Скольких человек они затронули, неизвестно.

Но сначала постановщик займётся третьей «Дюной».

Курьеры, за работу. И берегитесь спойлеров — они заполонили соцсети и YouTube.

Режиссёром и сценаристом выступит Аарон Соркин.

Она будет только на Series X и двух консолях Sony.

Компания заплатит за нарушение ещё 126 миллионов долларов.

Apple планирует провести редизайн своих флагманских смартфонов.

Компания не отказывается от него.

Релиза игры придётся подождать ещё несколько лет.

В последние годы в день релиза в PS Plus выходили игры сторонних студий, такие как FBC: Firebreak, The Plucky Squire, Dave the Diver, Animal Well, Tales of Kenzera: Zau и Stray.

Глава студии также рассказал, что на подход к её развитию повлияли туалеты из Hitman: Absolution.

На консолях появится поддержка 60 fps, а на ПК — «очень высокие» настройки графики.

Сооснователь Wildcard Джереми Стиглиц (Jeremy Stieglitz) вспоминает, что пару лет назад команда собрала «классный вертикальный срез» — играбельный прототип с базовыми механиками.

Стиглиц признаёт, что игр с таким сочетанием довольно мало, поэтому задача трудная.

Команда не отказалась ни от одного ранее обещанного элемента: динамических событий, паркура, вида от третьего лица и масштабных систем выживания.

По оценке Стиглица , если всех сотрудников студии перевести на ARK 2, запуск раннего доступа займёт полтора года.

В ARK 2 появятся враждебные NPC — это обещали в трейлерах.

Кооперативный симулятор альпиниста PEAK стал одним из главных инди-хитов 2025-го — за неполную неделю он разошёлся тиражом миллион копий.

В беседе с журналом PC Gamer разработчики из студий Aggro Crab и Landfall рассказали, как родился их совместный проект и как он повлиял на будущее команд.

Однако нельзя сказать, что за это время симулятор прошёл путь от задумки до релиза, — несколько месяцев коллективы трудились над его концепцией.

Специалист по маркетингу компании Пэйдж Уилсон (Paige Wilson) поведала, что в ходе производства компактной PEAK авторы набрались сил и взяли курс на создание игр поменьше.

Малыши вроде PEAK приносят команде больше удовольствия, чем крупные игры — например, Tota…

«Проект просто крутился по кругу, пока не умер»Экс-глава IT-отдела Hypixel под ником DevSlashNull не стал подбирать слова в серии постов в X. Он обвинил новое руководство студии в том, что оно изначально относилось к оригинальной команде с недоверием — и в результате загнало проект в тупик.

Сообщество должно злиться не на Riot, а на управленческий хаос, который лишил Hytale шанса на успех.

DevSlashNullRiot тут ни при чём, уверяет разработчикВ следующем сообщении DevSlashNull отдельно подчеркнул, что у него остались хорошие впечатления от сотрудничества с Riot.

По его словам, в корпорации «понимали важность доверия и автономии» и не вмешивались в процесс — все проблемы были внутри самой Hypi…

Под конец 2024 года студия Team Jade выпустила на ПК (Steam, Epic Games Store) новый сетевой шутер по франшизе Delta Force.

С тех пор геймеры ждут контентных обновлений и релиза консольных версий, который, по всей видимости, состоится уже совсем скоро.

На официальной страничке Delta Force в экс-твиттере разработчики опубликовали два примечательных сообщения, которые состоят из символов с раскладкой кнопок геймпадов PlayStation и Xbox.

Пока это единственный намёк, а сроков релиза консольных версий по-прежнему нет.

Вероятно, игра поселится на PlayStation и Xbox до конца лета, а точную дату объявят на одной из оставшихся презентаций.

Мы серьёзно прокачали стелс и заметно развили экшен-составляющую — и в технологиях, и в механиках.

В Hitman были live-испытания, и всё, что мы умеем, мы теперь можем дополнить более динамичными и насыщенными экшен-элементами в игре про агента 007.

После полноценной демонстрации геймплея Borderlands 4 игроки задались вопросом — стоит ли ожидать полноценный фоторежим, как в предыдущей части?

Он подтвердил, что студия трудится над фоторежимом, однако появится он только после релиза игры в соответствующем обновлении.

