Some days the alphabet feels more like a general concept than an orderly collection of letters, and no matter how hard you try, the right ones just don’t seem to turn up in time. If that sounds like you, you’ll be pleased to hear that we’ve got the answer to today’s Wordle waiting for you…
We’re closing in on the end of 2025, but can we just skip over 2026? ‘Cuz I’m already getting restless for 2027 when it comes to videogame adaptations. That’s because 2027 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years for movies based on videogames. Possibly the biggest ever. Here’s the current videogame movie…
The Arc Raiders server slam playtest kicked off today, offering one last free weekend testing session before the game launches on October 30. And it’s putting up serious numbers, with more than 185,000 people playing right now—on Steam alone. That number, courtesy of SteamDB, is good enough to put Arc Raiders in the number four…
OpenAI has said it will stop its AI video-generating app Sora from creating videos featuring the likeness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., after receiving a request from his estate.

Ahead of launch, Obsidian (sarcastically) predicted that The Outer Worlds 2 companions are “the part of the game you’ll remember more than the ending.” Hey, in an action-RPG that just might be true. The companions in the first game of its not-Fallout space corporation tech dystopia were certainly one of its high points. As is…
A whole lot is riding on Football Manager 26 which, after the late cancellation of FM 25, has to deliver a major leap forward for the beloved management sim. The early signs are positive, with showcases of the new-look match engine, overhauled tactics, a reimagined UI and the debut of the women’s game all going…
The next World of Warcraft expansion, Midnight, will finally add player housing to the venerable MMO. It arrives December 3 and the early signs are very positive: Blizzard may well have dragged its feet over adding a feature that much of the competition already has but, as PCG’s Harvey Randall points out, it’s also been…
Sometimes, it’s hard to get overly excited about a new bit of PC gaming kit. Take the gaming routers, for example. We all use them (and yes, I know it’s technically more than just a router—there’s a switch and a wireless access point in the box, too), but they just sit on a shelf somewhere…
