Объединённая компания Paramount и Warner Bros. получит название Skydance — наименования самих студий менять не будут«Что раньше было пределом, оказалось только началом».

Производством займётся студия Khara, основанная постановщиком.

В этот раз разработчики сообщили, что продажи Monster Hunter: Rise перевали за отметку в 20 миллионов копий.

Продажи Monster Hunter: Rise достигли 20 миллионов копий!

Надеемся, вы продолжите поддерживать серию Monster Hunter!

Таким образом, Monster Hunter: Rise в очередной раз закрепила за собой звание второй самой популярной части серии, уступая первенство Monster Hunter: World.

Monster Hunter: Rise также занимает бронзовое третье место в топе самых продаваемых игр за всю историю Capcom — серебро досталось ремейку Resident Evil 2, который преодолел отметку в 20 миллионов копий в прошлом месяце.

Однако в The Coalition всё же придумали способ, чтобы игры запускались на Series S нормально, и применили его в Gears of War: E-Day.

Поэтому программисты The Coalition предложили обойти технические ограничения консоли при помощи её же SSD — в случае необходимости система использует его в качестве оперативной памяти.

Однако важно понимать, что в цепочке «ЦП–оперативная память–SSD» переход к каждому последующему звену теряет в скорости чтения данных.

Поэтому для такого финта разработчики решили переложить на SSD сложные файлы с деталями города.

Так что, возможно, будущие порты на Series S сумеют выжать больше производительности из консоли.

Как пишет Variety, Embark Studios готовится отправить свои шутеры ARC Raiders и The Finals в сферу кино и телевидения.

Как сообщил исполнительный председатель Nexon и основатель Embark Studios Патрик Содерлунд (Patrick Söderlund), сотрудничество с Chernin Entertainment поможет превратить ARC Raiders и The Finals в «по-настоящему глубокие трансмедийные проекты».

В Chernin Entertainment увидели потенциал The Finals и ARC Raiders к превращению в крупные кино- или телепроекты.

Для нас честь, что они доверили нам объединить наши кино- и телевизионные команды ради этих историй», — заявил президент по кинопроизводству в Chernin Дэвид Реди (David Ready).

Тем временем ARC Raiders готовится к большом…

В июле 2026-го инсайдер Том Хендерсон (Tom Henderson) докладывал, что Ubisoft трудится над обновлённой версией не самой успешной Watch Dogs: Legion.

На тот момент релиз планировался до конца 2026-го, но теперь, если верить Insider Gaming, запуск перенесли на начало 2027-го.

Впрочем, данный релиз не означает, что в Ubisoft собираются полноценно возвращаться к франшизе Watch Dogs.

Во время ежегодной встречи с инвесторами, которая прошла в начале октября, генеральный директор Ubisoft Ив Гиймо (Yves Guillemot) сообщил, что в настоящее время серия Watch Dogs находится не в приоритете.

Её поместят в один из «творческих домов» только после «потенциального переосмысления».

Capcom назвала точное время выхода Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen — дополнения и переиздания ролевого экшена Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Практически во всём мире (кроме большинства игроков в западном полушарии) новинка станет доступна 9 октября, как и было запланировано.

Но игроки на разных платформах начнут играть в разное время.

Так, на Xbox Series и PC новинка станет доступна в 3:00 по московскому времени.

Авторы ролевой игры Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy выпустили новый трейлер, который посвящён одной из интереснейших геймплейных механик — детективной составляющей.

Судя по всему, это действительно глубокая система.

Будучи аколитом Инквизиции, главный герой обладает полномочиями вести собственные расследования.

Это подразумевает и допрос свидетелей, и поиск улик… и проверку показаний с пытками подозреваемых.

Шутер Gears of War: E-Day теперь доступен и владельцам стандартных изданий на Xbox Series и PC (в том числе в Game Pass Ultimate и PC Game Pass) — через пять дней после расширенного доступа для обладателей Premium Edition.

Приквел серии, очень тепло встреченный критиками и понравившийся игрокам, рассказывает о Маркусе Фениксе и Доминике Сантьяго, которые противостоят Орде Саранчи в первые дни вторжения.

На текущий момент новинка получает 77% положительных отзывов в Steam, а онлайн в сервисе Valve сейчас составляет 8 тыс игроков.

Посмотрим, насколько увеличится этот показатель в ближайшие часы!

Создатели Battlefield 6 выпустили геймплейный трейлер пятого сезона шутера, который начнётся уже 13 октября.

В ролике показали масштабные сражения в Лас-Вегасе — со взрывами, частичным разрушением зданий, полётом на вертолёте и перестрелками в казино.

А в дополнение — воздушные сражения на истребителях, подземные бои на танках и не только.

Сезон привнесёт в игру в том числе:

Создатели Warhammer Survivors (среди которых и автор Vampire Sirvivors) выпустили свежий геймплейный трейлер и объявили дату релиза рогалика — игра выйдет 10 ноября на PS5, Xbox Series, обеих Switch, мобильных и PC.

В свежем ролике разработчики показали пиксельно-кровавый геймплей новинки, в которой игрокам в роли одного из 40+ чемпионов (из Warhammer 40,000 и Warhammer: Age of Sigmar) придётся разбираться с ордами противников.

Для этого нам пригодятся свыше 75 видов оружия (среди которых болтер, цепной меч Астартес и топоры смерча).

А дополнительной мощи героям придадут разнообразные способности.

Каждая новая битва позволит игрокам зарабатывать всё больше золота, которое пригодится в будущ…

Многопользовательская ролевая игра Aion 2 завоевала лидерство в свежем чарте Steam, где игры упорядочены по выручке за неделю.

Шутер Counter-Strike 2 сохранил вторую позицию, а замыкает тройку благодаря полноценному релизу Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve.

Лидировавшие ранее EA Sports FC 27 и WARDOGS опустились на 3 и 2 строчки соответственно.

Также в десятке оказались Transport Fever 3, Wuthering Waves (подъём на 61 позицию) и Minecraft Dungeons 2.

