Assassin's Creed Valhalla has been updated numerous times since its launch in November 2020.

Share Play PS5 games on a PS4 console
Sony has announced that the first major PlayStation 5 hardware update will take place tomorrow, adding in support for PS5 games to be stored on external storage devices.

News Curse of the Dead Gods Will Add Dead Cells Crossover Content in New Update
Curse of the Dead Cells
We've not thought about Dead Cells for a while, but it's a corker of a game, isn't it? A really satisfying rogue-lite with cool weapons and items, and meaningful progression. Another rogue-lite that's worth your time is Curse of the Dead Gods, a brutal but engaging dungeon crawler which released recently on PlayStation 4. Why...

Party's over
It hasn't been a smooth ride for Assassin's Creed Valhalla since its launch last year.

News Destruction AllStars Season 1 Will Add Ranked Mode, Battle Pass, and a New Character
Plenty in the pipeline
So, what's next for Destruction AllStars?

News A Set of Free Skins Invades Destroy All Humans PS4 Remake
Complimentary outfits now available
Last year saw the release of THQ Nordic's Destroy All Humans remake on PlayStation 4.

News Destruction AllStars Outlines Future Plans - Featured Playlists, New Cosmetics, More
The show must go on
Destruction AllStars released on PlayStation Plus at the start of this month, and it's fair to say it's not made a huge dent. The PS5 exclusive multiplayer smash-em-up definitely has some things going for it, but it's not quite hooked the big audience it's aiming for. Of course, developer Lucid Games isn't giving up that easily;...

News Spiritfarer to Receive Three Big Content Updates Throughout 2021 on PS4
And they're all free
Spiritfarer launched in August of last year on PlayStation 4, and it's a delightful, relaxing indie game.

Anyway, developer Thunder Lotus has detailed its plans for...
News Assassin's Creed Valhalla Will Have 'Stronger and Longer' Post-Launch Support than Odyssey
Ubisoft doubles down
Assassin's Creed Valhalla has been a huge hit for Ubisoft. The open world Viking adventure released in November last year on both PS5 and PS4.

News Destruction AllStars Update 1.2.3 Is Live Now on PS5, Here Are the Patch Notes
Crash test dummy
Destruction AllStars is a game full of crashes. Most of them are the kind you'd expect, but the PlayStation 5 exclusive has been prone to the odd hiccup here and there.

Guided kills
If you've been busy throwing random objects at witnesses to your botched assassinations in Hitman 3, you may have noticed an update hit the PlayStation 5 yesterday. This new patch, which takes the game to version 1.002, adds some cool functionality, but you wouldn't know because you can't see patch notes on PS5. Fortunately, IO...
News Destruction AllStars PS5 Update 1.2.2 Addresses Voice Chat Complaints
That was fast
A common complaint among Destruction AllStars players is about voice chat. When you enter a lobby before a match starts, you're automatically placed into a party chat with your teammates and opponents, much to the chagrin of those not in the mood for a chat. However, developer Lucid Games has responded very quickly, and a game update...

Earn additional XP
Those of you who have already downloaded and played Destruction AllStars may have noticed a ‘Coming Soon’ window where the title’s Daily and Weekly Challenges are supposed to be.

News Latest Worms Rumble Update Finally Adds Team Deathmatch Mode on PS5, PS4
Team time
Worms Rumble was one of our PlayStation Plus games for December, and it's a surprisingly entertaining spin-off. With faster paced action than the traditionally turn-based Worms series, it's a very different experience, but one worth a shot. One criticism we did have about it was a lack of content at launch, but Team 17 has been updating...

News Predator, Terminator the Next Movie Villains to Invade Fortnite
T-800 deploys
If Avengers: Infinity War still thinks it holds the crown for the biggest media crossover ever, it might want to think again because something else is eating its lunch. Fortnite is continuing to truck along with a frankly ludicrous amount of events that bring the stars of the big-screen to the Battle Royale title — Predator and the...

Coming in February
Going Under kind of fell under the radar a little bit last year, but if you're after a different style of rogue-lite game, it's absolutely worth checking out. If you're unaware, it has you playing as Jackie, an intern tasked with clearing out the cursed offices of failed start-up businesses. You use whatever you can get your hands...
News Don Jerseys from the World's Best Football Teams in Fortnite

News Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Is Now the Best-Selling Game in the Series
Aced it
The Ace Combat series is one that remains fairly niche despite having been around for more than two decades. These arcadey fighter jet action games are beloved by fans for their cheesy stories and fun dogfight gameplay, and the latest iteration is no exception. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown released for PlayStation 4 (with some great...