По словам Тимминса , фоторежим для Borderlands 4 планировался с самого начала, однако на данном этапе разработчики решили сконцентрироваться на более важных аспектах вроде полировки геймплейных систем и оптимизации.

Вместе с тем он добавил, что в игре не предвидится функции автоматической продажи собранного лута.

Студия 1047 Games продолжает развивать Splitgate 2 — уже 3 июля в шутере стартует «Сезон 1, Глава 2».

Обновление принесёт с собой долгожданный рейтинговый режим, а также систему мастер-камуфляжей на манер Call of Duty.

Напомним, недавно в 1047 Games прошла волна увольнений, а сооснователи студии Иан Пру (Ian Proulx) и Ник Багамиан (Nick Bagamian) временно отказались от зарплат.

Ожидать обновления портального шутера можно для ПК (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store), Xbox и PlayStation.

В Splitgate 2 есть текстовый перевод на русский язык.

Уникальное подземелье в духе Terraria, в котором игроки могут сразиться с новыми врагами и добыть ресурсы для крафта снаряжения из мира «Террарии».

Шесть новых видов оружия и семь новых элементов брони прямиком из Terraria.

Три новых типа островов — тропический остров, остров-айсберг и остров кораблекрушения.

На каждом из этих островов обитают новые палы.

Механика доверия палов — чем больше времени вы проводите со своими палами, тем больше они доверяют вам и тем выше их характеристики.

На последнем собрании акционеров Square Enix представители компании прокомментировали успех Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 и затронули судьбу классических ролевых игр с пошаговыми боями.

По словам президента Такаси Кирю (Takashi Kiryu), издательство внимательно следит за реакцией на проекты вроде Expedition 33 и по-прежнему рассматривает жанр пошаговых RPG как важную часть своего наследия.

Хотя разработчики Final Fantasy XVI выбрали более динамичную, ориентированную на экшен боевую механику, в Square Enix отметили, что пошаговая «боёвка» остаётся для них значимой.

Пока компания не даёт конкретных обещаний о возвращении к пошаговому формату в будущих Final Fantasy или Dragon Quest.

Ранее в Xbox Game Studios и Ninja Theory пообещали выпустить Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II на PlayStation 5 летом, а теперь определились с итоговой датой релиза.

Тогда же выйдет обновление с улучшениями для всех платформ, где доступна Hellblade II.

Как рассказали девелоперы, можно рассчитывать не только на улучшения графики и геймплея, но и на другие изменения.

Режим производительности с 60 fps на консолях, «очень высокий» пресет графики на ПК и оптимизация для Steam Deck.

Последний, среди прочего, содержит Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, оптимизированную для PS5.

Сегодня свет увидел уже пятый большой апдейт для игры, в котором улучшили систему A-Life, добавили новое оружие, ликвидировали ошибки и так далее.

Главное из патчноута (обо всех изменениях можно почитать здесь):Улучшение системы A-Life: теперь жизнь симулируется для всех персонажей Зоны, а не только для тех, что находятся в пределах видимости игрока.

Увеличен размер окна схрона игрока, а во вкладке улучшений стали показывать свободные слоты для артефактов у брони.

Улучшили производительность, выловили ошибки в квестах, а также подлатали поведение ИИ в мире и во время битв.

Внесли правки в баланс, например, у ключевых для миссий героев больше не будет слишком сильных предметов в инвентаре.

Необходимо как можно быстрее найти и очистить реликвии, пропитанные кровью Астарота, пока до них не добрались демоны.

Смельчаки, которые не побоятся углубиться в позабытые тайны, получат несказанную силу — хорадримские чары.

Игроки научатся отпирать хорадримские хранилища, которые скрыты в глубинах кошмарных подземелий, — именно там древние хорадримы спрятали напитанные кровью реликвии.

А потом реликвии снова будут запечатаны — и на сей раз уже навсегда.

Трансляция с демонстрацией особенностей и изменений в сезоне «Грехи хорадримов» состоится 27 июня в 21:00 по Москве на Twitch, YouTube, в X и в TikTok.

Появилась возможность просматривать трансляции с пяти камер одновременно.

В частности, максимальное число снимков в расследовании снижено с десяти до пяти, а следующие виды фото перемещены в раздел видео:переключение света,движение дверей,броски предметов,взаимодействие призрака с вещами.

