Это отражение того, чем, как мы надеемся, становится Netflix: местом, где самые амбициозные истории в любых форматах могут найти крупнейшую аудиторию.

В честь анонса актёр рассказал о своём герое.

В Epic Games Store началась новая еженедельная раздача игр — в этот раз пользователи могут добавить в библиотеку два тайтла до 13 августа включительно.

Минимальная комиссия и быстрое зачисление денег на счёт.

Мне так сильно хотелось поработать над GTA VI, и я, должно быть, прошёл пробы для более чем 60 персонажей.

Мне было всё равно, я просто хотел оказаться в игре.

Но у меня ничего не вышло, и Rockstar не связалась со мной ни по одной из ролей.

Я был очень разочарован и думал, что, возможно, у них есть неофициальное правило не задействовать актёров снова.

Я размышлял: «Неужели вы мне откажете 60 раз?

Зарубежный прокат ленты стартует 25 сентября.

Mojang Studios без лишнего шума объявила, что версия Minecraft для Nintendo Switch 2 увидит свет в середине осени — 27 октября.

На Switch 2 Minecraft будет поддерживать улучшенную графику Vibrant Visuals с более проработанным освещением, объёмным туманом, динамическими тенями и так далее.

Содержимое эксклюзивного для консолей Nintendo набора Super Mario Mash-Up тоже получит визуальный апгрейд.

Для обладателей Minecraft для первой Switch предусмотрен апгрейд до SW2-варианта, но подробностей об этом пока нет.

Помимо Switch, Minecraft доступна на следующих актуальных платформах: ПК, PlayStation, Xbox и мобильных устройствах.

Инди-издательство Devolver Digital стало публичной компанией в ноябре 2021-го с выходом на альтернативный инвестиционный рынок (AIM) Лондонской фондовой биржи.

Devolver Digital разослала своим акционерам послание, в котором рассказала о планах отменить допуск своих акций к торгам на AIM.

И действительно: при выходе на биржу Devolver Digital оценили в 950 миллионов долларов, но с тех пор цена её акций обвалилась на 96,27 %.

Переход «деволверов» в частные руки позволит сэкономить около 1,6 миллиона долларов в год, считают в компании.

Из послания DDНапомним, Devolver Digital — американское издательство из Техаса, основанное в 2009 году.

В июне разработчики из S-GAME обещали выкатить новый трейлер Phantom Blade Zero когда-то летом и тогда же начать сбор предзаказов.

11-минутный трейлер и предзаказы стартуют в 05:00 по Москве.

Ранее в S-GAME планировали организовать отдельный выпуск State of Play для Phantom Blade Zero на 15-20 минут, который должен состояться когда-то после старта предзакаов.

Также девелоперы похвалились, что разработка Phantom Blade Zero завершена.

Релиз ролевого экшена на ПК (Steam, Epic Games Store) и PlayStation 5 намечен на 29 октября.

GTA 6 выйдет 19 ноября на PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series c текстовым переводом на русский язык.

По слухам, релиз PC-версии состоится в феврале 2027-го.

В российских магазинах стандартное издание GTA 6 обойдётся в 10 тысяч рублей.

Ранее ветеран Rockstar объяснил, почему GTA 6 выйдет сначала на консолях, а только после этого на PC.

По его словам, разработчики сначала делают игру под ограничения PS5 и Xbox Series, а уже потом будут расширять её под возможности PC — так проще.

На PC в Steam состоялся релиз Kindawn: The Parish Remembers — якутского хоррора про Крайний Север в начале «нулевых». Приобрести новинку студии ArchReality можно за 465 рублей.

Инсайдеры нашли в Marvel Rivals файлы, которые указывают на появление в игре транспортных средств.

Один из авторов утечек даже показал предварительные наработки, которые показались фанатам слишком нереалистичными, но инсайдер заверил, что файлы настоящие.

Правда, пока всё выглядит слишком сыро.

В сообществе отметили, что у нескольких персонажей есть «гоночные» скины Formula R, а транспорт могут добавить для отдельного гоночного режима.

Однако на данный момент никакой официальной информации по этому поводу нет.

Создатели Alien: Isolation 2 рассказали, что большую роль на игру оказала картина «Чужой» 1979 года.

Как именно она повлияла, расскажут 30 августа.

Представители студии выступят на Frightfest, где ответят на вопросы сообщества.

Они обещают раскрыть больше подробностей об игре, но пока детали о ней остаются неизвестны.

Creative Assembly и SEGA также представят Alien: Isolation 2 на выставке gamescom 2026.

Обложка: скриншот Marvel Tokon: Fighting SoulsРазработчики Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls опубликовали два новых гайда.

Руководствами обзавелись Дэдпул и Карнаж.

Дэдпул усиливает атаки, нанося урон себе, метает зажигательные гранаты, использует двойные пистолеты, а также выстраивает комбо из атак катанами.

Ультимативный скил призывает целую команду Дэдпулов, которые не оставляют противникам шансов на выживаниеКарнаж атакует оппонентов когтями и щупальцами, а также накладывает негативные эффекты.

Комментатором на трансляции будет Бен Старр — звезда Final Fantasy 16 и Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Издатель планирует раскрыть информацию о платформах, а также сроках выхода игр, запланированных на 2027 и 2028 годы.

Издательство Kinetic Publishing, основанное разработчиками Phasmophobia , проведёт презентацию 12 августа в 22 по МСК.

«Мы были поражены проектами, которые увидели с момента основания Kinetic Publishing.

Роберт Бог, сыгравший коррумпированного агента ФРБ Стива Хейнса в Grand Theft Auto V, не смог получить роль в Grand Theft Auto VI.

Обложка: постер Path of ExileРазработчики Path of Exile работают над обновлением 3.30, и основной упор в нём будет на эндгейм-контент.

Представитель студии пообещал, что изменения будут очень заметными.

«Мы планируем охватить как можно больше существующих механик лиги и дать им всем что-то новое, что-то интересное, что-то отличное от того, что было раньше», — сказал Кристофер «Октавиан» Лаферьер.