А благодаря огромной скидке в топ вернулась и Cyberpunk 2077.

По словам Несмита, он постарался придать убежищу на авианосце из Fallout 3 немного магии The Elder Scrolls.

Ветеран индустрии также считает, что мир Fallout более безумный и даёт авторам больше свободы.

Вселенная Fallout не так ограничена.

Люди строят города на бейсбольных стадионах и на авианосцах», — заявил Несмит.

Да, огрехи в ней есть, но не критические, считает он.

Студия Lighthouse Games, во главе которой стоит бывший руководитель Playground, зарегистрировала товарные знаки EUIPO Ignition: Drive the World и Wonderland: Drive the World.

Вероятно, эти наименования относятся к гоночному симулятору, которым занимается команда.

Предположительно, игра будет называться Drive the World, а внутри неё будут режимы Wonderland и Ignition.

Основатель Lighthouse Games Гэвин Ребёрн рассказывал, что игра его студии станет конкурентом серии Forza Horizon.

Он уверен, что рынок гоночных симуляторов может обзавестись ещё одним успешным проектом.

Разработчики Hearthstone рассказали о режиме 2 на 2, который планируют добавить в Tavern Brawl.

В команде отметили, что баланс в таких сражениях — отдельная и сложная задача, потому что многие паттерны, которые уместны в схватках 1 на 1, не работают в командных состязаниях.

Именно поэтому Blizzard не обещает сразу выдать идеальный геймплей.

Добавление нового режима в экспериментальный Tavern Brawl позволит при помощи игроков искать сломанные комбинации карт, различные ошибки и другие проблемы.

За новым форматом будут внимательно следить, а разработчики планируют быстро вносить правки.

«Supermassive покидают более 70 блестящих специалистов: разработчики, художники, продюсеры, тестировщики, операционисты и многие другие.

Любая студия была бы счастлива заполучить их.

Если вы ищете сотрудников, напишите мне в личные сообщения, и я вас познакомлю», — написал он.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer, новая гонка во вселенной «Звёздных войн», доступна на PC, PS5 и Xbox Series.

И любители совместной игры будут рады узнать, что разработчики уже работают над увеличением лимита группы в мультиплеере — с 3 до 6 человек!

Соответствующее обновление должно выйти в первые пострелизные недели.

Напомним, что Star Wars: Galactic Racer не продаётся в российских регионах Steam и EGS, а также не поддерживает русский язык.

Пиковый онлайн гонки на платформе Valve успел превысить 4,7 тыс.

Разработчики Halloween: The Game объявили дату выхода первого дополнения в небольшом тизере — 27 сентября.

Его посвятили картине «Месть Майкла Майерса».

В трёх наборах представят также скин Майкла Майерса из перезапуска 2018 года, дополнительных выживших и косметические предметы.

Также сообщается, что 27 октября выйдет бесплатное обновление с картой «Ферма Тауэр», вдохновлённой пятой частью серии фильмов.

Её описывают как место, «где потрепанные сельские дороги сходятся в центре небольшого, причудливого фермерского поселения недалеко от Хэддонфилда».

Состоялся релиз Star Wars: Galactic Racer на PC, PS5 и Xbox Series (прим. — на консолях браузерные версии магазинов могут опаздывать).

2022's Bayonetta 3 released to pretty good reception (although did earn ire for its depiction of the witch herself), but all's been quiet on the Umbral front since.

With creator Hideki Kamiya having left PlatinumGames in 2023, it seemed even more unlikely for the series to continue.

At one point, Hyung-tae joked that though Bayonetta was "approaching 17, but [...] the game really hasn't lost any of its freshness."

Famitsu in turn asked if Platinum has any ideas for the series' next move, to which Inaba responded "Well...

As for Bayonetta, I strongly feel that I want to expand her as a character and broaden her world.

Car Park Capital is a management game that looks to be straight out of the 90s, born from the same Bullfrog sensibilities that gave us Theme Park and Theme Hospital.

Starting with the second problem first, I bring up the city heatmap which shows me where there is the most need for a car park.

In moments like this, Car Park Capital looks like it could be a lost Bullfrog game.

Again, there is a great deal of the Bullfrog in Car Park Capital.

Car Park Capital isn't a complex game.

A prolific platformer series starring a bipedal egg, it spanned formats from the ZX Spectrum to the NES and Game Gear, and managed sixteen(!?)

Still, that hasn’t stopped its creators, the Oliver Twins, from trying to bring it back in the current era, and so came the announcement of another new Dizzy game during their talk at last weekend’s Play Expo in Blackpool.

Horror game makers Supermassive Games, the studio behind Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, have followed through on plans to lay off staff not long after the launch of Directive 8020.

In August, Supermassive put out a statement signalling the beginning of redundancy consultations they anticipated would see up to 75 of their staff let go.

A few weeks ago I posted that my role at Supermassive Games was at risk," Supermassive veteran Frank Tindle wrote on LinkedIn, as spotted by Insider Gaming.

The studio's latest game, Dark Pictures entry Directive 8020 launched in May to fairly mixed reviews.

Solidarity to all of the Supermassive staff affected by these layoffs.

Street Fighter IV, the game that basically revived the fighting game genre back in 2009 and gave birth (not literally) to a new subset of players lovingly referred to as ‘09ers’, saw its final iteration in 2014’s Ultra Street Fighter IV.

While it wasn’t the most perfectly balanced game, it’s remembered fondly by its players and is viewed by many as the last vestige of ‘honest Street Fighter’.

It’s also burdened with being limited to delay-based netcode rather than the more modern and more stable rollback netcode, but this is something modders are attempting to fix.

Faabi’s ‘SF4Enhanced’ and Kabiefox’s ‘SF4 Ember’, both released in the last few weeks and proudly offer rollback netcode and pr…

The unannounced but consistently leaked Xbox Elite Series 3 controller has, well, leaked again.

The datamined Xbox Elite Series 3 details ended up on Reddit and revealed a number of promising controller additions.

