New Vegas and 76 also in top 10
Fallout 4 was the UK's best-selling game last month, as the popularity of the TV adaptation from Amazon Prime keeps on fuelling sales. Combined with deep discounts across the entire series, Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz said the Bethesda RPG earned top spot "comfortably", with the second-placed EA Sports FC...
News Vengeful Fallout 76 Players Keep Nuking Xbox Boss Phil Spencer's Camp
Everyone liked that
Following a devastating week of Bethesda studio closures, which coincides with the Fallout franchise's recent bump in popularity (thanks to Amazon's excellent adaptation), it was only natural for the pressure to erupt somewhere. In a legitimately hilarious turn, vengeful Fallout 76 players have been vent
News Warner Bros Revenue Plummets as Suicide Squad Falls Completely Short of Hogwarts Legacy
Q1 revenue falls off a cliff
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was meant to be a smash hit for Warner Bros. The latest game from lauded Batman Arkham studio Rocksteady, it was in development for close to a decade, finally releasing a few months back, in February. But it goes without saying that things haven't gone to plan. Relative to the...
Hell yeah
PlayStation has published the PS Store sales charts for April, and the rankings make for an interesting read. High-profile PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade did pretty well, rocking up to second in North America and fourth in Europe. That's not quite on par with what we'd expect from, say, a AAA PlayStation Studios title, but it's still a very...
News Future Funk Season Adds New Maps and Events to Foamstars Later This Month on PS5, PS4
Yes, it's still alive
Square Enix's colourful multiplayer game, Foamstars, is reportedly quite a flop, but the show isn't over yet.

News Enticing Action RPG REYNATIS Hits PS5, PS4 in September
Shibuya scramble
REYNATIS, the rather intriguing action RPG that was announced a couple of months back, now has a confirmed release date on PS5 and PS4.

News This Year's Call of Duty May Not Be Included in Xbox Game Pass After All
Microsoft keeping a close eye on the financials
One of the big reasons Xbox fans were so eager for Microsoft to purchase Activision Blizzard was the promise of the juggernaut publisher’s output being included in subscription Game Pass at no extra cost. However, it appears the bean counters at the Redmond firm are reconsidering, and Xbox Series X|S...
News Mark Hamill Reprises Role as The Joker for MultiVersus on PS5, PS4
"Get a load of me"
The relaunch campaign for MultiVersus has been strange to say the least. We’d expected Player First Games to go hard on all the new content it’s bringing to the title after it was unceremoniously taken offline several months ago, but outside of a 28th May release date, it’s not actually annou
News Prey 2 Fan Account Falls Silent Following Arkane Studio Closure, Ending 2,560-Day Streak
"This isn't a dream. It's a nightmare. (Day 2,560)"
As we all come to terms with the news that Microsoft has shuttered several of its studios, including Arkane Austin, some are taking the news harder than others. Case in point: A Prey fan account that has been tweeting about the hoped-for sequel for 2,560 days straight has now fallen ominously...

Gundam Breakdown
Only announced back in February, Gundam Breaker 4 now has a confirmed release date. The action title, in which you build you own potentially crazy mobile suits, launches for PS5 and PS4 on the 29th August.

News Gaming Subs Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Aren't Growing At All
Stagnant for several years now
There was immense pressure on Sony at the beginning of the generation to copy Xbox Game Pass’ model of day one first-party releases, but as time goes by, it’s beginning to look like the Japanese giant dodged a bullet. While it has significantly improved its PS Plus offerings, the platform holder has always argued...

News Metaphor: ReFantazio Might Be the Most Stylish Atlus Game Ever, Going By New Screenshots
Metaphwoar
If you asked us for our opinion on the most stylish game in existence, we'd be very tempted to say Persona 5 takes the cake. We'd maybe argue that the more recent Persona 3 Reload is up there too. But Atlus might well have topped its own masterworks with the upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio, which just looks ridiculously good in these new...
