Stray, which is also launching for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC on the same day, had its launch date confirmed at June’s State of Play online event. In it, players are a cat surviving in a dystopian city, pushing, moving, and knocking items off ledges to solve its many visual puzzles.
Marvel’s Avengers, from Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix, launched in 2020. It’s an ensemble brawler whose playable roster now stands at 11 heroes following several rounds of post-launch support.
The Ezio Collection is a remastered anthology comprising Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. It includes two short films, Assassin’s Creed: Embers and Assassin’s Creed Lineage.
Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry was a 2014 spinoff that concluded the colonial era/Age of Piracy story arc begun in Assassin’s Creed 3 and continued with Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag and Rogue.
The new format of PlayStation Plus launched in June, hoping to entice existing PlayStation Plus subscribers to upgrade to Extra or Premium service tiers, which absorbed most of the old PlayStation Now subscription library for streaming and download. PlayStation Plus Extra costs $14.99 per month; Premium costs $17.99 a month.
PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers get access to 400 PS4 and PS5 games; PS Plus Premium adds another 300 games, which include titles for PlayStation, PS2, and PlayStation Portable.