До выхода обновления остаётся четыре месяца, и Лаферьер уверяет, что оно будет невероятно масштабным.

По словам разработчика, все в команде понимают, насколько устаревшим кажется эндгейм в данный момент, поэтому студия сосредоточилась именно на нём.

«Недавно я закончил писать еще несколько эпизодов в последней трети шестой главы и переставил комнаты, чтобы они соответствовали новой структуре.

Как только все корректировки будут внесены, мы сможем пройти черновой вариант главы от начала до конца.

Если не будет серьёзных изменений структуры, останется доделать босса и катсцены».

Накануне Helldivers 2 получила загадочный тизер под названием Face the Unknown.

Так разработчики анонсировали обновление, которое выйдет 12 августа.

В ролике показали плюшевого медведя в броне, летящего в открытом космосе.

Фанаты предполагают, что новинки обновления могут быть связаны со вселенной Warhammer 40,000, поскольку в ту же дату игра получит тематический варбонд.

Официально же разработчики пока не дают дополнительной информации.

Компания Nintendo обновила официальные данные о продажах своих консолей и игр.

По состоянию на 30 июня 2026 года гибридная Switch 2, вышедшая в начале июня 2025 года, разошлась тиражом 23,68 млн устройств.

Из них одна только Mario Kart World разошлась тиражом более 15,3 млн копий.

Тираж Pokemon Pokopia превысил 5 млн копий, а Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream — 7,94 млн копий (уже, похоже, 8 млн).

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, выпущенная в мае, и Star Fox (2026), выпущенная в июне, «показали стабильные результаты».

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a game that manages to challenge the player without becoming exhausting, allowing the game to shift naturally between moments of intense concentration and opportunities to simply enjoy stylish swordplay.

Resident Evil and Monster Hunter maker Capcom has said it won't see much of an impact from the death of physical game sales, as the vast majority of its titles are already sold digitally.

Wall Street moneyfolk are not having a good time.

Halo studios appear to have cut an unspecified number of staff following the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved last week.

Halo Studios' parent company Microsoft, lest we forget, laid off around 1600 workers in early July, while parting ways with several of the studios that had been under their umbrella.

"After 6.5 years working on Halo and dodging just as many rounds of layoffs - it has finally caught up to me," Halo Studios producer Nick Treitman wrote in a recent post.

Meanwhile, Paul Morris - a scrum master on Campaign Evolved with previous producing credits The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered and Forza Motorsport 7, shared a similar story.

"Today, I learned my time at Halo Studios will be …

The report, by Taiwanese newspaper DigiTimes and partially translated by TweakTown, effectively suggests that the large-scale supply of new RAM chips is already tapped out until 2028, likely extinguishing any lingering hopes that PC RAM, storage, and graphics cards will escape their current pricing nightmare anytime soon.

This is the latest in a miserable streak of bad tidings for the ongoing components crisis.

The article does say that NAND, storage hardware also made by all three firms, is in marginally better shape, with some 2027 output still available.

However, any trickle-down effect that diversified supply is likely to have on consumer PC parts will be slow at best.

Frankly, it’s als…

The restored recap video menu - labelled 'Events' in-game, but dubbed 'Storybook' by its restorer - lives in the glossary section of The Witcher 3's main menu, next to the bestiary.

"So, special shout-out to Fabian for originally starting this project and I'm glad I was able to finish what he started."

Each has a description and title written by CD Projekt Red, which the studio had even gone as far as localising into different languages.

He's also said more about how The Lost Wild compares to the game Napper is best known for, Creative Assembly and Sega's Alien: Isolation.

I've been wondering about connections between The Lost Wild and the abandoned Everwild since reading Napper's thoughts from June about wanting players to "respect" The Lost Wild's dinosaurs.

In any case, I find The Lost Wild more "honest" as a portrayal of creaturely coexistence, because there's some antagonism between you and the beasties you're encouraged to "respect", not kill.

Look out for a full Lost Wild interview feature soon.

Anyway, you can find The Lost Wild on Steam.

Noise is the most prolific killer on Tau Ceti IV, and almost every successful evasion I’ve conducted over 200 hours with Marathon was a silent withdrawal.

If you’re hearing the former, and didn’t trigger it yourself, you know an enemy player is near.

On a higher level still, I’ve become aware of the invisible rhythms that govern the movement of players across Marathon’s three main zones.

At a certain point, these flare-ups become self-fulfilling, as bloodthirsty players head for hotspots in the hope of getting into a scrap.

Static Hour is a spooky narrative simulation designed to give journalists a god complex, or at least, aggravate the ones we already have.

Beast of Reincarnation, the soulslike about a girl and her dog battling an array of beasties in post-apocalyptic Japan, came out yesterday, August 4th.

Game Freak announced on the socials earlier today, August 5th, that they're "currently planning a series of continuous updates" for the person and pet action RPG.

It'll include some "story pacing improvements", which Game Freak say are part of "ongoing adjustments" they've got planned, giving the impression that revamping Beast of Reincarnation's tale to the textent you can post-release will be a long-term mission.

According to new estimates, Call of Duty's recent Black Ops 1 and 2 PlayStation ports have sold incredibly well in such a short while.

Black Ops 2 was far and away the biggest of the two, selling 8.2 million copies, leaving just 3 million to Black Ops 1.

As for the split between console generations, Alinea estimates that 93 percent of Black Ops 2's copies were sold on PS5, with just 7 percent on PS4.

The original Black Ops has a similar split, with 94 percent on PS4 and 6 percent on PS4.

Alinea analyst Rhys Elliott offered some notable data on the cohort who flocked to buy the Black Ops ports.

Rockstar Games and Take Two have announced that an "extended look" trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 will premiere first on Netflix on Thursday, the 27th August, at 3pm ET (8pm BST).

Following this, the Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look trailer will also be released on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto 6 site at 9pm ET (2am BST) on the 27th August.

