A new AMD Ryzen specs rumor has just appeared online that could spell some very exciting news for gamers. If it’s true, then there’s the potential for a new 12-core X3D chip that’s even faster than the acclaimed AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and a 24-core AMD Ryzen gaming CPU that can basically do everything. But isn’t there already a 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D? Yep, but it has a fundamental flaw in its design when it comes to gaming, which is that those 12 cores are split across two six-core chiplets, ...

How do you get Doom The Dark Ages Twitch drops? With the arrival of the reboot series prequel, id Software and Bethesda are offering up some tantalizing drip to keep you looking your best while you're out there living your best rip-and-tear life. Doom The Dark Ages brings us back to a darker time in the Doom timeline, and the Slayer has found himself in the middle of a war between the Sentinels of Argent D'Nur and the hellish horde. There's only one thing for it in the FPS game, and that's to dr...

I have a narcissistic recurring daydream that consists of teleporting historical celebrities into the present so that I can show them bits of 21st century technology and absolutely blow their tiny, primordial minds. "This deceptively pocket-sized contraption is a trillion times more powerful than your silly adding machines," I would tell Charles Babbage, brandishing my smashed Google Pixel phone. "Did the Wright Flyer have wifi?" I would ask Wilbur and Orville, pushing their faces against the wi...

The Palworld Terraria crossover is almost here. Bringing together two of the biggest survival games of all time, we'll soon be catching all-new mobs and creatures in Pocketpair's smash hit. That's not all, however, as a new update from the team finally showcases the event itself, revealing that it'll have new Pals, islands, and more. If all of this has piqued your interest, but you haven't gotten around to adding Pocketpair's creature catcher to your Steam library just yet, then I have good news...

Switch 2 production capacity and US tariffs didn't factor into sales predictions Nintendo said, as its forecasts were criticised by investors for being conservative.

Steam Deck owners will be familiar with the practice of peering into a new game’s Steam store page and hoping, begging, praying to whatever god is yet to abandon this cruel joke of a reality that it has a little green tick mark on it. This is, of course, the Steam Deck Verified programme, wherein Valve gives good behaviour stickers to games that function fully on their handheld PC. Soon, this system – so often a source of relief and disappointment – will be expanded, with a view to rating games ...

What's the list of all Doom The Dark Ages upgrades? id Software has gone back to the drawing board with its approach to making the Slayer an even more unstoppable force, stripping back its systems. As noted in our Doom The Dark Ages review, this creative choice lets you focus more on ripping and tearing - the most integral part of the iconic FPS series' experience. Read on to find out more about how upgrades work in Doom The Dark Ages, as well as the full list of upgrades you can unlock for your...

There's a slightly lower res 20,000 nit version, too.

Surprise tentacles are without a doubt the worst kind of tentacles, except in a couple of very specific cases. Fried squid at a pot luck? Sure. Come in, my friend. Benevolent kraken helping you out of an aquatic pickle by lifting you safely to shore? Thank you, Kraken. I will fry you last. Frogwares surprise launching a remaster of Lovecraftian adventure game The Sinking City with a free upgrade to existing owners and a 50% discount on Steam for everyone else? I'll fry you second to last, Frogwa...

We live in a world of story-rich games. Of course there's Baldur's Gate 3, then newcomers like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and South of Midnight, with old favorites like the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series feeling like timeless classics. For me, The Sinking City is one of those iconic narrative-driven adventures, thrusting you into the bowels of Oakmont, a once-bustling metropolis that's slowly falling into the sea. Lovecraftian horrors stalk the streets, every shadow is a threat, and now it's...

In the new Team Fortress 2 update, Valve says that it has “relaxed in-game chat restrictions for certain accounts.” On the surface, that would seem to suggest that anybody playing TF2 for free will now be able to use the in-game text and chat functions again - since 2020, those features have been unavailable to anybody without a premium account. However, while some free players report that the chat systems are, indeed, usable now, others say that they are not. Half-Life 3 may be Valve’s biggest ...

Actor voices Osamu Kashiwagi. After confirming the English voiceover cast for Yakuza 0: Director's Cut recently, Sega has now shared a quick look at actor David Hayter in the role of Osamu Kashiwagi. In case you're unaware, Hayter is perhaps best known for his role as Solid/Naked/Old Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series. He's also worked on titles such as Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, and Dragon Age: inquisition.

