Так или иначе, кому-то места не хватит.

Steam Machine ощущается как ПК для консольных геймеров.

Тех людей, которые не играли на платформе до появления Steam Deck на рынке в 2022 году.

Устройство работает на той же операционной системе и обладает той же библиотекой, но способно запускать игры с более высокими настройками.

Для владельцев игры апдейт будет бесплатным.

Появился дебютный тизер — с Конгом и морским чудовищем.

А также скорректировали цену «косметики» во внутриигровом магазине и добавили возможность разделить пачки ресурсов.

В шоу вошло шесть эпизодов.

Для The Finals вышло масштабное обновление — с улучшенной разрушаемостью, повторами и новым оружиемПоявилась поддержка русского языка — теперь официально.

Sony также занимается MMORPG по франшизе Horizon совместно с NCSOFT.

Недавно они выпустили обновление 1.0.4 и раскрыли план контентной поддержки на ближайший год.

Актуальная дорожная карта выглядит следующим образом:Уже доступно — патч 1.0.4, который предлагает всевозможные исправления багов, подтянутую стабильность и сохранения при выходе из игры.

Первый квартал 2026-го (с января по март) — тематическое обновление ко Дню святого Валентина.

Второй квартал 2026-го (с апреля по июнь) — релиз сюжетного дополнения Loose Cannon с историей шерифа Бенни.

Третий квартал 2026-го (с июля по сентябрь) — релиз сюжетного дополнения The Flower & the Flame с историей примогены Изабеллы.

Независимая команда Poncle внезапно анонсировала и тут же выпустила VR-версию хитовой Vampire Survivors эксклюзивно для гарнитуры Quest 3.

Игра уже доступна для покупки по цене в $9,99.

Новая версия также включает в себя контент из дополнений Legacy of the Moonspell и Tides of the Foscari.

Основы игрового процесса остались без изменений — геймерам в роли разношёрстных выживших нужно продержаться как можно дольше в битве со всё возрастающей ордой кровожадных монстров, собирая по пути золото и самоцветы для открытия и прокачки новых способностей.

На этом сюрпризы от Poncle не кончаются — под конец трейлера разработчики призвали игроков ждать ещё одного анонса в ближайшем будущем.

Недавние слухи о готовящихся портах оригинальной Red Dead Redemption для актуальных платформ подтвердились довольно быстро.

Напомним, на консолях текущего поколения Red Dead Redemption работает по обратной совместимости.

Что касается мобильных версий, то они будут доступны как в App Store, так и в Google Play, а подписчики Netflix смогут скачать их без дополнительных затрат.

Обладатели Red Dead Redemption на консолях прошлого поколения смогут обновиться до нативной некстген-версии совершенно бесплатно.

И напоследок ещё один приятный бонус — прямо на релизе новых версий Red Dead Redemption войдёт в каталог PlayStation Plus как для PS5, так и для PS4.

Благодаря этому прохождение одного и того же квеста может кардинально отличаться в зависимости от того, в какой форме находится герой.

Это выражается не только в боевой системе, но и в происходящих событиях.

В новой презентации внимание уделили одному из заданий, в котором Коэну нужно отыскать легендарный меч.

Ролик разделён на две части: в первой разработчики демонстрируют прохождение этого квеста в человеческой форме, а во второй — в вампирской.

Ранее сотрудники Rebel Wolves также заявляли, что игроки вольны оборвать любой квест на середине и потратить время на что-нибудь другое.

Глава Xbox Фил Спенсер (Phil Spencer) прокомментировал анонс новых устройств от Valve.

Он заявил, что индустрия только выигрывает от того, что у геймеров и девелоперов появляется больше возможностей.

Как один из крупнейших издателей в Steam, мы рады появлению новых возможностей для игроков по всему миру.

«Обычно мы отталкиваемся от собственного опыта в ПК-гейминге — от того, чего нам самим не хватает, и от того, что говорят наши пользователи», — объяснили в компании.

Среди грядущих новинок — мощный мини-ПК Steam Machine, автономная VR-гарнитура Steam Frame и усовершенствованный геймпад Steam Controller с сенсорным управлением.

Ожидаемо, на главный приз претендуют одни из самых громких релизов года в лице Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades II и Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Трейлер с анонсом даты релиза дополнения A Haunted Day.

Издатель NEOWIZ и студия Wonder Potion объявили, что бесплатное дополнение A Haunted Day для платформера SANABI выйдет на ПК уже 27 ноября, а на Nintendo Switch появится чуть позже.

В отличие от основной игры, где ключевым элементом был крюк, A Haunted Day делает ставку на акробатический бой и мощный дробовик.

Скриншоты SANABI: A Haunted Day со страницы в Steam.

Разработчики обещают динамичные схватки, новые способности и немного загадочности — ведь название A Haunted Day выбрано не случайно.

Вчера Valve представила целых 3 новых устройства, но Steam Deck 2 среди них не оказалось.

Очевидно, что сейчас Steam Deck не в центре нашего внимания.

Мы анализируем развитие процессоров и архитектур, и, думаю, у нас уже сложилось довольно чёткое представление о том, каким будет следующий Steam Deck.

Пьер-Лу ГриффэДва года назад Пьер-Лу Гриффэ говорил, что компания не собирается выпускать новое поколение Steam Deck в ближайшие годы.

Пока же Valve сосредоточена на других чёрных привлекательных штуках за много баксов: в начале недели компания представила три новые разработки — настольный ПК Steam Machine, VR-шлем Steam Frame и обновлённый Steam Controller.

Ещё в августе на церемонии открытия выставки gamescom 2025 Amazon показала дебютный тизер-трейлер второго сезона сериала «Фоллаут».

Как уже отмечалось неоднократно, центральной локацией второго сезона станет знаменитый Нью-Вегас с окружающей его пустошью.

Также ожидаются флешбеки с предысторией Гуля, который ещё до падения бомб встречался с самим мистером Хаусом.

Премьера второго сезона «Фоллаут» состоится 17 декабря на Prime Video.

На этом история явно не закончится, ибо сериал официально продлили на третий сезон.

Датамайнеры покопались в файлах ныне мёртвой XDefiant и обнаружили примечательные изображения, которые оказались связаны с готовящейся Far Cry 7.

Изначально Far Cry 7 создавалась под кодовым названием Talisker, но затем разработку перезапустили, разделив тайтл на две части.

Хендерсон уточнил, что мутанты появятся только в Blackbird, в то время как в Maverick ожидается уже привычная фауна вроде волков и медведей.