As for the release timing of this extended look, it comes as a ravenous hunger for more Grand Theft Auto 6 information has been growing fiercer.

By this point in the Red Dead Redemption 2 or Grand Theft Auto 5 pre-release life cycle, hands-off previews were already out online.

As such, impressions of Grand Theft…

The comment comes from a question asked of the company in the Q&A portion of its latest financial report.

One investor asked "what impact do you anticipate from the shrinking physical game market in the medium to long term?"

and it seems Capcom is not too concerned about the shift to an all-digital future.

Capcom is the latest company to respond to Sony's controversial decision, following other publishers like Sega, which noted it believes "a digital shift is crucial" to the longevity of the games industry.

The shift to digital is largely detrimental to the end user, however, as various analysts have proven games are almost always cheaper in physical stores.

Roblox has published earnings for its second financial quarter, revealing a significant decline almost across the board.

The company's disappointing quarter caused its stock price to drop by more than a quarter - nearly 27 percent - since the announcement on 31st July.

The monthly unique players number was also down to 27 million, from 37 million two quarters prior.

This has had an understandably dramatic effect on Roblox share price, which has tumbled 70 percent over the last year, wiping billions off the company's valuation.

Roblox share price is currently hovering around $36, a far cry from the highs of $125+ a year ago.

We don't know the team, we don't know the game, and we don't know what to expect.

The best place is to start at the beginning, with the creator of the game, Maxim Verehin.

It is, quite clearly, Ill. That visual style in the game is Verehin all over.

It surprises me to hear Verehin reference Valve's seminal story-based shooter Half-Life 2 as an inspiration, and numerous times.

Mundfish states: "All assets going into the production build of the game (game objects, audio files, materials, texture maps, lighting elements, shaders, VFX emitters, etc.)

Halo Studios appears to have been hit with layoffs, just only a week after the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved.

Paul Morris, a "scrum master" at Halo Studios, wrote: "Today, I learned my time at Halo Studios will be coming to an end following the successful launch of our latest game, Halo: Campaign Evolved.

The remaining 1,600 would be cut throughout this financial year, leaving companies like Halo Studios still in the crosshairs for continued cuts in the near future.

Halo: Campaign Evolved has seemingly performed well: the game reviewed largely positively among critics, though official sales figures have not been released for the remake quite yet.

Campaign Evolved is present on Game Pass…

On Wednesday, the developer officially confirmed a 27th October release date for the Switch 2 version.

While existing owners of the game on Switch 1 will be able to upgrade to the Switch 2 version, the upgrade does not appear to be free.

Mojang is calling it Vibrant Visuals, and it's essentially a bundle of visual upgrades like enhanced lighting and shadow effects.

Marketplace content does, for the most part, support Vibrant Visuals, which is great news if you have a library of mods.

The Nintendo-exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up pack will benefit from the Vibrant Visuals upgrade, at least.

According to billbil-kun, Diablo 4 is set to be released in the middle of September on Switch 2.

This also suggests the physical version won't include a Game-Key Card, removing the customer's ability to re-sell the game.

Billbil-kun also revealed the Switch 2 version of Diablo 4 will cost £63 / $70 / €70.

Given how close we are to the leaked release date, when can we expect an official announcement?

The show takes place 12th-13th September, and given the leaked release dates, the developer could be planning a shadow-drop-style announcement to kick off the event.

This announcement came via the official Gears of War X account, which wrote that the PvP versus modes will be available starting this weekend, during the early access period of the open beta.

It also clarified that the expected horde mode will also be available.

To lay this out plainly, the open beta starts on the 6th August for early access players (those who have pre-ordered the game).

The first two days will still be without PvP versus, with the mode being introduced starting on 8th August.

The PvP versus mode has been an enticing mystery for Gears fans, who have been demanding some hands-on time with the mode for a little while.

Пять лет назад инди-издатель Devolver Digital провел листинг на Альтернативном инвестиционном рынке (AIM) при Лондонской фондовой бирже, став публичной организацией.

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven6 августа Devolver Digital связалась со своими инвесторами и предложила им проголосовать за уход с биржи.

Статус частной компании позволит команде Devolver Digital, особенно руководству и сотрудникам финансового и юридического отделов, сосредоточиться исключительно на обеспечении долгосрочного процветания компании.

Halo Studios недавно столкнулась с сокращением штата.

Об этом пишет портал Insider Gaming со ссылкой на посты бывших сотрудников студии в LinkedIn.

Halo: Campaign EvolvedТочный масштаб увольнений в Halo Studios неизвестен, но, по всей видимости, он относительно небольшой.

Незадолго до увольнений Halo Studios выпустила свою новую игру — Halo: Campaign Evolved.

По оценкам Alinea Analytics, к началу августа Halo: Campaign Evolved продалась тиражом в 1,4 млн копий с учетом апгрейдов Game Pass-версии.

The Eternal Life of GoldmanО взятии полумиллионной отметки студия Weappy Studio и издатель THQ Nordic объявили на странице игры в Steam.

Они уточнили, что в это число входят вишлисты со всех платформ: помимо магазина Valve игру сейчас можно добавить в список желаемого на PlayStation и Xbox.

The Eternal Life of Goldman — это двухмерный платформер с мультяшной графикой, нарисованной вручную.

Холдинг инвестировал в разработчиков несколько раз: в 2021 году (1,4 млн долларов) и в 2024 году (сумма не раскрывалась).

Ранее Weappy Studio отметилась играми Rebel Cops, Hollywood Animal и серией This is a Police.

Компания King отклонила предложение профсоюзов Unionen и Sveriges Ingenjorer заключить так называемый «коллективный договор» с сотрудниками, которые работают в ее шведском филиале.

Как сообщает Kotaku, обычно в таких договорах прописаны трудовые условия для команд.

Например, на какие льготы те могут претендовать, сколько часов в неделю работать и многое другое.

Первая заключается в том, что топ-менеджеры считают уже действующие в King льготы более выгодными для сотрудников — разработчикам и так предлагают частную медицинскую страховку и расширенную пенсионную программу, а также оплачивают им длительные больничные и отпуска по уходу за ребенком.

