New year, new you! 2025 has come and gone, and we’re now already several days into a brand-new year: 2026. So, with that, it’s the perfect time for people to take stock and think about the year ahead and what they want to change. But rather than your typical New Year’s resolutions of drinking less,…
Human beings are incredible at recognising patterns—which is an evolutionary reflex. See, we’re hunter-gatherers, so being able to recognise the pattern of an edible plant against the pattern of an inedible one could mean the difference between life and death. Well, at least, it used to. Now we sit around and play videogames. But those…

Big tech loves the cyberpunk idea of brain-computer interfaces (or BCI), though I’m personally not super enthused about letting big tech anywhere near my grey matter. EEG-like devices that can scan brain waves are becoming more accessible to consumers though, resulting in a novel control scheme for Elden Ring: Nightreign if not much else. But…

Arc Raiders and EA Sports FC 26 topped the US and EU charts for PS5, respectively. While multiplayer powerhouses Fortnite and Roblox rose to the top…
Perhaps to the surprise of no one, Nvidia’s time at CES 2026 was all about one thing: AI. That said, PC gaming wasn’t entirely ignored, as DLSS 4.5 was ninja-launched with the promise of ‘4K 240 Hz path traced gaming’. However, DLSS is still AI-based and in a Q&A session with members of the press,…
Sean Martin, Senior Guides Writer (Image credit: Future) Last week I was: enjoying my break, battling to become king in Metaphor: ReFantazio This week I’ve been: bum-rushing Stella Montis to try and get the new Expedition resources I’ve bounced back and forth on Arc Raiders’ Expedition mechanic.
