Final Fantasy 14 may be an MMO, but it’s certainly never sacrificed the series’ talent for excellent storytelling. It’s stuffed with incredible worldbuilding, a cherished cast of characters, and heart-wrenching story beats that’ll get players shedding a tear from just hearing a few notes from a song that played during a cutscene. It is, however,…
Subnautica 2 might be a chill survival game, but the journey to May’s early access launch was filled with drama, legal battles and accusations of sabotage. Just recalling it all is giving me a massive headache, which I’m now going to give to you. In 2025, Krafton ousted Unknown World’s leadership and delayed Subnautica 2’s…
We’re in the count down phase for Silent Hill: Townfall, and while we don’t have a preview yet (you’re going to have to wait until Gamescom), Screen Burn’s director Jon McKellan and series producer Motoi Okamoto have been discussing that next instalment, what fans can expect from the foggy shores of St. Amelia, and what…
A number of recent Linux driver patches has reportedly resulted in significant performance gains for the Steam Deck. Valve’s handheld runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, and these patches can apparently improve the Steam Deck’s 1% low frame rates by as much as 31%.

Sony won’t be producing game disks anymore—a decision that’s been met industry-wide with a mixture of frustration and ambivalence, depending on which side of the fence you fall on. Personally, I don’t think a videogame company or distribution platform having final say over whether you concretely own something is healthy, even if I am admittedly…
Microsoft’s Trusted Platform Module, specifically TPM 2.0, has been part of Windows 11’s system requirements since the operating system’s introduction in 2021. Now that the TPM is ubiquitous, being included with most CPUs for many years, Microsoft is looking to leverage it “to activate Windows devices at scale.” Currently, the enterprise sector activates Windows via…
In 2024, Games Workshop’s plan for a line of movies and TV shows in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, with Henry Cavill on board as both star and executive producer, resulted in a deal with Amazon Studios. In case you’d forgotten about it, or started to have doubts it was going anywhere, Games Workshop made sure…
Australian GTA Online players are reporting they’ve been blocked from in-game gambling features, meaning they can no longer play blackjack, roulette or three card poker in the Diamond Casino, among other mini-games. Users attempting to access these mini-games are now hit with a “this feature is not available for you” notification. Following widespread reports of…
