Image
Ghost of Yotei sales are in-line with Ghost of Tsushima’s in Europe, new data shows. As reported by The Game Business , Ghost of Yotei debuted at No.2 in the GSD European charts behind EA’s FC 26. Sony has yet to announce a sales figure for Ghost of Yotei, which launched exclusively on PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025. But we now know that in Europe it’s doing about as well as its predecessor, which launched in 2020 exclusively on PlayStation 4. That is, for its first few days on sale, as the GSD European chart runs to October 5. There are a number of things worth noting here. Not only did Ghost of Tsushima launch on a console with a bigger install base at that point than PS5 has now, it launched during the pandemic, which saw record video game sales and player numbers as people were forced to stay at home during lockdowns. The Game Business noted that Ghost of Yotei is the biggest first-party PlayStation launch since Spider-Man 2 in October 2023. Helldivers 2, which launched F...

Battlefield 6 'Ladder Launching' Will Get Patched, but That Hasn't Stopped Players From Having Fun While It Lasts

Image
Battlefield 6 players haven’t decided what their favorite weapons are yet, but they’ve already fallen in love with a new movement tech called “ladder launching.” To catch you up to speed, the ladder is a gadget available to use with the Assault class in Battlefield Studios and EA’s latest Battlefield game. It’s a traversal tool that can be used to reach high-up places, opening up opportunities to gain new vantage points or even sneak up on unsuspecting enemies. The thing is that now, just days after Battlefield 6 launched for PC and consoles, the ladder is also being used for much, much more. The ladder is a nice idea but the physics around it seems to be a bit finicky by u/xXRougailSaucisseXx in Battlefield If you’ve even accidentally whipped out the ladder while playing Battlefield 6 multiplayer, you might have noticed that actually mounting it can be a hassle. The bottom of the gadget bumps players around if placed at a certain angle, triggering moments that balance frustr...

Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Review

Image
Editor's note: This review covers the multiplayer only - you can find our Battlefield 6 single-player campaign review here . Battlefield 6’s multiplayer action is all about layers. You have an infantry layer, where teams exchange gunfire on foot; there’s the land vehicle layer, where tanks and armored cars reshape the front lines with powerful weapons capable of decimating infantry and bringing entire buildings to the ground; and then there’s sky layer, where a small number of flyers hold dominion over the air, with the potential to flatten ground forces outright. What’s impressive is not only that each layer is so different, but also so well constructed, and somehow they all fit together seamlessly. A few of the maps have a bad habit of becoming sniper-infested hellscapes, and it takes a little too long to unlock the better equipment that makes your loadouts really interesting, but those are minor gripes with what is otherwise one of the best multiplayer shooters of the year...

Pokémon Teraleak Reveals Unannounced Games, Seemingly Laying Out Franchise's Major Releases Through 2030

Image
A swathe of upcoming Pokémon game projects have seemingly been detailed online, via the latest release of material originating from the so-called "Teraleak" of data hacked from the servers of series developer Game Freak. The cache of information, which includes development plans, concept art and early screenshots, was revealed overnight following the disclosure yesterday of data obtained in the hack that pertained to Pokémon Legends: Z-A , which launches this week. As IGN reported yesterday , the suggestion is that the hacker behind last year's Game Freak breach has sat on this latest cache of data for almost a year, until Pokémon Legends: Z-A's launch. But now, it seems, the floodgates are open for everything else obtained from Game Freak detailing the franchise's future — and its product roadmap for the rest of the decade. The largest cache of information relates to the franchise's highly-anticipated "Gen 10" games that are expected to launc...

Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch 1.0.28891 Is Heavy on the Fixes, Light on the Balance Changes

Image
Post-launch support for Hollow Knight: Silksong continues, this time with patch version 1.0.28891 out now. The update makes a number of improvements and fixes, and some light balance changes. The game now pauses when the controller disconnects, which is an important safety net for such an intense game. Indeed, there are controller support improvements across the board. On the balance side of things, there’s a slight increase to Sharp Dart and Cross Stitch damage, updated damage scaling on Rune Rage to match other Silk Skills, and a slight decrease to Thread Storm damage at higher needle levels. It’s also worth noting that the patch changes Fine Pins wish drops from 50% chance to 100%, but raises the required quantity. Developer Team Cherry had signalled its first priority remains to improve Silksong’s Simplified Chinese translation . This was in response to high-profile criticism of the translation, which had led to Chinese players leaving negative Steam reviews. These improveme...
