The relaunch of Red Dead Online as a standalone title in late 2020 was something of a false dawn for its ever-optimistic community. Rockstar maintains the title but has been in a cycle for several years of repeating content, and it could fairly be said that this playerbase has been surviving on rations ever since…
Generally speaking, videogame trailers are a promotional, sometimes informative type of thing: “Here’s our new game, here’s what it looks like, here’s when it comes out,” and all that. But today we’ve got something different to share with you: A trailer celebrating Microsoft’s $68 billion swallow-up of Activision Blizzard, which finally happened today following the…
HDMI 2.1, along with all the neat tricks that standard brings with it, has taken a while to arrive on a consumer capture card despite having been available on modern PC GPUs and consoles for some time. AverMedia’s Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 is the first to offer the ability to pass high and variable frame…
I’ve seen such sights in this October’s Steam Next Fest, but nothing has piqued my interest quite like the demo for My Work Is Not Yet Done, a lo-fi and cryptic “narrative-driven investigative horror game” where you spend quite a lot of time wandering around nature listening to the wind rustle the leaves before going…

Well, I can now say definitively, if your country comes under siege from an unending horde of mutants, you do not want me building your defences for you. After my sloppy stonework left archers without a clear line of sight to their foe and bomb lobbers stranded on outcroppings as the stairs collapsed behind them,…
There’s something about World of Warcraft Classic’s Hardcore servers that just seems to generate good stories. Any other day, face planting in one of the game’s hardest raids wouldn’t be a blip on the radar—but here a single slip-up can cost you everything, elevating an already vicious encounter to a matter of life and death….
“Release notes for today are up” began the fairly typical message from the Counter-Strike 2 dev team, before things take a turn: “Shamone.” The world’s greatest competitive shooter has in recent days been delighting players with a bug that has been christened the “Smooth Criminal”, after Michael Jackson’s dance moves that accompany the song of…
Good news, my friends: Starfield players have entirely abandoned human morality in their quest to invent the most effective methods of XP grinding possible, turning the game’s rambling planetary plains into a kind of Victorian safari hunt. I’m discomfited, disturbed, and would quite like to unlock the manipulation ability, so might give this a try…
Diablo 4’s leap to Steam—alongside other games like Overwatch 2—is welcome news to gamers wanting to keep their rigs launcher-slim. Adam Fletcher, the game’s Global Community Development Director, has fully confirmed on Twitter that the game will be coming Steam Deck verified next Tuesday.
