Levelling up your trusty group of superheroes in Marvel's Avengers will take much longer than before once the native PlayStation 5 version is released on 18th March 2021.

News Destruction AllStars Outlines Future Plans - Featured Playlists, New Cosmetics, More
The show must go on
Destruction AllStars released on PlayStation Plus at the start of this month, and it's fair to say it's not made a huge dent. The PS5 exclusive multiplayer smash-em-up definitely has some things going for it, but it's not quite hooked the big audience it's aiming for. Of course, developer Lucid Games isn't giving up that easily;...

And they're all free
Spiritfarer launched in August of last year on PlayStation 4, and it's a delightful, relaxing indie game.

News Assassin's Creed Valhalla Will Have 'Stronger and Longer' Post-Launch Support than Odyssey

News Destruction AllStars Update 1.2.3 Is Live Now on PS5, Here Are the Patch Notes
Crash test dummy
Destruction AllStars is a game full of crashes. Most of them are the kind you'd expect, but the PlayStation 5 exclusive has been prone to the odd hiccup here and there.

News Destruction AllStars PS5 Update 1.2.2 Addresses Voice Chat Complaints
That was fast
A common complaint among Destruction AllStars players is about voice chat. When you enter a lobby before a match starts, you're automatically placed into a party chat with your teammates and opponents, much to the chagrin of those not in the mood for a chat. However, developer Lucid Games has responded very quickly, and a game update...

News Latest Worms Rumble Update Finally Adds Team Deathmatch Mode on PS5, PS4
Team time
Worms Rumble was one of our PlayStation Plus games for December, and it's a surprisingly entertaining spin-off. With faster paced action than the traditionally turn-based Worms series, it's a very different experience, but one worth a shot. One criticism we did have about it was a lack of content at launch, but Team 17 has been updating...

News Predator, Terminator the Next Movie Villains to Invade Fortnite
T-800 deploys
If Avengers: Infinity War still thinks it holds the crown for the biggest media crossover ever, it might want to think again because something else is eating its lunch.

News Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Is Now the Best-Selling Game in the Series
Aced it
The Ace Combat series is one that remains fairly niche despite having been around for more than two decades. These arcadey fighter jet action games are beloved by fans for their cheesy stories and fun dogfight gameplay, and the latest iteration is no exception. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown released for PlayStation 4 (with some great...
News Couch Co-Op Game Moving Out Gets Free 'Moving In' Update on PS4 Soon
Shake it all about
Moving Out is a delightful co-op game that hit PlayStation 4 last year. The objective, as the name suggests, is to remove a number of objects from each house and load them into a moving van. Of course, with up to four players and various hazards getting in the way, chaos ensues. It's a lighthearted title that rewards coordinated...

Perfection
Overcooked: All You Can Eat is the PlayStation 5 remaster of the two classic co-op cooking games.

What an achievement
It's fair to say DIRT 5 hasn't had the smoothest ride on PlayStation 5. While it's a super fun arcade racing game, the new-gen version has been suffering from a number of issues.
