Apex Legends now available for free for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4

Apex Legends is coming to Steam soon

It’s funny to see that since Epic Games has its own store, more and more parties are embracing Steam again. After Microsoft and Ubisoft, it is now EA that will fill Gabe Newell’s wallet (yes, Gabe likes a pork chop). Apex Legends will be available from November 4 via Steam, where you can also switch between Origin and Steam. All progress will be shareable between both accounts. You will also receive the in-game goodies below when you start the game via Steam. The seventh season of the game also starts on November 4.

There was also less good news, because the Switch version of the game has been postponed. This should be released this year, but this will be in 2021. We are working hard on the port, but due to the strange events of this year, more time is needed. It has been confirmed that the Switch will also have crossplay, so you can play with friends from other consoles when the game becomes available.

You know that again!

Apex Legends is gearing up for a new seasonal event

Gamers who have played Apex Legends for some time will probably remember the ‘Fight or Fright’ seasonal event. This Halloween-themed event will return again this year and, to be precise, already next week.

The in-game event will take place from October 4 and will last until November 1. It includes four weeks of rotating limited-time modes and Halloween skins. The complete schedule is as follows:

• Shadow Royale (October 4 – 11) – It wouldn’t be a Fight or Fright Event without the return of Shadow Royale. For the first time in history, players hunt opponents in the glow of Olympus After Dark.
• Gun Run (October 11 – 18) – During the second week, players can’t miss the return of Gun Run. Olympus After Dark will be in rotation along with the previous two maps, including Fragment East (World’s Edge) and Skull Town (Kings Canyon).
• Control (October 18 – 25) – On October 18, players will once again get “Control” in Olympus After Dark, World’s Edge, and Storm Point.
• Shadow Royale (November 25 – November 1) – Players will return to Shadow Royale in the final week of the event to show off what they have learned.
Below you will also find information about the Fight or Fright Sale:
• New and returning skins – For four weeks, players will be able to unlock a variety of new and returning Halloween-themed skins through the “Store” tab. The new Legendary skins include ‘Inner Demon’ for Ash and ‘Bladed Wanderer’ for Seer. Players will also be able to purchase new bundles, including the Voidwalker Bundle for Wraith (October 4-11) and Memoir Noir Bundle for Pathfinder (October 11-18). In addition, there will be special discounts on Apex Packs and previously released bundles during the event.

To visually show you what the ‘Fight or Fright’ seasonal event entails, a video has been made available. You can check it below.

Apex Legends may be getting a spin-off

Our friends at SamaGame had a great chat with the director of Apex Legends: Chad Grenier. Here he said that Respawn already has content ready up to and including season 12 (something we already knew), but that they are also thinking a lot about what else they want with the franchise:

“Right now we’re a battle royale game. I think if you look into the future, we have a lot of conversations of, you know, should we expand beyond battle royale? We have this roster of legends that people love – how else can we use them? I think looking into the future, you’re probably going to see the game becoming more than just a battle royale game. You see we have all these LTMs and other ways to play. I think that’s a great starting point.”

Of course, no one knows exactly what this means, but it wouldn’t be crazy to think that other PvP modes or even a PvE mode are in the pipeline. In fact, the studio behind Titanfall 2 has experience with narrative games, so a single-player experience wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

The seventh season of Apex Legends starts tomorrow!

Apex Legends may get fewer new characters in the future

Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter, has already arrived at season thirteen. As usual, another Legend will be introduced this season and it’s now Newcastle’s turn, who has already shown some of his tricks recently. The game launched in 2019 with twelve playable characters and with the arrival of Newscastle, we are now at twenty-one.

In an interview with Dextero, Senior Character Designer Devan McGuire says Apex Legends may get fewer new characters in the future. It is becoming increasingly difficult to come up with ‘unique characters’ that are not ‘too powerful or too niche’. According to McGuire, there will eventually be a “breaking point” where adding a new character is no longer possible without upsetting the balance of the game.

Apex Legends Mobile is getting soft launch in select countries

Respawn Entertainment is working with a Chinese partner on the mobile version of Apex Legends. The mobile game is now gearing up for release in select countries.

In the announcement of the Respawn writes that the game will only be available for Android users in a selected number of countries soon. These are players in Argentina, Singapore, Australia, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and New Zealand. It is not yet known when the game will be made available worldwide and for iOS players.

Mobile developers usually launch their products with a to test the app usage and spending habits of players. Australia and New Zealand in particular are popular test markets. Since the game is already completely ready, we can expect a global launch later in 2022.

Apex Legends Mobile was officially unveiled by Electronic Arts in 2019, since then very little news has come out about the mobile game. The developer did confirm that the game has no crossplay and Apex Mobile is separate from the console and PC version.

Apex Legends Mobile is getting paid cosmetics

The mobile game will be free-to-play with paid players, just like the console and PC versions. Earlier, Respawn Entertainment reiterated its commitment to avoid monetization via. It was also mentioned that this rule also applies to Apex Legends Mobile.

Apex Legends Mobile soft launch delayed by one week

The release of Apex Legends Mobile was originally scheduled for this week, but Respawn Entertainment has decided to postpone the mobile version of the wildly popular battle royale game by a week.

The reason for the delay is according to Respawns declaration because of the “current events in the world”, which no doubt refers to the current war situation. The developer did not go into further detail about the reason for the delay.

