From Fallout to Project Zomboid, Cyberpunk 2077 and Stardew Valley, some of the greatest PC games are also those with the biggest, most vibrant modding communities. Since it was released in September of last year, Space Marine 2 has been overhauled, refreshed, and reimagined thanks to some visionary creations by its players, but making mods for the Warhammer 40k shooter is a huge uphill struggle. Or at least it was, until now. Thanks to Saber, which has just released its entire internal toolkit,...

Recently we had the big announcement of Europa Universalis V from Paradox Interactive / Paradox Tinto. Now we know it will only officially support Windows.

Apple is developing a new feature that will synchronize captive Wi-Fi portal login information across devices, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The system will allow users to enter login details for captive Wi-Fi networks – commonly found in hotels, airports, and coffee shops – just once, then automatically sync that information across their iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. "When you go to a new hotel, office building or gym, you're often asked to fill out a web form on all your devices befor...

With the cry of gulls, GTA 6 returns to us. We're back in Rockstar's spin on Florida and we're here for, what exactly? A story trailer? Well, it's complicated.

But don't get your hopes up just yet. We are rapidly approaching the 11th July release date for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch (and its as-yet undated Switch 2 version), but that won't stop us all from looking to what's next for the Bird Man as far as remasters are concerned. While nothing is confirmed for the time being, a recent interview with Hawk himself has us wondering whether the Underground games might be the next titles in the (half)pipeline. This comes from a new Screen Rant in...

Apple plans to add tiny cameras to AirPods and Apple Watch models in 2027 that will embed Apple Intelligence in the devices, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The cameras are expected to scan the environment and describe objects, similar to the Visual Intelligence feature on newer iPhones. Apple is also working on smart glasses that include cameras, microphones, and integrated AI, much like the Ray-Bans from Meta. The glasses are also expected by 2027, according to Gurman. Apple is developin...

Virtua Fighter 5 REVO, the latest edition of Sega's nearly 19-year-old fighting sequel, is heading to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2 following its PC debut earlier this year.

Bandai Namco is changing the way it pays executives, which could put more pressure on them to make profit and appease shareholders.

The star of Naughty Dog's next game has said she's received preparation for the role - and specifically the online reaction to it - from studio boss Neil Druckmann, following the online abuse previously kicked up around The Last of Us Part 2.

Apple is considering raising prices for its upcoming iPhone 17 models set to release this fall, according to people familiar with the matter cited by The Wall Street Journal. The company reportedly aims to pair the potential price hikes with new features and design changes to justify the increased cost to consumers, rather than attributing them to U.S. tariffs on goods from China. The U.S. and China recently agreed to suspend most tariffs imposed during their trade dispute, but a 20% tariff impl...

"Prior year quarter impairment" is some potent corpo-speak.

Ahead of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, the skating icon has said he has "aspirations" for further remakes, including one for the popular Tony Hawk's Underground.

The allure of World of Warcraft's hardcore mode is the fact that it's, well, hardcore. A single misstep off of a cliff, a mistimed dodge, or a slightly slow reaction leads to your eternal demise: all of that gear, gone, that time arguably wasted. But, in the wake of the OnlyFangs drama and consistent server instability, Blizzard has been resurrecting Hardcore characters at its "sole discretion," noting previously that, given the malicious nature of DDoSes, it seems unfair to almost punish player...

"no, we’re not in immediate financial danger". Moon Studios, the developer behind Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, has found itself in a bit of a pickle over supposed review bombs for its latest title, No Rest for the Wicked. As spotted by drotahorror on NeoGAF (thanks, VGC), director and CEO Thomas Mahler took to Discord and requested that if users are enjoying No Rest for the Wicked, they leave a positive review on Steam. The game is currently available via early ac...

The early 2000s were an unmatched time for fantasy RPGs. We were playing Final Fantasy X, Morrowind, Diablo 2, and Neverwinter Nights, to name a few. Nestled among these giants, though, was the original Gothic. It's developed quite the cult status in the last two decades, and Alkimia Interactive is set to celebrate that with a fully fledged Unreal Engine 5 remake. You can even play a demo right now on Steam, which Alkimia has massively improved after fan feedback.

