PlayStation 5 enjoyed a stronger-than-expected holiday sales season, matching PS4 during the same period despite a much higher price point, and outselling Nintendo Switch 2.In its latest financial results covering the three months to December 31, 2025, Sony sold in some 8.1 million PlayStation 5 consoles – just 0.1 million less than PlayStation 4 managed during the same period of its lifecycle.

The first trailer for Netflix’s War Machine is here, and despite the title matching the name of Don Cheadle’s MCU superhero identity, the film has nothing to do with Marvel. Instead, it focuses on Reacher star Alan Ritchson as a US Army Ranger in training who comes up against a totally unexpected foe.Here’s the trailer: WAR MACHINE | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube Watch On As you can see, Ritchson’s Ranger, codenamed ’81’, will have to lead his squad of trainees in a seemingly hopeless battle against some kind of giant mech of undetermined origin. In practice, it kinda…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 turns one year old today (they grow up so fast), and Warhorse has shared some startling statistics about what we’ve been up to as the affable Henry of Skalitz. Apparently, we’re a bunch of murderous, drunken, fruit-obsessed thugs, for the most part.Over on Twitter, Warhorse shared an infographic on player activity in the year since Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 launched, and it looks like players aren’t much for no-kill runs. Collectively, we’ve killed 452.8 million NPCs – more than the estimated population of the world in the 15th century, where the game takes place – and…

Marvel Rivals owner Netease has responded to a strange situation in which Japanese developer Goichi Suda (Suda51) suggested the company had shuttered its generative AI research department and instructed its development teams to avoid the technology. Eager to set the record straight, Netease says no, it is still very much investing in AI tech.As Eurogamer reports, Suda said, “They originally had a section researching and developing AI-related stuff, but at one point they decided not to do that any more. They folded that section and told their studios to not use AI in games, to not use it at all.”It…
The future of the Kickstarter-funded MMO Ashes of Creation looks unclear at best and dire at worst, and if you’re among the masses who bought the game on Steam and feel you aren’t getting your money’s worth, you might have success simply asking for a refund.For some context, Ashes of Creation was the most successful MMO Kickstarter campaign ever, with the fundraiser launching in 2017 and raising almost $3.3 million. The game itself finally launched into Steam Early Access in December, and only a few weeks later its success would crumble into ashes (sorry) with the abrupt resignation of top…
James Marsden, who makes his return as Cyclops in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, is setting a high bar for the massive MCU crossover movie, promising fans of the classic X-Men that they’ll be pleased with the film.”Yeah, of course,” Marsden tells Entertainment Tonight at the Apple TV+ slate event when asked if Avengers: Doomsday would give fans of the old school movie X-Men and his character Cyclops what they’re hoping to see before jokingly cautioning “I’ve also been trained not to speak about this particular project.”Though he takes care not to spoil a single shred of the film’s plot, he…
Microtransactions are, in many ways, a necessary evil. While developers of free online multiplayer games rely on them to keep the lights on, a lot of players simply wish that they weren’t there at all. While supporting a videogame is entirely your choice, the level of predatory MTXs feels like it’s consistently ramping up, becoming more invasive, more aggressive, and, most importantly, more expensive. Warframe, like any other game, has a premium currency (called Platinum) that you can either splash the cash on, or collect as you play. The latter part, in my opinion, makes it a lot more friendly…
Looks like the Steam Machine is going to be a little more expensive than expected due to what Valve calls a “rapidly” increasing shortage of storage and memory.In a new update on the Steam Hardware lineup that was announced in November, Valve says it initially planned to reveal pricing and release timing details by now, but the ongoing and unprecedented memory chip shortage – made worse by a surge in demand from AI data centers, according to the International Data Corporation – threw a wrench in those plans.”The memory and storage shortages you’ve likely heard about across the industry have…
With almost every major games publisher and parent company talking excitedly about generative AI and the opportunities it could bring, I was taken aback this morning to see talk on my social media feed about NetEase reportedly scrapping a division dedicated to gen-AI and telling employees they were no longer allowed to use it. Unconventional, given how the likes of Ubisoft, Krafton, and Take-Two have all (to varying degrees) shown an openness to embrace AI tech. These claims appear to have arisen from comments made by beloved game creator and Grasshopper Manufacture founder, Goichi ‘Suda51’ Suda. However, having contacted NetEase…