So Apex Legends Mobile is now available in Argentina, Australia, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, the Philippines and Singapore from March 7, 2022. Other parts of the world will unfortunately have to wait for the global release, which has not yet been set a date.

Apex Legends Mobile will be available worldwide on May 17

You will not have missed the success of Apex Legends and a mobile version has been in the works for some time now. Earlier this month it was reported that Apex Legends Mobile would be released in May and the release date has finally been announced. You can win your first victory with one of your favorite Legends on May 17th.

Apex Legends Mobile will therefore be launched next Tuesday with 10 available Legends. Unfortunately, only the characters from the original Battle Royale experience, but favorites such as Wraith, Octane, Bloodhound and Pathfinder are present in any case. The game has also been completely recreated with the mobile experience in mind to give players the best experience possible.

Furthermore, players of the mobile version can get started with the classic editions of King’s Canyon and World’s Edge. Exclusive and unique content such as modes and Battle Passes will also be included. Players who pre-register will receive some unique in-game extras. Finally, you can watch the launch trailer for Season 1 of Apex Legends Mobile below.

Apex Legends Mobile will be released worldwide this month

Respawn Entertainment has been working on a mobile version of Apex Legends for a while now and the game is already available in some countries. The developer is currently preparing for a worldwide release, which will take place this month on both Android and iOS, Respawn Entertainment has announced.

However, a specific release date has not yet been mentioned, but given that we are now in May, it will not be long before we hear more about that. This news comes from Jordan Patz, mobile design director, who recently managed to share this during a panel.

“I’m excited to announce, finally, that Apex Legends Mobile will be coming to all players worldwide in May,”

It’s an exciting time for our team right now. We’re wrapping up soft launch and we’ve learned a lot about the game in a short period.”

Last Saturday, numerous rumors appeared on the internet about Apex Legends, a free battle royale game set in the Titanfall universe that would be released on February 4. This has now proven to be true, because Apex Legends is now playable.

Apex Legends takes the concept of battle royale as we know it from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite, but developer Respawn Entertainment adds its own twist. You choose from one of eight playable heroes, also known as the eponymous Legends. Each one has its own skills and playing style.

The Legends you can choose from are Bangalore, Bloodhound, Caustic, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Mirage, Pathfinder and Wraith. As mentioned, they all have their own specializations. For example, Bloodhound can see recent enemy team activity on the map, and Lifeline can protect team members and .

These Legends compete in teams of three and the last one standing wins the round. It is important to coordinate the Legends in your team so that you can kill others as efficiently as possible.

Another change compared to games like PUBG and Fortnite is that you choose in advance where you will land as a team. This way you have full control over where you drop and you can immediately plan your strategy: do you confront others to get the best score or do you prefer to be a bit more tactical and let other teams kill each other first?

Apex Legends also contains Respawn Beacons, where you can revive team members once. In addition, in the free-to-play title you can indicate where enemies, weapons and other interesting things can be found at the touch of a button. Finally, Apex Legends distinguishes itself by an intelligent inventory system: equipment you pick up is directly linked to the right weapons.

Since Apex Legends is an online game, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions require a subscription to Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus respectively. Furthermore, the game is free to play, but does contain cosmetic microtransactions. However, you can also earn these by playing the game.

As we are used to in the gaming industry these days, Apex Legends is also one that will have multiple seasons. The first of these starts next month and will have a Battle Pass that gives you access to items themed to the season in question.

Apex Legends has been released for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Apex Legends passes the 100 million unique player mark

Battle Royale is and remains an immensely popular game mode. Just look at the number of gamers who obsessively scour the island in Fortnite, or roam Verdansk night after night in Call of Duty: Warzone. And then of course you also have Apex Legends, the Battle Royale title from Respawn Entertainment, which recently achieved a remarkable milestone.

The developer proudly announces that Apex Legends has surpassed 100 million unique players. A truly impressive figure, especially if you take into account that the game has only been on the virtual store shelves for just over two years. To celebrate this achievement, Respawn has put together a video. Those interested can do that here to look at.

Apex Legends passes the 25 million player mark

There simply doesn’t seem to be an end to the legendary success of Apex Legends. While the game attracted more than 2.5 million players within one day and a mere 10 million players two days later, the game managed to reach the legendary milestone of more than 25 million players in just one week.

The founder of development studio Respawn Entertainment, Vince Zampella, announced the happy occasion on the Electronic Arts website and posted a tweet on his personal account:

Been waiting all day to tell you this madness… @PlayApex hit 25 million players this morning. Read more about it at the link below. Remember we have Season One starting in March and more surprises coming. https://t.co/gwj1sZSQnY

— Vince Zampella (@VinceZampella) February 11, 2019

Zampella wasn’t the only one to express his gratitude for the huge number of players. Publisher Electronic Arts and Respawn also made themselves heard through official channels, with the biggest gesture turning out to be an explosive Week One in Review video, full of highlights of those that helped drive Apex’s success:

At the time of writing, the game manages to connect around two million simultaneous sessions during peak times, and this number only seems to continue to rise.

Apex Legends will get a new season starting in March and, like the other upcoming seasons, it should last about three months. The intention is that new content will continue to be added to the game.

Apex Legends provided with second patch

Developer Respawn Entertainment has released a new update for Apex Legends. The fresh patch is the second for Apex Legends since the game’s launch. The patch was made available this morning for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Good news for the 25 million gamers who have played Apex Legends.

