Splitgate: Arena Reloaded hasn’t exactly set the world on fire since its re-launch in December 2025. Concurrent player counts on Steam hit a peak of just under 2,300 following the release, and the number hasn’t broken 1,000 since Christmas; as I write this, there are just 785 people playing, not really a great place for…
PvP discourse will likely be a constant in Arc Raiders conversation for years to come. But while the more antagonistic raiders among us might wish for more acknowledgment of their dark deeds, it doesn’t sound like Embark will be prioritizing additional PvP systems any time soon. In a recent interview with GamesBeat’s Dean Takahashi, Embark…
Schedule 1 was one of the big surprises of 2025, for two reasons. One, it’s a lo-fi drug dealing simulator created by a solo developer that blasted to the top of Steam’s best-selling games chart when it launched; and two, despite not looking like much, it’s actually a really good game, “with engaging systems and…
A rare feat. Super Meat Boy‘s reputation precedes it. The notoriously-difficult precision platformer is designed to be extremely challenging, and death on every single screen is basically inevitable. Amazingly, it’s taken over 15 years for anyone to fully complete the game — that’s get 106% completion — without dying, but it finally happened at the…
Here we are with another shout out for this classic game called Castlevania, as I have been informed through Facebook, that Thelen is still working on a pretty stunning looking Castlevania game for the Atari XL/XE VBXE called Catslevania. A new version of the game, that looks graphically superior since its first tease way back…
There’s a vibe shift happening in multiplayer shooters. The shine of free-to-play has thoroughly faded, and it’s now fashionable to buy games again—a trend partially fueled by the howling success of Arc Raiders last year. The extraction shooter has sold millions over a few months and maintained a huge audience over the holiday break. But…
It’s not a huge surprise because we saw this happen in 2024, but Prime Video’s Fallout series has once again led to a huge uptick in people playing the Fallout games on Steam. Fallout 4, Fallout: New Vegas, and even Fallout 3 and the original Fallouts have essentially doubled their daily concurrent players on Steam…

While Armored Core 6 is a game packed with FromSoft spectacle, its most memorable mission might be the battle against the Ice Worm, which sees the player pilot and Rubicon’s competing mercenary companies join forces to destroy a rampant, robotic behemoth. Typically players are expected to use a weapon specifically designed to pierce the Worm’s…