Тем не менее в King выразили готовность больше…

У компании Flutter Entertainment перестановки в руководстве.

Она объявила, что генеральный директор Питер Джексон (Peter Jackson) решил покинуть свой пост после восьми лет у руля.

Сообщается, что Джексона сменит Дэн Тейлор (Dan Taylor) — президент международного направления компании.

Новость об отставке Джексона появилась через два дня после того, как акции Flutter Entertainment перестали торговаться на бирже в Лондоне.

Под руководством Джексона Flutter Entertainment приобрела FanDuel в мае 2018-го, а вскоре провела ребрендинг — прежде она называлась Paddy Power Betfair.

Очередь публиковать финансовый отчет дошла до Nintendo.

Японская компания в своем документе озвучила итоги первого квартала фискального 2027-го, который завершился у нее 30 июня 2026-го.

Steam установил очередной рекорд по количеству релизов, Nintendo подмяла под себя японские чарты, а целый ворох среднебюджетных проектов и инди-игр продались тиражом в сотни тысяч копий.

Для оценки продаж, выручки и других метрик мы опирались не только на официальные данные от разработчиков и издателей, но и на информацию из сторонних источников.

25 релизов продались тиражом больше 100 тысяч копий, а свыше 100 преодолели отметку в 10 тысяч копий.

Далее мы рассмотрим показатели главных релизов и разбавим эту информацию данными по консольному рынку в Великобритании (GfK) и Японии (Famitsu).

В свежем документе компания компания рассказала о результатах первого квартала фискального 2026-го (апрель-июнь).

This Game Costs 200 DollarsВ интервью с WMUR-TV разработчик рассказал, что в принципе не рассчитывал на продажи тайтла.

Тем не менее Мейджеру удалось продать 6 717 копий This Game Costs 200 Dollars.

Благодаря этому валовая выручка This Game Costs 200 Dollars составила впечатляющие 1,34 млн долларов.

Любопытно, что в большинстве своем геймеры даже не запускали This Game Costs 200 Dollars.

По мнению автора This Game Costs 200 Dollars, геймеры специально покупали игру, чтобы тут же сделать рефанд.

Escape the BackroomsСвежесозданная студия, как и сама Secret Mode, расположилась в Великобритании.

В интервью изданию GamesIndustry вице-президент по технологиям и операциям Secret Mode Дэн Секкер (Dan Secker) рассказал, что решение о запуске студии назревало давно.

Secret Mode была основана в 2020 году и долгое время входила в состав Sumo Group.

Помимо Chained Together и Escape the Backrooms в портфолио Secret Mode находятся такие игры, как Still Wakes the …

This is the second article in our series analysing the potential impact of the new Employment Rights Act (ERA) 2025 on games businesses operating within the UK.

Those are exactly the questions many games businesses will soon need to answer.

Employment tribunals are likely to ask a much tougher question: has this employer done everything they could reasonably have done to prevent sexual harassment from occurring?

Games businesses should expect much greater scrutiny of the effectiveness of their anti-harassment measures, rather than just their existence.

Since April 6, 2026, disclosures relating to sexual harassment can qualify as protected disclosures under the UK's whistleblowing legislatio…

Indie publisher Devolver Digital is looking to once again become a private company later this year.

If investors vote yes, then Devolver will cease to be a publicly-traded company on September 16.

Devolver initially went public on the AIM in November 2021 with a valuation of £694.6 million ($950 million).

Going private is also estimated to save the company around $1.6 million per year.

"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

Original Switch software sales rose 38.6% in Q1 to 33.81 million units, driven by Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, which sold 7.94 million units since its April launch.

Chris Rose, publishing production manager at Kinetic Publishing, added: "We've been blown away by the projects we've seen since Kinetic Publishing began.

Raptor PR has launched Early Gaming Growth (EGG), a communications platform designed for gaming startups.

Indie publisher Secret Mode has set up a new internal development studio in Sheffield to support the label's line-up of games, starting with recent hit Escape the Backrooms and Chained Together, which Secret Mode acquired in June.

Secret Mode itself is based in Leamington Spa, but Sheffield "just made sense" for the studio.

He says that Secret Mode Sheffield wants to retain strong links to the universities in Sheffield.

"We're not departing from Secret Mode," he says.

As a development studio, we can be more open-minded to the way that the publisher needs a development studio to work – so we can actually understand what's driving the work that we're doing and serve their needs better."

Co-development studio Vertpaint has appointed former Sumo Group co-founder and CEO Carl Cavers OBE as non-executive director and shareholder.

"Carl chose to join Vertpaint because of what he saw: our people, our culture, our values and our ambition.

Vertpaint is working on original horror IP Ritual Tides alongside its codev work.

It's on working with studios that value long-term collaboration and want a partner they can rely on.

He also highlighted how Cavers' experience will provide Vertpaint with "invaluable insight as we enter our next stage of growth."

The platform also provides creators with early access to playtests and unreleased content for multiplatform titles, including those from launch partners IO Interactive and Brain Jar Games.

Creators.gg describes the platform as a "battle pass for streaming", as creators post content, track views, and unlock rewards as they achieve viewership milestones.

"Our goal with Creators.gg is to build closer, more rewarding relationships between content creators and game makers," said FirstLook CEO Eden Chen.

Here’s my ranking of the toughest battles in Final Fantasy Tactics and some tips for how to beat them.

Fovoham WindflatsWhy it’s hard: Any fight against a character with Holy Knight abilities is bullshit, and the game throws this one at you super early.

What to do about it: This is the one battle I’ve never tried to beat without cheese.

Final Fantasy Tactics loves these little duels but they completely subvert the normal strategies the game usually incentivizes.

What to do about it: Not to sound like a broken record but you can try to break Wiegraf’s sword.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Schofield’s last big game was 2022’s Dead Space-like The Callisto Protocol.

