Nintendo of America and Interstate Scholastic Esports Alliance (ISEA) have announced a partnership “to make gaming competitions more social, accessible, and rewarding”.
Starting later this year, school-organized tournaments and events for grades 4 through 12 will be able to utilise Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Splatoon 3, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for competitive play on the Switch and Switch – OLED Model, with the partnership potentially reaching “80,000 elementary, middle, and high school students across 23 states”.
For the past 15 years, PlayStation Plus has served as a welcoming home for indie games, connecting players with some of the most innovative, heartfelt, and personal experiences the world of video games has to offer. The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (included with PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium memberships) puts a huge library of indie games right at your fingertips—but with so many games available, it’s possible for even some of the best to escape your notice.
As we’ve entered the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus, we’ve rounded up 15 of the best indies from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. These are games that you might have missed, but you absolutely shouldn’t.
A Space for the Unbound
A Space for the Unbound delves into the lives of teenagers living in Indonesia in the 1990s, at first telling an endearing slice-of-life story about friendship and first loves. Then things start to get weird. As supernatural elements weave their way into the point-and-click adventure of high schoolers Atma and Raya, A Space for the Unbound quickly becomes a powerful, impactful, and highly relatable experience.

Abiotic Factor
The incident that turned Gordon Freeman into an HEV suit-wearing hero was just another day at the office for everyone else at Black Mesa. Abiotic Factor takes inspiration from the random lab employees stuck at work on the day an errant experiment rips a hole in another dimension, but imagines the experience as a survival game instead of a first-person shooter. Trapped in the facility with up to five friends, you’ll need to seek out resources like food and water, and craft weapons out of office supplies—all while avoiding the otherworldly creatures that are your new neighbors.
Publisher: Playstack | Developer: Deep Field Games | PS5
Another Crab’s Treasure
If Dark Souls took place in Sponge Bob’s underwater town of Bikini Bottom, it might look something like Another Crab’s Treasure. As a hermit crab named Kril, you set out to reclaim your shell after it’s repossessed, and soon find yourself scavenging trash to use as armor and weapons to fight off tough creatures. Another Crab’s Treasure tells a lighthearted tale set in an unsanitary sea, but don’t let the colorful palette and funny characters fool you: It also packs some serious boss battles to put Souls-like fans through their paces.
Blue Prince starts with a death. The baron of Mount Holly Manor has passed away, leaving the 45-room estate to you—but only if you can manage to find and enter its 46th room. That’s a challenge, as each door you open leads to your choice of room, forcing you to plot a new course through its halls, bedrooms, and kitchens with each new day. Blue Prince, a Day One addition to the PlayStation Plus Catalog, is delightfully dense with puzzles, secrets, and mysteries that combine to become much more than they first appear.
Publisher: Raw Fury | Developer: Dogubomb | PS5
Celeste
Madeline has something to prove to herself, and that’s why she’s going to climb a mountain. It’s not an easy feat, however—though the controls of side-scrolling platformer Celeste are relatively simple to pick up, it takes mastery of precise jumps and dashes to ascend through level after level. Celeste uses its excellent platforming to tell a surprisingly deep and emotional story, as Madeline struggles to fight back her inner demons all the way to the summit.

Citizen Sleeper
Sci-fi RPG Citizen Sleeper charges you with finding a way to escape your corporate indentured servitude as a sleeper—a digitized human mind inhabiting a robot body. What follows is a haunting and human story played out through a series of small events, where table top RPG-style dice rolls, coupled with your choices, determine what happens. It’s easy to get lost trying to eke out a living in Citizen Sleeper’s imaginative sci-fi future, one that’s bleak at times, and hopeful at others.
Publisher: Fellow Traveler Games | Developer: Jump Over the Age | PS5, PS4
Cult of the Lamb
Touched by a dark god, an incredibly cute lamb is sent into the world to bring its Word to other cuddly critters. Grow your flock and gather resources to build and manage an ever-growing compound where your followers live, work, and occasionally volunteer to be sacrificed to their fell deity. When you’re not building up a home for your followers, you’ll venture out into the world to vanquish other powerful cult leaders, giving Cult of the Lamb a devilishly delightful mix of colony building and rogue-like gameplay.
