Only last week, Palworld developer Pocketpair announced that the hit survival game, which remains in early access, would be going quiet as it prepared for a full launch in 2026. Well well well… it looks like someone had a surprise up their sleeve, because today brought the announcement of an unexpected crossover, albeit with scant…
A new Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix is live today, and it’s good news for Steam Deck fans: The update features a new native Steam Deck build, which Larian says will deliver “more stable framerate, lower loading times, and smoother gameplay” on Valve’s portable platform.

A new Painkiller was announced back in March, teasing just enough to make me think that after years of bad sequels, well, maybe this time they’d get it right.