Джек Блэк вернётся к роли офицера Дика в грядущем ремастере Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, релиз которого состоится 11 июля.

Персонаж появится на нескольких уровнях и будет создавать хаос, как и в предыдущих играх.

По словам геймдиректора Курта Тилманса, разработчики хотели по-своему переосмыслить офицера Дика, показав его «кризис среднего возраста».

В Tony Hawkʼs Pro Skater 3 + 4 он эволюционировал из надзирателя на школьном дворе в начальника охраны кампуса колледжа.

Разработчики рады, что Джек Блэк с энтузиазмом принял участие в проекте.

Team Fortress 2's Mann vs Machine mode will soon receive a "much-needed update", developers Valve have announced in a whimsical blog post.

Remember when Valve could still approximately portray themselves as a bunch of scrappy-doogle weirdos.

Remember when Valve were still more game developer than businessfolk.

It's not clear what the update does, but the community appear set to play a starring role.

A bloggening like this must be answered in kind, so let's all take a Tardis to 2012, when Craig Pearson (RPS in peace) sampled Mann vs Machine for the first time.

Yesterday’s launch of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 laptop GPU was quiet, yet nonetheless featured a surprise: there’s also a desktop version of the RTX 5050, set to release (exclusively in third-party garb – there’s no Founders Edition) in "the second half" of July.

Quite the turnaround for the non-laptop XX50 lineage, which was widely assumed extinguished following 2022’s RTX 3050.

The RTX 5050 will replace the RTX 5060 as the cheapest of Nvidia's current-gen desktop GPUs, starting at $249.

There’s obviously no desktop RTX 4050 to compare these specs to, though next to the RTX 3050, it does offer more memory bandwidth even if the total gigabyte count remains the same.

Presumably there are a…

2: Heart of Chornobyl has a sizeable game update that promises to finally get the game's A-Life system working as intended.

- Life in the Zone is now simulated for all characters, not just those in the player's view.

- Characters continue to live their lives and pursue their goals in the Zone until they meet their end.

- Players may encounter more A-Life characters resting or interacting in various locations, adding to the world's immersion.

- A-Life Director will no longer respawn characters at the edge of visualization.

Elden Ring Nightreign’s next Enhanced boss is Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow, developers From Software have confirmed.

I'm sure Supermassive are going to do a perfectly respectable job with horror puzzler Little Nightmares 3.

Nonetheless, Little Nightmares 3 is out on October 10th.

Also on the same date is an enhanced edition of the original Little Nightmares (RTX, 60 FPS, 4K).

In the most galaxy brained bit of publisher grasping I've encountered in some time, the actual game is fully playable right now, but only if you pre-order Little Nightmares 3.

Oh, and official modding tools are here too, but you'll need to clear some considerable space to install them.

Stalker 2's version of A-Life was supposed to take things even further, but like much of the game at launch, was pretty broken.

Some initial fixes arrived shortly after release, but it's only now, some seven months later, the system is finally working as intended.

That's alongside the release of official modding tools for Stalker 2, which are currently available via the Epic Games Store.

Interested parties might want to brace themselves, however; you'll need somewhere in the region of 700GB harddrive space to install them.

Sony is sticking to its guns, and won't be releasing its first party games day one on its PlayStation Plus subscription service.

Sony, meanwhile, has added some third party games like the excellent Blue Prince and Stray to PS Plus on the same day as their initial launch.

This month, Remedy's multiplayer Control spin-off FBC: Firebreak was available to all those on PlayStation Plus' Extra and Premium tiers day one.

Square Enix's Foamstars, for example, failed to set the world alight despite being part of the PS Plus catalogue.

Palworld: Tides of Terraria is out now, an expansion blending the third-person survival game and the popular sandbox.

Tides of Terraria adds fishing, salvaging, three new islands, missions, and the Pal Trust system to Palworld, the latter allowing you to build bonds with your gaggle of cute comrades.

There's also an overhauled enemy base system, allowing foes you find out in the wilds to construct their own fortifications much like you do.

As for right now, this Terraria crossover could very well lead to a new wave of interested players.

After all, Terraria is no slouch itself, selling more than 35m copies as of 2021.

The Enhanced edition of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 now has a release date across PS5 and existing platforms.

