The recent release of AMD’s new lineup of GPUs has been an eventful one with cards flying off shelves within 10 minutes of being listed at launch. One of the biggest boons to the new series of cards is FSR 4, the new AI upscaling tech AMD codeveloped with PlayStation makers and Japanese tech giant…
Samsung has announced a slew of new gaming monitors and on paper, the big news is a glasses-free 3D model. However, it’s a new lower-cost version of Samsung’s 49-inch ultrawide OLED that could be most interesting in the real world. The Odyssey 3D G90XF is a 27-inch 4K model with, “advanced eye-tracking technology and a…
Malevelon Creek is burned into the memory of every true Super Earth patriot. Helldivers 2‘s dingy jungle planet became known as ‘Robot Vietnam’ as players banded together in their thousands to defend it from a massive Automaton assault. It was the first time the Helldivers 2 community picked up the game’s live-service meta-narrative and ran…
As much as we want to see it… There’s nothing like a bit of patent discussion to get us Nintendo fans all excited, eh? While the latest legal bagsy from the Big N isn’t quite as juicy as the potential hardware features we’ve seen in recent weeks, it does speak to a visual style that…
I think most of us have had that moment where we feel it in our bones that targeted advertising has overstepped. You’re innocently doom scrolling through your day and social media throws up an advert for something so weirdly specific it shouldn’t really think to serve you.

Gamers only want one thing: to put an end to the Warring States period and unify Japan beneath the wise consulship of Lord Nobunaga Oda, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. Or they might want to kill Oda, actually. I’m not sure. Depends on the game. Either way, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is, per data…
World of Warcraft’s Classic Hardcore is sort of the ideal streamer game—high stakes that can manufacture some top-tier drama, an MMO everyone and their dog has probably played at some point, and a thick layer of nostalgia to keep the whole thing fuelled. Which is why OnlyFangs, a hardcore guild composed almost entirely of big-name…
It’s been a great few years for co-op horror games. We’ve collected trash and trinkets in Lethal Company and REPO, and we’ve made vlogs for millions of viewers while we trek through abandoned buildings in Content Warning. But between these japes and jests, we’ve also had the challenge of making our way around the Murkov…
Valve’s dedication to its portable PC SteamDeck has given us many surprising little side benefits in the PC gaming community. For couch lovers like myself, the improvements to big picture mode have been very welcome. However, by far the adaption with the biggest unintended effect has to be making Steam play better with Linux via…
The GDC 2025 highlight for me was a talk by Monica Harrington, Valve co-founder and the company’s first chief marketing officer, about her long and storied career in tech. And like many of Valve’s earliest employees, Harrington came there from Microsoft, where one of her major responsibilities was marketing Microsoft Word and later the Office…
