AMD is working with its board partners to try to ensure that graphics cards “maintain prices close to what [the company] suggests,” according to a new report. That’s despite ongoing shortages and huge price hikes in the DRAM and VRAM space that are putting a massive strain on the graphics card industry, both in terms of supply and pricing. It’s far from a guarantee that AMD GPUs are likely to be available at close to MSRP for the foreseeable future, but it’s perhaps the thinnest sliver of hope that there might be some reasonably priced upgrades available this year. With…

Former Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy says Solo: A Star Wars Story is the only film released during her 14-year tenure that she has a “bit of regret” about.”I don’t really have any regrets. Well, maybe a bit of regret about Solo: A Star Wars Story,” Kennedy told Deadline. “I brought Larry Kasdan in on, and we were so excited about that idea. And then when you’re into something and you realize fundamentally, conceptually, you cannot replace Han Solo, at least right now.”The 2018 film saw Alden Ehrenreich portray a young Han Solo, starring alongside an A-list cast that included Woody…

What is the Divinity release date? A new Divinity game is on the way, and thanks to a world premiere reveal, we’ve taken a first look at Larian’s gory new RPG and its hopes to bring you a game “with greater breadth and depth than ever before.” It’s hard to imagine a follow-up that could rival Baldur’s Gate 3, but if I can be honest, I’ve always enjoyed the Divinity series slightly more. There’s not much in it, but Divinity’s character creation freedom and penchant for straying into weirdness create much more mystery and unexpected moments than its DnD game…

Abandon your plans to run for public office. If you don’t, you’ll not be eligible to apply to be a contestant on the Fallout Shelter reality TV series Amazon are now working on, following the success of their other Fallout show. Stop protesting, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be locked in a set resembling a vault and subsequently have your mind messed with as you and your fellow inmates take on a bunch of challenges.

What are the best Hytale servers? Just like Minecraft, Hytale is a fantastic game to explore alone, but it’s so much better with others. After years spent making friends in Minecraft servers, we’ve now started looking for our new Hytale home. With the sandbox game having only launched recently, even Hytale server owners weren’t able to get anything built beforehand, so don’t expect anything ground-breaking from these servers just yet. Instead, it’s a great time to be among the first to claim your space, meet some new friends, and make a name for yourself as an early player in one…

Heading into launch, Anthem was often called a “Destiny killer” – though that was a label assigned by press and enthusiasts, not by the devs at BioWare themselves. Yet by the time Anthem launched in 2019, it seemed clear that the devs had missed some key lessons from Bungie’s looter shooter. As veteran producer Mark Darrah explains in a new interview, BioWare was still trying to take lessons from the venerable Diablo series rather than Destiny.”I think it took Anthem a very long time to admit to itself that it was a looter shooter,” Darrah tells Destin Legarie. That tracks…

According to long-time Bethesda developer and Skyrim co-lead designer Kurt Kuhlmann, he was originally told he’d be leading the charge on basting the great turkey that is the The Elder Scrolls 6. That didn’t end up coming to pass and, having left Bethesda back in 2023, the developer’s now spilled the beans as to the sort of story he envisioned the follow-up to The Elder Scrolls 6 telling.

More than a dozen Disney-published games have just been pulled from sale on Steam, and it’s yet another mark of disappointment for the age of digital preservation. While most of those that vanished aren’t to be found on our best Disney games list, having them suddenly stripped away feels bad, especially given that there was no prior warning to give players a last chance to grab them. The move has also affected some classic LucasArts games, and I’m particularly sad to see 1996 god sim Afterlife among them. The vast majority of the titles affected are old licensed games that…
