Welcome to Friday Focus, PSXNetwork’s new weekly feature spotlighting one PlayStation game we think deserves your attention each weekend. This week, July 17, 2026 is hand-selected by our editorial staff, Friday Focus highlights games that stand out for their gameplay, creativity, or simply how much fun they are to jump into.
This week’s spotlight is EMPULSE, the latest multiplayer shooter from developer 1047 Games, the studio behind Splitgate. This fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter makes speed, momentum, and creative traversal just as important as precision shooting. Set across the post-utopian city of Freehold, EMPULSE rewards players who stay on the move, chaining together wall-runs, grapple swings, Holojumps, and aerial attacks while battling for control of the battlefield.
Throw in towering player-controlled mechs, vertical maps, and squad-based action, and every match feels energetic and unpredictable. Whether you’re looking for a competitive multiplayer experience or simply something new to dive into this weekend, EMPULSE is well worth checking out.