But the last time Schofield went to the publisher to talk Dead Space, it wasn’t interested.

“I went to [EA] recently and they’re like no, we’re not interested anymore,” Schofield told IGN.

“I said, ‘I can get back the leadership team.’ I need the models from [Dead Space remake developer] EA Motive, and I can save you 30 to 40 million dollars on the idea that I have.

It’s well-documented that when an RTX 5090 is running at full tilt, it can end up melting the 12VHPWR connector due to its wattage-guzzling attributes.

Fearing that the same fate will befall his GPU, one user has developed an open-source tool that automatically shuts down the PC if it detects that the graphics card is drawing too much juice.

The open-source tool is also lightweight on system resources, as the RTX 5090 owner says that it’s only 35MB in size and only utilizes 1 percent of a CPU’s single core.

In short, if you value your ASUS Astral version of the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090, you’d probably want to get this tool up and running.

Even though OpenAI claimed at the time that it was able to implement this steep discount after extracting additional architectural efficiencies from its models, most interpreted the move as its opening gambit in a price war aimed at China's AI labs.

Perhaps DeepSeek has bitten off more than what it can chew at this time, giving OpenAI a much-needed win in its nascent price war.

However, that material has now been removed, and if you try accessing the page where the company recommends Windows 11 users have 32GB, you’ll be met with a 404 error.

Instead, by visiting the Wayback Machine, we were able to unearth the previous Windows 11 requirements, which were first published on November 28, 2025.

Without any program or browser opened, our Windows 11 machine with 32GB RAM was consuming 7.8GB of it.

Fortunately, Microsoft’s President of Windows and Devices, Pav…

The new monitors are the ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace and ROG Strix XG259QNSR-W Ace.

NVIDIA has just outlined its packed August 2026 GeForce NOW lineup: 26 PC games are set to arrive on the cloud gaming service throughout the month, with eight titles joining this week alone.

The centerpiece of this weekly update is World of Warships: Legends, now available on GeForce NOW, bringing its free-to-play naval combat to the service without requiring any local installs.

It's admittedly a solid list, although it lacks a few big games like Star Wars: Zero Company, Beast of Reincarnation, and MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls.

About the author: With over two decades of experience in gaming journalism, Alessio Palumbo has led the gaming vertical at Wccftech since August 2015.

AMD has enabled support for GFX1171 in Mesa 26.3, adding another GPU target under the RDNA 4m family.

One of the latest developments comes in the Mesa 26.3 graphics driver, where developers have added support for GFX1171, which is another GPU target under the RDNA 4m family.

The GFX1171 is hardware that belongs to the RDNA 4m family, if you are aware of the recent graphics driver changes.

AMD first introduced GFX1170 earlier this year, followed by GFX1171 and GFX1172, and all three targets share the same RDNA 4m classification.

This indicates that AMD is simply expanding the support for multiple hardware variants rather than introducing new graphics features.

GIGABYTE Debuts AORUS P1600W 80+ Titanium Modular PCIe 5.1 AI TOP for AI Systems and Powerful PC BuildsFollowing the debut at Computex 2026, GIGABYTE has officially introduced the AORUS P1600W 80 Plus Titanium Modular PCIe 5.1 AI TOP, which is its latest flagship power supply for local AI systems and high-end gaming PCs.

Following increasingly loud rumors that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) would finally get an extended look later this month, Rockstar Games has now confirmed that that will happen on Thursday, August 27, three weeks from today.

It also established an initial 2025 release window for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X versions of GTA VI.

Just four days later, on May 6, 2025, Rockstar released the second official trailer.

This provided a substantially broader look at the game, and the studio also refreshed the game's official website with 70 screenshots and new descriptions of its characters and locations.

The next major change came on November 6, 2025, when Rockstar delayed the game again, th…

After a strong hype-driven start, Monster Hunter Wilds sales slowed as fans complained about several issues, starting with the game's performance.

Here's the quote from the Q&A portion of the recent Q1 2027 earnings call:Ongoing enhancements to the technical performance of Monster Hunter Wilds have led to sales for the game improving.

We have also seen a response to the announcement of the upcoming massive expansion, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, and related pricing measures.

Moreover, a Nintendo Switch 2 version is officially in development, opening up Monster Hunter Wilds to another audience.

On the monster front, CAPCOM has confirmed the return of Elder Dragons Kushala Daora and Lao-…

Fortunately, an independent developer has taken matters into his own hands through Adrenaline, his own frame generation tool for the Mac.

Firstly, the Mac app doesn’t need to bypass anti-cheat or rely on developer integration since it operates through Apple’s external screen capture, called ScreenCaptureKit.

It can also be used to run Windows games using CrossOver, but when you have dedicated apps like Lossless Frame Generation, there’s really not much need for anything else.

Also, because the developer used RIFE (Real-Time Intermediate Flow Estimation), an open-source, AI-based deep learning model, the version was converted to Apple’s Core ML format when running Adrenaline.

The one feature that defines the PS5 Pro is the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaler.

However, some games that haven't been updated still only support the first version of the upscaler, relying on the system's "Enhance PSSR Image Quality" toggle to improve image quality.

According to a report on the ResetERA forums, Sony started sending invites to test out a new PlayStation 5 System Software update.

"The 'Enhance PSSR Image Quality' feature is now enabled by default.

Besides improving system software performance and stability, and a few minor changes for the Turn Off Bluetooth feature for some regions, the new PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro beta system software update …

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.

MSI provided us with one of the latest AMD Ryzen motherboard models for review, which is more interesting than it seems. The motherboard is from the refreshed MAX line, so we can be sure it's a mature design with multiple improvements.

The MAG X870E GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI not only has a long name, but it's a budget-friendly model based on the currently highest AMD chipset. In short, we get more for less. In this article, I will assess whether the new MSI motherboard is suitable for gamers and other demanding users.

