Take-Two chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick has never been shy about sharing his thoughts on artificial intelligence, and he’s been pretty consistent about it over the years, too. While some game industry CEOs see the rise of AI as an imminent revolution in revenue-generation (and yeah, sure, creativity and whatnot), Zelnick has always been a…
In the 12 years Path of Exile has been on this Earth, it’s never gone back to an old system and remade it. Game director Mark Roberts tells PC Gamer that there’s a few reasons for that, but mostly it’s a fear that not making something fresh—as Grinding Gear Games has always done—might disappoint its…
Duck-themed singleplayer extraction shooter Escape From Duckov is currently one of the biggest games on Steam—particularly in China, where the majority of its over 1 million sales and Overwhelmingly Positive reviews originate. While it’s drawing a comparatively smaller crowd of English-speaking players, the anglophone reception has been just as positive. Duckov’s got a surprising amount…
Fallout 5 was nowhere to be seen during today’s Fallout Day broadcast, but Bethesda did unveil some sort-of-newish Fallout in the form of the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition and the Fallout: New Vegas 15th Anniversary Bundle, a big-box package that comes complete with a big ol’ Securitron statue. I’m going to go with the New…
Microsoft’s last two years have been marked by the layoffs of more than 10,000 workers, repeated development studio closures, and countless game cancellations—a relentless series of bloodletting and downsizing, made only more dire by the preceding consolidation campaign that saw swaths of the games industry brought under the corporation’s gaming division.

I’ve seen a lot of horrifying sights as we creep closer to Halloween: a giant flesh-hungry eyeball in YAPYAP, a seagull eating a pigeon at the end of my street, but this Battlefield 6 video really takes the cake. Posted on Reddit by Ok_Paramedic4770, the video shows some freak rush into a room mid-fight in…
Razer has been on a tear. Not satisfied with being our top pick for the best high-end controller once, they’ve only gone and done it again with the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K. But if you’re not a fan of this pad’s Xbox-style asymmetric sticks and button glyphs, Razer has another ‘don’t worry, I’ve got…
I love a good piece of satire. Unfortunately, we appear to be living in a world where satire and reality have become so closely intertwined, it’s sometimes difficult to tell the difference. Which is why I was left scratching my head when I discovered this ludicrous job posting for an AI advertising company in my…
Earlier this week, Pocketpair Publishing boss John Buckley said his company isn’t interesting in handling games built with generative AI: “If you’re big on AI stuff or your game is Web3 or uses NFTs, there are lots of publishers out there [who will], but we’re not the right partner for that.” One of those partners,…
Borderlands 4 hasn’t done terribly for itself—some terrible UI design choices and stuttery framerates weren’t enough to stop it from landing a solid critical reception (including from yours truly in my Borderlands 4 review). That’s been reflected in the sales it’s gathered in the US. Per analyst firm Circana (via Gamesindustry.biz), Borderlands 4 has Gearbox…
