God of War was unquestionably one of the best games released in 2018, if not the best. When fans heard that Sony was rebooting the God of War franchise years ago, many probably thought that it was just a cynical cash grab. When the game released in April of last year, though, it became clear that it was a game that was made with a lot of care and attention to detail. If you've ever wondered what goes into making a game on the scale of God of War, now's your chance to find out.

For the past couple of years, Sony has hosted a sales event called "Days of Play" around the time that E3 kicks off.

EA Access is a service that has been available on Xbox One for a number of years now - nearly five, to be a little more precise. All this time, PlayStation 4 owners have been left out in the cold. When EA was first launching the subscription service, Sony decided against allowing it on PS4, noting that it didn't think it offered enough value to PS4 owners.

If you looked at the calendar today and wondered where the announcements of May's PlayStation Plus titles were, you're definitely not alone there.

Despite the fact that we're now more than three years out from release, Stardew Valley is still going strong. Earlier this year, the game finally made its way to Android, meaning that it's now available on every modern platform out there. Last year, starting with PC and then Nintendo Switch, Stardew Valley developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone started releasing the game's version 1.3 update, which among other things added multiplayer functionality.

At this point, it's probably safe to say that PlayStation Classic has flopped. The idea behind it was solid enough, as there's definitely a nostalgia-fueled demand for retro consoles like this, but when the PlayStation Classic released, it became clear that Sony's execution was at least a little off. What followed this realization were a series of price cuts that ultimately saw many retailers offering the PlayStation Classic at half (or even more) off its original retail price of $100.

Sony delivered its financial results for the 2018 fiscal year today, and its gaming arm is still leading the charge in terms of success. Though PS4 sales dropped a little bit year-over-year, Sony still managed to sell 17.8 million units throughout the fiscal year as a whole. It made only 2.6 million of those sales in the final quarter of the year (January 1st, 2019 to March 31st), which is traditionally a slow time for the games industry.

After quite a long wait, Sony has announced that online ID changes for PlayStation Network are going live later today. Once this feature launches, you'll be able to change your PSN ID to whatever you wish (assuming of course that it doesn't violate PSN's rules).

Refunds are a tricky thing when it comes to digital games, and today, we see Sony attempting to navigate just that problem by silently updating its refund policy for the PlayStation Store. The good news is that full digital games, DLC, themes, avatars, and season passes all come with a 14-day return policy. The bad news, however, is that there are some fairly restrictive requirements when it comes to refund eligibility.

After a long, long wait, Gearbox has finally confirmed Borderlands 3, and while that was the main attraction during the company's PAX East keynote, it also gave some love to the previous titles in the series. The original Borderlands is also being updated for modern platforms, while Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will both be getting a fresh coast of paint through an upgrade to The Handsome Collection.
