Earlier this week, LittleBigPlanet developers, Media Molecule, left a rather cryptic tweet casually stating an upcoming live stream of their future title, Dreams, that will be “totally normal.” Many fans have been eagerly awaiting the long-teased PS4 title as a beta was speculated to release by the end of 2018.

Yet, here we are, only a couple of weeks left in the year and it looks like MM will be keeping their target date firmly set for a 2018 release. In the live stream, the developers shared some enticing details regarding the creation game, as well as the official beta release dates; but there’s a catch if you want to jump in early.

While Dreams will in fact see an early beta build for players to start creating and sharing their ideal game masterpieces, it seems only a select few will have the opportunity to build their “dream” game first. If you’ve initially signed up for Media Molecule’s newsletter before the live stream event, then you’re in luck as you’ll get your chance at hopping into the beautifully ambitious game early.

However, those who were late to the party that is the Media Molecule newsletter, you’ll have to wait just a touch longer into the new year. The beta for Dreams begins on December 19, 2018 for folks who have received an email from the developers after being apart of the official newsletter. Fear not, for those who are out of touch and not subscribed to the newsletter, as future subscribers will be able to begin sign ups for beta participation on January 4, 2019, and given beta access starting on January 8, 2019.

The Dreams beta will allow players to try their hand at game development with a slew of handy game crafting tools which have all been relentlessly perfected by the developers over at MM to give even the most amateur game designers an edge in creation.

The beta is expected to run until January 21, 2019, but after that we should begin seeing more on the upcoming PS4 exclusive, Dreams.

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.