The world of Escape From Tarkov is a dangerous place. Between the scavs, PMCs, and other players, there are a lot of threats, and death comes swiftly. Whether it’s the lowly Tagilla or the mighty Shturman, if you’re planning to take on a boss, you need to bring your best gear and most powerful guns. But what if you perfect your loadout, plan your offensive, and then the boss doesn’t show up? With Escape From Tarkov 1.0 on the way this year, as well as the Steam edition of the ultra-realistic sho...

Apple will mark the 10th anniversary of the iPhone X in 2027 by launching a mostly glass, curved iPhone without any cutouts in the display, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman said the all-screen device will arrive later in 2027, suggesting a fall release. The model will be preceded earlier in the year by Apple's first foldable iPhone, claims the reporter. Gurman last month described Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone as a "bold" new iPhone Pro mo...

Apple's first foldable iPhone will have a "nearly invisible" display crease and should be on the market by 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman said that some people at Apple consider the foldable iPhone to be one of two major two-decade anniversary initiatives – the other being a mostly glass, curved iPhone without any cutouts in the display, due later the same year. Gurman's latest comments indicate a shift in his position about the laun...

I want Grand Theft Auto 6 to be good, and if I had to bet money on it, I'd guess it likely will be. The world is weird right now, and I want both you and me to enjoy driving a car into a man. It very much sounds like it's got Stephen Root from Barry in it! I love Stephen Root from Barry! But, god, am I feeling some kind of way about it constantly sucking all the air out of the room. It feels less like we're looking forward to a game, more that we're in thrall to a captor that knows it can comman...

Valve released a Steam Beta update for Steam Deck and Desktop that has some essential fixes, one of which was quite a nuisance bug on Steam Deck.

Fans of Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios are continuing to explore a leaked build of Harmony, the company's now-cancelled 3D platformer.

The frequency of GPU driver updates for portable PCs really needs improving.

The fifth episode of The Last of Us' second season is the shortest of the series so far, but includes a few major story points that have consequences for Ellie, Dina, the WLF and, dare I say it, the wider world.

Like most new Xbox games, you can play Doom early if you pony up.

Switch 2's mouse controls will be usable in the console's Home menu.

Mario Kart is also back in the top ten. We're a little over three weeks away from the launch of the Switch 2, which means that the UK charts this week once again offers no major surprises. Having said that, Minecraft on Switch has continued its upward trajectory to land at number two this week, falling under the sole shadow of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at the top spot. Word of mouth is really doing this one a world of good, and we can imagine it placing quite high for several weeks to come.

Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.

Open Fortress is a mod for Valve's Team Fortress 2 and now it's getting a standalone release on Steam, thanks again to Valve adding the TF2 source code to the Source SDK.

I started writing this piece as a sort of "oh, this was cool!" bit of game archaeology after seeing a post from Scott Krol - who shares consistently fascinating bits of ephemera on video and tabletop games - on the physical bits that came with 1984's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy adventure game. "Infocom, known for their brilliant text adventures, was the first company to put physical items in with their games," writes Scott. "In fact, Infocom were attributed as the first to coin the term...

Valve released two Proton updates just as the weekend hit, both containing some essential fixes for running Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck. So here's all that's new for Proton Experimental and the latest Proton 10 Beta.

That's a spiny shell to you, mate. We love the little GWPs (gifts with purchase) that Lego likes to drop with certain special sets from time to time, and this latest one is an absolute doozy for us Nintendo fans. If you happen to have your beady eye already on the recently announced LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Kart' set, you may want to keep that same beady eye on alert, as this Lego Blue Shell, or '40787 Spiny Shell' to give it its full sexy Lego label, has been revealed via...

Ahead of the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages on May 15th, Valve have released an update for SteamOS for Steam Deck to get it to actually run.

It's out now on Steam.
