News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Registers Near 50 Per Cent Launch Decline
Crash landing
First, the good news for Activision shareholders: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has comfortably secured the second biggest UK launch of the year, falling just short of the week one numbers for FIFA 17.

Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of October 2016
Tanks, Titans, slimes, and psychedelic bugs
Wow, that was one heck of a busy month for us here at Push Square. October was jam packed with new releases, from your typical blockbusters to niche Japanese role-playing games and just about everything in between. And as if that wasn't bad enough, we were also buried under the avalanche that was the...

News New Persona 5 Trailer Introduces Your Best Mate Ryuji
Second in command
Oooh, another Persona 5 character trailer has arrived. This time we get introduced to Ryuji, who seems to be the typically enthusiastic member of the group. Much like Junpei in Persona 3 and Yosuke in Persona 4, Ryuji looks like he'll fit nicely into the role of being the protagonist's best buddy. We're really liking his skull...

Berserk, Titanfall 2, and Mafia III also arrive
The latest Japanese charts are in, and they make for relatively interesting reading thanks to an influx of new releases on Sony platforms.

News UK Sales Charts: Titanfall 2 Fails to Make an Impact on PS4
FPS flops
Despite being billed as one of the best shooter campaigns in years, Titanfall 2 has struggled to make an impact on the UK sales charts – even with the franchise making its PlayStation 4 debut. Early estimates show that the title struggled to sell half of what the original managed on the Xbox One alone, though the tracking period does...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Battlefield 1 Blasts into First Place on PS4
Sony's console still on top
Battlefield 1's debut is the big talking point of the latest Japanese sales charts, with EA's World War shooter claiming the top spot of the software list. The historical foray sold through a relatively impressive 113,081 copies on PlayStation 4. Aside from NBA 2K17 entering in sixth, though, it's been another quiet week...

What are you Tethered to?
It's nice to see Sony keeping the PlayStation Store well stocked with PlayStation VR content now that the headset's out.

News PSN Down as Engineers Work to Resolve Issues
Offline and out
We thought that Sony was on top of these PlayStation Network outages, but a major DDoS attack seems to have unsettled the firm's good run of form. The service is down again this morning, with the platform holder reporting that engineers are on the case as we type. Offline time has been kept to a minimum of late, so there's a good...
Store Update 25th October 2016 (Europe)
All the fun of the fair
These PlayStation Store updates get more ridiculous by the week. There are no less than 37 new PlayStation 4 games launching as part of today's European restock, though there are some bundles and duplicates padding that number out a touch. Still… What?! These are crazy times, readers. PS4 Games: Farming Simulator 17 –...
News UK Sales Charts: Battlefield 1 Beats Out Combined Week One Sales of Predecessors
Battlefield won
Battlefield 1 launched strongly in the UK, outselling the combined week one tally of both Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline. While this is impressive, it's perhaps worth remembering that Battlefield 4's sales got off to a slightly slower start than usual due to it launching prior to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Nevertheless,...

Red Dead Redemption 2 dominated the headlines on Push Square this week – though there was a bigger industry-wide story in the form of the upcoming Nintendo Switch.

Take your pick
We're not quite sure how it's happened, but apparently it's already approaching November.

So, after the excellent October update which included...

What, again?
Eh? Is this a regular occurrence now or something? The PlayStation Network is once again having issues on a Friday, although they don't seem to be impacting everyone.

So, PlayStation VR is now out in the wild, and Potter's finally got his hands on a unit, so we cut to the chase this episode and knuckle down to discuss – well, attempt to – just how the headset stacks up. We also ask the important questions: should you buy one and if you do, what games are worth your time? The...
News Fresh Persona 5 Trailer Reveals English Voice Work
Talk the talk
What do we think of this, then? Our first real taste of Persona 5's English voice work comes in the form of the role-playing game's latest English trailer - and it's already got fans squabbling over its quality. To be totally honest with you, it sounds pretty much exactly as we expected, and given that the series has had plenty of good...

Only one VR title makes it into top 20
Rise of the Tomb Raider jumped straight into the top five of the latest Japanese software charts on PlayStation 4, selling through 21,152 copies in second place. Not a huge amount, but it's really the only new PlayStation entry worth talking about. Well, aside from PlayStation VR Worlds, which sold through just...

Bat and battlefield
There are no prizes for guessing the highlight on the European PlayStation Store this week – and, no, it's not Batman: Return to Arkham. (Yes, that's actually out today!) No, top billing this time goes to Battlefield 1. Are you planning to pick up the World War I shooter? PS4 Games: World of Final Fantasy Dungeon Demo (Not in...
News Sleeping Dogs 2 Hopes Put Down as United Front Games Shuts Shop
You won't be seeing Wei Shen again
Sleeping Dogs deserved so much more. The Hong Kong-based, pork bun-wielding cult classic didn't exactly set the cash registers alight, but it was universally adored by those who played it – primarily because it was essentially Grand Theft Auto without crap controls. While many held out hope for a sequel, however,...
News UK Sales Charts: PlayStation VR Titles Attack Top 40
FIFA 17 still top of the league, though
A whopping eight PlayStation VR games entered the UK sales charts this week, with PlayStation VR Worlds placing the highest in seventh position.

News Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Will Skip the PlayStation 3
MMO expansion launching on PS4 next summer
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is the next major expansion for Square Enix's uber-popular MMORPG, but if you're still playing the game on the PlayStation 3, then you're going to need to switch to the PlayStation 4 to keep up to date, as the add-on won't be releasing on Sony's last-gen system. Announced at...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Enjoys Another Week at the Top
Holding steady
Unless you really like Monster Hunter spin-offs, there's not really much to talk about when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts. Capcom's new Nintendo 3DS title unsurprisingly topped the software list, while the only fresh PlayStation release to make the top 20 was BlazBlue: Central Fiction. The stylish fighting game sequel...

The biggest ever?
This must be some kind of record! Sony's dropped the European PlayStation Store update, and between PlayStation VR and a slew of holiday heavy hitters, this has to be the largest refresh ever. This author's been writing about PlayStation for eons now, but can't ever remember this many titles dropping in the same week. PS4 Games:...

An offer you couldn't refuse
Perhaps the Vinnie Jones promotion paid off after all, as Mafia III has soared to near the top of the UK sales charts, registering a 58.7 per cent improvement over its predecessor. Unsurprisingly with that kind of stat, the open world crime title secured the biggest launch week in the series' history thus far – and...

JPRG approaches half a million sales
According to the latest Media Create sales charts, Persona 5 currently sits at 427,795 copies sold across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Not quite Yo-kai Watch numbers, but still reasonably impressive given that Atlus titles have never been sales juggernauts. Even more impressive is that Persona 5 is now...
News Japanese Sales Charts: FIFA 17 Tops the Software Table on PS4
Through on goal
FIFA 17 had a sort-of-decent opening week in Japan, selling through 57,012 copies on PlayStation 4 and topping the software charts. For the sake of comparing, PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer currently sits at 90,575 copies on Sony's current-gen console, so with a few more weeks under its belt, EA's latest entry could end up matching...

There's no breakout of every version of FIFA 17 in this week's North American PlayStation Store update, so it looks positively teensy compared to its European counterpart.

Ayn achievement
A lack of new releases mean that BioShock: The Collection maintained its place at the summit of the UK sales charts this week, fending off PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer for a second term. Destiny: The Collection was the only new entry in fourth, with most fans of that series locked into the PlayStation Store these days. Overwatch...
