The Vita version will launch on the 22nd May, which is just a...
News UK Sales Charts: God of War Sets New PS4 First-Party Record with Fourth Successive No. 1
Beats The Last of Us Remastered's record
God of War has set a new PlayStation 4 first-party record by registering a fourth successive week at the summit of the UK sales charts. Sony Santa Monica’s smash hit overcame a 30 per cent dip in physical sales compared to the previous week, which was enough for it to break The Last of Us: Remastered’s...

News 'Games Under €20' is Back on European PlayStation Store
Deal or no deal
The constant torrent of PlayStation Store sales isn't slowing down any time soon, as Sony has introduced another 'Games Under €20/£16' promotion in Europe. As usual, there's a great spread of titles among the offers, including a modest selection of PS3 and Vita games. God of War III Remastered has been reduced by 60% following...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts God of War Rules Supreme
Word up, boy
It perhaps won’t come as a surprise in the wake of its staggering launch sales that God of War was the best-selling game on the PlayStation Store for the month of April. Kratos’ latest topped in both Europe and North America, beating out Far Cry 5 in both territories. Fellow exclusive MLB The Show 18 finished third in North America,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PlayStation Stays Quiet Over Golden Week
God of War still in top 10
Golden Week was a quiet affair for Sony and PlayStation. Japanese holiday deals didn't seem to have any real impact, with the PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro simply holding steady at around 35,000 units combined. In previous years we've seen some boosted hardware sales during Golden Week, but not this time. The software charts...
News The Pinball Arcade Loses Williams, Bally Licenses on 30th June
Game over
While developer FarSight has mishandled parts of The Pinball Arcade, we always appreciated the attempt at creating an expanding platform filled with realistic-simulations of authentic pinball tables. However, the title’s about to be gutted on 30th June, as the studio has lost its license to all Williams and Bally tables. For an...

Donkey doo
God of War has enjoyed a third week at the summit of the UK sales charts, after fending off Nintendo Switch re-release Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Sales of Kratos’ latest dropped 56 per cent week-over-week, but it still moved more than enough physical units to maintain its position atop the British best sellers list...

Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of April 2018
Gods, wings, swords, and suits
April was a pretty darn good month for PlayStation gaming, and that was thanks to just a handful of top quality titles. But as always, only one release can be crowned Game of the Month -- and no, you don't win any prizes for guessing which title came out on top time this around. Bronze Trophy: The Swords of Ditto:...

No.1 once more
God of War set a record as the fastest selling game in the series, debuting at the top of the weekly UK boxed chart.

News May PlayStation Plus Games Announced
Another good month?
Yep, it's that time of the month again. Sony has unveiled which games PlayStation Plus subscribers will be getting in May 2018, and in our opinion, it's a solid selection. On PlayStation 4, you're getting Beyond: Two Souls and Rayman Legends. Elsewhere, PlayStation 3 users can, er, look forward to Risen 3: Titan Lords and...
News Japanese Sales Charts: God of War Debuts in Second Place on PS4
PS4 numbers still low
God of War enjoyed a semi-decent opening in Japan, moving roughly 46,000 copies and landing in second place. We weren't expecting it to do crazy numbers, but we perhaps thought that it would get a little closer to 100,000. It was beaten out by the newly released Nintendo Labo Variety Kit, which isn't a huge surprise. Things...
News Big in Japan Sale Hits European PlayStation Store
Tokyo look at these deals
Over on the North American PS Store, the Golden Week sale has started, discounting a bunch of Japanese games by up to 60%. Now, the European Store has its own version, named Big in Japan.

News March 2018 NPD: PS4 Tops Hardware Charts as MLB Registers Record
Home run
Sony maintained its position atop the United States hardware charts with another impressive NPD result, outselling all other consoles in the month of March 2018. The console was buoyed by the release of MLB The Show 18, which set a franchise record during its launch month. However, Far Cry 5 unsurprisingly swept aside all competition,...
News Of Course There's a Final Fantasy XV Skin Pack for Minecraft
We expected it sooner
A Final Fantasy XV skin pack for Minecraft? But of course. The pack's available on the PlayStation Store now, coming in at £2.49 in the UK and $4.55 in North America. Square Enix's adventure joins the likes of Mass Effect and Skyrim when it comes to Minecraft add-ons. The more the merrier, we suppose. Given Final Fantasy XV's...
News UK Sales Charts: God of War Sets New Series Record
And so does Yakuza
The new God of War game is the series’ fastest selling entry in the UK – and that’s despite data tracking only a couple of days’ worth of physical sales. In terms of purely boxed units, it outsold God of War III by 35 per cent, but it’s worth remembering that digital sales have increased dramatically in recent years, so...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Falls Further as Japan Suffers Seriously Slow Week
Monster Hunter finally at 2 million
Every now and again, the Japanese sales charts enter a slump and there's barely anything to talk about. Unfortunately, that can be said of the latest figures, which make for some yawn-inducing reading. On the software side of things, a Compile Heart title named Death end re;Quest entered the top five on...
Store Update 17th April 2018 (Europe)
Norse for wear
It’s a quiet week on the European PlayStation Store update, presumably as everything attempts to get out of the way of the only release that matters: God of War. But what’s this? SEGA delayed Yakuza 6 into the same week? Well, that was stupid. Which will you be playing first? PS4 Games: Virry VR with Drozdov 16th April VRFC...
News UK Sales Charts: Far Cry 5 Starts a Cult at Summit
Little else going on
Another desperately slow week for the British games industry concludes with Far Cry 5 at the top of the UK sales charts. This is its third consecutive spell at the summit, which would be nearing a Ubisoft record if God of War wasn’t waiting in the wings to steal its place.

Based on the Fate series that spans manga, anime, and a whole bunch of...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Far Cry 5 Breaks 100k, PS4 Drops Off
Quiet on the Eastern front
There's not much happening in the latest Japanese sales charts. A total lack of new software means that we're left analysing what's already there, and we suppose the biggest news is that Far Cry 5 has broken through 100,000 copies on PlayStation 4. That's not a bad result for Ubisoft. Elsewhere, Monster Hunter: World is...

News UK Sales Charts: Far Cry 5 Is No.1 for Second Week Running
A quiet week
The latest weekly UK chart is in, and, well, not a whole lot has changed. Ubisoft's Far Cry 5, the fastest selling title in the franchise, is still top of the pile. In fact, the top three hasn't changed; FIFA 18 and Sea of Thieves remain in second and third place respectively. A lack of notable new releases means the chart is largely...

Far Cry 5 is Ubisoft's latest blockbuster release, and it's doing pretty well for itself so far.

Despite the release of two relatively big PlayStation 4 titles, Sony's console refused to budge from its current position in the Japanese hardware charts.