Publisher: Devolver Digital | Developer: Massive Monster | PS5, PS4
Dead Cells
Hacking and slashing has perhaps never been so refined—or so expansive—as it is in Dead Cells. The side-scrolling “roguevania” sends you out into various shifting locales to fight through hordes of creatures, and provides you with a host of inventive weapons to do so. Knives and swords are cool, but how about an automated crossbow turret? How about a crossbow turret that sets people on fire? How about a fiery crossbow turret that sprays poison? With a huge number of weapons to unlock and upgrades to earn, Dead Cells will constantly keep you returning to its speedy, intense combat for just one more run.
The gentle rolling seas are calling, and with your fishing boat, you can venture out to haul in a catch and make a decent living. Just don’t worry too much about those twisted abominations that sometimes fill your nets, or the strange shapes that creep in the dark fog. Dredge is sometimes a relaxing fishing game, sometimes a strange tale of supernatural mystery, and sometimes a single boat’s journey into the eldritch unknown; it turns out that fishing and horror work extremely well together.
Publisher: Team17 | Developer: Black Salt Games | PS5, PS4
Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition
Inspired by side-scrolling classics like Metroid and Mega Man X, Hollow Knight sends you deep into a fallen insect kingdom known as the Hallownest to put a stop to an infection that has cursed its people. Exploring the tunnels and cities of Hallownest takes you on a sprawling adventure to fight colossal creatures, meet and battle other bugs, and uncover the mystery of what destroyed a once-great civilization.
Publisher: Team Cherry | Developer: Team Cherry | PS4
Paradise Killer
This dazzlingly bizarre and stylish murder mystery throws you into a surreal world of gods, syndicates, and cosmic corruption. As Lady Love Dies, you’re tasked with solving a murder on a tropical island outside of space and time. The game’s open-ended investigation, vaporwave aesthetic, and synth-laced soundtrack create an intoxicating atmosphere where every clue matters and every accusation is yours to make. Paradise Killer is a bold, genre-defying detective experience and a must-play for ’80s-inspired synthwave fans.
Publisher: Fellow Traveller | Developer: Kaizen Game Works | PS5, PS4
Tetris Effect: Connected
Few games create a more all-encompassing zenlike experience than Tetris Effect: Connected. The classic puzzle game is elevated by captivating visuals and a phenomenal soundtrack that sync perfectly with your play, pulling you into a block-dropping flow state that’s only elevated by the ability to play with up to four other people. Tetris Effect: Connected is the next stage in evolution of one of the best games of all time.
Publisher: Enhance Games | Developer: Monstars, Resonair | PS5, PS4
Moonlighter
Ever wonder what the shopkeepers of an RPG town get up to when you’re not around? In Moonlighter, you play a merchant who goes dungeon-crawling by night to find new wares to sell by day. Your skills in capitalism help to fuel your nightly adventures as you delve deeper into the dungeons, taking on hulking bosses in hopes of finally leaving the shopkeep life behind and making it as a full-time hero.
Publisher: 11 bit Studios | Developer: Digital Sun | PS4
Undertale
Funny, heartfelt, and unexpected, Undertale might be one of the most beloved indie games ever made. It tells the story of a human who falls into the subterranean world of monsters, but flips RPG genre conventions on their heads with a battle system that gives you the option to talk your way out of fights and spare the many creatures who attack you. Emotional, often-hilarious writing and strange, well-realized characters have made Undertale memorable, but it’s the choices you make that will define your journey.
Publisher: 8-4 Ltd. | Developer: Toby Fox | PS4
Untitled Goose Game
A town full of people is just trying to live in peace—unfortunately for them but luckily for you, a goose is loose. Untitled Goose Game finds hilarity in the simple chaos of a goose stealing stuff, honking at people, and generally ruining everyone’s day. Racing around a series of sandbox areas, it’s your goal to get into as much trouble as you can, with a variety of goals to fulfill, puzzles to solve, and angry townspeople to evade and bewilder.
Publisher: Panic Inc. | Developer: House House | PS4
These are just some of the great games that are worth your attention—there are a whole lot more in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Head to playstation.com to see the full library to find a heap of excellent indies worth exploring.
Still troubled by Monster Hunter Wilds’ stubbornly sedate PC performance, even after multiple patches claiming to grease its framerate gears? The good news is that Capcom have committed to pushing through performance and stability updates into, at the very least, Winter 2025. The bad news is that Capcom also say they won’t have finished their performance and stability improvements until, at the earliest, Winter 2025.
