Valve has achieved something remarkable with Counter-Strike 2, and has done it almost under-the-radar. The developer has managed to transition one of the largest and most change-averse competitive playerbases around from CS:GO to CS2 without any significant pushback, large-scale complaining, or splitting that playerbase.

Unless the FTC’s Lina Khan runs in at the last minute to physically tackle Bobby Kotick before he can sign anything, it’s looking very likely that Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard will close in the very near future.

Ubisoft’s free-to-play competitive FPS XDefiant, surely a contender for the silliest game name in history (sorry Warface), has announced another delay following a recent public playtest. The game was due to launch with a “Preseason” this month but, following what the developers describe as “inconsistencies in the game experience”, has been delayed to an unspecified…
Brick by brick. After last week’s reveal, LEGO and Nintendo have unveiled all five sets coming in the Animal Cross X LEGO collaboration, which we now know launches in March 2024. At least that saves the bank balance during the holidays! All five sets are available to wishlist now on LEGO’s website, and we’ve even…