Those who bought Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice on PS4 on its original release will be able to upgrade to the PS5 version for free.

The Nintendo Museum in Japan is set to receive an art gallery extension.

The art gallery will allow visitors to "explore a wide range of game artwork, including character illustrations and concept art".

It's set to open on 3rd September at the Nintendo Museum near Kyoto, which is built on the site of the company's former hanafuda manufacturing plant that opened in 1969.

The art gallery is an intriguing prospect, which will no doubt have fans speculating as to what kind of never-before-seen artwork may be included.

The Art Gallery will open on Wednesday, September 3rd on the 2nd floor of the Nintendo Museum Exhibition Building.

Players are already impressed by the incredibly fast loading times in Death Stranding 2, which only proves the power of the PS5 console, as well as Guerrilla Games' Decima game engine used by Kojima Productions.

One player posted a video to reddit, stating "Death Stranding 2 has the fastest loading time I've ever seen in a video game".

Yet Kojima Productions has clearly worked some magic with Death Stranding 2 - its load times really are astonishing.

In short, Death Stranding 2 is an exceptional technical achievement that truly shows the power of Sony's PS5 consoles, as well as the Decima game engine.

Rematch - Sifu developer Sloclap's newly launched football action title - has dribbled and passed its way to an impressive player and sales milestone, less than one week since the game's debut.

He does wish, however, that fellow Rematch players learn one important thing: passing the ball.

There's some bad-ish news if you've been eagerly awaiting developer Nightdive's System Shock 2 remaster on consoles.

However, the studio has now announced a short delay for the console versions in a statement on social media, saying it has "encountered issues that have prevented us from launching System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster on consoles... on 26th June as originally intended."

"We'll update everyone as soon as we have a set launch date for consoles," Nightdive's statement concludes.

So to recap: Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition is out now for those that pre-order Little Nightmares 3, otherwise both games launch on 10th October.

As to what original Little Nightmares developer Tarsier Studios is up to now, having walked away from the series after part 2, that'll be Reanimal.

Такую сумму назвал аналитический сервис AppMagic.

Важно: миллиард долларов — это общие траты мобильных игроков до того, как SuperPlay уплатила комиссии сторов и налоги.

Если их вычесть, сумма уменьшится до 601,6 млн долларов чистой IAP-выручки.

16 июня в портфолио шведской студии Landfall Games появился еще один кооперативный хит — симулятор скалолазания Peak, в котором большой акцент сделан на комедийности геймплейных ситуаций.

Всего за сутки Peak купили 100 тысяч раз, а за первую неделю продажи превысили миллион копий.

Напомним, Steam ранжирует игры не по количеству проданных копий, а именно по валовой выручке.

В США Peak продавалась за 4,95 доллара, а в России и вовсе за 222 рубля.

Если говорить о доходах, VG Insights оценивает валовую выручку Peak в Steam в более чем 5 млн долларов.

В прошлом году аналитическая компания Newzoo несколько раз публиковала прогнозы выручки игрового рынка на 2024 год.

▫️По имеющимся сейчас у Newzoo данным, в 2024 году глобальный рынок видеоигр заработал 182,7 млрд долларов (+3,2% относительно 2023-го).

Изначально компания прогнозировала выручку в 189,3 млрд долларов, а позже — в 187,7 долларов.

Далее шли консольные игры (43,5 млрд долларов, -2,5%) и ПК-игры (39 млрд долларов, +4,4%).

▫️Newzoo ожидает, что в 2025 году выручка рынка достигнет 188,9 млрд долларов, в 2026 году — 196,2 млрд долларов, а в 2027 году — 201,4 млрд долларов.

В будущем он заменит библиотеку Godot Asset Library.

Сейчас Godot Asset Store находится на раннем этапе разработки, поэтому его возможности ограничены.

В дорожной карте Godot Asset Store разработчики указали, что платные ассеты обязательно появятся, но позже — на данный момент в приоритете перенос материалов из Godot Asset Library.

Со временем Godot Asset Store обзаведется поддержкой Drag-and-Drop-установки ассетов, когда пользователь может просто перетащить ассет из браузера в редактор движка, аналитикой продаж, рейтинговой системой и многими другими опциями.

Дата полноценного релиза Godot Asset Store пока не раскрывается.

