Hi-Fi Rush made for an exciting shadow drop after last week's Xbox Developer Direct, but the general public isn't the first to be enamored by it. Apparently, it went a bit viral internally at Bethesda first - which in part led to Tango's decision to shadow drop it in the first place.
For the first few years of this generation, a number of industry analysts argued Sony may need to add first-party games to PS Plus at launch in order to maintain pace with Xbox Game Pass.
The Japanese giant, to its credit, always maintained its position that this was unsustainable. It later added tiers to its subscription offering, providing good value with PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium without going all-in like its Redmond rival.
Microsoft has since missed a number of targets with its own service, and has subsequently started releasing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Sony’s console.

Not all know. I am betting those observing this while obscured may have trouble comprehending 😅
Back in the day, there were even discussions and I believe statements from Spencer about wether Sony would allow Game Pass on Playstation.
At least for the time being this option seems definitely to be ruled out completely.
Mycopunk is an upcoming co-op shooter from Pigeons at Play and Devolver Digital that is as fun and chaotic as it is strategic!
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.
Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.
Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more
@jznrpg
Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.
Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.
because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.
The game is great, and the fact that Tango can go from horror games to this, at the complete other end of the spectrum, really shows their strengths as a developer.
It went viral internally. Usually that's just marketing talk in most cases because of course theyll be high giving themselves internally across studios.
Thankfully it turned out to be a hit and the ppl responded.
In fact the game did so well it hot number 8 on Steam beating out Forspoken. Unfortunately didn't hit top 10 last week. It's even on track to bringing in more revenue than Forspoken.
This is clearly not the first time AA games do better than the AAA counter parts critically. Stray, High On Life, Pentiment, Sifu. I really don't want a world where AA will take over AAA. If AAA can't get their acts together.
I finished it last night. I know it's only January but I'll be surprised if it's not on my top 5 games at the end of the year.
A great game a definite worth to try it that and pentiment, high on life, SIFU, And Stray are amazing games as well.
nice we need more fun games please and less money grabbing micro transcations
