We’ve seen our share of weird gaming tournaments. Farming Simulator has a yearly competitive tourney (and it’s really good). Excel spreadsheet nerds compete in Vegas for a legit championship belt. So why doesn’t Solitaire have a world championship, too? Just because it’s a game you only ever half-heartedly play while you’re stuck at your desk…
10 years after launch and eight months since the mode’s announcement, Obsidian has revealed more details about Pillars of Eternity’s upcoming turn-based mode, as well as a date for the start of its open beta: This Wednesday, November 5.

It’s a show to remember. We’re all waiting for the next mainline Persona game, but there’s a reason SEGA and Atlus have sat pretty with Persona 5 for so long: Because it just won’t stop selling. Sega Sammy has published its latest business report (via Persona Central, Push Square), and the Persona 5 series has…
For Embark Studios, it was a classic ‘good news, bad news’ weekend. Arc Raiders hit a new high in concurrent Steam players on Sunday, falling just shy of 355,000 people playing all at the same time. That’s very good indeed—what’s less good is that 355,000 people playing all at the same time put a little…
A few Bingo wins might be needed. Shortly following its official announcement, the Resident Evil Pro Controller for Switch 2 has become available to pre-order. So if you’re really keen on picking this up, you might want to get moving before it’s sold out. Something’s telling us, however, that this might not happen, because good…

According to new estimates from AppMagic, which accounts for in-app spending from Google Play and the App Store, TCG Pocket pulled in almost $1.3 billion in its…
Memory has been in a weird spot as of late. The increased demands presented by the rise of AI, plus the expansion of data centres, stock shortages, and the winding down of DDR4 have all left the typical gamer caught out in the rain.
