A new update for Gran Turismo 7 lands early tomorrow, bringing three new cars previously teased as well as the surprise introduction of a track that’s entirely new to Polyphony Digital’s series. Watkins Glen International is a staple of the US racing scene, playing host to F1 until it was deemed unsafe after a series of fatal accidents. It’s a ramshackle kind of place that now plays host to the likes of IMSA and NASCAR, and it’s an absolute delight to drive either of the configurations that are on offer in Gran Turismo 7’s take on the track. There’s a…
There was something special about SNK in the 90s, a swagger and style in the Osaka-based outfit’s output that lent its games a unique sense of cool.

Bungie and a number of PlayStation studios, including Insoniac and Sucker Punch, have spoken out in support of reproductive rights following today’s decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn key legislation granting individuals the constitutional right to choose an abortion – a move that gives US states the power to either severely restrict or ban the practice. Bungie was one of the first studios to make a statement in May after the US Supreme Court’s plans to overthrow Roe v Wade were leaked to the press, calling the move a “direct attack on human rights”. Adding to that sentiment…

Ubisoft has seen a fair amount of bad press and overall poor performance of late, a result of which has seen its chief executive taking a voluntary pay cut. A recent company filing revealed Yves Guillemot chose to forgo about a third of his annual compensation (via Axios), equating to a pay cut of €310k (approximately £266k / $327k). An Ubisoft spokesperson told Axios this was a “personal decision by Yves Guillemot, which he took considering that the company had not reached the financial targets that it had publicly communicated to the markets”.

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast – also available in audio form! – we look in detail at today’s final rollout of PlayStation Plus Premium, which is now available in the UK and mainland Europe. We now know all of the games included in the PlayStation Plus Premium catalogue at launch and it’s enough to hit Sony’s promises, certainly, though there are still odd omissions. The lack of 60Hz for some PS1 games (for now) also points to a rather rushed release, despite the extra weeks we’ve waited on these shores. So, what can Sony do to build on this…
