The Last of Us Online was around '80 percent' complete before it was canceled, reflecting a significant investment in development that ultimately did not come to fruition.

Netflix has announced that its streaming service will stop working on Sony's gaming console from today. Affected users should have been sent a notification on their device, which reads: 'Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026. Visit netflix.com/compatible devices to see a list of supported devices.'

Marathon has sold 1.2 million copies since launch across console and PC, with an estimated 70 percent of those copies sold on Steam compared to 19 percent on PlayStation 5 and just 11 percent on Xbox Series X/S.

Anyone booting up Netflix on an old PlayStation 3 today ran into a depressing warning. The steaming app, which has been around for about 15 years now, is shutting down next month. RIP. On February 3, a Reddit user posted a photo of a TV displaying the following message: Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026. Visit Netflix.com/compatibledevices to see a list of supported devices. (R40)

The console wars died down not because any side won, but because it became irrelevant. Major games, seeking to make their gigantic budgets back, went platform agnostic. Where once companies had splurged on making consumers identify with specific console platforms, suddenly where you play games had become a much less defining factor.

A year after its launch, PGA Tour 2K25 arrives on PS Plus on March 3. The golfing sim is the sixth entry in 2K's PGA Tour series. The game lets players compete in three majors - The PGA Championship, The US Open, and The Open Championship - for the first time in the series. The sports title also features an expanded MyCareer mode, upgraded skill trees, and new customisation options.

Retail tracking firm Circana shared the top five most-played PlayStation games in the U.S. in 2026. The list is the same as it was last year, with Fortnite at the top. And looking back at 2023 and 2022, you'll notice that the most popular titles haven't changed much at all, either. That's bad news for developers trying to release new multiplayer games and fans hoping for more innovation.

If you read Kotaku even semi-regularly, you already know that Xbox has been in a weird spot for some time now. And with today's news that both Xbox boss Phil Spencer and President Sarah Bond are leaving and the new head of the brand will be a former Meta exec who previously lead Microsoft's AI division, I think it's time to call it. Xbox is dead. Time of death: February 20, 2026.

But right now, of all times, feels one of the worst possible moments to reveal Hunters Gathering to a world wide web primed to make a Kombucha Girl face at everything it's doing. The last two years have been littered with the corpses of failed, cancelled, or still dying live service games. A lot of players are, understandably, tired of these things and unsure of whether they should even invest any time into caring, as so many seem to flop or shut down.

Sony and Nintendo are reportedly feeling squeezed by RAM shortages as demand from AI data centers takes up an increasing share of memory chip production. In response to rising costs and dwindling chip supplies, Sony is considering pushing back the release of its next PlayStation console "to 2028 or even 2029," according to industry sources cited by Bloomberg, while Nintendo may increase the $450 price of its Switch 2 console this year.

Thousands of games are released every year, with numbers increasing recently thanks to an explosion of indie games across all platforms. That means there's more opportunity than ever to find something new and unexpected among the latest releases, but for a lot of players, the comfort of a few familiar games wins out. Newly released statistics show that, at least on consoles, the biggest games of 2025 were exactly the same as 2024's top titles. Do those figures point to an industry in crisis.

There has been a demo renaissance in the last few years, and we couldn't be happier. Demos have been a part of video game history for a long time, but whether or not they've been good for sales has been up in the air for quite some time. Fortunately, in the last couple weeks we've gotten a Dragon Quest 7: Reimagined and Final Fantasy 7 demo for Switch 2.
