Golf With Your Friends is available to play on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Switch.
BIG NEWS OF THE WEEKAmong Us among host of new games getting Irish translation
As of this week, some of the biggest games in the world have been given an As Gaelige makeover! A group of Irish translators took the text and dialogue from some of the biggest games in the world, with one of the translators, Cormac Cinnsealach, saying the following about the translations:
