Minecraft update today (9th December): What changes in the Mounts of Mayhem patch notes?
Riding in the desert on a camel husk with no name...
Soon you’ll be able to mount the new Minecraft update to your hard drive, so we’ve got everything you need to know about Mounts of Mayhem, including its release date, launch time and what to expect. Included is a huge improvement to horses that players have been begging Mojang to include since they were added to the game way back in 2013. But players won’t be the only ones to benefit from riding horseback (or other creatures-back, as we’ll get into), as certain mobs can get on the saddle to wreak high-speed carnage like never before, with a new weapon to boot. Will it result in something as iconic as the immortal and timeless Chicken Jockey? We’ll see, but we won’t know until the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem update, and on that note, read on! When is the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem release date? The Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem release date is Tuesday 9th December. With the holiday season upon us, we’ll hopefully have plenty of time to dive deep into the update. Perhaps an epic quest across the Overworld on our newly upgraded horses? More on that below! When is the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem launch time? Minecraft updates typically launch around 4pm GMT, but this has varied in recent times. With this in mind, we would recommend a couple hours' window before and after this time to err on the side of caution. Hopefully, it should be out in time for you coming home from work or school! For other time zones, you might expect to see the Mounts of Mayhem update go live at the following times, give or take a few hours US West Coast (PST) – 8am US Mountain (MST) – 9am US Central (CST) – 10am US East Coast (EST) – 11am Brazil (BRT) – 1pm Central Europe (CET) – 5pm South Africa (SAST) – 6pm UAE (GST) – 8pm Singapore (SGT) – 12am 10th December Japan (JST) – 1am 10th December Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 3am 10th December New Zealand (NZDT) – 5am View Riddle on the source website What to expect from Minecraft’s Mounts of Mayhem update 1.21.11 As you would expect from its name, the latest Minecraft update is all about mounts, but there are also some other goodies in there, too! Below are all the additions... Camel husks The desert husks are now even more mobile by way of camel husks. These now camel riding, sun-immune baddies wield the new spear, with camel husks able to have one or two riders. Parched A skeleton that can also be found on the back of camels. These desert skeletons are also impervious to the sun, making the desert an even more treacherous place! Spear The spear is a new weapon with two new attacks: jabbing and charging, with the latter doing damage in relation to your movement speed. Minecraft jousting tournaments, anyone? Spear Lunge enchantment The Lunge enchantment adds an element of speed to the jabbing attack, meaning you don’t need to be on a mount to do high levels of damage. Nautilus The Nautilus is a new neutral mob that players can ride underwater. When ridden, you won’t lose any more air. You can use pufferfish to tame them. View Green Video on the source website Zombie nautilus Much like the Camel husks, the zombie nautilus can often be found with drowned riding them, equipped with deadly tridents. You’ll have to knock the rider off and again tame it with pufferfish if you want to tame one. Zombie horse Appearing at night with zombies riding them, bristling with spears, these undead horses allow zombies to be far more deadly, but are easily tamed when the zombies are dispatched with. Mount improvements Horses can now swim in cool bodies of water in the Overworld, making them a far more useful mode of transport. No longer will you have to ride around bodies of water, or abandon them for a boat! Netherite horse armour Oblivion horse armour has got nothing on this! Take diamond horse armour, a Netherite upgrade smithing template and Netherite ingot to craft this swanky set of armour.

Gold Bar Overhaul To make sure everyone's on equal footing at the start of a match, Bars will no longer carry over from one match to the next.

