A year after laying off 25% of its workforce in what it called “a company reset,” engine maker Unity has reportedly put even more people out of work. The layoffs were reported by multiple Unity employees on LinkedIn (via Game Developer) and while the number of people let go is currently unknown, a post on…
As stories go, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is one you’ve heard before. Which is for the best, really, because the short story it’s based on is one of The Witcher books‘ more aimless ones and wouldn’t work terribly well if a lighter hand had been taken to adapting it into a 90 minute…
Ubisoft’s return to Steam has continued slowly but surely since September 2024, when the company finally decided that enough was enough and it was time to start selling games where people actually want to buy them. That means day-one releases on Steam, which is a big deal in its own right, but Ubisoft has been…
During all of my initial review testing and overclocking of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards, I had no issues with the black screening problem that we’ve seen cropping up in various forums and Reddit threads. My Founders Edition cards have worked beautifully and not once set fire to the wooden cabin tinderbox…
WinRAR, the compression and encryption software known for having a paid version that many users deftly dodge, has put out flashy new merch including a messenger bag modelled after its iconic logo.

Valve has already cemented its name in the handheld PC market with the Steam Deck. All it had to do was show that handheld PCs are worth making and others would follow suit. Now, coming up to the Steam Deck’s third birthday and millions of units sold, I can say that Valve has won. I…
There’s something about Elder Scrolls games. For years, one of the most popular ways for newbies to get into Morrowind was a mod collection called the Morrowind Sound and Graphics Overhaul (MGSO), which bundled up a bunch of gameplay and graphics mods in an easy installer to give the game a ‘modern’ makeover. Problem was…
Last week I mentioned problems with black screening Nvidia RTX 5080s and 5090s. Now comes much more worrying news of power connector and cable melting problems with the RTX 5090. And not just any RTX 5090, but seemingly a specific and potentially serious problem with Nvidia’s own RTX 5090 Founder Edition’s board design. The investigation…
With the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launching in the last few weeks and selling out nearly instantly, you may have to turn to an RTX 5070 Ti if you want a fancy new graphics card in your rig anytime soon and MSI may have just confirmed that it’s set to release on February 20….
A year ago, longtime Monster Hunter producer Ryozo Tsujimoto celebrated some major series milestones, including one very big number: 23 million. That’s how many copies of Monster Hunter: World Capcom had sold by early 2024 (including copies bundling in the game’s expansion, Iceborne). If you take a look on Capcom’s website, where it maintains a…
