News Dozens of Digital Games Discounted on EU PlayStation Store
Bargain bin
Want something to play this summer despite the lack of new releases? Good news, Sony has discounted dozens upon dozens of digital games on the European PlayStation Store, with everything from Alienation through to White Night up for grabs on the PlayStation 4. The former can be purchased for just £9.99, for example, while you'll be able...
News Overwatch Will Limit Teams to One of Each Character in Competitive Mode
D.Va and Zenyatta will also be buffed in an upcoming patch
Despite Overwatch being a pretty young game, Blizzard is already planning ways to better the shooter in upcoming patches. Speaking to Gamespot, principal designer Scott Mercer said: "The big thing for Competitive Play is we're going to turn on one-hero limit, so players will not be able to...
News WRC 6 Takes a Long, Easy Right to PS4 in October
No maybe about it
There are no shortage of racing games on the PlayStation 4, but there are perhaps a lack of spectacular ones. WRC 5 didn't quite hit the dizzying heights of, say, DriveClub, but developer Kylotonn Games – in collaboration with Bigben Interactive – came up with a compelling simcade handling model that deserves revisiting. And...
News All PlayStation VR Games Will Support the DualShock 4
Move not mandatory
There's been a bit of confusion – surprise, surprise – online recently regarding some early box art for PlayStation VR launch title, PlayStation VR Worlds. On the cover – which we reported on eons ago – there's a handy little icon which simply states 'You'll Need These' alongside images of the PlayStation Camera and Sony's...
Store Update 12th July 2016 (North America)
Lots of game
Cancel those plans for a summer holiday: there are too many games to play. Alright, so there aren't any "heavy hitters" this week, but between the likes of Assault Suit Leynos, Kill Strain, Ghostbusters, and more, you should find something that you like. And if not – well, you're too picky! PS4 Games: Assault Suit Leynos $19.99...
News The Re-PLAY Sale Offers Discounts on Games You Probably Already Own
Check those download lists
Sony has brought a new sale to the US PlayStation Store, but its contents are rather underwhelming. Titled the Re-PLAY sale, it offers regular users discounts of up to 65%, and PlayStation Plus subscribers 75%. The problem is, you've more than likely already picked these games up. Titles included range from Journey,...
Live Get a Much Better Look at Fallout 4's Vault-Tec Workshop DLC Right Here
Going underground
Other than a brief mention during Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference, we've got very little to go on when it comes to Fallout 4's penultimate piece of downloadable content, Vault-Tec Workshop. The add-on will supposedly allow you to build your own underground vault and watch over its inhabitants as the Overseer, but no one's quite...
Talking Point Will No Man's Sky Live Up to the Hype on PS4?
Sky high
No Man's Sky is finished! We're nearing our 50th article on the game since it was announced all the way back in December 2013. In case you can't remember those halcyon days: the PlayStation 4 had only just released, Geoff Keighley still produced award ceremonies for Spike TV, and Britain was still in the EU. Too soon? Anyway, the point is...
News Overwatch's Roster Gets Backed Up with New Support Sniper Ana
Mama's here
There's been a lot of speculation and teasing about who would be the first DLC character to grace Overwatch. While rumours largely pointed to the mysterious Sombra receiving this honour, it seems that the less likely pick has sneaked up on us all. Ana Amari will be joining the ranks of our heroes, who happens to be Pharah's mother and a...
News Metal Gear Solid 5 Wasn't Finished, So Why Pay Full Price?
Amazon Prime Day makes tactical espionage affordable
How's that for some tip-top clickbait game? Oh, hush your noise, we don't want to be writing about Amazon Prime Day 2016 anymore than you want to be reading about it – but this is a good deal for a genuinely great game. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's just dropped to £12.99. And no,...
News Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization's Latest English Trailer Has Plenty of PS4 Gameplay
But still no release date
Fans have high hopes for Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, but it feels like we've seen more than enough of it over the last few months. Indeed, even the title's latest trailer, which is around four minutes long and features a good amount of gameplay footage, isn't really anything that we haven't seen before - we guess...
