“Returnal’s recent 2.0 update finally gave players a method to suspend their game, turn off their PS5, and return to the suspend point to continue their run. The catch? That suspend point erases when you return, meaning you can still absolutely bungle a run in the next area and have to run through the lengthy, punishing roguelike world all over again. Now players have discovered an exploit that turns that suspend point into a full-blown save point can be reloaded again and again like the save scumming monsters we are. As described by Inverse writer Joseph Yaden (and reported by Kotaku), the exploit requires you to suspend your save in-game, upload your save to PlayStation’s cloud servers, and then when you die, download the save from the cloud. This will allow you to return to your suspend point as many times as you want as long as it’s in the cloud, since it can’t be erased.”

“Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that, as of today, it’s removed the controversial XP and resource boosters from Marvel’s Avengers’ in-game store, as it takes the “first step in rebuilding [players’] confidence”. A few weeks ago, the title attracted immense ire from its community, after it introduced microtransactions which sped up the rate of progression. Subsequently, fans dug up a number of interviews from last year, where the developer categorically stated that it would only ever monetise cosmetics, like costumes and outfits. Furthermore, earlier in the year, the Californian team made the controversial decision to nerf XP progression, ultimately paving the way for these microtransactions to be introduced.”

“A new leak involving the NVIDIA GeForce service has revealed some of the PlayStation games that are coming to PC in the future, including Ghost of Tsushima and Returnal. The identity of several upcoming PC ports of console games was potentially revealed in September when a datamine of the NVIDIA GeForce service brought up several names and tentative release dates. The original leak featured several massive announcements, assuming that they are true. It included games like Kingdom Hearts IV, Chrono Cross Remaster, Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, and a PC port of Shin Megami Tensei V, which is currently meant to be a Nintendo Switch exclusive. NVIDIA responded to the leak, saying that the names were speculation only and shouldn’t be taken as gospel. Fans have doubted this statement, as at least one of the games on the list was proven to be legit when Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition was announced.”

“You may recall a furore earlier in the year, when it emerged that Sony consoles, like the PlayStation 5 and PS4, could potentially be rendered unplayable in the future due to an oversight in their design. The summary is this: the systems use an internal battery to verify Trophy unlocks, which need to be authorised by pinging a PSN server at least once in their life. The worry was that, one day, in the far-away future, the Japanese giant may disable its authentication servers, rendering games unplayable when the internal batteries inevitably die. Earlier in the year, the manufacturer fixed this issue on the PS4, and now it’s quietly released a similar resolution for the PS5. A video uploaded by Hikikomori Media shows PS5 software booting without the aforementioned CMOS battery installed, which wasn’t the case previously. The only exception is PS Plus software, but it makes sense that Sony would need to verify your subscription for these titles, so it’s not exactly the end of the world.”
