Tonight’s PlayStation State of Play was focused solely on Final Fantasy 16, offering a comprehensive rundown of what to expect from the next game in the series. For those who have followed previous reports and the recent PAX East presentation, this State of Play didn’t offer any new details beyond putting the world, characters and Eikon battles into context. But the presentation was aimed instead at PlayStation owners and newcomers to the series. After all, this is Sony’s big PlayStation exclusive for the near future, arriving on 22nd June worldwide. Check out the presentation below. Read more Source – eurogamer.net…
Epic has revealed the next batch of weekly freebies heading to the Epic Games Store, with developer E-Line Media’s BAFTA-winning Never Alone and its acclaimed oceanic follow-up Beyond Blue both set to go free next Thursday, 20th April.

While an enjoyable adventure in its own right, Never Alone…
Following reports last month that Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice would be delayed again, Warner Bros. has made it official – and then some – pushing the Batman Arkham Knight follow-up’s release all the way back to 2nd February 2024. This does, of course, mark the second substantial delay for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice, which was initially expected to arrive in 2022 before Warner Bros. made the decision to shift its launch to 26th May this year in order to “make the best game we can”. Rumours Warner Bros. was having another change of heart first emerged at…
Yesterday Sony announced the next games joining its PlayStation Plus subscription in May, including a number of Bethesda-published games. The PlayStation Blog also noted Marvel’s Spider-Man, Resident Evil, and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 “will be among some of the titles leaving the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue in May” as part of its “normal content refresh”. It doesn’t list any further games, but checking the Last Chance To Play section of the PSN Store reveals there are in fact over 30 games leaving the subscription on 15th May.

Microsoft president Brad Smith has claimed Russian intelligence agencies and private military company The Wagner Group were trying to “penetrate gaming communities”. During a chat at Semafor’s World Economy Summit, the discussion turned to leaked Pentagon documents that appear to stem from a gaming chatroom and contain sensitive information about the Ukraine war. This allegedly includes details about the deployment of British special forces, among others. In responce to these comments, Smith stated Microsoft’s threat analysis team had “been identifying efforts by the Russians” to weave their way into gaming communities, with the intention to spread information from there. Smith…
Sony appears to have stopped sending out email receipts for downloads of PlayStation Plus games. Email receipts are sent whenever games are downloaded from the PSN store, but this includes ‘free’ games downloaded as part of the PS Plus subscription. This is something Sony has been doing since the PlayStation 3 days and likely caused many players confusion when downloading multiple games at once and receiving individual email receipts for each – despite them being for £0.00.

Microsoft’s latest monthly Xbox update is readying to roll out to consoles, this one introducing a refreshed Xbox search “experience” alongside a new adjustable active hours power setting, letting users decide when their machine can fully shut down. Once the new update is installed, Xbox users can head to their console’s Settings > General > Power options in order to determine what Microsoft calls their “active hours” – essentially, the times they’re most likely to be using their machines. During active hours (which are “always active” by default, until changed), Xbox can be instructed to power down using the Sleep…
Amnesia: The Bunker, SOMA developer Frictional Games “unscripted” WW1 horror, has been delayed again, albeit only by a week. It’s now due to release for PC on 23rd May, giving the studio a little extra time to “make sure everything is perfect before launch”. The Bunker, as you might already know, is the fourth game in Frictional’s Amnesia series, following on from 2010’s acclaimed The Dark Descent, its Chinese-Room-developed successor A Machine for Pigs, and 2021’s Rebirth. It’s also a bit of a departure for the series, trading traditionally linear tales of horror for “unscripted” scares in a nightmarish semi-open-world.…