For starters, the listing seems to confirm the controller will have Hall Effect and TMR sticks.

There's also a reference to "advanced haptics" for the Elite Series 3 controller, which appears to mirror some of the features of the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller.

The most recent iteration, Elite Series 2 Core, debuted in 2022 for £115 / $130, three years after the main, more expensive and feature-rich version at £160 / $180.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Developer: NintendoNintendo Publisher: NintendoNintendo Played on: Switch 2Switch 2 Availability: 22nd October on Switch 2I might be getting a bit ahead of myself, though.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort (which, somewhat confusingly, is exclusive to Switch 2) includes a total of 12 motion-controlled events, six of them returning from 2022's Nintendo Switch Sports, six of them new.

Or at least returning after a much longer absence, some having previously appeared back in 2009's Wii Sports Resort.

Together, then, there's archery, basketball, bowling, boxing, golf, power cruising, prop plane, skateboarding, table tennis, tennis, thumb wrestling, and volleyball.

As a first-party Xbox title, Gears of War: E-Day is under pressure to look good and run well on Xbox consoles.

Gears of War: E-Day has densely-detailed environments that require a lot of system memory (RAM), which is a struggle for Xbox Series S' 10GB of GDDR6 RAM.

The Coalition's solution was to offload some of that data onto the console's ultra-fast NVMe SSD storage drive.

Whether future Xbox games could use similar technology to increase performance on Xbox Series S is of course the big question, especially as large-world games GTA 6 and Fable approach.

Staff at The Coalition fear they could be laid off next, following the release of Gears of War: E-Day.

CD Projekt Red has let The Witcher 3 community know its work isn't done patching the newly-released Remastered edition of the game.

Manage cookie settings The launch trailer for the Remastered edition of the game.Watch on YouTubeThese patching efforts follow a slightly bumpy arrival for the Remastered revamp of The Witcher 3.

"Please bring back the next-gen version to PS5," read another.

"Don't delete for preservation the next-gen version to the people that already owned [it].

And so far, the Remastered edition has not only brought players back in droves, but reinvigorated sales of the game as well.

Supermassive Games - the developer behind games such as Directive 8020 and the original Until Dawn - seems to have lost over 70 staff today as part of widespread layoffs at the company.

Supermassive Games previously announced these were coming in August.

"More than 70 brilliant people are leaving Supermassive: developers, artists, producers, QA, operations and more.

This resulted in the delay of Directive 8020, a game that would go on to release this May.

Here's hoping the hard times are over for Supermassive, and those impacted by these recent layoffs land on their feet.

But Tarae: The Unbound, from South Korean studio Boundary and publisher Krafton, might help change that.

Tarae: The Unbound Developer: BoundaryBoundary Publisher: KraftonKrafton Platform: Played on PCPlayed on PC Availability: TBC on PC (via Steam).

The first is a charging slash that shows Boundary understands the importance of weight in games like this.

Movement - the ability to shift quickly across the battlefield - is another key ARPG element Tarae nails.

Based on my relatively brief hands-on time, Tarae: The Unbound has a solid ARPG foundation.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 studio Infinity Ward is betting big on DMZ - the game's extraction shooter mode - becoming another major pillar of the series.

In a wide-ranging blog post and developer diary, we learn more about the studio's goals, and how the upcoming DMZ builds on 2022's Modern Warfare 2 DMZ beta.

That said, certain elements - such as weapon progression, are shared with Modern Warfare 4's multiplayer modes and battle royale mode Warzone.

The DMZ map, Haijin, has the largest population of enemy AI that Infinity Ward said it's ever built.

DMZ is available at Modern Warfare 4's launch on 23rd October for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2.

Instead, the team simply tried to avoid trends that would become outdated come launch.

One notable constant is how the series deals with the American Dream and how the public's attitude toward the American Dream has shifted through the years.

"Maybe the American Dream is more modest now," Humphries added.

Humphries stops short of explaining what GTA 6's take on the American Dream is exactly, but his interpretation might certainly be a clue to Jason and Lucia's motivations.

Perhaps they're not chasing excessive, bottomless pools of cash with no end in sight like the GTA protagonists before them.

Halo Studios can't promise that the previously-announced Halo novel will land on shop shelves, but the company is "determined" to see the project cross the finish line regardless.

As part of the console maker's sweeping restructure, mass layoffs hit developer Halo Studios and the entire series moved under Activision's supervision.

Xbox's Matt Booty said "a small team at Halo Studios will continue supporting the Halo community and games in-market."

Now, franchise writer Alex Wakeford has addressed what's happening with two of the series' upcoming stories - Troy Denning's Halo: Fireteam Noble and Kenneth Peters' Halo: Burn the Road Home novella.

Halo: Fireteam Noble was previously set to come…

Film and TV show adaptations of Arc Raiders and The Finals are in the works - and developer Embark Studios is collaborating with Chernin Entertainment to get the job done.

"Arc Raiders and The Finals are exactly the kind of opportunities we've been building towards," Chernin's film president, David Ready, added.

Arc Raiders and The Finals join an impossibly large crowd of video games waiting to get the big/small screen treatment.

Despite all the game-to-film and game-to-show projects in the pipeline - there's a lot - I'm quite excited at the prospect of an Arc Raiders adaptation.

Either way, Arc Raiders has sold over 16m copies since its release a year ago.

But while the D&D translation of WoW does include races and dungeons and characters from Blizzard's famous game, it doesn't fundamentally alter what it is.

The D&D: World of Warcraft book releases 17th November, and it's a 256-page publication stuffed with quite a lot of new art, and it brings 16 playable species (races) from WoW to D&D.

For example, there are no raids in D&D: World of Warcraft; there are iconic raid-dungeons such as Onyxia's Lair, but they're encounters for small groups of friends - four or five - rather than 20 or 40.

"I've been trying to shift my thinking to talking about 'paraphrase', because we're not doing a word-for-word translation of any WoW game mechanics," he sai…

And then we have so many ways to tell these stories outside of actually meeting characters face to face.

