Ray-tracing in, but not demoed. Those incredibly clever specs-machines over at Digital Foundry have been hard at work breaking down all the juicy technical details in the wake of Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct, and the news is good for fans of things that are more powerful than the things that preceded them. That's everyone, right? Richard Leadbetter, tech editor over at Digital Foundry, said that he'd expected Nintendo to gently evolve, rather than stage any sort of revolution, but that they'd show...

Try out the new Huntress hybrid class and all the ascendencies.

Krafton's inZoi has reached a major sales milestone just a week after launching in Early Access, the developer has revealed.

Survival games can often be a brutal place, and Rust is no exception. Steam’s top dog in the open-world survival crafting genre has always been a hardcore, ruthless experience - or at least it was until 2021, when developer Facepunch Studios introduced softcore Rust. The alternative, more friendly mode offers a slightly less punishing way to enjoy the multiplayer game with its roughest edges sanded down. Now, the mode is getting an overhaul, alongside some bee improvements and additional quality...

Following the release of rival Anthropic's Claude for Education, OpenAI has announced that its $20 ChatGPT Plus tier will be free for college students until the end of May. The offer comes just in time for final exams and will provide features like OpenAI's most advanced LLM, GPT-4o and an all-new image generation tool.  "We are offering a Plus discount for students on a limited-time basis in the US and Canada," the company wrote in a FAQ. "This is an experimental consumer program and we may or ...

While it still hasn't been announced yet, we've seen that Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition exists thanks to SteamDB and now its rating has improved to be Steam Deck Verified.

Tokyo Drag. Here's a tip for you: don't just dive into Drag x Drive mid-match. After being thrust into a game in progress late in the day during our Nintendo Switch 2 experience, this Mouse Mode-controlled game felt like learning a completely new language. Instead of deftly throwing the ball and shooting hoops in what is essentially Rocket League meets wheelchair basketball, we were fumbling around the court and getting stuck on halfpipes.

Last night I decided to download 2013's DmC: Devil May Cry, one of my favorite action-adventure games ever made. Reviewing South of Midnight whet my appetite for more hacking and slashing, so why not revisit the series that introduced me to the genre - the anime literally just dropped, can you blame me? But, while DmC controversially remains my favorite of the series, Devil May Cry 5 has seen its player count spike overnight, likely a result of the fact that it's currently the same price as the ...

Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 console doesn't actually run the original Switch's games natively, as the two hardwares are incompatible.

I don't know what I expected.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025) is a new gaming laptop 2-in-1 that continues the company's Z13 lineup, and which is still trying to convince the world that a gaming tablet pretending to be a gaming laptop is a winning formula. Helping immensely with this latest addition is the inclusion of AMD's brand new Ryzen AI Max 300 lineup of CPUs, which have stunningly powerful integrated GPUs that unlock new levels of performance for such a compact device. Whether it all adds up to creating one of the best ...

Undertake a quest to battle this bubble-blowing leviathan.

After Nintendo revealed the full details around the Switch 2 this week, Engadget's Sam Rutherford got some hands-on time with the new console. In this episode, he talks about the major improvements in the new hardware (especially that 1080p, 120 fps screen) and why he doesn't really miss the older Switch OLED. Also, Sam discusses his time with Mario Kart World, the new semi-open world version of Nintendo's classic racer. In other news, we dive into the latest updates around the TIkTok ban, and w...

Nintendo’s new console has finally been revealed in full, with magnetically attaching Joy-Cons, a new chat function and a bigger higher-res 7.9-inch screen that supports 120Hz and HDR. Then there are the new Joy-Cons. Alongside larger SL and SR buttons made of metal, the controllers can be disconnected by pressing a more pronounced release button on the back. The big upgrade, though, is using either Joy-Con like a mouse. (And even use them on your pants, if you want to.) The Switch 2 also uses D...

In Apple's iOS 18.4 software update, there's a new Ambient Music feature available in the Control Center options on iPhone. It's free to use, and does not require an Apple Music subscription. It's also more customizable than most users probably realize. Keep reading to learn how. There are four different sound categories to Ambient Music, including Sleep, Chill, Productivity, and Wellbeing. You can add each category individually to your Control Center, and then tap on one to start a playlist of ...

The developers of Tekken 8 will release an "emergency patch" later this month, in response to players furious over the balance changes brought to the game's second season.

Disaster Blaster is a lot more cerebral than it looks.

My dream team is back.

Feast your eyes! Nintendo followed up its jam-packed Switch 2 Direct with an equally jam-packed Treehouse presentation focused solely on gameplay reveals. The first of two livestreams took us through a whole bunch of titles and features heading to Switch 2 at some point this year but, at a little over four hours long, there's every chance that you didn't catch every reveal on first watch. Below, we have provided a breakdown of every gameplay section, so you can pick and choose what you'd like to...

But is that upscaling compared to native rendering like the whole RTX 5070 versus RTX 4090 marketing nonsense?

You've never had chocolate like this.

Krafton's been putting in the hotfix work during launch week.

InZoi - the early access life-sim game from Krafton - debuted at the end of March, and has since passed a record breaking sales milestone for the company.

"He was a creative powerhouse, a friend, and our silly little guy."

New Total War Warhammer 3 patch notes have just rolled out, as Creative Assembly follows up on its recent 6.1 reworks with hotfix 6.1.2. The strategy game developer has taken community feedback on board and made additional adjustments to both of its current focus factions. Kislev gets changes to building, tiering, and tech, while Tzeentch’s Kairos Fateweaver is handed a few more improvements to his kit. CA also addresses a few other issues that it’s currently working on as it looks towards Total...

Originally called Haste: Broken Worlds and now just Haste, it's the latest game from Landfall (Content Warning, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Clustertruck) that ensures you gotta go fast.

The Marvel Rivals team has admitted it's feeling "pressure" to keep the game exciting as it prepares its second season, which boasts a Hellfire Gala theme.

Nintendo has revealed the size of its Switch 2 games, so you can calculate how much storage is required.

I'm curious about InZOI, Krafton's hyper-realistic Sims rival. As someone who grew up playing The Sims: Bustin' Out on repeat, then obsessing over cute animals when The Sims 2's pets DLC released, it's a huge part of my childhood that, in many ways, has been confined to the annals of my history. InZOI, however, breathes new life into the genre, especially given the fact that Project Rene remains shrouded in mystery. Krafton's competitor has piqued the interest of a lot more players than me, howe...

Still the masters of compression. The new Nintendo Switch 2 will come rocking 256GB of internal storage; a massive upgrade from the original Switch. That said, it's inevitable that game file sizes will also increase, but if the first batch of confirmed first-party files sizes are anything to go by, they won't increase that much. As spotted by VGC, file sizes for Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Super Mario Party - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land - ...

If you ever find that you've fallen asleep in a big-shot Hollywood story meeting, and you need something to say that makes it look like you've actually been paying close attention, you could do worse than this. "Whose story is this again?" This question - who is the true focal point of the adventure being pitched? - seems both central to any film and also one of the easiest things to lose track of in the detailing.

Sometimes developers put up blog posts talking about developing their game, but it's not every day you read about how they had to deal with earthquakes, cockroaches and broken bones. And yet, Clumsy Bear Studio still managed to get the Hungry Horrors demo out on Steam.