As we exclusively announced earlier this year, we’re finally getting our first first-person Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game – and first TMNT game in VR to boot. It’s called TMNT: Empire City, and in the new developer diary video above, you’ll get a look at some first-person parkour/traversal gameplay in this early look at the upcoming co-op action-adventure starring your favorite heroes in a half-shell.
Creative director Ace St. Germain gives some insight on the first-person VR parkour mechanics of Empire City: “Movement through sewers is slower and stealthier, while above-ground movement emphasizes parkour, allowing for fast and vertical exploration. We’re not recreating the full New York City but are focusing on key areas. The city’s haze and mist are narrative devices, rather than invisible walls. The architecture is inspired by real New York buildings, like the Confucius Plaza (renamed “Wise Man Building”). Using hands for parkour, players can grab ledges, dash mid-air, and launch themselves dynamically. Zip lines and uninterrupted momentum mechanics enhance freedom of movement. This verticality is essential for exploration, combat, and player expression.
You can wishlist TMNT: Empire City on Steam if you’re interested.
Ryan McCaffrey is IGN’s executive editor of previews and host of both IGN’s weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He’s a North Jersey guy, so it’s “Taylor ham,” not “pork roll.” Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
Please, for the love of all that can be side-swiped to oncoming traffic, make a new Burnout game. This has been one of the five thoughts that fill my head on a daily basis for years at this point, and thanks to a website that’s letting people draw pixel art all over Google Maps, I’ve been given yet another outlet via which to let it out.
That site is wplace, and it’ll look familiar if you’ve been partial to the now defunct Reddit thread r/place at any point. Basically, anyone can hop into its map and colour in pixels to doodle over the top of any place on Earth, creating vast canvases of cool art and scrawled messages to whomever might be watching.
Fans have recently been pondering over a mysterious X/Twitter account that seemingly directly references Super Mario’s upcoming 40th anniversary.
As reported by The Gamer, X account @supermario40th has been causing a bit of a kerfuffle, with some suspecting that it might be legit, thus indicating that Nintendo will indeed celebrate the plumber’s anniversary with a number of key announcements. At the moment, it’s completely blank bar the handle, the ‘aaaaaaaaa’ name, and a single follow for Nintendo’s Japanese account.
How Borderlands 4 is Being Built for Co-op from the Ground Up
Anthony Nicholson, Senior Project Producer at Gearbox Entertainment
Summary
Multiplayer has always been a core strength of the Borderlands series, whether online or split-screen, which is why Borderlands 4 is designed for co-op from the ground up.
Dynamic level scaling ensures that everyone can contribute, so you can always play together regardless of differences between your Vault Hunters’ levels or gear loadouts.
We’re just a few weeks away from Borderlands 4‘s launch on September 12, 2025 for Xbox Series X|S — it won’t be long until you’re wreaking havoc across Kairos as a badass Vault Hunter and breaking free from the Timekeeper’s control! Today, I’m thrilled to reveal more details about something incredibly special to me: two-player, split-screen multiplayer in Borderlands 4.
For many of us on the development team, some of our fondest and most formative Borderlands memories are the hours we spent playing in split-screen couch co-op. The looter shooter gameplay of the Borderlands games has always been a blast while playing solo, but it feels like the fun increases exponentially when you’re playing alongside a friend or loved one. So many of us have bonded over the shared experiences that define two-player split-screen, from finally taking down a difficult boss, to getting an awesome Legendary loot drop, or even just cracking up at something one of our Vault Hunters said during a firefight.
Multiplayer has always been a core strength of the Borderlands series, whether online or split-screen—which is why Borderlands 4 is designed for co-op from the ground up. We’re incredibly excited to have full crossplay support at launch so you can play with friends wherever they are, with drop-in/drop-out action for up to four players online (requires SHiFT Account*). That includes the ability to play split-screen locally while you join up with two other players online—you can even get two split-screen duos linked up to form a full party of four!