News Fallout 4's Penultimate DLC Digs Up a Release Date on PS4
Down we go
Fallout 4's second last slice of downloadable content has a confirmed release date. The add-on, dubbed the Vault-Tec Workshop, will give you the ability to establish your own underground vault, and control it as the Overseer. It certainly doesn't seem to be a true expansion - especially since it's priced at only several dollars without...
Review JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven (PS4)
Stuck in purgatory
We can guarantee that almost every review of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven that you read will, at least once, mention that it's a better experience if you're a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - a statement that seems bafflingly obvious. As the property's name suggests, the popular anime and manga series revels in the...
Not seaworthy
Lost Sea is a top down indie roguelike with a unique visual style and retro sensibilities. Clearly, there is a danger for it to get lost in a sea of superior competitors. We'll be the first to admit that that joke was pretty obvious. But just because a joke is obvious, doesn't mean it isn't true. The title sees you playing as an...
News These Alternate No Man's Sky PS4 Covers Look Just Like Classic Sci-Fi Books
What a novel idea
The official artwork that adorns the box of No Man's Sky is gorgeous. Hello Games has worked hard to capture the essence of sci-fi in its upcoming galactic explore-'em-up, drawing inspiration from the cover art found on vintage science fiction novels. This look and feel runs through the veins of the enormous indie; it certainly...
Store Update 12th July 2016 (Europe)
Space race
A humongous week for PlayStation 4 and Vita fans is headlined on the European PlayStation Store by Adr1ft and Ghostbusters – both of which are aiming to occupy the summer void. There are also the long overdue additions of Killstrain and Neverwinter, while the likes of Type:Rider and Gal*Gun have interesting concepts to say the least...
News Rocket League to Receive Paid Crate System
Crates will only contain cosmetic items
After Reddit user TheSgtPunishment uncovered an image from Rocket League's source code suggesting that a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive-style crate system (in which players pay money in exchange for crates containing random items) would be coming to the game at some point, Psyonix's Vice-President Jeremy...
News Enlist for The Division with Amazon Prime Day Sale
New York, New York
Well, it didn't quite set the world alight like the pre-release hype had suggested, but with expectations aligned, Tom Clancy's The Division is a fine game. A fusion of third-person shooting and Diablo-esque looting, this military-focused affair has bags of content to offer – and a never-ending stream of urban goons who need...
News Mirror's Edge Catalyst Runs at a Reduced Rate in Amazon Prime Deal
Through the looking glass
Limber up those limbs and stare down the starting line: Mirror's Edge Catalyst's price has been cut as part of Amazon Prime Day 2016. The free-running foray received mixed reviews at release, but we rather liked it, and reckon it's definitely worth a shot at £31.99. Just have a little Faith, eh? A reminder: we're taking...
Review The Banner Saga 2 (PS4)
Stop! Banner time
Few games are as relentlessly bleak as The Banner Saga 2. It begins right after the climax of the previous game, but regardless of your prior choices, the story will play out largely the same; the dredge (a relentless horde of warriors) are hunting down the remaining humans and varl (hulking, horned giants), in the wake of past...
News Put Your Hormones on Hold, Gal Gun: Double Peace Is Delayed Two Weeks in the West
Take it slow
Put those trousers back on and listen up: underwear riddled rail shooter Gal Gun: Double Peace has been delayed a couple of weeks here in the West. Publisher PQube has stated that the game will now release on the 29th July in Europe and the 2nd August in North America. Not a huge delay by any means, but a bit of a disappointment if...
Guide Amazon Prime Day 2016 - Best PS4 Deals (Updated)
Bottled lightning
Today is Amazon Prime Day 2016, in case you didn't know. The online retailer's billing this as the biggest in the event's admittedly short history, with prices plunging on tons of sought-after products – including the ol' PlayStation 4. We've compiled some of the best deals available right now, which can be pounced upon by...
News Brawlout May Be a Solid Alternative to Super Smash Bros on PS4
Rumble in the jungle
Remember when people used to bang on about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale being a rip-off of Super Smash Bros.? Well, we'd love to see what those same people have to say about Brawlout - a platforming beat-'em-up that features damage percentages and off-screen knockouts. Sure, it may not have brand mascots beating the snot...
