Objectively, the Xbox Game Pass is currently the most suitable option for video games. Simply put, Microsoft has an extensive collection of video games to offer its users, with absolute compatibility with previous generations of Xbox consoles, as well as the ability to play those games by streaming on almost any device that has a screen. In addition, a large number of new video games also come to the Xbox Game Pass on the first day, which only positions this service even more strongly at the very top. On the other hand, there is the company Sony, which in some of its segments seems to have remained in the past, and the background about this functionality offered by Microsoft. So far, Sony has relied on its exclusive titles which are, also objectively, some of the best video games available to gamers. However, the competition did not sleep, it offered great value for money, so the PlayStation Plus and exclusive titles for the PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles are no longer enough. So Sony started working on the Spartacus project, a counterpart to Microsoft's Game Pass. As some say, this is the worst kept secret in the entire gaming industry, so information has been circulating for some time about what this new service will provide to users. Now, Sony has officially announced what it will offer players. So, there are three subscription levels - PlayStation Plus Essential, PlayStation Plus Extra, and PlayStation Plus Premium. PlayStation Plus Essential is an old, good, unchanged PlayStation Plus, which offers customers the same thing it has offered so far at unchanged prices. So, two free video games every month, exclusive discounts, saving saves in the cloud, as well as the opportunity to participate in online multiplayer. PlayStation Plus Extra is the first new service Sony offers to its customers. Here are all the benefits of the PlayStation Plus Essential package, with a significant addition of almost 400 top-quality video games from the PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles, both exclusive and multiplatform. The price for this service is 14.99 dollars in the USA, 13.99 euros in Europe, and 10.99 pounds in the United Kingdom for a monthly subscription. For three months, those prices are 39.99 dollars, 39.99 euros, as well as 31.9 pounds. On an annual basis, prices rise to 99.99 dollars, 99.99 euros, as well as 83.99 pounds. Lastly, there’s what interests everyone, and that’s the PlayStation Plus Premium. This service brings customers all the benefits of PlayStation Plus Essential and PlayStation Plus Extra, with interesting additions. There will be an additional 340 video games consisting of PlayStation 3 titles that users will play via streaming technology, as well as video games with PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PSP consoles. Users also can try video games before buying for a certain period. The price for this service is 17.99 dollars in the USA, 16.99 euros in Europe, and 13.49 pounds in the United Kingdom every month. For three months, the prices are 49.99 dollars and euros, as well as 39.99 pounds. In the end, 119.99 dollars and euros should be set aside for the annual subscription, as well as 99.99 pounds, writes the PlayStation blog. On the other hand, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $ 14.99 per month, which is still cheaper than what Sony has prepared. It remains for us to see all this in practice during June when this service should become available to users. It should also be noted that PlayStation Now will no longer exist, but will become part of new service packages.

Two, three weeks before the announced D1, everything is ready for sale and the game is on its way to the distributor warehouse. Sometimes the lack of marketing, which we wrote about when Cyberpunk 2077 was postponed, can point us to problems. When it comes to The Settlers, we were somehow expected to face a problem called "shifting" again. Ubisoft has decided to postpone the announcement date for the third time due to the negative reaction of the players! Recently, in January this year, Ubisoft announced that it would publish The Settlers on March 17. But ... After getting feedback from players who were testing the beta, Ubisoft decided to annoy the players a bit. The upcoming reboot of this series of real-time strategies will get the extra time needed to develop and improve to improve quality before the game is released. The recent closed beta was a great opportunity for all the players who participated to share valuable feedback on the current state of the game and we would like to thank them for their participation It is worrying that this has become almost a practice in the company. In addition to the game The Settlers, due to the negative reaction of the audience, the publication of the eagerly awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was postponed, as well as the Ghost Recon Frontline. Do you think that extra time will help make the game better? Oh, that snow! It's time for him, and what holidays without snow! Of course, there will be a snow cover in Red Dead Online as well, with lights and decorations around your campsite, Moonshine Shack, and along the cobbled streets of Saint-Denis with an anime to create a cheerful mood. Although, that is probably the only place where the whole "cheerful" side of things ends since the rest of the update refers to weapons, drinks, and other cowboy things. With the holiday update, anyone can get their hands on the most solemn gun in Red Dead Online, as the restrictions on locking the rank are lifted on the double-barreled shotgun between December 14 and January 5. Moreover, Rockstar pays triple RDO $ and XP and twice as much gold as the usual gold for modes like Make It Count and Last Stand. At the same time, Gun Rush, Gun Rush teams, Spoils of War, Up in Smoke, and Overrun are paying double prizes. And if you need a little extra test, retailers and moonshine pay twice as much as the usual RDO $. Thirsty Cowboys will want to go to the salon and order a drink because you will get "Good to See Ya"; as a free bonus. Everyone who registers for Red Dead Online between December 14 and December 25 will receive 25 Capitals and a free add-on, while Winter Evans Repeater will be free for all players from December 14 to December 29. The entry bonus for the period from December 26 to January 5 includes 10 volatile dynamite sticks, 20 fire arrows, a free weight loss tonic prize, and a prize for releasing your prize in all states. Far Cry CEO Dan Hay, who has been the franchise’s executive producer for the past decade, is leaving Ubisoft because of reports that the next game in the series will adopt a live service approach similar to that for Assassin’s Creed Infinity. Hay is doing his last day at Ubisoft today, November 12, a company spokesman confirmed to reporters. There is still no word on what Hay will do next, and Ubisoft said only that the developer "finds a new chapter in his professional life." Hay started working for Ubisoft as a producer for Far Cry 3, which has remained the highest-rated part of the series to this day, proving his role and importance to the company with each new title, including Blood Dragon, Far Cry 4, Primal, Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. Prior to joining the Ubisoft team, he worked for Raven Software on games such as X-Men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. In 2007 he moved to Day 1 Studios to work on Fracture and Fear 3. Ubisoft is currently looking for someone to take over his role permanently and in the meantime, the Far Cry brand team will be led by a veteran with 15 years of work at the company, Sandra Warren from Montreal. From the next Far Cry game, we will have a live-service game similar to Assassin’s Creed Infinity project. Far Cry 6 came out last month and Ubisoft has plans to support the game with plenty of DLC and upgrades over the next period, and the company doesn’t seem to want to discuss future projects. What they also don't want to talk about much, and what is being talked about, is the outflow of workers in Canada. The company is known to increase the salaries of those who want to stay and promises to improve working conditions. Ubisoft is currently under public pressure due to its attitude towards workers, specifically female workers due to sexism and abuse. They state that they are changing their work environments while the workers do not really agree with doing enough. Santa Monica Studio, a video game programming company based in Los Angeles and owned by PlayStation Studios, is the creator of a very successful game - God of War. Yesterday, the company announced that it will announce a port for God of War for computer owners, entering a completely new market. Porting the game to PC will allow thousands of players to enjoy the story of Kratos and his adventures with a significant increase in graphics quality. According to the company's announcement, PC porting will allow fine-tuning of graphics settings, including several new technologies that will support it. Some important upgrades via the console port include native 4K rendering and an unlimited frame rate. The company stated that the ambient occlusion line was upgraded with GTAO and SSDO technology, creating unique visual effects. In addition, the game will feature support for NVIDIA Super Deep Learning Sampling (DLSS) and Low Latency Reflex technology.
When it comes to controllers, the game will have support for Sony DualSense and DualShock4 controllers. Last but not least, players on ultra-wide monitors are also lucky because the game supports the format of width and height 21: 9. According to Techpowerup, this game will be available from January 14, 2022, on the Steam store. |
