Why do you need a Minecraft VPN? Playing Minecraft is never better than when you’re playing with friends in a world that is inevitably going to end up experiencing a massive amount of destruction and rebuilding. The game has become a cultural fixture, a go-to title for a generation of gamers who grew up with online gaming, though as with all online games, there are certain risks involved if you don't use a VPN, and several benefits if you do. With the Minecraft system requirements being low enou...

Valve released a great sounding new update to Proton Experimental on April 4th, to help get more Windows games running correctly on Linux platforms like Steam Deck.

US pre-order postponement woes. In the wake of Nintendo's decision to delay opening its Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the US following upheaval and uncertainty around newly-imposed tariffs, the company has seen a 10% drop in its Tokyo-listed shares, reports Bloomberg. Nintendo made the call to hold off on opening pre-orders in the US last week, after Donald Trump's latest tariffs on, well, everything that isn't American, it seems. Markets across the globe have been similarly affected as compan...

Bungie has announced that it's planning to reveal the first gameplay for extraction shooter reboot Marathon later this week.

A spooky dish for all year round.

The new Bind Spectre skill turns the action RPG into undead Pokémon.

If you've got a gaming handheld but want to get it hooked up to an external display or expand your storage, we've found a great docking station deal that's perfect for just about every portable from the Steam Deck to the ROG Ally X and many more. If you own any of the best handheld gaming PCs but want to use them with an external monitor, external SSD, or even just some wired PC peripherals, a docking station is the best way to do this. While being docked takes away the portability of the Steam ...

I’d wager that when you think of a soulslike, a fantasy medieval setting comes to mind - clashing steel, mythical creatures, and giant gothic-inspired castles are what I think of, that’s for sure. But ever since FromSoftware birthed an entire genre with Demon’s and Dark Souls, there have been plenty of developers taking soulslikes to new places. Back in 2023 Gunfire Games did just that with Remnant 2, and now you can grab it on Steam for the cheapest it’s ever been.

Clips of an unfinished version of A Minecraft Movie have started making the rounds online.

Minecraft movie audiences are going feral over a moment in the film where Jason Momoa fights a baby zombie riding a chicken.

That's over a proprietary connector, but a slower USB Type-C variant is also planned.

What reheated hell is this?

Dress to impress. As you might have expected, last week's Switch 2 Direct was absolutely jam-packed with information about Nintendo's upcoming console, but it looks like there might have been an Easter Egg or two that passed us by on an initial watch. For example, if we asked you to tell us something noteworthy about the presenters'/developers' outfits, and we insisted that you didn't comment on the size of Kawamoto's jacket, what would you say? Would you be able to tell us that they were dresse...

It's the Vega 56 days all over again.

It’s not fully symmetrical, but in classic Command and Conquer, there is still an evenness between the two factions. The GDI’s units are generally weaker, but they’re also cheaper and faster to build. NOD has better defensive structures, like the fearsome Obelisk, but its heavy tanks are slow and expensive. It’s that subtle dance between one side and the other that gives C&C its rhythm. Dust Front, a new RTS with grand strategy elements, takes that neat balancing and blows it into a thousand pie...

Move over, Mario.

Apple has filed a legal appeal against a UK government order requiring the company to create a "back door" to its encrypted cloud storage systems, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) confirmed on Monday. The high-profile challenge follows reports earlier this year that the UK used its Investigatory Powers Act to demand secret access to encrypted user data uploaded to iCloud worldwide. Apple responded by removing its Advanced Data Protection feature from the UK rather than compromising its se...

As behemoth live service shooters struggle to retain audiences with seasonal events and "classic" modes that sometimes just channel nostalgia, one small PvP shooter is simply plugging away adding map after map after map after map. Straftat, the 1v1 online FPS that sees you duke it out with a friendfoe in cramped concrete arenas, has just added another 35 deathpits to its rotating menu of shooty locales. It now has 226 maps on which to kill and be killed. That is beautiful. That is sublime. That ...

Microsoft has created a playable demo "inspired" by Quake 2 using its new AI tool, but it's practically unplayable.

Apple is likely to take a multi-pronged approach to manage the impact of impending tariffs on its products, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The company faces looming challenges, as new tariffs will affect not just China-based production but also the very countries Apple has diversified into. The upcoming tariffs range from 20% to 46% across Apple's global manufacturing hubs. India, where Apple increasingly builds iPhones and AirPods, will face a 26% tariff. Vietnam, which produces AirPods,...

He "trained us in all of their practices".

There's enough for everyone, right? It seems as though the official Japanese Nintendo eShop and online store have been struggling with high traffic numbers since the Switch 2 was fully unveiled during last week's rather epic Direct. As noticed over on r/NintendoSwitch, the official Japanese Nintendo website now has an apology message at the top, which has been handily translated in the comments (shoutout to Reddit user Joseki100) so we can all see what it means!

Another dish to master.

Path of Exile 2 developer Grinding Gear Games is addressing the mountain of player concerns that emerged with the changes in update 0.2.0. Between problems with the new Huntress class, Minions, area scope, and a general sentiment that the game is too slow, GGG has its work cut out. Luckily, a handful of problems have already been fixed. Now, the team outlines what it's working on next.

Apple's rumored new smart home hub command center that was expected this year could be delayed, pushing its release all the way to 2026, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman revealed that Apple is "considering a delay until 2026" for the new smart home device. The main reason for the potential postponement is reportedly tied to "major engineering hiccups" with the revamped Siri voice assistant that will power the device. Initially, Apple had hoped to re...

Half Sword is to medieval games what Hell Let Loose is to the WW2 FPS - while Chivalry, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and Mount and Blade have excellent, larger-scale combat, in Half Sword, the difference between life and death is represented by a single slash. Get a clean hit on your opponent, or take a proper blow yourself, and it’s light out; combined with the meticulously designed blood and body physics, that system makes Half Sword one of the most eagerly awaited sword-and-shield brawlers on ...

Japanese game stocks have dropped following the announcement of major tariffs on trade to the US.

The First Descendant was yet another one of 2024's 'flavor of the month' games. Reaching an all-time peak of 264,860 players, its numbers have been slowly but surely declining, now only reaching 11k at peak. As of April 3, however, recent reviews have hit 'mostly negative,' with a meager 36% of responses in the positive. Things aren't looking great for Nexon's sci-fi shooter.
