    New Playstation Plus games are on the way! – October

    Here are the new games coming to the Playstation Plus essential games list this month.

    Race for podium glory in F1 25, take on monsters and other players in Hunt: Showdown 1896, then battle voxel versions of EDF enemies in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. Together, these three games form the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October. All be available to PlayStation Plus members* from Tuesday October 6 until Monday November 2.

    Let’s take a closer look at each of the games.

    F1 25 | PS5 

    Leave your mark on the world of racing in F1 25, the official video game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. Enjoy single player experiences such as Career and My Team 2.0, letting you create your own F1 stories as you take control as the Owner of a Formula 1 team. Then take the race online against other players, including a brand new multiplayer mode in F1 World, where you and your friends race as a squad against AI drivers.

    Hunt: Showdown 1896 | PS5 

    Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a new era of the addictively unforgiving extraction shooter. In corrupted backwaters lost to history, fight back alone – or with friends – against timeless evil. Twisted monsters and other ruthless Hunters stand between you and your Bounty. Risk everything as Hunt consumes you. Race competing Hunters to track down bosses, send them to hell, claim their bounty, and fight your way to extract. If others only slow you down, go alone. If you find strength in numbers, take up to two teammates along.

    Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 | PS5, PS4

    The square Earth is under attack by giant enemies. Teammates scattered around the world are waiting to be rescued. Select 4 teammates from among those you have collected and create your own team. Design the team perfect for your play style, select your equipment, and then deploy to battle. In addition to soldiers from the mainline EDF series, this game also includes soldiers from the EDF spin-offs, and enemies who ravaged the planet in previous releases have also crossed over into this world to join the fight. Enjoy fighting numerous enemies, including redesigned voxel versions of old favorites, as well as new enemies unique to this release. Enjoy four player online co-op and two player local split screen on PS5 and PS4.

  • More Shake-Ups in the Gaming World

    More Shake-Ups in the Gaming World

    Sadly there’s more shake ups going on in the gaming dev world with Microsoft continuing their reset. Looks like we’ll have more consolidation within the Xbox brand. Sadly looks like there’s going to be even more cuts in the industry. The statement Matt Booty released is below.

    This message was just sent to Team XBOX employees globally.

    Team,

    I’m writing to share several updates as part of the XBOX reset outlined earlier this year.

    First, we are eliminating 268 roles across Halo Studios, other first-party studios, and the XGS management and central functions layer. The actions completed since July, inclusive of the studio divestitures, bring us roughly three-quarters of the way through previously announced restructuring. I am deeply grateful for what our colleagues have built, and I know how difficult today will be for those leaving and the teams around them.

    Second, we are reorganizing our studios. The goal is to strengthen our franchises and games by operating fewer business units, aligning groups that already work closely together, and focusing our publishing expertise.

    • Activision will expand its remit to World’s Edge, as well as Rare. Activision will also be developing the next Halo title, led by a new, purpose-built team that is separate from ongoing development and plans for Call of Duty. A small team at Halo Studios will continue supporting the Halo community and games in-market.
    • Bethesda will expand its remit to include Obsidian, which will continue its current projects, including Grounded, as well as the new Fallout project made in collaboration with Bethesda Game Studios.
    • King will expand its remit to include Microsoft Casual Games, uniting our two global leaders in casual game design and live operations.
    • Playground and Turn 10 will come together as one studio focused on the Forza and Fable franchises. These two studios have been creative and franchise partners for over a decade, and today’s changes will formally move their work into one team.

    Third, an update on our studio divestitures: In August, Compulsion and Double Fine returned to management with their IP, back catalogs, and runway funding. Undead Labs has now successfully transitioned on similar terms and, with a new publisher, will release State of Decay 3 day one on Game Pass. Unfortunately, two separate agreements for Ninja Theory fell through. We will now begin consultation with employees on a proposed closure while continuing to explore other paths forward. Consultation with Arkane remains underway and is expected to continue through the end of the year.

