Battlefield 6 has made its debut, with Electronic Arts providing the first big look at its sprawling first-person shooter, including hands-on with its often-enormous multiplayer mode. I engaged the enemy across four of the nine maps Battlefield 6 will include at launch, which took us through a range of battles: from the vehicle-filled All-Out Warfare…
2K revealed the Mafia: The Old Country system requirements back in May, leading PC Gamer hardwaremeister James Bentley to suggest that it might be time for an upgrade if you’re coming at it with a lower-end rig. Today we got a detailed breakdown of what the game will offer in the way of eye candy…
The worst-kept secret in gaming right now is that Battlefield 6 will have a free-to-play battle royale mode. The rumors have said it, Ars Technica’s reporting has said it, and leaks have all but shown it in action.

The unprecedented decision to support two opposing rulesets at once begged a question: Come launch, which format…
Four hours of Battlefield 6 multiplayer made one thing extremely clear: Battlefield was perfect just the way it was. I’m no Battlefield 2042 hater—in fact, I maintain it got really good—but it proved that the Battlefield formula doesn’t infinitely scale. Double the players was not automatically better, nor was its faux-class system that emphasized flashy…
We’re all trapped in launcher hell. Right now, as I write this, my taskbar trembles with apps: Steam, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect, the Epic Game Store. In my start menu lurks another nest: GOG Galaxy, Xbox, EA, the Paradox Launcher. To add insult to injury, pretty much every one of them bar Steam will intermittently forget…
Plus Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake gets new trailer. Intrepid adventurers, if you’ve been holding off on playing Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake and have a Switch 2, today’s news might come as a nice little incentive. Announced during the Japanese Nintendo Direct, Square Enix has dropped a free performance update for the…
It took 16 long years, but Plants vs. Zombies is finally coming back. Unveiled during today’s Nintendo Direct showcase (but yes, it’s coming to PC, let’s clear that up straight away), Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a full remaster of the original game, “with new levels, fresh twists, and 15 years of never-before-seen franchise history.”…