Ныне развитие серии Far Cry зависит от Vantage Studios — новоиспечённого подразделения Ubisoft, которое объединяет сотрудников из студий в Монреале, Квебеке, Сагенее, Шербруке, Барселоне и Софии.

Полноценно Far Cry 7 ещё не анонсирована, и фанатам ничего не остаётся, кроме как ждать…

Чуть больше года тому назад Rockstar выпустила ПК-версию первой Red Dead Redemption, и похоже, на этом история игры не заканчивается, так как она внезапно получила возрастной рейтинг от ESRB для новых платформ — PlayStation 5, Xbox Series и Nintendo Switch 2.

По всей видимости, Rockstar готовит пока ещё неанонсированные нативные версии игры для консолей текущего поколения.

Логично предположить, что они включат повышенную производительность по сравнению с уже давно доступными портами для PS4, Xbox One и оригинальной Switch.

Напомним, последняя на сегодняшний день версия Red Dead Redemption предлагает поддержку ультрашироких мониторов с соотношением сторон 32:9, а также нативное разрешение 4K…

Независимый профсоюз работников Великобритании (IWGB) инициировал судебное разбирательство против Rockstar Games, обвинив последнюю в несправедливом увольнении сотрудников.

В объединении уверены, что такой поступок Rockstar равносилен «преследованию и коллективному увольнению, связанному с профсоюзной деятельностью».

Как утверждают члены IWGB, в Rockstar отказались встречаться с представителями профсоюза и продолжили процедуру увольнения членов объединения «неприемлемым и противозаконным способом».

Мы уверены, что перед нами — чистой воды борьба с профсоюзами, и мы обеспечим нашу полную правовую защиту с привлечением экспертов, юристов и адвокатов.

Таким работодателям, как Rockstar, не меша…

Пять лет назад в продажу поступила PlayStation 5, ознаменовав «новую эпоху скорости, погружения и креативности», как указали в Sony Interactive Entertainment.

В честь годовщины компания опубликовала статистику, связанную с PS5.

Больше 50 % от всех сеансов дистанционной игры через Remote Play теперь приходятся на PlayStation Portal.

Аксессуар опередил мобильные устройства, ПК, PS4 и PS5 вместе взятые.

В Sony напомнили, что на каждой PS5 и аксессуарах для неё нанесено множество фигур, связанных в PlayStation.

Недавно они выпустили свежее обновление под номером 1.10, которое предлагает «казуальный» уровень сложности и не только.

В числе основных изменений патча:«Казуальная» сложность, которую можно выбрать как в начале прохождения, так и после многократных смертей на более высоких уровнях.

Добавлена функция пропуска отдельных секций во время прохождения в «Новой игре+».

Ubisoft и Evil Empire выпустили трейлер для The Rogue Prince of Persia, в котором обозначили дату запуска игры на Switch и Switch 2.

Версии для консолей Nintendo оптимизированы как для портативного, так и для стационарного режима работы.

В августе 2025-го состоялся полноценный релиз в Steam, Epic Games Store и Microsoft Store, Ubisoft Store, а также на PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series.

«Принц» доступен и в подписных сервисах Game Pass и PlayStation Plus.

10 апреля в продажу поступят физические издания The Rogue Prince of Persia для PlayStation 5, Switch и Switch 2 в двух изданиях — стандартном и версии Immortal.

Valve научилась считать до трёх — у Xbox проблемы. Почему анонсы Steam Machine и Steam Frame важнее, чем кажутсяВечером 12 ноября Гейб Ньюэлл без объявления войны представил миру новую линейку игровых устройств: мини-ПК Steam Machine, VR-шлем Steam Frame и геймпад Steam Controller. На первый взгляд ничего необычного. Однако представленные новинки от Valve на самом деле открывают второй фронт в консольных войнах, потому что на этот раз компания намерена всерьёз побороться за место в экосистеме домашних развлечений. Как именно она планирует это сделать и почему эти анонсы куда значимее, чем кажутся на первый взгляд — разбираемся в этом материале.

Lies Of P publishers Neowiz – gosh, perilously close to writing Lies Of Publishers, there!

- have revealed that they have seven PC games in development, including their already announced Lies of P sequel.

As shared in their latest investor presentation, Neowiz have several PC and console projects listed on a slide intimidatingly labelled “global expansion”.

That’s in addition to the new immersive sim from Weird West developers Wolfeye, and a “noir west CRPG” from Warsaw-based Zakazane Studios.

All this plus Lies Of P 2, or whatever they eventually call it.

Now that disclaimer's out of the way, Amazon's Fallout TV series has gotten another trailer ahead of its December 17th debut.

Over 200 staff at GTA 6 developers Rockstar North have signed a letter to management calling for the "immediate reinstatement" of 31 workers fired recently by the company.

Rockstar claimed they fired these staffers for "gross misconduct", subsequently accusing them of sharing confidential info publicly.

UK union the IWGB, of which the fired staff were members, have accused Rockstar of union busting and filed legal claims against the company.

The union have also held protests outside Rockstar North and Take-Two's UK offices.

Now, according to the IWGB, a letter signed by 220 staff at Edinburgh-based Rockstar North has been delivered to the studio's management.

Most of the time though, Assetto Corsa Rally with a wheel feels a lot like you’re skating on ice, rather than the gravel and tarmac it currently offers.

My first thought was that I’d somehow forgotten to plug in the wheel’s power supply, but everything was in order.

However, assuming that’s the main culprit in what I’ve outlined above, I’d argue a substantial shift is ideally needed.

Currently, I’ve had as hard a time with them as any of the more powerful four wheel or rear wheel drive cars which are supposed to be more challenging.

There are some launch day patch notes and a rundown of what the mode you unlock if you beat the single-player bit involves.

First of all, the day one patch notes can be found here, running through the myriad of adjustments which have been made since the beta.

I've had to pull myself away and look at another Black Ops 7 thing Activision have been talking about this week.

Basically, once you've finished Blops 7's campaign, you unlock a multiplayer mode revolving around a big fight with up to 32 players slugging it out across a huge map.

Now all of those guns from before are asking me if I love them enough to invite them into endgame.

Among the trio of new hardware devices Valve just announced for 2026 – which also include the Steam Frame VR headset and a redesigned Steam Controller – the new Steam Machine is probably the most surprising.

Mainly because the original Steam Machines, a series of partner-built SteamOS mini-PCs, sank like rectangular stones upon launching in 2015.