9 KingsПредыдущие вехи 9 Kings:100 тысяч копий — за два дня продаж;250 тысяч копий — за неделю продаж.

В частности, они намерены в ближайшее время переработать мета-прогрессию, а до конца года добавить новый режим.

Отправить 9 Kings в полноценный релиз пока планируется в течение 2026-го, но дата может измениться.

Согласно официальным данным, 9 Kings — уже одна из самых продаваемых игр в портфолио как Sad Socket, так и Hooded Horse.

Если в начале месяца он достигал 13,9 тысяч человек, то сейчас составляет в среднем 3,5 тысячи человек.

Корпорация Apple, как и обещала, подала апелляцию на решение американского суда в разбирательстве с Epic Games.

Она потребовала не только отменить наложенные в мае запреты, но и передать дело другому судье, если оно снова будет рассматриваться в окружном суде Калифорнии.

Напомним, ей в числе прочего запретили брать комиссию с покупок вне App Store и мешать пользователям переходить из приложений на сторонние площадки.

В апелляции Apple указала, что ее действия не нарушали законы, а новые запреты вышли далеко за рамки первоначального решения суда в 2021 году.

Стоит отметить, что в мае Гонзалес Роджерс обвинила Apple в неуважении к суду.

Футбольный экшен Rematch от авторов Sifu стремительно наращивает аудиторию.

Студия Sloclap и издатель Kepler Interactive объявили, что количество уникальных игроков в тайтле с учетом подписчиков Game Pass достигло отметки в 3 млн человек.

RematchТакже сообщается, что непосредственно продажи Rematch составили более миллиона копий.

Rematch преодолела оба рубежа через пять дней после релиза.

Сыграть в футбольный экшен можно на ПК, PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series.

На неделе с 17 по 24 июня самым кассовым проектом в Steam среди платных игр стал мультиплеерный футбольный экшен Rematch.

Среди других новинок хорошо показала себя российская Broken Arrow — в общем зачете у нее 11 место, а в платном топе восьмое.

В общем чарте Steam у нее 12 место, в платном чарте — десятое.

Она используется для создания геймплейных видео, в которых перемещение объектов контролируют зрители.

Судя по продемонстрированным Tencent кадрам, Hunyuan-GameCraft способна по текстовому запросу сгенерировать игровую сцену с видом как от первого, так и от третьего лица.

Кроме того, применять Hunyuan-GameCraft можно для генерации не только геймплейных видео, но и «реалистичных» роликов широкого профиля вроде сцен природы с возможностью управления камерой.

Модель обучена на миллионе записей геймплея из более чем 100 AAA-игр вроде Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption и Assassin’s Creed.

К ним, вероятно, относятся Veo 3 от Google и WHAMM от Microsoft.

Корпорация Apple надеется избежать нового штрафа в Евросоюзе из-за антиконкурентной политики App Store, сообщают источники Financial Times.

Источники издания отметили, что на переговорах всплывала тема сбора Core Technology Fee, взимаемого с каждой загрузки приложения на iOS вне App Store.

Но будет ли Apple его как-либо менять — они не сказали.

Ранее Еврокомиссия постановила, что политика App Store нарушает региональный закон о цифровых рынках.

В результате чего в апреле Apple оштрафовали на 500 млн евро.

Польская группа компаний CD PROJEKT в этом году потратит на выплату дивидендов 99,9 млн злотых (27,1 млн долларов).

Frontier Developments has announced it is removing use of generative AI in Jurassic World Evolution 3 following pushback and criticism.

In a response to a thread on its Steam page, the developer said that following feedback it had "opted to remove the use of generative AI for scientist portraits" within the game.

Microsoft is reportedly planning a "major" round of layoffs at Xbox next week, according to a new report.

This would follow a recent round of Microsoft layoffs in May 2025, where 3% of the company's headcount was targeted.

A smaller round of layoffs came before that in January 2025.

During its recent Q3 2025 results, Microsoft shared that its gaming segment increased revenue 5% year-on-year.

GamesIndustry.biz has also reached out to Xbox for comment on the claims in the report, and we'll update this story if any clarification is shared by the company.

The new update fixes an annoying issue bugging players for a bit now, but it also slaps two big ads on the home screen for Xbox’s newest consoles.

