Borderlands 4 released to somewhat lukewarm reception (despite solid reviews) but the game’s PC port was the star of the show when it comes to that game’s issues, with it…
If you have been hankering for a new scifi singleplayer real-time strategy game – specifically, one in which the charm of your human protagonist is inversely proportional to the quality of the mechs – spare a few moments for ZeroSpace.

It’s out in early access on 20th July. Aside from top-down Starcraft-style combat, Zerospace offers…

After weeks of fervent rumors, Acer finally revealed the Predator Atlas 8 handheld yesterday – but that’s not the only new device heading our way. Alongside the chonky Intel Arc G3 system, the brand is also bringing its Nitro Blaze Link to market in 2026.This isn’t a hyper-expensive handheld PC, but it could pave the way for more interesting portable play.

Jagex’s annual summer roadmap update for Old School Runescape has arrived, and the rest of the year ahead is looking incredibly exciting. While the sheen of Leagues 6 has lost its luster, that’s only to be expected considering how hard I’ve gone on it. Fortunately, Vampyrium calls, and next month we’ll finally get to tackle OSRS’ new grandmaster quest, Blood Moon Rises. This isn’t the only new quest launching this year, however. There’s also the annual Summer Sweep Up, which is bringing some much-needed improvements to antiquated or underloved aspects of the MMO. Beyond all that, we have our first…

In this guide, we’re breaking down everything you need to…
Last month, Meta increased its Quest 3S pricing. This week, Sony launched its Days of Play sale, cutting $100 off the already-cheaper-than-launch PlayStation VR 2. You can bet on which one’s flying off the shelves right now.With the cheapest Meta Quest 3S now coming in at $349.99, the PlayStation VR 2’s $399.99 MSRP has been relatively unthreatening in the last few weeks. Now that Sony’s sale on the table, dropping that PlayStation and PC headset down to $299.99, it’s become the go-to for budget VR hunters. While the Quest 3S still sits sadly on the shelves, Amazon and Best Buy…
The Witcher 4 is the work of over twice as many CD Projekt developers as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the company’s executives have revealed. That’s approximately as many people as worked on Cyberpunk 2077, although naturally, the figure excludes a lot of external or infrequent contributors, such as voice actors.
