Games

Two titles have been discounted for the PS4 on the PS Store. Until 22 April, you can pick up Battlefield 4 and Need for Speed Rivals for €49.99 / $69.95 / £39.99 each. [via PlayStation Blog]

More PS3 and PS Vita titles have also been added to the Easter Sale on the PS Store. You can see the full list here.

Naughty Dog and Sony are “looking into” the possibility of discounting the PS4 version of The Last of Us for owners of the game on PS3. The suggestion was made in the comments section of the PlayStation Blog.

It would appear that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may not make an appearance on Xbox One at all. Activision has announced that it has indefinitely delayed the Xbox One version of the game, telling MCV that “when and whether ASM2 is released on Xbox One is TBD.” No reason has been given, but is this a sign of issues with the Microsoft console, one feels the need to ask.
