You couldn’t ask for better conditions to launch a new video game console in. Thanks to the perfect storm of sheer awfulness outside, people are spending a lot more time indoors and staving off their boredom with video games. Hardware and software sales have increased tremendously as a result of this, and Sony reckons it’ll be in prime position to shift a lot of its PS5 consoles come launch day.

Anthem’s not dead yet! Easily the biggest flop in Bioware’s long history, the massively-hyped Anthem was all style and no real substance when it launched back in February 2019. Since then, it has been bled dry of players, gone back to the drawing board, and has had a small team of dedicated developers assigned to it while Bioware’s top brass forgot to look up the definition of sunk-cost fallacy.

PlayStation Plus for November is officially kicking off with its first PlayStation 5 game. Everyone’s been talking about Bugsnax ever since that game debuted with a delightfully weird trailer and a catchy tune by the band Kero Kero Bonito, and if you were scared that the delightfully odd-looking experience would be buried underneath higher-profile releases, good news!

Watch Dogs: Legion is a fascinating game, massively ambitious and crawling with technology that isn’t just on the bleeding edge of what’s possible, it’s pure magic to see unfold. All of that may sound impressive but slick software and a bustling metropolis of people power can’t hide the dull gameplay and shallow approach to the sandbox shenanigans of Watch Dogs: Legion. It’s still a fascinating game to experience in short bursts, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how Ubisoft evolves London to make it vox pop as a next-gen headliner.

Uldren’s story is hinted at in the latest Destiny 2 ViDoc, which details just how important Beyond Light is to the overall narrative of Destiny 2. The first chapter in a trilogy of stories according to the developer, Beyond Light is adding a lot of content to Destiny 2, now that many of its older activities are being sealed away in the Destiny Vault.

Nature is healing. PlayStation 5 consoles now roam the land, nesting in the homes of many a games journalist and influencer as the great unboxing exodus begins. Seen every few years in the wild, these new consoles are the advance scouts for the primary herd of next-gen devices which will soon establish hunting dens in homes around the world, provided that this new beast can fit into the TV units that they prefer to raise their DualSense controller cubs in.

In what’s going to be devastating news to fans and WONDERFUL for game journos dreading November, Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed again. Again. Again.

Corsair has hit the nail on the head with the HS75 XB headset. Its minor imperfections are easily ignored thanks to the headset excelling where it matters: Rock-solid audio, precision portable percussion, and a stupidly easy to setup configuration that’s all wrapped up in a product that feels like a premium step-up.
