News Sony Steps Up Its Champions League Sponsorship
They are the champions
One of the reasons that PlayStation is such a big presence in Europe is because the brand is a major partner of the Champions League, arguably the biggest club football tournament in the world. And it's been announced that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is extending its partnership with the competition for three additional...
Store Update 21st July 2015 (Europe)
One last voyage

News Tons of PS4 Releases Reduced on European PlayStation Store
Penny pincher
Another week, another slew of stellar discounts on the European PlayStation Store.

Both the PlayStation 3 and Vita are also...
Store Update 14th July 2015 (Europe)
Take your pick
Oh right, Sony's still doing that weird thing where it posts the European PlayStation Store update on Tuesday, but a ton of the content doesn't actually release until later in the week. We forgot this time SCEE, but we'll be back next week and we'll be on time, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. PS4 Games: Arcade Archives...
Store Update 7th July 2015 (Europe)
Day early friend
Well this is all rather new, isn't it? The European PlayStation Store historically doesn't update until Wednesday, but with more and more games dropping on a Tuesday, it seems like Sony's decided to share the lineup for the Old World a little earlier. It's worth noting that not every game is out today, but most are. The question is:...
Store Update 1st July 2015 (Europe)
Ready sweat go
If you didn't already know, it's been a scorching couple of days for us here in the UK. We've had to deal with melting editors, sticky office chairs, and, of course, combusting consoles. Now we don't know about you, but that usually means it's a good time to close the curtains, slap the air conditioning on, and play some games...
News The PS4 Is Absolutely Destroying The Competition in Europe
Welcome to the Old World
Sony's always done incredibly well in Europe with its home consoles - that much we know - but we didn't realise just how well its latest system, the PlayStation 4, is doing over here in the Old World. "Well, we have market leadership in every country in Europe, and have very significant market leadership in continental...

A ton of top PlayStation titles have had their digital prices slashed in Europe this week, as Sony's online plaza aims to explore what's big in Japan.

Sorry for the delay
Oh, right – the European PlayStation Store update. Yeah, embarrassingly we forgot to post this yesterday, but it's been a darn busy week.

News Sony Hasn't Quite Grasped This Flash Sale Thing in Europe
Bloodborne's price plunges for a few days
Not only is the weather bad and the fast food worse here in the UK, but we also have to sit and watch idly as our American friends indulge in some outrageous PlayStation Network Flash Sales from time to time. The good news is that SCEE is starting to learn about the benefits of last-minute discounts; the bad...

Last minute
E3 hype! E3 hype! E3 hype! So busy has today been that we almost, almost forgot about the European PlayStation Store update.

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 Sony Hypes PS4 as the World's Most Powerful Console in Commercial
Strong as an ox
Similarly to yesterday's best games montage, Sony has dropped a new European commercial boasting that the PlayStation 4 is the world's most powerful console. It includes footage of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Bloodborne, and Batman: Arkham Knight, so it's clearly trying to capitalise on current releases. To be fair, the format does...
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...

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.

News The Order: 1886 Ain't Commanding Antique Prices on the PS4
Exclusive is Europe's latest Deal of the Week
Since an early age, this author has found the very idea of 'antiques' baffling. Call us common, but it strikes us that the industry simply peddles old tat under a more appealing name in order to make it seem more valuable; who wants a grotty old table when you can buy a brand new one alongside some...
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 PS4's Crushing the Competition in Germany by Some Margin
No contest
We know that competition between the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is tight in territories such as the UK and the United States – but in Germany, it's practically non-existent. According to a report by BÖRSE ONLINE, the Japanese giant is outselling its rival by a ratio of more than 4:1 – and despite pricing promotions by Microsoft, the...
News PlayStation Plus Subscribers Suddenly Losing Access to Accounts
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Rest assured: if the PlayStation Network's going to break, Sony will make damned sure that it happens on a Bank Holiday weekend. Don't worry, the service is definitely still online – but a not-so insignificant number of European premium members are reporting this weekend that their PlayStation Plus account on the...

