With the release of Psychonauts and many others this week. Along with game release date announcements like Halo Infinites December 8ths date the gaming season seems very stacked.
It is defiantly a good time to be an owner of the elusive next gen consoles with not only coming up games but all the games that have already been released. Well with this date though we now know when both the multiplayer and the campaign are going to release. Coop and forge modes coming 6 to 12 months later. But what of the rest of the news from the day?
Surprise announcement we know you’ve been waiting for: the Enhanced Performance Patch for Horizon Zero Dawn on PlayStation 5 is live now!

Horizon Zero Dawn's new patch removed quality mode and has now given the PS5 a 4k checkered board 60 fps game. We will have to wait and see from framerate testers to see how stable this 60 fps can be. But knowing Guerilla games I doubt that this will leave that 60fps at all during everyone's test.
I'm a massive fan of all things zombies and it appears that state of decay 2 since its subpar launch has been doing work with now multiple new updates. It looks like we are getting another chance to revisit the State of decay 1 location again but this time years into the future. To be honest I wish with the new consoles they could be able to link all of these maps into 1 large area but it appears at this time we will still have to wait a bit longer for that to happen.
Psychonauts 2 has launched to massive fan and critic approval. Missing out on a great 90 and above score but still doing well for itself setting between an 86 and 88 depending on which platform you see yourself playing on. Non surprising it appears that there is a select group on twitter preparing to try and brigade this game with massive 0 review scores to try and push the fan engagement down. With how fanboys recently can't seem but to stop themselves from attacking each others games never playing them for themselves. Just goes to show you that they never grow up.
Sorry personal rant right there.
Beyond that we got more showing of Dying Light 2. I still have my Collectors edition on order. So I usually will ignore most of anymore content coming form that because I already am prepared for it.
Final note is that there are a new elite series 2 and series x console for Halo Infinite.
Honestly this was great to see that some custom looking consoles have started making appearances I wonder what else we will get over the coming years.
