News Fans Are Praying Dead Space Is on the Cusp of a Comeback
EA rumoured to be reviving established IP
Dead Space was undoubtedly one of the standout series of the PlayStation 3 generation, but it was abandoned when it failed to rake in the kind of cash publisher EA expected at the time. The firm does appear to be softening of late, however: it’s bringing back fan favourites like Skate and EA Sports College...

News Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order the First Game to Offer Free Physical to Digital PS5 Upgrade
Just contact EA
Since the PlayStation 5 launched last November, free PS4 to PS5 upgrades have been fairly common as developers re-release their titles with enhancements for the new generation. The only problem has been if you own a physical copy of a PS4 game, you would have to also buy the PS5 system with a disc drive in order to qualify for the...
News PS4 Saves Are Compatible with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on PS5
No awkward transfers
Sony’s save transfer protocol, when shifting progress from the PlayStation 4 versions of games to the PS5, has been shoddy to say the least. Final Fantasy VII Remake – which released this week – requires you to install the PS4 version of the game, upload your progress to the game’s cloud, install the PS5 edition, and...
News Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Is, Er, Out Now on PS5
Not that EA wants you to know

News Battlefield 2042's First Year Will Be Marked by Four Battle Passes
Battle it out
Say what you will about developer DICE, but its post-release support is usually strong. Star Wars Battlefront 2 – a title rightly ridiculed at launch – blossomed into something spectacular once the Swedish studio was done with it, and Battlefield V also received some pretty impressive post-release additions as well. Battlefield...

Progress to Street Rank 25 without paying
Knockout City’s free ten-day trial period has concluded, and has been replaced with an alternative. You can now download and try the title up to Street Rank 25, which depending on how quickly you progress should give you a good five or so hours to test the dodgebrawler out. Think of this like a...
