News Aussie Artist Tones and I to Debut Songs in Fortnite from 21st January
Dance monkey
Fortnite is more than just a game: it’s a cultural phenomenon. That’s why we barely bat an eyelid these days when Epic Games cooks up something impressively cool, like its Soundwave Series, which is designed to promote (or, for the cynics among you, advertise) new musical talent. And following a successful run last year, it’ll...
News GTA Trilogy Has Done 'Just Great', Exec Says 'Glitch Was Resolved'
Take-Two chief satisfied with remasters
GTA Trilogy has received a few patches since its dismal launch, but it remains below par as Rockstar works to resurrect it. Take-Two and Rockstar overlord Strauss Zelnick is fairly satisfied with the game, though, as he told investors that it’s “done just great” and while it had a “glitch in the...
News All These Activision Blizzard Studios Will Likely Cease PlayStation Development
All the teams on the line
Sony’s slate of PlayStation Studios was once regarded as the strongest in the industry, but even with recent additions like Housemarque and Firesprite, it’s now dwarfed by Microsoft following its publisher shopping spree.

News These Are the Franchises PS5, PS4 May Lose to Activision Blizzard Buyout
There's a lot
Until the ink is dry on Microsoft’s colossal Activision Blizzard buyout, the status of franchises like Call of Duty will likely remain unclear.

Revenue Sony could lose in the future

Musical odyssey ported over

Reaction Activision Blizzard Buyout Is Devastating for PS5, PS4
The end of an era
Is this the end of PlayStation? It’s always easy to get apocalyptic in situations like this, but it’s obviously not. Sony’s gaming division remains a wildly popular brand globally, and no single publisher can ever detract from that.

If you played Fortnite in the early days, you'll know the complete and utter chaos that was dropping at Tilted Towers.

News My Hero Academia Is a Free-to-Play PS4 Battle Royale Now
Sure, why not?
The latest in terrible anime tie-ins is My Hero Academia: Ultra Rumble, a free-to-play PlayStation 4 battle royale from Bandai Namco.

Could be delayed until 2023
It’s been well over a year since we last heard word of Harry Potter-themed open world RPG Hogwarts Legacy, but developer Avalanche Software had promised updates in 2022.

News Zenith: The Last City, an Ambitious PSVR MMO, Launches 27th January
100 hours of virtual reality action
There was scepticism regarding PSVR when it first launched from fans perhaps burned by the PS Vita and other side-projects from Sony.

Till death do us part
Good lord, Techland doesn't shy away from making impressive-sounding promises, does it?

And now, Techland's saying that Dying Light 2...

It's Sony's decision, ultimately
God of War Ragnarok hasn't even gotten a confirmed PlayStation 5, PS4 2022 release date yet and here we are already discussing the possibility of a PC port. That's not a reflection of Sony changing its approach to porting its blockbuster titles to the personal computer, but Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory...
News Dying Light 2 Shares Brief Look at PS4 Console Footage, Looks Good
More gameplay coming soon
The Cyberpunk 2077 console catastrophe has put fans of upcoming games on edge a little when they see titles shown off using PC footage instead of the system they'll actually be playing on. That's understandable, so in the case of Dying Light 2 at least, Techland has shared a brief glimpse at what the open world zombie game...

News 2019 RPG YIIK Getting Huge Overhaul Later This Year
Free update for all players
YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG (pronounced Y-2-K) is a game you probably haven't thought about in a while, and for good reason. It wasn't particularly good when it launched for PlayStation 4 at the very start of 2019, awarded a 5/10 in our review. However, it looks like developer Ackkstudios is taking another stab at things with...

News PS Plus Adds Six Million Deep Rock Galactic Players
That's a lot of miners
Deep Rock Galactic was already popular before it came to PlayStation 5 and PS4 — and in turn PS Plus — at the start of this month, but the game's inclusion in Sony's subscription service has added so many new miners that it has reached a new milestone.

Reaction Can We Chill Out About Sony's Commitment to PS4, Please?
🙄
This week it was reported that Sony would produce a further one million PlayStation 4 consoles through 2022, and the Internet lost its mind.

News Cannibal Cuisine Is Like Overcooked Only You're Cooking People Instead of Pizza
Just a small change
You know a game is a hit when a bundle of similar-but-different titles crop up shortly afterwards. Overcooked is one such example, with many indie games following in its footsteps, aiming to grab that same co-op loving crowd. Case in point: Cannibal Cuisine, which puts a rather dark twist on the formula. In addition to some...

Elexellent
Elex II, eh? The sequel to 2017's incredibly rough but somewhat fun Elex is set to release on the 1st March — and it's promising a better combat system, as you can see in this new trailer. Indeed, combat was one of the original Elex's biggest issues — an often janky mess that simply didn't feel good to play around with. Admittedly,...

Sus'
Among Us ruled supreme during PS Store’s key Christmas month, with the social sensation dominating both the PlayStation 5 and PS4 sales charts in December.
