Announcing the next step in Sony Interactive Entertainment’s commitment to Playing for the Planet

Author: Kieren Mayers, Vice President, Environment, Social, and Governance at Sony Interactive Entertainment

In 2019, at the UN Climate Summit, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) was invited to team up with the United Nations to combat climate change through the Playing for the Planet Alliance, which brings together industry leaders to work towards their sustainability goals. Since then, we have pursued a number of initiatives to contribute to the goals of the alliance and today, we’re proud to launch our latest project as part of this commitment: Climate Station.

Developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Climate Station uses the latest gaming technology, including virtual reality, to allow players to view, interact with, and understand complex climate data to raise awareness about climate change. With your 4K TV, you can view Climate Station with high quality 4K visuals from PlayStation 5 as you explore a wealth of information. Additionally, PlayStation VR2’s added immersion really brings complex climate data to life.

Climate Station is available free on PS5 and PS VR2 for players around the globe. The application tells the story of climate change through three acts: Weather Year, Observations, and Projections. There’s also an Explainer Library to explore.

• In Weather Year, users are introduced to the complex interconnected weather systems of planet Earth through a visual exploration of the meteorological events of 2019.
• Observations include 120 years’ worth of climate data, including detailed temperature records for thousands of locations – charting the gradual warming of our planet.
• In Projections, data from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approved climate models allow users to explore how various choices will affect our future climate up to the end of the century, and the impact it would have on the planet.
• Climate Station also contains an Explainer Library, which features 90 minutes of engaging multi-media content explaining climate change.

Climate Station can be used in the comfort of player’s homes, but also in research and education settings and as an interactive scientific tool to transform complex data into an immersive experience. Data used in Climate Station is sourced from some of the foremost experts on the subject, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Berkeley Earth, the Climate Research Unit, and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP).

SIE also collaborated with veteran meteorologist Laura Tobin, who served as a consultant on the project and lent her voice as narrator of the videos in Climate Station.

“As a meteorologist, I report on weather and climate and over the last 20 years I’ve seen the increased frequency and intensity of severe weather around the world. More and more records are being broken, often in remote parts of the globe but in recent years it’s hitting closer to home. I’m immensely proud of our collaboration on Climate Station. We want audiences to learn more about our amazing planet, use the latest science to see what is really happening, and finally have a greater understanding and appreciation of why change is needed. – Laura Tobin, Meteorologist & TV Weather Presenter.

Learning about the realities of climate change can be challenging, but the aim of Climate Station is to  leave the audience with a sense of hope for our planet’s future and the options ahead. Climate Station is just the latest step in our efforts to inspire change and drive progress. We remain committed to Sony Group’s Road to Zero plan, which includes our ongoing commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, efforts to increase the energy efficiency of our PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, support for our data centers to transition to renewable electricity, and more.

“Bringing climate awareness into the homes of millions through gaming will help build both knowledge and action to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. The approach to adapt the science into a game format has been impressive. We look forward to seeing how players react to this new tool and also recognise the leadership of Sony Interactive Entertainment in bringing climate science to consoles across the planet.” – Susan Gardner, Director of the Ecosystems Division, United Nations Environment Programme

We want to thank all of our collaborators for coming on this journey with us and helping to make Climate Station a reality. We’re excited for players to check out Climate Station to learn more about the science behind climate change, and discover their own climate story.

Los Angeles, CA – 18 June, 2025 – Netherworld Covenant, the roguelike with tactical, soulslike combat from developer MadGoat and publisher Infini Fun, descends onto PC via Steam Early Access today at 10 AM PDT.

With the Nether Lantern in hand, face beast hunters, archers, and soul devourers in a tactical blend of roguelike and soulslike combat. Mindless button mashing will lead to a swift demise – choose when to parry and dodge, then strike at the right moment with lethal blows. Mitigate the stamina costs wayward blade clashes and evasive maneuvers by strategically using ghostly abilities to recharge.

Take up arms in the tortured land of Languireg and join the plagued heroes caught in a never-ending battle with demons. Taking refuge in the Borderland, a region between the living and the dead, harness the powers of a forbidden artifact known as the Nether Lantern. Wield the lantern’s energy in a treacherous quest to reclaim souls and cleanse corrupt worlds. 

Summon the undead throughout skirmishes with the aid of Soul Companions. Spread across Swordsman, Ranger, Guardian, and Rogue classes, master their abilities to gain an upper hand. Phase through obstacles, dodge brutal attacks, and deal soul-wrenching finishers from behind. 

Earn temporary boons and resources after each level, and square off with bosses including massive beasts and nimble fallen heroes alike. After the endless clashes with these fallen souls, return to home base to replenish supplies, craft weapons, and forge spectral alliances to unlock new potential. 

“Soulslikes and roguelikes have a natural affinity, being genres that make you consider each action you take, and teaching through failure,” said Feng Hu, Artist at MadGoat. “Netherworld Covenant is our love letter to the genres, with a consciously deliberate pace and risk-reward combat system, and we know the community will help shape this experience throughout Early Access.”

Netherworld Covenant launches today on PC via Steam Early Access for $17.99 USD/17.49 EU.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 and free Update 46 base-game patch are now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 consoles, following the launch on PC and Mac on June 2. Starting today, console players can explore the island of Solstice and begin to uncover the plans of the resurgent Worm Cult.

Seasons of the Worm Cult
In this two-part adventure continuing ESO’s original main quest storyline from 10 years ago, the dreaded Worm Cult has returned and is threating the island of Solstice, concealing their activities behind the massive and magical Writhing Wall. Players arrive on the tropical island in Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 to explore the Western Solstice zone—there is no shortage of action and rewards to uncover with new World Bosses, Delves, a Public Dungeon, and a brand-new Trial: the Ossein Cage.

Subclassing
With the new Subclassing system, all ESO players can further customize their characters and play their way. Now, players on all platforms may utilize the powers of up to three of ESO’s seven classes at once, offering greater flexibility and creativity in gameplay. See Subclassing in action below.

Hero’s Return
Also free with this update, the Hero’s Return feature automatically detects when players haven’t logged in to ESO for an extended period and offers them handy tools and guidance to help get back into the thick of things more swiftly. The first of these is a brief, optional adventure you can choose to complete to help refresh your combat skills and secure additional rewards.

Update 46 introduces additional base game quality-of-life improvements, including an updated in-game map—making traversing Tamriel easier than ever—and updated tutorials for the Wayshrine system. More details on Update 46 can be found here. For the full patch notes, visit our official forums.
