Because the summer nears, and staying cool is the name of the game, the Summer Waves Truck Bed Pool (affiliate link) is an inflatable pool designed to fit snugly in the shorter beds of today’s crew-cab trucks. Me? I prefer an 8-foot bed. Both for trucks AND for sleeping at night. I like to starfish when I sleep. Also, I flail during my frequent nightmares.
The pool measures 66″ x 62″ x 21″ when inflated and is perfect for celebrating the end of a long work week after parking your truck at home, filling the bed with cold hose water, and drinking a few even colder beers. Mmmm, I can taste them already. And probably too many of them.
Alternatively, you can just cover your truck bed with a waterproof blue tarp and fill that with water, the way truck owners have already been doing for years now. I still remember the first time I took a dip in a pickup pool. I think somebody peed in. Actually, I know somebody peed in it because it was me.

At some point in the not-too-distant future, you’ll be able to experience the Resident Evil 4 remake in virtual reality. Capcom revealed during today’s PlayStation Showcase that PS VR2 support is on the way. The VR mode will be a free update for the PS5 version of Resident Evil 4, though Capcom didn’t say when it will be available. One thing the company has confirmed: you’ll be able to wield Leon’s knife more freely.
This is not a massive surprise given that several other Resident Evil games have VR support (Resident Evil Village can be played on PS VR2) and the RE4 remake is one of the most widely acclaimed games of the year so far. Still, if you’ve been looking for a reason to revisit Resident Evil 4 — or perhaps to pick up a PS VR2 headset in the first place — the news may be music to your ears.
Elsewhere, Sony showed off more PS VR2 games during the stream, including Arizona Sunshine 2. The zombie-splattering sequel will arrive later this year. Synapse, an action shooter from nDreams Studio, will hit PS VR2 on July 4th.
Meanwhile, those who have been waiting for Beat Saber to land on PS VR2 won’t have to wait much longer. The rhythm game is coming to the platform today, along with a new pack of Queen songs.

It’s not a handheld console, but Sony is preparing to release a device that will allow PlayStation 5 users to stream their favorite games to a portable display. Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan shared the existence of “Project Q” on Wednesday during the company’s PlayStation Showcase. He said the device would allow PlayStation gamers to stream any PS5 game, excluding PlayStation VR2 titles, over WiFi and the company’s Remote Play protocol. The device features an 8-inch “HD display” and “all the buttons and features” found on a DualSense controller. Ryan did not say how much the device would cost but promised Sony would share more information about Project Q soon.

What do you think Bungie would do for its first non-Destiny game in over a decade? A return to the franchise that helped make it a gaming giant, of course. The developer has unveiledMarathon, a follow-up to the classic first-person shooter series for Macs. This isn’t a sequel or remake, mind you. Instead, it’s a multiplayer “extraction shooter” that has mercenary Runners exploring a lost colony.
While there’s no single-player component, game director Chris Barrett says this will still “feel” like a Bungie game between the mechanics and rich universe. Player actions will also influence the plot — you might find an artifact that unlocks an area for all players. There are persistent zones and seasons, although we wouldn’t expect a repeat of similar elements in Destiny.
Marathon is in development for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. While there isn’t much more to share at this point, Bungie says the next update will be “much closer to launch” and include gameplay. It’s safe to say there’s a lot riding on this title. It’s proof that Bungie isn’t content to iterate on Destiny forever, and will show what the company can do with a multiplayer-only experience. And for old-time fans, this is a chance to return to a beloved franchise 27 years later.
