The Last of Us season 2 adds directors from Succession, Loki, and more

February’s Game Catalog lineup for PlayStation Plus brings together racing thrills, sci-fi adventure and a selection of entries from a classic RPG series. Take to the streets in Need for Speed Unbound, blast off into space in The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition, then experience some acclaimed RPG fantasy action in the Tales of… series. These and many more titles are playable from February 20. Let’s take a closer look at each game in turn. 

Season 9 of Overwatch 2 is finally here. As you'd expect, Blizzard has provided a rundown of all the new additions coming to the team-based shooter.

We heard recently that Starfield was getting ready to add support for FSR 3 for those who opt into beta testing, and it seems today is the day! A new Starfield Steam Beta update adds FSR 3, which will deliver smoother performance via frame generation, similar to the already-available DLSS 3. Players can also look forward to support for XeSS, some fixes for some vexing save file stability issues, and more.

If you were hoping Naughty Dog would spill the beans on The Last of Us 3 in its newest documentary, then we’ve got bad news. Hot on the heels of their The Last of Us 2 PS5 remaster, the studio has released a two-hour behind-the-scenes video that looks at how the gritty survival horror sequel was made.

Following Update 1.5.0 for THE FINALS and the limited-time addition of Solo Bank It!, Embark Studios has released Update 1.5.5. It adds new items to the store while also provide balance changes to several gadgets and weapons. The invulnerability period after reviving has also gone from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds. The same also applies to revives with the Defibrillators.

Rewards from new boss encounters, hero skins, and game-changing mods are all available in when you complete different challenges in the roguelike No Return mode. The survival missions your chosen character can attempt in a run could unlock additional features. It may take time to meet every goal, but each challenge offers an exciting opportunity.

Hot dawg! If you're doing things right, you've got a three-day weekend on your hands thanks to that extra public holiday. This means a figurative forecast of hours upon hours of gaming in your future and, highly likely, a literal forecast of heatwave conditions on your horizon. Clearly, our time will be best spent indoors, smashing out some of the hottest titles at the lowest prices. I've got plenty of that below...

Epic Games has released the patch notes for Lego Fortnite version 28.10, detailing build changes and new features. 

Rocksteady Studios has confirmed that The Joker will be playable in Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, launching in March. It promised new characters, challenges, environments and more, but we now have a roadmap that outlines what to expect.

 Old School RuneScape’s 2024 roadmap is here, following the recent Winter Summit. The team has a lot on the way, with Varlamore opening up in March, a revamped Defender of Varrock and While Guthix Sleeps,  updates on sailing, Wilderness, and more

is a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.
