Despite having a new sequel, Payday 2 has maintained an average of almost 10 times as many players as Payday 3 on Steam for the past [period of time]. The 10-year-old co-op FPS briefly swapped places with its successor when it launched last month, but as Starbreeze continues to work on the list of problems…
Just in time for the spooky season. Following on from a Mortal Kombat 1 patch for Xbox and PlayStation recently NetherRealm has now rolled out an update exclusively for the Switch. It’s unclear what exactly this patch for the Nintendo release contains but when you jump back into the game you’ll want to perform this…

A magnificent seven? Unless you’re a Neo Geo diehard, Visco isn’t as recognisable as Namco, Konami, Capcom, or the other big hitters they used to roll with in the early ’90s arcade scene.

You’re a detective, and a frog, and it’s time to solve some mysteries! Question suspects, find clues and look through your (allegedly useless) magnifying glass Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery is Out today with Game Pass! Oh, hello. I didn’t see you there. Welcome to my blog post. My name is Grace Bruxner and I’m…
As a perfectly bite-sized treat for spooky season, the farm sim where you’re a vampire has kicked off a quick demo to give us a taste of its pumpkin decor and midnight spellcasting. The first demo for Moonlight Peaks lets you play seven in-game days of foraging, farming, and decorating, with the option to take…
I like to imagine that one day, when I tune in to a Ubisoft quarterly financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot will come on and say in his French accent, “Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from Hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake…
