News Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Is Getting All-Important Rollback Netcode on PS4
After launch, though
When Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was announced for a PlayStation 4 re-release, many fighting game fans wanted the answer to just one question: will it have rollback netcode? For those who might not know, rollback is pretty much the most reliable form of netcode for fighters, allowing smooth online play. Rollback has been a key...
News Digimon Survive Is Surviving, But Still No Sign of a Release Date
Just '2022'
How many more Digimon Survive stories do we have to write? The long awaited role-playing game has been scuppered by delays and development troubles for getting on four years now, and there's still no confirmed release date in sight — just a vague '2022' window. We do, however, have a new trailer, and some additional information from...
News PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for March 2022 Are Available Now
GTA Online coming a little later though
After a somewhat tame selection last month, PlayStation Plus is looking healthier in March 2022. The monthly lineup is four games strong this time — five when you include GTA Online, coming later down the line — and they're all available to download right now. Yes, the rollout has begun, meaning you can...
News Pac-Man Museum+ Is an All You Can Eat Buffet of Arcade Classics Coming to PS4 in May
It's packed, man
Pac-Man has been munching his way through little yellow dots and big blue ghosts since the 80s, which you'd think would put him into an early retirement. However, the ever-hungry hero keeps bouncing back, and Bandai Namco is preparing his latest game, Pac-Man Museum+, for release on PlayStation 4. It's a collection that bundles...
News No Platinum Trophy for Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok
In fact, just nine Trophies in total
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok is, effectively, an expansion, so it perhaps won’t come as a huge surprise that it doesn’t have a Platinum Trophy. However, its meagre nine pots seem disappointing for something Ubisoft is billing as the biggest add-on in its stealth series’ long and illustrious...

News PS Now Subscribers Score Four New PS4 Games in March 2022
And one of them is a brand new, previously unreleased title
PS Now is looking like it will almost certainly be phased out in favour of a rebooted PS Plus subscription, but Sony’s going through the motions for existing members. And this month’s PS Now lineup is actually unprecedented: members are getting a brand new, previously unreleased title...

News PS Plus' Ill-Received February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Will Be Rotated Imminently
Still time to nab them
One of the worst received PS Plus updates, February 2022, will be rotated tomorrow, 1st March. This means it’s your last chance to download Planet Coaster: Console Edition, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, and EA Sports UFC 4. In a
Soapbox It's Okay to Enjoy Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West
Why not both?
History has a way of repeating itself, and just like Horizon Zero Dawn in 2017, the discourse surrounding Horizon Forbidden West has been destroyed by the arrival of an alternative open world game. Twitter is awash with the repetition of an increasingly tedious gag: apparently gamers can’t wait for the third instalment in Guerrilla...
News Elden Ring PS5 Patch Solves Save Data Issues
Unexpected game closures plugged
Late last week we reported that FromSoftware had cautioned against leaving Elden Ring in Rest Mode, as unexpected game closures were causing lost progress. The advice, coming courtesy of publisher Bandai Namco, was to, at the very least, quit to the main menu screen to ensure that your save data got properly stored...
Hands On Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Feels Like the Tightest, Most Polished Borderlands Yet
A familiar fantasy, but still magic
It’s been almost a decade now since the release of Borderlands 2’s Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC, which reframed the looter shooter as a Dungeons and Dragons-style tabletop campaign DM’d by the titular Tiny Tina. Acclaimed as that mini-campaign was, it’s a little unusual to see Tiny Tina’s...
News Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Platinum Will Be Time Consuming But Attainable
Fast and not-so furious
According to Sony’s own statistics, just 0.1 per cent of GT Sport owners managed to unlock the Platinum Trophy. That’s because Polyphony Digital included some absolute slog gongs, requiring 91 online wins and a ludicrous amount of XP to reach Level 50. It looks like the Japanese developer has learned its lesson, as Gran...
News UK Sales Charts: 80% of Elden Ring's Boxed Sales on PS5, PS4
Biggest Souls launch ever
An eye-watering 80 per cent of Elden Ring’s physical sales in the UK were purchased on the PlayStation 5 and PS4. Of the overall sales mix, 63 per cent of players plumped up for the PlayStation 5 version, while 17 per cent skewered the punishing action RPG on the PS4. Just three per cent purchased a boxed PC copy, with...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Horizon Forbidden West?
Forbidden best?
It's been a week or so since Horizon Forbidden West released on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Aloy's sophomore adventure has already proven to be a very popular release — both with critics and PlayStation fans. But if you had to give it a review score, how would you rate it? We gave it a 9/10 in our Horizon Forbidden West PS5...

It’s 2 AM. The raucous sounds of laughter ring throughout the house. Try as I may, I just can’t stop my cackling. You see, I just drew another card, bringing my total hand size to thirty. And my friends and I can’t help but find the whole situation hilarious. When it comes to gaming, there are a...
News Horizon Forbidden West PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting DLC Expansions
Another Aloy adventure?
There’s a strong chance you’ve barely scratched the surface of Horizon Forbidden West, but even if you’ve barely made it out of The Daunt, you may be interested to learn that DLC expansions could be on the way. A video published by VSC Rating Board, the “statutory body which rates video games in the UK”, mentions...
News Steam Deck Is Running PS4 Games Like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn Remarkably Well
Next-gen PS Vita
Always dreamed of a next-gen PS Vita handheld? Well, it’s beginning to sound like Valve’s super-powered portable PC, the Steam Deck, may actually be that. With Sony’s recent strategy of porting tentpole PlayStation 4 titles to storefronts like Steam, games like Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War are proving interesting...
News Permanent PS Now Games Leaving the Service without Much Notice
Another sign of Spartacus?
Nothing is permanent in this digital age, of course – it’s one of the major reasons many gamers still advocate for physical media. When it comes to PS Now, it’s expected that titles will come and go – many are even added to the service with hard deadlines of when they’ll be removed. Other titles are considered to...
Guide Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for March and April 2022
Gran Turismo! Ghostwire Tokyo! LEGO Star Wars!
We're still feeling the shockwaves of February's big game releases, but time waits for no one, and 2022 has plenty up its sleeves yet. In fact, some of the year's biggest titles are hitting over the next couple of months — it's already hard to keep up, but this is ridiculous. Something for pretty much...
Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for March 2022?
Plus or minus?
March 2022 has turned out to be something of a bumper month for PlayStation Plus. Four titles are up for grabs — technically five if you count GTA Online going free for subscribers in a couple of weeks — and as far as we're concerned, it's not a bad selection in terms of variety. Just to recap, PS Plus March 2022 consists of...
News Special Gift to Be Given to Sifu Deluxe Edition Owners on PS5, PS4
More outfits to follow
Sifu’s launch, as you may recall, did not go according to plan. Many fans paid extra for the devastating brawler’s Deluxe Edition in order to play early, but lost a chunk of that Early Access window due to an issue with the PS Store. The game’s developer, Sloclap, promised it would make up for it – and earlier this...
News Shoddy GTA Trilogy Remasters to Get PS5, PS4 Patches Soon
Claude almighty
Rockstar’s disappointing GTA Trilogy remasters will get a new patch next week, presumably addressing any other outstanding issues with these shoddy re-releases. The package – featuring GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas – launched last year, and was quickly ridiculed for its poor performance and presentation. The...
News Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Shipping a Week Before Launch
Tons of physical copies out in the wild

Ghost with the most
PS Plus' lineup for March 2022 has been officially announced, and if you can believe it, the leaks are back!

Random Elden Ring PS1 Demake Looks Sharp Enough to Take Someone's Eye Out
All those angles
Sure, modern gaming is all well and good with high definition graphics, motion-captured animation, and astronomical production values, but we'd scrap all that in an instant if we could have those very same games on the original PlayStation's hardware. Alright, that's a lie, to be honest, but there is something about PS1-era visuals...
News Horizon Forbidden West Drives Strong PS5, PS4 Digital Sales
Almost 50 per cent in the UK
Horizon Forbidden West got off to a strong start in the UK, but its sales were down slightly compared to Horizon Zero Dawn. Of course, it’s important to remember that those initial sales only reflected physical copies, and the industry is increasingly shifting towards digital – even when it comes to story-based,...
News Horizon Forbidden West's Gorgeous Soundtrack Now Available on Streaming Services
Some of it, anyway
Update: It's been brought to our attention (thanks, Voltan) that the below soundtrack is actually only the first of three volumes. Parts two and three of Forbidden West's OST will follow onto streaming services on 11th and 25th March respectively. Still, there's lots of music to listen to already, so plug in and soak in the atmos...
News Elden Ring PS5 Patch Planned to Resolve Save Data Issues
No mention of console framerate woes, though
Elden Ring is out on PlayStation 5 and PS4 today, but despite being crowned as one of best games ever made, it’s not without its issues. Some have recommended playing the last-gen version of the game on Sony’s new-gen console, as that’s the only way to ensure a consistent framerate. There are als

