Don’t Starve on the go: Giant Edition coming to PS Vita in September

Klei Entertainment has announced that Don’t Starve, the studio’s fantastic survival game, is coming to PlayStation Vita on September 2 with the Giant Edition, which includes the Reign of Giants DLC. While Reign of Giants costs an extra $5 on top of the base game on previous platforms, the combined Giant Edition will only cost $15 total.

Klei had to re-write enough of the code for the Vita port to render cross-play with PlayStation 4 version impossible, but it has implemented cross-buy, meaning that if you own Don’t Starve for PS4 then you can get it for free on Vita, and vice versa.

In the rash of crafting and survival games that came out in the wake of Minecraft, Don’t Starve was the first to really stand out with a voice and feel that is entirely its own. It trades in chunky voxels for charming, hand-drawn 2D animated sprites, and turns down the creative elements in favor of richer systems and more fully designed content.

Reign of Giants expanded the core game in every direction, adding more seasons, biomes and weather variation, two new characters, and the eponymous giants as one more of the countless, horrible ways you can die.

There is no word yet on if and when the Vita or PS4 versions will receive the Don’t Starve Together multiplayer expansion, announced earlier in 2014 for PC. We expect more news on that in the coming week as Klei promised to bring a playable build to PAX Prime.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
