The number of PlayStation Plus subscribers has almost doubled within the last 18 months, Sony has revealed, climbing from 10.9m users in January 2015 to 20.8m. The new figure was revealed during a presentation held by Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Andrew House yesterday, where the platform holder said that it had seen a “continuous growth” in paid PlayStation Plus subscribers, and a 51% increase in network sales in FY2015 (April 2015-March 2016) compared to the previous year....

It seems those anticipating the PlayStation VR2 headset might not have all that long to wait. New tweets from all official regional PlayStation accounts have given the release window as “coming early 2023”. Just last month it was announced that PlayStation was teaming up with Tobii to handle the eye-tracking technology for the PS VR2. We also got further details on user experience features like a See-Through View that was explained as:...

Ditto - also known as the transform Pokémon - is one of the more elusive creatures in Pokémon Go, thanks to its ability to disguise itself as other creatures. In the main games, this purple blob knows one move - Transform - which allows it to copy the appearance and moveset of the opposing Pokémon, and it’s this ability which is recreated in Pokémon Go. The Ditto disguises in Pokémon Go change, too, so it’s a good idea to know which creatures its currently appearing as if you want to find one, especially if you wish to add a shiny Ditto to your collection....

New information has just been released regarding the upcoming collaboration between Pokemon TCG and Pokemon GO. The TCG expansion will be available this summer, on Jul. 1.

Sony has yet to officially reveal the PlayStation 5’s controller, what is presumed to be the DualShock 5. PS5 dev kit photos have shown that the controller may be slightly beefier than the DualShock 4, but will be generally the same controller design that Sony has used since the days of the PS1. However, the PS5 controller will apparently be introducing some rather major new features, if a recently discovered Sony patent is to be believed....

New rumors have leaked regarding the potential release date and price point of the PlayStation 5, but we still have nothing concrete. For the most part, advances in technology are fantastic. If you were around during the mid-’90s, try to cast your mind back to what kind of technology you had at your disposal at that time. TVs had small screens but weighed as much as a dying star, cellphones were few and far between, and if you wanted to listen to music on the go, you had better be prepared to carry a lot of CDs around with you....

PUBG Mobile is now the biggest mobile battle royale game on the planet with over $1 billion in total revenue. We tend to discount mobile gamers as not true gamers, but the fact is there are more mobile gamers in the world than console and PC players combined. Most of them are in Asia, where the concept of a living room with a TV or personal computer is relatively foreign, but phones are everywhere....

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for another bundle of free games from the Epic Games Store. This week, it’s QUBE 2 and Layers of Fear: Masterpiece Edition. QUBE 2 is an interesting Portal-esque puzzle game that follows 2012’s QUBE Although the series lacks the writing chops of Valve’s excellent puzzle series, it has clout when it comes to gameplay. QUBE 2 is longer than the original and comes with some graphical improvements to boot, so there’s no reason not to try it....

Since 2020, Razer has begun the tradition of holding annual events known as RazerCon to showcase its latest products along with special announcements. Razer held its keynote for RazerCon 2022 on Saturday, and with it came announcements for a number of new products for both gamers and content creators alike. Razer showcased plenty, including new headsets, a chair made in collaboration with Lamborghini, and a flashy new handheld gaming device. The only items left out – aside from color variations of already available products – are any new gaming mice or keyboards....

The Witcher School live-action role-play events in Poland, one of which I attended in 2016, have come to an end because of a contractual termination by CD Projekt Red over use of The Witcher name. The exact reasons why are potentially political but also unclear. 5 Żywiołów (5 Elements), the company behind the events, alleges that CD Projekt Red pulled the licence because of a staff member’s involvement with the ultra-conservative Polish Catholic organisation Ordo Iuris, which is anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, and rejects the idea of gender equality....

It’s the DLC package we’ve all been waiting for: the ‘Lair of the Shadow Broker’ DLC for Mass Effect 2 has been priced and dated. You can download the package on PC or Xbox 360 starting September 7 for 800 BioWare/Microsoft points. She may not be the same Liara that most of us came to adore in the original Mass Effect, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t help our proud crewmate complete her mission to capture the Shadow Broker....

Remnant: From the Ashes, a Dark Souls-like game from Darksiders 3 studio Gunfire Games, gives players a variety of ways that they can upgrade their character. One of the best ways that Remnant: From the Ashes players can give themselves an advantage in-game is by upgrading their weapons, but they’ll soon hit a roadblock when they need Forged Iron to upgrade their weapons past level 5. Some may be confused as to where they can get Forged Iron, but they shouldn’t stress about getting it until later on in the game....

Following the announcement of the Resident Evil 3 remake, Capcom made an unexpected addition to Resident Evil 2 that serves to link together events from each game. The addition comes in the form of an achievement titled “Chasing Jill” that tasks players with finding a letter written by Jill Valentine, the protagonist of the upcoming remake. All players need to do is “read a letter left behind by Jill.” Since there are already so many letters in the game that players can find, this achievement might have gone unnoticed if not for some vigilant players....

REZ PLZ is a pixel art puzzle platformer for solo or co-op play where players take control of two (apprentice) wizard brothers who will literally (and repeatedly) die for each other. Thankfully, they possess the power of resurrection. They have a bunch of other powers too, kind of. They’d be a lot better if they applied themselves a little more. But don’t take my word for it; there’s a new REZ PLZ gameplay trailer out that shows you some of the brothers’ abilities....

A new cinematic trailer for Rise of the Tomb Raider has been released by Microsoft, teasing a full gameplay reveal at E3 in a few weeks. Lara Croft actress Camilla Luddington provides the narration to the trailer which sees Lara climbing a mountain as she seeks out an entrance to a cave. Sadly there’s no gameplay, but this will come during the Xbox E3 Conference on June 15.

Lena Headey’s eight years in the role of the imperious, calculatingly cruel, shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool-fishing Cersei Lannister may seem to distance the actress from the concept of comedy, but that, indeed, is what the former Game of Thrones star has just procured, with a new TV pilot, with Showtime, called Rita. Back in June, Showtime announced its pilot order for Rita, an adaptation of the 2012-2017 Danish series of the same name, in which Lena Headey will star as its title character, who’s described as “a headstrong, unconventional teacher and single mother who takes on every kind of authority – as well as her family – in a messy and unfiltered way....

Overwatch 2 was revealed today during Blizzcon 2019. The game will have a more even blend of PvE and PvP modes. Many of your favorite heroes return, but they’re all sporting a brand-new look. And by new look, I mean some of them are wearing trendy new jackets. Neat. So, what does the reveal of Overwatch 2 mean for Overwatch players? Game boss Jeff Kaplan explained that the team wants to “redefine” what this sequel means....

A new update to Overwatch’s PTR server has introduced significant changes to a multitude of heroes from throughout the game’s roster. Most notably, key heroes in the longstanding “double shield” meta have been nerfed in response to some players’ complaints about the current barrier-dominant meta being unfun to play. Orisa and Sigma are the two tank heroes whose shields form the basis of “double shield,” and both are now nerfed on the PTR....

Last week, Square Enix revealed its current content roadmap for Final Fantasy XIV, which includes everything from graphical upgrades to an improved Trust System. Square Enix relayed this information through an incredibly jam-packed live stream that lasted around five hours long. Just today, the company hosted another lengthy live stream in which they covered the first significant patch that will come to Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. This new update, numbered 6....