If you want a more bite-sized version of what to expect in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1 patch notes, you can check out the Black Ops 7 roadmap ,which goes over when you can play it and what’s being added to the update. To make sure you get the most out of the update, be sure to read up on when and where to get Double XP tokens and codes in CoD BO7. It's also worth noting that before you dive into the new Zombies map, Astra Malorum, you'll want to unlock all CoD BO7 Zombies Relics. That’s quite enough waffling on from us, however. Read on to get the scoop on the full CoD BO7 Season 1 patch notes! What’s new in the CoD BO7 Season 1 patch? The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1 patch brings a whole slew of content, from new maps, challenges, weapons, game modes and more. The following maps have been added to the rotation: Utopia (6v6) Fate (6v6) Odysseus (6v6 / 2v2) Standoff (6v6) Party games make a return too, with the following modes available to play: Prop Hunt One in the Chamber Sharpshooter Sticks & Stones (Week 2) Gun Game (Week 2) CoD Zombies gets a new map, Astra Malorum, that features a new enemy, the Observation System and Carnifex Adjudicator Robot (O.S.C.A.R.). But to take them on, you can use these new weapons: Kogot-7 - SMG (Battle Pass) Maddox RFB - Assault Rifle (Battle Pass) Ballistic Knife - Melee (Weekly Challenge Reward: Week 1) NX Ravager - Special Weapon (Event Reward: Week 2) There’s also a great deal of tweaks, buffs and nerfs to weapons, attachments and perks, as the community gets to grip with new and emerging metas. But if you want to see it all in full, read on! CoD BO7 Season 1 patch notes Below are the full patch notes for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, courtesy of Activision: Weekly Challenges Complete challenges every week of the season to unlock new Loadout items, Camo rewards, and XP. Beginning with Season 01, the Weekly Challenges Menu, accessible via the Lobby or the Challenge Hub in the Career Menu, gives you the chance to earn new Attachments, Scorestreaks, Weapons, and more by completing Challenges in all modes. At the start of Season 01, immediately check the Weekly Challenge menu to see the available rewards and the challenges required to access them. Complete any six challenges across any (or all) of the four supported modes — Co-op Campaign/Endgame, Multiplayer, Zombies, or Call of Duty: Warzone (Warzone Patch Notes) — to unlock the weekly Loadout reward. Check the menu again the following week for the next gameplay reward. Completing challenges also rewards XP, and this is a great way to rise through the Levels. Don’t worry if you miss a week; as long as you’re playing Black Ops 7 during any part of Season 01, all the previous Weekly Challenge Challenges and rewards are still accessible, up to the point the season concludes. Week 1 Reward: Ballistic Knife: For the first week of Season 01, a brand-new Melee Weapon is your reward: Make sure you’re rapidly completing Weekly Challenges to unlock the Ballistic Knife! New Weapons Kogot-7 - SMG (Battle Pass) Full-auto submachine gun. Excellent mobility and fast fire rate, but shorter-range capabilities and moderate recoil. What the Kogot-7 lacks in punch, it makes up for with speed and mobility. This fast-firing, quick-handling SMG is perfect for Operators looking to get into the thick of things. Prestige Attachment: MFS Kogot-7 Akimbo A Dual Wield toggle that lets you swap between holding one or two SMGs. Damage range and hipfire spread suffer a slight penalty, overcome by the deluge of firepower at your fingertips. Blocks Underbarrel Attachments. Maddox RFB - Assault Rifle (Battle Pass) Full-auto assault rifle. Fast fire rate with a large ammo pool. A favorite from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the Maddox RFB returns to action in Black Ops 7. The weapon’s manageable recoil, fast fire rate, and large ammo pool make it ideal for sustained fights. Prestige Attachment: 13” MFS Echo-Fire Barrel A firing blowback system that increases the fire rate for every second bullet, granting a boost in firepower at the expense of some slight accuracy loss. Ballistic Knife - Melee (Weekly Challenge Reward: Week 1) Spring-action knife launcher. High melee damage and can fire retrievable blades as projectiles. The Ballistic Knife returns, a staple Black Ops weapon that lets you pull off deadly ranged attacks