The second patch for Apex Legends brings various fixes for all platforms. Still, the main purpose of the patch is to fix crashes of the PlayStation 4 version. Apparently, this is why the GPU hangs or the game can crash if you press a button while loading.

View the compact below:

PS4
Addresses issues we saw with GPU hangs.
Fixed crash when pressing button early in load process.

All platforms
Fixed issue where players would sometimes move slowly after revive.
Fixed issue with Mirage Ability causing crashes.
Fixed issue with Gibraltar Epic skins on Xbox One causing crashes

Is Apex Legends really as brilliant as millions of gamers claim? You can read that in our extensive Apex Legends review.

Apex Legends PS5 version has surfaced

A PS5 version of Apex Legends has surfaced in PlayStation’s database. This means that the battle royale game will probably get the next-gen update soon.

A Playstation 5 version of Apex Legends has surfaced in the PlayStation Network database. That reports the Twitter account PlayStation Game Size. According to the account, the game would be over 80GB in Sony’s database.

At this time, Apex Legends only supports the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game, but will work on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S through backwards compatibility. This allows you to play the shooter at 60 frames per second on next-gen consoles, but doesn’t offer any new bonuses like adaptive triggers or haptic feedback for the PS5’s controller.

Apex Legends could potentially take a similar path to Call of Duty: Warzone. For example, Respawn Entertainment, the developer of Apex Legends, wants to ensure that next-gen players can play at 120 FPS, just like in Warzone. A higher one can mean the difference between life and death in a fast-paced and competitive battle royale game.

Next-gen update coming soon?

When the next-gen update will be available to players is not yet known. It probably won’t be long now. The update was announced back in February 2021, and it was announced at the end of last year that the studio was still working on the update.

Apex Legends Review – Fresh wind blowing through the battle royale genre

After spending hours on battle royale games like Fortnite and PUBG, it’s time for a breath of fresh air in the battle royale genre. Apex Legends, from the creators of Titanfall, brings a fresh, yet familiar feel to battle royale games. The game also has a number of nice additions, as you can read in this Apex Legends review.

While making this Apex Legends review, we dive into the next level battle royale game with a futuristic touch. For a battle royale game, Apex Legends still has some story to it, but not much. Apex Legends, from the creators of Titanfall, is set 30 years after the events of Titanfall. There are no Titans to parade around in.

The goal of the massively large battles with up to 60 players is to collect money, but also compete for the fame that comes with the winner, so much for the Apex Legends storyline. This is immediately apparent when starting the game.

It is said that the Legends (which are the characters you play as) all participate for different reasons. One participates for the fame and another character participates again because he has no choice. In the further course of Apex Legends you hardly notice these stories, there is no story mode either.

Apex Legends jump master

A very nice addition in Apex Legends is the option to designate a Jumpmaster. Before your squad (which consists of three players including yourself) jumps out of the plane, a Jumpmaster is selected. This person determines during the dive to the surface where the entire squad will land.

The assigned jumpmaster in turn can also decline the role, after which someone else will be assigned the role. During the dive, the other two squad members can indicate where they prefer to land and they can also break from the group and find their own way down.

Nice gameplay with a mix of different games

While making the Apex Legends Review we dive into the mega map that looks a lot like Titanfall. Similar structures and graphics can be found in Titanfall 1 and 2. The tall buildings on which free-run activities are performed are only missing in Apex Legends. Free-running is also not possible, which is a pity. A large open map with a lot of space gives a lot of opportunity for all kinds of aerial antics.

The ability to choose from 8 Legends that all have their own skills reminds us of Overwatch’s character system, unlike other battle royale games, where your character is only cosmetic.

Extensive environments

Just like in Fortnite, the ring where the game continues is getting smaller and smaller. The map is laid out similar to other battle royale games. You have a number of hotspots where there is a lot of housing and where you can probably find more loot and there are large open spaces where you have to watch out that no one sees you. The pace is quite fast and it usually doesn’t take long until you encounter another squad.

There are also a number of key points on the map that can help you and your squad progress through the game. During the jump to the map, the Supply Ship flies around which you can also land on. Useful pieces of loot can be found here such as weapons, armor and health kits.

You can also see on the enlarged map in the menu that a blue circle appears every now and then. In this zone you have the chance to find better weapons with additional modifications, called hot zones. That is also one of the nice additions to Apex Legends, even if you have picked up a weapon, you can change a lot about the weapon, such as adding another magazine or putting a new scope on it. With most shooter games this is only possible before the game starts and with Fortnite, for example, you have no choice and you have to use the weapon how you picked it up.

During the match, crates with extra loot often land on the map, these so-called Supply drops are essential for the smooth running of the match, as they usually contain better loot than what you are currently carrying with you. So don’t be too slow to get to these Supply drops, as these are highly sought after items in Apex Legends.

Essential items to have

In addition to an arsenal of weapons that you can pick up, there are also important items that you will need. The most important of these are the armor, helmet medkits and shieldcells, which replenish your shield and health. There are different tiers of all these items, one of which gives more benefits than the other.

Important to know is, if you have picked up a shield cell you cannot use it yet. You must first have body armor on and only then can you replenish your shield. So first look for body armor and later focus on the shieldcells.

