Epic have dropped a bunch of details as to planned improvements for the Epic Games Store in the on-going race to out-Steam Steam - the Coca-Cola to Epic's Pepsi Max. Amongst other things, we can expect more robust search features, support for third-party subscriptions, better EGS launcher performance, a download manager with improved controls, and a new "for you" personalisation tab - all of that rolling out across 2024 and 2025. Naturally, Epic will be continuing with their free games program t...

A video purporting to show an unused post-credits scene found within the files of Assassin's Creed Mirage may point to a seismic upcoming shift in series' story. Filenames for the scene reference "Assassin's Creed Neo", an internal Ubisoft codename believed to refer to one of several upcoming projects currently in development. Thus, the big twist revealed here is expected to be something we see more of in future games. For those who'd rather be left unspoiled, this is your last chance to turn aw...

Was Snufkin always so rebellious in the Moomin TV show - or in the comic strip or in the books? I think I skewed a bit old for the TV show when it arrived so I never watched it on purpose. I watched it by accident and quite enjoyed it, but I can't remember anything about it now. All I remember are the doughy faces of the Moomins, with their big eyes and cuddly bodies. I don't remember Snufkin. Was he always a thorn in society's side? Because he is here, in the new game, in Snufkin: Melody of Moo...

It's looking super. Sonic's new 2D adventure, Sonic Superstars, is finally here. The game has released on multiple platforms today, so the choice of where to play is all yours — what a treat! Some of you may already be tucking into the blue blur's latest (and we can't say that we blame you), but if you have been waiting to see how the console versions stack up against each other, then gosh, do we have the video for you. The good folks over on the YouTube channel GameXplain have put together a gr...

What are the Nightingale system requirements? You won't require the efforts of a pixel-pushing GPU before you can get to becoming a highly skilled Realmwalker in Nightingale. You can take on the PVE open-world survival crafting game alone, or with friends, using even the most basic of rigs. However, Inflexion Games does require that you'll need a chonky amount of storage space before you can start adventuring through transdimensional portals in Nightingale, so perhaps one of the best gaming SSDs...

How do you change the Proton version on Steam Deck? The Steam Deck is a powerful piece of tech, which along with being able to play some of the best PC games, is also a formidable desktop PC. Unlike other computers, however, the Steam Deck doesn't run on Windows 11, but on a version of Linux. Although playing the best Steam Deck games seems like a breeze for the device, it has to run Proton, a translation layer between Windows and Linux, to run games at all.

What are the best Meta Quest 3 games? It can be very tricky to know what VR games are worth investing in. Trailers will never truly do them justice in the same way as PC gaming. While you could always refund a bad purchase, we'd prefer to help you avoid that issue altogether by showing you which games are well worth playing.

Yes, you can find shiny Pumpkaboo in Pokémon Go.

Is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 Steam Deck compatible? Playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 on the Steam Deck is as easy as stacking up combos, as the remake of the classic skating games doesn't require decked out specs to run. While we don't yet know how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 runs directly from the Steam platform, its performance via the Epic Games Store bodes well for the Valve handheld. The Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 and 2 system requirements require that you have 19.4GB of install ...

How do you clear the Steam Deck download cache? The Steam Deck is a formidable piece of machinery, capable of being not only a high-powered handheld, but also a competent desktop PC, and overall one of the best options when it comes to playing your PC games on the go. Yet even the best Steam Deck games can struggle when it comes to downloading. While most games will install onto your Steam Deck with no issue, other downloads may stall, and get stuck for hours with no end in sight. Even simple up...

Much like how Huawei developed its own HarmonyOS as an Android substitute, Xiaomi is about to pull a similar move to bolster its ecosystem — especially with its electric car due to arrive in the first of half next year. Dubbed "HyperOS," this MIUI replacement will apparently be a blend of Android and Xiaomi's very own "Vela" system, hence a "completely rewritten underlying architecture" that would supposedly allow users, vehicles and smart home — of over 200 product categories — to connect with ...

Half of Bandcamp's employees have lost their jobs following the company's acquisition by Songtradr, according to SFGate and Variety.

A remaining employee has confirmed Nahmiache's statement to the publication, reporting that half of the company has disappeared from its Slack chatroom and that the account owned by co-founder and former CEO Ethan Diamond...

