A digital listing for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been spotted, notably on Xbox. The listing, from Loaded (formerly CD Keys), features a price of £89.99 for the standard version, which would likely equate to $99.99. It also lists a PC version on the Rockstar Games Launcher at £60.99. These prices are likely placeholder figures, especially since Rockstar has yet to confirm a PC version of the upcoming game. As such, the prices should be taken with caution. However, with prices being a long-standing topic of debate among players, and many predicting that GTA 6 could be one of the most expensive games ever, it’s possible the final price may approach $100.
In its recent Q3 earnings results, Take-Two Interactive Software confirmed that marketing for Grand Theft Auto 6 will begin this summer. This suggests the game remains on track for its November 19 release date, though it does not guarantee it. “Our execution throughout fiscal 2026 has been extraordinary and we are highly confident as we approach fiscal 2027—which promises to be groundbreaking for Take-Two and the entire entertainment industry—led by the November 19 release of Grand Theft Auto VI with Rockstar’s launch marketing set to begin this summer,” Take-Two Interactive Software said in a press release sent to IGN. In the same IGN report, Take-Two Interactive Software CEO Strauss Zelnick said he felt “very good” about the game’s planned release and denied rumors of a delay to the physical edition.
According to dataminer and user TheMorse_ on the official God of War Ragnarok subreddit, several hidden cutscenes have been discovered in the game’s files. The cutscenes are reportedly similar to hidden scenes in God of War 2018 that later served as the opening to God of War Ragnarok. One of the alleged cutscenes features “beings from the higher plane,” including Athena, in conversation with Odin and Atreus. Another reportedly shows Atreus traveling to meet beings from other dimensions and encountering a figure known as “Mau,” said to be the Egyptian word for cat and described as a manifestation of the sun god Ra. While proof was shared via a link in the post and several rumors have suggested that an Egyptian-themed entry in the series is in development, these details have not been confirmed by Sony or Santa Monica Studio.
In a recent discussion with Twitch streamer Fuhpuzy on a recent livestream, Kratos voice actor Christopher Judge seemingly revealed more details about upcoming God of War projects. He confirmed that the next God of War trilogy will see TC Carson reprise his role as Kratos. He also teased that an upcoming God of War project, likely the rumored next title from Cory Barlog, will be announced in late summer.
“No, well, it’s going to be TC,” Judge said when asked if he would be reprising the role for the remake. He added that the trilogy will not undergo a reboot. Instead, it will use “new technology” and include “more stuff,” as well as a “new fighting system.” When asked about when he would return to the role of Kratos, Judge said, “Then you’ll be hearing about what we’re doing probably late summer.”
In a recent episode of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, Tom Henderson claimed that the rumored upcoming installment in the God of War franchise will include a scythe, similar to previous games in the series. “There is a scythe in the game as well.” “It’s interesting. It’s always cool listening to all these rumblings and seeing what actually comes to fruition,” he said. He also noted that while the game was previously rumored to have an Egyptian setting, the next title might take the series back to Greece.
Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Santa Monica Studio recently announced God of War Trilogy Remake, a remake of God of War, God of War II, and God of War III. A release date has not been announced, but the title will launch for PlayStation 5.
In a recent interview with Variety, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot revealed that two Far Cry games are currently in development, despite recent restructuring at the company and several canceled and delayed titles. He also confirmed that multiple Assassin’s Creed games are in development.
The two Far Cry projects, previously reported on, are codenamed “Blackbird” and “Maverick.” Blackbird is reportedly the next mainline entry in the series, while Maverick is described as an extraction shooter-style title. Both games have reportedly undergone multiple internal delays and changes. Guillemot added that several Assassin’s Creed titles offering both multiplayer and single-player experiences are in development.
According to a recent Insider Gaming report, which cites anonymous sources, three projects are currently “locked in” at the studio: Invictus, a multiplayer title; Obsidian, a remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag scheduled to release later this year; and a third game codenamed Neo, also known as Hexe, which is now slated for release in 2027.
