A press release confirms that the remaster, developed by Double Eleven, runs at 60 frames per second with native 4K resolution support and high-resolution shadow maps. PS5 players can also take advantage of support for the DualSense’s haptic feedback. Two DLC packs are included, the first containing spells like Melofors, Ducklifors, Densaugeo, Cantis, and Tentaclifors.

The second DLC offers characters like Luna (Lion Head), Lockhart (Straightjacket), Helga Hufflepuff, Hermione (Pink Dress), Harry (Yule Ball), Godric Gryffindor, Ron Weasley (Ghoul), and Peeves. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay leading to the collection’s release next month.

The biggest of the three free games for next month is undoubtedly Nioh 2, Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo’s Souslike action RPG. Those who’re looking for a more relaxed and easygoing experience, meanwhile, will have the option to dive into LEGO Harry Potter Collection, which combines the Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 games. Finally, there’s also Heavenly Bodies, 2pt Interactive’s space-faring physics-based title.

All three games will be available starting November 1, which means subscribers have until October 31 to redeem this month’s titles. Of course, the three games will also be available for free to PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers.

Details on the games that will soon be added to the higher PS Plus tiers will be revealed soon, so stay tuned for that.

It will reportedly be available for PS4 and PS5 players, which likely means it isn’t Nioh 2 Remastered – The Complete Edition. That means no 4K/60 FPS mode or paid DLC if the leak is correct. Other free games next month include LEGO Harry Potter Collection on PS4. It collects Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 in one collection with Character Pack and Spell Pack DLCs.

The third and final free game is Heavenly Bodies on PS4 and PS5, a physics-based space title where players control a space cosmonaut. More specifically, they control the hands and arms and must push and pull through various scenarios. There’s no gravity, making things even more hilarious/perilous.

Though billbil-kun is usually correct with the leaks, stay tuned for official confirmation from Sony.

The latest UK retail sales charts from Gfk Chart-Track are in, and Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 is still on top. This marks the third week since its debut in first place. Even as sales are down 53 percent week-on-week, Red Dead Redemption 2 sales still account for more than 30 percent of the market, as per Games Industry.

Other titles are pretty much as you’d expect. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is still in second place, beating out FIFA 19 by a few hundred units. Forza Horizon 4, meanwhile, is still ahead of Spider-Man to claim fourth place. However, Insomniac’s open world action title saw its week-on-week sales remain the same, while the titles above it all witnessed declines.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is in sixth place, followed by Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, LEGO Harry Potter Collection, and LEGO DC Super-Villains. With this week seeing the release of Hitman 2 and Fallout 76, we could see a significant shake-up in the charts. Will they best Rockstar’s open world epic? Check back next week to find out.

The charts for physical software sales in the UK for the week ending November 3 are in, courtesy of GFK Chart-Track, and after an impressive debut on top of the pile last week, Red Dead Redemption 2 has managed to perform quite well once again. Rockstar’s open world masterpiece is once again in pole position.

Games Industry reports that its sales fell 51 per cent week-on-week, meaning that it’s managed to retain an impressive amount of traction in the market. So impressive, in fact, that Red Dead Redemption 2’s second week is the most successful second week on the market for any game in 2018 (even more so that UK’s sweetheart FIFA 19).

The newly released Football Manager 2019 is a new fixture in the charts, debuting at ninth place, while LEGO Harry Potter Collection has somehow managed to re-enter charts at number eight after not even tracking at all last week. Beyond these, the other games in the top 10 are about what you’d expect them to be. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at #2, FIFA 19 at #3, and Forza Horizon 4 at #4 have all retained their positions in the top 10 from last week.

Spider-Man has moved up one spot to fifth place, while Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has dropped down from fifth to sixth. Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is still in the top 10, moving up from tenth position to seventh place, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe re-enters the top 10 in tenth place.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collection, which brings together both LEGO Harry Potter games, covering the full seven years Harry spent at Hogwarts (albeit not entirely, as I am sure avid fans will know), has been confirmed for release on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

The collection here is also remastered, meaning both games have enhanced graphics and better lighting (among other things); it will also come included with all DLC for the games right out of the box. That apart, this is still the same game as before- in fact, it’s basically the same as any other LEGO video game, except it’s Harry Potter skinned. Still, in the absence of any other Harry Potter games on consoles (even though something has been teased, we have nothing more to go on for now), I am sure many fans and families will find this remastered collection to be more than enough for now.

You can watch the trailer below. LEGO Harry Potter Collection is out now on PS4, and launches on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on November 2.
