Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Joins EA Play on April 25th

Free trials of Star Wars games have launched for Xbox and Nintendo Switch players.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is set to leave PlayStation Plus' Extra tier catalog within the month of May 2024. The remake of developer Big Huge Games' classic action RPG will soon depart from the PlayStation Plus library in addition to the 25 titles already scheduled to disappear from the service throughout the coming weeks.

Star Wars Day is right around the corner which means the frequency of deals and product reveals to celebrate May 4 is starting to ramp up. One of the most unique celebrations of the event will be at Heroes & Villains. Not just because the site is launching a range of exclusive new Star Wars t-shirts, but because it will be launching one of its four new designs per day between May 2 and May 5, and once that design's day is over, that t-shirt will be gone forever.

While there may already be plenty of LEGO sets for the universe, two video game-exclusive characters may finally get the due as a joint set. The galaxy far, far away has become known as one of LEGO's standout sets thanks to the brand's blocky aesthetic fitting neatly with the franchise's vehicles and landscapes. Yet while plenty of very obscure characters have been immortalized as LEGO pieces, two iconic heroes have yet to earn the same treatment but this may fortunately be about to change.

Fans finally have their first look at Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’sCal Kestis as a LEGO Star Wars minifigure. The first LEGO Star Wars building sets were released in 1999 to promote Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and for the past 25 years the Galaxy Far, Far Away has been one of LEGO’s most popular settings. About 928 LEGO Star Wars sets have been released as of April 2024, and there have been countless tie-in animated movies and Traveller’s Tales-developed LEGO Star Wars video games to go with them.

Lego has been rolling out Star Wars sets at a faster rate than usual so far in 2024 to celebrate 25 years of turning locations, characters, and vehicles from a galaxy far, far away into Minifigures and sets. New R2-D2 and Millennium Falcon sets are already available, and a TIE Interceptor set will be released later this week ahead of Star Wars Day. To further mark 25 years of working with Star Wars, Lego has put together a video featuring characters and elements from throughout the series, including some who haven't been turned into Lego yet.

A Sims 4 player online has created an impressive abandoned church in the game, with some seriously eerie vibes. The Sims 4 gives players the tools to create just about anything they can imagine, and it's great to see how gamers are continuing to innovate in the game.

A fan of The Sims 4 has unlocked a super rare achievement in the game, called Legacy Leader. It's an achievement that ties into the number of households and generations in the world, and even more experienced The Sims 4 players report not knowing of its existence.

An eagle-eyed gamer has noticed an unsettling detail about the ending of Mass Effect 3 that would be easily missed by most players. The Mass Effect trilogy is packed full of interesting details, but this is one that BioWare perhaps wishes most players wouldn't discover.

This has been a pretty busy week for new releases, with the likes of Another Crab’s Treasure, Stellar Blade, Sand Land, and more coming out. Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s video game subscription service, has also had quite a busy week. Three games in particular stand out as must-plays this weekend for those who want to delve a bit further into the service rather than spend money on a new game.

An Apex Legends player has found yet another Easter Egg featuring everyone’s favorite adorable plushie, Nessie. The mysterious monster could hint at new content coming in Season 21 of Apex Legends.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the action-adventure title from Respawn Entertainment, is heading to EA Play subscription service. The game is confirmed to be available on the service via Xbox and PC Game Pass starting April 25. Additionally, Jedi: Survivor has been spotted as being included with the EA Play subscription on PlayStation Store in some regions. The acclaimed Star Wars title is joining EA's subscription service almost exactly a year after its release across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