Shattered times
As was the case over the Atlantic, there are a ton of PlayStation 4 titles out to tempt you in this week's European PlayStation Store update. The highlights include Broken Age, Project Root, and Tropico 5 – but honourable mentions must go to late comers Paperbound and Rack N Ruin.

News Shovel Knight Ploughs a Path to EU PlayStation Platforms
Spade in the USA
It may have only been a day overdue, but let's be honest: Shovel Knight shouldn't have been late in the first place. Fortunately, we can all take solace in the news that Yacht Club Games' critically acclaimed side-scroller is finally available in Europe – apparently it managed to break free from SCEE's infamous QA limbo, which...

Tonight's the knight
We're running out of spade-related puns, so let us just say things straight: Shovel Knight is out on the European PlayStation Store this week. There's a fairly healthy roster of software for PlayStation owners to sink their teeth into actually, with LA Cops and Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China also part of the roster. Basement...
Store Update 15th April 2015 (Europe)
Meet your murderer
Consider this a catch-up edition of the weekly European PlayStation Store update. Yes, the likes of Mortal Kombat X may be headlining, but it's long overdue titles such as Costume Quest 2 and Home that caught our eye. Both of these released in North America many months ago, so it's nice to see SCEE finally back up to date. Now,...

Cash back
You like LEGO, right? Of course you do – only Mega Bloks fanboys shun the famous Danish bricks.

A trick and a treat
After spending, oh, just the eight months in SCEE quality assurance hell, Costume Quest 2 is finally ready for, er, Hallowe'en. The game's already available on the PlayStation 3 in Europe, but missed the Holiday of Horrors by some margin on the PlayStation 4. There's no word as to why the game was delayed – maybe it couldn't...
Store Update 8th April 2015 (Europe)
Calm before the carnage
Bastion, Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones, Tower of Guns – it's raining good indie games. There are no retail releases available as part of this week's European PlayStation Store update – well, unless you ignore the PlayStation 3 version of RIDE – but there's enough good stuff elsewhere to tide you over until Mortal...

If you've already got the Platinum Trophy in Bloodborne like our very own Dan Carter (!!!), then you may be looking for a new challenge.

Also up for grabs...

Super mother lode
Another week, another absolutely enormous North American PlayStation Store update.

We want to draw attention to all of the other good stuff on the PlayStation Store this week, but let's be honest: Bloodborne's the one that's going to be getting the majority of you hot under the collar. That's not to say that there's a shortage of content elsewhere, of course, with new Life Is Strange and Game of Thrones episodes out...

Store Update 18th March 2015 (Europe)
Daylight robbery
The cops of Battlefield Hardline should forget about the gang wars and turn their attention to the daylight robbery occurring on the PlayStation Store, as EA's flogging one version of the first-person shooter for £104.99. Even considering the extortionate prices on Sony's online plaza, that seems especially expensive. We think that...

Ayane angry
And so the Dead or Alive 5: Last Round saga lurches on to round three.

What of the PlayStation 3 version, however? Well, that's still in SCEE limbo, according
News PS4 Brawler Dead or Alive 5: Last Round Delayed Until Wednesday on EU PS Store
Slow clap
We suspect that the folks at Koei Tecmo feel like going all Ryu Hayabusa on Sony's ass right now, as Dead or Alive 5: Last Round has been delayed until Wednesday on the European PlayStation Store. While this doesn't sound so bad in isolation, it's worth noting that the title was due out on Friday, but failed to show up on the PlayStation...
News Sony's Sending Free Evolve PS4 Themes to EU PlayStation Plus Members
Level up your device's dashboard
PlayStation Plus more or less pays for itself when you look at the free games that get given away on a monthly basis, but the platform holder regularly sends out the odd surprise to engaged members. This Evolve PlayStation 4 theme that's being distributed in Europe is a nice little extra on top of the Instant Game...
