Steam went offline earlier today in an odd but thankfully brief hitch that may have been a small part of a much bigger thing: Xbox, PlayStation, Riot Games, and Epic all suffered a very sudden spike in outage reports at around the same time last night, and that’s led to speculation that it might be…
Battlefield 6 launches this Friday, the first entry in four years for a once-bombastic series that never got bad, exactly, but maybe lost a bit of its identity in chasing the all-conquering Call of Duty. The die-hards will tell you that Battlefield 2042 is a great game now, after years of post-launch support, but Battlefield…
It’s almost hard to believe that a little over a year ago Diablo 4 looked like a completely different game. Blizzard pried it open and rearranged how loot works, giving the action RPG a solid foundation to build off of over the following seasons. The constantly evolving nature of live service games, however, means that…
The big Game Pass price hike announced last week took an unexpected twist today as Microsoft has confirmed that subscribers “in certain countries” won’t actually have to pay the higher rate, at least for now. The issue first came to light on Reddit, where some users claimed to have received emails stating that their existing…
Today we got our first look at gameplay from Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, the next game from Astroneer developer System Era Softworks and published by Devolver Digital. It looks like a lot of fun, though I do have a couple reservations right out of the gate. Beginning at a space station crammed with astronauts, up to…
Remember when Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man and owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, said that too many game companies are owned by giant corporations and so his giant corporation was going to start a game studio to “make games great again?” And even better, in the completely ironic sense, it was going to…
The first trailer for season 4 of The Witcher on Netflix is here, showcasing the new Geralt, his new team, and most importantly of all, a debut date of October 30. We haven’t previously known the release date for the fourth season of Netflix’s best-known monster-killing show, so that’s probably the real headline news here….
The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for their path-finding work in the field of quantum mechanics. It’s been a long time coming—three whole decades, in fact—but that’s seemingly how long it took to recognize that work was pivotal to the development of a whole lot of technology since the 1980s….
I’ll be honest, if you asked me to run down a list of good settings for a survival/crafting extraction shooter, ‘train’ would not feature highly. By their nature, trains are long, cramped, and narrow, and the only material you’re likely to come across is that one weird tissue that some former passenger has left wedged…
It’s Tuesday morning on the west coast, and Steam is down. The website Steamstat.us is reporting multiple errors on the gaming storefront. The APIs for multiple Valve games, including Counter-Strike 2 and Deadlock, are also registering as offline. While Steamstat.us reports that many players are still connected to Steam’s services, the store and community websites…