    Today, our focus should be on supporting those affected and treating one another with care and respect. I will spend time with our studios over the next week. At our October 6 town hall, we will come together as an ALL-XBOX team to reflect on our progress and look ahead to one of the strongest game lineups in our history.

    Matt

  • FACE THE LEGENDARY WEAPONS IN FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION — NEW TRAILER UNVEILED AT GAMESCOM OPENING NIGHT LIVE

    FACE THE LEGENDARY WEAPONS IN FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION — NEW TRAILER UNVEILED AT GAMESCOM OPENING NIGHT LIVE

    New Gameplay Footage Shows Reimagined Superbosses from FINAL FANTASY VII, Plus the Summon Typhon and Open-World Traversal

    You know we had to share this, the one game series that I can not wait to see how they conclude. We’re also getting some looks at even more of the exploration.

    LONDON (Aug. 25, 2026) – During gamescom Opening Night Live, the annual presentation that kicks off gamescom, SQUARE ENIX debuted a new trailer for FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, the third and final entry in the epic, critically acclaimed FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series. FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION will release in Spring 2027 for PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC via Steam®, Epic Games Store and XBOX on PC.

    FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION is available for wishlisting on all platforms.

    Watch the new gameplay trailer


    In the trailer, enormous guardians called Weapons emerge to defend a world in crisis. Making no distinction between friend and foe, the Weapons wreak catastrophic destruction upon the planet and its people. Upon desert sands, in mid-air dogfights and at the bottom of the sea, Cloud and his fellow heroes must stand against the colossal Weapons even as they toil to save the world from Sephiroth. A late-game element of the original FINAL FANTASY VII, the Weapons return in reimagined glory as standout battles in FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, some of which appear in ultra-challenging endgame battles as an homage to their original forms.


    The gamescom trailer also showcased the powerful new Summon Typhon and open-world exploration via parachute, grappling hook and Chocobo mounts, plus Cloud and Tifa in their Warrior and Black Mage FITS. New to FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, the FITS system introduces unique outfits that bestow new abilities and greater heights of power, with specialized roles evoking classic FINAL FANTASY jobs.


    In FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, Cloud Strife and his loyal companions face a world that teeters on the brink of annihilation. Grieving a beloved ally, and with their nemesis Sephiroth nearing godhood, the party takes to the skies aboard the airship Highwind in a race against time to stop Meteor, the ultimate destructive magic, and the total obliteration of the planet. The final battle has begun. Everything leads here. FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION delivers the unforgettable, breathtaking finale to one of the most ambitious projects in video game history and the culmination of 30 years of FINAL FANTASY VII storytelling.

    In the game, the entire planet is freely explorable via the Highwind airship. Players can drop in via parachute anywhere, seamlessly transitioning from air to land. With Meteor descending and the Weapons unleashing terror, the planet’s conflicts are many, and the party will need to divide and conquer. Choose where to go, who to help and in what order as the planet itself fights for survival. Make one last stand alongside a beloved cast of legendary heroes, making decisions along the journey that can impact aspects of their stories. Customize combat by switching between real-time action and Tactical Mode in the series’ acclaimed hybrid battle system, now expanded and perfected with new playable characters and powerful new abilities.

    Newcomers and fans alike can catch up on the series before FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION arrives by playing the first two entries, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE and FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, out now across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC. Players can take advantage of the Streamlined Progression feature in both titles, with options such as unlimited HP and MP, always-full ATB gauge and easier weapon ability acquisition to streamline and custom tailor the play experience. Both FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE and FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH have garnered massive critical acclaim, including several The Game Awards nominations and awards, over 140 perfect review scores and numerous Game of the Year accolades.


    Players with save data from FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE and/or FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH on their console or PC will also unlock special bonuses in FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION:

    • FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE:
      • Summon Materia: Chocobo & Moogle
    • FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH:
      • Summon Materia: Phoenix

    FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION will be available for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and XBOX on PC in Spring 2027. Players can wishlist the game across all platforms now. This title is not yet rated. For more information, visit: https://www.square-enix.com/ffvii/en-us/games/revelation/

Spending time with friends is the best part of a big walk.