Third-party developers had some interesting news to share about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, including both aircraft and scenery.

A lot has changed in the two years since Facebook released its Ray Ban-branded smart glasses. Facebook is now called Meta. And its smart glasses also have a new name: the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Two years ago, I was unsure exactly how I felt about the product. The Ray-Ban Stories were the most polished smart glasses I’d tried, but with mediocre camera quality, they felt like more of a novelty than something most people could use.  After a week with the company’s latest $299 sunglasses, they ...

"It feels like the time is right". There's some big news coming out of Elder Scrolls and Fallout creator Bethesda, with the head of publishing Pete Hines calling time on his long-running career at the company. After 24 years of leadership, Hines is retiring and will begin an "exciting new chapter" of his life to explore other interests and passions. He says it wasn't a decision that "came easily or quickly" but after the "incredible launch" of the company's new IP and game Starfield, he felt the...

Following Epic's announcement in August it would give third-party developers 100 percent of revenue for six months of Epic Games Store exclusivity on new games, the company - which laid off 16% of its workforce earlier this month - is now attempting to get developers on its storefront by promising 100% revenue on their back catalogue titles.

From… a frequent James Wan collaborator on the Annabelle movies, even more skeptical question mark?.

Apple is rumored to be introducing a new Apple Pencil as soon as tomorrow, so with a potential announcement on the horizon, we thought we'd round up a list of the features that are said to be coming in the next update. The Current Rumors While we've been hearing about a third-generation ‌Apple Pencil‌ for several months now, it was just this weekend that Japanese site Mac Otakara said that a new model is set to launch imminently. The rumor came in response to another rumor about new iPads. Appar...

League of Legends is undoubtedly a behemoth, standing tall as one of the biggest games on PC years after its release. The community is ever-expanding, and Riot Games isn't slowing its flow of improvements and new content any time soon. While LoL continues to grow, its long list of changes does as well. From more instant, minor bug fixes to phasing out a system that replaces players' Summoner Names, Riot makes regular adjustments to its work.

Just shy of a month after Payday 3 decidedly rocky launch, which left many unable to play the always-online heist shooter, its long-awaited first patch is still nowhere to be seen; developer Starbreeze has announced a second delay for the update, after it "identified some issues that need to be fixed". Payday 3 got off to a decidedly wobbly start last month, with the game drawing criticism for its matchmaking issues, its online-only requirements (proving particularly irksome for solo players for...

A new t-shirt for something called Showdown in the Badlands briefly appeared on Blizzard's Gear Store.

The city builder will use Paradox Mods instead, with in-game integration.

The Steam Next Fest just came to a close, but its diverse game demos live on in our hearts. A little bit of everything was sprinkled into Valve's recent event, from open-world RPGs to fantasy crafting sims. While many of the showcased demos are still available to play now, others are no longer up as developers prepare for their games' full release. To commemorate the Next Fest and talented devs, Steam just revealed its most-played game demos.

Ahead of Cities: Skylines 2's release next week, publisher Paradox Interactive has admitted the city building sequel has "not achieved the [performance] benchmark we targeted". However, rather than delaying the game to remedy those issues the publisher has decided "releasing now is the best way forward". The somewhat astonishing admission was shared in a post on the official Paradox forum, written to address "concerns raised about Cities: Skylines 2 performance" following the publisher's decisio...

Will Shen was at Bethesda for nearly 15 years, serving as a designer on games including Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Starfield.

Apple will introduce a new low-cost 11th-generation iPad tomorrow, according to leaker Majin Bu. Majin Bu claims that the new ‌iPad‌ will have the same design as the 10th-generation model, and that accessories "will be perfectly compatible." Last week, the same leaker claimed that Apple would debut a third-generation Apple Pencil with interchangeable magnetic tips, and today's rumor comes following conflicting reports about products that Apple might be introducing tomorrow. Bloomberg's Mark Gurm...

Psychedelic horror Layers of Fear - the 2023 remake as opposed to the 2016 original - is getting a free new story chapter on 24th October to mark developer Bloober Team's 15th anniversary. Layers of Fear (again, the new one) already featured a decent chunk of new content, of course, reconfiguring the stories of Layers of Fear 1 and 2, as well as the first game's Inheritance DLC, into a single narrative - all spruced up with striking Unreal Engine 5 visuals and new gameplay elements. And then the...
