We had a great time with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor when it arrived earlier this year, but let's be honest, the technical performance wasn't great. The game's performance mode, which targeted 60 frames-per-second at a reduced resolution, was inconsistent, and it even struggled to keep it locked to 30 if you used the quality mode. Today, Respawn Entertainment has just released a new patch that aims to smooth out a lot of these issues.

First confirmed during this year's PlayStation Showcase, developer Hadoque has shared a fresh look at the psychedelic PS5, PS4 indie game Ultros.

NBA 2K24’s single player MyCAREER mode has gotten increasingly complicated over the years, so we suspected it was only a matter of time before 2K Sports dialled it back a bit.

RuneScape has launched its brand new Hero Pass battle pass system and a newly-transformed season with over 100 possible rewards to claim. The first season, Hero Pass: Underworld, is tied to the recent launch of Necromancy, and is live now.

In a new devblog detailing how the team decided to add a pass system, and how they made it feel right for RuneScape.

Delta Force is a series of military FPS shooters which began all the way back in 1998 and came to PlayStation with PS1's Urban Warfare (the fifth game in the franchise). Creator NovaLogic shuttered back in 2016, and its assets were acquired by THQ Nordic, which in turn, was swallowed by a bigger fish, the Embracer Group. Now, a pre-Gamescom teaser has revealed the series will live again and is set to be fully revealed at Gamescom's Opening Night Live.

Another day, another impressive PS5 achievement. Today it’s the turn of European tracker GSD, which has reported a 244 per cent increase in sales year-over-year on Sony’s system this July, following various price promotions right across the world. It should be noted that this hardware data only covers select countries like France, Italy, and Portugal, with major markets like the UK and Germany excluded.

Looking like the child born of a lucrative union between Fall Guys and Fortnite, the imaginatively named Stumble Guys has been announced for PS5 and PS4. Stumble Guys is a free-to-play Battle Royale that smashes together an impressive number of genres in a fairly consistent fashion, and it does look like a good bit of fun.

The most important part of the year for every NBA 2K24 player is release day, when everyone locks in their MyPLAYER build ahead of the season. But as has been the case a few years running now, developer Visual Concepts is completely transforming the way builds work – at least on PS5, anyway. If you want to get into the nitty-gritty – and we must warn you, it gets complicated – then we’d recommend you read through the Courtside Report.
