Arsenal in for Sissoko

After the Helldivers 2 account-linking fiasco, which Sony backtracked on, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is the latest Steam port from the company to be delisted from certain countries on Steam. According to SteamDB’s history of the listing (which yousports betting can view here), around 180 countries can no longer purchase the title.

Oddly enough, Japan was added to that list before subsequently being relisted. While Sony hasn’t outright confirmed the reason for the delisting, it could be due to Ghost of Tsushima’s co-op mode, Legends, requiring PSN account linking for its multiplayer. Perhaps the company wants to avoid another controversy related to the sa…

Circana published its video game sales data for May 2024, highlighting the success of Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut thanks to its PC release. However, one release was missing from the top 20 – Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 from Ninja Theory. In a new tweet, Circana executive director and analyst Mat Piscatella announced that it had ranked 37th in full-game dollar sales for all platforms.

Since Hellblade 2 didn’t have a physical release, only digital sales were considered. On Xbox Series X/S, it ranked in 21st place. After launching on day one for Game Pass, it ranked 12th on the engagement charts behind Fallout 76. It was f…

On top of enjoying widespread critical acclaim, Astro Bot has also got off to a good start where its sales are concerned, seeing impressive figures in both the UK and Japan. In fact, Sony and Team Asobi’s platformer has seen similar early success in the US as well. 

Shared by Circana analyst Mat Piscatella on Bluesky, Astro Bot was the second best-selling title in the United States in the week that it came out, in terms of both digital and physical sales. The only game to sell more over the course of the week was NBA 2K25. Meanwhile, the special edition Astro Bot</emSports Betting>-themed DualSense that released alongside the game was also the US’ best-selling…

Any Indiana Jones game is always going to have plenty of challenges to surmount, but probably chief among them would be having to find an actor who could step into the shoes of the legendary Harrison Ford, who embodies the role of Indiana Jones perhaps more than any actor has ever done for a fictional character. With the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the prolific Troy Baker – known for his roles in The Last of Us, Death Stranding, Uncharted 4, Persona 4, and many, many more – is shouldering that burden, and based on everything that we’ve seen so far, doing a solid job of it- though if things had gone differently, Baker might not have been involved at all.

That’s as per Baker himself, who told GamesRadar in an …

West Ham have confirmed they have accepted UEFA s sanctions banning the club s fans from attending their next Europa League game against Rapid Vienna.

A number of travelling fans without tickets caused disturbances and entered the stadium during West Ham s last European fixture away to Genk on November 4, which ended 2-2.

The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body issued two fines amounting to €34,500 to the club, charging them under Article 16(2)(h) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations relating to crowd disturbances and Article 16(2)(b) due to objects being thrown by the away fans.

The Hammers will now be forced to play in Vienna on November 25 with none of their supporters inside the stadium.

West Ham are unbeaten in their first four Europa L…

Emile Smith Rowe will wear the number 10 shirt for Arsenal in 2021-22, with the midfielder having also agreed to a new contract.

Smith Rowe enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2020-21, with the 20-year-old making 33 appearances across all competitions.

In total, Smith Rowe scored four goals and contributed seven assists, the latter being a joint-high for Arsenal alongside Willian and fellow academy graduate Bukayo Saka.

Smith Rowe s big chance conversion rate of 60 per cent (3/5) also ranked him top of Arsenal s squad last term (minimum of two big chances).

Though it was his creativity that made Smith Rowe so effective. His 37 open-play key passes was only bettered by Kieran Tierney (41) and Saka (39) in the Gunners side, though both of them played at least …

Dutch legend Marco van Basten will succeed Ron Jans as Heerenveen coach at the end of the season, according to a report.

Jans had already stated that he would stand down when his contract with the club expires in the summer.

However, the appointment of Van Basten has come as a surprise as FC Zwolle boss Art Langeler had been considered the favourite to land the job, while the name of former Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal had also been mentioned in connection with the vacancy.

It is Van Basten, though, who will reportedly fill the void, according to Voetbal International.

The former AC Milan striker has been out of the game since parting company with Ajax in 2009.

The 47-year-old former Netherlands international was on the verge of rejoining the…

What the papers say

The Telegraph says Tottenham owner Joe Lewis has told chairman Daniel Levy he must sell Harry Kane if they can not get the England captain to sign a new contract at the club. The Mirror said this means Manchester United could be back in the market for the striker, while the Daily Mail says Bayern Munich are preparing a third bid to try and lure Kane to Germany.

Former Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, now a free agent, is receiving interest from Brentford, Besiktas and Saudi Pro League clubs, the Mirror reports.

Fulham are looking to sign Demarai Gray from Everton for £7million, while the Toffees value the winger at around £10m, the Sun reports.

The Daily Express say Liverpool midfielder Fabinho’s £40m move to Saudi Pro Leagu…

Lazio have announced that former Young Boys and Samsunspor coach Vladimir Petkovic has been installed as the club s new coach.

The 48-year-old will take over from Edy Reja, who left the club at the end of the season despite guiding his side to a fourth-placed finish in Serie A.

Petkovic had taken charge of Sion only last month, overseeing the club s two matches in the Swiss League relegation play-offs, but the Stade Tourbillon outfit did not oppose to the coach s decision to move to Italy.

The Bosnian was at the helm of Young Boys between 2008 and 2011 before taking up a coaching position at Samsunspor, who he left in January 2012 following a run of disappointing results.

Lazio, who collected 62 points from 38 matches in Serie A, have secured a place in …

Atletico Madrid returned to winning ways in unconvincing fashion as Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata earned a 2-0 LaLiga victory over Celta Vigo.

Diego Simeone s men welcomed Celta to the Wanda Metropolitano following a 2-0 defeat to Barcelona that effectively ended their title hopes.

Diego Costa received an eight-match ban for insulting the referee during that game, and Atletico were often second best against a resurgent Celta, who had taken seven points from their last three matches to boost hopes of survival.

However, Griezmann lashed home a 42nd-minute free-kick and Morata doubled their lead 16 minutes from time as Atletico increased their lead over Real Madrid who play Leganes on Monday to five points in the battle for second. Celta remain two points abov…
