One of the ‘fun’ things about Deadlock being in ‘closed beta’—that is, not officially released, but relatively accessible with an invite from a pal—is the fact that Valve is under no compulsion or desire to keep the meta stable for any serious length of time. As is the case with Silver. Silver’s the newest hero…
Arc Raiders, like many other games, have had to deal with its fair share of cheaters. The devs have taken to burning them in locked rooms, dishing out big bans, and handing all the loot lost to these rats back to their rightful owners. And now Embark is cracking down on cheaters even more: by…
Fraser Brown, Online Editor (Image credit: Future) Last week: I had a miserable time trying to mod Fallout: New Vegas on my Steam Deck, all because I really like a silly TV show.

We all knew it was coming, but Anran is one of five new Overwatch heroes coming in The Reign of Talon’s Season 1: Conquest. Wuyang’s sister and fellow Wuxing University student, this DPS hero fans the flames—quite literally—with powerful new abilities and perks to blitz through the backline.

All of that remains true, except that when it releases on February 18 The Killing Stone will now be releasing into early access rather…
Valve has broken its silence on its forthcoming hardware line-up, offering new details on the Steam Frame and Steam Machine, as well as an answer for why it hasn’t revealed pricing and a release date yet (hint: blame the RAMpocalypse). It has also dropped some information about the kind of performance we can expect on…
I didn’t play Dragon Quest 7 when it first appeared on Sony’s PlayStation back in 2000. It was an expensive import RPG (even in its translated US form) in my part of the world, and as I already had plenty of those clogging up my shelves I was happy to leave it alone. By the…

It’s not uncommon to hear executives at AI companies and other such boosters say that the public has been slow to embrace the glories of AI because they just don’t understand it. A new report by consumer research firm Circana suggests that’s actually not the case, however, finding that among people who don’t want AI…