We’ve also made it easier than ever to jump into some co-op looter shooter action, from the streamlined lobby system down to the game mechanics themselves. Dynamic level scaling ensures that everyone can contribute to the carnage, so you can always play together regardless of differences between your Vault Hunters’ levels or gear loadouts. That same philosophy applies to the individual difficulty settings. You and your buddies can each tune the encounters to feel as tough or forgiving as you personally like.
You’ll also have the option to fast travel directly to other players, which can be extremely helpful when navigating Borderlands 4‘s huge, seamless world. The regions of the dangerous new planet Kairos interconnect to create the biggest expanse we’ve ever had in a Borderlands game, and you might end up exploring in a totally different direction than your co-op party. The fact that you can cruise around on your personalized Digirunner vehicle at any time, along with the new layer of verticality in the environments, makes it so that you might inadvertently put a lot of distance between you and your squad. With party-based fast travel, you can almost instantly join back up after a joyride in the opposite direction or a flubbed jump off the side of a cliff (not that I’ve ever done that, of course).
Borderlands 4 also makes for an awesome hangout game no matter how much time you have for a given play session. You’re free to explore as you see fit, and Kairos has engaging Points of Interest to discover in all directions. Shorter co-op sessions are great for claiming Points of Interest in the name of the Crimson Resistance, including safe houses that unlock new fast travel spots or silos with decommissioned Order communications balloons that let you take to the sky, scope out your next target, and aid your search for elusive Vault Key Fragments. Or, if you’re in it for the long haul, you and your party can endeavor to take back entire regions from the Timekeeper’s oppressive grip, clearing out anyone (or anything) foolish enough to get in your way.
I also want to give a quick shoutout to all the amazing Vault Hunter customization options you can unlock, because part of the co-op fun is showing off your sense of style to fellow Vault Hunters. I’ve spent hours tinkering with my combination of Vault Hunter Heads and Skins to impress my co-op pals, and it’s just as fun to see what new outfits they’ve cooked up for our latest play session.
The entire Gearbox team is beyond excited for the debut of Borderlands 4, and we can’t wait for you (and your co-op squad!) to set foot on Kairos. You can pre-order Borderlands 4 Standard Edition,Deluxe Edition, andSuper Deluxe Edition now on the Xbox Store, with the latter two including post-launch content. See you on Kairos, Vault Hunter!

Fans of Star Wars: Unlimited have reason to celebrate this week as Amazon rolls out a series of discounts across multiple sets in the fast-growing trading card game. Not every expansion has boosters or bundles that have gotten the price-cut treatment, but for those looking to stock up on boosters or grab a starter kit, there are some standout Star Wars deals worth jumping on before they vanish.
For example, the Twilight of the Republic Booster Display Box, featuring 24 packs steeped in Clone Wars-era drama, has seen one of the biggest drops, plunging 52% down to just $57.98 (was $119.76). Each pack contains 16 cards, including guaranteed rares, a leader, and a base/token card, making it a prime choice for competitive deck builders or collectors chasing those foil highlights.
For those after something a little more beginner-friendly, the Twilight of the Republic Two-Player Starter Set has dipped to $27.54 (was $34.99), complete with two fully built decks, playmats, counters, and a quickstart rulebook.
If the Outer Rim calls louder than Coruscant, the Shadows of the Galaxy Two-Player Starter Set (headlined by The Mandalorian and Moff Gideon) is now $25.36 (down from $34.99), offering the same ready-to-play convenience with exclusive cards you won’t find in boosters. Single Shadows of the Galaxy booster packs are also available for $8.95 (was $10.99), perfect for topping off a deck with Mandalorian-era firepower.
The deals don’t stop there because the Legends of the Force set, only released last month and packed with Jedi, Sith, and iconic Force-users from across the saga, has had its own 24-pack display box dropped down to $88.00, a 27% cut from its original $119.76 price tag.
Spark of Rebellion is on sale, too, though the 24-pack display box is still sitting at over $105 (although better than its original $119.76 price). Altogether, though, the current markdowns on Twilight of the Republic, Shadows of the Galaxy, and Legends of the Force make for a good case to anyone looking to expand their collection without paying full retail.
Since this sale’s dropped, some other items in the Star Wars: Unlimited range have sold out already, so it seems to be only a matter of time before stock sells out and any replenishments are put back at their original MSRP. If you’ve been holding off on building your next Star Wars: Unlimited deck, this looks to be the perfect time to drop some Galactic Credits.
