I’m a huge fan of the Steam Workshop. I’ve been PC gaming for long enough to know my way around using standalone launchers and installers, as well as the big third-party mod distribution sites. For sheer ease of use, however, it’s impossible to beat just clicking a button on Steam and instantly adding new content to your favorite PC games, or fixing a frustration with help from a community-made solution. Valve has been working to overhaul its entire app in 2026, and has just released a new Steam Workshop update that makes modding even easier. Previously available through beta testing,…
A new report confirms that we aren’t losing our minds: the wait between new seasons of our favorite TV shows is getting longer and longer.According to a press release from Ampere Analysis, the average gap between seasons of scripted original series has almost doubled from 12 months in 2020 to 21 months in 2025. The report cites Stranger Things, Severance, and Wednesday as the biggest examples, noting that the latter two generated “almost twice the average engagement levels” despite lengthy waits between seasons. I would argue that Severance came back bigger and better than ever, despite the three-year wait between…
Riot Games has released a new dev video, detailing everything coming with League of Legends Season 2 Act 2. Though the studio hasn’t said much about new character Locke, it’s been far more forthcoming with details surrounding major changes to ARAM Mayhem, as well as the long-awaited return of Ranked 5s. Of course, no dev update is complete without a cosmetics reveal, and the Sinful Shores skin line has News Ed Lauren and I gnawing at the bars of our cages. League of Legends dev duo Andrei ‘Meddler’ van Roon and Paul ‘Pabro’ Bellezza are pretty coy on Locke in…
We’ve known since 2024 that Ciri is replacing Geralt as the protagonist of The Witcher 4, a move that carries huge implications for the fourquel’s gameplay and story, but developer CD Projekt Red is giving Geralt one last hurrah in the upcoming Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past.Being developed in tandem with The Witcher remake studio Fool’s Theory, Songs of the Past is due to release on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC some time in 2027. Beyond those key details, we don’t know a whole lot about the expansion, but CDPR has said it’s a “major [piece] of…
Doom and Quake were the heavy hitters among ’90s FPS games, although I’m sure most know the likes of Duke Nukem 3D as well. Aficionados will remember other names: Heretic, Hexen, Blood, and so on. Unless you were there at the time, however, you might have missed Witchaven and its sequel. If you wanted to catch up on the Capstone Software classics, both have been available on Steam courtesy of publisher SNEG for several years – but they’ll soon be going away. The good news is that you can grab them at less than a dollar each before they do.…
Like a hyena on an injured lion, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney is jumping Valve co-founder Gabe Newell while he’s down in the immediate aftermath of this week’s Steam Deck price hike that took the handheld’s top OLED model all the way up to $950.It’s a rare sight to see an industry leader forgo the usual business formalities that typically mask long-simmering rivalries between top-level competitors, but on Thursday, May 28, just a day after Valve revealed its new Steam Deck pricing, Sweeney sent out a blistering tweet obviously, but not explicitly, aimed at Newell. In the tweet, Sweeney sarcastically feigns…
Last year, more than 30 Rockstar Games staff members were fired in an act of alleged union busting by the GTA 6 developer. Rockstar claimed that this firing was because said devs were leaking features from upcoming games. Following this, the UK’s IWGB filed legal claims against the studio due to them supposedly refusing to negotiate over firings, a case which continues on to this day. Now, Rockstar devs have gone public with their union, calling themselves the Rockstar IWGB Game Workers Union. “We didn’t think this is how we’d be launching the public face of the Rockstar…
Infinity Ward dumped a metric ton of Modern Warfare 4 on me. In a secret briefing, I was given everything from a release date to campaign details, multiplayer improvements, and a lot more I can’t talk about right now. I’d say I can barely move, but since it’s adding a bunch of new movement tech to the FPS game as well, I’ll probably be fine. Here’s what you need to know. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4’s release date is October 23, 2026. It will be available on PC, current-gen Xbox consoles, and Playstation 5, with a Switch 2 version…
Donkey Kong 64 has a mixed reputation these days, thanks to its often bloated design and downright dizzying array of collectables. But while there were certainly some people who were complaining about those things back in the day, it didn’t stop Donkey Kong 64 from becoming the best-selling game of 1999 on any platform, dethroning even the millennial monster of Pokemon Red and Blue.”According to Circana’s Retail Tracking Service, Donkey Kong 64 was the #1 best-selling video game of 1999 in the US market in dollars, besting Pokémon Red/Blue,” according to Mat Piscatella on Bluesky. The OG Pokemon games had…
Subnautica 2 has been such a resounding success for Unknown Worlds that publisher Krafton is going to have to pay $250 million to the game’s developers. This comes after a year’s worth of turbulence between the companies, which started with Unknown Worlds CEO Ted Gill and members of the senior staff getting fired back in July 2025, and a judge ordering their reinstatement in March 2026. The game, which was released on May 14, has seen not only critical success (we called it beautiful and expansive in our Subnautica 2 review of early access) but commercial success too, selling two…
