Grand Theft Auto is a series that’s always leaned into its biting satire of America or, at least, a version of America seen through Rockstar Games’ wacky, violent, sometimes ridiculously exaggerated lens. But with how ridiculous and screwed up the real world has gotten, will GTA 6’s teeth be blunted? A GTA 5 actor certainly thinks that’s possible.When asked if GTA 6 could even work as a satire considering the, urm, general state of the world, the voice behind GTA 5’s Lester, Jay Klaitz, said he “wouldn’t be surprised if a bit of the impact is taken out of GTA…

A lot of changes came to Starfield as part of the Free Lanes update. Some are small, like refinements to customization and exploration, while others are far larger – such as the introduction of deep-space travel between planets in a star system. But no change is perhaps quite as profound as the one that’s happened to Starfield’s New Game+ progression system.”I’m still used to saying this is a spoiler, but I don’t think it is anymore,” laughs Todd Howard, game director and executive producer. Let’s err on the side of caution here and say for those of you who didn’t…

The Overwatch Season 2 update is almost upon us, and I can’t quite believe we’ve made it through the first chapter of the multiplayer game’s new era already. Looking towards the new season, associate game director Alec Dawson explains several of the big changes Blizzard is making in the short term, along with some of the team’s longer-term goals for the year ahead. The ‘Pharmercy’ duo is back on the menu thanks to modernized kits for some of the oldest members of the roster, and we’re even getting the return of post-match accolades. It’s enough to call to mind those…

Splatoon Raiders was revealed in perhaps the most lowkey way imaginable almost a year ago and has been completely mum since then, but the mysteriously quiet upcoming Switch 2 game might be rearing its head soon. At least, if a new age rating is anything to go by.As reported on by MyNintendoNews, Nintendo quietly updated Splatoon Raiders’ EU eShop listing with a new age classification of PEGI 7. The storefront listing previously only had a TBD (to be determined) rating as recently as the start of the month, and the rating is fresh enough that Splatoon Raider’s classification hasn’t even…

What am I up to this weekend? Well, since you asked, I’ll be punishing 8Bitdo’s M30 2.4Ghz Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controller with multiple Sonic the Hedgehog 2 playthroughs. That way, I’ll be able to return on Monday and let you know if it’s worth replacing your trusty old wired retro console controller with the wireless alternative, or if cutting the cord is too much of a compromise.The 8Bitdo M30 has been around since 2019 and comes in 2.4GHz and Bluetooth flavors. The latter is sitting pretty at Amazon for $25.99, but you’ll splash out another $20 on a Retro Receiver…

The shooter space is in a weird place right now. As studios and publishers have scrambled to cash in on the live-service boom, we’ve been inundated with various multiplayer games that have had soaring highs and devastating lows. As players, it’s never been easier to sort the wheat from the chaff, but for developers, cutting through the noise has become a major headache. When Nomion Games co-head Dmitri Ogorodnikov split from Escape From Tarkov maker Battlestate Games to head up the new studio, he knew that its first game, Rush is Real, couldn’t follow in the steps of commercial failures…

Playground Games is finally ready to leave the Xbox One behind. Forza Horizon 5 arrived a year after the launch of Microsoft Gaming’s new-gen home console – a compelling system showcase that remains one of the best Xbox Series X games. For as excellent as Horizon 5 is, I have long wondered what Playground could achieve were it able to circumvent the bottleneck created by needing to support decade-old hardware. With the release of Forza Horizon 6 on May 19, fantasy will become reality.”I think you can’t overstate it. It’s a sea change,” says design director Torben Ellert, as we…

Goodbye to Roblox Premium, hello to Roblox Plus. The way you pay for the creation sandbox game’s bonus subscription model is changing at the end of April, and while you can stay on the old system if you want, you’ll be losing benefits including bonus Robux. The good news is that the incoming Roblox Plus subscription actually sounds like a much better deal on the whole, giving you much more for its fixed five-dollar asking price. Roblox Plus will be your only option going forward, as the ability to subscribe to Premium will be removed when the new system comes…

Of the many, many things one can get up to in GTA 5, you can’t stop the train. Rockstar made sure that thing was player-proof in every conceivable way. Naturally, since Crimson Desert has a locomotive, people have started looking into ways to bring it to a halt, and wouldn’t you know it, there’s a way to do so.The YouTuber BjornTheBear compiled his scientific research in the area. His methodology is carefully constructed and executed, so as to get the purest results feasible. By which I mean, he chucked various attacks and objects at the vehicle head-on to see what…
