It came as little surprise a full week before the release of the new Nvidia RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs that scalpers were already attempting to gouge on RTX 50 graphics cards, cards they didn’t even have. But what, exactly, can be done? AIB GPU maker Zotac may have a solution, selling cards directly to…
Crysis 4 has been put ‘on hold’ as developer Crytek lays off 15% of its workforce, stating it “cannot continue as before and remain financially sustainable. In a statement posted on X, Crytek cited “complex, unfavourable market dynamics” as the reason behind the reductions, which will affect roughly 60 of the around 400 employees within…
I’m in. I intone the words with a sense of victory as I navigate the file directory using only shell commands—a feat that might have impressed the occasional adolescent maybe two decades ago. But then, the camera pans out to reveal a PDF document… inside a Chrome browser… running on Windows. Yes, this is Linux…
Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt of Rivia in CD Projekt Red’s trilogy of Witcher games, has returned to his role this week in Netflix’s animated movie adaptation Sirens of the Deep. He told me that getting into Geralt’s voice is like “slipping into a warm bath” but also like a muscle he’s done a lot…
The Subnautica 2 community drifted into shark-infested waters recently, as developer Unknown Worlds cautioned players about “fraudulent links” to a supposed playtest being sent out to fans and community members on Steam. Reported by GamesRadar, the Subnautica 2 developer first sounded the alarm on X, posting that it had “been made aware” fake links to…

But there are a couple of classics still missing from the…
Well here’s a nice surprise: Elden Ring Nightreign’s official release date is May 30, a good chunk earlier in the year than I would’ve guessed when FromSoftware announced it in December. Coinciding with a bunch of new Nightreign hands-on impressions, Bandai Namco also shared that the co-op Elden Ring spinoff will cost $40, the same…
Elden Ring Nightreign clicked the moment I hit level 2. My squad had just dropped into Nightreign’s remixed version of Limgrave. Unlike in every other Souls game, I didn’t have to create a character or weigh the options of starting equipment. I was a bird man named Guardian, and all I really had to know…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Bohemia is for lovers. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2‘s romance options are many and varied, ranging from quick flings to longer-term commitments, and the good news is that pursuing them isn’t all that hard. In some cases, it’s just a matter of picking clearly marked flirty dialogue…
Are you familiar with the concept of ‘architectural forgery’? Before today, neither was I. In Japan, proposed construction exceeding a certain number of floors must prove it is structurally safe (and, importantly, earthquake resistant) by submitting architectural drawings and calculations to the authorities.
