The great Cyberpunk 2077 redemption arc of 2023 continues as the CD Projekt Red developed sci-fi RPG claims yet another pair of milestones following the launch of massive expansion, Phantom Liberty, and CDPR’s vast 2.0 overhaul to the base game. The publisher, which also makes The Witcher games, announces that it has reached yet another big sales target, with PC players making up the vast majority of Phantom Liberty players.

Greetings Lampbearer. Next Friday, October 13, sees the launch of Lords of the Fallen, our debut game here at Hexworks, and we hope you have a fantastic time in the epic and terrifying world we’ve spent the last three years carefully and dutifully crafting. Lords of the Fallen is the first action-RPG to be developed...

World's smallest capture card gets a spec bump for 2023. When we reviewed the original Genki Shadowcast back in 2021, we were a little lukewarm on it. While the appeal of a capture card the size of a USB thumb drive needs little explanation, the device was hamstrung by muddy compression and a high level of latency. It felt like a solution in search of a problem, even if we could see some merit in a product that allowed your laptop to double as a portable gaming display. Creator Human Things has ...

‘You know what... that makes sense!’.

Chipzilla is playing all coy with its words but it surely means Windows 12.

Southpaw Games has announced the first paid Skul: The Hero Slayer DLC pack, which will add five new high-skill skulls in November.

Unreal Engine to get more expensive — but not for game developers, CEO Tim Sweeney says.

Hype has been steadily building for the imminent arrival of the Meta Quest 3, but an industry analyst has poured cold water over the impending launch with some shocking allegations about expected sales figures for the VR headset. It looks like the Meta Quest 3 may be on track to sell far fewer units than its predecessor, the Meta Quest 2, in a shocking reveal which dampens hype considerably.

Koei Tecmo has revealed that anime hack-and-slash action RPG Fate/Samurai Remnant has officially reached 300,000 copies shipped worldwide.

No need to Torment your group with a slow, plodding adventure.

The allure of pretty graphics, like the dark side of the Force, can be very powerful

Don't forget to grab the pickaxe first.

The developer maintains that it still has games in the pipeline, though.

As you may recall, earlier this year Blizzard confirmed that Diablo 4 requires players to create new characters each season. And, with season two just around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to let you know how to ensure you don't lose your stash as well as your character. When Diablo 4's current season - Season of the Malignant - comes to an end, players will see their seasonal characters moved over to the Eternal Realm with all their items - but there's a time limit to recover th...

Slay with style.

Ghostwire Tokyo gets a bad rap. This supernatural thriller is a bizarre magical FPS filled with all manner of weird and wonderful creatures, tasking you with uncovering the truth behind a vanished city. It might not be the traditional survival horror we expected from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami’s Tango Gameworks, especially following The Evil Within games, but you shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to try Ghostwire Tokyo for free.

Clearly, we need to put a big celebrity face in the next Witcher game. I nominate David Lynch.

Valve has confirmed it's sticking with the current Steam Deck performance level for a while, so what updates will there be?

Sony has released its own movie streaming app for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. There’s a decent perk for subscribers of PlayStation Plus Premium: Members get access to a library of up to 100 ad-free Sony Pictures films at no extra cost.  Sony says the lineup includes Looper, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, Elysium and Resident Evil Damnation. The company also plans to add some anime content from Crunchyroll to Sony Pictures Core, and it added that benefits for all PS Plus subscribers are on t...

Is Lords of the Fallen crossplay? The burden of being the Dark Crusader need not be one you take on alone, and we know co-op is possible. However, whether you can play the reboot of this Soulslike series with friends who own the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S version is another problem entirely. We already know from the Lords of the Fallen Steam page that playing Lords of the Fallen multiplayer is possible, which also allows for invading other players' games or defending against would-be aggre...

There are two games that I spent far too much time on as a kid: Zoo Tycoon and World of Warcraft - in fact, I still spend too much time on WoW as an adult. So, imagine my face when I discovered Fantastic Haven, a Steam management sim that channels elements of both of my childhood favorites.

Microsoft plans to finally buy Activision Blizzard for $68.7bn next Friday, 13th October, according to a fresh report from The Verge. That date is still contingent on the UK's Competition and Markets Authority giving the deal an official green light - though the regulator has already signalled it is likely to do so. The CMA has until 18th October to weigh in with its final decision, following a deadline today for feedback on the deal's revised form - now Microsoft has agreed to sell off streamin...

