The spoilsports at Amazon have leaked the news that Sleeping Dogs will be coming to the newest generation of consoles in October 2014, before publisher Square Enix has made any announcements. The Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One appears to include all previously released DLC and a 28-page book of concept art. According to the Amazon listing, the game will arrive on October 14, 2014 for $60.

Sleeping Dogs is an open world crime game in the vein of Grand Theft Auto that was released in 2012, but with an emphasis on hand-to-hand combat using a system that is somewhat reminiscent of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham series. You play as Wei Shen, a former San Francisco police officer who has returned to his native Hong Kong to infiltrate the Sun Yee On triads. The game’s story missions are divided between jobs for the triads and for the police, pulling your loyalty back and forth between the two factions.

This 4-year-old PlayStation game is topping the sales charts

Mat Piscatella, executive director of games at consumer tracking firm Circana, posted his monthly analysis of games sales on Monday for May 2024. His findings show that spending on video games and hardware are down 6% compared to May of last year, but overall year-to-date spending is 2% higher. So video game sales are generally stagnant, trending downward.

However, there is some good news here for PlayStation. Ghost of Tsushima, which came out on May 16 for PC, hit the top spot on the top-selling games chart, beating other new releases like Homeworld 3 (at No. 14) and F1 24 (at No. 18). Other Sony games in the top 20 include Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Apple Arcade’s most popular game is coming to PlayStation, Switch, and PC

Apple Arcade hit Hello Kitty: Island Adventure is coming to new platforms in 2025. The Animal Crossing-like life sim will launch on Nintendo Switch and PC in early 2025. It’ll be a timed console exclusive for Nintendo before coming to PlayStation 4 and PS5 shortly after.

Hello Kitty: Island Adventure is Apple Arcade’s most popular game, Arcade Senior Director Alex Rofman told me in an interview earlier this year. The iOS game takes the basic concept of Animal Crossing and adds in popular Sanrio characters. That experience has only been available to Apple Arcade subscribers for the past year, but it’ll soon make its way to more platforms.
