Sackboy: A Big Adventure will not be the only game from PlayStation to hit the platform. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will launch on October 19 for PC as well. Sony has teased a fall release window for the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales but hasn’t revealed a definitive release date just yet. Considering the game has a strong holiday and Christmas theme, sometime before the end of the year seems like the perfect timing.

There have also been many leaks and hints about Housemarque’s PlayStation 5 game Returnal coming to PC. The game has been spotted in Steam’s database and leaked footage of the settings menu in the PC version was uploaded to YouTube. According to the leaked footage, Returnal on PC would support ray-traced shadows, reflections, DLSS, and FSR. However, neither Sony nor Housemarque has made a formal announcement about the game coming to PC.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure was first released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in November 2020. The game follows Sackboy as a mythical villain named Vex kidnaps his friends and forces them to build a machine capable of turning Craftsworld into a hellscape.

Astro Bot dresses up as Kratos.

Sony is not giving up on single-player games despite investing a lot into live-service games over the past few years, with plans to release at least one "major" single-player game every year "from next fiscal year onwards."

The company released its Q2 2024 financial report on Friday, and there was a lot of good news for the video game division despite the high-profile failure of live-service title Concord. Earlier this year. The hero shooter only wracked up a few hundred players on Steam at launch -- only 697 concurrent users at peak, according to SteamDB. Sony Interactive Entertainment took the game offline two weeks after launch before eventually sunsetting it and shutting down developer Firewalk Studios.

PS5 vs. PS5 Pro: Is the PlayStation 5 Pro worth the upgrade?
A PS5 Pro that's floating in front of a gray background. It's turned to the side.

The PlayStation 5 Pro is here and promises to make the best PS5 games even better. However, those improvements don't come cheap. Just like the DualSense Edge was a premium version of the default PS5 controller, the Pro model is being sold as an option for gamers who want the best possible experience. But this is way bigger of an investment than an accessory, so is the Pro worth that extra cost, or are you better off sticking with your base model and installing a new SSD?

Special Orders board in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley console and mobile players will want to start a new farm soon. The long-awaited 1.6 update is finally available for all platforms on Monday, bringing with it a new farm type, more dialogue with NPCs, new events, and too many other things to count.

The 1.6 update launched for PC players on March 19, so console and mobile players have been waiting almost eight months for the release. In July, developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that it was taking longer than expected.

He had even stopped working on the Stardew follow-up Haunted Chocolatier to get the console and mobile updates finished.