"We learned from the first Steam Machines that we needed to make our developers’ lives a lot easier.

And although an increasingly common blockade for the Steam Deck has been its struggles with squeezing adequate performance out of technically demanding games, Valve are sure that the brawnier Steam Machine won’t fall short on speed.

There's a new "casual" difficulty option and the chance to a certain sections during a new game plus run, plus some wider tweaks that should make the game less combat-intensive.

Meanwhile, the option to skip the section that begins once you pass through the a door after solving the mural puzzle during a new game plus run is seemingly aimed at new game plus folks who just want to see all of the endings.

Subnautica 2 and InZoi publishers Krafton have launched a voluntary redundancy program in what appears to be a bid to shed ballast and winnow out unbelievers as they reorganise around the usage of generative AI.

Krafton announced plans to refocus on generative AI for game development in late October.

These refocussings include splurging $20.8 million / 30 million Korean won on retraining the workforce to use generative AI tools, while implementing some kind of automated management system.

Generative AI aside, Krafton are slap-bang in the middle of a legal war with ousted Unknown Worlds founders over the quality and release timing of Subnautica 2.

A simple pleasure of Wall World was that it played like a fusion of Missile Command and Manic Miner.

Wall World 2 brings even more ways for your greed to be your undoing.

This slow ramping up of power is similar to the original Wall World.

Bethesda are planning to release two patches to Fallout 4 in order to rectify issues with its anniversary edition, meaning that the potential's there for more havoc to be played with mods.

"We’re actively investigating issues you’re encountering with the latest Fallout 4 update and Anniversary Edition launch," the latest Steam post from Bethesda reads.

"You should now see faster load times of the Creations menu, game menu, and redemption of Creation Club items."

Bethesda haven't specified what'll be in either patch yet, with the exception of a boost to local Creations storage on Xbox.

Here's hoping any tweaks are minimal, but even then, such is the nature of game updates that it can only ta…

It's been a surprise hit - according to the gabbling labcoats at GameDiscoverCo, AdHoc's superhero workplace comedy is approaching two million sales.

Ah yes, here we go: speaking to GameDiscoverCo, AdHoc's CEO and exec producer Michael Choung has suggested that it's partly down to the weekly episodic release schedule.

One is that I can now no longer tolerate the thought of episodic schedules at all.

If I dangle the prospect of killing off a major character, is that a better fit for a weekly rollout?

Still, I can just about remember enough of episodes 1 and 2 to grasp the stakes going into episode 3.

According to an unexpected November 13 press release, the company has decided to postpone sharing its earnings "until the publication of its first-half 2025-26 results."

Ubisoft requests that Euronext (a European exchange market) to halt trading until further notice.

The publisher's statement reads:Ubisoft announces the postponement of the release of its results for the first half of fiscal year 2025-26.

Ubisoft will inform the market of the date on which trading will restart.

Today’s earnings report is going to be spicy, and is liable to cause a big swing in the price of Ubisoft shares.

The on-going situation between Rockstar and 31 dismissed employees is such a big deal, it's finally made its way to a session in the House of Commons.

I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again."

I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

"That company is video game company Rockstar, who's fired at least 30 employees across its UK studios, including Rockstar North in Edinburgh.

This is just the most recent update in the on-going saga surrounding Rockstar and the 31 workers fired recently by the company.

A new trailer for Fallout Season 2 has been released, giving us a quick peak at what'll be going down in and around New Vegas.

Moments of note include a fight with a Deathclaw, a glimpse of The Kings, and a close up of Macaulay Culkin.

Macaulay Culkin is seen as a member of The Legion, seemingly stabbing some poor guy in a gruesome fashion.

We know Walton Goggins (who plays The Ghoul) thinks Season 2 is pretty darn good, which is a positive sign.

It was only back in May he peeled off his skin in celebration of the second season wrapping up filming.

Nintendo has released a new trailer for its cosy Pokémon spin-off Pokopia, revealing new forms for series icons Pikachu and Snorlax.

"At the end of the day, it's a PC in every way," Valve hardware engineer Yazan Aldehayyat explained to Eurogamer as part of an introduction to the new Steam Machines.

Xbox is pointing at PCs and saying 'this is an Xbox' - but looking at Valve's Steam Machines, I can't help but step back and ask… 'is this a console?'

That's where you can end up booting into the desktop-style operating system in order to download something like GeForce Now or a specific mod.

The new under-telly Steam Machines aim to further this cause.

Valve comes at it from another - adding layers of features and considerations to 'consoleize' their established PC experience.

The first Arc Raiders community event, which asks players to contribute resources to unlock a new explorable area of the game, has been made substantially harder mere hours after launch as the playerbase was completing it too quickly.

Community manager Ossen addressed the sudden change on the official Arc Raiders Discord server, writing: "You have been progressing the unlock event much faster than we anticipated.

The community event requires players to contribute basic resources, like fabric and plastic.

This all begs the question: when will the community event conclude?

If this sounds exciting to you, why not read Eurogamer's Arc Raiders review to figure out if it's the game for you!

In this letter, Rockstar North's employees demand their colleagues - all of whom were Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) Union members - be reinstated.

This letter follows protests in London and Edinburgh earlier this month, which were held in solidarity with the fired employees.

This union was known as The Rockstar Games Workers Union, and aimed to push for better working conditions ahead of the release of Grand Theft Auto 6.

"It's clear to everyone close to this situation that this is a blatant, unapologetic act of vicious union busting.

In a further statement today, IWGB organiser Fred Carter said: "By deciding to fire more than 30 union members, Rockstar have carried out…

Which brings us nicely to the slightly unusual position of the PlayStation 5, which is now five years old.

The numbers say the PS5 is a roaring success.

Part of this is consumer-friendly, of course: cross-platform games means more people with access to playing them when new-generation consoles are at their most scarce and (until now!)

And some early PS4 games were cross-platform too, even if Sony was bolder with the launch-day true-exclusives of, ahem, Killzone: Shadow Fall and Knack.

But I will always be glad to repeat it: Sony built the PlayStation on weirdness, and it mustn't let that go.

Dispatch writer Pierre Shorette regrets cutting sex scenes from AdHoc's episodic superhero workplace comedy.

However, there were some more romantic scenes cut from the final release, which Shorette says on reflection the team "shouldn't have".

On the writing side, our team has a bunch of darlings that had to be killed along the way," the writer closed.