The pace is quite high and especially at the beginning of the game. If you land in a densely populated area, you can take poison from encountering another squad. so start looking for items as quickly as possible, or try to land in a less dense area.

Apex Legends weapons are divided into 6 categories: Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Pistols, Light Machine Guns, Submachine Guns, and Assault Rifles. There are 2 to 4 weapons within these categories, with a surprisingly large number of skins for each weapon to unlock. Weapon attachments cannot be chosen in advance, you will find them during the game.

A very unfortunate addition to Apex Legends are the microtransactions. Players can purchase Apex Coins with real money, which can be used to purchase skins for weapons and characters. Apex Packs can also be purchased with this.

It is a pity that more and more games are offering the option to make microtransactions. Who needs to pay 7.50 euros to play as a new character? Fortunately, all skins and characters can also be earned by just playing, but it will take a little longer.

The makers of Apex Legends promise that when opening Apex Packs there will be at least one Rare item per Pack, when opening these packs they more than live up to it so far. the drop rate of Rare items and above is also quite high, you get more Rare items than you got useless junk. Furthermore, a Legendary will be released per 30 Packs, guaranteed.

Communication is very important in Apex Legends

Communication within Apex Legends is very important. it is possible, among other things, to indicate that there is a weapon or ammunition somewhere. Your Legend therefore calls out specifically what is on the ground. You can also indicate where you want to navigate to or you can let your squad know that you have just seen an enemy.

Indicating where enemy players are is very important for communication within the squad. It can just happen that you are faced with surprises without communicating.

Enough variation in characters

The different characters you can choose from are the so-called Legends, each of which has unique skills and powers. When you start Apex Legends, 6 of the 8 Legends are available to choose. The remaining two can be purchased with in-game currency or by purchasing Apex Coins with real money.

The playable characters of Apex Legends are well balanced, but it becomes clear during gameplay that some skills are more useful than others. The ability to see everyone for a short period of time, even through walls and buildings comes in handy more than the ability to drop a bombardment of explosive missiles on your enemies.

After playing for a few hours and collecting enough in-game currency it was finally possible to unlock the last two characters. The two characters Caustic and Mirage both give a new twist to Apex Legends in their own way.

For example, Caustic can spread poisonous gas canisters across the playing field and Mirage has a very handy skill where you put a holographic version of yourself on the map. Our experience shows that of the last two characters, Mirage’s skills are more effective than Caustic’s. Mirage’s ultimate is that he can spawn a whole group of decoys.

Apex Legends Review – The battle royale game we’ve been waiting for

Between the overwhelming violence of battle royale games like Fortnite and PUBG, Apex Legends tries to give a breath of fresh air to the genre. Apex Legends also succeeds quite well with several features that make the game a pleasure to play. Adding the so-called gives a nice team feeling to your squad, so you avoid having to run fifty kilometers to the other side of the map to revive someone who then doesn’t do you the same service and only goes looking for the best loot.

Furthermore, the playable characters with unique skills are a nice new addition that gives more variation in character building. It is a pity that the microtransactions are also present in this battle royale game, but we can rest assured since the loot is only cosmetic. Apex Legends combines many nice features that already exist in various games. A good balance between beautiful graphics and good features makes Apex Legends a very good addition to the battle royale genre.

8.5

The pluses and minuses

  • Innovative features
  • Beautiful graphics
  • Good character variation
  • Cool gear

  • Loot Packs are cosmetic only
  • Only one mode

  • Microtransactions
  • No free run option

Apex Legends Season 18 Trailer Showcases Revenant’s New Abilities

Apex Legends is almost ready for season number 18, which will start on August 8 and is called ‘Resurrection’. This new season will continue the story and to get an impression EA has released a new trailer, which you can check out below.

Together with the images, the publisher has also shared an overview of the most important points, so that you get a clear picture of the upcoming season:

  • Revenant is reborn Brimming with rage and a broken spirit, this season Revenant gains a dangerous new look and deadly new abilities that give him an overwhelming advantage over his prey. In addition to Revenant being available to all players throughout the season, players will gain permanent access by completing a series of challenges during the new season. To do this, they must master the new skills:
    • Passive: “Assassin’s Instinct” – Revenant can mark nearby low-life enemies. He can also walk faster while crouching and climbs walls better than anyone else.
    • Tactical: “Shadow Pounce” – Revenant can make a powerful leap forward to close the distance between him and his prey.
    • Ultimate: “Forged Shadows” – Revenant creates a veil of shadow around him, which blocks damage and allows him to replenish his health. This shadow and its tactical are updated when it knocks an enemy to the ground.
  • Mixtape on Broken Moon – The popular game mode lands on Broken Moon. Players have the option to throw themselves into Gun Run and Team Deathmatch in The Core or play a game of Control in the Production Yard.

  • Resurrection Battle Pass – New weapon skins, Legend skins, emotes and much more will be released along with August 8.

Apex Legends Season 2 will be revealed at EA Play 2019

Just as Fortnite developer Epic Games received some nasty reports about the working practices surrounding their battle royale game, Respawn suddenly comes out with more positive sounds and reflections on their own Apex Legends. In a recent blog post, the development studio is more transparent about the state of affairs, with of course also more promises for the future.

In addition to the obligatory words about tackling cheaters and expressions of gratitude for the millions of players, Respawn reveals more about the upcoming second “season” of Apex Legends. We should see more of this at the upcoming EA Play in June (at the time of E3 2019), but even now the development studio wants to pass on a number of rules of thumb for the seasons.

