• Persona 5 Royal
• Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
• My Time at Sandrock

• Lil' Gator Game
• Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip

The big draw this month is Persona 5 Royal, the best version of the critically acclaimed Atlus-developed game. While the core storyline remains intact, the Royal Edition of Persona 5 adds even more unlockable content, a new character, more music, and numerous changes under the hood, greatly extending the amount of time you can expect to sink into this game. Don't be too surprised if you spend 100 hours here, as thanks to it being Steam Deck-compatible, you can grind away in dungeons from the comfort of your bed if you happen to own the Valve handheld.

Xbox is going through an identity crisis. The most recent wave of layoffs at Microsoft, which cut about 9,000 jobs including numerous positions at studios under the Xbox banner, suggests as much. These cost-cutting measures are said to be in the service of some realignment or reorganization that's always purported to set up these companies for greater success. And yet they keep happening, further eroding any trust and goodwill the brand may have built up from previous successes. After several waves of job cuts, restructurings, pivots in strategy, and any other corporate jargon I've neglected to mention, I'm beginning to suspect that Xbox's growing instability deserves more scrutiny and concern from its developers and consumers alike.

Let's be direct: The journey that Xbox has been on over the last decade appears to be a failure. Its famous spree of purchases and the subsequent management of its studios has churned out about as many blemished games as it has delays, cancellations, and studio closures. That isn't to say Xbox hasn't produced hits and gems, but along the way there, Xbox has also built up quite the track record of critically panned games, cancelled projects, and defunct teams.

No matter the aspect that you place under the microscope, Xbox is clearly bleeding through the bandages it keeps applying. Take a glimpse at the stable of teams at Xbox Game Studios, Microsoft's internal publishing division. Its most recent layoff resulted in the closure of at least one team under the banner, The Initiative, and the cancellation of its game Perfect Dark. Turn 10, one of its stalwart developers on the Forza franchise, has been reportedly cut to the bone. Rare, which was working on Everwild while maintaining the live-service title Sea of Thieves, is invariably in a worse position on the other side of the layoffs than it was before.

Many have circled October 10 on their calendars as the day Battlefield 6 launches, marking a new era for EA's flagship military simulation franchise. However, it's not the only game set to release that day; a new contender has appeared on the horizon, riding like the wind to try to steal the throne. Today, Outright Games and Mattel have announced Barbie: Horse Trails, a new "open-world adventure" featuring the iconic character.

Barbie: Horse Trails will let players choose between two characters--Barbie "Brooklyn" Roberts and Barbie "Malibu" Roberts--as they ride through Canterbury Trails Park, a landscape made up of multiple open areas. Each area holds new mysteries to solve, items to collect, and quests to complete as the duo, along with park rangers, try to "refresh and beautify" the park.

Along with the main quest, multiple side missions will feature characters from the Barbie universe, including Ken, Teresa, Nikki, and Daisy. Other activities included in this new game will include a photo mode that players can use to document clues while solving mysteries, horse-care mechanics that will allow them to build their relationship with their horse, as well as customizable outfits, riding gear, and accessories.

There's no question that continuing the success of the PlayStation 5 is one of Sony's top priorities, especially given that its latest console is getting closer to five years old. The Japanese tech giant has yet to formally announce the PlayStation 6, but over the past few months there have been some developments that have allowed us some rare insight into what shape the eventual console might take.

In this post, we're rounding up everything we know about Sony's PlayStation 6, a potential new Sony handheld, and what the future of console gaming might look like. Keep checking back for more as we update this post as new information comes to light the closer we get to an eventual release date in the next few years.

PS6 Release Date, Potential Price

Since no formal announcement has been made for the PlayStation 6, there's no release window to speak of. Taking the company's previous console generation cadence into consideration, one could assume that a PS6 could release in 2027. That would be seven years after the PS5, which itself launched seven years after the PS3. But the gaming industry has changed dramatically since then, which is evident in how long support for the PS4 has stuck around this far into a new generation of hardware. Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida recently shared that "2028 feels right" when asked about the PS6, but notably hasn't been at Sony since the end of 2024.

Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo has announced that it'll be ending support for the game on PS4 this year, and it'll be completely shut down in 2026 on that platform. Citing "limitations related to hardware performance" as one of the reasons for discontinuing the game, MiHoYo added that the requirements for the mobile versions of the game will also necessitate increased power on iOS and Android devices.

"Due to limitations related to hardware performance and platform application size, we will be discontinuing support and updates for Genshin Impact on PS4 in future versions," the studio explained in a blog post. The PS4 version of Genshin Impact will be removed from the PlayStation Network on September 10, but if you'd previously downloaded the game, you'll still be able to re-download it.

Starting February 25, 2026, all in-game purchases for the PS4 edition will be removed from the PlayStation Store, and all update support for Genshin Impact will end on April 8, 2026. This will result in players no longer being able to log in to the game on PS4. MiHoYo says it will start reminding players of this change later this year. As for the mobile versions of Genshin Impact, MiHoYo says those devices will need to meet these updated requirements:

The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 Bundle (4K)

$29.49 (was $50)

See at Amazon

With a new Spider-Man film currently in production, now is a great time to catch up on the older movies starring everyone's favorite web-slinger. Over at Amazon, you can get a new 4K bundle of the two Amazing Spider-Man movies that starred Andrew Garfield as the iconic hero for just $29.49 (was $50). This is now in stock, and it comes with digital streaming codes for each film as well.

The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 Bundle (4K) $29.49 (was $50)

Following the release of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 in 2007, the superhero franchise went into hibernation for a few years. The hiatus ended with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012, and it was followed by a sequel in 2014. The native 4K (2160p) resolution for the Spidey movies are top-notch, and for audio, the discs offer Dolby Atmos support that works really well through a surround system.

The only catch here is that you won't get much in terms of bonus materials. There is a cast-and-crew photo tab option on both discs and "categorized" moments you can skip to, but otherwise, you'll need to grab the standard Blu-ray releases of these Spider-Man movies to access special features.

Overall, these Spider-Man movies are okay at best, but they don't reach the same groundbreaking heights as the Sam Raimi trilogy starring Tobey Maguire or the recent Spidey flicks with Tom Holland under the mask, which is strengthened by its MCU connections. The Amazing Spider-Man is a passable retelling of Peter Parker's origin story with some baffling deviations from the established story, while The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an overstuffed attempt at setting up a Sinister Six movie.

See at Amazon

What the movies did have going for them was Garfield's portrayal of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, plus an amazing supporting cast that featured Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, and several other great actors.

This game puts players in the role of Remi, a United Nations peacekeeper who is accompanied by a drone as he goes AWOL into his homeland, Hadea, to find his missing parents. What he discovers is that supernatural creatures called Hollow Walkers have infested the country. Although the drone can help Remi defend himself, he'll primarily use melee weapons, including swords, polearms, and axes.
