System Shock 2 remaster release date – when you can return to Von Braun
System Shock 2 is getting the remaster treatment, bringing the classic sci-fi survival horror game to a whole new audience. But when can you actually play it?
System Shock 2 is making a return with a fresh new look, and soon you'll be able to utilise its multiplayer feature to assemble a team and finally defeat Shodan.
It appears there's no better time to launch a game about the takeover of a malevolent AI (despite having seen it numerous times before), so we're fortunate to be receiving a new remaster of System Shock 2. The sci-fi survival classic is set for a grand return following the significant remake of the first game, introducing the PC game to a wider audience with a fresh new look that makes it even more terrifying than ever. This comes as a treat for science fiction fans, especially with the arrival of a remastered Warhammer 40K: Space Marine on Xbox Game Pass.
The classic has undergone the remaster process, marking a significant shift from its predecessor's remake, which successfully captured the original game's remarkable atmosphere, narrow corridors and eerie happenings around every heavily-plated corner. Fans of survival games certainly have much to look forward to, with Prologue Go Wayback's numerous playtests and the massive Fallout 76 Gone Fission update.
There are plenty of futuristic horrors lurking in the halls of Von Braun, but when exactly can we get our hands on it?Here's what you need to know about the System Shock 2 remaster release date.
System Shock 2 remaster release date
The release date for the System Shock 2 remaster is scheduled for Thursday, June 26 at 1pm local time, excluding most American timezones. This information has been disclosed by the game's PlayStation Store page.
The 1pm release time applies to worldwide timezones and the East Coast of the US, while other American timezones will see the game launch at whatever this time equates to in their region, which is 10am PDT / 12pm CDT on the West Coast and in central areas.
While it's a somewhat perplexing system, it does ensure that players globally will have the opportunity to delve into the remaster at their own speed, familiarising themselves with the corridors of Von Braun before everyone is set to dive into multiplayer and defeat Shodan once and for all. It's undoubtedly a daunting task, but it's what many players are aiming to achieve, so assemble your team and get the job done.

Xbox aggregated game library coming to PC with hints of Steam support
A new Xbox feature announced for the upcoming Asus handheld devices will go live on PC this week for Xbox insiders. When Microsoft formally unveiled its new Xbox handheld devices – the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X – one of the new features it promised was an aggregated library that will provide 'quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts.' In other words, if you own games at storefronts like Steam or the Epic Games Store, you'll no longer need to open them up seperately to access those games. Instead, they'll be accessed from a single launcher, along with your Xbox games. At the time, Microsoft only mentioned that this aggregated library would be part of the Xbox handhelds once they launch later this year (rumours say that'll be in October), but the feature is now slated to come to the Xbox PC app as well. The feature will launch to the public later this year (no doubt alongside the Xbox handhelds), but members of the Xbox Insider program will be able to test it out on PC starting this week… as long as they have a Windows 11 PC. A blog post by product manager Manisha Oza explains that the feature will be compatible with purchased Xbox games, the Game Pass subscription service, Activision Blizzard's launcher, and 'other leading PC storefronts.' Although it doesn't name any of these other storefronts, they're presumably referring to Steam and the Epic Games Store, and possibly GOG as well. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Even if one or some of these are absent at first, they'll likely be added later since the blog post adds: 'We'll continue rolling out support for additional PC storefronts over time.' The aggregated library is designed for the sake of convenience, especially since compatible games should be added to it automatically. According to the blog post, 'As long as you have game titles installed from supported PC stores, you should see them listed in both My Library as well as the Most Recent section.' It's clearly an effort by Microsoft to convince PC players into using the Xbox app, and staying there. After all, if all your games can be played through the app, then there's no need to use the other storefronts. If successful, this would drive up engagement numbers and become a statistic Microsoft can boast about during its earnings reports with investors. We've seen some confusion if this means Xbox owners can access their entire Xbox library through this feature, but it ultimately only applies to games that are PC compatible. This does apply to most modern Xbox games (which see simultaneous launches on console and PC), but not any older games accessed through Xbox's backwards compatibility feature that only ever launched on console. There was a recent rumour by Xbox insider eXtas1s claiming that Microsoft was planning to address this and partner with the team behind Xbox 360 emulator Xenia to bring retro Xbox games to PC, as well as Game Pass and the cloud gaming feature. More Trending However, another insider, Windows Central's Jez Corden, said 'This particular scenario isn't a thing at the moment,' and the Xenia team has also refuted the rumour in a statement shared to Discord (via PureXbox). 'The Xenia (and Xenia Canary, by extension) team is by no means associated with, nor working alongside Microsoft in any capacity,' it reads. 'Microsoft uses their own emulation to provide backwards compatibility on Xbox One/Series consoles and as such has no reason to collaborate with Xenia, even if they decided to bring these titles to PC.' That said, backwards compatibility is intended to be a thing with the next generation of Xbox consoles. Combined with promises of a platform 'not tied to a single store or device,' it does look like Microsoft's goal is to make it so Xbox owners can access their entire library of new games, PC games, and retro games in one spot.

