The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone, the first expansion for the successful role playing game developed by CD Projekt RED, is now very close to release and fans of the series have been getting more and more excited for its release. Excitement for Hearts of Stone has increased quite a bit yesterday thanks to the expansion’s launch trailer however those who hoped to be able to play The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone as soon as the release day comes will unfortunately be disappointed today.

CD Projekt RED Community Manager Marcin Momot has confirmed earlier today that no pre-load is planned for the expansion on any format. We still don’t know much about the expansion’s size but this is definitely disappointing for those with slow download speeds.

“We’re not planning pre-load on any platform.”

Even those who are not planning to get the Hearts of Stone expansion have something to be excited about as The Witcher 3 is going to receive a big patch before the expansion releases on all formats. Full patch notes have yet to be revealed but it seems like we might be hearing something new on the upcoming patch sometime this week, as teased by Mr. Momot on the game’s official forums.

“All is good in the hood. The thing is that the update is really huge and we don’t want to post the list until we’re 100% sure everything is in there. Just between me and you guys, there should be some development in this department this week.”

The Witcher 3 is now available in all regions on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone expansion will be released on October 13th on all formats. We will keep you updated on the expansion and upcoming new patch as soon as possible so stay tuned for all the latest news on CD Projekt RED’s excellent role-playing game.

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.
