     God of War is the top-rated and most-played Sony game on Steam

It's only been out a few days but the God of War PC port is already proving a tremendous hit for Sony - with several records being broken on the publisher's games, including God of War's Steam concurrent player count and the user rating.

Four years after the God of War reboot hit PS4 to much acclaim the game finally arrived on PC via Steam this week, to just as much acclaim or more, somehow. With sequel God of War: Ragnarok out this year on PS5 and PS4, there's obviously a lot of excitement over the series - meaning that a lot of new players are checking out the PC port, and loving it too, apparently.

While God of War's concurrent player count on day one was slightly lower than fellow PlayStation port Horizon: Zero Dawn on its first PC day, Sony Santa Monica's title seems to have rallied the troops since then - as the player count has only risen since then, reaching an all-time high for a Sony game on PC of 73,529 earlier today.

     Sweet Transit is Transport Tycoon meets Factorio, and it's out this year

The PC has a wide range of fantastic games, but something it always needs more of are fun, relaxing titles to enjoy but not get too stressed over - or an update of '90s classic Transport Tycoon mixed with a little bit of Factorio, which is what new title Sweet Transit is all about.

Transport Tycoon released in 1994, the same year that the XCOM series began - but unlike that classic strategy series, Transport Tycoon never got a revival despite original creator Chris Sawyer's attempt at a sequel with Locomotion and the original being well-remembered even today as a more chill alternative to SimCity.

Now ex-Factorio developer and 3D artist Ernestas NorvaiĊĦas has teamed up with publisher Team 17 to create Sweet Transit, which seems to be a spiritual successor to Transport Tycoon. The game's described as a "cosy train-driven city builder" - not enough games are called "cosy" these days - "where the railway is king and trains are the sole means of transportation and expansion".

     Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 raised nearly $3.5 million for charity

After a week of the Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 event and multiple speedruns by various streamers for charity - which included games such as Deathloop, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and even Deltarune - the organisers have revealed that AGDQ 2022 has broken records and raised almost $3.5 million USD for charity.

The latest Games Done Quick charity event kicked off last weekend with the fantastic likes of Deathloop - which streamer CreeperHntr completed in under half an hour - and by the middle of the week the organisers revealed that AGDQ 2022 had hit the $1 million USD mark faster than any previous speedrunning charity events.

Now AGDQ 2022 has wrapped up and the final total raised for charity Prevent Cancer Foundation is a whopping $3,416,729 USD - which is apparently "officially the most we've ever raised in the history of
Games Done Quick" according to a tweet on the event's account. It's a truly fantastic achievement by any measure, especially tied to such an entertaining event.