with surprising speed and accuracy as the blade is fired from the handle, eliminating unarmored targets on contact. NX Ravager - Special Weapon (Event Reward: Week 2) Launches high damage bolt projectiles. Can be configured to fire explosive bolts that detonate a short time after impact. Take aim with the NX Ravager compound bow, featuring quick loading bolts in a device that shoots accurately to great distances New Attachments Akita Scorchlink Akimbo (Weekly Challenge Reward: Week 2) Why wield only one full-auto Shotgun when you can have two? With this Attachment equipped, you’re granted dual capabilities coupled with Belt Fed Ammo Capacity and an Overheat mechanic, with a slight dip in damage range and hipfire spread to compensate for the barrage of rounds. Blocks other Magazines. New Multiplayer Scorestreak Deadeye Drone (Weekly Challenge Reward: Week 3) Take to the skies remotely with the Deadeye Drone to harass and eliminate enemies with its onboard rifle. Soar over the environment and look for target indicators marking the position of enemy Operators. Overclock Abilities Extended Mag: Larger magazine allows for more shots. Grenadier: Attached grenade for aerial bombing. New Multiplayer Maps The following maps are available at launch, with more coming in-season. Utopia (6v6) Once a cutting-edge Guild research facility, this site now serves as the nerve center of Project Synapse under Alden Dorne’s command. Towering structures pierce the skyline, remnants of a forgotten future now repurposed for ruthless ambition. Fate (6v6) David is dragged back into the nightmare he’s tried to forget: a fractured memory where fear and regret over Raul Menendez take physical form. Step into a warped vision of Menendez’s Nicaraguan compound, now twisted beyond recognition: colossal machetes carve through the sky, and shattered pieces of reality hang suspended as if time itself has splintered. Odysseus (6v6 / 2v2) The team steps into a distorted hallucination aboard the scarred deck of a familiar carrier etched deep into David’s past. Close-quarters combat dominates as you fight across the deck overlooking a runway frozen in chaos: aircraft locked mid-explosion, debris suspended in time, and a crimson mist bleeding across the sky. Standoff (6v6) Remastered for Black Ops 7, Standoff returns with greater visual fidelity than ever before. Revisit your favorite spots on this classic mid-sized map from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 that played a huge role in casual and competitive play. View Green Video on the source website Party Games Return Prop Hunt Disguise yourself as a prop and evade notice from searching Operators in this fan-favorite Party Mode challenging players to notice what’s not quite right in the environment. Props whistle every 30 seconds, so be ready to move and even change shape or drop a decoy if the enemy is on to you. Teams switch roles between rounds, from hiding as props to seeking them out before the round timer is up. One in the Chamber Each Operator spawns with a pistol, one bullet, a Combat Knife, and three lives. The only way to earn another bullet is to eliminate another Operator. In this free for all, every shot that lands counts as an elimination, so keep your aim steady and start dancing when encountering enemy fire. When only two players remain, a UAV begins to scan the area, forcing the remaining targets into a fight. Sharpshooter Put your skills to the test in this free-for-all match where every Operator is given the same randomly selected weapon. Every 45 seconds, the weapon changes to a new random weapon for all players, and this cycle continues throughout the match. Sticks & Stones (Week 2) Armed with a Crossbow, Ballistic Knife, and Combat Axe, players battle in a free-for-all earning points for each elimination. Keep slaying to outscore the enemy but beware — those who fall victim to the Combat Axe lose all their points. Watch your back and aim your own axe to take down players with the highest scores. Gun Game (Week 2) Eliminate enemies and be the first to cycle through every weapon tier in this party mode where every Operator starts out with the same weapon. With each elimination, your weapon is advanced to the next tier. Eliminating enemies with a melee attack will demote them to the previous tear and vice versa, so don’t let anyone get up close! New Zombies Map: Astra Malorum The heroes continue their perilous journey