Welcome to Urgent Fury

Imagine actually enjoying cleaning your house or ripping out old tiles. Unhinged, isn’t it? You put on your favourite music and open the windows to let the fresh air in. The dust disappears, the floor begins to shine with every sweep of the mop, and the rooms start to transform into cozy, welcoming spaces. There’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing it all come together, one step at a time. That’s exactly what we wanted to capture in Hozy – a cozy, tactile and stress-free home restoration game that is coming to PlayStation 5 on November 9. Welcome to Littleville Hozy is a game where you can completely unwind. There are no timers, no scores and no pressure. Each level in Hozy features a space with its own atmosphere and story. Your first job is to tidy it up and renovate it. Then furnish it using the sets of furniture and décor provided. Don’t worry about being overwhelmed with an endless catalogue – each level features a carefully curated set of items you’ll need so that the end result always looks worthy of the interior design magazine. Comfort in every detail To help you tackle the tasks of refurbishing the rooms with ease, you’ll have access to an array of tools: from a simple mop to a crowbar. We all know what it’s like to mop the floors… But in Hozy, even this is a real pleasure. We’ve done our best to ensure that using each tool brings nothing but joy. You can also interact with the surroundings and a whole host of furniture. Open the window to let the breeze play with the dust particles. Light a lamp by the sofa to create a cosy reading nook. Play a tune on the piano or find secret messages in one of the drawers – experiment with different objects to discover what other interesting effects await you. Every surface, every object and instrument has its own unique sound. And the music changes dynamically as you progress through the level – we recommend playing with headphones or a home cinema system to fully appreciate the sounds of the world around you. Immersive cozy gameplay This is something we’re particularly proud of. When we first started developing Hozy, our main aim was to make using the instruments as enjoyable and responsive as possible. And the DualSense wireless controller is simply perfect for complementing and enhancing that experience. Thanks to haptic feedback, interacting with objects and surfaces becomes even more realistic, as every action you take is accompanied by a unique set of vibrations. For example, when a mop glides smoothly across the floor or when you’re arranging furniture. Combined with the adaptive triggers, you’ll naturally feel the resistance of the floorboards as they finally give way to the crowbar. The DualSense’s built-in speaker helps you immerse yourself even further in the game’s atmosphere, subtly emitting additional sounds from the instruments you are currently using. More ways to play Once you’ve completed the Hozy storyline, comprising nine unique levels, your journey into the world of cosiness isn’t over yet. Come back to the houses you’ve already restored to discover… new versions of the previous rooms. The ‘Game+’ mode will help you look at these rooms in a new light (literally) – now you can switch between day and night, as well as furnish rooms with different sets of furniture. Some of them will change beyond recognition. If you fancy creating something truly yours, Hozy has just the thing for you – a Sandbox mode with every item available in the game. Mix and match, duplicate, and customize your rooms however you wish. Who are we to tell you which wallpaper, background colour, window shape, support beams or light switches to choose? But there’s more: we also have plans for seasonal events and various DLCs, both free and paid. Make it Hozy Of course, we haven’t forgotten about the various accessibility features, so that as many renovators as possible can enjoy Hozy. The game is available in 11 different languages and includes a range of visual and control settings. Adjust the movement speed of your tools, invert the camera, change colour display settings and much more. If you want to make playing Hozy even more comfortable – settle into your favourite armchair, pour yourself a cup of hot chocolate and launch the game on PlayStation Portal. We’re looking forward to November 9, when you’ll be able to enjoy Hozy at your own pace. View the full article

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Most Requested Update, a free update bringing several player-requested and quality-of-life features to the game, is live today on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. The update has new content, a progression update, and more, including: New Game+ 2 New Achievements Enhanced Progression Mode option New Power calculation Master Assassin Naoe outfit Upgraded PSSR optimizations Animus Hub synchronization update Play Video The new PSSR update is exclusive to PlayStation 5 Pro players, giving them an even higher visual quality as they embark on or continue their Viking adventures in England. We spoke to Priscilla Nguyen, Engineering Studio Manager, to learn more about this update and why it’s essential for PlayStation 5 Pro players. What can you tell us about the PSSR update for the PS5 Pro? Priscilla Nguyen: It was about integrating the upgraded PSSR into the game, to have better graphics when upscaling at a better framerate. The upgraded PSSR is more efficient than the original, and easier to implement in the game source code. The upgraded PSSR is an enhanced version, and slightly more efficient than the game’s current Temporal Upscaler. More importantly, it’s much crisper and more visually stable, giving you seamless and stunning environments to explore in England. Why bring these improvements to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla? PN: At Ubisoft, it is important to remain at the forefront of technological innovation to ensure players continue to benefit from the best possible gaming experience, and as the upgraded PSSR was already successfully integrated into our latest releases, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and Assassin’s Creed Shadows, we thought it would be great to have in Valhalla too. The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update presented an excellent opportunity to integrate the upgraded PSSR, delivering a noticeably sharper and more visually refined image quality in 4K and smoothness with 60FPS. One of the aspects players appreciated most about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was the beauty and visual variety of its open world, from the snowy mountains of Norway to the flourishing meadows, robust forests, and frigid highlands of England. Now, with the new PSSR optimizations, those graphics have been enhanced and preserved to meet today’s technical standards and continue to deliver a high-quality, smooth visual experience for our players. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla came out a few years before the PS5 Pro. Were there any challenges updating the visuals for PSSR? PN: We didn’t need to overhaul the game’s content or visual assets. Instead, we leveraged the upgraded PSSR within our engine and rendering pipeline to enhance 4K image quality and deliver our Quality mode at 60FPS on PS5 Pro. The interesting challenge was finding the right balance between image quality, performance, and integration within an existing game that was originally built years before the PS5 Pro existed. The upgraded PSSR proved to be a very efficient solution, allowing us to maximize the new hardware’s capabilities while delivering a noticeable visual uplift and stronger performance without requiring extensive changes to the game’s content, making it an effective way to modernize the experience for PS5 Pro players.
