Chill out with Gravity Ghost on PS4

Gravity Ghost Announcement Trailer | PS4
Tired of all the senseless violence and destruction in video games today? If you answered “yes,” then Ivy Games’ Gravity Ghost might just be for you, and the relaxation simulator is headed to PlayStation 4 with some extra stress-free content.

Gravity Ghost originally launched on Pac, Mac, and Linux earlier this year, combining tranquil puzzle-platforming with an all-star voice cast that includes Gone Home’s Sarah Elmaleh and Ashly Burch, known for Borderlands 2, Life is Strange, and the web series Hey Ash Watcha Playin? Her brother Anthony Burch was also the lead writer on Borderlands 2.

For its PlayStation 4 port, the game introduces a “new constellation with brand new challenge levels,” as well as an extra playable character. Ben Prunty, who also composed the music for FTL: Faster Than Light, contributed three additional songs for the PS4 release. All of this content is “timed PS4 exclusive,” suggesting that it will come to the previous platforms eventually, and possibly other unannounced consoles.

“I’ve been making games since 2005, but this is the first time I’ve ever made it to a console! Just opening the game and playing it on PS4 is a delight for me and I hope it will be for you as well,” Ivy Games founder Erin Robinson Swink says. Swink previously worked on several other indie games, including Little Girl in Underland and Nanobots. Her earlier work is available to download on her website, as are her comics.

No release date for the PlayStation 4 version of Gravity Ghost has been announced, but if you’re impatient, the DRM-free PC, Mac, and Linux versions are available for $15. It’s also available through Steam for the same price, or with the soundtrack included for $20. While Ivy Games calls it “a game to smooth your senses,” the last shot in the above trailer is truly the stuff of nightmares.

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.

The best Fallout 4 mods
Everyone's Best Friend

The Fallout games, at least since Fallout 3, have been absolutely massive games in both scale and popularity. The post-nuclear-war setting is rife with interesting stories to experience and monsters to kill. Fallout 4 was the last single-player entry in the series before Fallout 76 took the game into a persistent multiplayer experience. A large appeal of these games is how you are able to actually role-play and immerse yourself in the game world, which isn't so easy with other players jumping around in their underwear. Thanks to mods, it has never been a better time to revisit the last "pure" Fallout game.

Just like Skyrim, Fallout 4 mods are incredibly popular. Some are inspired to fix the numerous bugs and glitches Bethesda games have become famous for, while others look to add new features. As open and dynamic as the base game is, mods just open the door to an almost endless supply of tools you can use to extend the life of your game. With so many mods available, it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start. We've sorted through all the best Fallout 4 mods out there and came up with the best ones you should install before stepping out of the vault once again.
