Sony taking PS4 owners on a Journey later this month

Journey Launch Trailer I Coming July 21 I PS4 Exclusive
Indie studio Thatgamecompany’s pensive, emotional adventure game Journey will find a new home on the PlayStation 4 later this month, publisher Sony announced.

Journey is a freewheeling 3D platformer that puts players on a pilgrimage to a mysterious distant land. The trek spans massive deserts and ancient ruins, and the wordless quest features emotional high points throughout.

Journey is also known for its inventive approach to online co-op, pairing players up with anonymous companions who are exploring the same stretch of territory at the same time. Players only have limited methods of interacting with one another, and the emergent ways in which co-op partners join and leave the quest puts a unique, personal spin on each playthrough.

Sony notes that the PlayStation 4 version of Journey will be available as a free download for players who previously purchased the game’s 2012’s PlayStation 3 edition. Players are also invited to share their personal experiences with the game at journey.playstation.com, a site that collects user tweets and videos praising Journey‘s uniquely structured quest.

Journey broke established PlayStation Network sales records upon its launch in 2012, and was later featured in a retail Collector’s Edition alongside its fellow Thatgamecompany-developed PSN standouts. Its soundtrack was nominated in the 2013 Grammy Awards for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. Journey is the third in a string of remastered PS4 ports from Thatgamecompany and designer Jenova Chen, following up on the 2013 launches of Flower and Flow for Sony’s newest console platform.

Journey will launch for the PlayStation 4 digitally via the PlayStation Network on July 21.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor finally coming to PS4 and Xbox One in September

EA and Respawn Entertainment have revealed that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will come out on September 17. That means players who only own last-gen consoles will be able to try out this excellent action-adventure game that was previously exclusive to PC and current-gen consoles.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and continues the story of Cal Kestis, who stumbles upon a new threat connected to the universe's High Republic era. I gave the game a four-star review when it launched in April 2023, writing that "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor still tells a thematically rich, character-driven Jedi tale in one of the most densely packed 3D Metroidvania games I’ve ever played. It’s now the definitive single-player Star Wars experience."

PlayStation 3.

The PlayStation 3 had a rough start. The price was high, and there weren't all that many great games compared to the best Xbox 360 games.

Since that time, video game graphics and gameplay have only gotten more realistic with the best PS4 games and even better with the best PS5 games.
