Ahead of its release some time this year, Sucker Punch Productions have shared a number of new details surrounding the upcoming Ghost of Yotei.

For a little over a year now, Xbox has been bringing an increasing number of its previously-exclusive titles to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation. With even more titles said to be on the way, notable leakers have now offered updates on the likes of Starfield, Halo and more coming to PS5.

While Naughty Dog are currently focused on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, it seems as though the studio has a second project also in development.

Following an explosive and highly popular first series, HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 is almost upon us. Set to premiere on the 13th of April, the sequel season based on Naughty Dog’s controversial Part II is likely to spark up even more discourse than the first. Unlike 2020’s masterpiece however, HBO’s adaptation has made one key decision which – if handled well – could not only serve to build upon the theming of the game itself, but also function as a different way to tell the same message. That being the casting of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers are set to get more ‘value’ thanks to a new initiative giving benefits for free-to-play games:

Gran Turismo 7 has gotten another update, bringing three new cars; additional scapes; events and enhancements to Sony’s SophyAI driver.

Over the past couple years, we’ve seen Microsoft bring over a select number of first-party Xbox titles to both PlayStation and the Nintendo Switch. Despite Indiana Jones and the Great Circle; DOOM The Dark Ages and Forza Horizon 5 all slated for a PS5 launch this year, one insider has claimed that there are “a lot more” titles planned to be ported in 2025 alone.

Despite being an already solid upgrade, the PS5 Pro version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will get further enhancements in a future update.

God of War’s 20th anniversary has officially come and gone, and while we did get a couple cool new things in celebration, the rumoured remaster for the OG trilogy was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, it does appear a God of War game is in fact slated for launch in 2025 – though it’s said to be a Greece-based spin-off.

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.

Following some successes and notable failures, Xbox head Phil Spencer claims to have “learned” from past mistakes when it comes to video game adaptations.

March’s PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium line-ups have been announced, including Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and the classic Armored Core trilogy.

Avowed marks the biggest first-party Xbox game for 2025 so far, with the Obsidian Entertainment-developed RPG arriving on Microsoft’s console (and PC) just under a month ago. Being Microsoft, the company rarely shares sales figures for its games. That being said, according to the game’s director, the higher-ups at Xbox are “happy” with Avowed’s player numbers.

Back in January after years of leaks, rumours and speculation, the Switch 2 was officially unveiled. That said, we still know relatively little about Nintendo’s upcoming sequel system.

Ahead of the PC launch for The Last of Us Part II, Sony has announced a limited edition TLOU DualSense controller; available next month.
