Core Keeper gets free Switch 2 Edition Upgrade alongside new content

29 janvier 2026 à 12:00

While Nintendo’s strategy when it comes to upgrading their titles for the Switch 2 has been somewhat inconsistent, one corner of the industry which has been quite consumer-friendly in this regard is the indie space. Joining the growing list of titles which offer free Switch 2 Edition upgrades is the popular Terraria x Stardew Valley styled sandbox ‘Core Keeper’ – available now.

In alignment with the game’s latest Void and Voltage update, Core Keeper has received a free Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for all those who own the game. Available now, the update isn’t necessarily too transformative given the relative simplicity of the game’s visuals, but is still welcome nonetheless, introducing:

  • Expanded 8 player multiplayer (double the OG Switch’s)
  • “Improved graphic fidelity”
  • Enhancements to lighting, shadows, water and particle effects
  • Up to 60 frames per second gameplay

The improvements to lighting in particular is interesting to see as while Core Keeper utilises a pixel art aesthetic, it features a rather pleasing dynamic lighting model which adds to the game’s vibes.

One Switch 2 feature which would have been welcome to see is the support for mouse mode. Unfortunately it appears as though so far many developers have shied away from making use of it.

Regardless, Core Keeper is a fun and addictive sandbox experience which is perfect for the pick-up-and-play nature of the Switch, and so it is exciting to see the game getting a free upgrade. If you have yet to purchase Core Keeper, the game is currently on sale for 40% off.

PlayStation Store prematurely announces PS5 upgrade for Kingdom Come: Deliverance

29 janvier 2026 à 11:00

7 years after the release of the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II finally launched last year to heaps of praise, with many deeming it to be not only a worthy sequel, but one of the best RPGs in years. In case you missed out on the original game back when it released, it appears as though the first KC:D will be getting a native current-gen upgrade imminently.

As reported by Gematsu, the PlayStation Store seems to have accidentally leaked the existence of a PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with the listing (which has since been removed) offering some details regarding what players can expect in terms of enhancements.

According to the page, the PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance “now features graphical updates including 4K resolution, improved framerate, high-resolution textures and many more.”

Kingdom Come Deliverance

For comparison, the PS4 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance operated at just 900p with an inconsistent 30fps framerate. This was boosted somewhat on the PS4 Pro, reaching 1080p while featuring improved ambient occlusion and draw distances.

Even with what little information which we know now regarding the native PS5 version, the enhancements should be very much noticeable. Hopefully the improved framerate mentioned refers to full 60fps support and not just a more stable 30.

We shouldn’t have to wait long to find out with the game’s 8th anniversary set to arrive in just over 2 weeks’ time.

KitGuru says: What did you think of KC:DII? Where did it rank in your games of 2025? Would you pay for the upgrades mentioned above or should it be free? Let us know down below.

February’s PlayStation Plus additions include Subnautica, Ace Combat and more

29 janvier 2026 à 10:15

Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Essential line-up with 3-4 titles which subscribers can claim and keep forever as long as they have an active membership. Despite stating that they would be de-prioritising last-gen titles in 2026, 3 of the 4 additions for February offer PlayStation 4 versions, including Subnautica: Below Zero and Ace Combat 7.

Making the announcement via the PlayStation Blog, February’s PlayStation Plus Essential line-up is (ironically) lacking in any heavy hitters, with the following set to be available to claim from the 3rd of February:

  • Undisputed [PS5]
  • Subnautica: Below Zero [PS5 | PS4]
  • Ultros [PS5 | PS4]
  • Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown [PS4]

As mentioned, Sony previously stated that they would begin to de-prioritise PS4 titles in their PlayStation Plus monthly titles starting in 2026. Despite this, the only current-gen exclusive for the month is Disputed – described as “the most authentic boxing game to date”. While a heavy hitting title in the literal sense, the game is very much targeted towards a particular audience and so it may or may not resonate with you.

Subnautica: Below Zero is a spin-off of the beloved underwater first-person survival series; which failed to capture the magic of the first entry in many people’s eyes, but is still a worthwhile game in its own right.

Ultros meanwhile is a visually explosive metroidvania which features art by El Huervo of Hotline Miami fame. With “brutal, intimate, close-quarter combat” and a “unique loop-based mechanic” Ultros is worth checking out if you have any interest in the genre.

All four of these titles will be available to add to your library from the 3rd of February, and will remain claimable until the 2nd of March. This means you have just a few more days to add January’s line-up to your library if you have yet to do so – the full details of which can be found HERE.

KitGuru says: What do you think of February’s line-up? Are you surprised to see so many last / cross-gen titles included still? Are you a boxing fan? Let us know down below.
