Over the weekend, Microsoft released a technology demonstration from its AI Copilot research labs, showcasing a generative AI creating Quake 2 from scratch.

So you’ve defeated high rank Zoh Shia in Monster Hunter Wilds, but now you can’t seem to get it to spawn again, and you’ll need to hunt it multiple times in order to craft its weapon and gear. You can always use the SOS Flare System to find a hunt, but the problem is that…
In an industry already tanking a bunch of hits, full of layoffs and studio closures, the Japanese games industry seemed to be an exception in 2025—as noted by an analyst last month, five out of eight major publishers and studios hit all-time share price highs at the start of this year, with their only real…
That’s GR-eat! One of the more interesting new additions to the Switch 2 comes in the form of the ‘GL’ and ‘GR’ buttons, which can now be found on the rear of both the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and on the Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip. These two new buttons, besides allowing you more freedom…