For more, our Bertie has also been playing Dispatch, and this has left him quite excited about AdHoc's involvement with the upcoming Critical Role game.

"That Dispatch made me think over and over that 'this feels like a Critical Role animated show' is some of the highest praise I can heap upon it.

Brendan Greene, the game designer better known by the alias PlayerUnknown, who helped create the battle royale genre - first in an Arma mod, then in H1Z1, then in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) - is planning a new and large-scale multiplayer shooter.

They are significantly different experiences designed to test different parts of an ambitious and potentially industry-shaking new piece of game-making technology.

Game One, Prologue: Go Wayback, was initially created as a way to implement and test terrain-level planetary generation.

Every time you play, the game generates a new 8x8km forested game world for you to survive and explore in.

"Game Two aims to test limited multiplayer, maybe …

South Korean publisher Krafton announced it's transforming into an "AI first" company last month, and is now reducing human jobs with a voluntary resignation scheme.

Krafton announced its "AI First" plan back in October.

The news follows another South Korean developer and publisher, Nexon, whose CEO Junghun Lee believes "it's important to assume that every game company is now using AI".

Nexon is the publisher behind Embark Studios' extraction shooter Arc Raiders, which uses AI for voice work.

According to a report from the organiser behind the Tokyo Games Show, over half of Japanese game companies are using AI in development.

To play Black Ops 7 early, thousands of fans are digitally migrating to New Zealand.

Well, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (like many games) doesn't have a unified worldwide release time.

This isn't a new phenomenon among Call of Duty players, or in all honestly players of various series which have disjointed global rollouts.

Already on community hubs for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 fans including Reddit, fans are celebrating the incoming New Zealand release.

If you don't fancy heading on a quick trip to New Zealand, you can find the global release times for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 to make sure you're awake for the launch.

Kojima Productions has announced its Death Stranding anime series will be heading exclusively to Disney Plus.

Known for the time being as Death Stranding Isolations, the anime was officially announced by Hideo Kojima himself.

Manage cookie settingsThe team also shared some concept art for the Death Stranding anime by Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 character designer Ilya Kuvshinov (see below).

In addition, a film based on the Death Stranding is also in the works.

Red Dead Redemption has been rated by the ESRB for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2, suggesting a remaster is very much on the way.

Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption remaster have been swirling for the last couple of years.

Originally released on the PS3, Red Dead Redemption is available on the PlayStation Store in its PS4 version - that's playable on PS5, but not fully optimised.

This new rating suggests a native current gen version will be on the way.

Back in the summer, rumours circled of a next gen update for Red Dead Redemption 2 - alongside a Switch 2 port.

An upcoming and newly announced game in PlayStation's Horizon series is skipping PS5.

Last night, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West developer Guerilla officially announced the series' long-rumored MMORPG, known as Horizon Steel Frontiers.

Steel Frontiers is coming from NCSoft, though Guerrilla has collaborated with the studio, and is a cross-platform release… for mobile and PC.

Along with the announcement, a trailer was shared for Horizon Steel Frontiers, which you can see further below in this article.

In addition, a film adaptation based on the Horizon series is also in the works.

Парад финансовых отчетов продолжается. На очереди — отчет Tencent по итогам третьего квартала 2025-го, завершившегося 30 сентября.

Но известно, что SUD собирается «глубоко интегрировать» движок и его команду в свой бизнес.

Она рассчитывает, что благодаря покупке Cocos возможности ее платформы станут более комплексными, в то же время создатели движка получат доступ к дополнительным ресурсам.

Cocos — это открытый движок, который изначально был заточен под 2D-игры, но позже в нем появились инструменты и для полноценной работы с трехмерной графикой.

Хотя он поддерживает консоли и ПК, ориентирован движок в основном на мобильные и браузерные игры, в том числе на популярные в Китае мини-игры.

Более того, создатели Cocos обещают разместить в открытом доступе некоторый ранее закрытый код.

Killing Floor 3По сравнению с прошлым годом выручка Embracer Group упала на 19%.

Продажи игр для ПК и консолей принесли холдингу 1,85 млрд шведских крон (196 млн долларов), что на 13% меньше относительно 2024-го.

Выручка от мобильных игр упала гораздо сильнее — сразу на 61% до 535 млн шведских крон (56,6 млн долларов).

Несмотря на падение выручки, Embracer Group оказалась близка к тому, чтобы снова начать получать прибыль.

Также Embracer Group рассказала, что выделение Coffee Stain Group в отдельную компанию идет по плану.

Об этом сооснователи AdHoc Studio Ник Херман (Nick Herman) и Майкл Чунг (Michael Choung) рассказали в интервью порталу Gamesindustry.

DispatchРазработчики заявили, что при текущем темпе продаж Dispatch уже по итогам первых трех месяцев сможет разойтись тиражом, которого изначально от нее ждали только через три года.

Впрочем, никаких цифр Херман и Чунг не раскрыли: они не поделились ни текущими продажами игры, ни прогнозируемыми.

В начале ноября AdHoc Studio сообщала, что за первые 10 дней с момента релиза, состоявшегося 22 октября, Dispatch купили более 1 млн раз.

Благодаря ажиотажу вокруг них игра значительно обновила свой рекорд по пиковому онлайну в Steam: теперь он составляет 220 060 че…

Британский профсоюз Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) направил иск к Rockstar Games.

GTA VIВ сопровождающем иск пресс-релизе профсоюз повторил свое предыдущее заявление: уволенные хотели создать в Rockstar Games собственную профсоюзную организацию, но руководство студии было против.

Сама Rockstar Games ранее объяснила увольнения утечками.

«Работодателям вроде Rockstar Games стоит понимать, что закрытые пространства, такие как Discord-серверы профсоюзов, имеют защиту.

Rockstar Games пока не комментировала иск.

Студия Sharkmob готовится провести увольнения в подразделении в Мальме.

Она пояснила, что пока не может делиться такой информацией, поскольку все еще ведет переговоры с самими кандидатами на увольнение и профсоюзом.

Хотя игра перестала получать новый контент еще в 2023 году, геймеры до сих пор могли проводить в ней время.

Ровно год назад Sharkmob провела массовые увольнения в другом своем подразделении — в лондонском.

Дата его релиза пока не объявлялась, и неясно, как на проекте скажутся проблемы в студии.

Релиз Restaurats в Steam состоялся 7 ноября.

Как пишет глава Polden Publishing Кирилл Орешкин в своем Telegram-канале, по итогам шести дней продаж новинке удалось получить 551 тысячу долларов валовой выручки и разойтись тиражом в 41 тысячу копий.

