By

Sony has revealed the next batch of games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra in June, and the highlight is Far Cry 6.

Today’s PlayStation Blog announcement also teased a major feature coming to PlayStation Plus Premium in the future. “We’re currently testing cloud streaming for supported PS5 games – this includes PS5 titles from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Game Trials, as well as supported digital PS5 titles that players own,” Nick Maguire, SIE Global Services vice president, said. “When this feature launches, cloud game streaming for supported PS5 titles will be available for  use directly on your PS5 console.”

Currently, cloud gaming on PS5 is the primary way to play PS3 titles on the system. While this expansion of cloud gaming on PlayStation does not have a launch window, we’d expect it to become available before the launch of the Project Q cloud gaming handheld teased during the last PlayStation Showcase.

ZA/UM explains what sets Project C4 apart from Disco Elysium
Subjective art based on Studio ZA/UM's Project C4

Earlier this month, Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM teased a new RPG known as Project C4. It described the game as "the next genre-defining RPG from ZA/UM, the studio behind Disco Elysium" and "a mind-warping story of espionage and team-building in an original yet achingly familiar setting." The announcement was met with mixed feelings considering everything the studio has been through since the release of Disco Elysium.

Several important staff members critical to Disco Elysium's development were reportedly pushed out of ZA/UM, and multiple projects were canceled. Now, the studio is reemerging and drawing direct connections to Disco Elysium to promote its next title -- although it's not a sequel -- as former ZA/UM developers spin up Disco Elysium successors elsewhere. It's an odd situation surrounding what should be a surefire indie RPG hit, so I was interested in seeing the game for myself at GDC 2025.

Wolfenstein meets Prince of Persia in this free retro game
Prince of Prussia

Prince of Prussia is a new, free retro-inspired title from Adamatomic that combines the brutal, unforgiving platforming of Prince of Persia with all the Nazi-killing fun of Wolfenstein. Oh, and did we mention you can play it in your browser? It's available from adamatomic.itch.io/prince, and all you need is a keyboard (though a gamepad might make it slightly easier.)

Prince of Prussia throws the player in head-first with a single message that sums up the entire game: "God damn Nazis. You're in jail, and they're alive. You can fix this." It's tongue-in-cheek in the best way, with all the retro-charm you could ask for — as long as you're willing to start over a lot.

Nintendo Switch 2 Direct: how to watch and what to expect
A Switch 2 in its dock.

Years of waiting are finally coming to an end (one more time). After a short reveal earlier this year, Nintendo is finally lifting the entire lid on the Switch 2. On April 2, the company will host a Direct presentation entirely built around the console. While Nintendo has been tight-lipped on what exactly will be shown, you can expect it to give us a release date, price, and launch games at the very least. It's sure to be one of the biggest live stream presentations of the year, so you won't want to miss it -- even if you aren't planning on buying a Switch 2 right now.

Want to make sure you catch it when it airs? We've got you covered. Here are all the details for April 2's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, including when it airs, when you can watch it, and what you can expect to see during it. And if you can't watch it live, we'll be recapping it all live as it happens.
When is the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is set to air on Wednesday, April 2. It'll kick off at 6 a.m. PT, so fans on the west coast will need to wake up bright and early for it. Nintendo has yet to say just how long it'll be, but its 2017 Nintendo Switch reveal lasted just over an hour. You can likely expect about the same here.
Where to watch the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
As is the case with every Nintendo Direct, you'll be able to stream it on Nintendo's official YouTube channel. We'll embed the placeholder video in this article as soon as it goes live. We also expect that Nintendo will embed the stream into its own website if you feel like watching it there instead.
