Check out our Murdered: Soul Suspect review.

Square Enix is set to bring Airtight Games’ “supernatural detective thriller” Murdered: Soul Suspect to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles in June 2014, the publisher confirms. The game was first announced for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in mid-2013, but this week marks the first time a release was confirmed for either of the two newer machines.

Murdered puts players in the role of Ronan O’Connor, a Salem detective who finds himself trapped in the limbo world of Dusk after he is slain by an unidentified killer. It’s your job as the player to help Ronan reach the afterlife by uncovering who murdered him and meting out some ghostly justice.

We haven’t seen a whole lot of the game since E3 (where we liked what we saw), but you can get a peek at what it looks like in the trailer below.

Sony’s next PlayStation could break free of the living room and I think it’s worth the risk

Component prices may be soaring, but Sony has more reasons than ever to take portable gaming seriously.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.

Xbox Game Pass deals are reportedly drying up, and that’s bad news for indies

Ask most players why they subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and they'll probably mention day-one Xbox exclusives. But developers have long viewed the service differently. For many indie studios, a Game Pass deal wasn't just extra exposure — it was financial security before launch.

Landing a Game Pass deal often meant guaranteed revenue before a game even launched, reducing the financial gamble of releasing an indie title into an increasingly crowded market. Now, that safety net may not be as dependable as it once was.

I just played Ghost of Tsushima on a phone. I never thought I’d see this day and I’m not regretting this misadventure

Running Ghost of Tsushima on the Red Magic 11S Pro almost feels wrong

I have tested plenty of gaming phones, but nothing quite prepared me for watching Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut boot up on the Red Magic 11S Pro. This was not cloud gaming or something like Remote Play from a PlayStation sitting somewhere else in the house. I used GameHub, linked it with Steam, and after some trial and error, had the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running on a phone--and it was far more playable than I expected.

And yes, it looked as ridiculous as it sounds. Seeing Jin Sakai on a phone screen with a GameHub overlay, virtual shoulder buttons, and a live FPS counter sitting on top made the whole setup seem a lot more viable.
