Despite Dragon's Dogma 2 boasting marginally better launch sales than Rise of the Ronin (with both titles releasing on the same day), it's Team Ninja's PS5 exclusive that's managed to stand stronger in the latest Japanese charts. Indeed, Ronin has actually done quite well for itself, shifting an additional 20,000 retail copies over the last week, bringing its total to a fairly respectable 85,000 units. It was topped only by Princess Peach: Showtime!.
Train Sim World 4 Will Finally Make a Stop in Japan on PS5, PS4 | Push Square
20.03.2024 - 01:23 / pushsquare.com / Will
While we’re enormous fans of Train Sim World 4 and Dovetail’s entire railway simulation series, we’ve often criticised its overemphasis on British, American, and German routes. Fortunately, it looks like the release is poised to receive its first Japanese add-on, in the form of the Tadami Line, in-development at external studio Union Workshop.
Presumably, this will be an improved version of the same expansion already available for Train Simulator on PC, although we’ll need to wait for official confirmation on that front. Nevertheless, we know the Tadami Line runs between Koide in Niigata Prefecture and Aizu-Wakamatsu in Fukushima Prefecture, and is operated by the East Japan Railway Company, or JR East.
There are actually quite a lot of DLC packs in the pipeline for Train Sim World 4, including an addition to the London Overground and the Fife Circle Line in Scotland. But it’s this Japanese route which jumps out – it’ll be nice to play something a little different in a new country for once, won’t it?

Dont even need to read this to know Sammy will be a happy boy!
Finally! Shinkansen would be a nice addon too.
This game looks like my sort of thing, I sunk many an hour into Euro Truck Simulator. I bought this game for the PC a while back but haven't gotten around to it yet. Games like these require a bit of time investment which I don't have to spare right now unfortunately.

Run a Cosy Convenience Store in Slice of Life Sim InKonbini, Coming to PS5 | Push Square
Working in a retail store seems like an under-explored setting for games, considering so many people do it. While we've seen horror titles explore the terrors of staffing night shifts, this upcoming game, InKonbini, looks like an earnest effort to capture the bright side of tending to a shop.

UK Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin Off to a Weak Start at Retail | Push Square
It sounds like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin — both released on Friday of last week — have struggled to make an immediate impact in the UK. While we don't have the full sales charts just yet, GamesIndustry.biz's ever-knowledgeable Christopher Dring has outlined the relative success of the new releases, and it's fair to say that neither game has done well. At least, not at retail.

Grandia HD Collection Review (PS5 / PS4) | Push Square
Grandia HD Collection bundles together two classic JRPG adventures from the tail-end of the genre's golden age, a series that has long since fallen by the wayside. Grandia, initially released on the SEGA Saturn, would make its way to PS1 in 1999, and its narratively unconnected but mechanically superior sequel, Grandia II, first came to Dreamcast before arriving on PS2 in 2002.

PS5, PS4's Gran Turismo 7 Continues to Get Better and Better | Push Square
Sony doesn’t consider Gran Turismo 7 to be a live service game, but developer Polyphony Digital treats it like it is one. The game goes from strength-to-strength with each new update, and while v1.44 is on the smaller side by the series’ standards, it adds more complimentary content to an already stacked simulation racer.

Japan Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin Can't Beat Princess Peach | Push Square
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.
