Motorsport Games to lay off up to 38 employees

The PlayStation Portal launched last week, and early sales for the remote play handheld have been impressive all over the world. So impressive, in fact, that it’s outselling other active platforms by quite a margin in some regions of the world.

Sony will face a mass lawsuit in the United Kingdom that could cost them up to £5 billion ($7.9 billion). The lawsuit was filed on August 19, 2022 by Alex Neill, a renowned champion of consumer rights and co-founder of Consumer Voice, on behalf of the 8.9 million PlayStation consumers located in the UK.

The Xmas season approaches, but for some of us, Halloween never ends. I've just finished (well, reached a grisly end within) the demo for Chiyo, a first-person horror game from Nimbus Games, set in Edo era Japan, in which you are a plucky young mystic sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate's Magical Arcane Division to investigate and cleanse a spooky abandoned mansion on the coast.

A lawsuit against Sony Interactive Entertainment, which alleges that the company has imposed “excessive and unfair prices” on PlayStation Store customers, has been granted approval to go to trial in the UK.

A London tribunal has ruled that a lawsuit filed last year accusing Sony of breaching competition law over store prices will continue, Reuters reports.

A class action lawsuit accusing Sony of overcharging PlayStation Store customers by up to £5 billion ($6.27 billion) can proceed to trial, the UK’s specialist competition court has ruled.

Sony will be going to UK court over allegations of ripping off consumers with its PlayStation Store. 

Rockstar Games, makers of the incredibly popular Grand Theft Auto series, finally announced earlier this month that they would officially reveal GTA 6 in December. In a series of posts from Rockstar's X account, studio co-founder Sam Houser confirmed that the much-awaited trailer for GTA 6 would arrive in December. A new leak, however, has unearthed evidence about scrapped story DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5. First released in 2013, GTA 5 still features on best-selling charts every month a decade into its run, thanks to GTA Online's thriving success and massive player base. Despite demand from fans, the main game never received a story expansion, with Rockstar instead opting to provide regular updates to the money-spinning online mode. The leak also reveals a canned sequel to 2006's Bully, a cult favourite title from Rockstar that never received a follow-up.

Upon its reveal, the PlayStation Portal was met with widespread skepticism over its limited feature set and appeal, though it seems the handheld device has got off to a solid start where its sales are concerned. Just two days on from its November 15 launch, it looks like it has already sold out in the US and the UK.

“Why are we doing this now?” is an understandable question to have when hearing about the new Netflix anime Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, or even throughout most of its first episode. There are identical lines and visual jokes, and with the entire star-studded cast of the movie back in voice roles, it seems like the show is setting up to be a pretty faithful (but admittedly stylish) retread of Edgar Wright’s 2010 cult classic.

Turn 10 Studios have started down the path of regular updates and additions to Forza Motorsport, with update 2.0 out now, bring a new track, new career events and a bunch more cars that will be thrust into the spotlight.

Xbox has launched its digital Black Friday sale, offering discounts on more than 1,000 games on the Xbox Store.
