Resident Evil Village VR Mode Launches: Dear PlayStation users; It’s fantastic to speak with you again. I’m Kanda, the Capcom producer in charge of Resident Evil Village. Previously, in June 2022, Resident Evil Village VR Mode was introduced.

I’m glad to announce that Resident Evil Village’s new mode will be available as free downloadable content on February 22, 2023. You may download and start playing as soon as your PlayStation VR2 arrives.

With Resident Evil Village VR Mode, you can play the whole main plot of Village on the PlayStation VR2, immersing yourself in every situation Ethan Winters encounters as he sets out to save his stolen daughter.

Playing Resident Evil Village with this DLC will immerse you completely, thanks to the PlayStation VR2. Visually, the eye tracking and vivid visuals of the 4K HDR display (20002040 per eye) provide a heightened illusion of realism that makes it seem like everything you see is genuinely there.

The PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers improve your sense of touch, and 3D audio heightens the realism with audio from every aspect. You can feel the vibration, recoil, and resistance as you interact with real-world items and fire guns while holding one controller in each hand.

The Sense controllers also allow for naturally occurring behaviours like raising your arms to defend yourself and aiming by holding your rifle out in front of you. You can take additional steps to increase immersion.

You are holding two weapons separately, reloading your handgun by inserting a clip and using your knife to perform stabbing or slashing motions. It’s a fascinating experience that transports you right into the perverse reality that Ethan Winters is battling through.

Please be aware that to play this free DLC, you must have Resident Evil Village or Resident Evil Village Gold Edition and that the DLC must be downloaded individually. We hope you will test your mettle with this supreme immersive survival horror experience if you purchase a PlayStation VR2 in February 2023.

Acquisition of Activision Blizzard: According to Microsoft President and Vice Chairman Brad Smith, PlayStation has many more exclusive titles, so the Xbox acquisition of Activision Blizzard is reasonable.

Smith stated at an annual shareholders meeting, as quoted by Bloomberg, that Microsoft will cite Sony’s hegemonic position in the market as one of the justifications for its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which had earlier in December indicated that it would seek to prevent the purchase, will now be challenged by the corporation in court. According to Smith, the FTC’s case is based primarily on the market they have recognized as having only two businesses and two products, Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox.

“Sony holds 70% of the global market, while we own the remaining 30%. Therefore, the judge’s first consideration will be whether the FTC complaint will foster competition or merely serve to shield the biggest competitor from it.”

According to Smith, Xbox only offers 59 exclusive games, compared to PlayStation’s 286. Therefore, the administrative law judge will have to assess whether going from 59 to 60 poses such a threat to competition that he should prevent this from proceeding.

I like that this story breaks out of the reductive "Lina Khan vs. Big Tech" framing. As @leah_nylen makes clear, the push to revive antitrust is about the whole economy— from hospitals to rocket ships to sporting goods. https://t.co/YIlj2oPGer

— Gilad Edelman (@GiladEdelman) December 15, 2022

When the FTC declared on December 8 that it intended to halt the acquisition, it claimed that Xbox would “gain control of top video game franchises” and thus “harm competition in high-performance gaming consoles and subscription services by denying or degrading rivals’ access to its popular content.”

The European Commission and the UK’s Competitions and Market Authority have opened investigations into the transaction, showing that the FTC is not the only government agency that has expressed worry about it.

The Witcher 3: The next-gen updates for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S have been scheduled for release by CD Projekt Red. The Witcher 3 has been around for well over seven years, but due to CD Projekt Red’s long-term commitment to Cyberpunk 2077, a next-generation update for The Witcher 3 was placed on hold.

But that will soon change with the release of The Witcher 3 for PS4 and Xbox Series X/S on December 13/14. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will receive a significant update on the next generation consoles.

It begins with substantial visual upgrades and fresh graphical additions, many of which are taken from well-liked mods made available over the years. The gameplay of The Witcher 3 will be significantly altered by these mods thanks to changes in balance and quality of life.

Additionally, there is a new questline, prizes for watching The Witcher on Netflix, as well as other bug fixes. A few surprises are also promised by CDPR. Depending on the platform they are using, people will be able to receive the next-generation update for The Witcher 3 at different times.

The update will be made available on PlayStation on December 14 at midnight local time. The update will be made available for PC and Xbox on December 14 at midnight GMT. That implies that the PC and Xbox upgrade will be released earlier in the United States.

It does so specifically on December 13 at 4:00 PM PT/7:00 PM PT. The focus of the upcoming The Witcher 3 update is undoubtedly on next-generation platforms, but it is not limited to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

— Radek 🕹️ GDC (@gamebowski) December 12, 2022

Everyone will be able to access the update on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One as well. Additionally, everyone who already owns the game can download the update for free. The PS4 and Xbox One will not receive the visual upgrades and graphical options, but they will receive gameplay modifications, bug patches, and Netflix content.