For example, each next season must bring at least one new Legend and a new twist for the meta, but the content of the associated (paid) Battle Pass must also be expanded. After all, this debuted somewhat weakly in terms of rewards to be achieved and Respawn will from now on take those complaints into future seasons, they say.

In addition, Respawn immediately teases something new for Season 2 of Apex Legends. The words are not really tangible yet, but apparently the well-known battlefield of King’s Canyon is not forever. The development team may want to experiment with a fluid shooting arena from this second season, just like major competitor Fortnite has been playing with its battlefield for some time.

What exactly is about to change is still quite mysterious. We will undoubtedly hear more at this year’s EA Play festivities, although for the first time this year there will be no real press conference.

Bombastic show or not, by then you will of course read the latest Apex Legends news here, on SamaGame.

Apex Legends season 9 will be all about new Titanfall content

As you may know, Apex Legends takes place in the same universe of Respawn Entertainment’s first game: Titanfall. The latter franchise will remain in the drawer for the time being, so that Respawn can fully focus on expanding Apex Legends, but the American studio has certainly not forgotten Titanfall.

In fact, it looks like the developer will increasingly intertwine the two franchises in the upcoming season – the ninth already. Apex Legends director Chad Grenier recently announced in a BrownGirlGamerCode stream that season 9 will focus on Titanfall-related content.

“Next season, Season 9, you’re actually going to see a ton of Titanfall coming back into the game, in one way or another. I’ve told some people before, if you’re a Titanfall fan, hang on for Season 9 because there’s going to be some really cool stuff there.”

We’ll have to wait and see if that means we’ll soon be able to unleash the enormous Titans on the battlefield. After all, Grenier has previously indicated that this is a possibility, perhaps as a separate mode within Apex Legends.

Apex Legends second season starts July 2

Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have provided more information about the second season of Apex Legends. During EA Play in Los Angeles, a lot of new content was revealed for the next season called Battle Charge.

First of all, a new season means a new one and it will be much more attractive than the heavily criticized first pass. Once again you have the entire season to reach level one hundred, but it goes a lot faster with the addition of daily and weekly challenges. Completing these challenges will give you a big boost in your progression and the best part is that you can’t miss them. Weekly challenges do not disappear but are saved, so that you can still achieve everything at a later time.

The battle pass is guaranteed to contain 4 legendary skins, for Octane, Caustic, Spitfire and R301 Carbine, and enough to create a fifth skin once you reach level 100. A lot of cool content is also being added for Apex Legends fans without a battle pass. In addition to the new character Wattson, weapons are also added to the game.

The new weapon is the L-Star and this mega powerful one is only available from a care package. The L-Star is fully automatic and so powerful that it can break doors. Two unknown Hop-ups have also been announced, one of which finally seems to make Mozambique useful. We will get more information about this later.

Finally, a ranked mode will also be added on July 2, to show your skills at the highest level. There are six tiers ranging from Bronze to the highest level Apex Predator. At the end of the season, your progress will be rewarded with another unknown reward.

All in all, it is a big update and some things were teased during the conference, including something with large flying monsters. We may see this later, but on July 2, Season 2 Battle Charge will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Sony is already announcing free PlayStation Plus games for November

Sony is remarkably early this month in revealing the free PlayStation Plus games for November. Normally this is announced the Wednesday before the first Tuesday of the following month, but there is already an image on the official PlayStation site showing two of the free games for November.

First of all, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, the over-the-top shooter that was released in 2011 on the previous generation of consoles. This remaster was released last year and can be downloaded for free from next month, provided you have a PlayStation Plus subscription.

The other free game is Yakuza Kiwami. It is the remaster of the very first Yakuza game, but given a new look with today’s graphics. This well-received game has also only been on the market in the West for a year, so once again a great gift from PlayStation.

Most likely, the rest of the free games list will be revealed later this month, as the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita normally also get two free games. Don’t forget to get the free games from PlayStation Plus this month, including Friday the 13th: The Game.

53 great PS4 games with Cross-Buy on PlayStation Vita that you might not remember

Several years have passed since Sony got out of the PS Vita car, although there are many studies indies that they continue to take it into account in the face of conversions in their most recent work. For many it’s true he’s dead, but that doesn’t mean he’s not « alive » for another sector that loves notebooks.

There is actually one facet that is always forgotten: Cross-purchase with PS4. A feature where, for the payment of a product, we are given the possibility (free) of being able to play it on another console of the PlayStation family. Usually with PS Vita, although the PS3 has also benefited a lot. Today we will review many PS4 games that you can play in portable mode with your PS Vita, if you keep it still … Because the console is discontinued.

New graphic adventures and other classics

Being a touchscreen console, Graphical Adventures is one of the genres best suited to the PS Vita. And over there Double Fine Productions is the most contributing studio, saving three classics from LucasArts and one of their classics released in 2015.

We discussed the Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, and Full Throttle updates as well as the KickStarter, Broken Age twist. Unfortunately, Revolution Software did not do the same with Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse, by not having Cross-Buy. But this is one of the few exceptions. For example, eschatology Demetrios: THE GREAT Cynical Adventureyes you have it.

