scope. Construct cursed firearms with enchanted projectiles, bouncing bullets, or anything else you can think of. In Sulfur, every aspect of your firearm is modifiable.

2. Cook food you didn’t know you wanted

Between fights, toss scavenged ingredients into your cauldron and see what happens. Some foods give bonuses only when cooked, others can be consumed raw. Experimentation is half the fun! Once you discover a new recipe, it will automatically be stored in your recipe book for quick crafting in the future.

3. Explore ever changing levels

After each death or extraction, the caves are randomized. Progress deeper with each new life carrying more upgrades and wisdom. Reach deeper floors to uncover more secrets. Encounter strange NPCs, scarier enemies, and random ambushes. Each time you descend, the caves change. Strange NPCs, new ambushes, deeper secrets – no two runs are the same. And remember, your life is only as valuable as your gear.

4. Manage your loot like your life depends on it

Because it does. Your bag never feels big enough for everything, which forces tough choices. Do you carry an extra gun, collect armor sets, or save room for more trinkets? Most of the equipment from the full game has a chance to drop in the demo. End-game gear is extremely rare but can be obtained if you’re persistent (or lucky). Barter with NPCs to get more stuff for your stash. Even in the demo, you’ll get a taste of late-game chaos before the full release.

5. Outsmart enemies

Since Sulfur is a roguelike FPS, each run teaches you something new, whether it’s a recipe, or a weapon combo that works – one you’ll swear by, or one you’ll swear over. Even if you lose all your uninsured items when you die, the church’s collection box will return some money to keep you afloat. Find out what works for you and reequip yourself by trading with the vendors at the church.

The new Sulfur trailer shows all this in action, but nothing beats trying it yourself. Download the demo today on PlayStation 5 and step into the world of Sulfur!

See you there!

Below, we dig into what items are available, how much they cost, and more.

All the new items are listed in the catalog above. For more information about them, you can scroll down.

PS5 Console – Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition Bundle (Gold or Black)

The PS5 console bundle gets you Ghost of Yotei-themed PS5 and DualSense controller, with either black or gold designs on them, as well as a voucher to download a digital copy of the game.

DualSense Wireless Controller – Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition (Gold or Black)

The DualSense Wireless controller is similarly decked out in Ghost of Yotei markings, available in either black or gold. Aside from the stylized design, it’s a standard PS5 controller with all the features you’d expect, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

Magic’s Lord of the Rings Commander Decks Are Finally Back in Stock at Amazon, and Some Are Even Discounted

Magic: The Gathering is on the verge of introducing a new Spider-Man set, but prior Universes Beyond sets aren’t being forgotten.

Aside from the unlikely team-up between a Warhammer 40k Tyranid and Sonic the Hedgehog, our all-seeing eye(s) have spotted that the Commander Decks from 2023’s The Lord of the Rings set have popped up at Amazon again.

Clearing old stock, or a fresh printing? It’s hard to say, but with two of the four decks discounted, it’s worth a look.

Lord of the Rings MTG Commander Decks: Back in Stock at Amazon

Over at Amazon, you can find all four decks available, although one—The Hosts of Mordor—is way higher in price.

This Sauron-helmed deck is very fun to play, but whether it’s worth just shy of $90 is up to you.

Thankfully, other options are a little cheaper. Riders of Rohan, a deck we picked as one of our picks for the best decks around right now, is $49.92 at the time of writing.

Looking for an aggressive, combat-heavy deck? This is a great choice, albeit one thats not discounted.

What is discounted are both the Food and Fellowship deck and the Elven Council one. The first, which stars Frodo and Sam and has a life gain theme from sacrificing food tokens, is now $48.59.

Finally, Elven Council has Galadriel, Legolas, and Arwen, and is now just $45.87. It has a nice reprint of Heroic Intervention in there, too, while Raise the Palisade still fetches a decent price.

Each pack comes with a couple of cards in a ‘Collector Booster Sample Pack’, too, meaning you can find some nifty foils and borderless treatments, too.

IO Interactive Stuck Daniel Craig’s Head On Agent 47 To Pitch 007 First Light

007-47?

Judging from the recent gameplay reveal, IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is looking pretty marvellous, and it’s heading to the Switch 2 on 27th March 2026.

Now, in speaking with IGN, game director Hakan Abrak has revealed that IO managed to secure the video game rights to James Bond in a rather amusing (albeit not entirely surprising) way. Essentially, the studio took the (digital) head of Daniel Craig, the most recent actor to portray Bond, and stuck it on Agent 47’s body from Hitman: World of Assassination.