Rockstar has worked on GTA 6 for "years and years" so it needs to fill the game with events and stories that still feel "vital" when the game is released.

It would be replicating the world outside your window.

Rockstar said similar things to IGN in a GTA 6 interview not so long ago, with Rockstar North's Rob Nelson assuring people "there's always stuff to satirise".

But Rockstar has to be "careful" what it chooses to satirise such that it doesn't feel "dated" when the game arrives, he stressed, underlining that thinking.

Правительство Австралии выделит 1 млн австралийских долларов (698 тысяч долларов США) на поддержку местных разработчиков игр.

Официально деньги инвестирует госкорпорация South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC), которая передаст их в фонд Digital Games Fund.

Им предоставят до 30 тысяч австралийских долларов (21 тысячи долларов США) на препродакшн и создание прототипов, до 150 тысяч австралийских долларов (104,7 тысячи долларов США) на основной процесс разработки и до 50 тысяч австралийских долларов (34,9 тысячи долларов США) на пострелизные работы — например, на портирование и локализацию на дополнительные языки.

Для этого она запустила специальную программу, в рамках которой обещает найти …

Бывший руководитель PlayStation Studios Шон Лейден (Shawn Layden) не оценил решение Sony прекратить производство дисков для консолей PlayStation с 2028-го.

Он полагает, что переход на полностью цифровую дистрибуцию может заметно ударить по репутации корпорации и привести к потере преданной аудитории.

Кроме того, отказ от дисков вновь обостряет вопрос о праве собственности на игры, считает Лейден.

«Если вы не можете что-то продать, значит, что вы этим не владеете.

Лейден подчеркнул, что не знает финансовых причин, которыми руководствовалась Sony, тем не менее он не уверен, что они того стоят.

В этот раз о получении финансирования рассказала студия Mobge Games.

Сколько именно она выделила команде — не раскрывается, но известно, что благодаря инвестициям рыночная стоимость Mobge Games превысила 10 млн долларов.

Mobge Games была основана в 2012 году и известна прежде всего по платформеру о приключениях викинга Oddmar.

Примечательно, что Mobge Games — уже как минимум третья мобильная студия из Турции, которая с начала осени заручилась поддержкой инвесторов.

В сентябре похожими новостями делились Circle Games (ей дали 25 млн долларов) и Arcustin Games (ей дали 500 тысяч долларов при оценке в 10 млн долларов).

Пока AppLovin судится с Unity, на нее саму ополчились власти округа Сан-Диего в США.

Согласно иску, полученные данные AppLovin загружает в «рекламный движок на базе искусственного интеллекта», который дает ей возможность показывать рекламу в детских играх.

Тем не менее, указали власти Сан-Диего, все это только полбеды.

В качестве доказательства власти приложили к иску скриншоты подобных креативов со смартфона шестилетнего ребенка, сделанных при работающем родительском контроле.

Отметим, что в иске властей Сан-Диего частично повторяются обвинения, которые в феврале 2025-го выдвинули к AppLovin несколько шортселлеров.

Capcom спешит поделиться новыми успехами Monster Hunter Rise.

В предыдущий раз Capcom раскрывала продажи Monster Hunter Rise летом.

Из информации на сайте компании известно, что по состоянию на 30 июня 2026-го те составляли 19,3 млн копий.

Ранее Monster Hunter Rise входила в состав подписок Game Pass и PlayStation Plus, поэтому ее общая аудитория должна быть еще больше, но эти данные Capcom не стала озвучивать.

Релиз Monster Hunter Rise изначально состоялся 26 марта 2021-го на Nintendo Switch.

В середине августа Supermassive Games анонсировала массовые увольнения — в рамках них студию должны были покинуть 75 человек.

The QuarryО финале увольнений написал в социальных сетях уже бывший директор по информационным технологиям и инфраструктуре Supermassive Games Фрэнк Тиндл (Frank Tindle).

Слова Тиндла укладываются в сроки британского законодательства, а Supermassive Games базируется именно в Великобритании.

С момента анонса перемен в Supermassive Games прошло как раз немногим больше этого времени.

Как заметил портал Insider Gaming, до увольнений в Supermassive Games трудились более 400 человек.

Американская компания DraftKings, специализирующаяся на онлайн-казино, беттинге и фэнтези-спорте, столкнулась с судебным иском.

Вест обвинил DraftKings в использовании искусственного интеллекта для выявления клиентов, которые с большей вероятностью продолжат делать ставки после получения рекламных предложений.

За несколько лет истец проиграл тысячи долларов на ее платформе, и в последнее время стал с завидной регулярностью получать рекламные письма и другие уведомления с призывом продолжить игру.

Вест считает, что DraftKings нарушила законодательство штата Массачусетс, поскольку не сообщала клиентам об использовании ИИ в подобных целях.

Она заявила, что не прибегает к ИИ и не пытается с его…

Напомним, у Ninja Theory возникли проблемы летом во время старта реструктуризации игрового подразделения Microsoft.

На фоне этого топ-менеджмент не исключил, что вместо продажи Ninja Theory ждет закрытие, а в самой студии начался процесс консультаций о потенциальном роспуске команды.

Руководство Ninja Theory не комментировало сообщения персонала об увольнениях.

Один из основателей студии Warhorse Studios, стоящей за дилогией Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Мартин Клима (Martin Klima) раскритиковал современные RPG.

По его мнению, многие игры в этом жанре до сих пор изобилуют клише и рассчитаны на подростков.

«Когда тебе 16-17 лет, тебе нравятся игры, в которых можно почувствовать себя всемогущим героем, — в таком возрасте это именно то, что тебе нужно.

Как полагает сооснователь Warhorse Studios, авторы подобных игр просто не готовы рисковать и предпочитают из раза в раз использовать проверенные решения.

