PlayStation 5 shipped 4.9m units during Q2 2023

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

Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian Studios is a massive game and quite daunting for those who know nothing of Dungeons and Dragons. Thankfully, for those who want a taste of the gameplay before purchasing, a two-hour trial is available now for PS5.

Immortals of Aveum didn’t get nearly as much traction as developer Ascendant Studios had hoped it would – something that had pretty disastrous consequences for the studio in the form of significant layoffs – but it looks like the developer is looking to put the game on PlayStation and Xbox’s subscription services in an effort to attract a larger player base.

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.

Video games can be expensive. We probably don’t have to tell you that. It’s a costly hobby, and with the latest generation of console platforms, we saw a price hike for AAA games. Instead of paying the once-standard $59.99 for a brand new AAA release, we’re not digging further into our wallets to pay the now $69.99 fee for a new major release. So, this recent price hike makes it more challenging to determine what video games to pick up at launch and which to set back for when they drop. Fortunately, sales are going on at any given time, and today, we want to highlight a big one for the PlayStation Store.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen leads the pack of new titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium game catalog, this month. Starting November 21, all higher-tier PS Plus members can embark on an epic dark fantasy adventure as the Arisen, whose heart gets ripped out by a dragon early on, marking him as a warrior destined to face the mythical creature and unravel answers to a sinister conspiracy. The combat is heavily reminiscent of the Dark Souls games, albeit you've got a crew of AI companions who would assist you in tight situations. Play around with magic, ride atop griffins, slice off Hydra heads, and more when Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen comes to PS4.

Once upon a time we had PlayStation All-Stars, and now PlayStation is all stars once again. Well, the PlayStation Store is, anyway.

With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launching last month and becoming the fastest-selling first-party title for PlayStation, it’s interesting to see what Sony has planned for next year. Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin, an open-world action RPG set in the Bakumatsu era, is coming, but a release date hasn’t been announced.

Sony has revealed the full line-up of PlayStation Plus Games Catalog additions for November 2023, which includes Teardown, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, and PaRappa the Rapper 2.