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – July 13, 2026 – Saber Interactive, the global video game studio behind acclaimed, best-selling titles such as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, SnowRunner, and World War Z, is thrilled to announce the addition of Steve Allison as its new Chief Business Officer. Allison joins Saber with over 30 years of executive experience in the games industry. He has led companies as diverse as Accolade, Atari, Midway and Telltale. He has most recently served as Vice President at Epic Games, where he led the formation and launch of the Epic Games Store and Epic’s third-party publishing. Allison built the store to hundreds of millions of users and thousands of games – an “epic” accomplishment by any standard. Allison will join Saber as a leading member of the executive team, managing publishing, marketing and other revenue opportunities. He will report directly to the CEO.

    “Steve Allison has done more to shape and modernize the game industry than anyone else I know,” said Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive. “He has created major companies, developed new platforms and spearheaded bestselling IP. He is not only one of the most knowledgeable and experienced individuals in games, but he is also incredibly handsome – a trait we were sorely lacking after leaving Aspyr with Embracer. We are lucky to have him help lead Saber into the next phase of our journey, even if I need to avoid joint photo ops.”

    “I have been extremely impressed with what Matt, Andrey and Anton have built over the years,” added Steve Allison, Chief Business Officer of Saber Interactive. “Saber’s strength is the talented studios that build high-quality games at 30-50% the cost of industry norms.

It’s an honor to join Matt and the team as Saber enters this transformative period.”

    Allison has an extensive background in game publishing, marketing, and business development, with over 30 years of experience at the executive level and over 140 game launches. Prior to Epic Games, Allison was SVP of Publishing at Telltale Games for over 8 years, and established their tailored narrative approach as a wholly new genre in gaming while overseeing the studio’s growth into one of the industry’s leading publishers. Allison also held positions as Chief Marketing Officer & SVP at Midway Games and spent over 10 years at Atari in various roles including Vice President of Marketing & Business Development.

  • End of an era?

    End of an era?

    Looks like Sony is ending the sale of physical media and also closing the Playstation store on the PS3 and Vita. Below are the statements on both of these updates.

    Physical Disc Production ending

    In response to shifting trends in consumer preference, new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.

    As consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to shift away from physical discs to digital, physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will be discontinued starting January 2028.  Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only. This transition has no impact on games that already released, or will be releasing, prior to January 2028 in disc format.  

    This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs. This transition will enable us to align more closely with how most of our community prefers to access and play games today.  

    We’ll continue to prioritize our resources to drive innovation in how players can access games and provide choices as to where players prefer to purchase new games, whether that’s at retailers or PlayStation Store. We remain committed to delivering a world-class gaming experience to our fans and we thank you for your continued support. 

    Playstation 3 and Vita Store closing

    Changes start this year in select markets, followed by global changes in 2027.

    After nearly two decades of supporting the PS3 console generation, we wanted to let you know we will be closing the PlayStation Store on PS3, as well as on PS Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close in select markets starting this year, followed by global closures for PS3 and PS Vita next year. That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on these devices. To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future. 

    As the PlayStation Store continues to evolve to support modern commerce systems, including updated payment processing standards, PS3 and PS Vita are no longer able to support these updates at the level required. As a result, we will need to close PlayStation Store on these devices in the timeframes as follows:

    • Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026.
    • Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026.
    • In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027.

    We know this news may be disappointing to PS3 and PS Vita players who hold a special place in their hearts for this generation of gaming. PS3 and PS Vita represent an important era in our PlayStation history, so this was not an easy decision for us to make. 

    As we continue to expand the PlayStation experience on newer devices that most of our users are playing on today, we need to focus more resources on delivering the best gaming experiences on these platforms as we look ahead towards the future. 

    To our amazing players, we want to give our heartfelt thanks for your ongoing passion and support, which has helped inspire us to shape PlayStation into what it is today. We are excited for the future ahead as we continue to push the boundaries of play. We look forward to having you on this journey with us as we explore new game worlds and new adventures that have yet to come. 

    What are you all’s thoughts on these updates? What does this mean for ownership of the games we purchase?
