By Adam Rosenberg Published December 7, 2014

UPDATE: It’s official. Street Fighter V is coming exclusively to PlayStation 4 and “PC,” as the previously leaked and now official trailer above confirms. Sony’s Adam Boyes noted on stage at PlayStation Experience that PS4 is the only console that SF5 “will ever appear on.”

The PSX keynote also brought the news that Ultra Street Fighter IV is coming to PlayStation 4.

ORIGINAL POST: Street Fighter V is coming, and it’s exclusive to PlayStation 4 and unannounced PC platforms (probably just Windows, given the Windows-only compatibility of Street Fighter IV). Probably. The news comes from what appears to be a leaked trailer that hypes the upcoming release. There’s no release window or anything else at this time.

The trailer, which you can view right here (for now, until it’s pulled), forgoes any looks at gameplay in favor of an inspirational short (that’s the intent, anyway) that talks about harnessing creative energy and pushing past personal barriers, all with Street Fighter-themed imagery playing behind it. The trailer ends with a logo (above) and onscreen text that notes the platform exclusivity.

Capcom, publisher of the Street Fighter series, has yet to publicly address the apparent leak. The official Street Fighter Twitter feed did note series executive producer Yoshinori Ono will be in attendance at the weekend’s PlayStation Experience event. Between that and the onslaught of reveals planned for Geoff Keighley’s Game Awards on December 5, it’s likely that the trailer will be officially available sooner rather than later.

PlayStation’s disc-killing move may have blindsided the very partners keeping its games business alive

Sony’s reported shift away from physical discs allegedly caught publishers, regional teams, and retail partners off guard, turning a gamer ownership fight into a business trust problem.

PlayStation’s reported move away from physical discs already looked bad for players who still care about owning games. Now it sounds messy for the companies expected to sell, support, and build around Sony’s ecosystem.

High Chaos Run reports that Sony’s decision to end physical disc production for PS5, and likely PS6 in 2028, came without warning publishers, business partners, or some regional operations. If accurate, Sony didn’t only create another fight over PlayStation discs. It left parts of its own games business catching up after the decision was already public.

You don’t need a Switch to play Mario Kart. This YouTube video somehow lets you join the race.

Someone smuggled Rainbow Road into YouTube, and it kind of works

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

A pair of creators has found a way to make YouTube more than just a video streaming experience. You can now play Mario Kart inside it. Atlas Arcade and Animated Subtitles have created a fan-made interactive video that lets desktop users drive through Rainbow Road using keyboard controls.

It lasts just over a minute and offers a stripped-down version of the familiar kart-racing experience, yet the technical trickery behind it is far more interesting than its size suggests. This is not an official Nintendo release or a complete browser port of Mario Kart. It is a YouTube video twisted into behaving like a game, and that may be even cooler.

Xbox spins off four studios, including Senua-maker Ninja Theory, as mass layoffs begin

Thankfully, these cuts won't lead to cancellation of any publicly announced first-party games or projects.

Microsoft's Xbox division has kick-started a big reset today, a move it has been hinting at for weeks. The company has announced layoffs covering approximately 3,200 roles throughout 2027, of which nearly half of the roles are being terminated starting today. Additionally, the gaming arm is letting go of four studios, including Ninja Theory, which developed the smash hit Senua series of games. Notably, the company assures that none of the first-party games that have already been announced will be affected or cancelled.
