As a goodwill gesture, the Nighthaven expansion is being made free to all players this month, and the game remains available for purchase and on PlayStation Plus (Extra and Premium) "until further notice."

Proton launches Data Breach Observatory to track leaked personal data on the dark web Proton has launched the Data Breach Observatory, a public, continuously updated portal that collects and reports personal data leaks found on dark‑web marketplaces.
