⚡️Forza Horizon 6 in Tokyo, the setting fans WANTED for years, yet first impressions are already underwhelming 🤨
The franchise is famous for huge, dense open worlds and the next entry seems to keep that legacy, but the touted map features so far don't hide a nagging sense of unfinished design and a letdown compared to the hype.
🎮 Sony launched The Playerbase, a program to scan fans so their likeness can appear in PlayStation games. WANT to be in a game?
Open to residents of Europe, Asia, North & South America, South Africa and Australia: applicants answer questions, do a video interview about their most vivid PlayStation memory, and shortlisted candidates are invited to a studio for 3D scanning (travel + accommodation covered for the winner + one guest). The first slot goes to Gran Turismo 7: the winner will be placed on an in‑game portrait and can design a logo and car livery; results are due this summer. Sony stresses they won't turn you into Kratos or Aloy, they want to preserve your unique look.
⚡️ Spark in the Dark is now in Early Access, a HARDCORE action pick. Dive into the grim dungeon Dargrut, full of ruins, darkness and traces of mysterious Corruption.
The launch build includes the first three tiers: twisted corridors, traps, hidden routes and fights where a single mistake can be fatal. Combat emphasizes precision and smart resource use; the story slowly pieces together the fate of the lost Shi civilization. The devs call this just the beginning, more levels, mechanics and content are planned, and they're actively collecting player feedback.
🎂 inZOI patch 0.7.3 is live: manually triggering a birthday now reliably advances characters to the next age stage, even with auto-aging off. FIX for babies/kids who stayed toddlers after blowing out candles.
Building mode got a repair (decor placement on first-floor walls in houses with foundations), plus stability tweaks and fixes for several critical crashes.

Christopher Sundberg, head of Liquid Swords, explained why the crime action Samson is priced at $25 instead of the usual $70, he believes a lower price SAVES the game: better to overdeliver than disappoint players. For $25 you get a 10-hour campaign or over 25+ hours if you complete everything; the PC release is tonight. Plot snapshot: Samson returns to Tindalston, owes dangerous people, they use his sister as leverage, the clock is ticking. 💸

Launch, May 19 on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store) and Xbox Series with Game Pass; PS5 arrives sometime in 2026.
