Skewers April release date.
Sometimes, a game's core concept alone is enough to sell it — and that's exactly what Two Strikes is going for.
You may recall a title called One Strike, which released back in 2017 on PC, and 2018 on Nintendo Switch. As its name suggests, the pixel art fighter was based around the idea of one hit, one kill — and Two Strikes is its successor.

Title Update 1 is here.
It's been just over a month since Monster Hunter Wilds launched on PS5, and the action RPG's right back in the spotlight thanks to Title Update 1.

Must be funny.
Only 5% of PS5 fans “don’t have a problem” with $80 games. The remaining 95% are against a hypothetical price increase, as could become a reality due to Nintendo’s pricing of Mario Kart World.
But of the 1,500 gamers polled, 30% said they would “grudgingly” cough up the increased fee for “select titles”. It’d be interesting to know which franchises fans deem worthy of the price; we’d assume blockbusters like GTA and God of War.

Skills and holsters are all gone.
Naughty Dog deployed update 2.0 for the PS5 version of The Last of Us 2 Remastered earlier today to coincide with the PC port's release, but if you still have the option to, you might be better off cancelling the download for now.
PS5 players in the middle of a playthrough of the game are reporting in their droves that patch 2.0 has broken all of the character upgrades they've unlocked so far, removing them altogether.
