Surprising absolutely no one, the latest Battlefield 6 Labs playtest was live for just minutes this morning before people started leaking it onto the internet. Players in the test are the first to get to see and try out two of the large maps launching with Battlefield 6: Operation Firestorm (a remake of a Battlefield…
Celebrities: they’re just like us! Except they’re not, usually, because they possess wealth and power and success beyond our mortal imaginings. Occasionally, though, we get to feel like we’ve got a little something in common with movie stars—like when we find out what kind of games they’re into.

During a behind-closed-doors look at Double Fine’s latest game Keeper, I’m struck that this is probably the studio’s strangest game yet.

The best gaming laptops in 2025 can finally be the do-anything notebooks we’ve always wanted them to be. As well as being just as capable 3D rendering in Blender, or thrashing the GPU with generative AI, now they’re not just frame rate-chewing gaming monsters when plugged into the power socket, they’re machines that can game…
It’s old news by this point that Silent Hill f is treading new ground. That horse bolted a few weeks back and managed to spook every OG Silent Hill fan and lover of convoluted controls in the vicinity.

Rory Norris, Guides Writer (Image credit: Future) Last week I was: putting off playing Battlefield 2042 just to earn cool cosmetics in Battlefield 6.
