Xbox’s studios boss has said Microsoft is going to try and be “more consistent” with its PlayStation 5 release strategy going forward.In its continued push towards becoming a multiplatform business, Xbox released six titles for PlayStation 5 in 2025, with more planned for this year.However, it’s been somewhat inconsistent with its release strategy so far, with some games arriving later on PS5, like Indiana Jones and Avowed, while others were released on day one, like Gears of War: Reloaded and The Outer Worlds 2.The inconsistency is set to continue in 2026, with last week’s Xbox Developer Direct confirming Fable as…
As promised earlier this week, a fresh new look at the Mario Bros.’ next big adventure has arrived via Nintendo Direct. What’s on show should be more than enough to get fans feeling giddy over another trip with that adorable plumber that sounds surprisingly like Star-Lord, and who is, coincidentally, heading out into the galaxy himself. Oh, and he’s got a new dinosaur friend.Besides Chris Pratt reprising his role as the legendary hero in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, we’ve also got Anya Taylor-Joy back as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad,…
The 1.0 launch of Escape From Tarkov marked a milestone I’d started to wonder if we’d ever see, almost a decade after one of the most genre-defining extraction shooters first burst onto the scene. But its departure from early access and arrival on Steam was somewhat overshadowed by a rather unlikely contender. Escape From Duckov combined a cheeky naming strategy with a game that, while rather different from its namesake, is actually a remarkably solid PvE survival shooter. But could the two now be about to collide? All signs point to ‘yes.’ Rumors of a collaboration between Escape From Tarkov…

If someone comes through your checkpoint with a rucksack, it’s up to you to inspect the contents and confiscate anything that may pose a threat.You’ll receive a nice little cash bonus for each forbidden item you seize, but be careful as you’ll also be fined for unnecessarily taking away anything that’s been deemed safe. To help you make the right calls, here’s a complete Quarantine Zone contraband list to work from, and what to do with…
As much as I’d rather pull someone into starting up another co-op Stardew Valley run than seek out a fresh alternative, I can’t help but be intrigued by Halcyon Days at Taoyuan – a similar life game with one key difference: martial arts. Because there’s no becoming a hero of the people through the growing of high-quality herbs and veggies without taking a deity down in the process. Launched this past Tuesday, almost eight years after the developer vowed to “create a similar game set in an authentic Chinese landscape” in the comments of their undisclosed favorite farming title, Halcyon…
Arc Raiders’ Escalation has been revealed, a roadmap for the first four months of 2026 that outlines much of what players can expect in the game’s future updates and patches. Arc Raiders has been an incredibly active game since its initial release, with new content being added regularly, but this is the first time we’ve got a sense of what to expect long-term, with a long-term plan between January and April. Below we’ll cover everything we’ve seen in the Escalation roadmap for Arc Raiders, what we know, and what players need to prepare for – because it seems like things…
Launching your first game on Steam is always scary, given how busy Valve’s storefront is and how quickly anything can get lost in the shuffle, especially if you’re not a big name. But LORT developer Big Distraction is counting its blessings today as the new roguelike inspired by Risk of Rain 2 reaches an impressive six-figure milestone just a few days after its early access release. The ten-person team behind Steam’s latest winner says it “kept waiting for another Risk of Rain 2,” but “it never came, so we quit triple-A and made LORT.” While breakout 2025 indie hit Megabonk does…

The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web. Sundays are for waking up in a cold sweat at 6AM. It never ends. The monkey of life will never be off your back. You’re trapped. You try to get up, and your legs don’t work. You fall down, but don’t feel anything. What hell is this, you wonder in horror. Somwhere above you, something moves. You lie frozen in place as it creeps closer, and closer, and closer. Then BOOM, it’s right on top of you. It’s your mum, but her face…
The stupidly talented Riz Ahmed has recently spoken out about the wonders he’s witnessed while on the set of Digger, the new film from director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. After putting together unthinkable projects like one-take wonder, Birdman, and the beautifully bleak western, The Revenant, the director’s new film is a wild and completely original tale, which is a rarity for Cruise, who hasn’t told an original non-IP-based story in over ten years.Digger follows Cruise as the man responsible for unleashing a disaster upon the world, and does everything he can to redeem himself and prove that he’s humanity’s savior, not…
