PlayStation fans are raising major concerns after reports that some PS4 and PS5 digital games may now show a 30-day license timer or require an online check-in. Sony has not officially clarified the issue yet, which has only made the DRM debate louder. With PS5 price increases also hitting some regions, this is becoming a much bigger conversation about digital ownership, preservation, and whether players truly own the games they buy.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is back… and this isn’t just a remaster.In Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft has rebuilt the game from the ground up using the Anvil engine, adding new story content, gameplay systems, and major quality-of-life changes that completely reshape the experience.From revamped parkour and combat improvements to new crew loyalty missions and expanded storylines for Edward Kenway, Blackbeard, and more, this is a deeper and more modern take on one of the most beloved Assassin’s Creed games ever made.In this video, I break down everything that’s changed, what actually matters, and whether this feels like the remake fans have been asking for.

I played The Expanse: Osiris Reborn beta and walked away wanting more, even if the build has some clear issues. Combat feels fantastic and the environmental destruction is a real highlight, but rough voice acting, stiff movement, easy enemies, and performance problems hold this early build back. Here’s my full reaction to Owlcat Games’ new sci-fi RPG and why I still think there’s real potential here.

Xbox just made a major change to Game Pass pricing and strategy, and it says a lot about where the platform is headed.Game Pass Ultimate is getting cheaper, but there’s a tradeoff. New Call of Duty games will no longer launch day one on the service, shifting to a later release window instead.In this video, I break down what changed, why Xbox made this move, and what it means for players going forward. This feels like a response to feedback, and potentially a bigger shift in how Xbox approaches Game Pass and its long-term strategy.

I didn’t get as much time with Diablo 4 as I wanted, but after about an hour, I was left wanting to play more.The gameplay feels good, builds are already opening up early, and there’s something here that really scratches that ARPG itch. But there’s one thing you should know before jumping in.The first hour is very story-heavy, and that’s intentional. Blizzard is clearly trying to get players invested in Lorath and the world before things really open up.In this video, I break down my early impressions, what worked, what didn’t, and who this approach is actually for.
