August is another quiet month for new PC game releases in 2026, but use the lull to catch up on other games from this year (or month) before September. I don’t know if you’ve looked at the calendar for the next few months—it’s, uh, a lot. As Lincoln pointed out, the Summer Game Fest announcements…
Dark Heresy is currently in beta, and Owlcat is keeping everyone informed about the inquisitorial CRPG’s progress via a quarterly update. Said update collates news including the addition of daemonhosts to the enemies we’ll face (if you’ve gone up against them in Darktide you’ll know that’s a big deal), community-voted customization options making it into…
The Borderlands film was not good. I don’t know anyone who likes it, and I’ve never read anyone say something nice about it on the internet. Even its creator, Eli Roth, doesn’t seem to like it very much, and in a new interview with the director we can gain some insight into why it ended…
Let’s take a look at the scoreboard: A 1TB Steam Deck costs $1,000. A top-of-the-line gaming PC costs $7,000. A PS5 starts at $650, an over 50% increase from its launch six years ago. A modest hard drive goes for rent money. The RAMpocalypse continues unabated. The Steam Machine is a hard sell out of…
And now it’s official: Electronic Arts, one of the most storied publishers in videogame history, has been fully acquired by a consortium made up of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and investment firms Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. EA said in a press release that the takeover “brings long-term capital, sector expertise, and strategic support”…
This Game Costs 200 Dollars is a game on Steam that, literally, costs $200. The listing describes it as a “psychological ‘comedic’ experience,” and promises it’s absolutely worth “every single cent” of its wildly inflated price. You might have doubts, but it was enough of a hook that for one brief, shining moment, developer Stolen…
Despite Valve warning them that matches will be “very rocky” to start, Deadlock players are struggling to adjust to the MOBA’s new ranked mode. Late last week, Deadlock finally got a proper ranked mode, replacing the rudimentary version that existed for the last couple of years. Valve reworked the matchmaking system behind it, added a…

Growing up in the ’90s, good joysticks were strangely hard to come by. The stiff sticks on my local arcade cabinets, already inferior to their Japanese counterparts, always seemed to be so worn down that I’d have to smash them from edge-to-edge just to register an input. And yet the sticks attached to my friend’s…
The island in co-op walking simulator Big Walk is home to lots of puzzles, and those puzzles can’t be completed by a single player. This is a co-op game in the truest sense of the word: you can’t get anywhere alone. Some puzzles involve flipping switches in unison, others require communicating over long distances or…
