Sony have announced on their official blog that the team will soon be setting up shop in Anaheim, California for this year’s PlayStation Experience taking place on the weekend of December 3–4.

Duncan Smith, Senior Music Supervisor for Sony Europe has confirmed on the official PlayStation Blog that a double LP vinyl album collecting the music featured in Driveclub will release this coming Friday, September 30.

If you thought Porsche tuner RWB, in addition to several other never-before-seen names, being mentioned in the credits for Horizon 3 was something to hold on to your seat for, consider this: an Expansion Pass for the upcoming open world racer has been outed – by the game itself no less.

Today, console and PC players alike can rejoice: Early Access to Forza Horizon 3 is here, bringing the entirety of this year’s open-world epic to those opting for the digital Ultimate Edition 4 days ahead of its official street date. For those without such a privilege your journey begins on September 27th when the game officially hits retail (and digital) shelves.

Polyphony have let loose the latest batch of Seasonal Events in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events take you to three well-paced technical circuits where enough power under the hood should lead you to victory. Three challenge levels cover this week’s events, giving you a choice of sports and racing metal.

As has become apparent over the past couple of days, September is proving to be quite a busy month for Assetto Corsa. While there’s plenty of potential under the hood — as many a PC player would attest — there’s no overlooking the rocky start for the racer after making its way to consoles late last month.

September is proving to be quite the busy month for Assetto Corsa regardless of the platform. This month’s console patch has already been outlined, addressing issues like screen tearing, smoothing out the frame-rate, and adding two additional difficulty levels, among other things.

While we’re just over a week away from Early Access users being able to tour the entirety of the Australian Outback, mumblings of an exciting ride expected to appear in this year’s open world racer have surfaced.

The wait is nearly over, early access users have a mere 11 days left on the clock until the entirety of this year’s open world epic is available to them. For those without such a privilege, instead opting for the retail release, the wait is furthered an additional 4 days.

Earlier this week at the PlayStation Meeting, Sony officially pulled the wraps off of the eagerly anticipated and heavily-rumored upgrade to the original PlayStation 4 console, the PS4 Pro. Confirmed outright just days before E3 by Andrew House, the console, then known under the assumed codename ‘NEO’, is the first of its kind: a mid-cycle refresh harnessing more power than the original, and utilizing the capabilities of 4K resolution and HDR imaging.

Polyphony have let loose the latest batch of Seasonal Events in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are a combination of time trial and drifting challenges, testing your meddle at a variety of racing venues.

A slimmer, more power-efficient redesign of today’s readily-available PlayStation 4 was first speculated on earlier in the year when Macquarie Securities analyst Damian Thong spoke with the Wall Street Journal. Damian suggested the company would introduce the model, and with the company’s noted history of doing so previously, there was little doubt to be had.

The rumors of a more capable and better-equipped PS4 console, once referred to as the PlayStation 4K and PlayStation 4.5, has been a storied journey. Earlier this year, Sony’s Andrew House confirmed the development of this then mystery machine, putting an end to the longstanding rumors just days before E3.

Over the past few weeks there’s been plenty of excitement in the Forza camp as the days remaining until the release of Forza Horizon 3 tick away. The beginning of the month saw the original Forza Horizon make its way onto the Games With Gold platform, available to all players with an active XBL Gold subscription.

With this year’s game out in the wild and receiving plenty of critical praise, it should come as no surprise that Codemasters are hard at work ironing out issues reported by the community.

Earlier this year beginning in February, our team of Weekly Race Series racers developed a new event, known as the Triple Mix. The backbone of the series was the freedom in picking the car you wanted to tour around the events, and participants would have that option: the GT300 versions of the Impreza, IS350, and RX-7 would be available over the course of the championship.

The countdown is officially underway until the next entry in the open-world series releases later this month. Before racers can blitz around the land down under enjoying features new to the franchise, there’s an interesting detour along the way: the original Forza Horizon is now available to everyone with an active XBL Gold subscription courtesy of this month’s Games With Gold.

Things have certainly kicked into a higher gear leading up to the release of Forza Horizon 3 in less than one month’s time. Not only has the game officially gone gold, revealing a unique playable vehicle alongside PC specs and the full list of achievements, there’s even more to this increasingly apparent Horizon celebration.

The wait is nearly over: the next entry in the open-world racer has officially gone gold. Releasing on the 27th of next month, and four days earlier for those with early access courtesy of the Ultimate Edition, Forza Horizon 3 is set to deliver plenty of fun from down under.
