News GRID Legends Update 2.0 Available Now, Adds New Weather Effects, Special Events, More
Check out the patch notes
It does feel like GRID Legends came and went in an instant, doesn't it? Codemasters' racing game was one of the first to be published under EA, featuring live-action story scenes and a wide range of vehicles and events, but there's not really been much buzz. Perhaps the game's latest update, bringing it to version 2.0, will...

News The Ascent Update Actually Disables Cross-Play Between PS5 and PS4
For additional testing purposes
The Ascent stormed onto PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 last month, and we rather liked it in our 7/10 review.

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.
