Sony is nudging US PS5 owners to sell unused consoles through Back Market for up to $400
PS5 owners in the US are getting PlayStation App notifications inviting them to trade in a console they no longer use, Push Square reports, with the deal handled by refurbished-tech marketplace Back Market rather than by Sony directly. The offer is up to $400 in cash for a standard PS5 with two DualSense controllers, with the final amount depending on condition; Back Market's own PS5 buyback page currently lists up to $415, paid by direct deposit. No end date has been given, and Sony's PlayStation Direct trade-in page still only describes its older PS4 trade-in that adds a $50 voucher toward a PS5.

Nintendo's art director explains why the Ocarina of Time remake looks so different from the N64 original
In part 2 of Nintendo's Ask the Developer interview, published November 2, art director Aya Shida says the goal 'wasn't simply to make everything look realistic': early keywords included 'a puppet-show feel' and 'the analog feel of practical effects films', and she admits the old and new designs 'look very different when placed side by side', so the team kept each character's familiar silhouette from a distance. Producer Fujibayashi adds that copying the N64's exaggerated features exactly with today's technology 'might look a little creepy', while director HokWai Ng sums up the rule as 'the visuals may change, but the experience does not.' The Switch 2 remake launches Thursday, November 5.
Saudi-backed Kingdom of Gaming event slips from December to 2027
Kingdom of Gaming, the new games industry event that was set for December 1-3 in Riyadh, now says 'Coming in 2027' on its official website, with no formal announcement or new date. The show is run by Tahaluf, a joint venture between GDC organiser Informa and the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, and GamesIndustry.biz notes that Informa said on October 27 that escalating disruption in Saudi Arabia had forced it to reschedule other events. Kingdom of Gaming had promised more than 20,000 attendees and 500 studios, according to the same report.

CI Games borrows €28.6 million to finish and launch Lords of the Fallen II
CI Games has signed a €28.6 million (about $32 million) loan with Erste Bank Polska and Bank Ochrony Środowiska to cover the rest of Lords of the Fallen II's production, its global marketing and launch, and to refinance its existing bank debt, the company announced on October 30. Polish export credit agency KUKE guarantees 80% of the loan, which matures in August 2027 and is meant to be repaid mainly from the game's sales. The soulslike sequel is still planned for the first quarter of 2027, with the exact date due in December; CI Games is self-publishing it after its PC deal with Epic Games ended in April, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

Astragon closes Astragon Development, the German studio formerly known as Independent Arts
Simulation publisher Astragon Entertainment, part of Everplay Group (formerly Team17), is closing its subsidiary Astragon Development as part of a strategic realignment, GamesMarket reports. According to GamesMarket, more than 40 employees are affected and the company is seeking 'socially responsible solutions' for them. Founded in Hamm in 1990 as Independent Arts Software, the studio worked mainly on ports and co-development before Astragon bought it in April 2023 and renamed it in 2025, GamesIndustry.biz notes.

Kojima Productions shows a new OD – Knock visual at its Tokyo anniversary exhibition
Kojima Productions revealed a new visual for OD – Knock, its Xbox-published horror project, at the studio's 10th anniversary exhibition in Tokyo, sharing it on October 30 alongside a physical recreation of the red door from the game's teaser trailer. Polygon describes the image as Sophia Lillis' character looking at a floating red object, with the tagline 'For all players and screamers'; the idea that the object is a witch's broom is a fan theory, and the studio has not explained it. The exhibition runs at Azabudai Hills Gallery until December 20, and OD still has no release date.

Final Fantasy XIV opens matchmaking across whole regions in North America and Europe on November 10
Square Enix says Patch 7.58, due Tuesday, November 10, brings same-region player matching to Final Fantasy XIV's North American and European data centers, after it debuted on the Japan data center. Duty Finder, Party Finder, Crystalline Conflict ranked matches, cross-world linkshells, PvP teams and Fellowships will then work across every logical data center in the same physical region (Aether, Crystal, Dynamis and Primal in North America; Chaos and Light in Europe), and other data centers' worlds become reachable through the regular World Visit menu instead of Data Center Travel, while housing, retainers and Market Board listings stay tied to your Home World. The patch maintenance is scheduled to last 24 hours, with exact times still to be announced.

She wrote that she did not leak information to the press, leave for a competitor or quit after being passed over for a bigger role, and said she has 'serious concerns' about how company standards were applied in her case.

A message to the community on the official Borderlands site says the series has 'officially crossed 100 million units sold', more than 17 years after the first game launched in 2009.

GOG calls Dune 2 a re-release 'holy grail' trapped behind five rights holders
GOG's Marcin Paczynski told GamesRadar that Westwood's strategy classic Dune 2 sits at the top of his personal re-release list, calling it one of the 'holy grails', but its rights are split between five parties: EA holds the code and assets but not the IP, alongside Universal Pictures, the successor to the original film's rights holder, the Herbert Foundation and Legendary Pictures. He added that Legendary's licence to Dune: Awakening maker Funcom includes an exclusivity whose effect he can't judge, and that a release selling an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 copies at $5.99 to $9.99 is a hard sell to multi-billion-dollar rights holders. No re-release has been announced.

Steam Frame jumps to sixth among VR headsets in Valve's October hardware survey
Valve's October 2026 Steam Hardware Survey puts the Steam Frame at 4.13% of VR headsets on Steam, up 3.72 points from September and the biggest gain of the month, which lifts it past the Rift S and PS VR2 into sixth place. The Meta Quest 3 still leads with 27.27%, while the Quest 2 fell 3.57 points to 22.23%. October was the headset's first full month on sale after its September 18 launch; the survey is opt-in, so treat the figures as a rough guide.
Microsoft previews its biggest DirectX Raytracing update since 2018, with up to 90% less ray tracing memory in its tests
Microsoft's DirectX team has released a developer preview of Clustered Geometry and Partitioned TLAS for DirectX Raytracing, which it calls DXR's most significant update since its 2018 debut. In Microsoft's own sample on an AMD Radeon RX 9070, total acceleration-structure memory fell from 7,519 MiB to 774 MiB (89.7% less), though the new path needs more temporary scratch memory. It is a preview for developers (Agility SDK 1.722 plus supporting drivers on Nvidia RTX, AMD RX 9000 and Intel Arc B-Series), so games will have to adopt it before players see any benefit.

Aonuma says the Ocarina of Time remake was meant to teach Zelda's younger developers how the classic was built
In part 1 of Nintendo's new Ask the Developer interview, series producer Eiji Aonuma says he picked Ocarina of Time for Zelda's 40th anniversary because many of today's team have only worked on recent games, and rebuilding it could 'trigger new insights' for future Zelda titles. He says he let the developers change whatever they felt was necessary, and was surprised by how few changes they ultimately made. The Switch 2 remake launches Thursday, November 5.
