The once budget handheld gaming PC, the Steam Deck, recently received an astronomical price hike, with Valve citing “global logistical challenges” (otherwise known as the global memory crisis) for this decision. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney soon weighed in on the matter, drawing attention to Gabe Newell’s $500 million superyacht in the process. Commenting on X,…
Overwatch fans have been dreaming of an official animated TV series for as long as I can remember. Sure there’s plenty of stellar animated shorts, but with a narrative this good, fans want to appreciate it all in one cohesive project. But so far that’s all it’s been: A dream.

It feels like about time that we get some new and exciting handhelds, don’t you think? Yesterday, Intel announced new Panther Lake chips designed specifically for handhelds, called the Arc G-Series (Arc G3 and G3 Extreme), and while we’ve already seen MSI’s expensive Claw offering featuring one of the new chips, Acer has now also…
Videogame movies have never really gone away, but it certainly feels like they’ve had a bit of a renaissance in the 2020s.

Rockstar denied those allegations, however, and said the employees were terminated because they revealed “specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles” in “a public forum.” Legal action was filed against…
For the first time in a while, I’m not so sure about Diablo 4’s latest loot experiment. The prevailing complaint about the current season in Lord of Hatred is that Blizzard made the benefits of its strongest items too random compared to what we had in previous seasons. While Blizzard is working on a solution…
For years we life sim players have stood ’round the summoning circle, chanting the ritual words: “The Sims really deserves some legitimate competition, you know?” Despite our efforts to manifest, likely competitors just kept getting delayed or outright canned. Now that Paralives has launched—and is, in fact, good—I think maybe the variety life simmers have…
CD Projekt finally confirmed yesterday that a new expansion for The Witcher 3 is in the works, called Songs of the Past. The announcement brought months of rumors and speculation (and one cheeky non-denial) to a close—ironically, a day earlier than planned, because CD Projekt accidentally let the big surprise leak out on its own…
