‘Driveclub’ for PS4 delayed into ‘early 2014’

The rumors are true: PlayStation 4 launch title Driveclub won’t be making its November 2013 release. Reports of a delay bounced around on the Internet for most of this past week, but a post on PlayStation Blog from SCE Worldwide Studios bossman himself, Shuhei Yoshida, confirms that we’ll see the game arrive in “early 2014.” Note that this also extends to the Driveclub PlayStation Plus Edition, a free version for Sony’s premium subscribers that features less content (cars and tracks) than the retail release.

To make up for the now-removed PlayStation Plus offering at launch, Yoshida confirms that Compulsion Games’ Contrast will be available instead through the PS Plus Instant Game Collection program. The game appears to be a surreal side-scrolling platformer with Old Hollywood in its heart. However, it’s definitely not the same type of experience as Driveclub offers, so if you’re looking for fast cars at the PS4’s launch, Need for Speed: Rivals is going to be your lone (and likely not at all terrible) choice.

This marks the second PS4 launch title in a week to be hit with a delay. Ubisoft pushed Watch Dogs, which is also due for just about every other non-portable current-gen platform you can think of, to spring 2014. The thinning launch lineup is not good news for Sony fans, especially with the PS4’s lack of backward compatibility. You’ll probably want to get your current-gen hardware handy, whichever machine it might be, for the next few months at least.

GTA 5 cheats: codes and phone numbers PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC
The main characters of Grand Theft Auto V stand side-by-side.

A slam-dunk of a game for the talented developers at Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V has been out for several years now, but it’s still an extremely popular title. We’re also guessing there’s some renewed interest in the game because the world knows we’re getting a Grand Theft Auto VI in the somewhat-near future. If you’ve ever played a GTA game, you’ll know the going can get a little tough from time to time. This is why it’s nice to live in a world with cheat codes. 

Whether you just want to have a ton of fun with unlimited health and ammunition, or you’re seriously struggling with a certain section of the game, we’ve rounded up all the cheat codes you’ll need to know for GTA V, for platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC.
How to use GTA 5 cheats
There are a few ways to enter GTA 5 cheat codes. The first and easiest is to use your cellphone. You can open your cellphone by pressing Up on the D-pad. From there, enter the corresponding number, and the cheat will fire. You can also classically input cheats by following a specific button combination. The combinations are the same across PlayStation and Xbox, but we've split them up to account for their different button-naming conventions, so it should feel more natural reading and entering them.

The Sims 4 is proving to be quite the popular life simulator, and a great addition to the long-running Sims series.

PS5 Pro: news, rumored release date, price, and specs

Rumors are running rampant about a supposed PlayStation 5 Pro, or PS5 Pro for short. Just like we got a mid-generation upgrade with the PS4 Pro  during the last console cycle, many people are expecting PlayStation to release an incrementally more powerful machine to bridge the gap between the launch unit and an eventual PlayStation 6. Leaks have been coming out from some fairly credible sources, with a lot of juicy and very specific details about what a hypothetical PS5 Pro could look like. As credible as these sources may be, we do still need to take everything we see with some skepticism until Sony officially confirms that this system even exists. Until then, here are all the rumors out there regarding the PS5 Pro.
Rumored release window

A constant release window that all leaks have pointed to is sometime in Fall of 2024. That's right around the corner, probably in the September through November range, meaning we should be getting an official announcement on the console if that is indeed the plan. It appears that PS5 Pro dev kits are now in the hands of more developers, who have been asked that PS5 Pro-enhanced games be submitted for certification in August. These developments point toward a 2024 release.
