The Ascent:
It looks like one of 2021’s best Xbox exclusives is making its way to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this year.
The excellent Cyberpunk-themed action-RPG The Ascent released as a console exclusive for Xbox consoles last July. An impressive debut from Swedish developer Neon Giant, it’s a sweeping sci-fi adventure set in a stunningly detailed dystopia that blends exploration with punishing tactical battles.
FF 16
Final Fantasy fans are divided over the series’ future following a new report. Final Fantasy has been synonymous with PlayStation over the years, but recently Xbox has been working hard to change this. Yet, it seems like PlayStation is set to snag exclusivity back. Not only was Final Fantasy 7 Remake console exclusive to PlayStation, but Final Fantasy 16 is set to be as well. And apparently, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
According to a new report, Square Enix “is firmly in the camp” of Sony. This doesn’t mean Square Enix is going to be making PlayStation console exclusive games only, but it means fans of their games should anticipate exclusivity deals that range from time to permanent for upcoming titles. In fact, it sounds like all future Final Fantasy games this generation may end up being PlayStation console exclusives.
The information comes the way of VGC’s Jordan Middler, who claims that PlayStation is working to lock down Final Fantasy exclusivity for this generation, and so far, the fruits of the series back this up. The last mainiline installment, Final Fantasy 15, was released on both Xbox One and PS4 at the same time, yet its follow-up is set to skip Xbox platforms.
For now, none of this has been confirmed and it’s laced with speculation. That said, it’s not looking good for Final Fantasy fans on Xbox. From the sounds of it, these fans will need to either fork out for a PS5 or for a gaming PC. If Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s PC port is indicative of future Final Fantasy PC ports though, investing in a PS5 may be the shrewder move
New State of Play
Rumourmonger Tom Henderson, a freelancer at a number of major websites, reckons that a big PlayStation presentation is right around the corner. According to the scribe – who’s accurately leaked a handful of stories in the past – “the next Sony event looks like it could be in February based on this month’s media events and past PlayStation dates”.
It’s not entirely clear whether Henderson has inside sources on this, or whether he’s making an educated guess. We contacted him and he told us it’s a mixture of both, and he’ll share a full video with more information soon. In the meantime, he added: “It’ll probably be State of Play, but it has the potential to be a pretty big one in my opinion.” Make of that what you will.
One Hand DualSense
The PlayStation 5 might not have its own version of the Xbox Adaptive Controller, but that hasn’t stopped one modder from making something similar.
YouTuber Akaki Kuumeri recently — as part of a modding competition — designed and 3D printed his own grip for the PS5 DualSense controller that allows him to play one-handed. His initial model allowed for right-hand-only play, but the design is swappable for left-hand-only play as well.
