Where do you get fuel for the generator in Resident Evil Requiem? As Leon continues his journey through Raccoon City, he’ll stumble across a generator as he hunts for the parts he needs to build a detonator. To get it working, though, you’ll need to find some fuel. Much like in other parts of Resident Evil Requiem, you’ll have to wait a while until you actually get the fuel you need. We’ll run you through exactly what to expect next in the horror game, where you can get the fuel from, and when you should head back to the first…

I used to make jokes about how many “final” updates Terraria has had, but at this point, is it even a joke anymore? I think the launch of 1.4.5 marked the sixth final update for the sandbox game, but I’ve honestly lost track at this point. Yet, wouldn’t you know it? Just one month later, developer Re-Logic is already teasing even more content on the way.There are bug fixes and balance tweaks on the horizon, but that stuff’s to be expected. The real surprise in the latest Terraria State of the Game blog (spotted by PCGamesN) is “more items.””We’re experimenting…

Sometimes you get a note through the door, nestled among the bills and flyers for local takeaways. Oi, it says, some priest’s been murdered, and we need you to track down the folks on a list of Nazis he smuggled out of Germany after the war. Ok, you reply, it’s the 1970s and I’ve got nothing better to do. That’s the setup for Owlskip Games’ The Ratline, the Steam Next Fest demo of which has just put my beleaguered Monday brain to the test.

Nvidia’s latest financial results are in, and the AI and gaming GPU giant has unsurprisingly made vast sums of money in recent months. However, while it has seen growth in many areas, its revenue for gaming GPUs in the last three months actually dropped by 13% compared to the previous quarter. While this might seem a surprising change in fortunes for the maker of the best graphics card chips in the world, there are two very clear reasons for this outcome. Firstly, there’s the reason that Nvidia discusses in its Q4 fiscal report, which is that the quarter before this…

Earlier this month, Epic Games Store shyly announced that their free game giveaways are having “a measurable halo effect across the broader PC ecosystem”, increasing the sales of those games on Steam during the offer period. New Blood Interactive’s Dave Oshry has made the same argument a bit less sympathetically: boosting the profile of games already on Steam is the only reason to release anything on the Epic Games Store, even given Epic’s more generous developer revenue share, because EGS sucks.

We all hate cheaters and griefers. As a longtime League of Legends player and returning Overwatch obsessive, there’s nothing worse than loading into a game and getting instantly headshotted by a Widowmaker with an aimbot, or watching your mid-laner run it down as blue Nunu. Bad actors make the entire multiplayer game ecosystem worse, and it often feels like it’s not a high priority for developers. I see daily petitions to Riot’s head of LoL product Drew ‘Just a Capybara’ Levin to get players removed (sometimes successfully, other times not so much). I see weekly ban wave reports from various…

We have nearly sandblasted through February’s Steam Next Fest blowout before it ends on March 2, so Valve is commemorating the event’s halfway mark with official details on what made up its 10 most-played titles. I just… I think there’s something a little wrong with the publisher’s parameters. According to Valve, Bungie’s Server Slam for Marathon counts as a demo.The Marathon release date is set for March 5, but the Destiny developer is testing its new extraction FPS’ strength with the Marathon server slam beta period that began February 26. The idea was to run “a technical stress test,” as…

A lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Valve of “illegally promoting gambling through videogames popular with children and teenagers.” The developer behind Steam has long featured loot boxes in games including Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2, which offer a selection of typically cosmetic rewards that use a random roll to determine the prize awarded from a list when they are opened. The Office of the Attorney General alleges, “Valve has made billions of dollars luring its users, many of whom are teenagers or younger, to engage in gambling in the hopes of winning…

You simply will not guess the nature of Everything is Crab: The Animal Evolution Roguelite, an upcoming game from developer Odd Dreams Digital. This, you see, is a roguelite not far off the vein of Vampire Survivors about – and this is the clever part – evolving animals, specifically your animal, the one you’re directing around fields and tundras and deserts filled with other animals doomed to become your next meal. It’s a lovely little Steam Next Fest find, I’ll tell you that.Everything is Crab is less bullet heaven – which I’ve just accepted as workable shorthand for Vampire Survivors-likes…
