Tom Cruise's Hair In Every Mission: Impossible Movie, Ranked

The Mission: Impossible film series is, unlike most Hollywood franchises, built less around lore and callbacks and more around recurring moments we expect each time we sit down in our seats to watch the latest entry.

New PS Plus Day-1 Game Already Getting Final Content Update

PS Plus update

A PS Plus Extra, Premium day-one game that released in April is getting its final content update soon, its developer has announced. Dogubomb’s Blue Prince received universal acclaim upon launch, but its solo developer Tonda Ros says he never planned to “continually tinker with the game.”

PS Plus game Blue Prince will get its definitive version with update 1.10

In a post on Steam, Ros said that Blue Prince is his first game and he’s proud of what he’s achieved, but there are “a few minor things that were not quite completed” before the game’s launch, which will be included in the final content update 1.10 — the game’s definitive version.

Here’s an overview of what’s coming in Blue Prince’s final update, per Ros:

  • An overhyped arcade game
  • A curious house cat
  • Accessibility features including color assist mode, controls remapping, cursor size/opacity settings, and widescreen support
  • UI/UX improvements
  • More variations for end-of-day manor descriptions and accompanying house illustrations
  • HUD display customization
  • Final room/item balancing
  • Handful of extra cinematics

As for when update 1.10 will launch, Ros didn’t give a release date but did suggest that it’ll take a few months. “We will continue to release bug-fixing patches intermittently in the months leading up to 1.10 and some of these updates may preemptively roll out some of the above-mentioned features,” he wrote.

Ros also pledged to continue fixing Blue Prince’s bugs “far, far into the future.”
