Alibaba is giving people free access to its generative artificial intelligence models that can produce highly realistic videos and images from both text and image input. The company has announced that four variants of its Wan 2.1 series, the latest version of its generative AI technology, are now open source and can be downloaded and modified by users. Researchers, academics and commercial entities can all get them from Alibaba Cloud's ModelScope and Hugging Face platforms, both of which give pe...

The requirements for your PC to feast on the treefrogs of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater tactical espionage action have been revealed. The minimum specs ask for a RTX 2060 Super, same as The Great Troy Bake Off. While this might sound like Delta is following the likes of Indiana Jones And The Great Circle and Star Wars Outlaws in requiring ray tracing, producer Noriaki Okamura told Eurogamer last year that no ray tracing features are included - so the RTX requirement is likely down to Unrea...

Dune: Awakening is releasing May 20th from Funcom, and surprisingly it looks like it may actually be playable on the Steam Deck. That is, unless Funcom decide to put in some anti-cheat that blocks Linux.

Pokémon Go's next season will be named Might and Mastery, and focus on the Legendary kung fu bear Kubfu.

"Nintendo are letting this slide". Scam games on the Switch eShop are all too common of an occurrence these days. They generally tend to target bigger releases (we've seen rip-offs of The Last of Us, TOTK and Pokémon TCG Pocket in recent years), but that's not to say that indie devs are safe from the cloning, as was recently discovered by The Backrooms 1998 developer, Steelkrill. The Backrooms 1998 is a found-footage horror game that launched on the Switch eShop earlier this month, after arrivin...

Ice-Pick Lodge and HypeTrain Digital have announced the release date for upcoming demo-slash-prologue Pathologic 3: Quarantine.

Sonic Rumble, Sega's forthcoming party game for mobile and PC, has been delayed into the spring.

When a genre master returns after years away from the field, you pay attention. Wuxia veteran Tsui Hark, one of the major figures from Hong Kong cinema’s golden age, has returned with the historical fantasy Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants. While he’s worked in many different genres, Condor Heroes marks the sixth consecutive...

Apple is far from saintly, but, compared to its fellow tech giants, it did something right. The company's shareholders have voted to keep its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, following a push by conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), to remove them, Reuters reports. The Center's proposal, Request to Cease DEI Efforts, failed 8.84 billion votes to 210.45 million votes — or about 2.3 percent of the vote.  Many of these programs emerged or expanded...

The Infinity Nikki Eerie Season has begun. Infold Games’ free-to-play fashion game became one of my biggest surprise favorites of 2024. I’ve continued to spend time exploring its world, completing events, and designing new looks even as the likes of Monster Hunter Wilds and Path of Exile 2 have arrived. Indeed, the cozy open-world game is a perfect complement to the more intense, systems-laden offerings of 2025, and it just got a whole-new update along with three free outfits you can claim start...

Grabbing eagerly onto every shred of information, hoping against hope that this time, no, this time, Half-Life 3 might actually be real. I’ve been doing this for 18 years, ever since the credits rolled on Half-Life 2 Episode Two, and like, I imagine, everyone reading this, I’m tired. I want to crawl into a Gordon Freeman-y stasis sleep - wake me up when Half-Life 3 actually happens. On the contrary, I still get a buzz whenever a fresh hint about HL3 slips into the gossip mill. You’ve likely hear...

VBIOS fixes are now here, too, so we should see more actually usable RTX 50-series cards. Neat.

Humble Bundle have launched the Indie Allies 2025 Humble Bundle supporting BIPOC studios and creators via the Xperience Studios charity.

To the blade.

Now that the dust has settled, I'm constantly trying to figure out what's next for Marvel Rivals. Which superheroes are coming? What maps are we getting? What will the next season's theme be? There are plenty of theories for each, but the latest in-game tease has just given us our biggest clue yet. Season 2 is starting in just a few months, and we might already know what to expect.

Forecast for gaming handheld sales in 2025 still far lower than 2023 peak.

With a stable release imminent, join us for one final round of testing.