News Here's a Quick Look at Character Transformations in Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2
Better, faster, stronger
Sammy can rest easy now that Push Square's resident anime fanatic is back in action, so without wasting any time, let's crack on with the Dragon Ball news, shall we? Bandai Namco has released a short gameplay clip of Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 which showcases player character transformation. As fans will know, transformations...
News Fans Have Decided Which DLC Characters Will Be Joining One Piece: Burning Blood
New blood
The polls have closed and the results are in: Bandai Namco has revealed which three characters will be added to One Piece: Burning Blood's playable roster as downloadable content. The trio of additional fighters were voted for by fans through an online poll in which 17 new combatants were proposed. Lucci, Caesar Clown, and Monkey D. Garp...
News UK Sales Charts: Ain't No Forcing LEGO Star Wars from Summit
Rey to go
These UK sales charts reports are going to get really boring for a good few weeks now, so strap yourself in and prepare to grit your teeth. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens has held on to the top spot for a second successive week, force choking the competition out of the race. Overwatch finished in second, while DOOM, FIFA 16, and Rocket...
News No Man's Sky File Size Isn't as Big as You May Think on PS4
Every man's sky
Being a game that houses infinity and beyond, you'd be forgiven for assuming that No Man's Sky will take up a hefty chunk of your PlayStation 4's hard drive, but thankfully that won't be the case. According to Hello Games' ever informative boss Sean Murray, the space sim will weigh in at only 6GB on disc, and we'd imagine that as a...
Push Rewind 7 Days to Die, Adam Boyes' Exit, No Man's Sky
And not much else
It's been about as far away from being a vintage week here at Push Square Towers as is possible, with very little happening on Planet PlayStation over the past seven days. The summer's sometimes like that, though, and we're sure that there'll be an uptick in enthusiasm as Gamescom quietly draws near. Reviews: 7 Days to Die -...
News Mai You Give a Warm Welcome to Dead or Alive 5's Newest Challenger
King of Fighters favourite makes a cameo
King of Fighters fans will find their attention split between the latest entry in the age-old arcade series and Dead or Alive 5: Last Round this September, as series veteran Mai Shiranui will be battling her way into Koei Tecmo's flagship fighter as paid downloadable content. We honestly couldn't think of a...
News Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Will Make Your Eyes Pop in Virtual Reality
Killer app
Sony may want to make some more PlayStation VR pre-orders available, as Koei Tecmo has confirmed that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 – the sexy holiday simulator – will support the headset from launch. A free update will be made available from 13th October for existing owners, as well as those who have downloaded the free-to-play version...
News Demon's Souls Remaster Could Crawl Up and Die on Your PS4
Sony would need to find a developer, though
While we'd assumed that the industry was collectively done with remasters, it seems that there's still plenty of pent-up demand for a re-release of Demon's Souls on the PlayStation 4. And it could still happen according to director Hidetaka Miyazaki – it's just unlikely that From Software will be at the...
Swing when you’re winning
It's been 12 long years since Activision dangled Spider-Man 2 in front of our eyes, and we lapped it up like the Kingpin at an all you can eat buffet. Treyarch's memorable open world outing is widely considered as the web-slinger's finest hour on a games console, and Insomniac will have its work cut out if it hopes to...
Review Full Mojo Rampage (PS4)
Get a Loa this
Roguelikes are ten a penny these days. You've probably played at least one; Spelunky, The Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy, and Enter the Gungeon are just the tip of the iceberg. It also happens that they're all excellent, each putting its own spin on the permadeath, randomly generated crunchiness that the genre is known for. Full Mojo...
Review LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (PS4)
BB on board
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a return to the beloved galaxy which is always in constant conflict between good and evil. This time you will be retold the story of the most recent film, The Force Awakens, and you'll be following the new characters Finn, Rey, and Poe as they team up with the well-known resistance fighters from...
Round Up Are Song of the Deep's PS4 Reviews Singing or Minging?
Under the sea
Insomniac Games surely must be the busiest developer in the industry right now. It's only just finished up Ratchet & Clank and it's already busy beavering away on Spider-Man, and that's excluding the handful of Oculus Rift titles that it's working on as well. Song of the Deep is yet another title being developed by the industrious...
News Shadow of the Colossus' Influence Looms Large Over Prey for the Gods
Agro! Agro!