Хотя релиз Restaurats состоялся менее недели назад, симулятор уже стал второй по кассе игрой в портфолио Polden Publishing.

Ниже — данные о валовой выручке и продажах остальных изданных компанией игр:Lessaria: Fantasy Kingdom Sim — 590,2 тысячи долларов и 41,8 тысячи копий;Bus Flipper: Renovator Simulator — 305,3 тысячи долларов и 30,7 тысячи копий;Static Dread: The Lighthouse — 289,1 тысячи долларов и 36,1 тысячи копий;Train Valley Origins — 51,6 …

Только за последние несколько недель NetEase свернула финансирование сразу трех западных студий.

Разбираемся, что вынуждает компанию пересматривать свои инвестиции, что объединяет пострадавшие команды и насколько этот тренд применим к остальным китайским издателям.

За последние 12 месяцев как минимум шесть студий пострадали от решения NetEase провести переоценку своего западного портфолио.

Неизвестно, сколько денег NetEase вложила в каждую студию.

Зато четко видно, что объединяет эти команды.

«Земский собор»Подробнее о ситуации ведомство рассказало в ответ на обращение депутата Госдумы РФ Антона Горелкина.

В письме ему глава Росстандарта Антон Шалаев пояснил, что игровой ГОСТ действительно готовится, вот только как минимум в текущей редакции он распространяется не на видеоигры, а исключительно на детские игрушки.

По словам Шалаева, Роскачество начало работать над ГОСТом еще в прошлом году, и с тех пор тот претерпел немало изменений.

Упоминались ли видеоигры в предыдущих редакциях проекта ГОСТа — в письме не уточняется.

Из ее доклада следовало, что новый национальный стандарт будет касаться прежде всего визуальных образов и проверять видеоигры и игрушки на наличие жестоких сцен.

О проектеНаш проект — это психологический хоррор, основанный на романе Говарда Лавкрафта «Хребты Безумия».

Также в течении игры можно будет принимать различные решения в процессе диалогов, что будет иметь различные последствия в сюжете.

Речь о различных элементах природы (снег, лёд, камень), так и о древних каменных сооружениях «причудливой геометрии», о которых шла речь в книге.

На проект нужен 3D-аниматор, который сможет работать над анимацией животных и специфических организмов с большим количеством конечностей.

Средства будут направлены на:техническое оснащение (мощный компьютер для программиста, интерактивный дисплей для художников);технологии (оборудования для Motion Capture);звук (ар…

С учетом расходов на аутсорс и поддержку, скорее всего, разработка составила от 30 до 45 млн долларов.

Привлечение актеров Каткофф оценил в 15 млн долларов, еще 5 млн долларов ушло на производство, монтаж и логистику.

Исходя из этого, расходы только на привлечение пользователей составили 65 млн долларов.

Всего, отмечает Михаил, на разработку, раскрутку и поддержку игры у Supercell могло уйти почти 150 млн долларов.

За два года оперирования выручка Squad Busters составила в районе 70-80 млн долларов.

Отчет Electronic Arts (EA) для Комиссии по ценным бумагам и биржам США пролил свет на размер выплат, причитающихся ее руководителям в результате грядущей продажи компании.

The Sims 4Согласно документу, за свой пакет акций и опционов на акции EA Уилсон получит 105,93 млн долларов.

В таком случае глава EA будет претендовать на 12,4 млн долларов.

EA еще в конце сентября подтвердила, что он продолжит возглавлять компанию и после завершения ее продажи.

Напомним, новыми владельцами EA станет консорциум из Суверенного фонда Саудовской Аравии, Silver Lake, Affinity Partners и еще ряда инвесторов.

Южнокорейская студия Shift Up опубликовала финансовый отчет за третий квартал 2025-го, который продлился с июля по сентябрь.

По сравнению с 2024 годом все ее ключевые показатели выросли.

Рассказываем об обстановке в чарте самых кассовых продуктов в Steam на неделе с 4 по 11 ноября.

Речь идет о двух ключевых группах: взрослые геймеры (25-35 лет) с устойчивым доходом и, что важно, молодые геймеры.

Интеграция — это инструмент для роста лояльности, генерации лидов и, как показывают примеры Gucci и Louis Vuitton, полноценный источник дохода от продаж цифровых товаров.

Практика подтверждает, что виртуальные товары могут иметь такую же высокую стоимость, что и физические.

Нативность: органичное вписывание в игровой мир через предметы или миссии — яркий пример, «Пятерочка» в игре «Русы против Ящеров 2».

Успех этой коллаборации подтверждает важный сдвиг: игры окончательно превратились из экспериментальной площадки в полноценный канал с измеримой отдачей.

Kojima Productions partners with Disney+ for an original animated series based on Death Stranding | News-in-BriefShow is coming "exclusively" to Disney's streaming platform in 2027

Krafton has launched a voluntary resignation program as it ramps up its focus on being an "AI-first company".

Last month, ahead of reporting a "record-high cumulative" performance in its Q3 2025 financial report, Subnautica 2 and PUBG publisher Krafton announced it was positioning itself as an "AI-first company."

According to Business Korea, as reported by Automaton, Krafton insists its reorganisation isn't to cut headcount.

"The core purpose is to support members in proactively designing their growth direction and embarking on new challenges both inside and outside the company amid the era of AI transformation," a Krafton spokesperson told Business Korea.

Ubisoft has postponed the release of its H1 2025-26 financial results.

The company did not provide a reason, but it has requested that Euronext suspend share trading and bond trading from tomorrow, November 14.

In a brief press statement, Ubisoft only revealed it would "inform the market of the date on which trading will restart", and would publish the delayed financial report "in the coming days".

While it's unclear why Ubisoft has taken this highly unusual step, and the suspension could be due to a variety of factors, the timing suggests it relates to the earnings release.

Ubisoft's shares have plummeted 95.51% in five years, and are down 49.44% year-on-year.

The Indie Game Awards 2025 nominations have been announced, with the likes of Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 picking up nominations across multiple categories including Game of the Year.

This award, as well as The Mohammad Fahmi Storyteller Award, and the Industry Impact Award, will be announced during the ceremony.

This year's nominations were deliberated by "a broad and diverse panel of indie showcase curators and industry experts."

The Indie Game Awards 2025 takes place on December 18 at 3:30pm PT/6:30pm ET.

