I like to imagine that one day, when I tune in to a Ubisoft quarterly financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot will come on and say in his French accent, “Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from Hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake…
The full reveal of the Alan Wake 2 system requirements last week left a lot of fans unhappy. They’re steep: The minimum spec for 1080p, 30 fps gameplay at the low graphics preset is an Intel i5-7600K CPU, RTX 2060 GPU, and 16GB RAM, and a sharp ramp up from there into recommended, ultra, and…
Yesterday I experienced something in Halo Infinite that I hadn’t since its 2021 launch: I’d wrapped up a match of Squad Battle and was waiting for the next one when I realized I’d just played six consecutive matches of Halo without blinking, and I didn’t want to stop. I was having a really good time…
This week saw the release of Metal Gear Solid: The Master Collection, which makes one of the great gaming series available once more on contemporary platforms.

Earlier this month, Polish game devs, including several from CD Projekt Red, formed the Polish Gamedev Workers Union (PGWU). This came in the wake of further layoffs at the company in July, to the tune of 9% of its workforce. At the time, CEO Adam Kiciński explained the move as something to help make the…
Cyberpunk’s 2.02 patch has hit, bringing with it a surfeit of tweaks, fixes, and improvements to Night City in the wake of the game’s sweeping 2.0 update and accompanying redemption arc. As usual there’s a whole lot of bullet points here, and I’ll put the full patch notes below, but there are a couple of…
Dave the Diver is a genuine hit. The fishing and sushi restaurant management adventure has already rocketed to the top of my game of the year list, and it’s one of the most-played games on Steam. Now that it’s on Nintendo Switch, it’ll find even more fans. If you’re thinking about diving in yourself, we’ve…
