Store Update 27th May 2015 (Europe)
Goods to go
How are we supposed to effectively copy and paste the European PlayStation Store update when you keep changing the layout Sony? Oh right, that's not your concern – fair enough. We'll just get down to business, then: Ultra Street Fighter IV is the biggest new arrival this time, but you may want to think twi
News Japanese Sales Charts: Console Sales Remain Pretty Terrible, But Witcher 3 PS4 Takes Top Spot
Get in, Geralt
The old saying goes that things will get worse before they get better, and that's hopefully what's happening with Japan's hardware market. Once again, last week was pretty dismal for hardware sales, as not a single console made it past the 20,000 mark. The PlayStation 4 saw a slight increase, jumping from 11,489 to 12,096 units, but...
News Don't Hold Your Breath for the PS3 Version of Mortal Kombat X
Don't get over here
While we can never be quite sure as to how many PlayStation 3 users are still looking forward to playing Mortal Kombat X, we still reckon that there's going to be bouts of disappointment over the latest news regarding the last-gen port. The game's already been delayed once, but now it's looking like its release has been pushed...
News Star Ocean 5 May Shine Bright at E3 2015
Looks like it's flying West
We don't know all that much about Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness, but that could change in the relatively near future. According to the game's character designer, Akira Yasuda, the team's busy working on imagery for E3 2015. It's unclear what kind of appearance the sci-fi role-playing game will put in at the...

News DICE Explains Why Star Wars: Battlefront Had To Skip PlayStation 3
If only you knew the power of the next-gen
EA and DICE's interpretation of Star Wars: Battlefront is coming to next-gen consoles this November, totally skipping the likes of the PS3 and Xbox 360. This might prove a bitter pill to swallow for those of you that haven't yet upgraded to the PlayStation 4, but according to Star Wars: Battlefront's...

Almost time to make your PlayStation predictions
Ah, the Bonus Round – a sure sign that E3 is right around the corner. Industry hotshot Geoff Keighley has been hosting press conference prediction panels since the beginning of time itself, and this year is no different. We'll obviously have our own build-up to the Japanese giant's major media...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 69
Cry us a Rivia
It's the end of another lively week here at Push Square Towers, which means that it's time for your regular dose of WAYP. We've been beating The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt drum pretty hard here of late, but we've got a sneaking suspicion that you'll be doing something similar in the comments section. Prove us right below. Sammy Barker,...
Talking Point What Freebies Would You Like in June's PlayStation Plus Update?
Take your pick
If all goes to plan, June's big PlayStation Plus update should be announced at some point next week. Indeed, the content will likely roll out on 2nd June in North America and 3rd June in Europe, so we'd expect Sony to outline the offering on this coming Wednesday or Thursday – although it has left things until the last minute in the...
News Japanese Game Sales Hit a Whole New Low Last Week
The beginning of the end
Japan may be responsible for our love affair with video games, but the country is quickly going off the consoles that it helped to popularise. You may remember the dire Media Create figures that we posted earlier in the week – well, they are worse than you think. Much worse. According to the organisation, last week's...
News Europe's Getting Atlus JRPG Lost Dimension One Month Late
Could be worse
Good old Atlus and its insistence to always be late to the European party. In the past, we inhabitants of the Old World have had to wait months for titles like Dragon's Crown, but when we heard that prolific publisher NIS America would be handling the European launch of upcoming Japanese role-playing game Lost Dimension, we had some...

At long last
We live in an age where long game delays between regions are uncommon, but Guilty Gear Xrd Sign has managed to buck that trend.