The ceremony will be available to stream on Six One Indie's YouTube and Twitch channels, as well as IGN and GameSpot.

But whereas arguments are still raging over the use of AI in the PC and console space, the mobile games industry has been quietly embracing the technology for years now.

Hendrik Klindworth, chairman of InnoGamesThe relative acceptance of AI in the mobile space might be partly because mobile games are aimed at a more casual audience.

"We think it makes sense to use AI tools to just get more great stuff for our players," says Klindworth.

Of course, mobile teams, even for major games, tend to be much smaller than the development staff for the biggest console and PC titles.

So that's why it makes sense to have game teams that are really deep into their games."

Jagex has announced it will remove the Treasure Hunter monetisation mechanic from RuneScape by January 19, 2026.

Last month, the British developer launched a community vote to "decide the future of RuneScape's microtransactions", which included removing the Treasure Hunter daily activity.

Introduced in 2014, Treasure Hunter enabled players to win prizes that granted XP boosts, gameplay-skipping items, and in-game gold.

"The removal of Treasure Hunter is just one part of a wider transformation across Jagex, which is seeing a renewed commitment to delivering deeper value, greater fairness and long-term improvements for players across all our games," said Bellamy.

Roblox has rolled out the next phase of its licensing platform, which launched earlier this year.

This means "any eligible IP holder can now offer their IP for use on Roblox, and any eligible creator can apply to adapt an experience to use it."

Roblox's licensing manager debuted with a select few IP holders, including Sega, Netflix, Lionsgate, and Kodansha.

Roblox is now "inviting all eligible IP holders to participate" in its program.

Since its launch in July, Roblox's licensing platform has seen more than 1,500 license requests from creators to use available IP.

Veteran games journalist Julian Benson has been appointed Editorial Director of PC gaming site Rock Paper Shotgun, owned by GamesIndustry.biz parent IGN Entertainment.

It quickly built a loyal following and remains a key voice in curation and commentary on the PC gaming space.

"It is difficult to express how excited I am to join the team at Rock Paper Shotgun," said Benson.

"Rock Paper Shotgun retains a uniquely powerful voice in PC gaming and is rightly cherished by readers…

While its operating income decreased by 27%, it aligned with Nexon's expectations for the quarter.

Looking at its franchises, Embark Studios' Arc Raiders has become Nexon's "most successful global launch in its history".

Embark's free-to-play shooter The Finals also experienced growth following its season 8 update in September, driving 58% year-on-year revenue growth during the third quarter.

The PC version achieved 72% year-on-year growth during Q3, "driven by positive player reception to a series of content updates."

Lee's comments follow conversations regarding the use of AI voice generation in Arc Raiders, which was criticised in Eurogamer's 2 out of 5 review of the game.

Valve has announced its new wireless VR headset, Steam Frame, will support Android games.

This is because Steam Frame can use the same Android APKs developers already use to port mobile titles to Android-based devices like Meta Quest.

Valve is even launching a Steam Frame developer kit program to support this, stating that while SteamOS differs from Android, it will nonetheless be able to run Android apps on its Arm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon chip without needing translation.

Earlier today, Valve announced three new hardware products: a new Steam Frame VR headset and controllers, a new Steam controller, and a next-gen Steam Machine.

Specific pricing and launch dates have yet to be finalised.

Sega has confirmed its raising the salaries of all its Japanese employees by around 10%, including its starting salaries for new hires.

In a statement, the company said the new pay scales will go live from April 1, 2026, including pay for graduates, who can expect entry-level salaries to start from around ¥330,000 ($2131).

After accusing Rockstar of union busting after the studio reportedly dismissed 30 to 40 employees last Thursday (October 30), The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has issued claims against the developer for unfairly dismissing staff.

Now, claiming Rockstar has "declined" to meet with the union, IWGB believes "these dismissals amount to victimisation and collective dismissal linked to trade union activity."

Accordingly, we have now issued formal legal claims against Rockstar on behalf of the Claimants.

"Our members allege that Rockstar's conduct constitutes trade union victimisation and blacklisting."

Employers like Rockstar would do well to understand that private spaces s…

The makers of Dispatch thought it'd take three years to hit their sales target – but they're 'on track' to hit it in three months.

"I think it'll be really interesting to see who tries to pick this up and follow what we're doing," says Nick Herman, creative director.

"Because I think if you have the wrong type of content or the wrong type of game, it might not work.

"And it's like, yeah, but we look at that game and we think: 'the creative was bad'.

Sony leadership has discussed its expectations of Destiny 2 following its $3.6 million acquisition of Bungie in 2022.

In its latest financial results, the Japanese firm recorded an impairment loss against a portion of Bungie's assets in relation to Destiny 2.

Despite this, Tao did note that Sony's live service game segment accounted "for more than 40% of [its] first-party software revenue."

Following the publication of its Q1 results in August, Tao said Sony expected Marathon to launch "within the fiscal year."

"Our view is that, compared to conventional console life cycles, and looking at the PS4 life cycle, it seems to be getting longer and longer," said Tao.

Well, a big ol’ Yakuza franchise sale, happening now on Steam, might help you finally check out this popular series.

And (almost) all of those games are currently on sale on Steam as part of a big Yakuza franchise sale that ends on October 23.

The other odd duck here is Yakuza 3 Remastered, which isn’t on sale despite being included in the sales event page.

Perhaps Sega made a mistake, and it will be marked down to $11 like most of the other Yakuza games in the sale.

Here are all the games currently on sale as part of the ongoing Yakuza/Like A Dragon sales event:

A major revelation for Pokémon fans is tucked in a corner of Lumiose CityI’m very early in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but I just found something in Lumiose City I had to tell somebody about, or I might explode.

That’s what nearly happened to me, but luckily, I did stumble upon the Lumiose Museum in the northeast corner of the city.

If you’ve played Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you’re gonna want to stop by this place and check out one of this museum’s exhibits.

Arceus players will know that Hisui is the previous name of the Sinnoh region from Diamond and Pearl, and the historical setting of the last Legends game.

So one way or another, history has not forgotten them and what they accomplis…

And while many are excited to hop in and start catching pocket monsters, many fans aren’t happy with Z-A‘s small and boring map, which lacks the environmental variety found in past Pokémon games.

This location first appeared in 2013’s Pokémon X and Y. In those games, Lumiose City was just one of many locations included in the large open world.

However, in Z-A, Lumiose City is essentially the entire playspace, and that’s proving to be a disappointing fact for some players.

However, Z-A’s map isn’t just small, it also lacks visual variety.