In a report from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson last year, several details for multiple of Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed titles were revealed. The report claims that the upcoming title Assassin’s Creed Hexe, will be a linear title with some open world elements. It will allegedly launch at the end of the Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ post launch content plans which has around two years of DLC support. It will also receive one year of DLC support. According to past reports, the game won’t be an RPG and will have players control a Witch named Elsa. It’s worth noting these are all rumours and should be taken with a grain of salt.
After all, this year is the 25th anniversary of Xbox, and it has four major titles coming up, so why now? According to Kinda Funny Games’ Greg Miller, who was recently “passed something,” Spencer’s retirement was allegedly not planned. “If you trust us, what I’m saying is this was not planned,” he added.
If true, what would motivate Spencer and Bond to bow out? It probably isn’t a coincidence that Sharma, former President of CoreAI at Microsoft, is his replacement, given the company’s growing investment in AI over the years. However, as noted by Tim Gettys, the farewell to Spencer could have been at something major like Summer Game Fest or even Halo’s anniversary.
It would have also made more sense if he announced that this would be his final year and then left before 2027 began. Instead, it’s this abrupt announcement that no one really saw coming.
If there’s any silver lining, it’s that the recent organizational changes at Microsoft won’t affect its game studios, according to Matt Booty, recently promoted to Chief Content Officer. And with games like Forza Horizon 6, Fable, Halo: Campaign Evolved and Gears of War: E-Day, Xbox could be looking at its best year to date. Ironic then, that it’s going to be without the man who brought them to the dance.
One of the PlayStation 4’s best role-playing games of all time got some huge news today, with Square Enix revealing that a Game of the Year-winning RPG would be back.
What RPG will be returning with a PS5 sequel?
During a video celebrating the fact that it has officially hit 10 million worldwide sales, Square Enix announced that the world of Nier Automata would be continuing. The announcement briefly appeared at the end of Square Enix’s video, which marked a huge milestone for Nier Automata. Yoko Taro’s game took PlayStation Lifestyle’s top Game of the Year spot in 2017.
Fans were quick to theorize that a sequel to the hit game could be in the works. However, it’s currently unclear exactly what Square Enix means. Automata originally released almost 10 years ago, and followed the story of combat android 2B, scanner android 9S, and rogue prototype A2. The game was praised for its combination of a litany of styles, including RPG elements, hack-and-slash combat, shoot ’em up and text adventure sections, and more.
Despite the lack of confirmation, fans were quick to begin speculating what exactly the message of a continued story could mean. Geoff Keighley didn’t help matters, as he cryptically also shared the still from the end of the video on his X account. As for any reports on the matter, there were rumors that many of Nier: Automata’s developers were working on something, but it’s unclear exactly what that is, or when we’ll see it.
The latest game in a long-running series, which began on the PS2, currently costs next to nothing on the PS Store. This doesn’t look like a mistake, but 2017 PS4 action demolition derby/racing game Flatout 4: Total Insanityis going as low as $0.44 for a limited time. The game is playable on PS5.
2017 game Flatout 4 is under $1 on PS Store for a limited time
PS Plus members have until February 26 to buy Flatout 4 for $0.44. Those without a subscription have to pay $0.67. Either way, the game is under a dollar for everyone and is worth checking out at this price.
For the uninitiated, Flatout first launched on the PS2 in 2004 and went on to spawn seven more games, with a VR title currently in production for PSVR2/PS5. One of the games — Flatout: Head On — was a PSP exclusive. Meanwhile, 2007’s Flatout: Ultimate Carnage was an Xbox 360 console exclusive.
Flatout 4 received mixed reviews, and the series hasn’t seen a new entry since. But that’s set to change with the VR game that’s yet to be dated.
The IP is currently owned by Canadian publisher Strategy First Inc. after changing hands numerous times over the last two decades.
A new leak suggests that Santa Monica Studio may already have set the stage for the next God of War game’s story, which we expect to be a PS5 and PS6 title. A determined dataminer, who previously found God of War Ragnarok‘s beginning in the 2018 game‘s PC files, now claims to have found post Ragnarok hidden dialogue that sounds like it’s part of the next game.