Chair you go

News Are We About to See More Simultaneous PlayStation Store Launches?
Wait no more
We've noticed a change on the PlayStation Store of late. It used to be in the days of yore that games and add-on packs deployed on Tuesday in North America and Wednesday in Europe. Sony set up this schedule eons ago, and it's remained more or less unchanged in the years since. However, we've started to see more and more content launch...
News Borderlands: The Handsome Collection's PS4 Patch Is the Game's Funniest Joke
Just under 10GB
Ah, broadband – it's not like any of us have usage caps or anything. Gearbox Software doesn't seem to care, as it's dropped a jumbo patch for Borderlands: The Handsome Collection weighing in at a reported 9.2GB. The update – which is also available specifically for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on the PlayStation 3 – promises...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4, Vita Flounder as Final Fantasy Tops
Depression quest
Well, the hangover from Golden Week makes for particularly dire reading in this week's Japanese sales charts. As has been the case a lot lately, the PlayStation 4 was top of the hardware charts – though the Nintendo 3DS beat it comfortably if you combine its various models – but the numbers were disappointing across the board...
Store Update 20th May 2015 (Europe)
House of (white) Wolves
This week's European PlayStation Store update certainly isn't the biggest in recent memory, but it's packing some massive releases. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is obviously the highlight, but Farming Simulator 15 is worth a shout as well – we'll have more on both throughout the week. There are a couple of big expansions also...
News Take-Two CEO Denies That There Were Ever Plans for GTA V to Get Single Player DLC
But the executive apparently misspoke
So, remember back when Rockstar Games said that Grand Theft Auto V would be getting some story-based DLC? Yeah, like a super long time ago? Turns out that never happened. Crazy, right? But when Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked about any upcoming content in a recent earnings call, he seemed a bit dazed,...

Never stop playing
If your wallet's still recovering from last week's Flash Sale, then you may want to give your browser's back button a great big prod before reading on: Sony has announced another PlayStation Store sale in North America. This one has an Extended Play theme, meaning that it centres on Season Passes, and various double packs. The...
Store Update 19th May 2015 (North America)
Crop circles
Don't make us type out the name of CD Projekt Red's latest game again – we must be approaching triple figures by now. Instead, we'll spotlight some of the smaller titles available as part of this week's North American PlayStation Store update... Like Farming Simulator 15. The rest of the office won't let your host write it too much,...
News Sony's Raising Money for the People of Nepal

Hours away
If you haven't been keeping an eye on Bungie's social media accounts, then there's a good chance that you stumbled onto the PlayStation Store this morning expecting to find Destiny's second slice of DLC, House of Wolves. The new add-on is due out today, but it's actually being held hostage until a little later. The developer stated on...
Out This Week The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Destiny: House of Wolves, Farming Simulator 15
On the scent
If your name's not The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, then you may be asking yourself why you weren't delayed into next week. Seriously, it's hard to see anything breaking through the hype that's currently circling CD Projekt Red's open world escapade like a (white) wolf. To be fair, though, there's something for everyone here, from the...

Chaos theory
After the cataclysmic events at the end of the previous episode, the search for Rachel Amber will intensify in Life Is Strange: Episode 3 - Chaos Theory this week.

News Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Breaks a Leg on PS4
We did Nazi this coming
As with Project CARS last week, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood sold best at UK retail on the PlayStation 4 by some margin. According to Chart-Track, 67 per cent of physical copies were sold on Sony's system, compared to just 27 per cent on the Xbox One. The game debuted in second on the UK sales charts, despite it deploying...
News Grand Theft Auto V Has Sold Five Million Units in the UK
Crime wave
We wonder how many hours UK gamers have spent hammering the X button to sprint in Grand Theft Auto V – it's got to be quite a lot, right? We may have reservations about the controls in Rockstar Games' open world opus, but there's no denying the title's overall quality – it's a stunning release that puts almost all other sandboxes to...
News UK Sales Charts: Project CARS Remains at the Front of the Pack
Record breaker
Here's an amazing bit of trivia for you: Project CARS is the first Bandai Namco published title to secure two consecutive weeks at the top of the UK charts since Ridge Racer Type-4 over 16 years ago. The simulation game saw a sizeable drop off in sales compared to its launch week, but was uncontested by the physical version of...
Push Rewind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, E3 2015, Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Konami craziness, PS4 sales, and more
It's been a bit all over the place here at Push Square Towers this week. We're in that hectic period just prior to E3 where there are few major stories breaking, but lots of little tidbits to talk about. Take the purported formation of a new PlayStation first-party team, being built purely to work on Project...
Store Preview The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Farming Simulator 15, and More
Beware the big bad wolf
It's certainly not the biggest PlayStation Store update next week, but it may just have a little something for everyone. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is undoubtedly the hot new arrival, and if you didn't know already, that'll be available on the PlayStation 4. We intend to have lots more coverage of Geralt of Rivia's adventure...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 68
Brilliance in brevity
A short but sweet edition of WAYP this week, as the bulk of the team's busy with various review assignments. Even though we're technically in the "lull" before E3, there's still tons of software deploying on the PlayStation 4 – partly due to those all-important indie titles that Sony has signed up. Will the smaller digital...
News Natsuiro High School Is Not the PS4, PS3 Photography Game We Had in Mind
Looks pants
We could totally go for a new Afrika right about now. Going on Safari, expensive Nikon in hand, may have been an acquired taste on the PlayStation 3 – but it was something wholly different in an industry dominated by shooters and sidescrollers. Natsuiro High School, an open world photography game from D3 Publisher, has potential, then...
News PSN Offline for Some as the Weekend Arrives
Down and out
That massive Flash Sale must have overwhelmed Sony's servers, as the PlayStation Network is currently offline. While we're seeing plenty of complaints around the web, not everyone here at Push Square Towers is affected, so hopefully this is a minor hiccup, rather than a full-scale outage. Follow us on Twitter for up-to-the-minute PSN...
News PS4, PS3, Vita Prices Plunge in Fab NA Flash Sale
Everything under a fiver
It's the weekend, so we're guessing that you're in the market for some cut price PlayStation Network software. Sony's back in North America with another quite frankly outrageous Flash Sale, spanning the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita. Most of the games available will set you back just $4.80, like the Mass Effect...
News These New LittleBigPlanet 3 Costumes Are Just the Best
Sackboy loves indies
LittleBigPlanet costumes were once a novelty, but over the years, they've become less exciting. These fresh outfits for a slew of popular indie titles really are adorable, though – especially the Octodad: Dadliest Catch uniform. Available throughout the month of May, you'll be able to nab a burlap edition of the aforementioned...
News April 2015 NPD: PS4 Slumps to Shock Defeat
Xbox One brushes PS4 aside
Well, well, well – this is unexpected. We reported on the PlayStation 3's failure to top the NPD charts for many years, but we've already fallen into a pattern where we expect the PlayStation 4 to lead. However, the numbers coming out of the United States for April 2015 may wake both Sony and ourselves up, as the Xbox...

Welcome to the arena
This explosive new gameplay trailer for Destiny's House of Wolves, which releases in just five days time, shows off just about everything that you can expect from the sci-fi shooter's latest downloadable content.