It Takes Two claims Game of the Year once again
The DICE Awards, run each year by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, has just concluded, and once again, Sony is walking away with a number of trophies to pop in its cabinet. The most awarded game at this year's event is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which claims four awards —...
News Elden Ring Ray Tracing Will Give Graphics a Shine in Future Updates
Time to reflect
Elden Ring is now out, and it's being billed as the best thing since sliced bread everywhere you turn. It's hard not to be a little excited, even if some of the game's spotty performance means it's not always a silky smooth adventure. Even with the latest patch (1.02), framerates are somewhat inconsistent; the current recommendation...
Review FAR: Changing Tides (PS5) - More of the Same Isn't Always Bad
For the tides, they are a-changin’
The first FAR title, FAR: Lone Sails, was a clever, gorgeous puzzle game about guiding a vehicle across an apocalyptic landscape. So, there was cause to rejoice when developer Okomotive announced it’d be helming a sequel, returning to the exciting world it had crafted. And the reward for that is a fresh new...

News PS5, PS4's Revamped PS Plus Sub Allegedly Outlined in Report
"Pretty close to launching"
If this report is accurate, then we’d strongly recommend Sony goes back to the drawing board – and fast. New details have emerged regarding PlayStation’s revamped PS Plus subscription service, which is “pretty close to actually launching”. The problem? It sounds like pretty poor value for money based on what’s...
News Assassin's Creed Valhalla Is Free For the Weekend on PS5, PS4
Raise the sail
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is totally free to play on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 right now, until the 28th February.

On that note, it's worth mentioning that Valhalla is currently 60 per cent...
News Knockout City Going Free-to-Play Later This Year on PS5, PS4
Velan Studios now self-publishing
Knockout City has always been free-to-start, allowing players to enjoy the game up to a certain point before hitting a paywall. However, there was always the feeling the dodgebrawling multiplayer title should just take the free-to-play route. As it turns out, developer Velan Studios agrees, because that's exactly...
News Cute and Creepy Dungeon Crawler Cult of the Lamb Confirmed for PS5, PS4 in 2022
Enough of your bleating
First announced during Gamescom 2021, Cult of the Lamb is a sinister base-building dungeon crawler with a deceptively cute art style. It certainly caught our eye last year — and not just because it's being published by the ever-reliable Devolver Digital. Anyway, Cult of the Lamb now has confirmed platforms. It's coming to...
News Gran Turismo 7 Trailer Pits Real-Life Against PS5
And the winner is?
Judging by this comparison video, the framerate in real-life is awful! Sony’s released a video pitting Gran Turismo 7’s virtual rendition of Willow Springs against the real thing, and it makes for compelling viewing. The in-car footage is using a GoPro in the cockpit, so it looks a lot livelier than the game’s silky smooth...
News Playing Elden Ring's PS4 Version on PS5 Might Be Your Best Bet for a Stable Framerate
Current-last-gen
As noted in our Elden Ring PS5 review in progress, the otherwise superb RPG suffers from an uneven frame-rate and some visual blemishes on Sony's current-gen console. Perhaps expected, given that the closed network test was a bit wonky as well, but still disappointing. Anyway, those eggheads over at Digital Foundry have been...
News Cyberpunk Shooter-RPG The Ascent Guns for March Release Date on PS5, PS4
Lock and load
Following a period of console exclusivity on Xbox platforms, The Ascent will officially arrive on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on the 24th March. For those who may not be familiar, The Ascent is an isometric shooter with RPG elements, like side quests, character building, skill trees, and loot. It received decent reviews at launch,...
Cauldron of Dreams
The Atelier games are a somewhat niche Japanese RPG series so it might surprise some to know that it's actually been around for 25 years, with 23 games in the main series and a heck of a lot of enhanced ports and side games. To celebrate this impressive achievement, developer Gust has decided to go back and continue the story of...

