The company pulled the plug on multiplayer for Destruction AllStars, a game about smashing cars that launched in February 2021, due to “ongoing technical issues.” Destruction AllStars was also delisted from the PlayStation Store earlier on Tuesday.
Here’s the email I received earlier today about the shutdown.
This 3.5-hour GamersNexus video makes me wonder. We knew tariffs, RAM prices, and oil prices were scaring buyers away, but it’s something different to watch a Cooler Master guy, standing in a warehouse full of unsold PC cases, dish for 30 minutes straight — or see how Thermal Grizzly’s thermal paste sales have cratered.
MLB The Show Mobile, a mobile version of Sony’s baseball franchise, has officially been released worldwide (except in Japan) on iOS and Android. In the game, you put make a team from player cards (“including current stars and all-time greats”) and then use that deck in solo and multiplayer modes.
Sony soft-launched the game late last year.
First announced in 2012 and with no release date so far, Star Citizen has now collected over $1 billion in crowdfunding. That’s the kind of growth model we can build an economy around.

Announced over a decade ago in 2012, and still floundering in Early Access with no release date in sight, Star Citizen keeps raising money, somehow. According to the funding page, it has now officially crossed the $1 billion mark.
The next version of Epic Games’ engine is still probably a year or two out, but an upgraded version of Rocket League just got teased at Paris Major. There’s no release date, but you can check out the clip below to see it in action.
We don’t yet know how much it will cost, but during a livestream yesterday with CEO Arthur Zhang, Ayaneo announced a new vertical-style handheld coming to its Konkr sub-brand.

Don’t want to spread any FUD, since it sounds like there’s more than meets the eye, but there’s been one report of the Controller’s exposed charging pins latching onto a magnetic watch strap (while that watch was also charging) in a potentially dangerous way. We’ve asked Valve. Let us know if you see something similar!
Puzzmo just added Ribbit — an adorable anagram game — to its permanent rotation. I’ve been playing the game for months and it’s become part of my morning routine; it straddles a nice line between being challenging and brief, a nice way to spend a few minutes with a cup of coffee.
Originally released in a collection called Full Tilt! Pinball, Space Cadet was later bundled with several versions of Windows right up until XP. It was an excellent time-wasting alternative to Solitaire, but I’d much rather play the IRL version that Daniel McKenzie is in the process of building.
