Nightdive Studios’ remake of System Shock finally launched for PC earlier this year, but of course, console players are still waiting to get their hands on the game. The developer has previously said that the game will arrive for PlayStation and Xbox platforms “in due course”, with no specific launch window having been mentioned, though it seems a more concrete update might be around the corner.
The ESRB has rated System Shock for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and Xbox One. Certification ratings generally tend to come close to release, so it’s possible that Nightdive Studios could be gearing up to make an official announcement regarding when System Shock will release for consoles (which might not be too far away either).
Back in June, Nightdive Studios offered a brief update on the remake’s console release, saying the game was “running smoothly” on PlayStation and Xbox, but still needed “a few rounds of QA support.”
In our review of the remake, we awarded it a score of 8/10, saying, “The System Shock remake is the best way to experience the original System Shock in all of its glory. While this is a largely faithful remake, the changes it introduces, like the modernized interface and controls, are a welcome change and make System Shock an absolute joy to play.” Read the full review through here.

Sometimes, gamers must ask out loud, “Who asked for this?” Usually, those moments come when a video game arrives that quite simply doesn’t live up to the hype or the long development time it took to get made. When Gotham Knights was released last year after a long wait, many gamers indeed wondered who asked for a title like that. While the concept was good, the execution was lacking, leading to many woes, including optimization across all platforms. Now, a new rating again implies that the Nintendo Switch will get a version of the title.
With the United States’ FTC having failed to make a strong enough case to block Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) remains among the last major stumbling blocks that the deal needs to clear, and all parties involved have now taken another significant step towards resolution.
California, the biggest state in the US when it comes to both population and the sheer volume of tech companies squeezed into its borders, has just passed the country's most extreme right to repair bill in the US (via Ars Technica). It's the third state to pass such a bill, but goes further than either Minnesota or New York in that it forces companies to support their products for longer. But while it will cover gaming PCs and laptops, games console manufacturers get a free pass.
