It’s no secret that Lost Ark isn’t where it used to be. The Diablo-adjacent MMO launched in 2022 with a staggering 1.3 million concurrent Steam players, but over that year, that number trailed off. In 2025, the player count sits at around 20,000, and while that’s respectable, it’s a far cry from launch. That could all be about to change, however, as Smilegate’s MMO has been slowly climbing back up after a recent major update. With some big changes to the core experience and multiple progression ...

Imagine running into a minor issue with one of the buttons on your Steam Deck and being quoted up to $227 for a fix. Well, for one unfortunate gamer, this is a reality, as Valve quoted up to €200 for a "major repair" or €135 for a "minor repair." While the Steam Deck still holds up as the best handheld gaming PC for most people, this costly RMA quote is a cause for concern. Worse still, the wording of Valve's response makes it seem as though repair costs can only increase, rather than potentiall...

That's a lot of tarnished. FromSoftware has announced that it has now shipped over 30 million copies of the hit action-RPG Elden Ring, making it one of the most successful video games of all time after just three years on the market. Originally launched on 25th February 2022, the game took the now-classic 'souls' formula made famous in titles like Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne, and blended it with open-world mechanics that resulted in an experience like no other. It received critical...

There's little I enjoy more than a console teardown - watching a mainstream piece of consumer electronics dismantled to its core, revealing... well, usually something a lot simpler than you might expect. We've seen people taking apart the PlayStation 5 Pro in the past, but last week, Sony finally revealed its own teardown, sharing a wealth of wonderful incidental detail that gives us some remarkable insights into just how much engineering effort goes into a modern console.

Apple’s AirPods 4 earbuds are on sale via Amazon for $100. This is a record low price and a discount of $30. This particular deal is also available at Walmart and Best Buy. These earbuds are considered some of the best AirPods available for purchase. The sound quality has been improved over the previous generation, which is nice. The big selling point to me, however, is the refined design. The AirPods 4 feature a legitimately comfortable fit, which is pretty rare in the earbud space. They don’t ...

Good idea, slick. If you happened to have missed out on a Switch 2 pre-order, then chances are you're feeling pretty glum at the moment. We get it. Over in Japan, prospective owners had to enter a lottery system in order to be granted the opportunity to place their pre-orders. We know that legendary developer Masahiro Sakurai managed to bag one, but according to recent social media posts, Nintendo Direct narrator Yuichi Nakamura wasn't one of the lucky few (thanks, Automaton).

What are the Elden Ring Nightreign system requirements? In a surprising twist, the Elden Ring Nightreign system requirements almost mirror those of the original souls-like game. There are changes to the CPU requirements, but almost everything else is identical. The original Elden Ring system requirements were arguably low even for 2022, but the decision to apply a 60fps frame cap perhaps explained the decision. Now, with Elden Ring Nightreign on the horizon, you still won't need the best graphic...