Sometimes these were late conversions, such as remake of the mythical Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, renamed Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty, two years behind the original PS4 version. A platform adventure to hit the coconut and save Abe’s companions. And f**t. A lot.

We cannot forget a video game considered to be art (one of the first to appear in the exhibition at the prestigious MoMA), Another World.

On the PlayStation Store …

Metroidvanias, roguelikes and action platforms

A genre that is experiencing its second youth today is that of metroidvania, with more exhibitors than ever and with a variety worthy of note, with more crazy and refreshing proposals. And there are several that luckily also came out on PS Vita with Cross-Buy between PS4. Here, yes, like the rest of the games we list, it should be noted that Cross-Buy only applies to digital purchases. The physical purchases are not worth it.

The case is that we electrify Teslagrad at retro-metroid Axiom Verge, going through the TimeSpinner temporal paradoxes, with other notables like Chasm, Iconoclasts or, more importantly, SteamWorld Dig 2. Because this sequel left layers behind what was seen in the first SteamWorld Dig. And what about the hilarious Unepic, the great adventure of Francisco Tellez de Meneses?

If we expand into more action and platform variants, with a few titles with notes of roguelike, we have one of the best games ever (besides the best remake possible), most of Spelunky. Or that Rogue Legacy whose legacy continues to grow. Even that Souls in 2D called Salt & Sanctuary, with additional mention for Killed: back from h**l, who was polite.

In the purest part of the platform there are more jewels Inde timeless, like Super Meat Boy, Knight’s shovel or Fez. And in its party style, almost no game can beat TowerFall Ascension. Without ignoring this tribute to the history of consoles which bears the name of Super Life of Pixel (very informative, if we are patient) or how addicting it is to immerse yourself without stopping Downwell.

Even with a ’90s spirit and bombproof difficulty, we have the very demanding (but aesthetically ugly to rage) Volgarr le Viking and this little pixelated wonder that responds to the name of Mercenary kings.

Matamarcianos, shooters, fight them and beat them

The PlayStation Vita surprised us by adapting (with some performance limitations, of course) Hits PS4, like the best game it had when it debuted in late 2013: Resogun. A great housemarque matamarcianos that ended up doing honor by seeing the content expanded with DLC.

The s*x of the mantamarcianos It had a really good representation on this laptop and with Cross-Buy, like this Locomalito wonder that takes us back to our childhood (Super Hydorah) or the very original PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate. And with the touch of color brought by the likable Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender DX, an exceptional student of the legendary Defender by Eugene Jarvis from 1981.

If we go to shooters From another angle and with this desire to release adrenaline without asking questions, both Miami Hotline like Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, they take the cake when it comes to immediacy. And with Nuclear Throne as one of the absolute references of roguelikes that leave Gauntlet in layers.

We cannot ignore, even if we didn’t love her as much as Magicka, that Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers and his destructive four-group friendships, while for the fight lovers there is the seer Skullgirls 2nd Againon the one hand and the Beat them brazilian retro fit 99Vies on another side.

Adventures, RPGs and other very diverse genres

To top it off, we could include genres as disparate as role-playing games with Sandbox, extreme sports and endless runner musical comedies. Where do we start? For example, inside the RPG is the gem Darkest Dungeon, the Japanese veteran Origine Ys or that atypical Inde that revolutionized the industry, Undertale.

In adventures we can go from the intimate Alone with you even the evocative Bastion, with the touch of Boss rush by Titan Souls. Or directly say goodbye to our social life with the Stardew Valley simulator. As if we were going straight Sandbox with 8 and 16-bit spirit, like Retro City Rampage DX and its spiritual successor, Shakedown: Hawaii, riddled with winks everywhere.

What do we prefer rarities? There is the histrionic and pulperil Octodad: Dadliest Catch, ou le fantastic Light spear, where to test our goal with the spear. Otherwise, we can choose the turn-based strategy of Steamworld heist.

What if we want something more alive? Or we opt for the skate arcade d’OlliOlli and OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood; or by the musical rhythm of BIT.TRIP présente… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien o NecroDancer crypt.

Are there more Cross-Buy games between PS4 and Vita?

Despite Sony not giving it the hype it should and in PlayStation Store, the list released in Spain doesn’t even reach a quarter of what actually exists (over 200 games with Cross-Buy), we left out a lot to focus on the most recommended ones, Hateful boyfriend have your audience. We have the winner Thomas was alone, for example.

Currently the editor Ratalaika Games is the one that brings out, by far, more games with Cross-Buy for PS Vita. In fact, rare is the month where no one comes out and with twice as many Platinum Trophies (one for PS4 and one for Vita), being, to top it off, one of the easiest to obtain. But at least some games are popular, like Super Destronaut DX. And their prices don’t exceed 5 eurosgo

As with other studies, we have seen more recent and visually valuable titles, such as the follow-up to Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, to others from generations past, such as Cel Damage HD, what would be the (unofficial) game of Crazy cars. The list is huge, but What other video games would you name?

Avalanche of news about Xbox. The Verge media outlet has published a series of internal emails between company executives that allow us know your strategy in depth when it comes to launching its Xbox Series X and S, which is accompanied by future tactics and some curious anecdotes. Because, according to this email chain, even Phil Spencer has a PS5 with which to play regularly, but the Xbox boss had to buy a ‘bundle’ with Horizon: Forbidden West to access the new generation of PlayStation.

