An investigation by The Guardian, Israeli-Palestinian +972 Magazine, and Hebrew-language outlet Local Call has sought to lay out the specific relationship between tech giant Microsoft and the Israeli military, which has faced international condemnation over its ongoing assault on Gaza, which has killed over 60,000 people, including thousands of children. In April and May, Microsoft…

Like some kind of bat signal for FPS players who like to ruin the fun, the Battlefield 6 open beta’s popularity has already attracted a number of cheaters. Players have found evidence of people using wall hacks to easily track enemies no matter where they go. And it’s happening despite EA’s kernel-level anti-cheat, Javelin, that…

In real life I’m pretty sure I can’t pick up a rock, grab a stick, collect some “plant fiber” (whatever the hell that is), then use those three items to craft an axe that can cut down a few dozen trees. Most likely, my “axe” would break on the first swing and I’d have better…

We noted, when Light of Motiram was first unveiled in late 2024, that it looked a lot like Horizon: Zero Dawn—to the point that we also wondered whether it might earn the ire of Sony. It took the better part of a year, but sure enough, Sony eventually filed a lawsuit against Tencent, parent of…

Everyone’s laughing until someone gets whisked away by a dust devil with a backpack full of food. This is how I imagine Peak’s Mesa Update is going to go when it drops next week. The goofy co-op climbing game will add the mesa biome to the rotation on August 11 along with new items, badges,…

The Battlefield 6 open beta is here, and it’s almost actually open. We’re on day two of early access, and the lineup of modes and maps for weekend 1 is set. It’s just Conquest, Breakthrough, and Domination on the menu for now, playable on three maps: Liberation Peak, Siege of Cairo, and Iberian Offensive. Three…

Five years after leaving Gears of War studio The Coalition to take the reins of the Diablo series at Blizzard, Rod Fergusson is calling it a day. “After five years driving the Diablo franchise with four big launches, it’s time to step away from Blizzard/Microsoft, sword in hand, and see what’s next,” Fergusson wrote on…

PC Gamer once declared virtual toilets the secret to understanding the unspoken priorities of a game and the people making it, but I’d argue virtual ladders have even more to say. If you approach from the top, does it wrest away control or let you Wile E. Coyote yourself right off the ledge? Does the…

1997 Japanese Best Two-Year-Old Colt award winner and Umamusume inspiration Grass Wonder has died at the age of 30, Thoroughbred Daily News reports. The American-bred, Japanese-trained thoroughbred was diagnosed with age-related multiple organ failure at Japan’s Big Red Farm, where he had been spending his last years in retirement. (Image credit: Cygames) Grass Wonder debuted…

The tragedy of Wildgate is that it might be too clever for its own good. Although it’s a hero shooter on its surface, Wildgate is really a competitive ship battler. As you race other players to gather resources and build a better spaceship, it feels like playing as a unit in a sci-fi RTS. It’s…
