Gaming Weekly

Hello and welcome to episode 12 of gaming weekly. I hope you all are doing well. Now let's get right into this week's news.

Ubisoft shuts down online services for 90 older games. This isn’t much of a big deal because it doesn’t mean these games will become unplayable it just means that the multiplayer or any online-related part of the game will not be available anymore. Some of the games it affects are Just Dance 2016-2018, Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and so much more.

Nintendo decides to delay the Super Mario movie to 2023. The Super Mario movie was planned to be released in December of 2022 but Nintendo and Illumination say that it will now be released in the spring of 2023. The announcement was first made by the creator of Mario on Twitter through Nintendo of America’s account.

A lot of games on Playstation are now being required to include a game trial for their game. With Playstation’s new subscription tiers one of them includes free game trials to select games, so you can try them before you buy them. But Sony wants games that have a cost of $34 plus to include a game trial, and the trial must include at least 2 hours of gameplay. Games that cost less are not required to do so.

Speaking of Playstation’s new subscription tiers, they aim to release it to the US on June 13th. Sony targets for it to release first in Asia on May 23rd, followed by Japan on June 1st, the Americas on June 13th, and finally Europe on June 22nd. To remind you what this includes, it includes the PS Plus Essential (what PS Plus is rn) at $9.99 a month, PS Plus Extra (more PS4 and PS5 games) at $14.99 a month, and the PS Plus Premium (game trials and old PS titles) at $17.99 a month.

That’ll be it for this week's news. Turn in next week for more gaming news.
