Copenhagen Games is back for another year with a number of new faces making their debut in the tournament.

The BYOC tournament will take place from April 13-15 and will feature a $54,000 (or 50,000 euro) prize pool and will take place at Øksnehallen, as usual. Seven teams have been confirmed with the eight left to be decided at the Team Plantronics Challenge, a series of online tournaments hosted by ESL Nordic. These eight teams will be joined by an additional eight teams coming from an on-site qualifier.

Perhaps the most interesting team showing its face at the CPH Games is the Swedish mixteam Dreamchasers. For those unaware, Dreamchasers is built around Joel “emilio” Mako, the ex-professional player who got VAC banned live in 2014 when he was playing for Team Property at Fragbite Masters III. It seems he has once again found a home in the mix team comprised of several professional players from a number of different teams, such as GODSENT’s Markus “pronax” Wallsten.

Last year’s CPH Games saw an entirely different roster of teams attending, with the CIS-based organization Hellraisers taking 1st place by defeating the, now disbanded, Bulgarian E-Frag Esports Club.

As a secondary tournament, Copenhagen Games will also host a female-only tournament with a lower $15,000 prize pool. No info such as a date, prize pool, or any invited teams has been released as of yet. Stay tuned for an article on that soon.

The invited teams are as follows:

  • Dreamchasers
  • NRG
  • LDLC
  • Epsilon
  • Tricked
  • BIG
  • fnatic Academy
  • Team Plantronics Challenge Winners

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.