in search of another Shadowsmith, with their path leading them to a mysterious observatory, a relic ripped from the early 20th century now drifting silently within the shimmering rings of Saturn. Once a beacon of human curiosity and discovery, the observatory has become a ghostly monument suspended in time, its rusted domes and fractured telescopes watching endlessly over the planet’s swirling bands. Within its hollow corridors, secrets of the past, and the next step in their quest awaits. New Enemy: O.S.C.A.R. (Astra Malorum) This sentinel robot — a remnant of mid-20th Century cinematic imagination — has somehow become an animated, stalking menace that roams the dark halls of the Observatory. Known as the Observation System and Carnifex Adjudicator Robot (or O.S.C.A.R. for short), this Elite entity seems to be persistent in assessing and neutralizing threats, slowly hover-patrolling areas where a disturbance has occurred. New Wonder Weapon: LGM-1 (Astra Malorum) The Little Green Menace launches saucer squadrons that exterminate enemies like the lower life forms they are. Shoot for the stars! A retro-sleek artifact with unique target acquisition and annihilation qualities, the LGM-1 shoots out partly autonomous saucer-like projectiles that swarm nearby targets with miniature (but potent) laser fire. This small squadron of independent spacecraft prioritizes the closest targets and depends on weapon aiming. These flying discs then track and circle enemies, before returning to the LGM-1 for replenishment. New Survival Map: Exit 115 Welcome to Reba’s Diner! Survive as many rounds as possible in this isolated location from Ashes of the Damned with everything you need to put up a fight. The more rounds you survive, the more rewards you can earn: “Chef’s Special” Animated Emblem and 1,000 XP (reach Round 10) “Ravaged” Charm and 2,500 XP (reach Round 25) “Perkaholic” Ultra GobbleGum and 5,000 XP (reach Round 50) Returning Perk-A-Cola: Mule Kick Drink to carry an extra weapon.

Addressed an issue that was causing some Challenge amounts to overlap with the progress bar in the Lobby Challenge Tracker widget. Weapons Bullet Penetration We are making general changes to bullet penetration in Season 01. The goal of these changes is to increase penetration overall, while keeping damage reasonable. Additionally, we would like to maintain a level of consistency and predictability when it comes to bullet penetration. Up until now, a weapon’s penetration was driven entirely by the maximum distance it could pass through a given surface type. Penetration damage would decrease based on the thickness of the surface until the maximum distance. This limited our ability to tune distances without also affecting damage. It could also lead to some extreme edge cases, such as a weapon’s falling off to just a few points of damage. Starting with Season 01, penetration damage and distance have been decoupled. Weapons will still have a maximum distance they can shoot through for each surface type, but now the damage falloff they experience will be a flat percentage regardless of how thick the surface was. This lets us push the penetration distance further while still ensuring that cover feels advantageous. We’ll be carefully monitoring feedback and adjusting specific surface types as necessary to make sure that penetration feels fair on both sides of combat engagements. Slightly increased distances at which bullets can penetrate through many surface types. Bullets that successfully penetrate through a surface now experience a flat percentage of damage falloff regardless of the distance that was penetrated. FMJ will now increase distance penetrated as well as reduce the penetration damage falloff. Addressed an issue preventing FMJ from improving penetration damage as intended. Weapon Tuning We're planning to release a larger weapon balance patch once we're a couple of weeks into Season 01 and have collected plenty of feedback and data on the first batch of new weapons and attachments. This timing will help us ensure the S01 weapon meta is in the best state possible heading into the holidays. The attachment adjustments below are very focused and not intended as a comprehensive balancing pass. We often revisit and tweak attachment tunings as we add new weapons to the game and the relative balance of weapons within a class evolves, which is the case here.

PS5 sales numbers: How many units has it sold?
