Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector Coming to Game Pass and PlayStation this December

PlayStation Plus and PS Now will reportedly merge into a combined subscription service in Spring 2022, building a more robust service to combat the ever-expanding Xbox Game Pass. Previous reports indicated that several tiers are being worked on and that gamers will have the option to keep their subscription tier.

It’s fair to say that although PlayStation Plus does have some bangers, compared to Xbox Game Pass, it’s still mostly been missing the mark. As Game Pass users have repeatedly stayed winning (I mean, they have Mass Effect Legendary Edition this month, come on now), recent months have seen PS Plus subscribers disappointed with the selection of monthly games, with many calling for a change to the service to increase its value for money.

Sony expects to be keeping Activision games on its systems. But for how long?. After what has felt like forever, Sony has finally responded to the news that Microsoft is purchasing Activision.

It looks like The Artful Escape, a kaleidoscopic 2D side-scroller following a budding musician through space and time, is on its way to PlayStation. A runaway success with the GAMINGbible team, it snagged the silver medal in our list of the best games of last year. "The Artful Escape is twofold: its visuals are dazzling and its story touching and tender, the whole experience distinctly grounded despite the galaxies it sends the player spinning through. Few games of 2021 made us smile as much as this one," we said. If you're a tough nut to crack, it's not just us who thought the game was one of the highlights of a very strong year in the industry. At The Game Awards, The Artful Escape was nominated for Best Art Direction, Best Score and Music and Best Debut Indie Game and appeared on plenty of other media outlets covering the games you mustn't miss from 2021.

Microsoft Gaming is acquiring megapublisher Activision Blizzard, and that is bad news for Sony. This doesn’t mean the PlayStation brand is done, of course. The PlayStation 5 will continue to succeed tomorrow just as it has since its launch in November 2020. But Sony does have to reckon with how Microsoft is reshaping the industry in Game Pass’s image, and it has a few of options for how to do that. The correct response, however, is to not fight back at all.

PlayStation Now cards are receiving their eviction notice from Sony, causing further speculation that a ‘PlayStation Game Pass’ style service is on its way to PS5 and PS4.

This is allegedly setting the stage for Sony’s upcoming merger of PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now into a GamePass-ish service for PS gamers.

Following reports that PlayStation is asking UK retailers to begin removing PS Now retail cards, PlayStation has confirmed that it is streamlining its gift card offerings.

In a statement to IGN, PlayStation says, “Globally, we are moving from PlayStation Now Gift cards to focus on our current cash denomination PlayStation gift cards, which can be redeemed for PlayStation Now.”

Overall, the PlayStation 5 has done well on the gaming market in the one year it's been out. In addition to receiving critical acclaim for its hardware and exclusive titles, the PS5 made history as PlayStation's biggest console launch. However, the rival Xbox Series X has mostly kept up with its Sony-created counterpart. While part of this is due to the newest Xbox iteration being objectively more powerful than the PS5, the Series X also boasts a very consumer-friendly feature in Xbox Game Pass, a monthly subscription service that allows gamers day one access to hundreds of titles, including mega-hits like "Halo Infinite."

Everybody likes a bundle. Collections of previous games in one neat package, such as the Master Chief Collection, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Final Mix.
