Add as a preferred source on Google

The PlayStation Hits roster continues to grow since the collection was launched in June, with God of War, Far Cry 4, and Watch Dogs among the newest additions.

The PlayStation Hits collection, which includes some of the best games ever released on the PlayStation 4, is locked in at a price of $20. The physical copies of the titles are marked with the familiar red label that Sony has used in previous iterations of the promotion.

The roster started with the likes of The Last of Us Remastered, Bloodborne, and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and recent additions include Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition, Nioh, and Resident Evil 7. Seven more titles will be included on October 4 to expand the collection to 46 games, namely:

  • Far Cry 4
  • God of War
  • Gran Turismo Sport
  • Rayman Legends
  • The Crew
  • Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
  • Watch Dogs

Other notable titles in the PlayStation Hits library include Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience, Persona 5, and Street Fighter V.

God of War may be considered the most impressive new addition to the PlayStation Hits collection. The game, widely seen as one of the best PlayStation 4 exclusives, breathes new life into the series by moving the protagonist Kratos from Greek mythology to Norse lore. The brilliant combat system, intense story, striking visuals, and open-ended exploration will make it a steal for only $20.

More games will be added to the PlayStation Hits lineup in the future, though which titles and when they will be included in the collection is anybody’s guess.

The PlayStation Hits games are a great way to reminisce the great releases for the PlayStation 4 and for players to catch up on titles that they have long kept an eye on, especially with the PlayStation 5 looming on the horizon.

The PlayStation 5, which may roll out as soon as right before the holiday season of 2020, was confirmed to be backward compatible with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games. It is also rumored to launch alongside the PlayStation 5 Pro, eliminating the waiting time for gamers who want an even more powerful version of the console.

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.

Sony is preparing to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, ending new purchases globally by July 2027. Less than two weeks after that announcement, the team behind RPCS3 revealed a very different milestone.

The open-source PS3 emulator now lists 75% of the console’s tracked library as playable on PC. That covers 2,681 of 3,559 games, and the rating means they can be completed with acceptable performance and no game-breaking glitches.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention. 

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.
