11 bit studios has announced Frostpunk: 1886, a remake of the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine 5 with new mechanics and systems.

"Your invitation email may arrive after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch". Nintendo has provided an update for those who have registered their interest in purchasing the Switch 2 directly from the My Nintendo Store in the US. Much like Japan, Nintendo is currently experiencing "very high demand", and has therefore noted that delivery by the launch day on 5th June is "not guaranteed". Adding further salt to the wound, it's also stated that some invitation emails might not even arrive until after the ...

In case you're wondering how Moore's Law is doing, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (TSMC) just unveiled its latest 1.4-nanometer (nm) A14 process that will enter production in 2028. The technology promises a 15 percent performance boost, plus a 30 percent reduction in power draw compared to 2nm processors set to go into production later in 2025, TSMC said. The 1.4nm tech is likely to be used in processors for Apple, Intel and AMD. The performance gains are thanks to a 20 percent logic d...

New data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) suggests Apple's iPhone 16e is off to a strong start, capturing 7% of U.S. iPhone sales in its first partial quarter of availability. The new mid-range offering outperformed the iPhone SE's share from the same quarter last year. The entire iPhone 16 lineup, now consisting of five models with the addition of the 16e, accounted for 74% of total U.S. iPhone sales in the March 2025 quarter. It's a marked increase from the 68% share held by...

Though it’s not required to play (or own) RoboCop Rogue City before getting into Unfinished Business, you’re more than welcome to. Unfinished Business starts with a group of mercenaries tearing into the Metro West precinct, leaving after...

Strava has had a few new developments recently, including buying personalized running plan app Runna. Now, it has launched a new training feature for distance runners called Performance Predictions, which gives estimated finish times for difference race lengths.  The app will now offer possible times for a 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon — so, now, it's not only your own goals you have to live up to but Strava's as well. No pressure. Strava is providing these predictions using a machine lear...

Grand Theft Auto 5 remains the top-streamed game on Twitch, the Amazon-owned platform announced Thursday. Broadcasters streamed more than 25.8 million hours of GTA 5 in 2024 — and viewers clocked in “1.4+ billion hours watched across all audiences,” per a news release published by Twitch. GTA 5 was the top gaming category in 2023,...

As Discord forces in more adverts and paid customization towards becoming a public company the CEO and Co-Founder, Jason Citron, has announced they're stepping down as CEO.

EA Sports FC 25 is introducing its first paid battle pass, after previously experimenting with a free version of the feature.

Cheap as chips. Our recent interview with Shin'en Multimedia regarding the upcoming launch of Fast Fusion gave us plenty of answers as to the game's new features and performance on Switch 2. Now, thanks to an official listing on the Nintendo eShop, we now know how much it will cost. In short, if you thought Fast RMX was good value for money, then buckle up, because Fast Fusion might well be an essential purchase, costing just £13.49 / €14.99 (we'll update with the US price as soon as we can).

We now know how much those previously announced Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades for games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will cost. However, I am afraid it is not going to be a 'one size fits all' deal.

We may never get Bloodborne on PC, but we did get the excellent fan demake Yarntown, created by solo developer Max Mraz of Moth Atlas. Since then, Mraz has adapted and expanded that core concept to create Tombwater, a new, original soulslike that infuses Yharnam-style eldritch horror into a Wild West setting. If you’re sad that Rockstar never gave Red Dead Redemption 2 its own version of Undead Nightmare, this exciting new Lovecraft-tinged action RPG might be the perfect salve, and you can try i...

While the Nvidia Blackwell launch got off to a shaky start in terms of stock and prices, we’re really glad to report that the supply situation has largely settled down in the UK, where you can now grab four of the new graphics cards at MSRP, and sometimes even lower. That means you can genuinely bag yourself an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 for £979.99, an RTX 5070 Ti for £729.99, and an RTX 5070 for just £499.99, and there appears to be plentiful stock of the cards at multiple retailers too. Sadly, t...

