Two embargoes today: PS5 Pro hands-on is uploading now and will go live ASAP. Please be patient on download versions - hour-long 4K videos take time to prepare. Meanwhile, the Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom embargo is also today. The content is complete but as publishing more than one video a day hits the algorithm, we're prioritising Pro.

However, all Supporters can watch the Zelda review now - and yes, performance is an issue - one of the reasons we're opening this one up to all members.