Could this be the next God of War PS5, PS6 game’s story? (Potential spoilers)
The leaker in question, Reddit user TheMorse_, has provided screenshots of strings containing the aforementioned dialogue as well as copies of the text files containing all the strings within which the dialogue was found.
Unless this is a very, very elaborate hoax, the leak might be legit. But still, take everything with a grain of salt, and if you’re worried about spoilers, X out now.
From the sound of things, Athena — who seems disappointed with Atreus — might be an antagonist in the next game, and she may initially be disguised as a “robed figure.”
Speaking of Atreus, it does look like he will be the central figure in the upcoming God of War games, which makes sense because continuing with Kratos indefinitely doesn’t seem possible without the series falling off a cliff.
A new PS5 console exclusive RPG has been announced by a South Korean studio founded by a former Neowiz (Lies of P) executive. Zanerdin: The Unbound is in development for PS5 and PC, and although it sounds promising, its trailer has left players more confused than excited.
Zanerdin: The Unbound is a turn-based PS5 RPG that promises no microtransactions
Zanerdin: The Unbound is described as a collectible turn-based RPG that deploys the increasingly popular gacha mechanics, but without microtransactions. According to developer Sanctuary Games, the base price of the game will be all that players need to pay for the full experience.
What’s more is that Zanerdin: The Unbound offers “60 unique battle stages that progress through hand-drawn narrative cutscenes.” Sounds good so far. But here’s the first trailer uploaded to the official PlayStation channel:
We’re not quite sure what we’re seeing here. There is certainly no gameplay, and the trailer doesn’t tell us anything about the plot either. One look at the comments section, and we can tell that we’re not the only ones who think this isn’t a great debut trailer.
“Welcome to Kalatos, a fantastical world forged and protected by the power of the six Blessings: Water, Fire, Earth, Metal, Wind, and Electric,” an official overview reads. “At the core of Kalatos lies the Chaos region, a desolate environment where all are born without any powers. Lead Zanerdin, born into the Chaos, into the Blessed lands to discover the truth about his family.”
Zanerdin: The Unbound doesn’t have a release window yet.
In a surprising move, PlayStation has shut down one of its most beloved studios behind some early PlayStation 5 launch titles and known for producing some incredible work.
What studio is PlayStation shutting down?
Bluepoint Games, the Sony-owned studio that became known for producing several high-quality remasters including Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls, has been shut down by Sony. News of the shut down was first reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who noted that roughly 70 people will lose their jobs as a result of the studio’s closure.
In a statement to Bloomberg, PlayStation confirmed the closure, which says the news came “following a recent business review.” The spokesperson for PlayStation also praised Bluepoint in their work for PlayStation. “Bluepoint Games is an incredibly talented team and their technical expertise has delivered exceptional experiences for the PlayStation community,” the spokesperson said. “We thank them for their passion, creativity and craftmanship.”
Bluepoint Games, founded in 2006 in Austin, Texas, was best known for developing several high-end remakes of older games. Sony acquired the company in 2021, right after the release of Demon’s Souls, which was a PS5 launch title.
The company then did additional co-developing work on 2022’s God of War Ragnarök and was reportedly working on a live-service game set in the God of War franchise, which was subsequently canceled in 2025.
As of now, Bluepoint Games has not made any remarks on the move, and it’s unclear what the future holds for those who worked at the studio. It’s also unclear what, if any, project they were working on for Sony prior to their closure. Most reports in 2025 suggested the company was pitching and working with Sony on their next direction following the cancellation of the God of War live-service game.
New details regarding the upcoming God of Warremakes announced last week have come to light from an unexpected but trustworthy source.
What are the latest details on the God of War remakes?
While attending Fan Expo in Vancouver, Canada, streamer Fuhpuzy spoke to Christopher Judge, who voices Kratos in the new renditions of God of War from Santa Monica Studio. She asked Judge about the upcoming game, and he surprisingly opened up about a few key details.
According to Judge, he won’t be appearing in the game as the voice role of the younger Kratos will be handled by his original actor, TC Carson, who also appeared at Sony’s State of Play to announce the games. Judge also said that the games will feature a whole lot of “new stuff,” including a “new fighting system” and other content.
