Lost Ark is getting into the spooky spirit with its new October update, Monster Bash. Live now, the new Monster Bash update gives players "scary new customisation options" and the chance to dress up as witches and demons, as well as new weapons "guaranteed to scare their enemies".

The makers of fresh Soulslike Lords Of The Fallen have taken a strong position against the use of digital rights management software Denuvo, promising players that the game will never dabble with the controversial anti-piracy tech.

Finding any FPS games in this year’s Steam Next Fest demos celebration has been a bit of a nightmare.

That’s why we here at PCGamesN have put together the best FPS games at Steam Next Fest  and beyond in October 2023, and I played eight different games that you should download while you stil...

"Do you hear screaming, or am I having another one of my episodes?". A little less than ten years ago, a port of Borderlands 2 famously launched for Sony’s ailing PS Vita to middling reception. The fact that a then-current game could run at all on a portable was remarkable, but the flat visuals, crashing, and consistently sub 30 FPS performance relegated it to more of a novelty than a version that people would be comfortable playing for hours on end. When Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition was annou...

I recently wrote a story about how Redfall has three players on Steam. Yes, really - you can’t even fill a four-stack during certain times of the day because so few people are playing Arkane’s vampiric FPS adventure. Yet, when I looked up the game’s global search to get some extra context, Google's Keyword Planner spat out a number that genuinely shocked me. Redfall’s global monthly search volume has sat at around an estimated 250,000 since July, which, while nothing compared to the likes of Dia...
