The spoilsports at Amazon have leaked the news that Sleeping Dogs will be coming to the newest generation of consoles in October 2014, before publisher Square Enix has made any announcements. The Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One appears to include all previously released DLC and a 28-page book of concept art. According to the Amazon listing, the game will arrive on October 14, 2014 for $60.

Sleeping Dogs is an open world crime game in the vein of Grand Theft Auto that was released in 2012, but with an emphasis on hand-to-hand combat using a system that is somewhat reminiscent of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham series. You play as Wei Shen, a former San Francisco police officer who has returned to his native Hong Kong to infiltrate the Sun Yee On triads. The game’s story missions are divided between jobs for the triads and for the police, pulling your loyalty back and forth between the two factions.

Xbox, PlayStation, and PC: Is Elden Ring cross-platform?

Characters fighting on horseback in Elden Ring.

When it launched in 2022, Elden Ring was an immediate hit. The challenging game took everything great from previous FromSoftware titles and merged it with a sweeping open world to explore -- letting players venture in any direction just a few minutes after starting the game. That also made it incredibly daunting. Not only did you have to contend with nightmarish monsters and rage-inducing combat, but you had to figure out how to best reach your next destination without stumbling upon enemies that were twice your skill level.

Thankfully, Elden Ring makes use of a (cryptic) multiplayer system, allowing you to explore the Lands Between with a buddy by your side. You can also read and leave messages for other players, giving them tips and tricks to guide their journey. But is Elden Ring cross-platform, or are you stuck playing with folks on the same platform as you?