To their surprise, Xbox has updated the nearly 20-year-old Xbox 360 to fix an issue with game thumbnails and box art stretching out and looking weird.

AdvertisementI booted up my Xbox 360 to confirm that yes, the dashboard has been slightly updated.

And I can also confirm that it now sports two different ads for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles on the home dashboard.

Neither ad even says “Xbox Series X/S” or lists a price or anything.

In the history of feuds, “DC Studios fans vs. Marvel Studios fans” ranks above “Red Sox fans vs. Yankees fans” and slightly below “people who like pineapple on their pizzas vs. people with normal taste buds.” Yet, behind the unanswerable debates over which brand of superheroes would reign supreme are simply comic-book and movie fans who want to see epic battles.

That’s exactly why, during a Q&A session at FAN EXPO Dallas 2025, Peacemaker himself, John Cena, proposed an interesting way he could find himself in the MCU.

Ironheart creator Chinaka Hodge assuaged any fears newcomers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have by letting the world know you don’t need to watch any of the previous Marvel movies to enjoy Ironheart.

She also finds a quirky yet brilliant sidekick to sheepishly help her optimize her Ironheart suit, with an interesting twist.

And he has a Ziploc bag full of the ashes of Obadiah Stane—his father!

In the show, Ezekiel says he is 36 years old, which would make him roughly 17 when his father was killed by Iron Man.

Either way, Ironheart adds a cool expansion to the MCU history books—without making that the central appeal of an already great show.

In the gameplay reveal trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn, a mysterious voice warned the Traveler to “Stay focused, stay cautious”.

That’s because, in addition to careful resource management, you also have to deal with enemies that can merge with each other during battle.

This radically alters the dynamic of every encounter, with each Merge exponentially increasing its difficulty in real-time.

That concludes our quick overview of how to approach combat in Cronos: The New Dawn.

Through incorporating the Merge as a central combat mechanic, we aim to ensure that every encounter in the game feels both memorable and unpredictable.

These planned firings have been an ongoing story for Intel, having already cut 5% of its workforce back in 2024.

According to CRN, last Wednesday Intel provided the notice required by Californian law alerting employees to their imminent doom.

They also reiterated the 20% figure we've heard before about how many employees Intel is planning to layoff.

CRN provide a list of these jobs, which include "22 physical design engineers, three physical design engineering managers, three system-on-chip logic design engineers, three product development engineers, four design-for-test design engineers, six cloud software architects, four cloud software engineering managers and two cloud software developm…

Case lighting has come a long way since those dark ages, and that includes fans with Corsair bringing out its new RS-R Series fans that are built differently with lighting needs in mind.

The new RS-R Series fans are touted as being a great solution for both aesthetic lighting and functional cooling.

Corsair boasts the RS-Rs will feature reverse rotors to create unobstructed lighting.

These also aren't the first fans from Corsair to sport the reverse rotor advantage, but they are much cheaper than what was on offer before.

The new RS-Rs case fans come in packs of three, in both black and white frame colours to help match your case aesthetics.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow Reveal Trailer - YouTube Watch OnYou'd think a genre with the word "immersive" in its name would obviously be a good match for virtual reality, but there haven't been that many VR immersive sims.

"VR is a natural fit for an immersive sim because it allows players to physically engage with the world around them", says Eugenio Aguilar Oriani, lead publishing producer at Vertigo Games.

"In Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, classic elements from the series—like stealth-based gameplay, exploration, and the thrill of thieving—come to life through physical actions.

"You begin Thief VR as an ordinary street thief," Harding says, "raw and unproven.

The lawsuit claims Sony's monopoly and control over pricing on its proprietary store has cost Dutch PlayStation gamers 435 million euros since 2013.

Since then the case has grown into a class action lawsuit with at least 1.7 million PlayStation owners potentially seeking compensation.

For console gamers, having prices tied to a game store owned by the manufacturer isn't exactly news.

“Sony is the only provider of digital content on the most popular game console in the world.

It will have to add itself to other similar cases like the other class action lawsuit sony is facing in the UK.

It was 2015—10 years ago—that we called Nuclear Throne "a crowning achievement for Vlambeer, and one of the finest action-roguelikes ever made" in our 90% review.

And now, in 2025, eight years after its last update, Nuclear Throne has suddenly sprung back to life.

