But it goes without saying that things haven't gone to plan. Relative to the...
Hell yeah
PlayStation has published the PS Store sales charts for April, and the rankings make for an interesting read. High-profile PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade did pretty well, rocking up to second in North America and fourth in Europe. That's not quite on par with what we'd expect from, say, a AAA PlayStation Studios title, but it's still a very...

Shibuya scramble

News This Year's Call of Duty May Not Be Included in Xbox Game Pass After All
Microsoft keeping a close eye on the financials

News Mark Hamill Reprises Role as The Joker for MultiVersus on PS5, PS4
"Get a load of me"
The relaunch campaign for MultiVersus has been strange to say the least. We’d expected Player First Games to go hard on all the new content it’s bringing to the title after it was unceremoniously taken offline several months ago, but outside of a 28th May release date, it’s not actually annou
News Prey 2 Fan Account Falls Silent Following Arkane Studio Closure, Ending 2,560-Day Streak
"This isn't a dream. It's a nightmare. (Day 2,560)"
As we all come to terms with the news that Microsoft has shuttered several of its studios, including Arkane Austin, some are taking the news harder than others. Case in point: A Prey fan account that has been tweeting about the hoped-for sequel for 2,560 days straight has now fallen ominously...

Only announced back in February, Gundam Breaker 4 now has a confirmed release date.

News Gaming Subs Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Aren't Growing At All
Stagnant for several years now
There was immense pressure on Sony at the beginning of the generation to copy Xbox Game Pass’ model of day one first-party releases, but as time goes by, it’s beginning to look like the Japanese giant dodged a bullet. While it has significantly improved its PS Plus offerings, the platform holder has always argued...

News Metaphor: ReFantazio Might Be the Most Stylish Atlus Game Ever, Going By New Screenshots
Metaphwoar
If you asked us for our opinion on the most stylish game in existence, we'd be very tempted to say Persona 5 takes the cake. We'd maybe argue that the more recent Persona 3 Reload is up there too. But Atlus might well have topped its own masterworks with the upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio, which just looks ridiculously good in these new...
