Sony Europe has once again kicked off it’s annual 12 Deals of Christmas promotion, giving gamers discounts on 12 different games throughout the next 24 days, each available for 48 hours only. The first deal is 37% off Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy on the PS4, available until 2pm on 2nd December.
The very last PlayStation Plus line-up for 2017 has been unwrapped by Sony as we head into December. Six free games will be made available to subscribers on 6th December 2017, which include Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition (PS4) and Xblaze Lost: Memories (PS3). The two PlayStation Plus bonus titles (Until Dawn: Rush of Blood and That’s You!) will also continue to be available.
This week’s European PlayStation Store update is a fairly small one compared to the usual ones. There is only new PS4 content available this week, which includes over 15 new PS4 games, and various new DLC. New games include Star Ocean: The Last Hope, The Escapists 2 and DOOM VFR.
Bungie have announced that Destiny 2 will be undergoing scheduled maintenance tomorrow for approximately six hours. During the maintenance period, the game will be offline. The maintenance will begin at 4:00pm GMT / 8:00am PST, and will last until 10:00pm GMT / 2:00pm PST.
New content is now available to download from the European PlayStation Store, including over 20 new PS4 games and a new PS Vita game. New games this week include Cities: Skylines, Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier and Project CARS 2 Demo. You can also find new DLC, including the Fast & Furious Bundle for Rocket League and Episode 3 of Batman: The Enemy Within.
The Black Friday sale has kicked off on the European PlayStation Store, giving PlayStation Plus subscribers a 48-hour head-start on the sales. You can save up to 60% on some big titles, include GT Sport, which is 50% off, 60% of GTA V, and 30% off Assassin’s Creed Origins. PlayStation Plus membership has also been discounted by 25% for all players on PlayStation Store until 28th November
The Sims 4 has finally arrived on consoles – it’s been available on PC for a few years. Having played the previous PS2 and PS3 titles, I was eager to get my hands on the latest version – and the first Sims title on the PS4. This one-player game lets you control “sims” in a virtual world, where you can build your own home, seduce neighbours and generally play with life.
New content and games are available on the European PlayStation Store this week, with over 20 new games added. Releasing on the PS4 this week, you can find STAR WARS Battlefront II, The Sims 4, and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. You can also find a handful of new games for the PS3 and PS Vita.
A new minor firmware update has been released for the PS3, updating the system software to v4.82. The PS3 hasn’t had a major firmware update since 2013, but it’s good to see Sony is continuing to patch the PS3 to fix bugs and security issues. The update is mandatory, and is required to access the PlayStation Network.