It has taken a while for The Witcher 3 update to arrive. The update, which was being developed by Saber Interactive, was scheduled to go live in 2021. Although that is a tale in and of itself, CD Projekt Red finally took up development.

Here's a couple of FREE things in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt:

1. Pang of Conscience (a Relic silver sword found near Kaer Morhen)
2. A band of fighters led by Olgierd von Everec (Redanian Free Company)
3. 16 DLCs
4. The Next-gen update (for all owners of the game) pic.twitter.com/VNXOS3C0kw

— The Witcher (@thewitcher) December 10, 2022

Due to this, the upgrade was put off until 2022; now, a year later, it is almost complete. Both The Witcher enthusiasts and new players will get a fantastic chance to play the game for the first time at this event.

Older lovers can enjoy The Witcher 3 in a brand-new form that is more refined than before. The Witcher is available to new gamers in what is perhaps its best iteration, ready for their fancy next-gen consoles.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next-gen update patch notes should be dropping very soon.👀

The fact that The Witcher 3 is a fantastic game, update or not, is what matters. Simply put, this is a fantastic justification to replay it. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is currently available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. Versions for the PS5 and Xbox Series X will be released on December 14.

You may already be aware that access to Nintendo Switch Online’s collection of N64 titles is only available to premium customers.

Likewise, free player icons are exclusively given out to Expansion Pack subscribers each week. The latter is what subscribers have received today, and much to many people’s surprise, the icons feature an N64 feel.

Eight new icons, to be exact, have been made available. Particular to the console and its well-known controller are two of these icons. Then there are two icons for Yoshi Story, two for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and two for F-Zero X.

Platinum Points may be used to purchase any of these icons, but Expansion Pack ownership is required. Additionally, they are only accessible for one week.

Once redeemed, they are yours to keep, but you only have a week to do so because the following week, a new set of icons will be introduced, which may have different themes or relate to different games, consoles, series, or other things.

Gran Turismo 7 Update Brings New Cars: The upcoming update for Gran Turismo 7 will release the most vehicles of any update in the game’s history during the week of December 12, 2022.

The update, which we’re going to proviso call 1.27, will feature five new vehicles to the game and was announced by Kazunori Yamauchi, the developer of the Gran Turismo series, in the customary form of a social media post with masked, silhouette-style photographs of the automobile content.

It will arrive on an as-yet-unspecified date during the week, but given that Thursdays have seen the majority of updates thus far, we would anticipate it to arrive on December 15 in the morning. This conveniently matches up with a previous date provided for one of the five cars involved.

The most obvious of the five vehicles is the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo, which is the vehicle in the image’s center. This was announced during the most recent World Finals competition in Monaco, and while it will be included in the game in this update, most players won’t be able to access it until about a week after it has been made.

On December 15, the Ferrari will be given to the contestant who properly answers the fourth and final question about the Nations Cup Grand Final during the World Finals live stream. Those who didn’t will need to buy it with in-game currency or wait until it’s unlocked in the Brand Central of the game.

There is some debate regarding the remaining four vehicles, but it appears that three highly anticipated new series models and one perennial favorite are included. The automobile at the top-right of the image, which is the last item, is equipped with the Toyota Celica ST205 rally car’s wing, hood vent, and roof scoop.

Update is coming next week.

This is a welcome return as it has been a fixture of the series since GT3 but bypassed GT Sport. It will presumably fall into the Gr.B category. The Bugatti Chiron, a vehicle that has been long delayed in Gran Turismo, appears to be the vehicle in the bottom-right corner.

The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo, which made its debut in Gran Turismo Sport in 2017 after being unveiled in 2015, actually served as a preview for the Chiron, which was once the fastest automobile in the world.

More speculation is needed for the final two automobiles, but it appears that the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm is at the bottom-left. One of the fastest four doors available, this high-performance variant of the already speedy Giulia Quadrifoglio increases power and decreases weight to the point where the rear seats are eliminated.

Gran Turismo 7 update -available now- brings three new cars:

✅ Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 ’84
✅ Maserati A6GCS/53 Spyder ’54
✅ Porsche 918 Spyder ’13#PS5 #PS4

Strangely, a new car from the recently founded Stellantis family will make such a rare appearance in any racing game anyplace. The automobile may be seen in the top-left corner. Numerous mid-engined supercars could fit the design, but we believe it to be the much anticipated C8-generation Chevrolet Corvette.

