Essential Picks promotion comes to PlayStation Store

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced the first details of its Black Friday 2023 deals.

Here comes another exciting shopping season, with PlayStation’s Black Friday promotions happening this month. There are a variety of deals on games, hardware, and more across PlayStation Store, direct.playstation.com, PlayStation Gear Store, and at participating retailers. 

LEGO 2K Drive, which launched earlier this year, was the first release in what’s been reported as a multi-year partnership between 2K and LEGO, and the next game from that partnership might be right around the corner. Previous reports have claimed that a LEGO football game is also in the works, which has been prematurely revealed as LEGO 2K Goooal! in multiple age ratings in recent months, and now it seems an announcement for the title might be right around the corner.

Apple has finally caved to the Digital Markets Act, or DMA, and expects to bring some changes to the App Store policies to comply with the EU’s new ruling. Evidence that the company has decided to alter its platform regulations comes in the form of a 10-K financial form, with details present under the ‘Business Risks’ section. This effectively means that the App Store might finally be open to third-party platforms and the possibility of iMessage being interoperable with other messaging services, along with other changes.

Yet more evidence has pointed to an upcoming announcement for Lego 2K Goooal.

Unannounced football game Lego 2K Goooal! has leaked yet again, this time with official artwork via a listing on the PlayStation Store.

It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, PS VR, and free-to-play games topped the download charts this month. The newly released Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swung to the top of October’s PS5 list. For PS VR2, Beat Saber rocked to the top of the list.

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has released November’s first PlayStation Plus games.

The Essential Picks Sale launches on PlayStation Store Wednesday, October 25, bringing with it discounts of up to 75% across a variety of amazing PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 games. That includes titles like Demon’s Souls, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Deluxe Edition and Gotham Knights: Deluxe Edition.

Sony has officially revealed the lineup of PlayStation Plus games for November 2023, showing subscribers just what they'll be able to access in the coming weeks. Each month adds three games available across all tiers of the service, although this always means the prior rotation will no longer be downloadable once the window switches over. The October 2023 games were and, all of which need to be added to a user's library by November 6 in order to keep them accessible in the future.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced the November 2023 Monthly Games lineup for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers. All titles will be available from November 7 to December 4.