Dana White issues ultimate Jake Paul putdown over next fight
The pair have clashed several times over the years, but many have been left stunned after their respective events this weekend are set to clash UFC chief Dana White has delivered a brutal snub to Jake Paul after admitting he did not know the American was fighting this weekend. The 'Problem Child' is set to return to the ring on Saturday night and will take on former middleweight world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in Anaheim. Much to the surprise of many, Paul's return takes place on the same night as UFC 317 - scheduled to be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. With many fans eager to tune into both events, White remains unfazed by the fact that the two cards clash. "I didn't even f****** know that, who is he fighting?" he said. "I didn't even know he was fighting so that's how concerned I am about it." UFC 317 is headlined by a lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira, while the co-main event sees Alexandre Pantoja defend his flyweight title against Kai Kara-France. The mouthwatering main event is expected to take place at around 5am UK time, while Paul's showdown with Chavez Jr will begin just after 4am on Sunday morning. Paul and White have traded barbs on several occasions over the last few years. The boxer has fought a number of former UFC stars during his rise in the sport and critiqued the promotion over its fighter pay. In 2023 Paul said he wanted to see the minimum pay for UFC fighters rise from $12,500 to $50,000. Last year, the YouTuber-turned boxed claimed that he was banned from the UFC's fights ahead sneaking into their landmark card at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The 28-year-old - who has been critical of the UFC - asserted he was barred from all events back in 2022 before posting a video of himsel f donning a fake beard, wig, flannel shirt, and sunglasses in a bid to 'sneak into the Sphere'. White has endured no shortage of feuds during his time as UFC president but rarely has that resulted in bands. The UFC chief later revealed Paul's antics had been pointless. "Oscar De La Hoya was there. OK, let's put it that way," said White at the Dana White's Contender Series. "Nobody's banned from the UFC. Listen, that kid knows how to market and do his thing and all that good s***. Jake Paul 's welcome to come to UFC." Despite the feud with White and the fact that his fight with Chavez Jr clashes with UFC 317, Paul is focused on the task at hand. With just days to go until the showdown, the American is adamant that he will shock the world on fight night. "I'm gonna shock the world once again and prove how good I am, how powerful I am," the 28-year-old said at the launch press conference. "This is his toughest fight to date, and I'm going to embarrass him and make him quit like he always does." He added: "I don't want any excuses, and when I beat this man all the boxing media, like you guys always do, are going to discredit it. But I'm gonna expose him and I'm gonna embarrass him. He's the embarrassment of Mexico. Mexico doesn't claim him. "He's going to get exposed on June 28, and then the boxing media will have all these excuses but I don't want them to be having these excuses. They say he's training hard, they say this is the most focused he's ever been, good. As he should be, because people don't realise how good I actually am, and when he feels those first few punches he's going to want to quit and go back to his stool."
