Start the week with our roundup of the new video games coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

It’s a busy week on all console platforms, but it’s the long-awaited PS4 release of Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding that is getting all of the attention. As you might expect, the critical reception has been mixed, but trending toward the positive. Read our review roundup to find out more.

EA’s Need for Speed: Heat comes to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We’re not expecting great things, but the game certainly looks like an improvement on the previous two entries in the series.

Meanwhile on Nintendo Switch, best buds Mario and Sonic are together again. The two gaming icons are back on home turf for this year’s Olympic Games in what looks like the best game in the series so far. Do check out the free eShop demo.