The PlayStation 5 is now five whole years old, but despite its age, it's going strong and putting up some mighty sales figures. Sony is no stranger to high sales for its consoles, and the PS5 is just the latest in a long line of success stories. So, if you're curious about how many PS5 consoles have been sold and how it compares to other consoles and companies, here's what you need to know. PS5 sales numbers: How many units has it sold? At the time of writing, the PS5 has officially sold more than 84.2 million units, making it the ninth highest-selling console of all time, and seventh highest-selling home console. This was announced by Sony in November 2025, and accounts for sales up to 30th September 2025 – so that doesn't even account for any sales since then! This huge figure means the PS5 has passed a rather significant (and somewhat embarrassing for Xbox) figure, as the PS5 has now sold more than every Xbox console ever released. For reference, the latest figures we have for the Xbox 360 are from 2014, stating that the console sold 84 million units, so this may well be somewhat out of date by now. When we compare with other Sony hardware, we see that, while the PS5 is still the lowest-selling PlayStation home console, it is only 3 million sales away from overtaking the PS3, which sits on 87.4 million. Beyond that, while the PS5 may one day overtake the PS1's 102 million sales, it seems unlikely to overtake the PS4's 117 million, and nigh-on impossible that it will beat the world record-holding PS2, which tops the list with 160 million sales. Among modern consoles, the PS5 is doing well, having sold nearly 60 million more units than the Xbox Series X/S. But it's still far behind the 154 million Nintendo Switch consoles sold thus far. And with Switch 2 sales already ticking up, Sony will be hoping that those PS5 sales continue long into the future, or at least until they finally release the PS6.

If you're a die-hard Sony fan, you're probably spending this week asking one question: Is Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5? After taking so long to make, the sequel is almost here. Those who haven't had a chance to play the original Hollow Knight might be wondering if they need to before jumping into Silksong, and also whether they can enjoy it on PS5. Especially since many fans played Hollow Knight on PS4 (yes, that's how long it's been). So, what's the story with Silksong on PS5? We'll explain everything you need to know. Is Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5? Hollow Knight: Silksong is launching on PS5, and indeed PS4 as well, a rarity for a brand-new title nowadays. In fact, you can check out its store page already, though it's not available to purchase just yet. If you weren't aware that Silksong was launching on PS5, it's hardly surprising. The console has been notably absent from any marketing for the game. While a PC version was inevitable – the original was a PC exclusive when it first launched – the console side of things has been a bit more interesting. Both Xbox and Nintendo have featured the game rather prominently in trailers for the Xbox Rog Ally, Nintendo Directs. Both companies even featured a Silksong demo at their respective booths at Gamescom last month. While Nintendo and Xbox have been neck and neck when it comes to advertising Silksong on their respective platforms, PlayStation has been shockingly silent about the game launching on PS5, too. So, there you have it. PlayStation owners, you'll be able to play Hollow Knight: Silksong on launch on both PS5 and PS4. Unfortunately for you, though, you won't get the chance to play it as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription, as Xbox players will be able to enjoy it via Xbox Game Pass – them's the breaks, we're afraid!

Why Death Stranding 2 isn't on PS4 explained: What the devs have said
The latest game from Kojima Productions, Death Stranding 2, may turn out to be the defining game of the PS5 generation. It's been a huge hit with players and critics thanks, in part, to its grandiose story, stellar cast and a killer soundtrack to boot. But the game has only released on PS5, unlike its processor, which launched on PS4 and later came to PS5. So, why isn't Death Stranding 2 on PS4? Here's what the developers themselves have said about it. Why Death Stranding 2 isn't on PS4 explained: What the devs have said Put simply, Death Stranding 2 is just too much for the PS4 to handle. The game's graphics, powered by the Decima Engine, are incredible, and have been tailor-made for the PS5 and PS5 Pro. In an interview on the PlayStation Blog, technical art director Takayuki Uchida spoke about developing the game, and how the PS5 and PS5 Pro allowed them to achieve certain improvements. "We implemented a new day/night cycle in the open world. This achieves more realistic transitions between the time of day and introduces new dynamics that weren't present in the previous title. "The scenery and atmosphere now change depending on the time of day, so exploration is also more compelling and exciting. "For the base PS5's Performance Mode, we stabilised the framerate by switching the LOD (Level of Detail) earlier to reduce geometry and adjust the resolution dynamically. "On PS5 Pro, players can enjoy a higher resolution that is closer in quality to Resolution Mode, while maintaining 60FPS gameplay." The game looks so good, in fact, that with Performance Mode turned off on a base PS5, the game only runs at 30FPS. If we were to translate that to a PS4, then we would assume that the game would maybe be able to run at 60FPS using the Performance Mode graphics, but considering how boundary-pushing the Kojima Productions team have aimed to be with this game, that doesn't seem like an appealing prospect. And at the end of the day, the PS4 came out in 2013. It's perhaps a bit optimistic to expect that a game like Death Stranding 2 would be able to run smoothly on a 12-year-old console. Sorry to all you PS4 owners out there, it looks like you're out of luck. But there's still hope for PC and Xbox players!

