April’s looking to be a solid month! The next 30 days on the calendar feature People Can Fly’s space-hobos with powers aka Outriders taking to the stage, and that tough act will be followed by several midcard games. Star Wars Republic Commando will be yelling vowels at you through its revamped main menu, Cozy Grove looks charming, and JRPG fans have plenty to look forward to when SaGa Frontier Remastered and Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack arrives.

Cyberpunk 2077’s launch last year was something that experts would call “less than ideal”, with years of promotional build-up dropping the ball harder than an amateur juggler being tossed a live chainsaw during a circus act. Developer CD Projekt Red is looking to avoid a cock-up of that magnitude in the future, as the company’s strategy for future game releases is to spend less time on hype.

Final Fantasy is about as Japanese as Yakitori, karaoke, and knowing full well that tentacles don’t belong in animated series. Fans of the franchise over in Japan recently voted for their favourite games and characters in the franchise, and guess what? Final Fantasy X came out on top.

The latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 finally mutes that annoying AI whenever you get near one of his pilfered taxis.

YouTuber DIY Perks got their hands on the wonderfully symmetrical PS5 Digital Edition (the one that comes wothout a disc drive baby bump) and set to work removing the boring plastic bits, replacing them with a more exotic material: Brass.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

Developer People Can Fly wants you to have fun, but it also wants you to earn that fun. If you’re thinking about loading up some cheats in Outriders, you might want to think twice lest you find your game branded as the no-good shortcut-takin’ varmint that it is.

The first quarter of this year has been relatively dry on the big blockbuster side of gaming, but that drought is getting some much-needed AAA rainfall next week! People Can Fly’s very grim and somehow also very silly Outriders arrives on April 1, and as you’d expect, you’ll really want to have your internet connection ready to rock and possibly roll on launch day.