"Good news for (future) Nuclear Throne fans: there's an updated beta build on Steam with many quality of life improvements like 120fps support, different aspect ratios, and a new controls menu!"

The US Federal Trade Commission has issued a new wave of refunds totalling $126 million to Fortnite players who were charged for unintentional purposes, and reopened the claims process to allow people who missed it the first time around another chance to get their money back.

$275 million of that amount was a penalty for violating COPPA, while the remaining $245 million was earmarked for refunds to consumers who made those unwanted purchases.

The first wave of refunds went out in December 2024, to the tune of $72 million issued over more than 629,000 payments.

This second round is even bigger: More than $126 million in total, in 969,173 payments being sent out over June 25 and 26.

Many of those players weren't as enthused, however, when they visited Jurassic World 3's Steam page to find an AI generated content disclosure statement.

(Image credit: Frontier Developments)Within hours, Steam users started criticizing the inclusion of AI-generated art assets on the game's discussion forum.

(Image credit: Steam user Birdskull)Another now-locked thread called the AI portraits part of a "trifecta of 'Nope'" alongside pre-purchase bonuses and Denuvo DRM.

"We have opted to remove the use of generative AI for scientist portraits within Jurassic World Evolution 3."

Jurassic World Evolution 3 launches on October 21.

It's cool that GSC is putting the effort in to kickstarter the Stalker 2 modding scene, but what I really enjoy here is the work Silantev has chosen to share with the world.

(Image credit: Aleksandr Silantev (Mod.io))For its part, the Stalker subreddit seems to prefer the Strelok E3 hairstyle as "peak," and you know what?

GSC Game World said the current version of the Zone Kit is "phase one," and that "there will be even more things to do with the Zone" when phase two arrives.

The original Stalker benefitted tremendously from post-launch mods, and redditor No__Mango2962 predicted the same for the sequel: "I can see it now.

PvP is the most controversial part of survival MMO Dune: Awakening, and players haven't been shy about airing their grievances.

On Dune: Awakening's new public test client, which Funcom announced today, the Deep Desert has been heavily overhauled: the endgame zone has gone from being about 90% PvP to a mere 50%.

Currently in Dune: Awakening, when you're in the 9x9 Deep Desert grid (composed of rows A through I), row A is the only PvE zone, with rows B through I full-on PvP.

The public test server is for, well, testing.

For now, read the full patch notes for the public test client here.

Among the children interviewed was one 11-year old Zohran Mamdani, who shared the following wishlist:Books.

If he did indeed receive SimCity 3000 during that fateful holiday season, how else might it have informed his politics?

(Image credit: Electronic Arts)And what other games might have made the Zohran Mamdani of 2025?

Dare I ask: Could Zohran Mamdani be New York City's first gamer mayor?

If you want to pursue your own mayoral ambitions, SimCity 3000 is currently on sale on Steam for $2.50.

The problem isn't the pet itself: King Krush chomps and roars, he reacts to actions and emotes, and he's just all around cute.

You have a 0.1% chance of earning King Krush in your first pull—the odds get better in subsequent pulls, but not by much.

(Image credit: Blizzard)With each additional pull, a reward is removed from the list and the odds to pull remaining prizes go up.

And if you take 10 pulls to get King Krush, which is not a certainty but awfully close to it, it'll cost you 158 bucks all told.

"King Krush deserved better than being paywalled for $158," Hearthstone content creator Zeddy wrote on X.

All is not lost, though, as it turns out that there's one AI that's so good at finding security issues and vulnerabilities in code that it's currently the leader in the US HackerOne leaderboard.

The company that developed the AI model is called Xbow (no, not Xbox) and it's used the same name for the system itself.

Xbow is also relatively new, as a Bloomberg report states that the start-up has only been around for a year.

The Xbow AI carries something called automated penetration testing, which simulates cyberattacks or any kind of systematic abuse of security vulnerabilities in code.

Given that Xbow currently tops the US HackerOne leaderboard, it's clearly doing a good job.

Meta and Microsoft are teaming up to sell limited quantities of a Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition at $400.

As with the regular Quest 3S, it includes Touch controllers.

It's priced $100 above the regular Quest 3S, but actually works out at $100 less than buying a Quest 3S, official Elite Strap, Xbox gamepad, and 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate separately.