At least if you buy the game on Switch, it mostly looks the same as the Switch 2 version.

The massively discounted bundle goes toward supporting charityThe Destiny 2 2025 Charity Bundle is almost too good to pass up.

At the same time, the bundle includes every paid piece of content for the game, including the upcoming Star Wars Renegades expansion, for half the price of a new game.

That’s infected the rest of the loot shooter with changes to the grind, gear, and progression that make the entire game a drag right now.

The Star Wars-themed expansion is teasing some interesting ideas and new modes.

So if nothing else, consider the charity bundle a super cheap ticket to witness the rebirth of Destiny 2.

Space Marine 2 will let you play multiplayer as much as you want for a limited timeWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is getting a free demo for anyone who hasn’t already played one of the best shooters of 2025.

The free demo will be available from October 16-20 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and until October 23 on PC via Steam.

Space Marine 2 is a sequel to the cult-favorite Xbox 360-era third-person shooter that delivers an old-school emphasis on meat and potatoes gunplay but with the impressive visuals of a modern blockbuster.

If you choose to take the plunge, Space Marine 2 is currently half-off on console ($35) and 55 percent off on PC ($30).

Not only is it still, allegedly, developing a Star Wars game, but the studio known for single-player story-focused games is now also working on a competitive multiplayer game called Spellcasters.

Quantic Dream has had quite the odd last few years, perhaps driving its desire for radical change.

Then, for one final surreal twist, Quantic Dream won part of this case but without ever disproving the allegations.

What I found with the games business specifically is that it is one of the most relationship based businesses I’ve ever seen.

They know the style of work we do, they know the quality of work we provide.

What has changed has been amping up our business development over the last year because of the pendulum swings in the games industry.

I think in terms of business development, nothing beats a face-to-face start.

XDS is fundamental for us as a business, even if we’re not doing straight business development, just connecting with our clients is the most important thing.

What do you think are the biggest external development trends that are being discussed today?

One of the most challenging things that we have is that external development is not just important to the games industry … it’s non-negotiable.

I was in my 30s before I even knew external development existed as a job.

We’ve had tens of thousands of people, either leave the games industry temporarily, or permanently as they seek employment elsewhere.

When it comes to external development, many of the people affected are people that are really good at this discipline.

During the State of Play Japan broadcast that aired a few hours ago, Sony announced a 27-inch PlayStation Gaming Monitor that will launch next year in the United States and Japan.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) support with Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which automatically adjusts HDR settings during setup on PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles, ensuring a rich and vivid picture quality.

The PlayStation Gaming Monitor is equipped with two 2.1 HDMI IN ports and one 1.4 DisplayPort IN port for compatibility with PlayStation 5, PC, Mac, or other devices.

Spec-wise, the PlayStation Gaming Monitor is undoubtedly a step down from Sony's Inzone M10S OLED and M9 II monitors released last year.

During the aforementioned St…

Also, just like the Japan-only variant of the Switch 2, it's slightly cheaper than getting the standard version.

From that angle, it makes perfect sense to try persuading anyone who hasn't bought in on the PS5 yet in Japan with a new, cheaper version they can run out and buy.

Currently, a standard digital PS5 in Japan costs ¥72,980 ($475), though this new regional variant will drop the price to ¥55,000 ($355), which is more than a solid discount.

But that's still more expensive than what the price of the console when it launched in 2020, which was ¥39,980 ($260).

It'll be interesting to see if Sony brings this same tactic to the PS5 Pro, to extend the reach of its higher-end model.

Arc System Works was one of the studios we predicted would appear at the State of Play Japan, specifically with a release date for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

That said, there is a new closed beta lined up before the end of the year.

The new closed beta will run from December 5-7, and adds Spider-Man and Ghost Rider to the roster of playable characters to try out in the beta.

If you didn't register for the first closed beta but want to try your luck this time, then you can register at this link.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is due to launch on PC and PS5 sometime in 2026.

Just as the community was bemoaning the lack of post-launch support, Elden Ring Nightreign developer FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco announced at the State of Play Japan that new DLC is coming to Elden Ring Nightreign, and it'll arrive before the end of the year.

The new expansion, The Forsaken Hollows, will arrive on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S this coming December 4, 2025.

The DLC will be available for $15 USD, though if you purchased the Deluxe Edition of Nightreign, then you'll just get the DLC added to your library when it arrives on December 4, 2025.

Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long to learn more about the DLC.

As one of the big announcements to kick off the State of Play Japan event, Koei Tecmo announced that Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake, a remake of the classic entry into the Fatal Frame franchise, will arrive on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 this coming March 12, 2026.

A new trailer for the remake was showcased during the live stream event, which concluded with a reveal of the game's release date.

It's the latest re-release in the Fatal Frame series after the remaster for Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.

As announced in late October, Bethesda released Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition yesterday for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X, as a way to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the original launch.

However, just like with Skyrim Anniversary Edition four years ago, this new edition breaks many essential mods that users had based their modlists around.

And just like with Skyrim Anniversary Edition, modders have quickly come up with a method to revert Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition to the previous version of the game (v1.10.984), thus preventing the breaking of your precious mods.

At this point, it's time to disable automatic updates for Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition.…

AMD has confirmed its next-gen client CPU & GPU families, Gorgon in 2026, Medusa in 2027, and next-gen gaming products.

AMD's Gorgon Point CPUs will be launching in 2026, and are an interesting product in the regard that they are essentially a refresh of existing "Strix/Krackan" processors.

This lineup will be replaced by the true next-gen offering, codenamed Medusa Point.

The Medusa CPU line is expected to feature next-gen Zen 6 cores along with new GPU and XDNA IPs.

NetEase is set to debut the fifth season of Marvel Rivals this coming Friday, November 14, 2025, and ahead of that launch, it released a new cinematic trailer showcasing the two new roster additions for Season 5, Gambit and Rogue.

Also, as usual, NetEase released a Dev Vision video, which delved deeper into the changes coming in Season 5, including the introduction of a new Conquest mode.

Season 5 also adds a new map set in New York's Times Square, but unlike other maps in Marvel Rivals, it is a non-combat map dedicated to letting players socialize and do whatever they like instead of always jumping into competitive modes.

Speaking of those competitive modes, the other introduction in this …

Next year, AMD will launch its Instinct MI400 series AI accelerators.

In addition to the compute capability, AMD is also going to leverage HBM4 memory for its Instinct MI400 series.