Recently, we reviewed the XPG LANCER RGB memory kit at 6400MT/s; this time, we take a closer look at the lower-frequency version of the same series, rated at 6000MT/s and featuring a tight EXPO profile. The presented memory kit promises great results with AMD Ryzen processors, which we will test with one of the most popular gaming processors: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

Today's review presents the ADATA XPG LANCER RGB memory, which is already well-known among gamers and overclockers. However, the tested memory kit is rated at 6400 MT/s and uses a dual-rank design, making it perfect for the most popular AMD Ryzen processors with stronger memory controllers. As expected, it's equipped with EXPO memory profiles compatible with the latest AMD chipsets.

Our next stop was down the hall at ADATA, which shared several cool items, including enterprise storage solutions under the Trusta bran,d including AI scaling software, cool new Novajey RGB DIMMs, the Cyborg power supply with the new GPU Power Guard technooogy, and the Levante View Pro 360 AIO, among other items... even two chairs (Nimbus and Nimbus Plus).

Our first stop was at the Venetian to meet with MSI. Inside the ballroom, a wide variety of products was on display. MSI Claw 8+ Glacier Blue edition, Raider 16 Max Gaming laptop, new Wifi 7 mesh system, Spatium M571 DLP SSD, among a slew of other items.

A look into my design process for The Immortal John Triptych.

I’m making a house interior for my Renaissance-paintings-come-to-life style adventure game, Death of the Reprobate (one of three critically-acclaimed titles in The Immortal John Triptych) and I’ve ended up with more doors than I anticipated.

Also, I’m trying to keep this game small (that didn’t work out), so I’m now in urgent need of a dead end.

It’s time to see if we can add some interaction, The Immortal John Triptych is meant to be a game after all.

The Immortal John Triptych, for better or for worse, with my most sincere apologies, will be available on XBOX August 27.

Like thisLaunching September 24 on PlayStation 5, Silent Hill: Townfall marks the latest entry in the iconic psychological horror franchise.

There were times when we’d take photos outside and think, “We’re literally standing in Silent Hill right now…”Okamoto: Silent Hill frequently collaborates with development studios worldwide.

The fact that both Silent Hill: Townfall and Silent Hill: The Short Message ended up in first-person was purely coincidental.

For Silent Hill: Townfall, a first-person viewpoint was an indispensable foundation for integrating the mechanics around the CRTV device.

McKellan: The endings in Silent Hill: Townfall aren’t determined by a simple binary choice at the end.

The line between supernatural horrors and the psychological struggles of characters is often blurred between Silent Hill games, but it might never have been as hazy as it is in Silent Hill: Townfall.

Like thisHello everyone, I am Takeshi Yamanaka, Producer of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls.

Earlier today at San Diego Comic-Con, we hosted the panel “MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls — Behind the Battle.” where we shared several new announcements and updates about the game.

Phoenix Cyclops confirmed as the first year 1 additional characterPlay VideoWe’re excited to announce that Phoenix Cyclops (voiced by Ray Chase), will be the first additional character joining MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls as part of Year 1 content.

In MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, however, this version of Cyclops draws inspiration from his Phoenix Five incarnation from Avengers vs. X-Men, sporting a bold new look infused with…

Take it from me, a gamer rocking the last-gen Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super and still loving life: your rig doesn't need the most bleeding edge graphics card.

That's especially true when the 50-series cards can easily set you back many more smackers than Nvidia's MSRP.

Case in point, Nvidia set up 'Verified Priority Access IRL' at its QuakeCon booth this year, offering attendees the chance to buy either the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, or RTX 5070 Founders Edition for MSRP "while supplies last".

After a nearly 19-hour flight—with a self-transfer—I could rock up to Nvidia's booth only to find it sold out of RTX 5090s.

Uh, so yes, the tip here is either 'get good' or make a really cool rig if …

Baldur's Gate 3 is known for being, well, smutty—so much so that when the game first came out, we were in fierce, rigorous, masterful debates over it (stop giggling).

The game has a lot of sensual scenes, but it also comes with a streamer-friendly mode to cover up all the jiblets and tatas.

A streamer-friendly mode that failed, briefly, on one of Larian's own streams.

Which, that being the reward for an honour mode playthrough, does seem a little denigrating of the badge of honour.

Anyway, Larian's not been given the boot permanently—both channels are back up, it's just this stream in particular that was shut down.

After years of speculation, after reams of fan theories and screenshot analysis, we'll be finally getting a full look at Grand Theft Auto 6 on… hold on, Netflix?

This news comes courtesy of the site itself, which has a preview page that reads: "Coming August 27: See an extended look at Grand Theft Auto 6, the next evolution in the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto series."

Which is technically true for a documentary about Grand Theft Auto 6, I guess—but very much not true of the game itself.

The first look will nonetheless be debuting, as mentioned above, on August 27 at 9 pm EST / August 28 at 2 am BST.

And, hey—if you're excited about GTA 6, you'll finally get to see it!

It's not even been two months since its launch, yet someone has already made a faceplate that doubles up as a charging stand for the Steam Controller.

As shared on the Steam Machine subreddit, user NefariousnessWhole25 has shared their faceplate concept.

The puck is a small, well, puck that comes with the Steam Controller that functions both as a charger and as a connector to your PC.

One commenter calls it "slightly ugly, and insanely functional", and that seems like a pretty fair description.

(Image credit: Future)It solves one small issue I'd personally have using the Steam Controller day-to-day: the lack of a charging stand.

The Steam Controller has a pretty niche feature called Grip Sense, which is a pair of capacitive touch sensors inside the handles that can sense when you are touching them.

Activating and deactivating gyro controls to recenter your hand is reportedly called "ratcheting".

we have found a few other cool use cases, like using it to bring up a weapon wheel, map, or menu."

You can even adjust Grip Sense sensitivity if you find the controls a little hard to hit.

Personally, if I were lucky enough to have got my hands on the Steam Controller, I'd be using this feature straightaway.

| Onimusha: Way of the Sword exclusive preview - YouTube Watch OnDuring my world-exclusive hands-on preview of Onimusha: Way of the Sword in Capcom's headquarters in Osaka, Japan, I interviewed the animation director, Hiroshi Yugen, about creating the incredible sword-fighting animations for the game.

