We’ve known since mid-2021 that Skate, the free-to-play reboot of the long-running skateboard sim that was first announced back in 2020, will be coming to PC. And now we know where: In a brief video clip shared on Twitter, EA finally confirmed that Skate will land on Steam. The announcement was about as brief as…
“I’ve been working on survival games for quite a while,” says Seth Rosen as we chat over Zoom. “Funnily enough, I don’t like them.” That is pretty funny, because Rosen was technical designer for Klei Entertainment’s Don’t Starve: Reign of Giants and project lead for Don’t Starve Together, eternally one of the most popular games…
Palworld is an undeniably huge hit, despite debate still raging as to whether its Pokémon-like creature designs are overly similar, plagiarized or even stolen. Beyond those creatures, Palworld isn’t very Pokémon-like at all—but it is quite a bit like another survival crafting sandbox: Ark: Survival Evolved. You know, the one with the dinosaurs. Why have…

However, he may have just added another title to…
How much memory your graphics card has access to is crucially important to gaming performance, but is a bigger buffer always worth spending more money on? The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT puts this theory to the test, delivering 16 gigabytes of VRAM alongside a very familiar GPU and starting at ~$329. The underlying core…
