We already knew the Xbox Series X/S version of last year's stupendous Silent Hill 2 remake was likely imminent thanks to recent ratings board sightings, but it turns out the wait is already over - for Australian players at least. It's available to download right now via the Australian Xbox Store, suggesting a global launch announcement will feature during tonight's Xbox showcase.

Verizon is set to lay off more than 13,000 employees and every part of the company will be going through some changes, CEO Dan Schulman has confirmed. The company is reducing its headcount and cutting back on outsourcing and other external labor expenses in service of "building a stronger Verizon," Schulman wrote in a memo to staff. The company will also convert 179 retail stores that it owns into franchised outlets and it will close one store. In September, Verizon said it had around 100,000 fu...

Is that... Mr. Biffo? Clear River Games has released R-Type Delta: HD Boosted for the Switch, and to celebrate its arrival, a new launch trailer has hit the web, and it's a doozy. The live-action trailer stars none other than Paul Rose, who served as the editor for The Digitiser, a video games magazine for Teletext back in the '90s and early '00s. You might know him best as Mr. Biffo, and his short appearance here is undeniable.

Play on release or a few days early with the deluxe edition.

MMOwn-goal.

Yesterday, we published part one of our interview with former Xbox 360 boss Peter Moore, where he talked about the creation of Microsoft's beloved machine, the grand idea encompassing it, and how his team had to break from the stuffy office-worker image Microsoft had. "Guys with pocket protectors and thick glasses", as he described it. He also talked about "throwing punches" to provoke the Xbox vs. PlayStation console war.

FromSoftware's Bloodborne may never get a sequel, but its excellent gothic soundtrack is coming to vinyl, with a 3LP dexlue reissue.

Apple has reportedly reassigned BOE's planned OLED panel allocation for the iPhone 17 Pro to Samsung after the Chinese supplier failed to resolve reliability issues ahead of mass production, according to a new report from ZDNet Korea. BOE was preparing to supply up to 10 million OLED panels for the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ in the Chinese market after receiving initial mass-production approval from Apple early in the third quarter of 2025. The supplier's progress apparently stalled due to unresolved techn...

The Mighty Nein shows magic in a much different way than The Legend of Vox Machina, and the show cares for details more than the average D&D player.

Initiative, a 5-hour off-Broadway play, uses D&D as the emotional framework to explore a dramatic coming-of-age story.

Tanya Berger-Wolf’s first computational biology project started as a bet with a colleague: that she could build an AI model capable of identifying individual zebras faster than a zoologist. She won. Now, the director of the Translational Data Analytics Institute and a professor at The Ohio State University, Berger-Wolf is taking on the whole animal Read Article

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has shown us images of space we’d never see otherwise, and one of the latest wonders it has captured is of an unusual star system in our galaxy with what the agency describes as “four serpentine spirals of dust.” Previous observations of the Apep system, named after the Egyptian god of chaos and located around 8,000 light-years away from Eath, showed only one shell. But as you can see in the mid-infrared image captured by Webb above, it actually has four shells,...

The post Black Friday with Xbox: Our Biggest Season of Deals Returns, Including 2000+ Games on Sale appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Playing with your balls. In the great pantheon of shoot-'em-up games, R-Type is both one of the greatest and one of the most excruciatingly difficult. Released in arcades in 1987 and drawing visual inspiration from the works of H.R. Giger, you pilot an R-9 fighter craft through spectacular alien worlds in a bid to destroy the Bydo Empire. Although shoot 'em ups later evolved to favour more twitch-reflex gameplay, R-Type’s staple is its strict memorisation, requiring you to learn it by rote. As w...

Open world Czech Bohemia-inspired orienteering game Prologue: Go Wayback! from PlayerUnknown Productions and PUBG creator Brendan Greene is out now in Steam Early Access - and that's very inconvenient, because we still don't have consensus on a nickname. Back in 2017, RPS jocularly renamed PUBG "Plunkbat" - a show of feistiness that surely resulted in no angry emails (genuinely, I don't know if it did), and which I recently consecrated by writing it on the wall of a random shed in Scotland. We a...

Bandai Namco has announced Tales of Berseria Remastered, a revamped version of the 2017 JRPG that includes gameplay improvements and more.

What did I just watch..? Fortnite has seemingly become the go-to place for crossovers, with everyone from Solid Snake to Mariah Carey making an appearance in the online game. Its latest trailer teases the Chapter 6 Finale Event, and it's an unsettling realisation of its crossover ambitions, showcasing Godzilla, King Kong, Homer Simpson, and Kill Bill's 'The Bride'. Oh, and some Star Wars X-Wings, too. We can't help but feel a keen sense of bemusement watching the action unfold – yes, crossovers ...

Capcom has celebrated a new milestone for Dragon's Dogma 2, which came out last year, but the most common response so far is - what about some DLC?

OpenAI is rolling out the first major update to ChatGPT Atlas, its dedicated AI browser for Mac that includes ChatGPT integration. There are nine new features in all for the Chromium-based browser after the update. Visually, the most notable UI change is a new option for vertical tabs that change size dynamically in the adjustable sidebar, plus there's a new interface for managing downloads. Meanwhile, the app now features iCloud passkey support, so users can create and use passkeys for websites...

Today, Stalker 2 comes to the PS5. A massive step in the game's post-launch roadmap, it brings with it a host of new additions to better serve the platform as well as the full suite of pre-existing gameplay iterations that have been consistently added to the haunting FPS since last year. However, with the war in Ukraine still raging and most of the PS5-version dev team still based in Kiev, it's proven far from simple to produce the port.

Though Capcom's latest horror series installment has yet to reach our screens, we could already know how long Resident Evil Requiem will be.

Among other balance changes.

Level-5 has announced that Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road sales have passed a major milestone just a week after the game's release.

Spotify has unveiled an upcoming interactive feature called SongDNA designed to show you the samples, collaborators and covers included in a given track, the company announced. As part of that update, Spotify also revealed that it has acquired WhoSampled, the company behind the SongDNA technology. "Through our recent discussions with Spotify, it became clear that we share a strong belief in the power of musical context — and a vision for helping listeners go deeper into the songs they love," the...

Dragon Quest 7 is too big, and too long. Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined aims to fix that with 2026's big remaster.

Just one week after kickoff. The much-delayed Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road finally arrived on Switch and Switch 2 last week, and Level-5 has today announced that the football RPG has already scored its first major sales milestone. As shared by company CEO Akihiro Hino on X, Victory Road has already surpassed 500,000 sales worldwide. Sure, this is across all platforms (including PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and Steam), but that's no mean feat for a title that has been this long in the making.
