According to Dealabs (via Insider Gaming), Silent Hill 2 will arrive on PS Plus Extra on October 21, "barring any last-minute surprises." This has yet to be confirmed by Sony, but if true, it would bring the game to the service just in time for Halloween.

This story features spoilers for early Hades 2 content.
When Darnedrat first logged into Hades 2 after its official 1.0 launch, their screen filled with achievement pop-ups. The Steam chime went off again and again--like sweet music--until the sheer flood of unlocks caused the game to crash.
“My game literally crashed when they all started rolling in,” they wrote in a comment on Reddit. “It was the most successful moment of a game breaking ever for me.”
That moment summed up the...

Seen below, the Battlefield 6 launch trailer is all about showing off large-scale warfare. We see buildings getting blown up, aerial combat, and tanks rolling around. The action has a rendition of...

The Haunting, which is the annual Call of Duty Halloween event, begins on October 9. A promo image for the event reveals a few things, including the return of The Predator and the fan-favorite MP40 gun. A new trailer also revealed that spooky legends Chucky and Jason Voorhees are coming as well...
While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is adding wall-jumping to players' repertoire of advanced movement options, developer Treyarch isn't taking a page from its 2015 futuristic title Black Ops 3 by incorporating wall-running or Thrust Jumps for one simple reason: It's too early for that.
Speaking to GamesRadar, Treyarch associate creative director Miles Leslie reiterated that Black Ops 7, which takes place in the year 2035, is more of a direct follow-up to 2012's Black Ops 2, which took place in...
If you're looking for an epic adventure to get you through the cold months ahead, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on Switch fits the bill. While it's not as sweeping in scale as Tears of the Kingdom or Breath of the Wild, it'll still take a solid 40 hours to complete (and much longer if you want to unlock all its secrets). Best of all, the hit game is down to just $40 (was $60) for Prime Big Deal Days. This is by far the lowest price of the year, and it's close to its lowest price ever...

Poncle revealed the new online co-op mode for Vampire Survivors on YouTube. The trailer--seen below--shows how players can either create or join a lobby, with an ID number seemingly utilized to group up. It's unclear whether there will be cross-play at this time. "Free...
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is celebrating its 15-year anniversary today, October 7, 2025. Below, we look back at Sega's uneven attempt to revive the classic 2D franchise, and how it ultimately fizzled.
There's no denying the glaring flaws of Sonic the Hedgehog 4--the wonky physics, the blatant remixing (or one might even say "rehashing") of classic levels and bosses from the first two Sonic games, and the soundtrack's questionable and often derided soundfont being chief among them. But despite...
Since the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage in 2023, Ubisoft has added a New Game+ mode, a parkour update, a permadeath mode, and a PS5 Pro patch. But all of that pales to the amount of content coming next month when Ubisoft launches the free DLC expansion, Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory.
Ubisoft announced the expansion to celebrate the second anniversary of the game. During the Valley of Memory reveal stream, it was disclosed that this DLC will add around six hours of gameplay...
Nintendo has fleetingly dropped some bombshell announcements on its Nintendo Today app, but the most recent drop is a real head-scratcher.
The gaming company shared a video on the app simply titled "Close to You," also uploading it on YouTube shortly after. Comments are turned off on YouTube, and the video description simply repeats the video title.
The animated video runs for almost four minutes and doesn't explicitly tie into any video game announcement; instead, it's a cute short film...
Battlefield 6's release on October 10 is coming up soon, and ahead of that, developer Battlefield Studios has announced the game's beefy day-one patch and teased naval warfare may be coming.
The game's day-one patch will have more than 200 changes, including bug fixes, balance improvements, and polish. The developer will publish the full patch notes later, but for now, the company released highlights, including that player movement will feel "more responsive" and that recoil has been...
Activision has announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer beta has been extended by 24 hours, meaning it now wraps up on October 9 instead of October 8. That also means the beta is ending just before EA's Battlefield 6 launches on October 10 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET.
The Black Ops 7 beta now officially concludes on Thursday, October 9 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET.
For the final few days of the beta, Activision has added a new map, Toshin, which is the sixth map available in the test...
Haunted Chocolatier is the next game from ConcernedApe, the developer behind the massive indie farming sim, Stardew Valley. This has made Haunted Chocolatier highly anticipated, although little information about the game has been shared, beyond making it clear that it's a game where you move to a new town and take over a chocolate shop. ConcernedApe has said that it will share gameplay elements with Stardew Valley, but will be more of an action-RPG compared to Stardew Valley.
When will...
Battlefield veteran David Goldfarb's studio, The Outsiders, is closing down, but Goldfarb and the team are "not giving up."
In a statement, Goldfarb said The Outsider is shutting up shop as part of wider cuts at studio owner Funcom. The Outsiders, which was founded in 2015, had a close call at closing up shop when the studio's other game, Darkborn, was canceled in 2020, Goldfarb said. After that game didn't make it, Funcom took a majority ownership of The Outsiders. The studio then released...
