Despite a slew of curious Steam updates that have Elden Ring fans vibrating with anticipation for an imminent DLC release, FromSoftware’s parent company, Kadokawa, has stepped in to crush those dreams. In an FAQ section from a recent financial report, the company gave an update about the development status of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the…
Helldivers 2, the co-op shooter from the makers of Magicka, is enjoying a way bigger launch than any of us were expecting. Despite some technical issues Arrowhead Games is still grappling with, we’re enjoying Helldivers‘ excellent shooting and smart brutality. It’s easy to pick up, hard to master, and has a lot more going on…

It’s a good problem to have, but there genuinely isn’t enough time to play all of the demos available during any given Steam Next Fest—the current one ends on Monday—so some prioritization is in…
The maker of the viral hit survival game Lethal Company says a mobile version of the game that’s set to launch on the App Store later this month is “not real,” and you probably shouldn’t download it. The demand for a mobile version of Lethal Company is understandable. The game made a big splash when…
If you’re not in the habit of poking around the corner of Steam dedicated to hidden object games, you likely haven’t come across Follow the Fun, who is quite possibly the most prolific game developer in all of PC gaming.

I’ll be the first person to admit that my computer simulated Super Bowl predictions haven’t been all that accurate. Despite predicting multiple raccoon attacks in Super Bowl LV, there were none (reported). Tom Brady didn’t dunk a bowling ball through a basketball hoop in 2019’s Super Bowl despite my computer projecting that he would, several…
