Modern Warfare 4 is sending us to North Korea, but its new bullet tech is perhaps its best bit
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…
Pragmata leads love when you say it feels like a PS3 game, because that was a time when "a lot of different developers and publishers were experimenting"
From early previews through to critic and user reviews, a common bit of feedback on Pragmata, Capcom’s shooter-puzzle action game about dismantling rogue robots on the moon, is that it feels like something from a different era. Many people compared it to the tight, linear action games of the PS3 and Xbox 360, and I was delighted to see many people cite Platinum Games’ Vanquish specifically (in part for its similar weapon system). Our Pragmata review is similarly positive.Pragmata director Yonghee Cho and producer Naoto Oyama have clearly heard this feedback before. When I asked them about it in a…
Red Frame is a Witnessian puzzle game where every red frame you find has a conundrum for you to solve
There are plenty of philosophical critiques to be had of The Witness (and its creator at large), but there was something still quite appealing about the idea of a world harbouring puzzles in unexpected places. Thankfully, there’s a new one of those on the way that can knock The Witness off of its podium called Red Frame, a time manipulation game set in a buried mansion where if you can see something that might look like a red frame, you’re certain to find a puzzle. This very thinky game was shown off thanks to the Thinky Direct (important…
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE could finally be about to get a worldwide release date, according to a new rumor. The currently China-only RX 9070 variant could represent a more affordable mid-range option for gamers looking to spend a little less than the ~$650 needed for an RX 9070 or RTX 5070, but without compromising too much on speed. The standard RX 9070 currently tops our best graphics card guide, as based on current prices, AMD’s current second-fastest RX 9000 series card offers the best frame rate to price ratio. If the RX 9070 GRE can come in at…

Xbox CEO says Game Pass price cuts are "a good first step" but the company has a lot more to do
Last month, Microsoft announced that it was dramatically lowering the price of Xbox Game Pass, as the company’s gaming division tries to win back fans under the leadership of new CEO Asha Sharma. It seems the move is already starting to pay off – at least, that’s how Sharma herself seems to feel according to a leaked internal memo.”Growth slowed down and subscriber loss accelerated after the pricing and SKU changes last year,” Sharma said in a note to Xbox employees last week, as reported by The Verge (paid article link). That would be when the price of Xbox Game…
Planet Zoo 2 is on the way later this year, adding in aquatic animals as a big win for mola mola lovers
Truth be told, in the leadup to the proper reveal of Planet Zoo 2, with developer Frontier Developments not so subtly teasing it, my immediate thought was, “didn’t that come out already?” Apparently not! For Planet Zoo 2 has in fact now been revealed, and is yet to be released. An announcement trailer shows it off a touch, though not in any mechanical detail, and to be honest my fight or flight is being set off by the human zoo visitors in a way I don’t want to sit with. Enough of that for the moment though. The…
Taking cues from the deluge of One Piece-inspired adventures on the platform, these Legend Piece codes will net you what you want – free coins and gems to buy up devil fruits and spin for powerful race traits. Legend Piece looks, sounds, and plays like a modern take on one of Roblox’s most resilient games. The sort that can gleefully go a whole year without an update while still welcoming thousands of players at any one time. So, if you’re waiting on a major patch for that one, setting off on a brand new adventure in Legend Piece might be…
