Apple isn't ready to pay a several billion-dollar fine to UK App Store users and is filing an appeal over a major antitrust lawsuit. As first reported by The Guardian, Apple has requested to appeal to the UK's Court of Appeal, which would escalate the case beyond the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT).  The latest appeal attempt follows an October decision from the CAT, where the court found that Apple engaged in anticompetitive practices by exploiting its dominant market position with the App St...

Darksiders 4 is finally coming, and if you want to catch up on the story so far, the rest of the series is currently up to 90% off in the Winter Sale.

Ubisoft has shut down Rainbow Six Siege's servers and is in the process of rolling back the fallout of a widespread breach that left various players with billions of in-game credits, ultra-rare skins of weapons, and banned accounts. As of Sunday afternoon, the status page on Rainbow Six Siege's website still shows "unplanned outage" on all servers across PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Update: Siege and the Marketplace have been intentionally shut down while the team focuses on resolving the issue. ht...

If Fire and Ash is the end for Cameron — and sure it feels like a finale — Hamnet proves Chloé Zhao could take on the franchise

2025 continued gaming's trend of publishing remakes, remasters, and re-releases — but many were legit terrific this year.

Low-poly, high-quality.

This year saw the worst launch of any GPU generation I can remember in all my 20 years as a tech journo.

After the high price tag of the Ayaneo Pocket DMG turned some retro handheld fans away, Ayaneo is working on another remake of the classic Game Boy with a slightly more affordable cost. Ayaneo revealed the pricing for the Pocket Vert, which starts at $269 for early bird orders. Compared to the Pocket DMG that retails for $449, Ayaneo skipped the OLED and configurations that go up to 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage for the Pocket Vert. Instead, the handheld maker went with a fully metal CNC bod...

E. Elias Merhige’s 2000 comedy-horror sports a unique take on F. W. Murnau’s classic

5 games I played this year made me rush out and buy their soundtracks, and each was rewarding to own in a different way.

Eat the rich messaging was all over American movies in 2025, from Superman to Zootopia 2 to Jurassic World Rebirth to Bugonia, and far beyond.

I've seen the light, and I don't want to go back.

Already unspooled Silksong? Here's six other platformers exploring new concepts.

Triple-A fatigue is real for me, so I ask Witchfire creator Adrian Chmielarz where big-budget titles - especially FPS games - might be going wrong.

The hivemind has some explaining to do after the Pluribus season 1 finale.

It’s a real genre renaissance out there, chief.

2025 was the year of creative bankruptcy.

A race against (end) time.

This year's Ninja Gaiden 2 Black finally does right by a messy but one-of-a-kind action game.

The company made mistakes and Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza weren't all they could have been, but the launch was a record-breaking success

I might just be tired. I must have some kind of record for Ring Fit, if not internationally (see: here), then at least for the West Midlands. I played 10 hours over the weekend, which probably sounds like a lot. I can confirm it was. You know those charity fundraisers of dancing for 24 hours or whatever? It wasn't that. All I raised was my knees (a lot), the Ring (nearly as much), and my cat towards the ring to try and get it to jump through (once, he didn't).

Herdling is a small, simple diversion, and sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Three rodent contenders, but only one winner for the year.

I think these days, after years of Nintendo outright eschewing the console power rat race and focusing instead on different ways to play and honing their core craft, we forget that Nintendo is still a pretty sharp company in terms of technical innovation. Raw power went aside with the Wii, but the company's dedication to tinkering around the edges to create stand-out original experiences in other ways remained - or perhaps even intensified. There's been a lot of examples over the years, of cours...

With Overwatch 2's perks and new mode, Blizzard is leaning heavily into player choice and creativity for the future. And it's working

Support for Apple Car Keys may now be more likely to come to Tesla vehicles, amid new evidence that the automaker is embracing native, system-level digital car keys. According to Not a Tesla App, 4.52.0 of Tesla's mobile app contains multiple code references to Harmony Wallet Key Cards. The discovery is notable because it represents a shift in how Tesla appears to be approaching mobile device integration. Tesla's current Phone Key relies on Bluetooth communication between the vehicle and the Tes...

I'm going to spoil the opening of Despelote here - an opening which I think, as you can probably tell, is pretty glorious. It's not a spoiler so much as a contaminator, a finger on the scales of something it'll feel wonderful to go into unweighted. So go away right now if you want to experience it for yourself.

Three fantastic keyboards from this year, but there can only be one winner.

Santa Monica By Night is a Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines flash game that you need to try, and it's just ten minutes long, so no excuses.

"If you do exclusives you can push every lever to 11 in that platform". We find ourselves in an unusual position when it comes to console exclusives these days. Once upon a time, titles like Halo, Forza, Death Stranding, and God of War would have been playable only on hardware produced by their respective owners. However, today, Microsoft is releasing its games on PS5, while Sony is happy for its leading lights to hit PC.

But try not to get “too excited”. Next year marks even more anniversaries, and one other big one coming up is for Dragon Quest. This classic role-playing series will hit its 40th birthday, and in the same end-of-year wrap with 4Gamer.net (via Gematsu), Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito mentions how the company is looking forward to everyone joining in on the grand celebration of the series.“Next year marks the 40th anniversary of Dragon Quest! I’d be extremely happy if everyone could join in on ...

The new version is now live. In case you missed it, following ConcernedApe’s status update last week, Stardew Valley – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is now officially available. This particular version comes loaded with mouse controls, four-player split-screen as well as eight-player online multiplayer. There’s also GameShare support for Switch and Switch 2 users, so players without a copy of the title can still join in on the farming fun.

The classic Space Invaders returns. Last year in January, Hamster’s Arcade Archives series for the Switch and multiple other platforms reached 400 releases. Now, in an update at the end of 2025, it’s been officially confirmed that the retro-specialist has now hit 500 releases!

Mario Kart World and Pokémon top the list. It’s once again that time of year where companies sum up all sorts of things about the year that was, and with this in mind, Nintendo’s Japanese branch has revealed the best-selling games on the Switch and Switch 2 eShop in 2025.

It can’t wait to make “another announcement”. Persona 3 Reload only arrived on the Switch 2 in October, but there’s plenty more to come... Speaking to the Japanese website 4Gamer.net as part of its annual end-of-year developer interview feature recently, Atlus producer and director Kazuhisa Wada (who has worked on Persona 5 Royal and Persona 3 Reload) highlighted how the JRPG series will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026.