But Spencer does not tell this experience to maintain contact with his colleagues, but rather it is an interesting fact to take into account about Sony’s strategy. In this sense, and as expected, Microsoft has been closely following in PlayStation’s footsteps with the promotion and launch of PS5 back in 2020, including its performance during component shortages: “Sony has been forcing a bundle with Horizon: Zero Dawn for an additional $50 since a time ago. I bought my PS5 two weeks ago and the only option available was the Horizon: Zero Dawn pack for $549.” Here it is important to mention that the head of Xbox is referring to Horizon: Forbidden West, as it is Aloy’s second adventure that It was included in the PS5 bundles.

Xbox has been attentive to the launch of PS5 and its price increase

It is normal for companies to study in detail any movement of their competitor, so it does not surprise us to know that Phil Spencer has been commenting with Liz Hamren (former head of platform and hardware engineering at Xbox) PS5 news compared to what is offered with Xbox Series X. All this, of course, based on information published by PlayStation in 2020, before the official launch of its console.

In fact, the team admits the good work of PlayStation regarding aspects such as SSD performance on PS5, although much of the conversation is censored. And, as you can imagine, the PS5 price increase has also given a lot to talk about in the Xbox offices; Tim Stuart, CFO, notified Spencer and CFO Amy Hood of Sony’s decision after raising the cost of its next-generation console, highlighting that the team “I had anticipated this and it is moving quickly towards a plan, now that we’ve seen confirmation.

After this, those from Redmond have remained attentive to all the PlayStation news regarding prices and Spencer has chosen to continue a strategy focused on consumer satisfaction. Ami Silverman, who was head of sales and marketing at Microsoft, responded to the Xbox boss by saying that “they are all good points, let’s be obsessed with the players here, since we are not out of the woods… We know that this may be the time to win fans vs. losing as a follower”

PlayStation 5 Pro and Slim may come next year

Wow! A rumor from an unexpected source! Sony is said to have already started developing the PlayStation 5 Pro and the console should be released at the end of 2023.

In November 2020, Sony released the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 and this was in the middle of the infamous pandemic. As a result, many gamers have still not managed to get their hands on a console. Not only corona, but also delivery problems and the lack of certain hardware means that the stock is still not in order.

According to rumors, Sony is currently developing the Pro version of the PS5 and it should be released in late 2023 or early 2024. The new console would be two times faster than the current PS5 and ray tracing would be 2.5 times faster. The new AMD chip would be based on 5nm, but another source reports that this would still be on 4nm. The PS5 Pro will therefore focus more on ray tracing, as well as robust support for the virtual reality headset.

Not only the PS5 Pro is said to be in development, but the PS5 Slim is also said to have been brought into the development process by Sony. The PS5 Slim should be released around the same time as the PS5 Pro.

On paper it may seem absurd that the mid-gen consoles should be released sometime in 2023, but if Sony follows the same path as they did with the PS4, then the time frame makes sense. The PS4 Pro was released exactly three years after the PS4. A launch in November 2023 for the PS5 Pro and Slim does not seem so crazy.

Endless stuttering – PlayStation Portal players report unplayable lag

PlayStation Portal

The Nintendo Switch really let the cat out of the bag when it made decent portable gaming possible. Many other brands have since tried to copy this blockbuster. While the Steam Deck is undoubtedly one of the best received, brands like PlayStation have tried their luck with the PS Portal.

Even though the handheld has been well received by critics, it has caused quite a few laughs and memes among fans. This is not only because it is a remote handheld, meaning it is completely useless outside of the house, but also because it looks very much like a Nintendo Switch.

Since the console has just been released, it’s understandable that there are still bugs that need to be fixed. However, some users report unbearable stuttering, as can be read on social media.

PlayStation Portal players report unplayable lag

Twitter user @PowerstancePino shared a clip showing Horizon Forbidden West running on the PS handheld and we have to admit, it looks very lame. If you’re just walking around, the lag is annoying, but not too much of a hindrance. But when you’re in the middle of a fight, lag can be fatal for your character.

“,” @ItsMrProducts said in response to the Twitter post. “” With the Switch you have the games with you, either via digital download or via card. However, with Remote Play you stream them on your device, similar to streaming PS games.

Considering PS is marketing this game as an “immersive” experience, it doesn’t bode well if players can’t fully immerse themselves in the game because it plays like a PS1 title. This is arguably another blow to Sony after PS Plus fans threatened to cancel their subscription. The latter happened after a series of games didn’t work yet again. Fortunately, the lag isn’t proving to be a problem for all users, which offers a small glimmer of hope.

You can see the post here

I fear a lot of people who don’t really understand what the PlayStation Portal is will have this sort of experience. Remote Play has always been shaky for me, despite having 140Mbps down, and 30Mbps up. https://t.co/NtRluw8nPx

Can I use PlayStation Portal away from home? We solve this and 15 other questions about the new PS5 portable device


Is it a new PSVita? Perhaps the return of the mythical PSP? A bit of everything and nothing at the same time. PlayStation Portal, which became known a few months ago as Project Q, revealed its letters yesterday announcing price, Specifications, compatibilities and one nice list of features that has made many doubt. Is it a console itself or a console for the cloud? Today we are going to reveal all the details and clear 16 doubts that you may have

What is PlayStation Portal?

