Update: The LEGO 2K Drive is now official after 24 hours. On May 19, 2023, it will be available for PS5 and PS4, and you can watch the official reveal teaser above.

Original story: It appears like LEGO 2K Drive is destined for a lifetime of leaks after IGN unintentionally hit accelerate on the game’s announcement post, causing it to go live 24 hours earlier than planned. This comes after many leaks earlier in the week that compelled the Danish toy producer to publicly deny the project’s existence.

The game sounds fantastic, which is good news. Awarded NBA 2K developer Visual Concepts is in charge of this “AAA driving adventure game,” which will launch on May 19 for PS5 and PS4. The screenshots clearly show Forza Horizon, but there will be a complete customization system that will enable you to build vehicles out of more than 1,000 different LEGO bricks.

Also, there will be licensed vehicles available at launch, such as the McLaren Solus GT, and a Drive Pass will support the game after it has been released. Four post-release seasons, each with fresh cars and themes, will contain this. The Awesome Edition ($99.99) and Awesome Rivals Edition ($119.99) both have automatic access to it. Your additional purchase choices at launch will be as follows:

Standard Edition (PS5: $69.99; PS4: $59.99)
A new car, vehicle flair, an in-game minifigure, and the Year 1 Drive Pass are all included in the Awesome Edition ($99.99).

Several vehicles, a vehicle flair, numerous in-game minifigures, and the Year 1 Drive Pass are included in the Amazing Rivals Edition ($119.99).
The Aquadirt Racer Pack, which includes a new Street Vehicle, Off-Road Car, and Racing Boat, will also be included with pre-orders. And yes, this will be a multi-discipline racer with choices for single player, online multiplayer, local split-screen, and more. Obviously, we still have to wait for the complete revelation, but in our opinion, this is building up amazingly.

Despite popular belief, PS4 sales in the UK skyrocketed last year

PS4 sales in the UK climbed by a shocking 633 percent year-over-year in 2023, so apparently the old system isn’t dead yet. The previous year’s very limited supply of the system is likely a major factor in this figure, since the console’s lifespan was drastically reduced because of chip shortages caused by the pandemic. Still, it’s proof that PlayStation’s original platform has unmet demand.

With the very low prices of PS4 software (both in-store and online at the PS Store), this strategy makes a lot of sense. Plus, it’s future-proof, so there’s no harm in stocking up on PS4s while new-gen pricing is still high, since if you decide to switch to a PS5 in the future, you can transfer all of your purchases across. Not to mention that the majority of new releases still come out on the PS4, with several offering free PS5 upgrades.

While the percentage rise may seem huge, real PS4 sales will probably be much lower. It’s a sign that the gadget, which is now a decade old, isn’t completely dead yet, and we expect it to keep receiving maintenance for a while longer. Of course, this is great news for Sony, because the company would rather have PS4 players playing on its last-gen gadget than none at all, even if it would love to have them upgrade to PS5.

A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?

Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:

  • We updated system software security
  • We improved system software stability and performance
  • Some screens now have better messages and usability

That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.

Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.

Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.

Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?
