In this 3D platformer, players control Mickey Mouse as he ventures into the Wasteland, a realm inhabited by forgotten Disney characters. The game features Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a character created by Walt Disney prior to Mickey.
Rounding out the monthly games is Core Keeper. This mining sandbox adventure is available on PS4 and PS5. It supports 1 to 8 players. The gameplay involves harvesting relics and resources, crafting advanced tools, building a base, and exploring a dynamically evolving world.