First you have to make the official presentations. For practical purposes, PS Portal is a portable device for streaming Official Japanese brand, nothing from secondary hardware or third-party companies, with one promise: play all PS5 games wherever you want. An extension of the portable console concept that does not reproduce the games natively.

Price and release date of PS Portal

The formerly known as Project Q seemed like it was going to avoid a launch this 2023, but nothing could be further from the truth. It will arrive at a slightly less competitive price than we might expect, €219.99 ($199.99), and will do so at some point in the last third of 2023.

It will arrive at a price of 219.99 euros sometime in the last third of 2023

Can I play in the cloud?

No. PS Portal not a device game in the cloud. It’s not like Xbox’s Cloud Gaming or future PlayStation service is a console. PS Portal needs to be connected to the network and thanks to it will broadcast the games already installed on PS5.

Can it be used to play away from home?

YeahPlayStation Portal can be wear out of home, although it is a device designed entirely to work at home, be it on the sofa, the toilet or in your bed. A somewhat strange concept that is answered by connectivity and the need to have a PS5.

Minimum and recommended Wi-Fi broadband

As we have mentioned, it is mandatory to connect it to a Wi-Fi network to play, but not to the same one as your PS5 console. This is good news since Remote Play does have that obligation. PS Plus broadcasts the games over the network and you need to have an access point with these characteristics:

  • Minimum 5 Mbps broadband.
  • Recommended 15Mbps for correct use.

PlayStation warns that while you can connect to public networks like a shopping center or a train, the quality will be diminished, although you already knew that.

Do I need a PS5 to play? Does it need to be on?

yes to both. Actually, the full name is PlayStation Portal Remote Player, and these last two words are key here. It is basically the Remote Play function of PS5 and PS4, but made a device. not a hardware completely independent and you need to have the games already installed on PS5 to play them over the Internet, as well as the PS5 on and connected to Wi-Fi or network cable.

Do PS4 games work?

Yes and no. PS Portal can’t connect to PS4 for obvious reasons, but those installed games on your PS5 that are for ps4 yes they can be retransmitted to the device.

Can I install games on it? Do you have storage space?

To both questions, no. Can’t install games,It does not have built-in storage or that we can expand with an SD card.

Does it keep the features of DualSense?

Yeah, although the details have not been specified. Both haptic vibrations Like the adaptive triggers are present in PS Portal. It’s almost like the PS5 controller has been expanded at its center with a screen. It works just like a normal DualSense.

Do I need a subscription to PS Plus?

No, using PlayStation Portal Remote Player does not require any PlayStation Plus membership. It’s just like using the Remote Play feature, which requires no additional payment of any kind. Of course, the online games yes They need a subscription to PS Plus like any other, but having an active membership on PS5 is enough.

It is not a completely independent hardware and you need to have the games already installed on PS5

Do you have Bluetooth?

YeahPS Portal has bluetooth connection, although we do not know what type of connection it offers. Of course, as in all official devices, only official accessories via Bluetooth will work.

Can I connect my headset to PS Portal?

Regarding the connectivity of the helmets, we can connect headphones to your connection 3.5 jack wired, but the problems begin if we want to use them wirelessly. Although the console has a Bluetooth connection, we cannot connect the original PS5 Pulse 3D that was released in 2021 because they require the official PlayStation dongle that Can not connect to device.

To use wireless audio you need the most recent Tap Elite and Tap Explore as these connect to the PS Portal using playstation link. These also connect to PS5 via dongle if we want.

Is it compatible with PS VR and PS VR2?

I wish, but No. It would be the most complete device, but we ran out of support. PS Portal it will not work with those games that require a VR helmet (PlayStation VR or PlayStation VR2) or any additional peripherals.

Resolution, Display and FPS Specs

Something more informative than the above. The PS Plus device is slightly larger in size than the Nintendo Switch (both the standard model, as well as Lite and OLED) or Steam Deck. This screen is LCD of 8 inches, 60hz and with a maximum resolution of 1080p. In addition, PS Plus is prepared to broadcast games to 60FPS Full HD, as long as the title gives the option.

Can I connect it to another TV and use the PS Portal as a controller?

No. That’s why we have our PS5. PlayStation Portal is the escape route if you have the console connected to the TV in the living room and someone else wants to use it. You can play while someone else uses the TV the console is connected to, but not broadcast the image to another screen.

What is the battery life?

Per se, we do not know, but we can make estimates. Basically, PlayStation claims that a normal DualSense has a life of 6 to 12 hours before charging. Although we know that this varies, and a lot, I propose an exercise: how long does your PS5 controller normally last? That’s the PS Portal battery. Simple. Of course, to load it, it has USB Type-C.

PlayStation 5 version of Outer Wilds gets additional graphics modes for better performance


Outer Wilds also got a native PlayStation 5 version last September, but this one brought with it an annoying problem. The game suffered from stuttering gameplay. To solve this, a hotfix is ​​now available, which offers you two extra graphics modes.

The PS5 version of Outer Wilds ran at a dynamic 4K resolution and tried to hit 60fps. However, this often did not work and that resulted in a very unsettled picture. After updating, you can now choose to play the game in 4K at 30 frames per second or 1440p at 60fps. In these modes, the frame rate will be stable.

Mobile Games also reports that the original 4K/60fps mode is still present and is mainly aimed at gamers who have a TV with VRR support. This smooths out the stutters in the frame rate.