News LEGO Jurassic World's New Trailer Lets Loose with Playable Dinosaurs
Yes, that includes raptors
Raptors are supposed to be really smart creatures - we know that from the Jurassic Park movies - but have you ever seen one assemble a LEGO kit? No, neither have we, but that's what you'll be doing in LEGO Jurassic World, which releases on the 12th June on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita. The game's latest...
News Sorry PS3, Sony Says PS4 Is Very Much the Focus Now
New-gen format is the future
The switch in Sony's focus to the PlayStation 4 has been much more dramatic than in generations past. Those of you with strong memories may recall the PlayStation 2 selling almost 50 million units once it had been succeeded, but the PlayStation 3 has fallen away in almost all territories outside of Asia. This is...
News Sci-Fi JRPG Lost Dimension Entrusts Us with a Western Release Date and Free DLC
No betrayal here
If you'll recall, we wrote about PlayStation 3 and Vita title Lost Dimension a little while back, and exclaimed that it seemed to have the makings of an interesting role-playing game. Atlus' creation sees you team up with a bunch of stylish teens, and as the plot progresses, you'll need to decide who's an enemy, and who isn't...
News You'll Have to Wait a Little Bit Longer For Destiny's 1.2.0 Patch
Light in the darkness
All of you Guardians that are patiently awaiting Destiny's much anticipated update 1.2.0 had better set down your rifles for the time being, as Bungie's revealed that it's still busy tweaking the upcoming patch. Many assumed that the update would launch a few days ago, but due to a technical issue that the developer seems to...
News Mortal Kombat X Rips the Head from April's PlayStation Store Charts
Top of the karate chops
It looks like plenty of PlayStation 4 users in both North America and Europe were screaming get over here at Mortal Kombat X last month, as NetherRealm Studios' beat-'em-up has topped the April 2015 PlayStation Store charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Warner Bros' fighter finished first in both territories, though there...
News Badland: Game of the Year Edition Brings Yet More Quirky Platforming to PS4, PS3, and Vita
How many's that now?
We've completely lost count of how many side scrolling platformers are available on PlayStation platforms. With the advent of the PS4 and its keen indie initiative, it feels like we get about ten platforming-puzzler hybrids pushed onto the PlayStation Store every week. Lo and behold, here we have, of course, the announcement of...
News Hella Good News! Life Is Strange: Episode 3 Launches Next Week
For reals
If the fantasy setting of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn't whetting your whistle, then you may be more tempted to tour Arcadia Bay from 19th May instead. Square Enix has announced that the third episode in its divisive high school series Life Is Strange will debut next week on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. If you've already stumped up...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Overtakes PS4 as Not a Single New-Gen Title Enters Top 20
Ouch
The PlayStation 4's steadily slipping down the Japanese charts, as it suffered another sales drop last week. Sony's latest console shifted 15,992 units as it fell into third place, behind the New 3DS LL and the PS Vita. The latter continues to escape store shelves at a solid rate, though, selling through 17,273 units. You can compare the...
Store Update 13th May 2015 (Europe)
Tasty stuff
If you like indie games, you're in luck this week, as there are a lot of them being added as part of the European PlayStation Store update. Nom Nom Galaxy, Lost Orbit, and Toren are perhaps the biggest names in that department – but a quick shout out to Schrodinger's Cat, too. Of
News PS3 Owners, It's Time to Upgrade to the PS4
Ubisoft's moving on
There are still lots of people clinging to the fact that the PlayStation 3 has a much larger install base than the PlayStation 4, but the reality is that there are many, many more active users on Sony's super machine. Ubisoft thinks so anyway, as it's ditching development on last-gen systems – well, aside from the odd casual...
News Battlefield and Dragon Age Feature in EA Dominated EU PS4 Store Deals
EAint all bad
The PlayStation 4 hasn't been shafted this week when it comes to PlayStation Store discounts, as there are a load of deals to browse regarding Sony's latest console. Most notably, you can get 50 per cent off Battlefield 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition, while Battlefield Hardline's price tag has been slashed by 38, 36, and 23 per cent,...
Store Update 12th May 2015 (North America)
We go again
People say that the PlayStation 4 has no games, but we often look at the North American PlayStation Store update and weep. Our review planning document can't keep up with all the new arrivals, and when you take a look at the sheer scale of new releases available in this week's refresh, you may be able to appreciate why. Of course, it's...
News PlayStation Exclusive Persona 5's Nabbed a Release Window, and It's Looking Promising
Pray for Europe
It's arguably not a point that's being made as much as it should be, but Persona 5 is a big deal for PlayStation. The Japanese role-playing game series is on the very cusp of becoming a smash hit, with Persona 4 being a critical and commercial success not just in Japan, but over here in the West, too. If you still haven't seen...
Out This Week Final Fantasy X|X-2 PS4, The Last of Us: Left Behind, Double Dragon
Yuna you want it
It's a bit of a filler week here on Planet PlayStation, as a storm labelled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lurks on the horizon. There's no doubt that CD Projekt RED's hotly anticipated role-playing release is the title that's on everyone's lips, and so proceedings are looking a little light this time out. To be fair, though, there's no...
News LEGO Dimensions' Toy Sets Are More Tempting Than the Game
A price to pay
The world really doesn't need another toys-to-life title, but we have to admit that these LEGO Dimensions add-ons are pretty darn tempting. As previously rumoured, the likes of Portal 2, Doctor Who, and The Simpsons will be joining the post-release party – and these first shots of the sets have us strangely tempted. The Valve...