Kratos Actor Christopher Judge has seemingly just leaked a bunch of info about the series:
– GoW Remake will have new combat, new systems & content – Only TC Carson is voicing Kratos in the remake – Next Santa Monica game is being announced late summerpic.twitter.com/LltgiEjrgX
As for what Judge might be up to, he did hint that new information about the next God of War game could be coming very soon. He mentioned that fans will be “hearing about what we’re doing probably in the late summer,” which could suggest that Santa Monica Studio will be back with another announcement during the yearly summer conference cycle.
The God of War remakes will be comprised of the first three God of War games that released in the 2000s and followed Kratos’ life as a Spartan-turned-God-of-war as he vows to get revenge against the Greek gods.
A fantastic PS5, PS4 action game series is heavily discounted in a new limited-time PS Store deal. Each of the award-winning Bendy games available on the PS Store can be picked up for under $5, with bundles also available for those who don’t want to purchase individual titles.
All Bendy PS5, PS4 games going dirt cheap in latest PS Store deal
Here’s what each of the games in this highly-recommended action horror franchise costs on the PS Store until February 26:
Bendy: Studio Collection (Ink Machine + Dark Revival) – $3.99
If you haven’t played any of these games, then Bendy: Ink Demon’s Collection should be your pick, as it includes all three games. An overview of each is below:
Bendy and the Ink Machine: As Henry, explore an abandoned animation studio hiding dark secrets. Navigate a maze of horrors, solve puzzles, and face nightmarish creatures from the shadowy Dark Puddles.
Bendy and the Dark Revival: Play as Audrey, trapped in a deranged animation studio. Sneak, fight, and solve puzzles to survive twisted creatures and the relentless Ink Demon. Uncover dark secrets to escape the studio’s inky nightmare.
Bendy: Lone Wolf: Become Boris in a brutal survival gauntlet through endless, eerie corridors. Battle cartoonish monsters, dodge deadly traps, and evade the Ink Demon’s pursuit in a pulse-pounding quest for truth.
If you forget about the New Game+ Showcase, then the Xbox Developer_Direct looks to be the first major “Direct” style presentation for the year, as is tradition. Microsoft has already confirmed the presence of Fable, Forza Horizon 6 and Beast of Reincarnation, but there are rumors of a “secret” fourth title. Which is par for the course, honestly – remember when Hi-Fi Rush exploded into the world?
Insider Shinobi602 initially reported this, noting that he was “not very excited” based on his personal tastes, without mentioning any further details. VGC’s Andy Robinson followed up by alleging that it would be a third-party title. However, the site has since posted a correction. “This is a smaller original game from a first-party studio, and not a third-party game.”
Let the speculation run wild, especially considering rumors of Obsidian Entertainment working on four new games. Perhaps a sequel to Pentiment is on the cards? Of course, there’s also Double Fine Productions, which released Keeper last year but could have another project, this one directed by Tim Schafer, to showcase.
Could we perhaps see something from Ninja Theory? Hellblade 3 doesn’t seem all that likely, especially given how long ago the studio’s next project was allegedly greenlit. However, there is Project: Mara, which the studio has been quietly working on in the background since 2020.
With the Developer_Direct set for January 22nd, the wait is excruciating. Interestingly, we may get some other bombshell announcements, including Fableallegedly launching day and date on PS5 alongside Xbox Series X/S and PC.
CORRECTION: VGC has since been told this is a smaller original game from a first-party studio, and not a third-party game, as first reported. Apologies for the mix-up. https://t.co/VO3Zt03ipE
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Gears of War: Reloaded – last year saw several once-exclusive Xbox titles making the jump to PS5. However, the undisputed most popular port is Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 5. Initially launched in 2021, the open-world racer reportedly passed five million sales on Sony’s console last week, according to Alinea Analytics’ Rhys Elliott.
“That’s over $300 million in revenue from a port of a four-year-old game,” he said. “Xbox’s move to third-party is no mystery, especially given Microsoft’s lofty profitability mandates.”
Forza Horizon 6 is the first title in the franchise to be available on a rival console. There’s also the fact that Forza Horizon 5 has been consistently popular since its release (which had more than ten million players in the first week). Combined with the fact that Playground Games continues to offer new content and features, the PS5 version’s success makes sense.
