Sony Interactive Entertainment is now in full Holiday season as the PlayStation Store’s Holiday Sale is live and featuring discounts to 2023’s big hitters on PS5 and PS4 such as Alan Wake 2, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Diablo IV, Final Fantasy XVI, and more.

Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware announced that the Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon patch 1.05 will add ranked matchmaking to the game, new AC parts, new PVP maps, and more. The patch will go live on December 19, 2023.

It’s tough to recommend Final Fantasy XVI’s first DLC called Echoes of the Fallen as it doesn’t deliver much to the core experience, or even something completely different. At the current price point, I was expecting a bit more to stand out, maybe focus on one aspect of the game we haven’t seen before, but sadly this isn’t the case. You’re not missing much here as it would be best to wait for the second DLC called Rising Tide coming next year.

The PlayStation 5 is going on its cheapest sale during the 2023 holidays in the Philippines as the original PlayStation 5 console and select bundles are PHP 6,800 cheaper on December 18 until December 31, 2023.

Developer Fntastic announced the shutdown of their studio just days after they released their highly anticipated title The Day Before, an online extraction shooter that is currently experiencing a horrible launch on Steam’s early access.

If I’m comparing Persona 5 Tactica against the original game and the other spin-off, it’s my least favorite of the bunch, but the effort didn’t feel like an afterthought, as the story, character designs, and level designs make it an entertaining strategy game for those already well-versed in the Persona 5 world.

Crytek has shared what’s coming in the upcoming 1.15 update, detailing the new weapon variants, balance changes, level layout changes, and more. The update will go live alongside the upcoming Tide of Desolation event going live next week.