News UK Sales Charts: Project CARS Roars to Pole Position on PS4
Racing ahead
Crowd funded racing game Project CARS has pulled ahead of the pack, scoring the first simulation podium position since GRID 2 all the way back in 2013. The title sold best on the PlayStation 4 – which is not especially surprising considering the lack of similar games on Sony's system – and finished in front of familiar favourites...

Geralt the grey
This week will be remembered as the one in which The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt fever set in. Associate editor Robert Ramsey has been uploading every video and image under the sun, and much to this author's amazement, you lot keep darn well clicking on them. Sony also sent a few ripples through the industry by announcing that it won't be...

Guess who got the Bloodborne Platinum Trophy? Here's a hint: he's handsome, loves Taylor Swift, and works for Push Square. Oh God, no – it wasn't darn well Sammy. It was actually me, but as a result of that case of mistaken identity, I'm going to sulk for the remainder of this pre-amble. Watch the video if you like... Whatever...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 67
Red faced
Whoops! This author totally forgot about WAYP this week, meaning that he was forced to send an embarrassed email to the rest of the team this morning, begging for submissions. Fortunately, a handful of scribes followed through, which means our weekend feature is still yet to miss a week. This is impressive form considering how forgetful...

Destiny's House of Wolves DLC throws quite a few bits and pieces into the sci-fi shooter mix, and if you haven't been keeping up to date with what's being added, then we'd suggest taking a peek at the trailer that we've embedded. At just over five minutes long, Bungie details the new activities that you'll be able to take part in,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Is Finally Knocked from Top Spot
Not too much of a fall, though
The PlayStation 4's still doing moderately well in Japan, despite the fact that it's finally been knocked from its perch at the summit by the Wii U, presumably because of several strong software releases on Nintendo's platform. Fortunately for Sony, its console still sold 19,782 units, which isn't a huge drop in sales...
News Your Copy of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne Is About to Plummet in Value
Well, in North America anyway
Time to boot up eBay and offload one of your prize PSone possessions: The Misadventures of Tron Bonne is now available on the PlayStation Network.

Fatalities and shovels, not necessarily in that order
Oooh, those bloody indies, eh? Ruining everyone's fun with their SNES graphics and their obsession with pop culture references. "We're not ripping off old games!" they cry. "We're paying homage! It's different!" Meanwhile, the stoic and the knowledgeable among us shake our heads in disgust as...
Reaction Destiny's Prison of Elders Is a Step in the Right Direction
Prepare for combat
Raids can be a lot of fun, especially with the right people. The six-player co-op activities have long served as Destiny's true endgame challenges which require teamwork, prior knowledge, and plenty of effective firepower – but they're not for everyone. For starters, they don't allow for any kind of matchmaking, so you need to...
News Mammoth PlayStation Network Maintenance Scheduled for Monday
Just another Manic Monday
Sony will be searching out its spanners and giving the PlayStation Network's servers a good seeing to next week, as it's announced that a pretty prolonged period of maintenance will take place on Monday, 11th May.