Shadow of the Colossus is comfortably one of the greatest games ever made, and its influence is clear to see in Prey for the Gods – an upcoming survival action game set in an icy island environment. The title, which is being created by just three people, launched its Kickstarter campaign this week – with a $300,000 goal for t
Talking Point Is It Time for PSone Classics on PS4?
Old-school
This week saw the release of two PlayStation 2 titles on the PlayStation 4: The Warriors and Metal Slug Anthology. The two articles that we wrote confirming these releases went on to become among the most viewed on the website over the past seven days, proving that there's pent-up demand for these retro re-releases. But isn't it time that...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 125
A weekend of sport
Hype! This weekend not only plays host to the final of Wimbledon but also Euro 2016, meaning that everyone here at Push Square Towers has a date with BBC1 this Sunday. As for you Americans, we're sure that there's some basketball on or something. Sammy Barker, Editor: I opted to review Energy Hook because… Well, I haven't...
News Adr1ft Coming to PS4 This Month
Gravity's a bitch
Space survival sim Adr1ft is set to launch on PlayStation 4 on 15th July, according to creator Adam Orth. Although the game was designed with VR in mind – and, indeed, delayed from its original PC release to accommodate the launch of Oculus Rift – the PS4 version is yet to be confirmed for PlayStation VR when it launches in...
News New Documentary Will Depict How PlayStation Conquered the World
And you can help fund it
PlayStation's big business these days, but that wasn't always the case. Back in the early 90s, electronics giant Sony was rather reluctant to create its own console – with its board of directors voting against Ken Kutaragi's proposal. The firm's wily CEO Norio Ohga believed in the project so much, though, that he sent the...
News Uncharted 4 Hastily Discounted in EU PlayStation Store Flash Sale
Treasure trove
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is comfortably one of the best games of the year, and now it's available for less on the European PlayStation Store. While the discount doesn't cut particularly deep, the title can currently be purchased digitally in the UK for £34.99, which is less than the likes of
Round Up Rubber Neck Carmageddon: Max Damage's PS4 Reviews
Car crash
We're taking a little more time with Carmageddon: Max Damage before bringing you our verdict, but other critics have uploaded their thoughts this morning. Sadly, the reviews are all twisted metal and broken bumpers right now – and not in a particularly good way. Here's what the industry thinks of Stainless Games' seemingly stained reboot...
News Popular PlayStation Suit Adam Boyes Is Leaving Sony
Getting back to game development
Adam Boyes has one of the most recognisable faces at PlayStation – but the Vice President of Developer and Publisher Relations is moving on. The suit – perhaps best known for announcing Final Fantasy VII Remake and Shenmue III at last year's E3, as well as featuring in
News Unreal Engine Maker Can't Wait for PS4K
Neo glee-o
The sentiment here at Push Square Towers, in general, is that we're really excited for the PlayStation 4K – or Neo, as it's codenamed. For us, it represents a new console launch which is always fun, but it's also going to be thrilling to see exactly how Sony positions it – and how it's received by the general public. Plus, shiny new...

News No Man's Sky Is Finally, Finally Finished on PS4
Space awaits
The wait has been longer than an intergalactic tour of the universe, but No Man's Sky is finally finished on the PlayStation 4. Hello Games founder Sean Murray – who's sprouted a rather feral beard during the gruelling development cycle – confirmed the news on Twitter earlier this evening, with a photograph of the Guildford-based...
Interview Solving Mysteries with Sherlock Holmes Developer Frogwares
From calibash pipes to eldritch horrors
Ukrainian developer Frogwares has been making Sherlock Holmes games for 15 years now, slowly improving and reshaping a solid adventure model.

News Ensure You Have Enough Cash for Resident Evil 4 on PS4, Stranger
Hehehe, thank you
What're yer buyin' on 30th August? Resident Evil 4, of course. The legendary third-person shooter – which is surely in the running for the greatest game ever made – will lurch its way to the PlayStation 4 on 30th August, publisher Capcom has announced. There's no word on a price yet, but both Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6...
