Sony Unlocks Almost All of Its Steam Games for Countries Without PSN

Gaming, Slider, Trendy
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.

Representatives of PlayStation Publishing LLC are not in a hurry to name the official reason for the return of games to the "fo...

If you've always felt like the characters in the Super Meat Boy series lacked depth, the recently announced hardcore 3D platformer Super Meat Boy 3D should solve that problem. Players will once again have to save Bandage Girl from Doctor Fetus, but this time in voluminous worlds with many traps.

Despite numerous remasters of cult games of recent years, the classic Fallout, which started the legendary post-apocalyptic series, is unlikely to receive an updated version.

At the Digital Dragons 2025 event, new details about the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 unexpectedly emerged — and the source of the leak was Mike Pondsmith himself, the creator of the Cyberpunk universe.