Reaction Sony's Decision to Skip Its Annual Gamescom Stage Show Is Sound
Focus on Paris Games Week makes sense
Seal the bunker: Sony's skipping Gamescom 2015. Well, not really – the organisation will still almost certainly occupy a spot on the Cologne show floor, but it'll be holding its annual European media briefing on 27th October at Paris Games Week instead. The misconception here – from what we've read around...
Live Say Goodbye to Raids and Hello to Destiny's Prison of Elders Right Here
Jail break
No, the Prison of Elders isn't a harshly named old folks' home - it's actually one of the main draws of Destiny's next DLC, House of Wolves. The download, which will be available later this month, doesn't feature a Raid, so the Prison of Elders will replace the traditional endgame activities - at least to some degree. As far as we know,...
Feature What Is Dragon Age: Inquisition's Free Black Emporium DLC Exactly?
Myths and legends
Brrrr, the spooky Black Emporium is back in Dragon Age: Inquisition as free DLC this week. The location, which generally houses a bunch of rare items for you to buy, first appeared in Dragon Age II where it roughly offered the same services that it does now. Ruled over by a rather spooky merchant named Xenon the Antiquarian, it's...
Rumour The Taken King Is Destiny's Big September DLC
Return of the king
A while back now, it was rumoured that Destiny would be getting a larger expansion in September. The rumour started with a supposedly leaked image of the shooter's DLC plan, and now, eagle eyed NeoGAF user Kifimbo has spotted a trademark for 'The Taken King', which has appeared alongside what seems to be a logo. With the title's...
News Sony's Not Holding a Press Conference at Gamescom This Year
Will share exciting announcements in Paris this October
There's no doubt that E3 gets the most hype when it comes to gaming conventions, but we've always preferred the slightly more subtle approach at Gamescom. Over the years, Sony's used the German convention as a base for some of its more out-there announcements; the likes of WiLD, Until Dawn, and

News SEGA's Not Even Bothering Having a Booth at E3 2015
Shen-boo
We all love PlayStation here at Push Square Towers, but we have a soft spot for SEGA's systems of old, too. Growing up in the UK, both the Master System and the Mega Drive were arguably more popular than their Nintendo rivals – and while we'll gleefully admit that the Saturn deserved to get trounced by the PSone, the Dreamcast certainly...

If you're already tempted by LEGO Dimensions, then this is going to be an expensive Christmas for you: Disney Infinity 3.0 has just been announced, and unsurprisingly, it's shoving in more Star Wars than you can stomach.

Ollie ollie

News Here's Your First Look at Destiny's Raid Replacing Prison of Elders Co-Op Mode
Fight or die
The teaser trailer for Destiny's highly anticipated Prison of Elders activity has hit the web, and it gifts us with our first look at the co-op component. As expected, it appears to be a sort of horde mode, where three Guardians will have to face off against waves of foes. The official reveal will air tomorrow on Bungie's Twitch...
News Endure the Flames with Dragon Age: Inquisition's Free DLC Trailer
Get behind me
Truth be told, we've grown a bit cold on Dragon Age: Inquisition's multiplayer mode. The co-op component supports up to four players, and while it can be fantastic fun with friends, grouping up with random players can lead to disaster if you're not all on the same page. That said, we're actually tempted to hop back into the action...

News Portal Pinball Carries Out Some Tests on PS4, PS3, Vita
Chell's bells
Portal – and its imaginatively titled sequel Portal 2 – remain two of the most critically acclaimed games from last generation. With the recent rumour regarding a LEGO Dimensions pack themed around the popular franchise, you'd be forgiven for wanting to revisit Aperture Laboratories. But if you can't be bothered fishing out the...

If you were eager to get your grubby mitts on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's collector's edition, then you may be out of luck - at least in the UK. According to retailer GAME, the title's most expensive package is sold out. Given that the edition is a GAME exclusive in the UK, those who were holding off on grabbing t
News Dragon Age: Inquisition's Latest Patch Fixes an Absolute Ton of Bugs and Prepares for Free DLC
Black Emporium and co-op expansion coming to North America today
Ever get really angry over the fact that your character's beard in Dragon Age: Inquisition doesn't quite fit his face? Or that you didn't get the blasted trophy for killing all ten of those damned dragons? Well, it's time to simmer down, because a nice big patch is waiting for you on...