It’s thus more than a little odd that Microsoft wouldn’t prioritize launching Forza Horizon 6 on the PS5 alongside other platforms. Instead, it’s arriving sometime after the Xbox Series X/S and PC versions, which allegedly launch in the first half of this year. Lest you think this is a tactic to push more players to pick up the Xbox version or even purchase Game Pass, the staggered release is apparently due to the PS5 version not being ready.
This year’s Xbox Developer_Direct is on January 22nd, and Playground Games is bringing both of its big titles – Forza Horizon 6 and Fable. The former will receive its first-ever gameplay reveal while the latter gets a deep dive into its lovely fantasy world. Interestingly, while Forza Horizon 6 is PS5-bound at a later date, it seems that Fable could be a day-and-date multiplatform release.
This is according to VGC’s Andy Robinson, who shared on the site’s latest podcast, “Fable’s day and date. That’s what I’ve been told. Those are the sort of details where insiders misstep, right? Those are the sorts of details that can be changed a week before or a day before. The other stuff is kind of like a bit more set in stone. Yes, it’s coming to PlayStation 5.” Perhaps more intriguing is that the studio has reportedly been “targeting PS5 for a while.”
Why isn’t Forza Horizon 6 getting the same treatment, especially with how successful Forza Horizon 5 was on PS5? It’s also arguably the bigger brand, appealing to a larger spectrum of consumers. Robinson doesn’t know the “full story,” but heard that, allegedly, “It just wasn’t ready. I don’t know how true that is, because I mean, it’s going to be absolutely massive, but that game would be absolutely massive if it’s launching on everything day one, right? You’d kind of think that’s a bit of a hindrance for them.
“I mean, even Xbox stalwarts are starting to drift away from playing on the console now. It’ll have a humongous PC launch, but PS5, I mean, look at Indiana Jones: The Great Circle. It did so well when it came out on PS5 afterwards.” And yet here we are with Forza Horizon 6 arriving who-knows-when. That said, Robinson imagines that the team (which includes Turn 10 Studios) will “do their best to get that out as soon as they can.”
With another stellar year of gaming squarely in the rearview mirror, the staff here at PlayStation Lifestyle decided to take a trip down memory lane, tally up what new games we played over the past 12 months, and see which ones got enough votes to land a spot on our coveted list of best games from 2025.
Interestingly, in what might be an all-time record low, only five Sony first-party titles launched this year (discounting ports and rereleases), so a vast majority of our list is comprised of indie and AAA titles from other publishers. Chances are, you’ve heard of or played most of the games that made the cut, but a couple of our inclusions might take you by surprise.
And without further ado… the list!

10. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Showing just how loaded this year with great games, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 barely managed to lay claim to the number 10 spot. However, there’s no denying the sheer artistry on display with Sandfall Interactive’s debut title. Most RPG fans worth their salt are at the very least familiar with Clair Obscure, but if this one passed you by entirely, we’d love to know what rock you find yourself living under.

9. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
We wouldn’t blame you if you forgot that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II even came out in 2025, seeing as how it launched at the very beginning of February. This is the second, and final, European-developed RPG to make it onto our list, but unlike Clair Obscur, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II trades in the linear, dark fantasy Belle Époque setting for a truly stunning recreation of 15th-century Bohemia. If an unrivaled sense of freedom, a vast open-world that’s begging to be explored, and the unforgiving, harsh realities of medieval life and warfare pique your interest, you shouldn’t pass this one up.

8. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
With a handful of Metal Gear fans on staff, it’s no surprise that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has slithered its way onto our list. Even though series creator Hideo Kojima parted ways with Konami a decade ago and had zero involvement with the development of this remake, the original PS2 version was (or rather, still is) such a remarkable game, that its success was all but guaranteed. With a handful of quality of life improvements, a modernized control scheme, and a next-gen coat of ray-traced paint, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater looks and plays like a proper remake; anyone claiming that it’s a simple, by-the-numbers cash grab is woefully mistaken.

