The latest PlayStation console exclusive is Kena: Bridge of Spirits, an indie game from Ember Lab. This action-adventure game has been hyped for the majority of 2021 and, thankfully, it ended up being one of the year's best games. In our Kena: Bridge of Spirits review, we praised its exploration, battle system, and visuals. Though it's a console exclusive for PS4 and PS5, you can also play this one on PC. The issue is that it's not entirely clear how to get your hands on Kena on PC since it isn't available on Steam or from most other launchers.

How to play Kena: Bridge of Spirits on PC

The main thing to know about this game on PC is that it's exclusive to the Epic Games Store. That's right — you'll need to download the client for EGS to get started before being able to purchase Kena: Bridge of Spirits. It's common for the Epic Games Store to feature exclusive games, as it makes the platform much more appealing.

Step 1: If you visit the Epic Games website right now, you'll be greeted with the option to download the launcher. Simply click the top right where it says Get Epic Games to do so.

Step 2: From here, you'll need to go through the steps of installing the launcher onto your computer, just like you would any other program. It's free to download, so as long as you have room on your computer, there's no downside. In fact, the platform often features free games for you to download, similar to PS Plus or Xbox Games With Gold — only they're actually free since you don't need to have a paid membership.

Step 3: After you've initiated the download, click through the prompts, and you'll eventually be asked to sign in. At this point, if you don't have an account, you can create one. After you've signed in, the EGS launcher will open and you'll be able to make your purchase.

Step 4: When it first launched, Kena was advertised all over the Epic Games Store, so it was easy to find. However, you can type in the name of the game in the search bar located in the top right of the screen to find it. Here, you can make your purchase. Keep in mind Kena: Bridge of Spirits costs $40. There's also a digital deluxe edition that costs $50, but comes with the soundtrack, a unique Kena Staff, and Golden Rot Skin.

The iPhone Duo may be the Nintendo DS replacement I didn’t expect

Apple’s new iPhone Duo already has plenty going for it as the company’s first foldable, but there may be another reason to get excited about those two screens: Nintendo DS games. Delta, one of the most popular retro game emulators available on iPhone and iPad, is working on dedicated support for Apple’s foldable. The news comes via RetroDodo, which reached out to Delta lead developer Riley Testut about whether the emulator would take advantage of the Duo’s unusual form factor.

Testut confirmed that dedicated iPhone Duo support is already in the works, although he stopped short of giving it a release date. And this feels like much more than Delta adapting to another new iPhone. The Duo’s folding design could finally give Nintendo DS games the kind of dual-screen setup that regular smartphones have always struggled to replicate.