In 2027, AMD will be introducing its next-gen Instinct MI500 series AI accelerators.

Nonetheless, it is an incontrovertible fact that MediaTek's Dimensity chips have become substantially more competitive since 2023.

Samsung remains a stickler for efficiency coresSamsung unveiled its Exynos 2500 chip in June 2025, while MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9500 in September 2025.

Samsung's Exynos 2500 not only wastes precious CPU resources by employing underpowered efficiency cores, but also experiences low yields and thermal stability issues.

Just imagine how much better the Exynos 2600 would have performed if Samsung engineers had abandoned their proclivity for efficiency cores.

ARC Raiders is, at the time of this writing, one of the most popular games in the video game industry.

Game developers, players, YouTubers, and now, even Epic Games' chief executive officer, Tim Sweeney, have joined the conversation to give their two cents.

Responding to a user asking him if it is political or not to dislike and critique GenAI within the context of a game review, Sweeney writes, "Yes.

The private code list reveals that the Snapdragon X Elite will be found in upcoming Android PCs, making it an entire generation behind the competitionEvidence of the Snapdragon X Elite being tested for Android PCs was posted on X by @Jukanlosreve, who shows an image of Android 16’s private code list.

The Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus were a massive deal when they first launched.

Of course, Qualcomm won’t be stuck on these chipsets forever, which is why it introduced the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme and Snapdragon X2 Elite earlier this year.

As for using only the Snapdragon X Elite, perhaps we are mistaken.

Maybe in the future, Qualcomm will upload code for its newer Snapdragon X2 …

And now the internal shame feel of having this gross misconduct with you forever, it's hard to explain.

It's the reinstatement of all 31 workers in the UK who've been fired and the three workers in Toronto.

These are workers who just want to go back to work, to work on a game that they love.

Enshrouded - Wake of the Water | Official Update Trailer - YouTube Watch OnIt's a great time to dive back into co-op survival RPG Enshrouded.

That's because the world finally has a feature players have been asking for since it first arrived in early access nearly two years ago: water.

The Wake of the Water update arrived this week, bringing a new high-level biome to the already massive Embervale map.

There's a lot more in the update than just water, like a new level cap and more powerful versions of all weapon types.

Adam Badowski, joint CEO of CD Projekt Red, doesn't look back fondly on the collectible-card romance options in The Witcher 1.

As soon as someone suggested the idea of making players choose between Triss and Yennefer, they realized this was what had been missing.

"This decision was made pretty late," he says, "but it was great.

Romance in RPGs is a hot-button topic, with developers avoiding it for years out of fear players would react badly.

And on the important question of whether he chose Yennefer or Triss, Badowski came down on the side of book readers everywhere: "My choice will always be Yennefer."

Deep Rock Galactic developer Ghost Ship Games is hard at work on its next game, Rogue Core, which is coming out next year.

"When we started out making Deep Rock Galactic, I think there were a handful of successful co-op focused games on Steam.

We definitely feel that there are some really, really good co-op games out there right now.

"We have no plans to try to change up what Deep Rock Galactic is in response to the changing landscape," he said.

Deep Rock is Deep Rock, and the point is to keep it Deep Rock.

But then there's another type of base architect, the type who builds a trap base just to lure you in… then kill you.

Or you could be a third, secret type of diabolical mastermind like ZChum, who crafted an incredible multi-level "Blood Club" and lured his entire server inside with promises of a wild dance party and musical performances from BBNO$ and MrWobbles.

ZChum built what is apparently his second Blood Club with the help of fellow streamers like Kayli to finish the painstaking process of gathering and crafting all the materials for his murder tower.

Alien: Earth, the FX prequel series about an alien from Alien (plus a bunch more different kinds of aliens) crash-landing on terra firma, has been picked up for a second season, per Variety.

Alien: Earth was pretty silly, but I liked the anything goes approach of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what slithers.

Alien: Earth was also hampered by the fact that it's a prequel.

So, it's good that the show will continue and hopefully it's got enough gas for a fun second season.

And when the second season ends, let's try to actually write a proper ending for it this time, eh?

Of the three hardware announcements Valve made yesterday, the Steam Controller is probably the least exciting at face value.

It looks a whole lot like the original Steam controller, which hardly set the world ablaze.

Valve’s infiltration of console orthodoxy with the Steam Deck was so much more subtle than just: Cyberpunk 2077 on the bus and you can tweak the graphics.

It’s not just about, for example, precision in first-person shooters, which is how I remember a lot of people justifying the touchpads on the original Steam Controller.

The Outer Worlds 2's main menu is the epitome of "Oh hey, that's neat!"

For the third time this year, Tomb Raider studio Crystal Dynamics has laid off employees: The company announced today that it's making a "difficult but necessary" reorganization of its studios and team, and that as a result nearly 30 people will be put out of work.

One of Russia's first humanoid AI robots was unveiled on-stage in Moscow on Tuesday this week—and after shuffling on-stage to that Soviet-era classic, the Rocky theme tune, it almost immediately faceplanted.

The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain says more than 200 workers at the company have signed a letter to senior management demanding the reinstatement of their fired colleagues.

The employees, working at Rockstar offices in the UK and Canada, were fired abruptly at the end of October.

As World of Warcraft's next expansion nears release, players are preparing for the first time in the MMO's history where combat mods, or addons, won't offer much help.

The most popular ones simply won't work when Midnight arrives as part of Blizzard's plan to level the playing field for all players.

Some addon developers have called it quits, while others have expressed concerns over Blizzard's new rules.

Going forward, "addons should no longer offer a competitive advantage in WoW combat," Hazzikostas says.

He describes the skepticism over whether it can pull it off as "fair" and says that he doesn't "expect blind faith in the absence of results."

Nearly each tweet begins with some variation of "Hi Sandy, hope you're doing well" before nuking the original statement from orbit.

It turns out that "John Romero's about to hope you're doing well" is more intimidating than Daikatana ever could be.

I like strategy games, but they start to lose me as they grow increasingly complex to the point of near-impenetrability.

The only series in the style that's truly won my heart is Age of Wonders, the fourth of which you can try for free this weekend until Monday, Nov. 17.

If you're not familiar, Age of Wonders marries the deep strategy of 4X to turn-based tactical RPG gameplay.

This free weekend roughly coincides with the launch of a new vampire-themed DLC, as well as a sale where you can nab the game for $25 on Steam, 50% off the regular price.

The free period just seems to include the base game, but there's plenty to dive into without any expansions.
