A reliable gaming insider has claimed that PlayStation plans to release a new Astro Bot game this year alongside several other "smaller" first-party titles.

Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has shared what the studio has planned in terms of post-launch support for its soon-to-be-released PS5 exclusive. In a recent interview with bbs.ruliweb.com, it revealed the title will receive free updates that bundle in new costumes for protagonist Eve to wear alongside a New Game+ option. It's also stated «DLC has not been determined» separately to the free content drops, which could suggest there'll be a larger Stellar Blade expansion in the future also.

Team Ninja has (rather stealthily) released two updates for Rise of the Ronin. The first of these patches (1.02) arrived on the 29th March, while the second (1.03) has only just dropped. However, if you were expecting the developer to address the title's disappointingly flexible frame rate, then you're out of luck.

Reports from some familiar faces suggest that Sony still has some «smaller» PS5 exclusives set for the tail end of 2024. Insiders and various industry types agree that they'll likely be seen at next month's rumoured PlayStation event. The consensus seems to be that the long-awaited Silent Hill 2 remake will be one, and the rumoured standalone Astro Bot game will be another.

Stellar Blade is launching exclusively on PS5 at the end of the month, on 26th of April, and anticipation is high amongst enthusiasts for the appealing action RPG. We love what we've played so far. Still, not an insignificant amount of attention is directed at the game due to its more aesthetic attributes and the many eye-catching outfits on offer for protagonist Eve.

Who doesn't love free PC games? Well, there's plenty available right now for you to permanently add to your libraries.

Last year’s revival of Sega’s late-Dreamcast-era obscurity Cosmic Smash is coming to a much wider audience in 2024.

In Eternal Strands, a major part of your adventure will be doing battle with the nine massive bosses that wander freely throughout parts of the world. In my time exploring the magical land of The Enclave, I encountered a handful of these formidable monstrosities, which ranged from a robotic bipedal summoner who used his magical staff to cover the world in fire to a flying dragon who persistently hunted me from the skies above. Continuing our month-long coverage of Eternal Strands as part of IGN First, today we’ll be taking a look at one such oversized baddie: The Ark of the Forge, a hammer-wielding automaton with deep love of smelting puny Weavers into piles of ash.

Iron Man has been a Marvel superhero for more than 60 years. However, when someone floated the idea of a standalone Marvel movie, many wondered whether it was the right call. Turns out it was as not only was that movie a huge success, but it began the MCU as we know it. Iron Man may well be the most famous Marvel hero after Spider-Man thanks to Robery Downey Jr's portrayal of Tony Stark, and the character has been turned into various Funko Pops since Iron Man's big screen success.

Rockstar introduced its own subscription service in 2022, GTA Plus. Designed for dedicated players of GTA Online, GTA Plus gets subscribers monthly in-game rewards and exclusives. Rockstar also added a few older GTA games, including the remastered trilogy, which subscribers can play for no additional cost. Despite its name, that library was expanded beyond GTA alone last week as Rockstar added Red Dead Redemption. It won't be stopping there either and has now announced plans to add even more big names from its back catalog.

The A18 Pro will likely serve as the successor to the A17 Pro and is expected to exclusively power the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which are said to launch later this year. Though we have reported that the SoC will sport a 6-core GPU, which may not translate into graphical performance improvements, we never got around to the CPU cluster, as that information was not available then, and we made our own assumptions. However, one tipster claims that the core configuration will remain unchanged compared to Apple’s previous A-series chipsets, potentially meaning that we may not witness a noteworthy difference between the two silicon generations.

Introducing the Season 3 Battle Pass!

The only difference here is that the upcoming lineup is said to be fueled by both the Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 variants.

A new Doctor Who trailer has been released – and it looks like we are all collectively in for quite the ride when the show returns in May.

Minds won’t be made up on where Stellar Blade lands in the video game zeitgeist for a few more weeks, at least, but early chatter is teasing the release as an early Game of the Year contender.

It's the first day of April — the birds are tweeting, the bees are buzzing, and we just got an incredible leak from one of our favorite streamers, Barricade!

Rumors are running rampant about a supposed PlayStation 5 Pro, or PS5 Pro for short. Just like we got a mid-generation upgrade with the PS4 Pro last console cycle, many are expecting PlayStation to release an incrementally more powerful machine the bridge the gap between the launch unit and an eventual PlayStation 6. Leaks have been coming out from some fairly credible sources with a lot of juicy and very specific details about what a hypothetical PS5 Pro could look like. As credible as these sources may be, we do still need to take everything we see with a grain of salt until Sony officially confirms this system even exists. Until then, here are all the rumors out there we could pull together regarding the PS5 Pro.

Apple employees are in for a treat as Apple introduces significant discounts on two Apple Watch bands. The latest report reveals that the Link Bracelet, originally priced at $349, is now available to employees for just $209. Similarly, the Milanese Loop, which previously retailed for $99, now comes with a price tag of $59.

Xbox will apparently release the “majority” of its tentpole first-party titles on PS5 in the future, as its multiformat strategy gathers pace. Earlier in the year, the Redmond firm broadcast a strategic business meeting, where it announced four console exclusive titles – including Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves – would launch on Sony’s format. While it stopped short of confirming other rumoured releases, it insinuated this was simply the start of a new philosophy for the firm.

If you were raised on a diet of Japan Studio oddities and quirky PlayStation published exclusives, then Stellar Blade is the game you’ve been praying for. Developed by Korean studio Shift Up – the infamous outfit behind the wildly popular smartphone shooter NIKKE: Goddess of Victory – this single player PS5 console exclusive feels like it’s stepped straight out of the PS3 era, and we mean that in the most positive possible way.

