CD Projekt is on a mission to demonstrate that GOG is the best PC digital distribution platform on the planet. While the company has a long way to go, it wants to prove its worth by giving away free games, which might explain why you can currently get Saints Row 2 for free on GOG.

Yes, you heard correctly. For the next two days, GOG is giving away free copies of one of the best games in the Saints Row franchise, but that’s not all. CD Projekt also added Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV, and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell to the GOG library and is currently running a Saints Row-themed GOG Connect promotion. What is GOG Connect? Basically, it links your GOG account to your Steam account and gives you free GOG copies of games you own on Steam, or at least it does when GOG Connect promotions are active. For the next week, people who own Steam copies of any Saints Row games can receive free GOG copies thanks to GOG Connect. However, you might want to wait until later today to either claim your free copy of Saints Row 2 or use GOG Connect, as the servers can’t quite keep up with the demand; I personally had to wait half an hour before GOG’s servers added my free copy of Saints Row 2 to my library.

The Saints Row franchise started as an open world action-adventure game that told the story of the Third Street Saints gang and their rise to power. Even though Saints Row eventually became synonymous with off-the-wall humor and insane weapons — including a rocket launcher that shoots mind-controlling octopi and a gun that fires deadly dubstep beams — that insanity did not start until Saints Row: The Third. Saints Row 2 was the last “serious” entry in the Saints Row franchise before developer Volition fully embraced the crazy, but even Saints Row 2 had the beginnings of the humor that permeates modern Saints Row games, including the upcoming spiritual successor Agents of Mayhem. For example, in Saints Row 2, players could surf on top of cars.

You better act fast if you want a free copy of Saints Row 2, as the giveaway only lasts two days. You know what they say: nothing good lasts forever, and you can’t get more good than free copies of Saints Row games.

*Edit* Looks like Valve, not to be outdone, has also made Saints Row 2 free on Steam.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.

The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
