Telltale Games’ Jurassic Park will be available on both Playstation Network and Xbox Live here in the U.S. on November 15, but European Xbox gamers will likely have to wait until 2012 to get in on the dinosaur-filled fun.

Over at the developer’s official website, one of the Telltale team announced the delay for Xbox Live, and said the company hopes to have word soon on the European release date the title on Microsoft’s gaming network.

“Europe is a big deal to us so we’re working hard to have the game out on PSN in Europe on the same day as here in North America. We’ll be able to confirm that soon hopefully,” wrote the Telltale rep.

“As for Xbox 360, we are not a European publisher i.e., we don’t have a European office. That means that we need a publishing partner over there to get the game out to you,” the rep continued. “The good news is that we’ll be able to make an announcement on that soon. So, while we won’t be able to get the 360 version to you before the end of the year, we’ll do everything that we can to get it to you as soon as possible.”

Still, Playstation Network gamers here and abroad should have no problem getting their fix of Jurassic Park right on schedule. The game will also be available on PC the same day, too.

All cross-platform games (PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC)

Two squads of heroes clash in an Overwatch 2 trailer.

Cross-platform support is becoming more important in the world of video games. Multiplayer hits like Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and Fortnite have pushed crossplay into the limelight, and now most AAA multiplayer games release with at least partial cross-platform support. Finding every cross-platform game is no easy feat, though, so we did the hard work to bring you a comprehensive list of games that support crossplay.

Unfortunately, there aren't any rules when it comes to crossplay, so each game handles the feature a little differently. To make matters more confusing, certain backward-compatible games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X still support crossplay on the most recent hardware, even if there isn't an official release for that hardware.

How to turn off the DualSense controller speaker on PS5

PS5 Dual Sense controller on a dark background.

There are a lot of creative features integrated into the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller, including a small speaker that is often used to add a layer of immersion in certain games. However, if you're annoyed by this speaker's interruptions — or if you're just trying to cut down on noise while folks are sleeping, perhaps — you can actually disable this feature altogether. Here's how to turn off the DualSense controller speaker on your PS5.

PlayStation Portal 2: 8 features we want in Sony’s next-gen handheld

A PlayStation Portal boots up.

After the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita, there wasn't much hope that Sony would create another handheld system. Both consoles failed to establish themselves as meaningful parts of PlayStation's ecosystems despite having passionate fan bases. That's what made the initial reveal of the PlayStation Portal so surprising, at least until we knew exactly what it was. As an accessory, the PlayStation Portal is a decent device for some situations. It makes remote play easy and combines all the cool features of the DualSense controller with a great display. However, it does leave a lot to be desired for those hoping for a bit more from a new PlayStation device. Should Sony decide to iterate on this novel idea, there are a few features we think it needs to have to be a true success.

We're not going to ask Sony to completely overhaul what it established with the PlayStation Portal. For as much as we'd love for a fully dedicated handheld like a Vita 2, that's just too far beyond what we can hope for.