По словам менеджера, желание предложить игрокам что-то другое в свое время и подтолкнуло Warhorse Studios создать Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag ResyncedХендерсон ознакомился с письмом для сотрудников Ubisoft, в котором говорится, что команда будет разрабатывать ИИ-решения для генерации геймплея.

Хотя в письме детали не раскрываются, источники инсайдера утверждают, что Ubisoft планирует внедрить технологии Motherbrain в максимально возможное число игр.

Сообщается, что Ubisoft считает Motherbrain командой сопоставимой по важности с «творческими домами» — большими подразделениями, которые оперируют игровыми франшизами.

Он работает в компании больше двух десятилетий и когда-то был ведущим продюсером серии Mario + Rabbids, но в последние годы как раз отвечает за развитие генеративного ИИ.

Учитывая все это, за…

Инди-инкубатор prototype.indie попробовал составить портрет инди-разработчика из России.

В основу исследования лег опрос отечественного геймдев-комьюнити, но сколько человек поучаствовало в нем — не уточняется.

Почти всю эту сумму обеспечили наземные казино.

По оценкам министерства, только они принесли в казну страны 422,7 млн сомов (4,83 млн доллара).

Хотя остальные секторы сгенерировали не так много налогов, сам по себе их вклад тоже оказался значительным.

В частности, симуляторы и игровые автоматы принесли 13,9 млн сомов (158 тысяч долларов), а ставки на спорт — еще 4 млн сомов (45 тысяч долларов).

Наименьший объем налоговых поступлений пришелся на сегмент онлайн-казино — 2,8 млн сомов (32 тысячи долларов).

Sega is "not entrusting the creative aspects of games to AI", but is using the technology to "improve efficiency" in other departments like publishing.

Speaking to Nikkei (via VGC), senior executive officer and deputy chief business officer Tsuyoshi Saito said that the company is "very cautious" about how it implements generative AI during development.

"We are using AI to improve efficiency in areas such as publishing and corporate departments, as well as for generating business ideas," said Saito.

"However, we are being very cautious about its use in the game development process, and we are not entrusting the creative aspects of games to AI."

"Definitely, soft power is in our agenda," says Rodrigo Terra, president of the Brazilian games industry trade body Abragames.

"We want to be in the top five game producers in the world in less than 10 years," he tells GamesIndustry.biz.

"People are rediscovering globally what Brazil is, or what they think Brazil is."

"So we have four professions now recognised: producer, game designer, game narrative, and game artists."

The South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) has doubled its Digital Games Fund (DGF) funding to $1 million to support local developers.

Following the success of its inaugural round last October, which distributed $500,000 among 11 studios, this year's DGF represents the South Australian government's largest single investment in game development.

The Game Studio Placement Program will launch later this year.

The DGF was established to boost the development of original local games, help developers expand their businesses, and increase the number of games from South Australia globally.

The VGD Rebate launched in 2020 and has since supported the production of over 40 games from South Australia.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be available to play on cloud gaming service Amazon Luna at launch as part of a Prime subscription.

Developed by Fuse Games and published by Secret Mode, players on Amazon Luna will be able to play Galactic Racer's single-player campaign alongside its Arcade and Scenario gameplay modes.

"Luna players can jump into the single-player campaign the moment it launches without needing to own a console or wait for a lengthy download.

Amazon Luna launched in the US in 2022, followed by the UK, Germany, and Canada a year later.

"They like to play games, but they're not able to play on a television screen.

NBA 2K25 will be delisted from storefronts on October 30, 2026, with servers to sunset on December 31.

In a post published by 2K, players who own the game can still redownload the title and play offline modes, including Play Now, MyNBA, The W, and MyWNBA.

Features that require a connection to 2K servers will be unavailable, including MyCareer and MyTeam modes.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but 2K confirmed its NBA series has sold over 150 million units globally.

"We are excited to unveil NBA Take-Two Media and look forward to seeing how it will create an entirely new and multifaceted NBA experience for our communities."

Embark Studios' Arc Raiders and The Finals are both being adapted for TV and film.

It will serve as the lead producer on the TV series and movies for both games.

It won best multiplayer game at the 2025 Game Awards and received the best multiplayer award at the 2026 BAFTA Games Awards.

Chernin's credits include the film Backrooms, which Variety says grossed more than $400 million worldwide on a $10 million budget, and the Apple TV series Chief of War.

These are, of course, just the latest in a long line of gaming IPs adapted for TV and movies.

Ninja Theory has begun laying off employees.

That's according to Game Developer news editor Chris Kerr, who spotted posts from affected staff on LinkedIn.

Xbox said on September 22 that it was proposing the closure of Ninja Theory and beginning a consultation process with employees, after attempts to sell the studio failed.

It said "two separate agreements for Ninja Theory fell through" while continuing to "explore other paths forward."

Ninja Theory was working on Senua, the third Hellblade game, which Xbox announced at its June showcase.

On PC, F2P playtime grew even as its share declined, while on console, F2P playtime fell, with the decline concentrated in a handful of established live-service titles.

Gacha, which Newzoo defines as progression-based loot box monetization, has become the main area of F2P growth on PC.

The report counts 17 major gacha titles on PC and console in 2025, up from three in 2021.

PC gacha playtime grew 92% between 2021 and 2025, adding 864 million hours, while console gacha added 85 million hours over the same period despite shrinking in two of those years.

Newzoo says audience overlap suggests much of the PC gacha growth comes from players moving between titles in the category.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has introduced new AI upscaling technology to the base PlayStation 5, called Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR).

PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) remains exclusive to the PS5 Pro, which SIE says is the "gold standard" of this technology.

"The reality is that the PS5 Pro has 300 TOPS of dedicated hardware for this purpose and is free to pick a much more generous spot on that cost-versus-quality curve."

Craig continued: "It's true that PS5 Pro was purpose built for the task, so QSSR relies primarily on FP16 math.

The first titles to implement AI upscaling on the base PS5 are Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine and Sucker Punch Productions' Ghost …

It's estimated that there have been more than 58,000 layoffs in the games industry since 2022, with the majority occurring in North America.

