Microsoft recently reversed the sky-high Game Pass price increases it imposed in 2025, bringing them down to not quite where they were prior, but close enough to quell at least some of the complaints. The move came not long after Xbox CEO Asha Sharma admitted the prices were too high—but it sounds like the impact…
In an interview with PC Gamer, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian director Fumito Ueda said that he and studio GenDesign are not using generative AI to develop the upcoming sci-fi adventure Gen Atlas, except as a project management tool. GenDesign uses AI for tasks such as “coming up with schedules,” “summarizing…
A dozen roguelike action RPGs show up on Steam every month, but none of them have grabbed me like Cursemark. I play plenty of these games and know how long of a grind it usually takes to feel like you have a satisfying combination of skills that you could call a build. In Cursemark, I…
Bloober Team is making a Star Trek game, we discovered over the weekend. It will feature badass bajoran Ro Laren, and yes it’s a horror game. It’s a combination of genre, developer and licence that could only be the product of throwing darts at a board. Maybe a drunken game of Mad Libs. Sometimes it’s…
With a definition regulated entirely by vibes, cozy games might be one of the biggest categories to keep track of in gaming right now.

I’ve seen more of Gen Atlas, the new game from Ico and Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda, than was on display in Friday’s trailer. But not much more. In a meeting with Gen Atlas’s developers and publisher Epic Games on Sunday, I saw just another minute or so of the game’s so-far silent…
It’s a tale of two immersive sim remasters: Over the weekend, we shared the first trailer for Nightdive’s take on Thief: The Dark Project in the PC Gaming Show, and the vibes couldn’t be better. Nightdive has already shown a strong grasp of Looking Glass’ Dark Engine and visual style in the System Shock 2…
Amazon Prime Day 2026 is nearly here, and it’s the perfect time to start shopping for your new gaming headset. The event officially kicks off on June 23 and runs through to June 26, but I’m already finding some great headsets at very reasonable prices. While the price of most things PC gaming has been…
For reasons I can’t quite explain—except to admit that San Andreas was very good—the entire Earth has become one big millenarian cult awaiting the arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6, which will purge us of our sins and deliver us to apocatastasis. It will also make four hundred quintillion dollars. No wonder, then, that its…