PS Plus update confirms major changes will affect PS4 players in 2026
The PlayStation 4 has been around for over a decade, and there are still plenty of games releasing on it. Considering it's been classed as previous gen hardware since 2020, this is impressive. The PlayStation Plus subscription service has also been catering for PS4, which is a generous move by Sony. They're bound to want more people to upgrade to a PS5, given it's been out over four years. Well, unfortunately for those of us still clinging to our PS4s, major changes are looming in the coming year. Let's late a look at the upcoming PS Plus update, and see what will happen in 2026. What’s changing for PS Plus members on PS4? The news is exactly what PS4 users have been dreading since the PS5 dropped in 2020. In an official blog post, Sony has said that in the next year "PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered" on PlayStation Plus. This is disappointing news for PS4 users who enjoy the benefits of a PS Plus membership. But when exactly will these changes take effect? View Green Video on the source website When will the PS Plus changes take effect? The blog post says that PlayStation Plus "will focus on offering PS5 titles through the Monthly Games and Game Catalog benefit starting January 2026". From then on, "PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered for PlayStation Plus Monthly Games and Game Catalog". However, the PS4 games we've already downloaded won't be going anywhere: "This won’t affect the PS4 Monthly Games that you have already redeemed from PlayStation Plus. You’ll continue to have access to games you’ve already redeemed as long as you remain a member." You can read the full blog post here. So we have about a year left, before it might become necessary to finally take the plunge and buy a PS5. That being said, we still have options outside of PlayStation Plus. From the online store to physical copies of games, we hope the PS4 has many years left. Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Cyberpunk 2077 returns to PS5, but fans are left waiting for a PS4 upgrade
The Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 version should be fine, but current-gen players will keep on waiting for a Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 upgrade.
Cyberpunk 2077 has finally returned to the PlayStation Store, but it's not all good news. PS4 players are being warned about playing the current version of the game, which is better suited to running on a PS5 or a PS4 Pro. This is the latest strange chapter in the story of Cyberpunk 2077, which originally launched on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia on 10th December 2020. At launch, the current-gen console version of the game was so plagued with bugs and glitches that Sony made the decision to remove the game from the PlayStation Store on all of its consoles. Now, more than six months later, the Cyberpunk 2077 developers from CD Projekt Red have seemingly whipped the game into shape, to such a degree that Sony is willing to reinstate the game's product page on the PlayStation Store. This decision does come with a disclaimer, though, and you can read on for all the essential details regarding Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5, PS4 Pro and the base PS4. Is Cyberpunk 2077 safe to play on PS5 and PS4 Pro? In a Tweet from the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account, the game's developers announced today that the game "is now back on the PlayStation Store." They added, "You can play the game on PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 5." A follow-up Tweet from the developers added this disclaimer: "Users may continue to experience some performance issues with the PS4 edition while we continue to improve stability across all platforms. The PS4 Pro and PS5 versions of the game will provide the best experience on PlayStation." Sony also posted a Tweet, on the PlayStation account, similarly stressing that "Cyberpunk 2077 is now available at PlayStation Store. [...] For the best experience on PlayStation, playing on PS4 Pro or PS5 consoles is recommended." And so, if you're lucky enough to own a PS5 or a PS4 Pro, both Sony and CD Projekt Red seem to be saying that the game should run well enough on your powerful console. We just