The Wandering Village is such a sweet idea for a city-builder, taking place on the back of a huge walking creature. It's in Early Access with Linux / Steam Deck support and a big new update just arrived.

Stellar Blade - the apparently very good third-person action extravaganza with a heroine who definitely only dresses like that because she's comfortable with her sexuality and besides, bunny girl outfits are lightweight and tactically efficient - will launch on 11th June, according to a new trailer. PlayStation appear to have posted the trailer early in a classic case of marketing butterfingers. They've now removed the video, but somebody from Reddit has preserved and uploaded it as an everlasti...

Kodo Linija and publisher Paradox Arc have released a massive update to Stardeus, that's a bit like a RimWorld in space with ship-building. Now, it has ship to ship combat too.

Helldivers, get to your Super Destroyers! In a surprise turn of events that even our top researchers couldn’t predict, the Illuminate have finally revealed their intentions, emerging from the Meridian singularity, and setting a course for Super Earth. It’s now more important than ever that we band together and stop this salvo from destroying our...

The Sinking City Remastered - the Unreal Engine 5 spruce-up of developer Frogwares' 2019 Lovecraft-inspired detective adventure - has slithered out of its tenebrous seclusion sooner than expected, and is available now for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Linux GPU Control Application (LACT) is a wonderful open source app that allows you to tweak various settings for your GPU on Linux. The latest update brings some great new features, like the new fan control UI.

The Fallout TV series has already been renewed for a third season on Amazon Prime.

Your FPS cup likely runneth over this month with Doom: The Dark Ages (unless you've got good taste. Nah, I'm just messing. It's alright) but if you'd like a top up, spare a thought for the early access release of "comedic RPG shooter" Chambers. It's from Mr. Pink and JFJ, the former of which made Golden Light, which Edwin called "the world's most disgusting FPS". Have you the read the Maw? Do you know how much it takes to disgust Edwin? Here's a little looksee.

Crowbar Collective just released a major update to their Half-Life remake Black Mesa, which includes a whole lot of improvements to celebrate their ten year Steam anniversary. There's a lot of upgrades for Linux / Steam Deck players here.

Stellar Blade will release on PC next month, according to a trailer posted too early on the PlayStation YouTube channel and since removed.

Yes, yes, I'm opting for the scoundrel's gambit and reporting on a Reddit post. Of a self-imposed challenge run, no less! But I adored the bejeezus out of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and figured this was worth sharing in case it convinces a couple of you to give it a go. Redditor HunterIV4 has chronicled their journey to beat the RPG without dodging, parrying, or even using the powerful gradient parries, in a bid to show that Sekiro reflexes aren't as crucial to success as they might seem. Than...

Just recently, Valve updated Counter-Strike 2 to entice players to keep coming back with a new permanent weekly mission system. Additionally, a just released updated improves the game on Linux with Wayland.

Valve have released the latest small update to Team Fortress 2. Following on from the update released at the start of May, it's another that pulls in some community-provided fixes thanks to the source code being available as part of the Source SDK update.

There's a 90% chance that a highly advanced AI could pose its own threat to humanity.

"That's how they were originally intended to be played". The Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers include mouse capabilities which opens the new system up to even more games. We've already seen how third-party titles like Civilization VII will support this feature when the new device arrives this June, and it seems other developers are just excited. Speaking to RPG Site recently, Nightdive's CEO Stephen Kick noted just how big the added mouse feature is as a lot of his studio's games are obviou...

Never tell me the odds.

Forever physical, kind of... Physical distributor Limited Run Games recently announced a Switch 2 game-key card collector's edition of the Atlus release RAIDOU Remastered - stating in fine print how this was not part of the company's "numbered release" line. We mentioned at the time how it could take a different approach with other releases (including its numbered line) and this has now reportedly been confirmed. Speaking to a Limited Run marketing representative at PAX East 2025, Boss Rush Netw...

2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

Sandygast, the sand heap Pokémon from Unova, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Sandygast can be shiny in Pokémon Go! Neither of these Pokémon are super relevant to the meta, but you can use Palossand in the Ultra League for PvP, if you want. Luckily, that shiny is incredible, making it...

Anime-inspired action role-playing game Silver Palace, revealed Monday by developer-publisher Elementa, looks heavily inspired by games like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero — you know, the kind of we’re-putting-everything​-in-this-game game, in which well-dressed cartoon cuties unleash blistering ass-whoopings on giant monsters. Silver Palace also looks like it borrows a bit from Atlus’...
