Now that Don’t Starve: Console Edition is out on PlayStation 4 – and as a free download if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber! – Klei Entertainment is ready to tease what’s next for the visually striking survival game. A new trailer teases Reign of Giants DLC as “coming soon,” though there’s no date or even platform listed for the add-on’s release. All you get is a quick close-up shot of a hand-drawn giant’s ugly mug.

It’s a safe guess that the Reign of Giants DLC will introduce some manner of giant to the game. In Don’t Starve, your character is deposited into a randomly generated world with no resources and no real direction. You’ve got to figure out how to feed yourself, how to survive the deadly night, how to prepare for the even more deadly winter. There’s a lot of trial and error, a lot of ignominious dying. Even after you get everything figured out, a lousy starting point in a new world can end your fun quickly.

Klei’s post revealing the upcoming DLC doesn’t offer any info that you can’t get from the trailer, but you can check it out here. Or you can just watch the trailer below.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.

If you’re not using PlayStation Stars, you’re missing out
Three phone screens with the PlayStation Stars app.

I wouldn't blame you if you forgot PlayStation Stars existed. In fact, I would guess the majority of people out there have no idea what that even is, but PlayStation's reward program deserves more attention than it's getting.

Launched in the summer of 2022, PlayStation Stars is a program meant to reward players for engaging with the PlayStation ecosystem. You can take on challenges to earn digital collectibles and, more importantly, coins that can be redeemed for games, store credit, and some premium in-game currencies.