News Sculpt Your Hair in Anticipation for Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2's PS4 Collector's Edition
Antigrav gel
Picture the scene: all is quiet at Push Square Towers, aside from the sound of yours truly nibbling away on a Tootsie Roll. Dubbidoo. An email alert – it's from Bandai Namco. Perhaps it's confirmation of The Witcher 3's previously reported Game of the Year Edition? Maybe it includes screenshots of Dark Souls III'
Kill me
The premise behind 7 Days to Die is strong: it's an open-world zombie survival horror game smashed together with the crafting and building elements of Minecraft. That description sounds compelling, but the final product doesn't come anywhere near to being fun. Before you jump into the actual game, you are given a plethora of options to...
News This PS4, Vita Game About Freakin' Fonts Genuinely Sounds Interesting
Not your type?
We've discussed in the past how the video game medium could perhaps be better leveraged for education, and so this upcoming title about, er, typefaces has us intrigued. The bold [Sorry – Ed] experience, launching on the PlayStation 4 and Vita next week, sees you assume the role of two full-stops, who must work their way through...
News Evolve Will Be Playable for Free on PS4 Soon
Admits original release caused a "s***storm"
As expected, Evolve really is going free-to-play – but not on the PlayStation 4 just yet. While PC players will be able to download the complimentary client's beta starting today, fans of Sony's system will need to wait until Turtle Rock's got everything in order. Once it's satisfied with the PC...
News Gravity Rush 2's Japanese PS4 Release Date to Tumble Out of 19th July Event
Meow
Gravity Rush 2 – known as Gravity Daze 2 overseas, of course – will be dated in Japan during a presentation scheduled for 19th July. The event will be hosted at Ebisu Act Square, and will begin at 14:30PM JST – about 06:30AM BST if you're in the UK. It'll be attended by series creator Keiichiro Toyama, composer Kohei Tanaka, and SIEJ...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Sells a Few Units, People Like Robots
The usual
Oh, right – the Japanese sales charts. Ramsey would rampage if he knew we'd skipped this weekly staple, so let's break it down: PlayStation 4 is continuing to sell steady in the East, and should break the three million unit milestone imminently; local gamers have been snapping up a game called Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers in...
News Is PS4 Shooter Evolve About to Go Free to Play?
Level up
Remember Evolve? It was that game by the ex-Left 4 Dead devs that won a slew of awards prior to release, and then was swiftly ignored by gamers and the media once it actually launched. Well, it looks like it's about to make a comeback – or at least try to, we suppose. Turtle Rock, the studio behind the shooter, has put a countdown on the...
News Lara Croft's Tomb Raider Will Rise on PS4 This Holiday
But still no firm date
The saga of Rise of the Tomb Raider continues – well, sort of. Despite not being mentioned at E3 2016 last month, Square Enix has reiterated in a Q&A that the game is still on track for release later this year on the PlayStation 4. According to Crystal Dynamics via an admin on the publisher's
Hands On Seeking the Light in Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
Saving the best for last
It's no secret that the Kingdom Hearts series has transformed into quite a meandering and occasionally confusing beast. After 2005's Kingdom Hearts II, the series spread itself across three additional platforms and continued telling side stories that expanded the lore, but never strictly progressed it any further than where...
News Make Sure That Anthony Martial Is FIFA 17's Cover Star
He came from France
As is the case almost every year, you can vote for the face of FIFA 17 right now. Fortunately, Liverpool's bargain bin Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, is not in the running this year – with Real Madrid's James Rodriguez, Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus, Chelsea's Eden Hazard, and Manchester United's Anthony Martial in the...
News Dead Island's Deep Silver to Publish Persona 5 in Europe
SEGA's washing its hair
Persona 5 finally has a publisher in Europe – and its Dead Island's Deep Silver who's taking the reins. The company previously collaborated with Atlus to bring Catherine to the Old World, so it's a partnership that makes sense – though why owner SEGA can't just do it itself, we'll never know. It looks like the...
News PS4 Exclusive Alienation Loots Local Co-Op Patch
Stronger together
Alienation didn't set the world alight quite like Resogun before it, but in a year that's seen the release of several strong PlayStation 4 exclusives, it's one of the better ones. And now it's been updated as part of patch v1.03, bringing with it the local co-op support which was promised all the way back at launch. You'll be able...
