Happy Monday!
Does $40 sound like a good price to buy a virtual car to you? Probably not, but unfortunately that's how much it could cost you to be able to drive your dream car in Gran Turismo 7. Battlefield 2042 now has less active players than Battlefield 4, which released back on the PS3 nine years prior. Grand Theft Auto 5 will not give previous adopters a free upgrade to their long awaited PS5 version, but worry not, it sounds like Capcom wont make the same mistake. Capcom will drop new PS5 versions of Resident Evil 2 remake, 3 remake, and Resident Evil 7, all of these allowing for previous owners to receive a free upgrade as well. Plenty of news to get to, so lets just get into it!
