Following the success of Stellar Blade, Sony Interactive Entertainment has decided to unlock its games on Steam for regions where the PlayStation Network service was previously unavailable. The company introduced a regional block for users of the Valve service in May 2024, restricting access to the shooter Helldivers 2.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era was supposed to go into early access in the summer of 2025, but Unfrozen Studio decided to hold the game back - now the launch will take place sometime later in 2025.

The importance of the debut of Nintendo's first new console in eight years was underscored by the measures it took ahead of the launch to combat scalpers. Switch 2 sales started on June 5th simultaneously all over the world. Switc...
