Because Saints Row IV and Saints Row: The Third both landed in the Top 10 most played games on the service in 2015 (see below), it’s only fitting that more Deep Silver titles like Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell should find their way into the PlayStation Now subscription catalog this month!

Hi, I’m Paul Coleman. I’m the Chief Games Designer on Dirt Rally and I’m also a rally co driver when I’m not making games. Dirt Rally is a labor of love for me and the development team — and our passionate community has been very vocal in their requests for us to bring the game to PS4.
So I’m incredibly excited that we’re bringing Dirt Rally to PS4 in April, and you can all start setting those leaderboard-topping stage times.
For starters, let’s cover 10 things you probably didn’t know about Dirt Rally.
We record the co driver calls live in a D-Box motion seat while the stage is being driven. This maximizes the sense of speed and impact in the co driver’s voice. We even use a Stilo crash helmet and intercom system to make sure that the recording sounds as authentic as possible.
Our level design team have had their fair share of adventures while away on their research trips....