7. Lumines: Arise
Much like the previous entry on our list, Lumines: Arise doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel when it comes to its moment-to-moment action. In fact, aside from the newly-added Burst mechanic, Lumines: Arise’s gameplay is almost identical to the original PSP version that launched over 20 years ago. Of course, if you know anything about the series, the gameplay is only a part of the magic. From its entrenching, mesmerizing visuals to its stellar soundtrack, Lumines: Arise is a feast for the eyes and ears, and is also a sight to behold when playing in VR.

6. Split Fiction
Having laid out the foundation with A Way Out and upping the ante with It Takes Two, it’s hardly a surprise that Split Fiction was a smash hit right out of the gates. Developer Hazelight Studios has perfected its craft of creating compelling co-operative gaming experiences, and with Split Fiction, it has even managed to upend our expectations once again. Whether you’re taking to the skies on the back of a dragon or fending off cyber-ninjas, there’s plenty of fun to be had here. If we were to make one suggestion, if you give this one a go, try to find a co-op buddy who can play on the couch next to you if that’s at all possible.

5. Blue Prince
Like a few other titles on this list, Blue Prince sort of took us by surprise when it launched, and once it sank its roguelike hooks into us, we couldn’t get enough of it. Granted, some of its puzzles border on cruelly obscure, and at least one writer on our team lost hours of progress to the dreaded (and thankfully, fixed) save bug, but Blue Prince successfully wormed its way into the inner recesses of our brains, keeping us hooked on its addictive loop of drafting new rooms, uncovering more lore, and peeling back more layers of its seemingly never-ending puzzle. It’s an onion lover’s dream! Or, parfaits, if you prefer.

4. Battlefield 6
After a string of middling releases and years of losing ground to its competitors, Battlefield is finally back, and baby, it’s as good as it’s ever been. Sure, there are dozens of other shooters, competitive and casual alike, that are constantly vying for our attention, but Battlefield 6’s objective-focused, squad-centric flavor of running and gunning offers an experience that few other games come close to matching. The environmental destruction and sheer number of vehicles and weapons to master are just the icing on the cake.

3. Ghost of Yotei
Even though its story is a rather conventional revenge tale that doesn’t exactly break the mold, Ghost of Yotei is still a top-tier experience from start to finish. Building off the foundation laid out in Ghost of Tsushima, developer Sucker Punch is firing on all cylinders this time around and pushes the PS5 (and PS5 Pro, for that matter) to its limit. It’s one of the most gorgeous games we’ve seen to date, and with a handful of visual filters and audio mixes to choose from, it’s almost begging to be replayed a second (or even third) time.

2. Sword of the Sea
2025 saw the launch of a handful of different skating games, but none of them came close to matching the sense of wonder and awe that Sword of the Sea manages to evoke. It strikes an amazing balance between offering up platforming challenges and puzzles, and letting you explore a beautiful world that’s chock-full of surprises that are just waiting to be discovered and experienced firsthand. If you enjoyed Journey, or either of developer Giant Squid’s previous titles (Abzû, The Pathless), this one’s a no-brainer.

1. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
Sure, its detractors will be quick to label it as a glorified walking simulator, but Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is so much more than that. It’s a reflection on our current society, a world in which everyone is more connected than ever, but simultaneously, more isolated and alone. It’s a stunning achievement on a technical level, serving up some of the best visuals and most lovingly crafted cutscenes we’ve seen to date. And, for a handful of us staffers and contributors, it’s another opportunity to take a peek into the mind of Hideo Kojima, an absolute juggernaut of a game developer who’s been reinventing genres and subverting expectations for four decades at this point. But, above all, it’s a game about sticks. And ropes. Oh, and chiral networks. And don’t forget Timefall. Plate gates too!
A Sega PS5, PS4 game has been removed from the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog without a warning. We’re not sure when Endless Dungeon: Definitive Edition disappeared from PS Plus, but we’ve checked several regions’ PS Store pages to confirm that it’s not currently part of the catalog.
Sega game Endless Dungeon was added to PS Plus in June 2025
Endless Dungeon: Definitive Edition was added to PS Plus Extra back in June 2025. While Sony does have six-month deals with some publishers, it’s unusual for a Sega game to leave PS Plus in that span of time, especially without notice.
