With inflation and global supply issues, there are no signs of console price cuts two years into the console’s life, which is unsurprising given Sony had the need to actually increase the PS5’s price. However, BT currently have a great deal on an Xbox Series X bundle, offering it for the £449 while throwing in copies of Far Cry 6 and Forza Horizon 5. This is an incredible deal for the Series X, and a rare one too....

The inability to sell vehicles was a key part of the criticisms aimed towards the PlayStation exclusive at launch, with a miserly economy and expensive microtransactions souring the experience for many. It’s a bit baffling that it’s taken so long, and there’s still a little uncertainty precisely how it’ll work and how good the payouts will be, but it does at least come as part of a generous update. The big addition that comes with the 1....

Gran Turismo 7’s online offering is near identical to that seen in the multiplayer-focussed Gran Turismo Sport - hence the multiplayer mode being called simply Sport - in that there are daily races that rotate in and out with various requirements.