The C8 has been noticeably absent from GT7 compared to other racing games, therefore its inclusion is quite welcome. Of course, the teaser post, as usual, merely shows off the new vehicle content that will be included in the game.

There is currently no information available on further track content or features that might be included, however, observant players may have noticed two placeholder names for two extra Nurburgring location layouts added to the game’s Showcase area: “endurance” and “sprint.”

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC Announced: The official release of DLC for Horizon Forbidden West was announced by the game’s creator, Guerrilla Games, in a teaser at The Game Awards.

However, only PlayStation 5 will receive it. The Burning Shores DLC will transport Aloy to Los Angeles on April 19, 2023, where the Hollywood sign will be on display (and immediately destroyed by a giant robot).

Guerrilla stated in a blog post on the PlayStation website that “to fulfill this broad vision technically and creatively, we’ve made the difficult decision to focus all our efforts on creating an extraordinary experience solely for the PlayStation®5 console.”

In that post, it was claimed that the LA region had turned into a volcanic archipelago and that the DLC had Aloy on the hunt for a “sinister menace.” She will be visiting a perilous new area south of the Tenakth Clan Lands, which will include new characters, experiences, and more along with a riveting plot that picks off where Horizon Forbidden West left off.

The long-awaited Horizon: Zero Dawn sequel, Forbidden West, saw the return of Alloy as she journeyed through, well, the forbidden west, which included run-down replicas of places like Las Vegas and San Francisco.

The Frozen Wilds DLC for Zero Dawn was released in November 2017, and the sequel, due out in February 2022, will follow suit by receiving a significant expansion.

Among Us Announces New Hide And Seek Mode: At The Game Awards 2022 on Thursday, creator Innersloth revealed that the well-liked Mafia-style game Among Us would get a brand-new game mode called Hide n’ Seek. Friday is when the new mode is expected to become live.

It is evident from a clip promoting the new mode that it is modeled around the kid-friendly classic hide-and-seek. It appears that the searchers will be engaging in a lot of chasing and murder, and the action moves quickly.

It features silly animations in keeping with the Among Us aesthetic; in the video, we can see the seeker running around while its tongue is moving. Although there are few specifics about the mode, it appears that while pursuing the defenseless Crewmates, the Seekers would try murder.

The new mode seems to alter the Among Us formula in a few different ways. Specifically, unlike in the usual mode, the Crewmates can now use the ship’s vents to flee from the Seekers. The primary roles in the classic Among Us mode are Crewmate or Impostor.

It is a werewolf-style game. Crewmates must complete tasks and conduct investigations to determine who is impersonating a secret killer known as an Impostor. In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the game went viral.

PS4 Players Slam PlayStation: Following a contentious PlayStation decision that surfaced this week, many PS4 players are currently not very happy with the company. The PS5 is entering its third year on the market as 2023 draws near.

Many predicted that PS4 support would be almost nonexistent by this stage, yet this hasn’t happened. The PS4 continues to receive a steady stream of titles, as do the PS3 and PS4. For instance, God of War Ragnarok recently launched on PS4 and PS5. Horizon Forbidden West did the same earlier this year.

The latter is what is at the center of the debate. Horizon Forbidden West will receive the Burning Shores addition on April 9, 2023. The expansion will only be available on PS5, as opposed to the base game, which was published earlier this year on PS4 and PS5. Why?

In any case, Guerilla Games doesn’t offer much beyond a general statement that the company “made the difficult decision to focus all resources on developing an outstanding experience only for the PlayStation 5 console” due to the “grand vision” of the game.

As you can anticipate, the news and justification haven’t impressed many PlayStation aficionados. Hopefully, the individuals who say that Burning Shores on the PS5 is “how it should be” are joking. I could understand if the MAIN game was exclusive to the PS5.

However, Horizon Forbidden West is also playable on the PS4, therefore it was a mistake to make the DLC a PS5 exclusive, according to a Twitter user. “Wtf? this is just not okay.” Another Twitter user states, “Horizon Forbidden West is my Game of the Year.”

“It is upsetting to see that Burning Shores DLC would only be available on the PS5 since the main game was available on both the PS4 and PS5. Some individuals just cannot afford a PS5. Denying those who played on one console the opportunity to play the DLC is a terrific way to make money.

It’s difficult to believe a PS4 can’t run the DLC. In actuality, it probably can. But it might not be worth the trouble to obtain it on PS4, at least that’s the conclusion that PlayStation and Guerrilla Games probably came to after examining PS4 sales data for the game and contrasting it with the costs of getting the DLC on the system.

Having said that, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment and let us know what you think. Was Sony’s choice to do this the right one?