While there will no doubt be updates and patches post-launch, it's always good news to hear a...
Round Up Elden Ring PS5, PS4 Reviews Crown One of the Best Games of All Time
Game of thrones
Elden Ring reviews are in, and perhaps crucially, scored Elden Ring reviews are in. Media had roughly a week to play through this 100-hour opus, so we’ve pumped the brakes on our score for the time being; it’s unlikely many review outlets have reached the credits of this release. That’s not stopping sites from declaring it one...
News PS5, PS4 Rumourmongers Reckon a Sony Showcase Is Coming in March
All aboard
With the release of Gran Turismo 7 next week, Sony will have effectively emptied its release slate. We know that God of War Ragnarok is due out this year, but it’s still not dated – and beyond that, there’s only Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine on the horizon. Neither game is likely to launch until late 2023 at the...
News GRID Legends Looks Like the Yin to Gran Turismo 7's Yang in Launch Trailer
The race for your wallet
There are two racing games heading to PlayStation 5 and PS4 very soon indeed, and fortunately, they're coming at motorsport from different angles.

Republished on Wednesday, 23rd January, 2022: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of March 2022's PS Plus lineup. The original text follows.

News Sony Goes Game Pass By Putting Shadow Warrior 3 on PS Now at Launch
Like a pass, you know, for games
Shadow Warrior 3 is looking like a rollicking good time, isn't it? Like a fantasy-tinged spin on shooters like DOOM, this PlayStation 4 title is lighting up Sony's console very soon, on 1st March. Furthermore — in a move we're fairly certain is a first — the game will arrive on PS Now on the very same day...

The ad’s pretty good by the way: it leans into the #FindYourLine...
News In Traditional Square Enix Style, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Underperformed
But it's back on track
It’s a shock that Square Enix greenlights any games anymore, as it almost always announces its projects have underperformed afterwards. This is perhaps best evidenced by its Tomb Raider reboot, which sold millions of copies at launch, and was still dubbed a failure by upper-management. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has...
Talking Point What PS Plus Games for PS5, PS4 in March 2022 Do You Want?
When will PS Plus be announced?
What are the March 2022 PS Plus games for PS5 and PS4 and when will the March 2022 PS Plus games be announced? It seems like Sony has snuffed out its mole as, at the time of writing, there's been no PS Plus leak. Last month's selection of Planet Coaster: Console Edition, EA Sports UFC 4, and T
News Street Fighter 6's Logo Is Basically An Adobe Stock Graphic
Oh no
If we’re honest, there are more people talking about Street Fighter 6’s logo than the actual game. To be fair, Capcom’s late night reveal didn’t give us a fat lot to chat about: Ryu’s still got his beard, has a pretty wide torso, and newcomer Luke is returning to the fray. The logo, however, has become a huge talking point. Street...

Potentially published by 2K Games

News Horizon Forbidden West's PS5, PS4 Visual Issues a High Priority, Patch Incoming ASAP
Guerrilla working to resolve HDR, shimmering, and pop-in problems
Horizon Forbidden West looks incredible on both the PlayStation 5 and (perhaps, surprisingly) PS4, but it’s not flawless: its presentation does have a few issues, including HDR hiccups, shimmering, and pop-in. The good news is that developer Guerrilla Games is on the case, and
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Sifu?
All in the mind
Brutal kung fu action title Sifu has been out for a good chunk of time now — and you know what that means! The game's proven to be pretty popular — especially in more hardcore circles that deal with speedruns and other self-imposed challenges. Sifu's one heck of a ride if you can find the time (and patience) to work at it, and as...

Wow, just like that? It's not often that Atlus gets straight to the point, but following a teaser countdown, Soul Hackers 2 has been fully revealed. It even has a (worldwide) release date! This looks like a modern Shin Megami Tensei experience — a party-based RPG with all the familiar demons. And no, it isn't exclusive to a Nintendo...

News In the UK, 70% of Boxed Horizon Forbidden West Buyers Paid More Than They Needed To
British problems

News Horizon Forbidden West Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5, PS4 for No Reason
0/10, apparently
It wouldn’t be a major video game release without gamers exhibiting embarrassing behaviour. Horizon Forbidden West has been quietly racking up disproportionately negative reviews on Metacritic overnight, and while it’s still holding a steady overall user score, the string of 0/10s are obviously beginning to look disingenuous...
News Elden Ring's PS5, PS4 Overview Trailer Is the Extra Hype Your Weekend Needs
Ring of roses
Still undecided on Elden Ring? This trailer will probably do the trick. While it does go quite heavy on locations and enemies – definitely avoid it if you’re on a blackout – it basically digs into everything you can expect from the upcoming FromSoftware open world RPG, spanning traversal to combat and everything in between...

Cyberpunk'd
We should all know by now that things rarely go smoothly when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077 and PlayStation 4.