So we were paired together with an expert who knows about sword fight choreography and has provided that kind of service for a lot of different famous movies and dramas."

Now, clicking on the link address to the support document redirects you to the Windows Learning Center instead.

Interestingly, Microsoft, in a separate support document, declared 32 GB to be the "no-worries" upgrade back in May, and that support document has since been deleted too.

Two separate documents that recommend 32 GB of memory being taken down is certainly strange behaviour, and implies it wasn't just an accident.

Microsoft seemed to remove the 8 GB memory option in the 7th-generation Microsoft Surface and Microsoft Surface Pro 12th edition, which are the previous versions of both laptops.

16 GB of memory is fine for most games, but 32 GB is ideal, especially for less casual gamers.

Moonlighter is a hybrid of management sim and roguelite dungeon crawl in the vein of Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.

That mileage is currently good value, because right now you can add Moonlighter to your Steam account for free.

Moonlighter 2 adds more Hades to the formula, as Sam Desatoff noted in our preview, writing, "It’s impossible not to see the touch of Hades in Moonlighter 2's combat (it's isometric now!

But it's still embedded in a town full of locals to befriend, to throw some Stardew Valley into the blend.

If it's the sequel you're more interested in, you can download a demo from Moonlighter 2's Steam page.

And I mean that literally: it's impossible to get very far in Big Walk alone.

But does Big Walk have matchmaking that will pair you up with a gaggle of strangers?

To play Big Walk, you'll need to make sure in advance that you have friends who want to play it.

Latest Videos From PC Gamer Watch full video here:To play Big Walk you'll need to either host a game or join someone else's game.

It could be worth hitting up the Big Walk subreddit where there's already a dedicated thread for matching up, or the PC Gamer forums.

A Bethesda Insider Explains What Changed | Nate Purkeypile - YouTube Watch OnDuring his time at Bethesda Nate Purkeypile was an artist on Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Starfield, as well as lead artist on Fallout 76.

With Bethesda finally making the long-rumored news of a Fallout 3 remaster official, naturally that came up.

"I'm personally looking forward to that," he said, "because we were like super tech-constrained making Fallout 3.

The Fallout 3 Bethesda released wasn't really what they'd hoped it would be at the time, he went on to say.

Purkeypile is in favour of the kind of modern remaster that goes a bit further into remake territory, though.

Graphics AcceleratorWhat happens to the big western blockbuster after GTA 6?

Singleplayer GTA games, on the other hand, are best known for their edginess, their immersive, simulated cities, and their immersive, realistic graphics.

But here's what I think happens afterwards: western studios, the ones still operating healthily, will go on developing their games within their comparatively limited scopes.

Outlier philistines will gripe online that they don't look as good as GTA 6, but most people won't care.

Then, two or three months later, until the next GTA Online comes out, GTA 6 will be forgotten, its existence taken for granted.

Luke Dale, best known to gamers as Hans Capon in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, is trying his hand at something new: Serving food and drinks at a medieval tavern in Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic.

He was inspired to finally take the leap with Nobleman by his love of Prague, and the Czech Republic in general.

And so for me, this project and creating this tavern is like a love letter to Prague," he said.

"You know, my girlfriend is Czech, my dog is Czech, and so much of my identity has been influenced by this culture.

Dale said in July that the success of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series hasn't led to new roles in games, so instead he's shifted focus to streaming.

Every Metroid ranked.The original Famicom Disk System Metroid turns 40 today. To celebrate this milestone, we're publishing various Metroid articles this week discussing Samus' past, present, and future. Today we're republishing this ranked list of the bounty hunter's best (and worst least-best) games.Remember, this ranking is based on the games' User Ratings in our database and is subject to real-time change even now.

"Approximately 90% of our unit sales are digital".The idea of a potential all-digital future is still very much doing the rounds at the moment, with Sony confirming that it will be ceasing the production of PS5 discs from January 2028 (and if you thought it might reverse course, think again).One company that doesn't seem too fussed about such an eventuality is Capcom. During a Q&A session for its latest financial release, it was asked what kind of impact it anticipates from the shrinking physical media market. The answer? Basically no impact at all.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

We like to Party.Nintendo's latest financials are live along with updated lists of the firm's best-selling software (as of June 2026), and a familiar face has popped onto the Switch 2 best-seller list.The laboriously titled Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV has sold 1.15 million copies according to Nintendo's data - an especially impressive feat when you consider that this only counts the physical NSW2 Edition, not any digital copies.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Dreams really do come true.Nintendo has confirmed that Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has already sold over 8 million copies following its launch on 16th April 2026.Now, in terms of a specific figure, 7.94 million units were sold during the first quarter of FY2027 – so that's April, May, and June of 2026. However, Nintendo has specifically highlighted that, as of 5th August 2026, total sales have now exceeded 8 million.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

The BSOATs, if you will.Nintendo's latest financial report is out, which means it's time for an updated look at the best-selling Switch 1 and 2 games so far.Starting with the Switch 1, the order in the list remains unchanged from the previous quarter, and really, pretty much all of the entries have clocked up another couple 100 thousand units each, so there's not a great deal to highlight here.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Link... wake up.As part of its latest financial release, Nintendo has once again reconfirmed the release windows for its upcoming first-party line-up.It's looking pretty healthy, and there are certainly some big-hitters on the horizon with Zelda: Ocarina of Time later this year, then Pokémon Winds & Waves and Xenoblade Genesis in 2027. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is sure to be a big hit amongst more casual fans, while Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave – which was showcased in its own Direct earlier this week – commands a sizeable fan base.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Price hikes took effect in May in Japan.Nintendo has released its latest financial report for the first three months of FY2027, confirming that the Switch 2 has now sold a total of 23.68 million units as of 30th June 2026 (surpassing GameCube at 21.74 million).3.82 million Switch 2 consoles were shifted during the first quarter, representing a decrease of 34.4% year-on-year. While that might sound alarming, Nintendo stresses that the adoption rate is still significantly outpacing the original Switch. The decrease itself, meanwhile, can be attributed to the high launch sales in 2025 and the subsequent price increase that took effect in Japan earlier this year.Read the full article on nintend…

We ask the App ArmyHypnospace Outlaw is a fascinating game, as I wrote about in my recent feature.

