Pocketpair have announced that sometime real soon you'll be able to team up with players across different platforms in the popular monster catcher Palworld.

Just announced from Red Thread Games (Dreamfall Chapters, Draugen, Dustborn) is Hello Sunshine, a mysterious survival game where you're following a truly massive robot and keeping to their shadow to not get fried by the sun.

At WWDC 2024, Apple announced Swift Assist, an AI-powered coding companion integrated into Xcode 16 that's designed to assist developers by generating code from natural language prompts. At the time, Apple said Swift Assist would be coming "later this year." We're now three months into 2025, and it's nowhere to be seen. Swift Assist (Image: Apple) Unlike Apple Intelligence, Swift Assist never appeared in beta. Apple hasn't announced that it's been delayed or cancelled. The company has since rele...

The Mac Studio is Apple’s ultimate performance computer, but this year’s model came with a twist: It’s equipped with either an M4 Max or an M3 Ultra processor. The latter might seem like a step backward, since nearly all Macs (except the Mac Pro) are now equipped with M4 chips. However, the M3 Ultra is indeed Apple’s best-performing processor, which makes the new Mac Studio its fastest computer ever. While the M3 Ultra model appears highly capable for creative pros and engineers, it starts at $4...

Looks like an engineering sample.

I love a game that features some kind of cooking element, so I was quite pleased yesterday when Humble Games revealed they're publishing Town Of Zoz, a new action RPG that's all about fighting off rats from eating your crops, taking down baddies to gather up ingredients, and using said ingredients and crops to make some tasty meals. It's got wonderfully vibrant art and animation. The announcement trailer quickly won me over with the choppy, almost stop-motion-like quality of certain character mo...

That's a lotta Rings. If you cast your mind back to last year's arrival of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in cinemas, you might remember that SEGA created an all-new Genesis cart as a neat bit of promotion. The cart itself didn't contain anything too special (character images, posters and a small minigame), but it was a working cart and it was rare. So you know what that means... Yep, one of these promotional carts has now popped up on eBay with an eye-watering $28,000 price tag attached. The seller, grj4...

The Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 PTS has arrived, and you can get an early look at some of the big beats of patch 7.0 right now. The new public test server lets anyone dive in and try the next Space Marine 2 update either solo or in multiplayer. To start with, Saber Interactive is trialling its upcoming overhaul, which includes a new PvE map, adjustments to weapon restrictions and perks, PvP matchmaking improvements, and a new secondary weapon, the iconic 40k Inferno Pistol.

Sony has quietly expanded the cloud streaming feature on its PS Portal handheld to include a number of games from its Classics Catalogue.

Blizzard's doing it right.

I went to CES with Engadget for the first time this year and, among the robots, laptops, TVs and more robots, the most exciting products I saw were ones trying to make our homes more eco-friendly in the most low-effort ways possible. I saw an induction stove, a window-mounted heat pump, a battery back-up system and a few other promising appliances — these are user installable, work with standard 120V outlets and do their part in lowering a home’s carbon footprint. A couple are coming to market t...

Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time series is no stranger to making bold calls about its source material. While it more or less follows the same arc as the books, the first episodes of season 1 alone opened up the world to a totally new interpretation of prophecy and character potential. Since then, it has...

A few weeks back, a new AI generated content disclosure appeared on the Call Of Duty Steam page, reading "our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game assets". This followed several months of community speculation over whether the FPS was using such tools to fever-dream up cosmetics, and a Wired report (paywalled) in which an anonymous artist alleged that the 'Yokai's Wrath' premium pack used genAI assets, via PC Gamer. As a disclosure, it's better than nothing, but only barely...

While never officially announced by Bethesda, rumours of an Unreal Engine 5 remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have been circling the proverbial dialogue pie since 2023, surfacing first via an alleged developer, then leaked court documents. Edwin wrote about its potential improvements to combat here, while noting that the same leaked documents also mentioned both a Fallout 3 remaster and Dishonored 3. This might well either prime you with a healthy dose of scepticism, or else have you runn...

Spectre Divide developer Mountaintop is taking the game offline, and the studio will be "closing its doors" at the end of this week.

I couldn't tell you why Nintendo has left Star Fox to rot with the likes of Kid Icarus, while other series like Advance Wars have made a comeback (no shade to Advance Wars fans), but it has. Chuhai Labs are here to save the day with Wild Blue, an upcoming on-rails shooter just revealed yesterday at the Humble Games Showcase. The teaser itself didn't show a lick of gameplay, but it's worth noting that Chuhai Labs were founded by Giles Goddard, one of the programmers for the original Star Fox on S...

