Creatures of Ava

This is a Day One release on the platform where you’ll explore a world filled with diverse ecosystems and creatures. This action-adventure game focuses on understanding and taming creatures to save the planet from a life-threatening infection.

Players will enjoy a narrative-driven experience with unique mechanics aimed at healing rather than combat, set against the backdrop of vibrant environments like the Nari jungle and Mâruba swamp.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

The “Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy” brings back the first three games of the franchise—”Crash Bandicoot”, “Cortex Strikes Back”, and “Warped”—with remastered graphics and enhanced gameplay. This collection maintains the original charm of the series, including the iconic TNT boxes and Aku Aku masks, while introducing modern features such as checkpoints and time trials​.

Mafia: Definitive Edition

“The Mafia: Definitive Edition” offers a remastered version of the classic gangster trilogy. Set in the 1930s, you play as a cab driver who is drawn into the world of organized crime. This collection provides a cinematic experience with updated visuals that enhance the gritty narrative reminiscent of classic mob movies​.
