Ghost Of Yōtei: Legends, The Free Four-Player Co-Op Multiplayer Mode, Goes Live Next Month

Last year, Sucker Punch Productions launched Ghost of Yōtei exclusively on PlayStation 5, with the promise of a free update for its multiplayer Legends mode.

Sony launches a subscription service to lease PlayStation 5 consoles, but you can’t get one

There was a time when getting a new PlayStation console meant something: staring at your bank account, convincing yourself that it is the right decision, swiping your card, and sighing dramatically after stepping out of the shop with the console; it felt like a ritual. However, somehow, the concept of owning something has become so outdated in 2026 that even Sony has decided to provide the PlayStation 5 on a lease or rental program (along with other PlayStation hardware), at least in one of its key markets. A Netflix-style approach to next-gen gaming In the United Kingdom, Sony has partnered…

High On Life 2 is right on time. At a moment in time that seems increasingly bleak, Squanch Games’ latest project has dropped in to let you escape for a bit, laughing like an idiot while you do so.

The Video Games You Should Play This Weekend – February 13

Seven years ago, this would have been my weekly recommendation of what to play – after all, I did put over 1,000 hours into the original Overwatch – but if you told me coming into 2026 that I’d be back into it, I would have laughed at you. But here we are; Overwatch’s recent complete overhaul, which saw the game stripped of the “2” in its title, made me curious enough to jump back in. As a regular player from 2016 to 2019, Overwatch sits near the top of my personal favorite games of all time, but following the announcement…

HP wants you to rent your next gaming laptop

Gaming laptops aren’t getting any cheaper, and HP seems to have decided that fighting rising hardware costs head-on isn’t the answer. Instead, the company is reportedly exploring something different: letting gamers rent their laptops instead of buying them outright. While the service has actually been available for a couple of months, it’s been brought into the notice again owing to the shift in the market. HP seems to be experimenting with subscription-style access to gaming machines, where players pay a monthly fee to use high-end laptops rather than dropping a large upfront sum. The idea is simple on paper. Instead…

Konami Promises ‘Numerous’ New Castlevania Products For 40th Anniversary

An unexpected publisher stepped into the spotlight during yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play presentation. That publisher was Konami, a once-prominent developer and publisher of video games that, in recent years, has come under fire from gamers for largely neglecting its multiple iconic franchises. Yesterday’s State of Play served as a reemergence party of sorts for the publisher, as the company announced multiple projects, including the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. Fans expressed excitement after learning these iconic franchises still have pulses, and today, it would seem Castlevania may not only have a pulse, but…
