While the PlayStation Portal offered a way to play PS5 games remotely, it wasnt a standalone handheld. In fact, its been about 14 years since the PS Vita appeared, and now, according to a report from Bloomberg, the company is developing another portable console able to play games on device, as well as any cloud-based/ remote play tricks. The report cites unnamed sources, and Sony isnt commenting. But since Nintendos Switch proved theres still an appetite for handheld consoles, the boom in handheld PCs, like the Steamdeck, might have inspired a second look. As the report notes, smartphones (augmented by controller peripherals) dominate mobile gaming and prove theres plenty of appetite for gaming on the move.

Humanoid Origin will be shutting down. The three-year-old indie gaming studio, helmed by former BioWare GM and Mass Effect creator Casey Hudson, is the latest casualty in a brutal stretch for game developers and other industry professionals. In the LinkedIn post announcing the closure, Humanoid Origin said its efforts to shield its team from the industrys woes fell short. An unexpected shortfall of funding left us unable to sustain operations, the studio wrote. Hudson formed the studio (then called Humanoid Studios) in 2021 when industry hiring was picking up steam after COVID lockdowns had lifted. He described the startup as a means to unleash the creative freedom of developers by bringing innovation and artistry to players through an all-new IP. Its website celebrated content built around interactive worlds, characters and storytelling while embracing innovation that feels magical. Humanoid Origin The following year, the studio said it was working on a multi-platform AAA game in an all-new science-fiction universe. IGN noted on Monday that Humanoid Origin was hiring as recently as May of this year. Were heartbroken that we will not be able to bring our new science-fiction universe to completion, the studio wrote today. Our main concern at this time however is for our team, and we are committed to supporting them in their transition to new employment.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/mass-effect-creators-new-studio-is-shutting-down-after-three-years-212102929.html?src=rss

Max isnt the only one of our favorite streaming services with a juicy Black Friday deal. From now until December 4, you can get two months of Paramount+ for $3 monthly. Formerly CBS All Access, the platform has original series like Star Trek: Discovery and a growing selection of sports content. The deal applies to the Paramount+ Essential (with ads, usually $8) or Paramount+ with Showtime (ad-free, usually $13) tiers. Although the latter is the better value during Black Friday, remember youll get charged standard pricing after the two months expire. So be sure to cancel in advance if you dont want to pay the full price after the promo ends. Paramount+ has originals like Star Trek: Discovery and Picard, Tulsa King (for the Sly Stalone fans) and Lioness. The platforms sports content includes the NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League, European League and NWSL soccer matches. The deal only applies to new and former subscribers, so youre out of luck if you already pay for the service. Also, note that the sale only applies to monthly pricing, not annual subscriptions. Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/paramount-black-friday-deal-get-a-two-month-subscription-with-showtime-for-6-203106884.html?src=rss
