Ubisoft Says Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition Support Is Planned, Physical Version Skips Xbox

"Support for Rayman 30th Anniversay Edition has not ended".Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition was announced last week as part of Sony's State of Play conference for February 2026 - and despite a positive reaction to the game's reveal, save bugs and soundtrack concerns have dampened the release somewhat. Well, despite prior reports pointing towards the contrary, Ubisoft has confirmed that support for the game "has not ended".In a reply over on the Rayman subreddit, a Ubisoft employee shot down repo

New Report On PS6 Delay Throws Next-Gen Timing Into Doubt

Because of, you guessed it, RAM and SSD shortages.It's a bit of a whirlwind right now in terms of next-gen news, isn't it? We've heard directly from AMD that the next Xbox is "progressing well" to release in 2027, while other reports have suggested that component shortages and price increases could delay next-gen consoles into 2028 or even later. Today, Bloomberg adds fuel to that fire by suggesting that Sony is already considering pushing back its PS6 launch to "2028 or even 2029" - throwing ne

Review: Want A PS5 Controller For Xbox? Hyperkin's 'The Competitor' Is Good And Affordable

There's a lot to like about this budget option.There was a time when I never would have suggested that I'd enjoy using a PlayStation controller on Xbox. It was all about the analog stick placement — as soon as those sticks started to overtake d-pads as the main control method in the PS2/PS3 generations, Xbox's layout just made more sense and felt more comfortable to me.I'm not really sure what happened, but I quite enjoy using PlayStation controllers these days, and the same can be said for Hype
