In fact, according to Steam Charts, Rocket League’s average player count is down to around 36,000 concurrent players, from nearly 150,000 players in September 2020. Perhaps in a bid to try and bring players back, as well as to draw new audiences in, Psyonix has confirmed that it is going to upgrade Rocket League’s in-game engine to Unreal Engine 5. When will Rocket League transition to Unreal Engine 5? Psyonix’s announcement that Rocket League is going to make the transition to Unreal Engine 5 wasn’t made on an official blog post....

According to Moth Culture, Remedy is going to announce its AAA Doctor Strange game alongside a teaser for this summer’s E3 conference. Although the user hasn’t exactly been the most trustworthy source of information in the past, what’s interesting here is that Moth Culture is not the only one to make similar claims. Over a year ago, Evan Filarca also claimed that Remedy’s been working on a AAA Doctor Strange game even before he leaked the info....

As spotted by an anonymous Reddit user, the Polish website XGP.pl added a badge implying that Resident Evil Village is “included in Game Pass.” Although the website quickly removed the badge after it went viral, fans believe that it was more of a premature update as opposed to a mistake. Not to mention, the same website leaked Mass Effect Legendary Edition’s release to the Game Pass almost a year ago, which was officially confirmed in January....

Rockstar Games already confirmed that it has pooled all of its resources towards making Grand Theft Auto 6 “the best that it can possibly be.” We’re not saying that the studio isn’t working on anything else, but what other games can you think of warrant the appearance of dozens of job listings by the company? If you don’t believe us, feel free to check Rockstar Games’ career page as well as Hitmarker, a career website specifically dedicated to jobs in the gaming industry....

During its original run on the PS2, Bully went on to win several accolades and sell 1.5 million units, which is not half bad, all things considered. Unfortunately, Rockstar hasn’t talked about a follow-up to Bully yet - until now. Is Rockstar going to announce Bully soon? With nearly two decades of no credible news about a sequel, Bully fans have been starved for a sequel for far longer than GTA fans....

Which Games Were Added to the PS Studios Steam Page? In our earlier report, we specified that the PS Studios Steam page only had 41 games listed. Of course, this includes all the DLCs for all 6 games at the moment. But, as it turns out, Sony has added 3 more games to the list. Now, the three “games” added to the PS Studios Steam page may be all just DLC for Days Gone....

It’s as if the floodgates opened as soon as Sony and Marvel Studios struck a deal to bring Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016. Now, there’s at least one Spider-Man project coming almost every year. In fact, had it not been for the Spider-Verse delay, audiences would have gone seven years straight of seeing the Web-Head swing his way to a video game console or into theaters....

This is one of the biggest takeaways from Sony’s latest gaming earnings report. Make no mistake, the focus is still on the slight hit that video game unit sales took in the last quarter. But, as TweakTown points out, it also served as the “death certification” for the PlayStation 4. According to TweakTown, all the Sony earnings reports from 2014 until the quarter before its latest one had a section specifically for PS4 console shipments....

Although the decision did pave the way for Tom Holland’s time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are still fans who wonder what could have been had Sony gone through with its initial plans. Following the successful premiere of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which saw all three versions of Spider-Man team up against a multiversal collection of classic Spider-Man villains, the calls for Garfield to reprise his former role grew louder....

According to a blog post on the official PlayStation Blog site, PlayStation Stars will launch in Japan and Asia on September 29 and Europe and Australia on October 13. Sony didn’t clarify just exactly when on those dates it will go online, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates. The upcoming loyalty program for PlayStation owners is effectively Sony’s way of giving trophy hunters tangible benefits. The free membership basically lets players earn points just by playing....

Four years later and Sony is releasing another limited edition hardware to help celebrate its sequel, God of War: Ragnarok. Although it’s not quite like a new console, the special DualSense controller is as good as a consolation can get. The blue-and-grey gamepad features a custom design highlighting the father-and-son relationship of Kratos and Atreus with a papa wolf and a wolf pup prominently found on the trackpad. It will serve as the first game-specific DualSense to come out since the PlayStation 5 hit store shelves in late 2020....

