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.

Vampire Survivors внезапно обзавелась VR-версией для Quest 3
Vampire Survivors внезапно обзавелась VR-версией для Quest 3 Vampire Survivors внезапно обзавелась VR-версией для Quest 3

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.

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.

27 ноября инди-платформер SANABI получит бесплатное дополнение A Haunted Day 27 ноября инди-платформер SANABI получит бесплатное дополнение A Haunted Day

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.

Утечка: в Сеть попали скриншоты и некоторые подробности Far Cry 7 Утечка: в Сеть попали скриншоты и некоторые подробности Far Cry 7

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…

Первая Red Dead Redemption получила возрастной рейтинг для PS5, Xbox Series и Switch 2 Первая Red Dead Redemption получила возрастной рейтинг для PS5, Xbox Series и Switch 2

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.

Как именно она планирует это сделать и почему эти анонсы куда значимее, чем кажутся на первый взгляд — разбираемся в этом материале.

"We can't wait for you to put your truck to work in the breathtaking lands of northern Scandinavia!

There are a couple of existing preview videos they've put out if you want a driver's seat view of what to expect from Nordic Horizons' trips.

If you've not already, you can wishlist the DLC on Steam to drop in as soon as it drops.

I'll certainly be adding it to my list of things to give a go when I've got some open road.

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.

That's NEW VEGAS, the setting of obscure 2010 RPG Fallout: NEW VEGAS.

There's moralising about how you can't be a very nice person if you've had to grow up outside of a vault, those underground places which famously never have bad things happen in them.

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.

Felipe Falanghe, original developer of gurning spaceflight simulator Kerbal Space Program, has teamed up with Dean Hall, original creator of zombie MMO DayZ, to make a spiritual Kerbal successor - Kitten Space Agency.

"If you took 'intro to Aerospace engineering 101', you'd get a lot of what Kerbal Space Program was doing.

Assetto Corsa Rally looks the part as it heads into early access, but I've found its driving a numb struggle Assetto Corsa Rally looks the part as it heads into early access, but I've found its driving a numb struggle

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.

Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games

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.

Silent Hill f's got a fresh patch and it generally focuses on making the schoolgirl spookfest easier for those who want that option, or just aren't too fussed about fights.

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.

Maybe hold off a bit longer on reinstalling your Fallout 4 mods, as Bethesda have two anniversary update patches planned Maybe hold off a bit longer on reinstalling your Fallout 4 mods, as Bethesda have two anniversary update patches planned

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.

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.

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.

Whatever Valve says about its PC-first credentials, its new Steam Machines are another step closer to obliterating the once-indelible line between console and PC
Whatever Valve says about its PC-first credentials, its new Steam Machines are another step closer to obliterating the once-indelible line between console and PC Whatever Valve says about its PC-first credentials, its new Steam Machines are another step closer to obliterating the once-indelible line between console and PC

"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.

Arc Raiders' first major community unlock event has been made harder mere hours after launch, as players were completing it too fast
Arc Raiders' first major community unlock event has been made harder mere hours after launch, as players were completing it too fast Arc Raiders' first major community unlock event has been made harder mere hours after launch, as players were completing it too fast

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…

Five years from launch, the PS5 is a roaring success - so why doesn't it feel like it?
Five years from launch, the PS5 is a roaring success - so why doesn't it feel like it? Five years from launch, the PS5 is a roaring success - so why doesn't it feel like it?

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.

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.

New Red Dead Redemption rating suggests remaster on the way to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2
New Red Dead Redemption rating suggests remaster on the way to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2 New Red Dead Redemption rating suggests remaster on the way to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2

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.

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.

«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.

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.

Коллаборации с брендами: почему бизнес массово осваивает геймдев
Коллаборации с брендами: почему бизнес массово осваивает геймдев Коллаборации с брендами: почему бизнес массово осваивает геймдев

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.

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.

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.

In the mirror world of mobile, AI outrage is remarkably absent In the mirror world of mobile, AI outrage is remarkably absent

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."

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

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

What were the big goals for what you wanted to accomplish with Jackbox Party Pack 11?

Allard: While we may have taken a break from the Party Pack publishing schedule, the development length was similar to past Packs.

Any new design elements that interest us always further that idea: “How does it bring us together?”What have you learned from developing Jackbox Party Pack 11?

Nigel Franks from Snowed In Studios on the state of external development, and why video games are a relationship business Nigel Franks from Snowed In Studios on the state of external development, and why video games are a relationship business

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.

27″ PlayStation Gaming Monitor Announced, Will Launch Next Year in the US and Japan
27″ PlayStation Gaming Monitor Announced, Will Launch Next Year in the US and Japan 27″ PlayStation Gaming Monitor Announced, Will Launch Next Year in the US and Japan

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.

Sony Is Launching a Cheaper, Japanese-Language Only Digital PS5 in Japan
Sony Is Launching a Cheaper, Japanese-Language Only Digital PS5 in Japan Sony Is Launching a Cheaper, Japanese-Language Only Digital PS5 in Japan

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.

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 …

Fired Rockstar Workers Want to Be Reinstated and Get Back to Work on GTA VI
Fired Rockstar Workers Want to Be Reinstated and Get Back to Work on GTA VI Fired Rockstar Workers Want to Be Reinstated and Get Back to Work on GTA VI

But they would also like to be reinstated into Rockstar and get back to work to finish Grand Theft Auto VI (now slated for November 19, 2026, following another delay).

Bran said:If I have gross misconduct on my CV, on my resume for the rest of my life, that is a huge detriment to any future career prospects.

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.

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."

Nothing about PUBG and Subnautica 2 publisher Krafton's recent decision to become an "AI-first company" look good.

The company plans to drop over 130 billion won ($88 million) into the project, recently stopped hiring new employees, and started a voluntary resignation program for its employees in South Korea this week.

Far down the ladder from these decisions is Eleventh Hour Games, the developer behind Last Epoch, which Krafton acquired in July.

In light of today's news about Krafton, Cobler broke his silence to remind fans on the game's subreddit that the studio is still actively hiring new employees.

Alien: Earth renewed for Season 2, which is a great opportunity to make up for the disappointing end of Season 1 Alien: Earth renewed for Season 2, which is a great opportunity to make up for the disappointing end of Season 1

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?

I can't live without the Steam Deck's trackpads anymore, and I hope the Steam Controller forces the competition to adopt them I can't live without the Steam Deck's trackpads anymore, and I hope the Steam Controller forces the competition to adopt them

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.

There’s a reason the Steam Controller of 2025 looks a whole lot like the Steam Controller of 2015: It’s a good idea, but it didn’t have an obvious use case to…

"I got [The Outer Worlds co-creator Tim Cain] on the line, and I was just like, what do you guys think about this?

Boyarsky recalled that their first stab at a personality for the Moon Man "really wasn't landing."

But even without that gag, the Moon Man main menu makes for a memorable and unique part of The Outer Worlds 2's identity.

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.

But the reason you should watch the below video is not merely the delicious AI schadenfreude: it's what the humans do.

The two next to the robot immediately de-activate it and start hauling it off-stage, while one hero struggles manfully to cover the stage with a loose sheet of some kind.

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.

"It’s heartwarming to see so many of our colleagues supporting us and holding management to account," one of the fired employees said.

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

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office.

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."

One of our favorite 4X games is holding an extra-long free weekend starting today
One of our favorite 4X games is holding an extra-long free weekend starting today One of our favorite 4X games is holding an extra-long free weekend starting today

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.