We’re not sure if Endless Dungeon has been removed in all regions or not, but at the time of writing, it’s not available to claim in U.S. and U.K. PS stores. I looked around on gaming forums to see if anyone else noticed the game missing in the Extra catalog, and saw a few comments from players who said they were only able to play Endless Dungeon because they had previously downloaded it. Those who didn’t claim it are not able to download it for free.
This leads me to believe that Endless Dungeon’s removal is a temporary PS Store glitch. We’ve seen this happen before when Sony updated SKUs for games on the storefront. In the case of Sayonara Wild Hearts, the game disappeared from PS Plus Extra for a week as Sony updated its SKU after its native PS5 port was released.
Here’s hoping that’s also the case with Endless Dungeon.
We’ll update our readers when we have more information.
Microsoft has confirmed that a pair of RPGs will be the next Xbox games to release on the PS5, and both of them will be out on the platform in February 2026. Obsidian Entertainment‘s Avowed will launch on PS5 first, followed by Stoic’s Towerborne.
RPGs Avowed and Towerborne are the next Xbox games headed to PS5
Action RPG Avowed will be available on PS5 on February 17, along with its Anniversary Update. The update will add New Game Plus, Photo Mode, new character appearance, new weapon, new character options, and more.
“You are the envoy of Aedyr, a distant land, sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague throughout the Living Lands — an island full of mysteries and secrets, danger and adventure, and choices and consequences, and untamed wilderness,” reads an official overview. “Can you save this unknown frontier and your soul from the forces threatening to tear them asunder?”
Stoic’s Towerborne is a side-scrolling action RPG that’s currently in early access. The full game will launch on PS5 on February 26.
“Rise again as an Ace, an immortal warrior reborn to defend the Belfry against the darkness beyond its walls,” a description reads. “Journey across a crumbling world, uncover the mystery of the fallen City of Numbers, and push back the corruption threatening humanity’s survival.”
It’s almost time to say goodbye to a divisive BioWare PS4 action RPG (playable on PS5) as it prepares to shut down for good. Frankly, we’re surprised that Anthem stayed live for seven years despite its development being canceled five years ago, but here we are.
PS4, PS5 users can play doomed BioWare RPG Anthem until January 12, 2026
PS5 and PS4 players are reminded that they have until Monday, January 12, 2026 to enjoy Anthem and/or mop up those trophies. PlayStation LifeStyle’s own Tyler Treese managed to pop the Platinum trophy just in time. Don’t miss out on your final opportunity this weekend to earn that rare Platinum!
Anthem was a departure for BioWare that ultimately led the studio down a dark path, but much of the blame for this live service disaster fell on publisher Electronic Arts. The company infamously decided that games-as-a-service was the way to go, and gutted single-player projects along the way.
Anthem was a critical and commercial failure, and at one point, the game’s discs were being sold for pennies. For its part, EA acknowledged the misfire, but not before Anthem’s troubles took their toll on BioWare.

The upcoming unannounced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt DLC seems to be the new worst-kept secret in gaming. Details about the new content began to surface last year, revealing that it will bridge the gap between the 2015 RPG and The Witcher 4. The latest report reveals even more details about the DLC, including where it will be set.
What are the new details for the upcoming unannounced The Witcher 3 DLC?
In a new report from IGN Poland, it is revealed that the publication knew about The Witcher 3 DLC years ago, but did not report on it as they only had information from one source. However, now that it seems all but confirmed, they are sharing what they were told about the upcoming DLC.
“We have a confession to make. We’ve known about work on a potential new expansion behind the scenes for a very long time,” reads IGN’s article. We don’t want to reveal exact dates to protect our sources, but the topic first appeared on our radar years ago. Our source — someone who has repeatedly provided us with reliable, insider information — confirmed directly that a new expansion was in the works, albeit at a very early stage.”
“At the time, we were hearing signs that the team was fascinated by a completely different destination than the frozen north,” the article continues. “There were many indications that the developers were keenly interested in exploring Zerrikania.”
