Valve has announced an upcoming Team Fortress 2 update as only Valve can. A new blog post begins: “Thirteen years ago, we launched Mann vs. Machine, a chilling cautionary tale where an artificial consciousness tried to take all our jobs. You didn’t know it back then, but that was actually a literary device called ‘speculative’…

I sat down to play Crimson Desert at Summer Game Fest armed with false confidence. I’d already played a combat demo at an event in 2024, so I charged protagonist Kliff into a battle with dozens of enemy soldiers with the foolhardy impression that remembering the button to swing my sword was good enough. I…

There aren’t very many games industry successes that look like Peak, the comedic co-op climber developed as a collaboration between indie studios Aggro Crab and Landfall during a manic month-long game jam in a Korean Airbnb. Less than a week after launch, it’s already made over a million sales. For lead devs at both studios,…

It’s a day ending in “y” so you know what that means: as per tradition, military documentation not cleared for public release has once more been posted on the War Thunder forums in order to win an argument about a piece of hardware.

Sometimes I wonder why it takes so damn long to make videogames. Then I glance over at the movie industry and think, okay, maybe it’s not that bad after all. Current case in point, Rogue Trooper.

It is June 2025, and Oblivion Remastered has no official modding support from Bethesda. But who cares? Because I guess modders never needed any of that stuff anyway. It was just holding them back, man. In the two months since Bethesda and Virtuos’ re-do of Oblivion came out, modders have managed to create a whole…

If there’s one thing that never bodes well for our little PC gaming community, it’s a monopoly. That might sound a little odd given our humble hobby, but hear me out. We’ve seen it happen time and time again. One company dominates the market in a certain field for one, two, three years, and all…

Do you remember that scene in Blade Runner 2049 where a giant, holographic Ana De Armas tells Ryan Gosling he looks lonely? Well, I certainly do. The team behind this head-turning Kickstarter project may do as well, taking the dream of a giant, holographic lady and making her pocket-sized—not to mention anime-themed, of course. The…

Overwatch 2 Season 17 is carrying on the trend of positive upheaval with new changes to how the base game is played, alongside more additions to Stadium, Overwatch’s newest and biggest spin-off. “It’s all about giving you more customisation, freedom, and tools to elevate your game across all of Overwatch 2,” senior game designer Dylan…

Google has had a weird couple of years. In the US, it is being pushed to divest the Chrome browser and to break up its ad-tech platform. In the UK, things aren’t going that much better, as the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is looking to introduce “targeted measures to address specific aspects of how…
