Late last year, Australia implemented a social media ban for those aged under 16, and reports since suggest that things aren’t exactly going as planned. For one, companies reportedly don’t seem to be actually checking some accounts. Reuters spoke to a team of software testers, who report that several companies failed to ask for proof…
Special effects go off like fireworks, my screen a constant blur of colour. Gushes of golden numbers—some of them in the millions—accompany every sword swing and magical burst. AoE patterns light up the floor, warning me about the maelstrom I’ll soon have to dodge my way through. And while all of this is going on…
Understanding matchmaking in Arc Raiders has been something of a white whale for players, especially since we first got confirmation that aggression-based matchmaking did actually play a part in creating lobbies. Since then Embark has been more open about what actually goes into its matchmaking and is more responsive to players who asked for changes,…
New CEO Asha Sharma hit the reset button on Xbox yesterday, taking out 1,600 jobs at once with another 1,600 cuts still to come before the end of the year. Very few studios escaped the scythe: even id Software’s legendary name did not save it, and it quickly became clear the studio had been swept…
XHitman and 007 First Light developer IO Interactive announced last week that it had lost funding for Project Fantasy, an “online fantasy RPG” first announced in 2023, and that as a result, “we have to adapt to this new reality and its short-term consequences, including staffing decisions.” That sure sounded like layoffs were incoming, and…

It often seems like there’s no light at the end of the memory crisis tunnel. That’s not just my opinion; it’s what I was told a few months ago by Maingear CEO Wallace Santos. But analysts from Bernstein have forecast something quite positive for DRAM at the end of 2028, as long as you can…
The humble mouse has been through some changes in its time. When it’s not adding extra buttons all over the place it’s twisting your wrist into unlikely positions or looking like whatever the Mad Catz RAT was. A general theme over the years, however, is that they’re getting bigger, and perhaps there’s a study to…
At the start of May, president Donald Trump thanked Michael and Susan Dell (yes, those Dells) for donating over $6 billion to ‘Trump Accounts,’ reportedly going toward at least 25 million children in America. In that thank-you speech, he urged listeners to “go out and buy a Dell.” That was after Trump filed that he…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a game of many excellent parts, and some of its most excellent are lead characters Henry of Skalitz and Lord Hans Capon. That’s in no small part down to the fact that both of them have great voice actors: Tom McKay for Henry and Luke Dale for Capon, who both…
