'Sackboy: A Big Adventure' won't include online multiplayer when it launches

Sumo Digital has announced that it would be delaying the complete online multiplayer function of Sackboy: A Big Adventure, which is one of the key games launching for the PlayStation 5.

Ned Waterhouse, design director at developer Sumo Digital, wrote in a blog post. "The team have been working hard to ensure that online is the very best experience it can be for players and we just need a little more time to get it right so you can enjoy it to the fullest with your friends and family."

This is how much usable storage you'll get from the PS5, Xbox Series S/X

While both next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft aren't out yet, new previously unknown details about the gaming machines are starting to surface, like how much usable storage you'll get. 

A leak about the PlayStation 5 suggests it'll have around 650GB of usable storage from its 825GB custom SSD. A screenshot from noted leaker Okami13 and shared by GamesRadar showed the system with 648GB free out of 667GB, including space taken by the free Astro's Playroom install. It takes up around 20% of the memory. It isn't clear, though, if the launch game's size is included in the console's storage space or if it was installed afterwards.

New details about Resident Evil 8 on the PlayStation 5 have been added to its official PlayStation Store listing, giving us a better idea of what to expect when the title launches on Sony's next-gen console. Visually, the upcoming horror sequel will 4K with ray tracing. It also promises fast load times because of the PS5's "ultra high-speed SSD."

On top of that, the game will take advantage of the DualSense controller with its adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, which can "simulate the effect of firing a real gun."

Sony shuts down Customize My Plates plans to sell custom PS5 covers

You might have heard of the third-party customized PlayStation 5 coloured plates being sold online. We actually even wrote about them. But Sony is not allowing the company to continue with its plans. The company even had to change its name from PlateStation to Customize My Plates. The company wrote a tweet on October 30 that it'll cancel all orders and processing refunds over the weekend. Once it's done, those who pre-order the plates will receive an email.

Customize My Plates isn't pushing through with the accessory to avoid ending up with court against the tech company. The brand is pivoting to offering vinyl skins instead.
