Arc Raiders is home to some of the nicest players I’ve come across in a multiplayer game. From players teaming up together to take out huge arcs to the emergence of “care bear lobbies”, which even surprised the devs. I’m not saying everyone in this game is a saint, but there certainly are some who…
Discord’s age verification rollout has been met with… shall we say, dismay by many users of the platform, with many hunting for a better, more privacy-focused alternative. The news was even less well-received when Discord informed some UK users that they may be part of an “experiment” with an age verification provider called Persona, the…
Skate’s free-to-play resurrection hasn’t had a smooth ride in early access. While it attracted millions of players at launch, it slumped to an early “Mixed” rating on Steam, and the following months of trudging through microtransaction muck and technical troubles haven’t done much to improve player sentiment. This week, EA seems determined to test how…
This week, Corsair has announced that its Frame 4000D cases are getting two new colourways: Nova and Galaxy. They have colour-shift paint finishes “that change tone as light moves across the surface”. Corsair says this creates “a refined and subtle look that shifts with viewing angle and ambient lighting” The Nova case appears to be…
Since the rollout of Overwatch’s overhaul at the start of each week, players have to make a choice: whose side are you on, Overwatch or Talon? It’s part of the weekly Conquest event and sees players on each side complete small tasks for specific prizes. It’s a cool concept, but it’s made me come to…
We’re a week away from Resident Evil Requiem’s release and getting to see just what’s in store for Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy. But despite all of the showcases and reveals Capcom has kept its cards close to its chest with this one. All we really know is that Leon’s “hot uncle” design was thanks…
One of Arc Raiders‘ most contentious systems is the Expedition. This is an opt-in seasonal wipe that enables players to effectively delete their accounts and restart the game every two months or so. In return, you get a few semi-permanent boosts, such as extra stash space and perk points, plus unique cosmetics to show off…
Patrick Söderlund is the founder and CEO of Embark Studios, the maker of Arc Raiders. And Arc Raiders, you may have heard, is something of a hit—well, no, it’s a huge hit, one of the biggest releases of 2025 and enough to give Bungie some serious flop sweat about Marathon. It did so well, in…
Todd Howard has received your emails, seen your comments, possibly even read my articles (sorry, Todd), but no: it sounds like he’s not going to remake Morrowind, or Daggerfall, or Fallout 1 any time soon. A remaster, though? Well, perhaps. In a recent chat with Kinda Funny, Howard says he’s “softened on the whole remaster…
Mchose has introduced me to the smaller-brand mouse ‘clone’ market, and it’s changed how I look at gaming mice pretty significantly. I was aware of brands such as this one before, of course, but after having my hands on one of the company’s mice and realising it’s actually good and costs just $60… well, that…
