Launch week server headaches have rankled everyone trying to play Payday 3, but the most frustrated are those who don’t even want to play the new co-op heist shooter online. Payday 3’s always-online construction means that solo players still have to connect to the matchmaking server to start private heists, which has subjected them to…
Cyberpunk 2077’s cheats and console commands have a tumultuous history. When Cyberpunk first released, you were able to enter cheats through the debug console, bending Night City to your will. That power didn’t last long. CD Projekt Red disabled the debug console with the 1.05 patch released shortly after launch. Soon modders stepped in with…
EVE FanFest is celebrating 20 years of CCP’s unique space MMO, and has given us our first look at new FPS module EVE Vanguard and the reveal of EVE’s next expansion: Havoc, coming November 14.

Like an angry cyborg ninja with something to prove, CD Projekt Red has taken a pair of bloat-cutting mantis blades to Cyberpunk 2077’s formerly overwrought crafting and upgrade system. It now couldn’t be easier to keep a favorite iconic weapon up-to-date as your V makes the long march from level one to 60. Cyberpunk’s loot…
Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 patch has brought with it sweeping changes to game balance and progression, but the change I’ve appreciated the most since returning to the streets of Night City is how grenades and health consumables now regenerate. No longer must you toil, disassembling mountains of trash plucked from the still-warm hands of freshly killed…
Don’t say the ‘D’ word. Ever since Dust 514’s 2013 debut and subsequent flaming out a few years later, a segment of EVE fans have wanted one thing: Dust 2. Well, that and EVE Valkyrie 2. EVE Vanguard is not Dust 2: nooooo. But it is a continuation of that idea, or ideal, and perhaps…
Baldur’s Gate 3‘s latest patch—the third in two months—is out right now, and it’s a doozy. The two big headliners are things we knew about already, but just in case you missed them—Baldur’s Gate 3 is now on Mac, and there’s also now a magic mirror in your camp that’ll let you change your custom…
