Another month, another PlayStation Store analysis from Sony. While Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War stole the show in January, this time around it’s FIFA 21 that wound up as the most downloaded PS5 game of the month. It also had a strong showing in Europe, beating out GTA 5 for the top spot on PS4. February is almost always a slow month in terms of hot new releases, so it comes as no surprise that older games rose to the top of the charts....
World football takes center stage once again this November. This year’s FIFA World Cup will be played in Qatar, marking the 22nd edition of the tournament. Defending champions France will be looking to repeat their 2018 glory, while other favorites like Belgium and Brazil will try to claim the title. And then of course there is England, who haven’t won the tournament since 1966 and will be looking to finally take the cup home this year....
Final Fantasy 15 receives a day one ‘Crown Update’ patch from Square Enix that includes 8 GB of tweaks and improvements to the fantasy role-playing game. Final Fantasy 15 is just a day away from launch and franchise fans are eagerly counting down the final hours until they can embark on the fantasy road trip. As expected in the current console generation, Final Fantasy 15 won’t really be ready to play until users download and install a day one patch full of last minute tweaks and improvements....
New screenshots from Square Enix show off the Final Fantasy 15’s protagonist Noctis using different guns during combat, including a weapon that literally fires shockwaves. Keeping fans interested in a game that has been delayed for over a decade should be difficult, but it’s a testament to the franchise’s place in gaming history that Final Fantasy 15 remains one of the most eagerly anticipated releases in 2016. Even Final Fantasy 15 getting a two month delay earlier this summer wasn’t enough to diminish the hopes of JRPG gamers everywhere, and for each misstep Square Enix manages to answer back with an enticing Final Fantasy 15 gameplay demo to placate fans....
Little is known about Square Enix’s upcoming Final Fantasy 16, as there was even some confusion of its platforms on announcement. One thing that does seem clear, based on the trailer alone, is a return-to-form approach for the game. Over time, Final Fantasy has gone back and forth telling more fantasy-oriented stories like the first few games and more sci-fi oriented stories like Final Fantasy 7 and FF15. Based on what was shown, it seems clear that Final Fantasy 16 finds itself in the former camp, at least in style....
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is getting a Deluxe Edition and a pricey 1st Class Edition collector’s edition containing a Cloud statue, as revealed during the Square Enix press conference at E3 2019. The announcement came at the end of a new trailer that revealed Tifa for the first time in the classic JRPG remaster. The cheaper Deluxe Edition of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake includes a steelbook case, art book, mini-soundtrack CD, and Cactuar bonus Summon Materia DLC....
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is, very intentionally, not anywhere near a full remake of the original Final Fantasy 7. It expands on the story in many different ways, but it also explores new story elements entirely. There’s no greater example of the way Final Fantasy 7 Remake is changing than in two key characters, Aerith and Sephiroth. And if a new message from the motion capture actor for Aerith means what it says, players are going to learn much more about these two in the next Final Fantasy 7 Remake episode....
Sega and Sports Interactive’s Football Manager series has cemented its place as the top management simulator of the world’s most-watched sport. Games like FIFA Manager and LMA Manager have come and gone as they were unable to match Football Manager, which hit the ground running in 2005 after Sports Interactive left the critically acclaimed Championship Manager series. One of the many features that sets the series apart is its in-depth scouting of real players....
Alongside a myriad of changes to Epic Games’ battle royale title Fortnite in the version 7.30 update, the developer has seen fit to add a new ice-based grenade appropriately called the Chiller Grenade. Likely inspired by on-going wintry events on the battle island or the now-vaulted Chiller trap, this grenade may not exactly work as many expected. By the name, many believed this grenade would temporarily freeze opponents in place, combining a serious snare with the flexibility of a grenade....
Thanks to the ongoing Fortnitemares Halloween event, Fortnite fans already have plenty of challenges to complete. However, that hasn’t stopped Epic Games from releasing another set of challenges today, including a challenge to record a speed of 27 MPH or more at five different radar signs.

When Nintendo announced that Fortnite was coming to the Switch, and today, it came as happy news. Just not to PlayStation 4 players. After downloading the game on Switch and going through the process to connect their existing accounts, many gamers found that they weren’t allowed to do so. The reason? Sony doesn’t want to play nice with Nintendo. Playing Fortnite requires the creation of an Epic Games account. This account can be linked to PC, Mac, iOS, Xbox, PS4, and now Switch....
Epic Games has already given Fortnite players plenty of reasons to jump back in the game recently. Season 6 has just begun bringing with it major map changes, an all-new content theme and plenty of new cosmetics for players to unlock. There’s also a new Battle Pass to progress through and challenges to complete. But, in case people needed even more of an incentive, Epic is also working on a new game mode....
Fortnite’s free-to-play economy is mainly driven by its creative and over-the-top skins, with Epic Games releasing new skins for the game on a consistent basis. One Fortnite fan has even taken it upon himself to create his own skins for the game, taking inspiration from Mortal Kombat. Artist Eric Tran released fan art of Fortnite skins based on Mortal Kombat fighters Scorpion and Sub-Zero. The Scorpion skin includes a pickaxe with the Mortal Kombat dragon as its blade, whereas Sub-Zero is equipped with a frozen pickaxe and comes complete with a penguin backpack....
For the past couple of months, Fortnite has pretty consistently hosted crossover events. It started with the Avengers: Endgame event that allowed players to use weapons from the movie as well as take on the role of the Mad Titan himself Thanos, and now it looks like it may be continuing with a Fortnite Godzilla event. Rumors of a Fortnite Godzilla event started because of a giant eyeball that has been discovered in Polar Peak....
If you’re a fan of Fortnite then there is a chance you’re familiar with Twitch streamer Ninja. Best known for his high skill play in Epic Games’ Battle Royale title, Ninja accomplishes impressive feats regularly and even has a few record-breaking matches under his belt. However, sometimes Ninja is a little too good at Fortnite and gets a little too confident as a result. And in the case of the below clip, Ninja’s confidence hurt his chances at another record....
A full list of the challenges to have landed in Fortnite during week three of Season 3 and how to best go about completing every last one of them. Fortnite isn’t strictly about landing on the game’s island and eliminating as many people as possible until getting eliminated yourself. Or bagging that elusive Victory Royale, of course. For players who plan on sticking around, it’s also about leveling up that Battle Pass and unlocking as much loot as possible....

Friday the 13: The Game developer IllFonic has already given fans something to scream about this Halloween, as it recently added new Jason kills and counselor skins to the game. But the developer is currently preparing lots more content for players of its hit multiplayer game, having now announced a brand new game mode. In a new teaser trailer, IllFonic announces a game mode called “Paranoia.” Jason may be the game’s main antagonist, but once this new Friday the 13th game mode goes live, the counselors could face an even tougher threat....