had a look at the PlayStation Store on our PS5, and the Cyberpunk 2077 price is listed at £39.99 at the moment - so at least it's chapter than a lot of games! Buy Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store When is the Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 upgrade release date? In the first of their two Tweet's about today's news, the developers from CD Projekt Red also said this: "Additionally, a free next gen upgrade will be available for all owners of the PS4 version of Cyberpunk 2077 in the second half of 2021." And on a similar note, alluding to the future of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation consoles, Sony's Tweet added this line about what's to come: "Work on the PS4 version continues, with fixes and updates to be released throughout the year". For the latest news and expert tips on getting the best deals this year, take a look at our Black Friday 2021 and Cyber Monday 2021 guides. Neither of those Tweets gives us a clear release date for the PS4 upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077, but they both make it clear that fixes are in the works for current-gen PlayStation players, with these changes expected to roll out before 2022. If you're an owner of a standard PS4 console, then, you might want to wait until these upgrades roll out and make your version of Cyberpunk 2077 more stable. If and when an exact date is confirmed for that update, we'll be sure to let you know by updating this article.

PS Plus games for March 2021: Final Fantasy 7 Remake, free games for PS5 and PS4 revealed
Apologies to anyone that just bought these games.
Despite leaving it a little late to make the announcement, Sony has now revealed the new PS Plus games for March 2021. Interestingly, the company chose to drop this information in a blog post rather than announcing it during the big State of Play event last week. PS Plus, of course, is the paid subscription service which gives PlayStation gamers a few games every month, as well as entitling them to special discounts, exclusive demos and online multiplayer. Final Fantasy 7 Remake appears to be one of the new PS Plus games for March 2021, which will be good news to anyone that hadn't yet invested in the game. If you literally bought a copy yesterday, however, you might be a little peeved. Either way, keep on reading for the full breakdown of what is coming to PS Plus in March 2021 and beyond. Buy one year of PS Plus from Amazon Buy PS Now at Amazon PlayStation Plus deals at CDKeys New PS Plus games for March 2021 As Sony confirmed with an official PlayStation blog, there are four PS Plus games for members to check out in March 2021. PS4 owners with active PS Plus memberships will get to play Final Fantasy VII Remake, Farpoint and Remnant: From the Ashes during March. As explained in the small print, these games will arrive on 2nd March and stay on the service until 5th April. PlayStation fans who have been lucky enough to overcome the PS5 stock issues and secure a next-gen console will get one extra PS Plus game, with a colourful puzzle game called Maquette being given to PS Plus members on PS5. Of course, with the console costing just shy of £500, a few inexpensive PS5 games to play never go amiss. What else is new on PS Plus? February's PS Plus games will stay on the service for the time being, so it's worth going onto your console and claiming those if you haven't already. Even if you don't want to play them yet, it's always better to have the option later if you change your mind. February on PS Plus saw Concrete Genie arrive on the service for PS4 owners, while Control: Ultimate Edition was given to PS4 and PS5 owners, and Destruction Allstars was given exclusively to PS5 owners. Concrete Genie and Control will be removed on 1st March, but Destruction Allstars is hanging around for a while longer until 5th April. If you claim the games before then, you'll be able to keep them forever, as long as your PS Plus membership remains active. And here's a fun fact for you: during Sony's recent State Of Play live-stream, the company confirmed one free game that is coming to PS Plus in April. It's an indie platformer called Oddworld: Soulstorm, and you can watch the latest footage from the game below. It'll be on PS Plus from 6th April until 3rd May for PS5 owners.
