Gaming World News: Highlights from the Last 48 Hours
Gamers, it’s been non-stop chaos these past two days. The gaming world news has been stacked—Sony just dropped September’s PlayStation Plus lineup, Nintendo confirmed a huge Direct for the Switch and Switch 2, PC players got a Tokyo showcase lined up, and—wait for it—Minecraft just announced Live 2025.
Too much? Never. Let’s break it all down.
PlayStation Plus September Additions
Sony’s rolling out the September freebies and this batch slaps hard. Dropping the 16th of September, the lineup covers everything from sweaty jungle survival to suplexes in the squared circle.
The Highlights
-
WWE 2K25 – The ring’s yours. New modes, arenas, inter-gender matches. Big W for wrestling fans.
-
Persona 5 Tactica – Phantom Thieves in tactical RPG form. Grid-based combat, anime drip, and pure vibes.
-
Green Hell – Mother Nature’s out to end you. Survive if you can.
-
Fate/Samurai Remnant – Swing a blade, live the legend.
-
Crow Country, The Invincible, Conscript – Horror chills, narrative thrills, indie greatness.
-
Legacy of Kain: Defiance (Premium only) – Old-school, gothic, bloody brilliant.
Why You Care
Extra and Premium users, you’re eating good. Wrestling, tactics, horror, nostalgia—it’s a buffet. Premium’s only snag is a single exclusive (Legacy of Kain), but hey, it’s a gem. And Essential players already scored Psychonauts 2, Stardew Valleyand Viewfinder earlier this month. W lineup all round.

Gaming World News: Minecraft Live 2025 Announcement
And just when you thought the week couldn’t get louder… Mojang comes in swinging with Minecraft Live 2025 news.
