Don't Starve: Reign of Giants has been out on PC since May, but soon PlayStation 4 owners will finally be able to catch up. Klei has announced that the expansion will launch next week. It will hit July 22 for $4.99, and PlayStation Plus members will get 10% off at launch. 

Earlier this month, 505 Games and Rebellion released Sniper Elite III, a highly effective action game where sniping is the name of the game, as you get to watch the skulls of German soldiers get ripped to shreds by bullets.