There have been two big stories on the ground at GDC this year: Xbox’s flatlining brand and the purpose of the PS5 Pro. Speaking as part of a podcast, GamesIndustry.biz’s well-connected reporter Christopher Dring noted that he didn’t meet a “single person” at the show that understood the point of Sony’s mid-gen upgrade, which is rumoured to release later this year.

Today marks the end of Jim Ryan's 30-year tenure at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Having climbed the ladder of the company all the way to the top, his five-year stint as CEO has now drawn to a close, with Hiroki Totoki temporarily taking over until a permanent replacement is found. Speaking on the latest Official PlayStation Podcast, Ryan has one last interview, in which he comments on the platform's evolution, his career, and his thoughts on the PS3 boomerang controller. It's worth a listen.

There’s an argument that the novelty of Sony’s delayed single player PC ports has worn off, but Horizon Forbidden West is bucking that trend. The open world sequel, converted by Nixxes, has opened to a respectable peak of 35,168 concurrent users on Steam, making it the sixth biggest PS Studios launch on the platform to date – just a hair behind The Last of Us: Part 1. There’s a good chance it’ll overtake the Naughty Dog remake later in the weekend.

IStellar Blade is a hotly anticipated PS5 exclusive launching in late April, and it already seems set for success, possessing some indefinable quality that makes us think it will sell like gangbusters. Developer Shift Up must be getting plenty of positive feedback because CEO Hyung-Tae Kim is already teasing sequels in a light-hearted way.

Rise of the Ronin has been out for just over a week now, and so we want to know what you think of Team Ninja's open world action RPG. Published by Sony itself, this PS5 exclusive was met with somewhat divided reviews, and so currently sits at a 76 on Metacritic. User impressions have been more lenient overall, but it's still hard to shake the feeling that Rise of the Ronin has struggled to make any kind of significant impact.

Three relatively big games all released on the same day last week: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and Princess Peach: Showtime!. But as we all know, Japan absolutely adores its Nintendo Switch exclusives — and so perhaps it's no huge surprise to see the latter title top the latest charts.

Helldivers 2 players are arguing over what objectives to focus on, and getting upset with each other for going after the "wrong" planets.

For most people, Helldivers 2 doesn't immediately come to mind when you think of PlayStation, but Arrowhead CEO and the game's director, Johan Pilestedt, hopes to change that.

 In the realm of Indian gaming, Garena Free Fire Max stands out as a refined version of the beloved Free Fire battle royale game.

While Datamining Phase 3 Season of Discovery, we've come across two items that are Druid specific. Two popular items that are exclusively used by Feral Druids in World of Warcraft Classic is Wolfshead Helm and Manual Crowd Pummeler.

Apple’s iPhone SE 4 OLED orders were previously said to be fought over by suppliers Samsung and BOE. Given that this is the company’s low-cost offering slated to launch sometime in 2025, procuring cheaper displays would be Apple’s top priority since this component is largely dependent on how expensive a smartphone gets. On this occasion, a new report claims that BOE has apparently won the skirmish against Samsung on the pricing front and will likely be the exclusive panel supplier for the iPhone SE 4.

It's a pretty strange time for Xbox owners, with some concerned about the future of the hardware now that the company has committed to launching its flagship exclusives on rival systems. Grounded, Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment have all launched on both PlayStation and Nintendo Switch systems, with rumors of bigger titles like Starfield and Halo following them refusing to go away.

In recent months, there’s been a lot of debate and concern about the future of the Xbox brand, with Microsoft seemingly tip-toeing away from exclusives and the traditional console business. In a recent “business update,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer and other execs sought to calm fears, saying major exclusives like Starfield are staying put (for now) and Microsoft is working on powerful new hardware, but fans have been skeptical in the face of “flatlining” demand for Xbox consoles.

While may still only be available for PlayStation 5 at the time of writing, according to producer Naoki Yoshida the game could land up on other consoles after it launches on PC. Square Enix's exclusivity deal with Sony has long frustrated fans who may have elected to settle down with Xbox hardware but based on current developments, Microsoft's console may soon be home to some of the most recent entries in the franchise. The word's still on the Remake Trilogy, but the story could be very different for the sixteenth game.

“The math on [making] a game has definitely changed,” said Phil Spencer, CEO of Gaming at Microsoft.

In the Season of Discovery Phase 3 Preview Video, Blizzard has given us more details about the updated Blood Moon event and the upcoming changes to PvP gearing.

While Microsoft has tried to put a happy face on things, the future of Xbox – at least Xbox as a distinct brand with its own hardware and exclusives – has never been more in question. Last month Microsoft tried to calm worries with an Xbox Business Update, in which they revealed several older, smaller-scale games were going multiplatform, but that others, like Starfield, aren’t for now. Furthermore, they vowed to continue working on new hardware which will, apparently, deliver the “largest technical leap ever” (how they plan to deliver on that boast, I don’t know).

Producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida has hinted that Final Fantasy XVI could be coming to other platforms after the PC version is released. The game was first released for PlayStation 5 back in June 2023 and is coming to PC at some point in the future.

Shift Up and Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed that a free demo for its upcoming sci-fi action game Stellar Blade will launch this Friday, March 29.

Phantom Gamelabs, a game studio funded by Supercell, just rolled out a new looter shooter title, Riftbusters. But it isn’t a full-fledged launch; it’s a limited open beta exclusively for Android users in select regions.
