In November, just three months after it launched into early access, Starlight Re:Volver halted updates. Despite a demo that did well during Steam Next Fest, the anime action RPG underperformed at launch. Pahdo Labs laid off half its team, halted updates, and said it was going “back to the drawing board”, with a follow-up announcement…
Amazon’s Fallout website has been counting down to something since early January, and since the timer coincides with the release of Fallout Season 2 Episode 8, some hopeful fans decided maybe the countdown would lead to the announcement of something special. Maybe a Fallout 3 remaster! Heck, maybe a Fallout: New Vegas remaster! You’ve got…
Warning: Spoilers for Fallout Season 2 Episode 8! With Fallout Season 1 set in California, like the original Fallout game, and Fallout Season 2 set in Nevada, like Fallout: New Vegas, I was sort of expecting Fallout Season 3 to take place in another region we’ve visited before in the games.

Warning: Spoilers for Fallout Season 2 Episode 8! Fallout Season 2 wrapped up today, ending with a few questions answered and a whole lot more questions raised—including a big one (literally) in a post-credits sequence at the very end of Episode 8. Without getting all the way into spoilers for the episode, Fallout Season 2…

The latest episode is focused entirely on Disco’s art, which means…
There once was a time when climbing into a vehicle in Helldivers 2 was tantamount to strapping a bomb to your back. Be it jeeps that couldn’t survive a fender bender or mechs that exploded when a bug glanced at them menacingly—Helldivers 2 pilots could burn bright, but not for long. I’m glad those days…
The Epic Games Store development team is now squarely focused on “the things that players need,” says store GM Steve Allison. After launching the store in 2018, Epic prioritized building features aimed at game publishers, because “there’s no store without content,” Allison said on a call with PC Gamer this week. Attention was then turned…
There was a spot of consternation over Google’s new AI-powered world builder Project Genie earlier this week: In the immediate wake of the software’s announcement, the share prices of a handful of companies, including game engine maker Unity and Grand Theft Auto 6 publisher Take-Two Interactive, took a notable tumble. During today’s investors call following…
Obsidian released three major games in 2025, at a time when most major studios—especially those owned by Microsoft—struggle to ship one. Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 were big tentpole first-person RPGs of a kind the industry used to dine out on, while Grounded 2—an early access survival crafting game set in a miniature world,…
