Circana executive director and analyst Mat Piscatella writes on X (formerly Twitter) that the PS5 was the best-selling hardware platform of the month in both units sold and dollar sales, with Switch in second place for units sold and Xbox Series X/S in second place for dollar sales. After 39 months on the market, life-to-date unit sales of PS5 are tracking 7 percent ahead of the PlayStation 4’s pace, and 68 percent ahead of the PlayStation 3’s. Overall, though, January video game hardware spending fell 4 percent compared to January of last year, down to $378 million. 

Overall video game spending across all categories grew 15 percent when comparing January of this year to that of last year, reaching $5.1 billion. Piscatella notes that January 2024 was a five-week period for tracking, though, whereas January 2023 was a four-week period.

More specifically, that’s Warner Bros. Discovery chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels who said Rocksteady’s latest effort fell short of the company’s expectations. However, Wiedenfels did not mention a sales figure. According to IGN, the executive lamented that Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’s missed expectations set Warner Bros.’ games division up for a tough year when it comes to year-on-year comparisons.

If you haven’t yet checked out Penny’s Big Breakaway, it’s a 3D platformer modeled off the strange and weird platformers of the PlayStation 1 generation, rather than Nintendo’s popular platforming efforts. As such, the game features a unique moveset that feels similar to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, with a Devil May Cry combo meter to boot. 

Check out the Evening Star developer reach a massive 191-move combo in the first stage of Vanillatown, the first world in Penny’s Big Breakaway, below:

As you can see, this designer – Milena – completes the first level with one continuous combo. We’re not sure we’re quite up to the task but we wouldn’t be surprised if fans of the game spend time outcomboing this score. Only time will tell. 

Penny’s Big Breakaway is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.

It’s been a long time since Little Devil Inside, a promising survival action RPG from indie developer Neostream, has made any noise. The game’s last substantial update came in October 2021. But after over two years of silence, Neostream has come back with a new trailer and cryptic update hinting at what’s been going on with the team.

The rest of Neostream’s update indicates the team has reduced in size but confirms that the founders and core members remain at the studio. The studio assures backers that Little Devil Inside still exists and that it is currently discussing publishing before it can give fans a more substantial update. Until then, the team has prepared a six-minute montage video showing off the game running in Unreal Engine 5.

Little Devil Inside has no release window but we’re hoping to learn more concrete details in the near future. 

“[We’re] pleased to share that we are currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PS VR2 titles available through PS5,” a new PlayStation Blog post published today reads. “We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.”

The rest of the blog goes on to detail new and upcoming titles coming to PS VR2, but those are going to be playable with PlayStation 5 consoles. However, it sounds like PC support, which could open up a flood gate for new VR content, might arrive later this year.
