Gameloft, a leader in the development and publishing of games, and HarperCollins Productions, an award-winning media production company within HarperCollins Publishers, are thrilled to announce that The Oregon Trail™, the multiple award-winning official successor to the global phenomenon, is now available to play on PlayStation®4 (PS4®) and PlayStation®5 (PS5®) for $19.99 for PlayStation®Plus subscribers until February 25, and $29.99 for non-subscribers and once the special sale period has ended.
In The Oregon Trail, players are put at the center of all the trials and tribulations of the journey westward. They must stock their wagon, choose their traveling party, and make sure they all arrive safely to Oregon by making tough choices in dangerous and unexpected situations. Players will also learn the real history behind the trail, including Native American stories, which is a first in the franchise.
The release of The Oregon Trail on PS4® and PS5® is a faithful adaptation of the Apple Arcade version and has been created with the support of Gameloft Lviv. The PS4® and PS5® versions include all five previous Apple Arcade content updates, events, visual filters, and accessibility options such as an updated high contrast mode that increases the visibility of certain elements to better assist players with low vision. The PS5® version specifically offers DualSense® controller support to make use of its adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and its internal speaker, runs at 4K at 60FPS, and supports PlayStation Activities and Trophies.
Prospective pioneers that want to keep adventuring beyond the base The Oregon Trail experience can purchase its “Cowboys and Critters” DLC for $5. The DLC includes thirteen new stories that explore some of the more fearsome critters and animals on the trail and additional stories that focus on the Horse Creek Treaty, the Chisholm Trail Journey, and a select Native American story about the legend of “The People Eaters,” a cannibalistic, fearsome red-headed tribe who fought against the Numa people.
“Today’s launch on PlayStation gives our team a great sense of pride as we set out to make The Oregon Trail available to all gamers across all platforms,” said Stanislav Shchebyvovk, Game Manager. “While this journey to support PlayStation owners was nowhere near as arduous as the actual Oregon Trail, we are thrilled to have reached our destination and hope PS4 and PS5 players enjoy their experience!”
“We are thrilled to launch the classic game “The Oregon Trail” on PlayStation for the very first time. This marks a new milestone for the game as we bring a perennial favorite to a broader game audience, said Caroline Fraser, Head of HarperCollins Productions. “We believe the game’s winning combination of education and entertainment will continue to be a formula for success, and look forward to having more players join us on the trail!”

From the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne and Indiana Jones series comes Twisters, a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the Oscar® nominated writer-director of Minari, Twisters stars Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing, Normal People) and Glen Powell (Anyone But You, Top Gun: Maverick) as opposing forces who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.
Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
Twisters features an exciting new cast, including Nope’s Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).
From Amblin Entertainment, Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall (Jurassic and Indiana Jones franchises) and by Patrick Crowley (Jurassic and Bourne franchises). The screenplay is by Mark L. Smith, writer of the Best Picture nominee The Revenant. Twisters will be distributed by Universal Pictures domestically and by Warner Bros. Pictures internationally.

Today, Offworld has announced that Update 7.1, the latest batch of enhancements to their popular 50v50 military FPS Squad, is now globally available for all players. The most notable addition is the Sanxian Islands: a brand-new map set across a string of volcanic islands in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Sanxian Islands are of critical importance in the Pacific theater of war, as their position off the continental coast and industrial capabilities make them a prime region for military activity. Their hilly terrain is criss-crossed with rice paddies and sugar cane fields that feed into dense jungle and bamboo forests, while small fishing communities are spread out across the beaches. Watch the launch trailer below!
The Sanxian Isles provide a brand-new biome in wage to wage war—with lush jungles and sandy beaches—but also region-specific buildings and man-made environments. This map is primed for infantry warfare, with dense forests, crowded industrial zones, and small villages perfect for close-quarters combat. Amphibious vehicles and helicopters can easily transport troops from zone to zone, but infantry on the ground can also make their stand, sneaking through the jungles and shallow waters that connect the island chain together.
Notable landmarks and features of the new map include the power plant, canal town, and naval base. As well, the Sanxian Islands feature the following map layers:
AAS v1 – USA vs PLA
AAS v2 – USMC vs PLA
AAS v3 – CAF vs PLA
Invasion v1 – USMC attacking PLA
Invasion v2 – PLANMC attacking USA
RAAS v1 – USMC vs PLA
RAAS v2 – ADF vs PLA
Seed v1 – ADF vs PLA
Skirmish v1 – USMC vs PLA