Many of those leaving the AAA sector – Fischer and Feldman included – have sought refuge in the indie space, and GamesIndustry.biz has spoken to developers who have made the leap from AAA to indie in recent years to find out their experiences.

He says that as you become more senior in the games industry, you tend to be put in a "box" and end up working only on one specific area of expertise.

"It's less risky to be the masters of our own fate rather than depending on the game industry, which is not a dependable partner."

RuneScape creator Jagex has responded to the use of generative AI in a trailer for RuneScape 3's Dragon Slayer 2 quest shown during RuneFest.

Jagex stated that "a trusted external partner who had explicitly confirmed GenAI would not be used" produced the trailer.

"This is the second time in quick succession that concerns about generative AI have arisen through partners we trusted, and for us that highlights an issue with our own processes which we must address."

There will be no generative AI in the game that they experience."

Dobrowski stated that Jagex was undertaking external reviews with various partners to ensure that GenAI wasn't making its way into games and promotional material.

Walt Disney Company president and CCO Dana Walden has dismissed ongoing rumours of an Epic Games buyout, saying "those are not the conversations we are having right now."

At Bloomberg's Screentime event last week, Walden referenced the "very serious conversations" between Epic and Disney following Disney's $1.5 billion equity investment in 2024.

When the acquisition went through, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said Epic would "continue to maintain control of the board following the close of [the] transaction."

Following Disney's investment in Epic, the companies began a significant collaboration to develop a new "games and entertainment universe."

"Epic Games' industry-leading technology and Fo…

Capcom has announced a multi-phase project to adapt its proprietary RE Engine into an "AI-generation engine" to streamline development and optimise performance.

Capcom started building its RE engine in 2014 to develop Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which launched in 2017.

Ishida outlined how the REX project will accelerate development, improve QA efficiency, enhance usability for new and international staff, and integrate AI into the production workflow.

New systems will be integrated, including RE:Dox for standardized data processing, RE:UI to accelerate the development toolkit, and RE:Log, which uses ID-based logging.

This follows Resident Evil Requiem's inclusion in a demo of Nvidia's DLSS …

What this belated consultation hammers home is just how unilateral the decision to end physical game distribution has been.

The idea that digital game sales are simply steadily displacing physical game sales in a clean, linear fashion is, after all, vastly too simplistic.

The high-value aspect of physical media, however, is also very important and seems to have been largely overlooked in Sony's decision-making.

For a lot of gamers, digital game purchases are the workhorse – month-to-month subscription payments or picking up digital games when they're on sale or otherwise discounted.

It's smaller titles and publishers that often do the best from physical distribution if measured by revenue p…

This move comes just a month after TSMC stated that it will raise wafer prices by up to 10 percent in 2027.

According to Reuters, Chinese customers will face Samsung’s steepest price hikes, with prices rising between 10 and 15 percent.

Also, to maintain its position at the top of the food chain, U.S. customers will be served first, but they will still be subjected to the increased chip prices.

Where TSMC previously gobbled up waves of customers, Samsung is finally starting to witness some action.

An ultra-premium GPU like the ASUS Astral RTX 5080 isn’t a purchase for the faint of heart because, at $1994.45 on online retailers like Amazon, the graphics card crosses the price of high-end gaming laptops.

However, one customer shows proof that he purchased the same card for less than $700, but the transaction was made on AliExpress.

If you thought he acquired the deal of a lifetime, you’re about to read about some glaring red flags.

Judging from the statement the Redditor has made, he was already aware that this RTX 5080 purchase was just bait, but he decided to bite the bullet and see for himself.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that a microSD card had been hot-glued to the PCB.

Shopping from a sketchy website will always result in subpar experiencesThe website’s name was omitted by Redditor “FishBrain208,” who says his co-worker purchased three 32TB hard drives from an online store.

The price of each drive wasn’t mentioned either, but considering the customer purchased three of them, they wouldn’t have been too expensive.

Upon plugging each of the 32TB hard drives in, the co-worker said that none of them worked, so when prying open the enclosures, it was found that a microSD card was glued to a PCB.

Unsurprisingly, other Redditors aren’t displaying a shred of sympathy because e…

That early momentum didn't translate into a smooth reception, however, as the game's Steam user reviews dropped to a Mixed rating almost immediately.

Steam Deck and Linux users have fared even worse, finding themselves completely unable to launch the game due to its anti-cheat implementation.

A Closer Look at the ASUS ROG STRIX X870-I GAMING WIFIThe Strix X870-I has a typical ITX motherboard layout, except for the FPS card, which …

Due to the memory crisis, RAM reviews are quite rare. However, we received the latest XPG NOVAKEY RGB memory kit from ADATA. The new memory kit is rated at 6000 MT/s and tight timings, which is perfect for AMD gaming computers. The tested memory kit has 32GB of capacity, which doesn't seem like much nowadays, but it's perfect for gaming and is the most budget-friendly option that delivers high performance to those who need it most.

Besides performance, ADATA focuses on aesthetics in the XPG NOVAKEY RAM series. The new and unique design should find its fans among gamers and modders, as it's far from the competitive solutions.

Today we present another ITX motherboard for AMD AM5 processors, and I can already share that there will be more in this tiny form factor in the coming months. The MSI MPG X870I EDGE TI EVO, on which we focus right now, isn't the latest model, but it's still the best MSI ITX motherboard for AMD processors, and since its release, it has seen multiple BIOS improvements. Since we didn't have a chance to review this motherboard earlier and it's definitely worth it, we will correct it today. ITX motherboards are mostly designed for gamers and enthusiasts, and this one is no different. The MPG X870I EDGE TI EVO is equipped with the latest controllers and designed for overclocking. I will tell you…

Since all memory products are expensive, more users are seeking a balanced solution that delivers high performance while remaining wallet-friendly. ADATA released the MARS 970 PLUS M.2 SSDs a while ago, which promise to be optimal for gamers and fit the budget.

