Last week, CD Projekt Red delivered patch 1.1 for Cyberpunk 2077. This was the first of two promised major patches for Cyberpunk, with the second slated to arrive sometime in February. While update 1.1 delivered a lot of good changes, it also introduced some new issues to the game - specifically a save bug that prevented people from interacting with NPCs, which is a big headache.
We're quickly closing in on a new month, which means a new batch of PlayStation Plus games are on the horizon. February is actually a bigger deal than most months are for PlayStation Plus, because February will feature a game that was originally supposed to be a launch title for the PlayStation 5. As previously promised by Sony, Destruction AllStars will be leading the pack next month, so PlayStation 5 owners will definitely want to claim it once it goes live on PlayStation Plus.
As promised, Capcom revealed new information about Resident Evil Village this week, including the platforms that the game will be available on and when it will release. We also got a look at Resident Evil Village through a new, spooky trailer. If you're interested in getting a taste of Resident Evil Village, there's even a new demo you can download and try out, but unfortunately, it's exclusive to just one platform.
After weeks of teases, the Predator has arrived in Fortnite. Oftentimes, crossover skins like this need to be purchased from the shop, but that isn't the case with Predator. Instead, players who have the battle pass for Chapter 2, Season 5 can unlock the skin by completing a series of challenges. These challenges have been slowly unlocking over the past few weeks, culminating with a new challenge today that will have you going toe-to-toe with the Predator himself.
If you've read or watched anything concerning Cyberpunk 2077 since the game launched last month, chances are you've heard of the litany of problems the game has, particularly on previous-generation consoles. The state of the game prompted a rarely-seen response from Sony in which it delisted the game from the PlayStation Store and, along with Microsoft, started offering refunds to anyone who wanted them. It's been just over a month since Cyberpunk 2077 launched, and now CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński has released a statement detailing what went wrong with the game.
Throughout the past year, there's been no shortage of game delays. These delays have included high profile titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Halo Infinite, and now it seems we have one more game to add to the very long list: Hogwarts Legacy. The Harry Potter-themed role playing game was first confirmed back in September, and now it appears that it won't be here as soon as anticipated.
Fortnite received a new update today, and it seems to set the stage for the arrival of a new hunter. As leaks have suggested, it looks like the next Fortnite crossover will be with the Predator franchise, with a number of Predator-themed cosmetics already in the game. The good news is that this Predator skin will be free to those who owns the Chapter 2, Season 5 battle pass - provided, of course, that those battle pass owners complete the challenges required to unlock the skin.
Back at the beginning December, Fall Guys developer Mediatonic started teasing a new crossover with DOOM. While at first we thought this DOOM crossover was right around the corner, Mediatonic went silent on it as it turned its attention toward launching Season 3 and kicking off holiday events for Fall Guys. Fast forward to today and we've received confirmation that the DOOM crossover is finally happening, with Mediatonic revealing three DOOM-themed costumes that will be available.
Earlier today, rumors about PS4 production in Japan began circulating, claiming that Sony had discontinued production on the vast majority of PS4 models in its home country. Now, it seems, we have confirmation that Sony has indeed made such a decision, as the company has updated its own website to reflect the changes. While the PlayStation 4 won't be going away entirely, it does look like the PS4 product lineup will be pared back significantly.
The PlayStation 4 has had a good, long run. First launched in 2013, Sony's previous-gen console has undergone a few minor iterations and at least two variants under its name. With the launch of the PlayStation 5, disastrous as it may have been, the clock has started ticking for the PS4. According to at least one retailer in Sony's home country, the console's time has finally come and will longer be restocked once supplies run out, at least for certain models.
January is right around the corner, and that means we're about the get the first batch of PlayStation Plus games for 2021. PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting three games for the month of January, with two on the way for PlayStation 4 and one that's exclusive to PlayStation 5 users. If you're one of the few PlayStation 5 owners out there at the moment, you should be able to claim and play all three games next month.
Christmas Day is tomorrow, and we're guessing that more than a few kids (and adults) will have a new gaming console of some sort under the tree. Regardless of if you're gifting a last-gen console like a PS4 or Xbox One, you're opting for a Nintendo Switch, or you lucked out big time and got your hands on an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 despite the stock shortages, there's one thing you should do before you gift any of them: Take them out of the box and update them first.
