Stellar Blade devs seem as confused as everyone else as the action-RPG’s PC port gets region locked in over 100 countries despite no PSN requirements: “May I ask where you live?”

Stellar Blade will be available on PC without requiring a PlayStation Network (PSN) account, but it is subject to region-locking limitations affecting over 100 countries, making it inaccessible to many potential players. This has led to frustration among users, as demonstrated by a tweet from a disappointed player. Shift Up, the game's developer, is engaging with users on Twitter to understand the situation better. While Sony has moved away from enforcing PSN requirements for its PC games, the region-locking issue persists in several recent releases, including The Last of Us 2 Remastered and Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

‘You can’t escape us’: Devolver plots to release a game on GTA 6’s release date, no matter when that is

Devolver Digital announced a cryptic message on X regarding the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6, stating, "You can't escape us. May 26, 2026 it is then." The publisher is known for titles like Cult of the Lamb and Death's Door and is expected to unveil a game on the same day as GTA 6. Enter the Gungeon 2 is set for a 2026 release, while Hotline Miami 3 is speculated but not officially announced. If Rockstar Games delays GTA 6, Devolver may choose to release their game as planned or delay it. The timing may favor Devolver, as GTA 6 is unlikely to be available on PC at launch, potentially attracting PC gamers to an indie title.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced launch is going poorly or well depending on how you look at it: It’s got a ‘mixed’ rating on Steam and is one of the most-played games

Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced has launched on Steam, attracting nearly 115,000 concurrent players, with a peak of over 187,000 in the last 24 hours, primarily due to being offered free to existing owners. However, it has not become one of Steam's top-selling games. The Steam rating for GTA 5 Enhanced is "mixed," with 56% of reviews positive, reflecting user frustration. Rockstar Support has noted that some online migrations may take additional time and that suspended or banned accounts may not be eligible for migration. The Enhanced edition has entered Steam's top 10 without significantly affecting the player base of GTA 5 Legacy, which has around 122,000 concurrent players. The Enhanced edition's player count briefly surpassed the Legacy version but has since stabilized. The combined player counts indicate strong engagement with the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
