Assassin's Creed Valhalla is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the holiday season, and given the fact that it's launching alongside next-gen consoles, it could wind up being one of the biggest next-gen launch titles. Today, Ubisoft published a deep dive into Valhalla, giving us a rather lengthy look at the game and an idea of what to expect.
Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have announced the Apex Legends Championship Edition, a new version of the free-to-play battle royale title that comes with an upfront cost of $39.99. As you'd imagine, the Championship Edition comes with a number of bonuses, and it seems geared around getting newcomers to the game up and running quickly.
Sony today is rolling out system update 8.00 for PlayStation 4, and though it doesn't bring any major changes along with it, it does bring a lot of little quality of life ones. For starters, the update integrates the Party and Messages app so that the two share the same groups; now, it seems, you'll be able to send messages or begin Party chats with groups of players your previously interacted with across both apps.
Previous leaks suggested it, but now it's been confirmed: Fall Guys is getting a Sonic the Hedgehog skin. The collaboration between Fall Guys developer Mediatonic and Sega was announced today during a Fall Guys livestream.

PUBG Season 9 is almost here, and it seems the developers have something big lined up for it. PUBG Season 9 will introduce a new map called Paramo, and while there aren't very many details about it yet, it's looking like the map will be unlike any other map PUBG has seen thus far. For starters, PUBG Corp is saying that the map comes with a "dynamic landscape," which suggests that it'll change from game to game.
Earlier today, Sony gave us some in-depth details about PlayStation 5 backward compatibility. The company announced the very short list of which PS4 games won't be playable on PS5, along with confirming which PS4 accessories would work with new hardware. As it turns out, backward compatibility isn't the only way you'll be able to play PS4 games on PlayStation 5.
While Microsoft has seemingly been talking about backward compatibility at every opportunity, Sony has been more reserved about it as it concerns the PlayStation 5. In the past, Sony has said that 99% of PlayStation 4 games will be playable on PlayStation 5, but what does that really mean? Sony has shared new details about PS5 backward compatibility, finally giving us an idea of how many PS4 games won't be playable on PlayStation 5.
Ahead of the PlayStation 5's launch next month, Sony is reportedly making some big changes to the way the PlayStation Store works. Apparently, the company has been sending out emails to developers saying that later this month, games for the PlayStation 3, PSP, and PlayStation Vita will be inaccessible through the PlayStation Store for web and mobile. Just as well, it seems PlayStation 4 apps, themes, and avatars are leaving the web and mobile implementations of the store as well.
After a long wait, Fall Guys Season 2 is officially here. The update went live this morning, and we've finally got patch notes describing everything that's changed. In typical Fall Guys fashion, the patch notes were fairly brief, but the changes that were detailed seem pretty big nevertheless.
This morning Mortal Kombat got its first title for the next generation consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The game isn't strictly new - it's called Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, "a new expanded version of Mortal Kombat 11." Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate includes the base game Mortal Kombat 11, Kombat Pack 1, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Expansion, and the new Kombat Pack 2.
Anyone who has played Fall Guys knows that it's a very hectic game, but by this point, most regular players already know the courses that are in the game front to back. Season 2, which launches later this week, promises to change that - not only by tweaking existing courses, but also by adding entirely new ones. Today, we're getting our first look at one of those courses, and it looks even more ridiculous than what Fall Guys players are already used to.
