Xbox’s leadership team has spoken more about the future of exclusive games on the platform, following this week’s staff letter claiming it would reevaluate its strategy.Since 2024, Xbox has increasingly released its first-party games on Sony’s PlayStation 5 console, as its own hardware sales lag far behind the rival. However, its release cadence has been inconsistent, with some games releasing later on PS5, and others arriving simultaneously alongside Xbox console versions.Speaking in a new interview with Game File, Microsoft’s new gaming CEO, Asha Sharma, and chief content officer Matt Booty, were asked to elaborate on some of the broad commitments…
The end has come for the current edition of Warhammer 40K, and even though there’s a spark of hope with the Return of Yarrick, things are looking grim.Well, metaphorically speaking. The final expansion before Warhammer 40K 11th Edition arrives is an in-universe disaster of unparalleled, apocalyptic proportions. But in real life? It’s a god damn delight. Besides bringing back the titular character for yet more punishment (Yarrick is one of the longest-running and most pummelled heroes in Warhammer 40K, poor guy), Return of Yarrick provides a tank-heavy way to play along with a host of genuinely cool new units to…

It’s the end of an era as the current edition grinds to a halt, and it’s being given a suitably grand sendoff with a host of Warhammer 40K Armageddon Battalions. But which of the four packs should you get? Which ones are the best value, and the most practical?I was lucky enough to be sent these kits ahead of time alongside the other releases for the end of the current edition (Return of Yarrick serves as such a good sendoff and makes me excited for what comes next), so I have thoughts about these Warhammer 40K Armageddon Battalions. My personal…
Resident Evil Requiem has hit a new sales milestone, with seven million units sold within the game’s first two months.Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi posted an image to his Instagram story (spotted by TwistedVoxel) featuring two cakes. One reads “Grace Congratulation on 7 million,” with a cookie version of Grace Ashcroft sitting atop it, while the other features a Leon Kennedy cookie and is in the style of Resident Evil 2’s iconic banner, saying “Welcome to 7m Leon” (and they didn’t even make the spelling mistake that the RPD officers did, either).Capcom hasn’t released an official announcement about the…
Today is the one year anniversary of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a game that truly dominated the industry in 2025. Naturally, Sandfall Interactive took some time to mark the occasion, but while DLC hopefuls will be disappointed, there’s a solid discount going on Steam at the minute for those who haven’t tried it yet.On Twitter, the official account mentioned the RPG’s first birthday. “To celebrate the occasion, the team put together this piece of artwork that we hope you’ll enjoy!” the studio tweeted, with an image of the main cast sitting down to have a birthday cake. Cute!”And if you…
This weekend, the decorating begins. Yes, I have bitten off more than I can chew, but what is life if not enthusiastically inviting choking hazards? I’ll be removing cabinets, sanding and priming carpentry, cleansing walls with sugar soap, and, if I’ve done everything, covering the kitchen in B&Q’s Chorizo matte emulsion paint. I will not have done everything right, but that’s why I picked the first day of my partner’s month-long business trip to begin the work. 30 days should be along enough to fix any mess ups I make, right? Enough of my impending mistakes. Let’s see what the…
I thought I’d learned a lot about American McGee’s 2011 game Alice: Madness Returns in the years since declaring the grungy fairytale series some of my all-time favorite games, but I never knew about… the dildo snails.”I tried searching my emails for it and failed,” former id Software developer McGee says on Twitter. “Then I tried to Google it. Yeah, don’t try to Google it.” Dildo snails aren’t the kind of thing human hands are meant to go searching for. But, at the time of Madness Returns’ production, Alice publisher EA was practically begging for it.McGee provides insight into his…
Extraction shooters are all the rage right now between Arc Raiders and Marathon, but you might want to take rumors of an extraction shooter set in the Halo universe with a grain of salt.A new video report from Rebs Gaming recently claimed that plans for a long-rumored Halo battle royale – said to have been a partnership between Certain Affinity and Halo Studios – had been shelved in favor of a PvE extraction shooter codenamed Project Ekur.The channel’s sources are a little unclear on how Project Ekur would come out, however. Whether it’s a standalone multiplayer release or a bolted…
Now that Square Enix has lifted the veil on its brand-new Final Fantasy 14 expansion, Evercold, with a release date set for January 2027, everyone is understandably excited for all its new content – especially the Evangelion crossover raids.Or, well, maybe I’m just especially excited for them, but still. As director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida revealed during today’s big keynote showcase at Fan Fest 2026 in Anaheim, California, Final Fantasy 14 is indeed getting a new Evangelion raid series – one that apparently will “span all multiple tiers” – and I can’t wait.It feels like the big NieR Automata raid set…
