Just in time for the next-gen consoles to begin their pre-release hype window.

Activision confirms that the next Call of Duty, rumored to be Modern Warfare 4, will not be released on PlayStation 4. This confirmation came from the official Call of Duty Twitter (Nitter link) account in response to a rumor from a supposed Call of Duty leaker.

Over the weekend, a rumor kicked off from supposed Call of Duty leaker Alaix. Alaix claimed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is...

I, too, was surprised to hear it was still being supported.

DICE and Electronic Arts will no longer offer any sort of support for Battlefield Hardline on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Come Friday, May 22, Battlefield Hardline will be removed from the digital storefronts for these platforms.

A month later on June 22, the online services for Battlefield Hardline on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be taken down. It is assumed that the single player campaign for Battlefield...

It's come a long way from being so bad it had to be pulled entirely.

Cyberpunk 2077 can now be played by those with PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. It seems like both versions will allow you to play only the base game, with the Phantom Liberty expansion being a separate purchase for PlayStation 5 players.

The PlayStation 5 version includes higher resolution gameplay, ray tracing support, 3D audio, and DualSense exclusive...

Just four months after release.

Sony just announced the list of titles that are coming as part of the "free" monthly PlayStation Plus offerings for March 2025. With only four months under its belt, the BioWare developed Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be one of the three titles offered to subscribers.

If you can believe it, fans aren't happy about that.

At last week's State of Play showcase, Sony announced the remaster that everybody was waiting for: Days Gone. This PlayStation 5 release of Days Gone Remastered will have a $10 upgrade path if you already own the PlayStation 4 version of the game. That is, there is a $10 upgrade path except if you have access to Days Gone through your PlayStation Plus subscription.

Days Gone was previously offered to PS Plus subscribers...

Time for another round of bad news / good news from Sony.

The classic PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 console themes for the PlayStation 5 are going away tomorrow, January 31, 2025. This is the bad news.

These classic themes were added to the PlayStation 5 in late 2024 as part of Sony's 30th anniversary celebration of the launch of the original PlayStation. These themes included unique boot sequences, along with audio and visual changes to...

Maybe the other games will make up for it.

The January 2025 PlayStation Plus monthly games were announced by Sony. These are the games that will be offered to all PlayStation Plus subscribers starting January 7th.

Sony seems to believe that the highlight out of this month's bunch is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. I think most people would probably disagree with that assessment though. The other major titles being offered this month include Need for Speed Hot...

Get a hit of nostalgia while time permits.

Continuing the 30th anniversary celebration for PlayStation, Sony just released a new trailer celebrating the past 30 years of play. The video showcases some of Sony's long history of PlayStation titles, even though the focus is clearly skewed towards the PlayStation 3 and newer.

While it would have been nice to see far more original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 titles shown off in the video, it's a nice nod to a few of the...

After years of server woes, the plug is finally being pulled for good.

The PlayStation 4 version of LittleBigPlanet 3 along with all of its downloadable content will be pulled from the PlayStation Store on October 31, 2024. This move comes after years of server woes that began with the PlayStation 3 version of the game.

In January 2024, the online functionality for LittleBigPlanet 3 on PlayStation 4 came to a halt when servers were taken offline "temporarily."...

Season 8 also begins today.

Foamstars, the soap-infused competitive combat game full of good, clean, fun, is now available as a free-to-play title from Square Enix. Foamstars can be downloaded and played for free for everyone on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. As this is now a free-to-play title, no PlayStation Plus subscription is needed to play online.

Square Enix also notes that the eighth season of Foamstars, Diamond Jam, is now live in the game. This season adds...

Classic soundtracks, nostalgic Gran Turismo, and more.

The first PlayStation console released on December 3, 1994 and since that moment the PlayStation brand has been a major player in home entertainment. With the brand's 30th anniversary on the horizon this year, it's no surprise to hear that Sony has a few things planned to celebrate the three decade milestone with fans.

First up will be the release of Astro Bot on Friday, September 6th. This adventure platformer once...

No PlayStation Plus required.

Foamstars, the 4v4 suds-filled party shooter from Square Enix, will make the move to a free-to-play model on October 3 at 6PM PT. This F2P model will be for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Just as important here is the fact that this move to F2P means that a PlayStation Plus subscription is no longer required to play the game online. Removing two barriers to entry for Foamstars sounds like a pretty good thing to me.

Those...
