Riot Games has released an official Riftbound: Spiritforged preview, showcasing new cards and mechanics coming to the League of Legends TCG.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is my favorite RPGs from 2024, and this monster-slaying adventure can be found for just $13 in this Fanatical bundle.

Now Arm is Valve's best friend.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is coming to Switch and Switch 2 consoles on December 16. The game was in early access for around a year before being officially released for PC and consoles back in August. This version has been "optimized for handheld and hybrid play" and includes all content from the original release. That means players will be able access a wide variety of biomes, weapons and secrets. This is a unique take on the Prince of Persia franchise, bringing parkour-style movement and comba...

While it was rumored that Apple planned to release new versions of the HomePod mini, Apple TV, and AirTag this year, it is no longer clear if that will still happen. Back in January, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple planned to release new HomePod mini and Apple TV models "toward the end of the year," while he at one point expected a new AirTag to launch "around the middle of 2025." Yet, nothing so far. There are reasons to believe that at least one of the products could be updated imminently, ...

Outside of Nintendo, hardware that inspires joy and whimsy is rare. But with Valve's new Steam Machine, the comparisons to GameCube abound

Sony has revealed the list of November additions to its PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for those on the Extra and Premium tiers of the subscription service. It’s a pretty darn good slate of games this time around, headlined by the return of the PS4 and PS5 versions of Grand Theft Auto V to the service. It’s at least the third time GTA V has been part of the Game Catalog — it was in the lineup twice last year. Developer Rockstar Games, which is currently facing accusations of union busting, is set...

Narrative time loop RPG Rue Valley fails to do anything with its potent metaphor for depression.

SteamCube. Rumours have been rumbling about Valve — the Washington-based developer responsible for creating Steam, but for also bringing us some of the best games ever made such as Half-Life, Portal, and Counter Strike — announcing some brand new hardware for a few days now. And earlier today, multiple press outlets have revealed they've gone hands-on with three new pieces of Steam-compatible kit: a brand new controller, a "streaming-first" headset, and what is basically a game console. The Stea...

One Valve employee essentially made it happen.

Apple Arcade has a fairly stacked winter, as the platform is adding some standout titles on December 4. Arcade titles are playable on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. First up, there's Cult of the Lamb Arcade Edition. This is a port of the incredibly addictive roguelike/town sim hybrid thingamajig, with some new features exclusive to Arcade subscribers. This version includes new follower forms, decorations and outfits. It also includes all existing content updates, though Apple ...

Oh I do love a win! Today's is quite a surprising one, coming in the form of Jagex willingly removing some microtransactions from RuneScape after more than 120,000 people voted in favour of having them permanently removed from the game. To be frank, I am genuinely unsure if I have… well, ever seen a company do this simply because everyone hated them so much.

Tears of Selûne one-shot reintroduces the Forgotten Realms to D&D's 2024 framework.

"We're really interested to see what other companies do with the form factor."

The Evil Empire expands. We've assumed that it would be coming our way for some time now, but Dead Cells developer Evil Empire has today finally given its slick roguelike, The Rogue Prince of Persia, a Switch release date. This one will be arriving on the eShop (for both Switch and Switch 2) on 16th December, with a physical edition following behind on 10th April 2026... albeit as a Game-Key Card.

Valve made a triumphant return to the hardware market with the Steam Deck and its OLED-toting counterpart, and now it’s having another crack at virtual reality with the Steam Frame. The Steam Frame is the long-rumored headset from Valve that had previously been codenamed "Deckard." The company also announced a new Steam controller and PC called the Steam Machine. Valve says the Steam Frame is a wireless, "streaming-first" headset. It supports both VR and flatscreen games. The company made a plug...

Adam Christopher's new Vader-focused book, Master of Evil, tackles a long debated topic about Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker.

Valve has been loosening a desperate Microsoft's grip on PC gaming one gnarled finger at a time.

It's still a good upgrade from an Index, however.

Valve is taking another run at offering a console-style experience in your living room. The company has announced a new Steam Machine and Steam Controller that let you play PC games on your TV in the same way the Steam Deck lets you play them on the go. The Steam Machine works like a console, but is technically a compact PC. The boxy device features a customizable front plate and LED light strip, with USB-A and a microSD card slot available right up front. Inside, the Steam Machine is powered by...

North Line is the first major update for Arc Raiders and it's introducing a new map, Stella Montis. Here's when it will release in your time zone.

Since Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc exceeded expectations, will Mappa continue the anime series or jump straight to another movie?

There are two reasons why it's not even in the conversation.

It's been a big announcement day for Valve. Just not that big.

A new console-PC hybrid Steam Machine is coming in 2026, alongside the new Steam Frame VR headset and Steam Controller, Valve announced.

The day has arrived, Valve have announced a major hardware expansion with multiple devices including the new Steam Frame, Steam Controller and Steam Machine.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is, in Dominic's own words, "merely okay." I haven't played it myself, so I can't comment there, the general consensus seems to be in agreement on that point however. The Chinese Room are working on turning that around at least! Today they released a new patch for the RPG, containing a bunch of fixes, and offered up a small roadmap of improvements and DLC to come.

Final Fantasy 16 was the Final Fantasy for the PS5 generation, and that weight of expectation obscured just how much like its predecessors it was

"We're also weighing that against our future ambitions."

Ye gads, there’s three of them. You may have heard that a Valve hardware announcement was on the cards, but the Steam custodians’ biggest metal-and-circuits reveal since the Steam Deck actually concerns a power trio: a new Steam Machine, a new Steam Controller, and the Steam Frame hybrid VR headset. They're all official, and all coming (pricing and exact dates TBA) in early 2026. I’ve had some quality hands-on time with them myself, having been mysteriously summoned to Valve HQ late last month (...

Majima magic. It only feels like yesterday that Yakuza Kiwami finally made its way onto the Switch, and yet here we are with a beefed-up Switch 2 version. This new release is effectively the same game, but Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have taken advantage of the newer console’s specs for a much smoother, crisper experience. Crucially, the frame rate has been greatly improved here, sticking to 60fps that (to my eyes, at least) never falters. It makes exploring Kamurocho all the more enjoyable, a...

The post Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies Is Tapping Into Its Past to Guide Its Future appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Tech companies tend to be pretty cagey when talking about how their design processes. What did the esports team you consulted with change about this mouse? What other materials did you consider for this speaker driver? Normally, these kinds of questions don't result in satisfying answers, but Valve's engineers are refreshingly open. The Steam Machine? Oh yeah, we chose a fan big enough to cool the components and worked backwards from there.

Valve's new Steam hardware has been developed based on the team's experience of PC gaming, rather than comparing to other console makers like PlayStation or Xbox.

Valve has made a trio of hardware announcements today, including a standalone VR headset with unique tech for streaming games called Frame, a revised and more mainstream Steam Controller, and even a revival of the old Steam Machine concept: a tiny gaming PC that brings your Steam game library to your living room.
