PlayStation Awards 2018

The 2018 PlayStation Award winners have been revealed by Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia. For those unfamiliar with the awards, it’s an annual awards show that rewards PlayStation games solely on sales. As a result, the winners end up typically looking a lot different than most other gaming awards show winners.

Without further ado, the following are the winners by category (via Gematsu):

Quadruple Platinum Prize

Software titles with an accumulated shipment quantity (including download quantity) of over four million copies.

  • Monster Hunter: World (Capcom)

Platinum Prize

Software titles with an accumulated shipment quantity (including download quantity) of over one million copies.

Gold Prize

  • FIFA 18 (Electronic Arts)
  • Fortnite (Epic Games)

  • Marvel’s Spider-Man (Sony Interactive Entertainment)
  • Monster Hunter: World (Capcom)
  • Yakuza: Kiwami 2 (Sega)

PlayStation VR Special Award

Three titles that have contributed to PlayStation VR were awarded. (Released between October 13, 2017 and September 30, 2018, excluding last year’s winning titles.)

  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR (Bethesda Softworks)
  • Gran Turismo Sport (Sony Interactive Entertainment)
  • No Heroes Allowed! VR (Sony Interactive Entertainment)

Indie & Developer Award

Three titles that have contributed to the expansion PlayStation were awarded. (Released between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018, excluding last year’s winning titles.)

  • Abzu (Giant Squid)
  • Dead Cells (Motion Twin)
  • Ultimate Chicken Horse (Clever Endeavour Games)

So, the big winner this year is Monster Hunter: World, which is something that I doubt many thought they would have been saying at this time last year. It was the first time the series has released on consoles in quite some time, and the game was both a big critical and commercial success for Capcom.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players

The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.

According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.

It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.

What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.

E3 is long gone, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have any exciting video game events this summer. Geoff Keighley, the host, has just revealed that the highly anticipated Summer Game Fest event is making a comeback on Friday, June 7th, at 5 PT/5 p.m. ET/10 p.m. BST. The event will be streamed live from the YouTube Theatre in glamorous Los Angeles.

In a recent tweet, Keighley assured his followers that a large number of fans will be present at the event, both in person and online. He expressed excitement about the upcoming cross-platform showcase, where the future of video games will be unveiled. Presumably, PlayStation and other gaming companies will have their own separate livestreams. However, Sony has a tendency to support Summer Game Fest, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for any announcements from them.

If you’re thinking of going, tickets will be available for purchase starting on Tuesday, May 7th. It’s definitely an event worth noting on your calendar. So, what are your expectations for this year’s Summer Game Fest? Feel free to share your dream announcements in the comments section below.