There are only a few AM5 motherboards worth mentioning in the mini-ITX form factor. Since it's not often we see one on Overclockers, today we present the Gigabyte X870I AORUS PRO ICE. It's not the latest, but it's still quite a new model and definitely worth highlighting. The tested version is 1.1, so a few things have already been improved, including support for higher RAM frequencies. All those details count a lot for overclockers and enthusiasts. Especially those who love the ITX-size motherboards should find something interesting in our article.

The X870I AORUS PRO ICE supports the latest components, such as high-speed DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, USB4, high-end audio and WiFi 7. The list of …

Gigabyte is the first motherboard brand to introduce a fresh, eye-catching design featuring wood-like elements. The tested AERO X3D WOOD motherboard includes not only the new design, but also multiple features available in all the latest motherboard series marked as X3D. It means we can expect great hardware compatibility and performance improvements for the latest processors, including some help from AI.

Like the recently reviewed X3D ELITE motherboard, the X3D WOOD supports the latest components, including high-speed DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, USB 4, and Wi-Fi 7. The AERO X3D WOOD offers something above that, but you have to read our review to find out what I'm talking about.

We rarely get to review Colorful's products, but they're always unique and interesting. This time, we received the latest overclocking-series motherboard for AMD Ryzen processors: the iGame X870E VULCAN OC V14. The motherboard is optimized for the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 processors from the X3D series and high-frequency DDR5 memory. It's also packed with gaming and overclocking features, which we cover in our review.

Gigabyte keeps refreshing its AM5 motherboards with X3D models optimized for the latest Ryzen processors. One of the new models is the X870E AORUS ELITE X3D ICE, which will be tested today. Since it's the ICE version, the motherboard is entirely white, making it a perfect fit for bright-themed computers. Besides its aesthetics, it offers all the high-end gaming and overclocking features, improved by AI, so it should satisfy a wide range of users.

The X870E AORUS ELITE X3D ICE supports the latest components, such as high-speed DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, USB4, and WiFi 7. The list of exciting features is longer, but we won't tell you everything in the introduction.

Recently, we could see the MAG X870E GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI, while today, a higher model from the refreshed MAX series - MPG X870E CARBON MAX WIFI. The new CARBON motherboard is designed for demanding users and promises to be the best option for gamers, delivering multiple unique features, premium components, and original aesthetics.

The new MAX motherboards bring an improved experience to the already successful AM5 motherboard series. In our review, we check what we can expect of the MPG X870E CARBON MAX WIFI and share our experience based on multiple tests and games.

The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PC, and rather than walk you through a feature list, I wanted to talk about the decisions that went into creating it.

Two Genres, One ApocalypseAMC’s “The Walking Dead” is a world defined by scarcity, tension, and the consequences of every decision.

Streets of Survival brings those qualities together through a blend of exploration, resource management, and arcade-inspired brawler combat.

Each playable character’s skill tree branches, so a second run with the same survivor is a different build, and playing the same level with a different survivor creates a totally different game.

Since the launch of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PS5 Pro, players and developers have asked whether similar image-quality improvements could be brought to the PS5 console.

PSSR analyzes game images pixel by pixel and uses AI to upscale them with more detail and stability than conventional approaches; until now, its computational demands made bringing that experience to PS5 impossible.

Today, we’re excited to announce Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR): a new performance tier of AI upscaling.

While PSSR remains the gold standard on PS5 Pro, QSSR provides some notable improvements to both image detail and image stability on PS5.

Los Santos Customs I'm modding GTA 5 every day in a quest to either transform it into a PC version of GTA 6 or break it entirely.

Come back tomorrow to find out what new horrible thing I've done to Rockstar's baby, or check out what I got up to earlier.

But something new: Franklin carries a duffel bag with him into the abyss now, and I am unsure as to why.

My guess is that it is a byproduct of my newly installed mod, ScamV, which "turns Los Santos into your digital playground."

But wait, there is also this—the possibility of walking into a bank, any bank, and interacting with the teller by paying in fake cheques.

Take games for example, it's wormed its way into voice acting, voice acting, and more voice acting.

This is where Warhorse's co-founder, Martin Klima, thinks videogame execs are getting it wrong, because "AI is not a get out of jail free card."

This would, he says, allow them to make even bigger games than they could beforehand.

"It can mean it has more missions to play, whatever—people will still want to have this bigger game."

While AI may not reduce the cost of the game, it will allow us to create bigger games for the same cost".

I didn't know I could have an entitled opinion about giant anime robots until I played a preview of Gundam Rogue Orbit, but it turns out I can.

I'm mad because they gave me a Gundam with a whip sword straight out of Bloodborne (if Gundam hadn't actually gotten there first in the mid-'90s).

Why couldn't I look through a short list of weapons whitelisted for the demo build and have a chance to think: "Whip sword?

The fact that you can customize your mech in Rogue Orbit isn't secret: there's a screenshot of the menu on the freaking Steam page!

This is, nevertheless, the closest any Gundam game I've ever played has felt like FromSoftware's sublime Armored Core 6.

I thought Warhammer Survivors sounded like a neat spin-off—Vampire Survivors in a Warhammer skin, created by Boltgun developer Auroch Digital.

Everything you dig about Vampire Survivors is here too Weapon evolutions, enemies that drop chests with multiple items, arcana, bosses, challenges, upgrades—if it's in Vampire Survivors, it's probably in Warhammer Survivors, albeit with some Warhammer-themed twists.

I've poured hundreds of hours into Vampire Survivors, and Warhammer Survivors might be a bit trickier.

Ignore the section tag for this article, because while Deadlock may technically have the DNA of a MOBA or a third-person shooter, it is actually a horror game, and a bloody scary one at that.

Ironically I actually voted for the Rat King, and that decision haunts me.

OLED Save $50 AOC Q27GADE: was $329.99 now $279.99 at Amazon Is this the cheapest big-brand OLED gaming monitor money can buy?

This AOC gets the brighter 250 / 1000 nit panel plus 240 Hz refresh for compromise-free OLED gaming.