Of course, just because most are willing to risk watching No Way Home in theaters doesn’t mean that everyone wants to do it. For those that prefer to watch movies during this pandemic at home, we’ve got good news for you. No Way Home is getting a digital release and it’s happening much sooner than most would have expected. When is No Way Home getting a digital release? It’s worth noting that Sony nor Disney has confirmed No Way Home’s digital release date....

This sudden change to the company’s stance on fan made mods - which aren’t created for a profit - has sparked some outrage among the modding community, but also speculation due to the specific nature of mods targeted. It was also pointed out that Rockstar Games’ official statement regarding modding that was published in 2017 surrounding the OpenIV controversy was edited quietly - and the original statement has been scrubbed from almost everywhere, including the Wayback Machine....

Techland apologizes to fans for the Dying Light 2 delay After several teasers and updates, Techland finally confirmed back in May that it will release the Dying Light sequel, Dying Light 2 Stay Human, in December 2021. Naturally, this got fans excited, especially after a new trailer that was released at Gamescom 2021 showcased the game’s much-improved parkour mechanics. However, it appears that fans will just have to suffer for a little longer....

Dying Light 2: Stay Human came out last February 4 to mixed-to-positive reception, similar to the first game. Although Techland has promised to support the game for the next five years, Dying Light hasn’t been neglected. As per Techland, the most recent patch for Dying Light will allow the PS4 version of the game to make better use of the PS5’s hardware. Specifically, the patch adds three graphic options to choose from with Quality Mode (30FPS at 4K), Performance Mode (60FPS at 1080P), and Balance mode (60FPS at QHD)...

Now, there’s nothing wrong with these heroes. They have fairly basic skill kits and aren’t too complicated. But, if you’re a complete beginner, playing these Dota 2 heroes isn’t exactly as easy as they sound. You’ll find yourself making tons of mistakes, after all, and these heroes aren’t exactly as forgiving as more seasoned players believe they are. So, with that said, if these common recommendations aren’t the best Dota 2 heroes for beginners, then what is?...

But are weapons enough to make Fallout 76 that good? Hell yeah, besides the number of options the player has to choose from, it all comes down to what you can make with these weapons that make these a very cool and unique experience. So stay around if you’re all about the big guns, or if you can’t choose from a melee or automatic weapon. Plus, keep in mind we will also be talking through about all the perk cards used including all the cool alterations that can be applied to specific builds....

So, this means that the game doesn’t necessarily have to have hyper-realistic graphics. It doesn’t even have to be realistic at all. It just has to have a vehicle and a race. That’s it. But, even with such broad criteria, you’d be surprised that there aren’t as many good racing games out there as you’d like to think, especially if you remove Gran Turismo from the equation. The first-party PlayStation franchise is considered the gold-standard of racing games, and while it’s had plenty of competition in recent years, it’s the only one that’s managed to outlive with them all as the next mainline title is expected to release within the next year or two....

Years after Netflix completely flubbed the live-action adaptation of Death Note in 2017, the streaming giant just confirmed that it’s giving the hit psychological thriller series another go. This time around, Netflix has asked for the help of Stranger Things’ Duffer brothers. In a public statement, Matt and Ross’ production company, Upside Down Pictures, shared news about its upcoming projects for the streaming platform, including the aforementioned live-action series. In addition to Death Note, Upside Down Pictures is also working on the following:...

EA confirmed earlier this year that FIFA 23 will be the last game it will launch as part of the company’s 30-year-long partnership with FIFA. EA cited high licensing fees and low returns as the main reason why the FIFA series by EA will be known as EA Sports FC going forward. So, there’s no need to worry. The FIFA series will continue to live on under a different brand....
