Fallout 4 Continues Sales Momentum in the UK, April's Best-Selling Game | Push Square

Originally a 2022 title in Japan, Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch now has a Western release date on PS5. The highly rated (and lovingly drawn) visual novel launches on the 22nd August, and will include previously released DLC, as well as developer commentary.

According to Sony's latest financial briefing, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has topped a rather impressive 11 million sales. The PS5 exclusive launched in October of last year, and got off to a flying start as the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game to date. It moved a staggering 2.5 million copies in the space of 24 hours.

Stellar Blade is an outrageously beautiful game – and no, we’re not just referring to protagonist Eve and her many outfits. There are some artistically stunning moments throughout the campaign, and as is tradition for big PS5 titles, fans want to capture them all. Fortunately, developer Shift Up is busy beavering away on a Photo Mode, which will likely be the release’s next major addition following last week’s Boss Challenge update.

Discord has announced that it will roll back its ambitious plans to become a broader communication app after rediscovering its roots as a private place to yell at your friends while gaming. This means an opportunity for a redesign with group messages, voice chats, video calls and more being reworked.

Sony has finally announced the heavily rumoured State of Play presentation. It'll be going out live tomorrow, 30th May 2024.

As part of its business segment meeting overnight, Sony categorised all of its first-party studios based on the type of content they’ll be delivering. It divided its teams into four segments: Single Player Narrative Focus, Partner Studios, Evolving and Multi Genre, and Live Service Focus. Here’s how it divided its portfolio up:

The Dell G15 gaming laptop is already an extremely popular device, but it will likely end up in the hands of more gamers because of Dell’s $200 discount for the machine. From the original price of $900 for a configuration that features the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, it’s down to an even more affordable $700. Gaming laptop deals like this almost always end sooner than expected because of the high demand though, so you need to complete your purchase for it immediately if you want to pocket the savings.

Demand for a remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door had been high for a long time, and now that the beloved RPG has been brought over to the Switch, its initial sales are reflecting that high demand.

Sony has replaced outgoing CEO Jim Ryan with an all-star tag-team partnership: Hermen Hulst will lead PS Studios and its intellectual property, while Hideaki Nishino will focus on hardware and services. The pair, together, will be tasked with leading PlayStation into a new era, as PS5 enters the latter half of its lifecycle and the company explores new initiatives, like PC, mobile, and television.

If you’re yet to sample one of PlayStation’s greatest ever games, there’s no excuse for PS Plus Premium members: Sony has added a two hour trial of The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered to the top-tier of its subscription service. That 120 minutes should give you just enough time to see the title’s controversial twist, which will either hook you or turn you off entirely. Without spoiling anything, let’s just say you’ll look at golf clubs in a different way.

Speculation surrounding a new game from Toys for Bob is currently doing the rounds after the team updated its website to a singular shot of its Crash Bandicoot-inspired logo of a purple Tiki mask. The studio, which went independent earlier this year, is best known for its work creating Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which brought back the first three PS1 classics on PS4.

It's been a torturous week for Microsoft, but we aren't quite at the weekend yet. New reporting suggests that longtime employees and even some of the brand's founders agree that things have shifted so dramatically at Xbox since the bad old days that, effectively: «It's no longer Xbox, but Microsoft Gaming.»