Hypnospace Outlaw takes you back to the earlier days of the World Wide Web.

You work for the Hypnospace Patrol Department to essentially catch the bad guys on the internet.

What truly makes this game special is the amount of detail that was poured into creating this simulated environment.

Hypnospace Outlaw’s unique experience is really unlike any other I’ve come across, and that alone makes this a must-play.

It just swaps the shoebox for a screen, and it is about to get a lot more screens to do it on.

Developer Meteor Pixel and publisher Weekend Games have announced that Little Corners is coming to iOS and Android alongside Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, later this year.

That's where AV Access thinks it has a solution.

If you're constantly playing cable roulette between a work laptop and gaming PC, the company's iDock B10 KVM docking station aims to make switching between the two far less of a hassle.

To back up those claims, AV Access has shared the results of its own hands-on testing.

During the testing period, AV Access says it didn't encounter display blackouts, signal dropouts, or disconnects affecting the shared USB peripherals.

AV Access says the laptop successfully drove a mixed dual-monitor setup consisting of one 4K 60Hz display and one 1440p 60Hz display.

Bloodless is a new retro brawler coming soon to AndroidPlay as Tomoe, a samurai turned ronin who's sworn off killingInstead, you'll be breaking bones with just your fists and powerful ki techniquesLooking for a fast-paced retro brawler on mobile?

And Bloodless, set to arrive in early September on Google Play, also offers an intriguing twist on the usual revenge story.

Set in the fictional world of Bakugawa, you play as the renegade samurai Tomoe, who used to loyally serve Shogun Akechi.

Personally, the art style of Bloodless really stood out to me.

We all know by now how much I love retro graphics and pixels, but the colours are what really sets Bloodless apart.

Master Duel has been a bit of a hit for fans on mobile.

That's why it's celebrating 100 million cumulative downloads with some enticing new rewards.

As you might expect, the big draw for fans new and old alike to check in on Master Duel is the latest login bonuses.

Master Duel, you'll also find the addition of new alternate and extended art versions of cards such as Super Polymerisation, Elemental Hero Stratos and Wake Up Your Elemental Hero.

And while I've heard that Master Duel has its issues (what digital CCG doesn't?

With pre-registration now open, Transformers: Eternal War is a character-collecting RPG featuring the classic designs of the Transformers cast, both Decepticon and Autobot alike.

And while Transformers: Eternal War doesn't seem to offer much that stands out from the crowd in gameplay terms, I've no doubt seeing classic characters will return will be a major selling point.

Unseen Reality’s crowdfunding campaign for URXR One surpassed $500,000 within 24 hours of launch yesterday, showing clear demand for the company’s first slim and light mixed reality glasses.

Now, just 24 hours later, and URXR One has garnered over $590,000 with 44 days to go in the campaign.

Unseen Reality says units are scheduled to ship in Fall 2026.

Beyond Frames Entertainment is the main publisher behind many of Combat Waffle Studios’ VR titles, including Ghosts of Tabor (2024), Silent North (2025), and GRIM (2025).

Now the VR games publisher announced it’s selling off publishing rights of all three titles for a total of $1 million.

The company’s press statement doesn’t specify the games’ new publisher, which isn’t a legal requirement in the EU.

Over the last few years, I’ve learned that a publishing agreement is about far more than what’s written on paper.

More recently, Combat Waffle self-published a legacy version of Ghosts of Tabor on August 1st, which essentially rewinds a number of post-2024 content updates, many of which have d…

Cybercore Protocol is a mixed reality action game that blends elements of tower defense, wave shooters, and melee combat games into something not wholly unique, yet undeniably fun.

: A mixed reality action game that blends elements of tower defense, shooters, and melee combat games.

I've played this sort of game before, most memorably in Mythic Realms, a mixed reality game that similarly transformed your living space.

I expected Cybercore Protocol to be (basically) the same, just with a sci-fi skin.

Unlike Mythic Realms, Cybercore Protocol lacks an overworld to explore, it has virtually no story, and it's not a roguelite.

Combat Waffle Studios' Ghosts of Tabor, Grim, and Silent North will soon have a new publisher as original publisher Beyond Frames is selling the publishing rights to a new company for $1 million.

For the record, Legacy lists Combat Waffle as both developer and publisher.

Combat Waffle already announced layoffs earlier this year.

In the end, this sale would appear to put both Beyond Frames and Combat Waffle in a better position moving forward.

Beyond Frames can move on to new investments and Combat Waffle will presumably, from Albright's words, get a publisher more aligned with its goals.

System Critical 3 does not shy away from its old-school arcade inspirations, but it ends up being what is assuredly one of the worst VR games in recent years.

The NewsAccording to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is working to turn its future smart glasses and XR headsets into health and fitness devices.

Mighty Coconut returns to Walkabout Mini Golf's ongoing Evil Lairs series with Gloop Lair, its next DLC course, due out August 13.

Gloop Lair is the fourth of six planned add-on courses for Walkabout in 2026, following Tiki à Coco, Passport Hollywood, and Blokhaven.

Valve’s ‘Great on Frame’ page highlights games specifically optimized for Steam Frame, and it’s now grown to over 50 titles.

‘Great on Frame’ initially kicked off last month with a half-dozen titles guaranteed to be optimized for Steam Frame, which wasn’t exactly encouraging, although now the curated portal—similar to Great on Deck—features 50+ games and apps.

Notably, a majority of the ‘Great on Frame’ titles are native VR games (as you might expect), although there’s a growing number of flatscreen-only titles that have been recently added too, including smash hits like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Portal 2, and Hades to name a few.

And while it’s an encouraging sign, there’s still no telling …
