Hitman 3 Requires PS4 Version For VR Mode

VR support for upcoming PlayStation games is a little more confusing than we imagined. If you’re looking forward to playing Hitman 3 in first-person to truly become Agent 47, you’ll actually be doing it with the PS4 version of the game. Yes, even if you have a PS5.

Speaking to UploadVR, Sony explained that because the PlayStation VR headset acts as a backwards compatible unit on PS5, you need the PS4 version of Hitman 3 in order for it to work. The PS4 version includes a free next-generation upgrade if you play it on the newer console, so you should still be able to experience the enhanced visuals when outside VR. The entire “World of Assassination” trilogy is playable both in and out of VR.

It appears No Man’s Sky will be doing something similar to achieve VR support on PS5, using the PS4 version of the game, though the enhanced power of the new console should at least improve loading times and performance.

From Software Mentions Elden Ring, Knows We’re All Impatient

From Software announced its dark fantasy role-playing game Elden Ring back at E3 2019, promising more open-ended design and a world created with George RR Martin’s input. Since then, we’ve heard basically nothing about the game, and the developer knows fans are clamoring for more information.

Fans have grown increasingly impatient, making joke conspiracy theory posts claiming the game is going to show up at a variety of events. Some particularly excited fans have even made their own fake lore demo to show off what the game could look like.

Ruined King: A League Of Legends Story Comes To Consoles And PC In 2021

League of Legends has been among the most popular games in the world for several years, and it has managed to do it without appearing on consoles. However, that is going to change next year–kind of. Ruined King: A League of Legends Story comes to consoles and PC in 2021, and it offers a single-player role-playing experience to expand the world of Runeterra and introduce it to new players.

Launching early next year on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, with Xbox Series X, Series S, and PS5 versions to follow a short time after with cross-buy, Ruined King is being developed by Airship Syndicate. The studio most recently created the underrated Darksiders Genesis, and the game uses a turn-based battle system that should be familiar to RPG fans.

You’ll form a part with several champions from the main League of Legends game, including Braum, Yasuo, Ahri, Pyke, and Miss Fortune. It features two different regions–Bilgewater and Shadow Isles–and the story focuses on a “corrupt and mysterious enemy.”