News The Witcher III Will Get a PS4 Game of the Year Edition Deserving of Its Name
Triss-tastic
We didn't vote The Witcher III: Wild Hunt as our Game of the Year – that coveted accolade went to the unbelievably good Bloodborne – but it came mighty close. We're also comfortable admitting that we were in the minority – the last we read, over 240 individual publications had awarded CD Projekt Red's fantasy epic their top gong...
News Sony Submits Paperwork for USB Dongle
Slow news day
The news has well and truly dried up in the wake of E3 2016 – just look at the headline to this article for proof. Yes, it's true: Sony has submitted a filing to the Federal Communications Commission for a USB dongle. The proposed product was submitted by the PlayStation division, but it's unclear what it actually does. Kill us now...

Old cool
It's a good week for PlayStation 2 titles on the North American PlayStation Store, with both the Metal Slug Anthology and The Warriors rolling out as part of Sony's emulation initiative. Other major releases this time include Furi, Lost Sea, and The Banner
Review Professional Farmer 2017 (PS4)
Cull the crops
It's never nice comparing a game to an infinitely superior peer – especially when that title scored an uninspiring 6/10 on this very site. Professional Farmer 2017 is so mind-bogglingly bad, though, that it makes Farming Simulator 15 look like Game of the Year in comparison. This is a cynical cash-grab trying to capitalise on the...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn, PlayStation VR Win E3 2016 Awards
But Zelda beats PlayStation's best
The annual Game Critics Awards winners are in – and the PlayStation 4 has won big yet again. While it was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that took the coveted E3 2016 Best of Show gong, Horizon: Zero Dawn won Best Original Game, while PlayStation VR took home the Best Hardware/Peripheral trophy. Other...
Why aren’t you helping?
A cacophony greets your ears upon starting up Asemblance. Alarms blare somewhere in the distance as a synthetic voice asks you why you aren't helping, how you feel, and what you remember. The problem is, we don't remember anything. How could we? We just started. Nilo Studios' debut makes a rather striking first impression...
Review Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII (PS4)
Romance is not dead
Strategy used to have a comfortable home on PlayStation: ports of Westwood's Command & Conquer series, Bullfrog's Theme games and the likes of Populous and The Bitmap Brothers' excellent Z, can often evoke fond memories in many a 'Station stalwart. But the genre fell by the wayside in later generations, with a slim selection...
News Is Limbo Dev Playdead's Inside Coming to PS4?
Studio wants game in as many hands as possible
One game that's been not-so quietly drawing plenty of plaudits over the past couple of weeks is Limbo developer Playdead's Inside.

Store Update 5th July 2016 (Europe)
Hell hath no Furi
We tend to say it every week, but these European PlayStation Store updates do seem to get bigger every single time.

If you're a Japanese gamer who loves LittleBigPlanet, then you may want to start tapping down on your d-pad: Sony's shutting down the servers for all three of the main games, as well as LittleBigPlanet Karting, LittleBigPlanet Vita, and LittleBigPlanet Portable.

News Rockstar's The Warriors Brawls to PS4
Can you dig it?
Rockstar's made some unexpected games over the years, with The Warriors being one of them. Based upon the 1979 movie of the same name – which itself was inspired by a 1965 novel – the game's essentially a beat-'em-up, which originally released all the way back in 2005 on the PlayStation 2. And now, via Sony's emulation...
Simply Redfield
Don't let anyone tell you that Resident Evil 5's a rotter – it's only partially decomposed. Seven years removed from its original release, Capcom's controversial African adventure remains somewhat entertaining – even if old problems die hard. This schizophrenic outback outing has a bit of an identity crisis, but its biggest issue...
News Resident Evil 7 Breaks PS4 Demo Records
Giving other games the finger
Resident Evil 7's self-contained demo experience Beginning Hour has set the record for PlayStation 4 demo downloads in North America, becoming the most coveted slice of sampler content in its first week of release.

News PlayStation VR's Not Released Yet, But It's Already Sold Out
Sony not accepting launch pre-orders anymore
Not got a pre-order for PlayStation VR? You're probably going to struggle to secure one on launch day. Sony hinted at E3 2016 that stocks of the futuristic facemask may be light, and it's since told IGN that all pre-orders have been exhausted. This means that the platform holder will not be making any...