From Balatro and Zet Zillions to Cobalt Core and Wildfrost, we’ve seen a vast expansion of the best roguelike deckbuilders in recent years. But all eyes are on Slay the Spire 2. The pioneering genre champion remains a tough act to top even to this day, and its sequel promises to build on developer Mega Crit’s creation with new classes, more cards, and a wealth of enemies to put your decks to the test. In a new blog, the studio reveals how it’s splashing a tiny bit of RPG into StS 2 with the intr...

It's a fact: Pokémon Go is much easier to play in a city or large town. There are more gyms and PokéStop locations to interact with, more Pokémon that spawn, more fellow players to battle alongside.

Some good industry news for you today. Moon Studios who made Ori and the Blind Forest, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and their current Early Access game No Rest for the Wicked have gone "fully independent".

Let me entertain a world where we play old FF14 all over again.

It hasn't even begun airing yet, but The Last of Us season two is already breaking records.

Bazzite Linux, a popular choice for people wanting to put Linux on their handhelds or living room PC, is getting two new editions designed to help developers.

Balatro developer Locathunk has responded to a debate on AI art, stating "I think it does real harm to artists of all kinds".

We’ve uncovered a genuinely incredible gaming monitor deal on Amazon right now, enabling you to pick up a great screen for just $99, saving you 38% on the usual price.

This price of $99 is the lowest we’ve ever seen for this Asus monitor, and represents incredible value for...

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has issued its final verdict on the state of the country's mobile browser market, concluding that Apple's policies are largely responsible for hampering competition and innovation. The CMA's independent inquiry group's investigation found that Apple's requirement for all iOS browsers to use its WebKit engine is stifling competition, and effectively prevents rival browsers from introducing unique features or optimizations on iPhones and iPads, rega...

A game that continues to review well by players, with it hitting a good sales milestone not long after launch, The Spell Brigade from Bolt Blaster Games has a big update out now with a brand new character.

The Humble Games Showcase 2025 just recently went live and with it we have some new game announcements and trailers. So here's what you might have missed to keep you up to date.

Get ready for Tanuki Kabuki. We had a great time with the stunning metroidvania Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus when it launched on Switch last year and now, it seems, the adventure is set to get even bigger. Announced during yesterday's Humble Games Showcase 2025, developer Squid Shock Studios shared an all-new trailer for the metroidvania, showcasing its upcoming 'Tanuki Kabuki' DLC. This one is set to arrive on Steam at some point in 2025, with a Switch release to be announced "at a later date", a...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will in fact be compatible with the Steam Deck, Ubisoft say, despite a previous tech Q&A on the sneaky-stabby ninja sim declaring point-blank that it won’t. Announced on whatever the fuck Twitter is these days, the confirmation that Shadows will play nice with the Deck comes as a pleasant surprise – even without that prior naysaying, games with a GTX 1070 listed among the minimum specs typically don’t cope too well on the handheld’s frugal hardware.

Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to feature a significant design overhaul, and a new image apparently taken on an assembly line for the unreleased devices appears to confirm the biggest rumored change. Render of an iPhone 17 Pro model shared by Jon Prosser The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are rumored to adopt a horizontal camera bar reminiscent of Google's Pixel series, and this bar is expected to span the width of the device's back, housing the triangular triple-camera ...

Parents shouldn't let their children play Roblox if they are worried about their kids' safety in-game, Roblox boss Dave Baszucki has said.

With the launch of the desktop Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 reportedly imminent, several new retail leaks now suggest that the first gaming laptops with laptop-grade RTX 5060 GPUs could be ready to launch in early May. This would be an important launch one for gamers, as we’d expect these laptops to be budget-friendly when they launch in the US. Nvidia uses the same naming structure for both its laptop and desktop GPUs, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re equal in performance, and you will...

Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy will star posthumously in Netflix's Devil May Cry anime series.

When you make your way out of the cabin in the woods at the end of a production cycle, what happens next? With the release of Slay The Princess: The Pristine Cut DLC, I asked Black Tabby Games developers Tony Howard-Aris and Abby Howard about the game's past and present, as well as the future of Black Tabby Games, and even some very important lore about the Voices.

In a surprise turnaround after previously stating the Steam Deck would not be supported for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft have now said it actually will be.
