As part of The Game Awards, The PS Store is hosting a Demo Festival that appears to bring a number of pre-release testers to PS5 users. At the time of this writing, the tab on the PS Store only has two demos. The Mountain King and You Suck at Parking are for Bramble. The list should, however, expand given that a Forspoken demo is currently all but guaranteed.

Although neither listing currently mentions an expiration date, given that the promotion is connected to The Game Awards, it’s possible that they will do so sooner rather than later. The deals in a new PS Store sale that coincides with Geoff Keighley’s program are available through December 12th, 2022.

If any other demos are released, we’ll update this post. What game do you hope to start first?

Elon Musk announced in a tweet that Tesla is opening up its so-called full self-driving (FSD) beta to anyone who has paid for it after gradually opening it up over the past few years. In North America, he added, “Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have purchased this option.”

With automated features like automated city steering, automatic parking, smart vehicle summoning, and traffic light/stop sign recognition, FSD builds on Tesla’s “Autopilot” driver-assist feature. The feature is a paid upgrade that costs $15,000 after a $3,000 price increase in September.

Congrats to Tesla Autopilot/AI team on achieving a major milestone!

Tesla initially stated that it would introduce fully autonomous driving features in 2018, but they didn’t actually do so until July 2021, to a select group of “careful and expert drivers.” The version 9.0 beta saw a wider release, but testers could only participate in an early access program. Tesla removed the requirements for at least 100 Autopilot miles and an 80 safety score on the most recent FSD release, so now anyone can get it.

However, Tesla is widely implementing FSD at a time when regulators are closely monitoring it. In a recent expansion of its investigation into a string of Tesla crashes involving first responders, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now looking at most models. It is also looking into more than 30 incidents involving Autopilot in a separate investigation.

Musk has long promised fully autonomous vehicles without a human driver. Most recently, he said he believed it might come this year, but in Tesla’s most recent earnings report, he backtracked on those statements. Following Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, the price of Tesla’s stock has been falling precipitously recently.

The unreasonably high proposal by Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard has led to a drawn-out and difficult period of discussions. Without going into too much detail, the short version of this is that Sony is attempting to block the purchase, while Xbox, of course, is urging regulators to approve it. The most recent assertions have been made public, and according to Microsoft, Sony’s first-party work is superior than its own.

The business argues that because Sony has more exclusive titles, it doesn’t have require games like Call of Duty to be successful. Microsoft claims that many of Sony’s first-party games are higher quality than its own creations, despite this. To put it another way, the company has admitted in writing that its own games fall short of those produced by Sony.

Apparently “equal in size to Activision and roughly double the size of Microsoft’s game publishing company,” the article continues by referring to Sony as “the dominating console provider” and a “strong games publisher.”

It is merely one of numerous refutations to Sony’s own account regarding the entire song and dance (which, by the way, makes allusions to the inevitable PS6). To try and secure this deal, Microsoft is at pains to show out that Sony will be OK without Call of Duty, framing itself as the underdog while making the aforementioned arguments. All of this is very taxing, don’t you think?