Apple chipmaker TSMC at the North America Technology Symposium has teased its next-generation A14 process node that will enter planned production in 2028. The cutting-edge A14 node will allow for highly advanced 1.4nm chips that are likely to be utilized for future generations of Apple silicon.

TSMC said it...

Under the sea (again). We're huge fans of Unknown Worlds' sublime Subnautica series, with both the original game and spin-off Below Zero earning a 9/10 and 8/10 respectively in our reviews. With Subnautica 2 having been revealed back in October 2024, we've been champing at the bit over the past few months to find out whether or not we're going to be treated to a Switch 2 port of this full-blown sequel to one of the truly great survival (horror) games.

Fallout 3 Remastered. Given the success of the new version of Oblivion, and the unlikelihood that Elder Scrolls 6 will be here any time soon, it makes sense. Starfield didn’t quite land. We’ve all played Skyrim to death. If Bethesda is going to relaunch any of its former classics - and, for whatever reason, Morrowind isn’t on the cards - then the 2008 apocalypse RPG feels like the natural next fit. But what would change? The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered is intended as a visual but not groun...

She's said it before and she'll say it again.

Nintendo has now opened pre-orders for Switch 2 in the US, and it's been as chaotic as you'd expect. Numerous retailers sold out of their allocation almost instantly, while customers report having confirmed orders later cancelled, and - as with elsewhere - there simply does not seem to be enough stock to meet demand.

It's time to sit down for a story with Alice and Vanellope.

More than double BOTW & TOTK. Nintendo has today updated the UK eShop listings for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree's Switch 2 Edition, revealing the all-important price of the games' upgrade packs. For those who already own the games on Switch, the 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' upgrade pack will set you back £16.99 / €19.99 — more than double the £7.99 / €9.99 required to upgrade Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

In one game, I saw a performance increase of over 40%, which is just wild to see.

What are the best weapons in Clair Obscur? An Expedition is only as good as the weapons it wields, and Expedition 33 has some serious armaments up its sleeve.

Man down! It's a big day for Switch 2 hopefuls. Pre-orders finally went live in America after landing a last-minute delay, and today's the day that the pre-order lottery winners are announced in Japan. While the former has already seen consoles appear on eBay at ridiculous prices, the latter has broken the region's My Nintendo Store. Japanese customers hoping to get their hands on a Switch 2 should be notified today whether they successfully passed the My Nintendo Store lottery and now have a ch...

11 bit studios have announced today that their popular city building survival strategy game Frostpunk from 2018 is getting a remake in Unreal Engine 5.

Microsoft has launched its Xbox cloud gaming app on newer LG smart TV models, allowing you to stream games directly from its servers.

If you were hoping to avoid the chaos that has accompanied the Switch 2 launch by pre-ordering directly from Nintendo, that may not make it arrive any faster. In an update on its website, Nintendo says that it's seeing "very high demand" for the console, so "your invitation email may arrive after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch" set for June 5th. That may delay the shipment until after that date as well, the company said.  Nintendo opened the ability to "register your interest" for purchasing a Swi...

Different Zelda amiibo go in and out of production throughout the year, making some harder to find in stock (and at a reasonable price) than others. These amiibo not only look great, allowing fans to rep their favorite Zelda characters, but also unlock items and rewards in Switch games, including Breath of the Wild and...

Developer 11 bit Studios has officially unveiled its new Frostpunk game.

Frostpunk 1886 "revisits and expands" upon 2018's Frostpunk and promises a "fresh experience," even for veterans of the original.

Among a crowded strategy genre, dominated by giants like Civilization 7, Stellaris, and Age of Empires 4, Frostpunk remains unique. Rather than a sprawling, epochs-old society, you’re in charge of a single, tiny settlement, and a mere handful of settlers. You don’t build up and outward. You pour all of your efforts into maintaining a single, life-giving town center. In Cities Skylines 2, success means skyscrapers, road networks, mass industry. In Frostpunk, it means having enough wood to last th...
