Former PlayStation head isn't sure how Sony can recoup those big budgets without first-party games coming to PC

Last month, a report emerged that claimed that Sony would no longer be putting its first-party games like Ghost of Yotei on PC, with online games like Marathon being the exception. The PlayStation maker is yet to confirm or deny this, and the report even noted that Sony's strategy is "constantly shifting," meaning this may end up proving untrue.

Shapez 2 leaves the factory floor today as it launches into 1.0

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced doesn’t include the Freedom Cry DLC, Ubisoft say they made a “clear choice” to focus on Edward’s adventure

Yep, after years of messages in bottles washing ashore in the form of reports claiming Ubisoft are remaking Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, it’s finally coming on July 9th. I've seen the newly dubbed Black Flag Resynced and all the tweaks Ubisoft have made to the very good pirate game which also features some assassinating. A few things have stuck out to me.