News Yet More Fuel Gets Added to the Tales of Zestiria PS4 Fire
Not again
We may have just based this site's first ever edition of Push Square Predicts on the topic of Tales of Zestiria coming to PlayStation 4, but that hasn't stopped yet more rumours from popping up over night. During a recent Japanese event, words from series producer Hideo Baba have caused fans to ponder the meaning behind them. If you'll...
News PlayStation Now Gets You into Your Games Faster Than Ever Before
Stream if you wanna go faster
PlayStation Now has been alive and kicking in the US for a little while now, but we're only just starting to get our first taste of the service in the UK. Sony is currently running a beta in Britain, which has allowed Digital Foundry to write a full and frank report on the state of the cloud gaming initiative. Its...
News UK Sales Charts: Mortal Kombat X Marks the Top Spot
Fatality attraction
Despite being a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, there were no major software releases. This has, of course, resulted in Mortal Kombat X holding onto its position at the top of the territory's sales charts for the third successive week, which means that it only needs to fight off Project CARS in order to match Battlefield...
News Oh Chell No! LEGO Dimensions to Get Portal Pack?
Companion cubes
LEGO Dimensions, the toy-based title by Traveller's Tales, already has brands such as Batman and Lord of the Rings in its stable – but US retailer Walmart appears to have accidentally product pages for a Portal pack. Valve's first-person puzzler will seemingly be accompanied by The Simpsons, Jurassic World, and Scooby Doo – but...
Push Square Predicts Will Tales of Zestiria Make the Journey to PS4?
Heads or Tales
We've said it once and we'll say it again: Bandai Namco would be crazy not to port Tales of Zestiria to the PlayStation 4. The Japanese action role-playing game released on the PlayStation 3 back in January in its homeland, and it's slated to hit store shelves at some point this autumn in the West – but it doesn't take a genius to...
Out This Week Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Ether One, Project CARS
Pick 'n' mix
You can never have too much of a good thing, as Wolfenstein: The Old Blood looks set to prove this week. MachineGames' first-person reboot was surprisingly well received when it released last year, and so it's no surprise that the Swedish studio is giving the shooter another shot. It's not the only major arrival scheduled to land on...
Push Rewind PlayStation Plus Freebies, Broken Age, Shovel Knight
Wingin' it
T'was a fairly uneventful week on Planet PlayStation last week, which worked out rather conveniently for us. We spent a bunch of our time travelling and chatting as we planned the next stage of the site, so we probably picked the right days to take time out. Alas, we did have some big news, features, and reviews, so let us round...
Rumour Tales of Zestiria May Be the Franchise's First PS4 Game
Second retailer lists game on new-gen console
Rumour has it that Tales of Zestiria is coming to PlayStation 4 - and it's a murmur that we would truly like to believe. Talk of the latest entry in the Tales Of franchise appearing on Sony's newest console has been rife ever since the PlayStation 3 title was announced, but there's been no official word...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 66
The late edition
It's been a tiring few days of travel here at Push Square Towers, so we apologise for the tardiness both on the site and in publishing What Are You Playing – it won't happen again (any time soon). With our batteries recharged and our minds refocused, though, it's time to look forward, as we prepare to take the site to the next...
News Dragon Age: Inquisition Is Looting a Lot of Free DLC Next Week
The magic mirror
You can't argue with free DLC, especially when it contains a slew of features that fans will no doubt adore. BioWare's in the good books, then, since Dragon Age: Inquisition is getting a fair bit of free content next week. First up is the Black Emporium - a recurring location that offers up oodles of rare items and bits of gear for...
News The Last of Us: Left Behind Breaks Out on Its Own
Riley good
The Last of Us: Left Behind served up an affecting slice of single player content that extended the core campaign of Naughty Dog's survival horror opus. But if you never played the main adventure, and are keen to see what all of the fuss is about, Sony's breaking out the DLC and re-releasing it as a standalone product. Think inFAMOUS:...

A little more personal
Persona 5 is going to be one heck of a stylish Japanese role-playing game - that much has been certain since it was initially revealed.