Partial as I am to a thunderous multiplayer gunfest, I've been firmly in Delta Force's camp since it was revealed in 2023. The bipartisan military junta of Battlefield and Call of Duty is in dire need of a shake-up, and the passion Team Jade seemingly has for Delta Force - a somewhat forgotten series in the West, but a cultural phenomenon in China where the studio is based - made me hopeful its take on big-budget buddy blasting would help change the tune for this particular strand of first-perso...

Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada has responded to a fan on social media criticising the new design of Anna Williams, stating "there will always be people like you".

That's another game with the green tick that you might want to pick up. BallisticNG is a Wipeout, Rollcage and Jet Moto inspired racer that's genuinely good. With the still in-development updates, it's now Steam Deck Verified.

Though key features are missing. Given the immense popularity of Balatro since its launch last year, it was really only a matter of time before it was unofficially ported over to other systems via homebrew modding. Well, that time is upon us, folks. Thanks to Haynster over on Github (via GBATemp), Balatro is now available to play on the Nintendo DS. Installation instructions are available, and you'll need to make sure you have the MicroLUA homebrew development software.

I don't watch a lot of reality TV. While I'm happily wiling away the hours with Taika Waititi's What We Do in the Shadows and Marvel's Agatha All Along, game shows and television drama just don't do it for me. The Boulet Brothers Dragula is the one exception, however. Drag, filth, horror, and glamor collide in a competition that wears its heart on its sleeve, and while I've dropped off since it was locked behind a Shudder subscription, it's easily one of my favorite TV shows. That's why I was so...

Hats off.

This year, Apple is expected to discontinue the iPhone "Plus" device in its iPhone 17 lineup to make way for an ‌iPhone‌ "Air," so-called because of its ultra-thin profile. Below is a compilation of every rumor and leak we have registered from reputable sources thus far about Apple's new entry in its flagship smartphone lineup. ‌iPhone 17‌ "Air"? About the Name There has been some uncertainty about Apple's strategy for the new slimmer ‌iPhone‌ model and its position in the lineup. YouTuber Jon P...

Company of Heroes 3 could be about to mount a comeback. At launch, back in 2023, it felt like the enemies weren’t smart and tactical enough and like a lot of key features were missing. The map selection was pretty slim, the inventory system was basic, and the visuals didn’t seem like that much of a step up compared to CoH 2. With the iconic Commandos series about to make a comeback and Tempest Rising reviving the essence of Command and Conquer, Relic needs to step up its WW2 RTS game. Thankfully...

You should probably keep an eye on your software updater, as the X.Org X server and Xwayland have more security vulnerabilities that have been announced.

Konami has revealed the PC requirements for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

The community-made open-source PlayStation remote play client chiaki-ng has version 1.9.6 out now, bringing with it more improvements to make streaming PlayStation games to other devices even easier.

The long-awaited Path of Exile 2 patch 0.2.0 will bring a major change to one of the most underwhelming parts of its endgame. As it continues to work on the ARPG’s next big update, developer Grinding Gear Games reveals an overhaul to Atlas map towers that should make them a lot more engaging. The change is the latest in a series of announced improvements for the early access RPG as GGG’s new experimental event for PoE 2’s predecessor has players flocking back to the first game.

Last night, Warner Bros shocked the industry when it was announced the closure of three studios, including Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Monolith Productions. Founded in the 1990s and part of Warner Bros since 2004, the studio was best known for Shadow of Mordor and its follow-up Shadow of War, which both used the studio's patented Nemesis system.

A new set of Deadlock patch notes are here, and Valve has made some pretty substantial changes to the game's map. The Steam maker has altered the number of lanes, reworked the layout, and even given you a chance to explore it in peace. That's not all, however, because more mechanical changes have been introduced to Deadlock, essentially turning it into an entirely new experience.

The French developer behind million-selling indie role-player Edge of Eternity has announced a fresh follow-up, Edge of Memories.

Fortune Avenue is Monopoly but not as you know it. A hyped-up and colourful spin on the classic game, with a rather different way to play and it's highly competitive.

Gotta buy 'em all. A new range of backpacks and wallets has gone live on the Pokémon Centre UK website as a result of a new collaboration between The Pokémon Company and Loungefly. Available for purchase now (and two items are already sold out at the time of writing), we're honestly enamoured with these designs. We're not sure about you, but we find collaborations like this often result in quite garish products, but these are really on point.
