Those of you who purchased Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on the Xbox One and PS4 were also fortunate enough to get access to a demo for the much hyped Final Fantasy XV, titled Episode Duscae. Despite only being a demo, it managed to have several hours worth of gameplay; most demos tend to last maybe just 45 minutes and that’s being generous. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind, and now there’s more of it on the way.

According to a report by Siliconera, a version 2.00 update for the demo will be released in May and will come with some enhancements for the Active Cross Battle (the battle system for the game), adjustments to the camera targeting system, new combat actions, balance tweaks and bug fixes.

There’s even a promise for steadier framerates and even more quest content. The fact that Square Enix is giving this much support for a demo is kind of staggering; can anyone think of another demo that has received updates? This one is being treated like its own mini-version of the real thing, and that’s not a bad thing, as it’s not only making the wait for the main game’s release easier to deal with but it’s also showing how much effort the developers are putting into Final Fantasy XV. They want people excited for it and are giving players a reason to get excited by giving them a very large taste of what’s to come instead of just telling them.

Plus, Square Enix have confirmed that there will be a big announcement regarding the game at Gamescom, which will be this August. Unfortunately, the demo is still unavailable to download on it’s own. If you want to see what all the fuss is about, you need to get a copy of Type-0 HD.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