For proof, look no further than this pair of AOC gaming OLEDs, starting at below $280.

It's very much an entry-level offering in the 27-inch 1440p space with an unusually low 144 Hz refresh rate.

In other words, the AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD2 is currently the cheapest way into what you might call a full-spec gaming OLED right now.

Xanadu Next is a Diablo-esque JRPG originally developed by Nihon Falcom for Nokia N-Gage.

A PC version did release a few months after the N-Gage version, but again, only in Japan.

That PC version reportedly played much, much better than the N-Gage version, as I'm sure you can imagine, but the fact that the game's overarching design was conceived to work across both platforms is what piqued my interest.

Xanadu Next is currently 70% off for the Steam Autumn sale.

The Steam page says it's unsupported by Steam Deck but ignore it: boot the config first, use a community controller profile, and you'll be good to go.

Whatever their qualities, the gentlemen of GTA 5 simply don't have much grace to them.

Of course, in my testing so far, failures happen not mid-backflip but more at the conception of the backflip idea.

Which graphical effect will be crowned the worst in games?

It's down to the final two, and no one—no one—could've guessed the two effects that made it into the final round.

Get your votes in to decide once and for all which effect should be banished from games forever.

We'll find out the winner (loser) later this week.

ExamplesMotion blur You'll have to take my word for it that both of these screenshots were taken as I aimed swiftly to the side in Hunt: Showdown.

Let battle commence.In case you didn't notice by now, October is an exceptionally busy month for game releases. Why? Because every publisher and their nan is scrambling to avoid Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI in November.There are, however, still some games launching in November, perhaps most notably Barbie Rewind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Yes, while GTA 6 is set to upend reality as we know it on 19th November, Ocarina of Time will hit shelves a little earlier on 5th November.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Wuhu Island: Be there or be (Spocco) Square.Back what seems like a lifetime ago, I got a chance to have a pop at Nintendo Switch Sports Resort at gamescom '26. No, I don’t mean the stuff that just anyone with a ticket and the patience to wait in an enormous queue could play. No, I got a chance to play sports that the average Joes could only dream of, like table tennis.I played prop plane, table tennis, archery, thumb wrestling, skateboarding, bowling, and boxing, but not necessarily in that order. I believe people with the patience to tackle the game on the show floor had the chance to play power cruising (discount Wave Race to you and me), and it’s possible I had the option between that an…

The end of the beginning.There was a lot of hype and excitement in the lead-up to 2019's Kingdom Hearts 3. It promised to finally conclude the Dark Seeker Saga that had kicked off way back on the PS2 in 2002. Expectations were sky-high and the final product didn't quite stick the landing, but it did manage to deliver plenty of that sincere Kingdom Hearts magic that kept us invested since the beginning. Now that it's finally come to Switch 2 with a proper native port — no Cloud Versions here — I'm pleased to report that it was largely worth the wait.Narratively, this adventure is very bizarrely paced, with a lot of meaningless detours into unrelated and largely irrelevant Disney stories befo…

The hunt began as a Switch exclusive.Capcom's Monster Hunter series has become an absolute powerhouse over the past two decades and while the company's current focus is on the latest entry Monster Hunter Wilds, it's taken a brief moment this week to provide an update on the sales of the previous release.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Here's what the critics had to say.This week, the Kingdom Hearts series returns to Nintendo's platforms, and this time, it's the proper experience with no drawbacks.The reviews are now rolling in for the native Switch 2 version of the Kingdom Hearts Collection, and so far, the reception is mostly positive.

Fixes have arrived.It's now just over a month since the new anime-inspired co-op title Orbitals landed on the Switch 2 and developer Shapefarm has rolled out a new update.Patch 1.0.5 aims to enhance the overall gameplay experience by addressing multiple bugs and fixing various issues. So, if you've been having problems with collision or the game camera, this update should improve the situation. There's also an adjustment included to make one puzzle "less confusing".Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Wario Where?Earlier this year, Nintendo veteran and WarioWare legend Goro Abe announced that he was leaving the company and taking up a teaching post at the Osaka Electro-Communication University. Roughly seven months on, VGC got the chance to chat with the dev about his post-Nintendo life, and, rather expectedly, games are still very much on his mind.“Making games takes a lot of time, and I knew that based on my age and career that I could not make that many more games in the future,” Abe told VGC. “And I wanted to challenge myself to do other stuff. So I thought it would be interesting to do things that I had never done before, and that’s why I decided to go into teaching.”Read the full a…

As such, when I heard that Mother Gaia Studios' The Posthumous Investigation centred around a time loop, I had to check it out.

The twist is that Brás Cubas, the aforementioned rich guy, is the individual who hired you to look into the murder.

Not only that, but whenever the clock strikes midnight, you're dragged off to Limbo to chat with him about everything you've found out in that particular loop.

You're then thrown back onto the streets of Rio to use the information you collected on the previous loop to interrogate suspects.

It's a great way to make everything you learned in the previous loop feel useful alongside skipping dialogue you've already heard.

- Version: 84.1 - Latest Addition: Sanctum Lord - ArubysThe best heroes you can use in Angel Legion have outstanding skills that you will want to use from the very beginning.

Angel Legion is not that punishing in that regard, as long as your heroes are upgraded, they're quite capable.

However, in the later stages, having a hero who is at the top of our Angel Legion tier list is going to make beating each stage a lot simpler.

Then you should take a look at our Creatures of Sonaria tier list.

It’s understandable why it’s OP; it has an exciting and all-around kit with damage and a long-duration stun.

He is among the most OP champs, although the S-tier rank is for the excellent invisibility skill.

He has the best skill kit with high damage output.

You can summon a turret that knocks enemies around, levitates, and becomes invulnerable to damage while being able to cast skills.

I would recommend it for those who want to abuse one skill and get the most out of their kills.

The series follows four-time NBA Champion Draymond Green through six therapy sessions with sports psychologist Dr. Carrie Hastings.
