Poker Night 2 delisted

It looks like those who enjoyed playing Telltale Games’ Poker Night 2 will be able to do so no more, as the game has been removed from digital stores. The reason for this is that distribution agreements have expired, and it seems like the company isn’t interested in fixing that.

In announcement on the game’s support page, the company said “Poker Night 2 has been withdrawn from sale on digital platforms due to the expiration of our digital distribution agreement.We currently do not have any plans to renew this agreement.”

The good news for those who own the game is that they’ll still be able to access it, as this move does not take it away from game owners. The support page details how those players can access the game, so head on over there if you’re interested.

This isn’t the only game from Telltale that has been delisted, as Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures and Law & Order: Legacies were also taken down.

For those unfamiliar with the game, Poker Night 2 featured characters from various franchises that all come together to play poker. It’s a bizarre concept, but it actually was well-received back when it launched in 2013. It’s possible that their distribution rights could be renewed someday, but it definitely won’t be anytime soon.

New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.

Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.

Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.

Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.

Sony: We Need Non-Gamers to Access Our Content

Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.

In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.

When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.

More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.

PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.

Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.

Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.

The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