Having hollowed out the Asteroid of Co-Op (Resource) Extraction FPS, Ghost Ship are sinking their drills into the Planet of Roguelite. The just-announced Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is a crafty feat of genre-splicing in which one to four dwarven miners investigate an alien world whose "core has gone rogue". As in the original Deep Rock Galactic, which we loved, you'll be tunnelling down and fighting critters (exact species TBA) while harvesting precious ores. But this time, there's no returni...

Land of the Vikings seems right up my alley, and it may just be up yours as well if you enjoy city-builders like Cities Skylines or the thrill of survival experiences like Valheim. The game has been out in early access for a little while now, but developer Laps Games and publisher Iceberg Interactive have now shared an exclusive reveal of the full release with PCGamesN.

Is there a chameleon? Devolver Digital has announced KarmaZoo for the Switch, a co-op platformer for up to ten players, launching next month on November 14th, 2023. It boasts some rather lovely pixel-art visuals enhanced with lighting effects and flashes of bold colours, but the true draw here is the co=op gameplay itself. You'll be matched with randomly selected players online and you'll need to work together to boost your karma, helping your teammates overcome obstacles or even sacrifice yours...

It's not that there's anything actually wrong with Payday 3. The levels are well-designed, encouraging the kind of outside-the-box thinking that rewards both the bold and the curious. The effervescent glee you feel each time you saunter past a security camera with a sports bag stuffed full of money on your back is unrivalled, and for those opting for a less stealthy approach, the gunplay – if requiring a little acclimation at first – is punchy and impactful. The trouble with Payday 3, though, is...

LG panel tech seems to be holding up better after four months.

Apple sometimes releases new iPads in the fall, but a question mark remains over whether that will happen in 2023. We're now into October, and if Apple plans to release iPads before the holidays, this is the month it will most likely happen. Here's what we know so far. It's been almost a year since Apple released a new iPad, the last being the two refreshed iPad Pro models and the latest low-cost ‌iPad‌, all released in October 2022. Going on recent tradition, new models are now long overdue. If...

Final Fantasy 14 players have been analysing a pair of legs in a bid to work out the next playable race to be added to the game. Earlier this week, the game's latest patch (6.5) was released and in its ending cutscene there's a pair of legs that appear to be from a potential new playable race. Reddit user Drbiohazmat has datamined the legs to find out some more detail: the legs have hair all over, a unique running and jumping animation, and a hole where a tail should be.

PlayStation has launched the Sony Pictures Core app on PS4 and PS5, which allows users to buy and rent Sony films from their consoles. The app is the successor to Bravia Core, which is currently available on Sony's Bravia TVs and Xperia devices. Up to 2000 films will be available through Sony Pictures Core. Users of the app will also be able to buy select Sony Pictures films during an exclusive, earlier period. In select regions including the UK, France, Germany, and Japan, the first film which ...

The ninth-century Baghdad of Assassin’s Creed Mirage isn’t very big, at least in relative terms. As the follow-up to a trio of recent entries that saw the series expand its settings from individual historical cities to huge swathes of entire countries, Mirage is notable in large part for its restraint.

Where are the Assassin’s Creed Mirage weapons? As a graduate assassin, Basim has an expanding arsenal of swords and daggers at his disposal. We've scoured all of Baghdad and beyond to bring you a complete list of AC Mirage weapons and their effects, as well as their locations. It’s worth noting that some AC Mirage weapons can only be accessed until after specific AC Mirage missions, while others are locked behind DLC paywalls. However, the vast majority can be found within gear chests in specifi...

There can be no doubting the resurgence of Dungeons and Dragons over the last few years. It has once again stepped into the pop culture spotlight, and few video games, with the exception of Baldur's Gate 3, have managed to capitalize on this. Enter, Dungeons of Eternity.

It appears Telltale Games, known for its popular The Wolf Among Us and excellent The Walking Dead episodic games, hasn't been able to escape the financial pressures hitting video game studios as of late. In a post on X, Former Telltale Games employee Jonah Huang, shared that he and most of his colleagues were let go in September. The news follows a slew of recent layoffs in the gaming industry from companies such as Naughty Dog, Blizzard, Epic Games and Twitch.  This is a sore subject, but I fee...
