As Rockstar gear up to release GTA 6 (at least on consoles), spare a thought for Red Dead Online. The multiplayer element of Red Dead Redemption 2 had its steady flow of major update-carrying stagecoaches stopped all the way back in 2022, with its makers explicitly citing a desire to shift those development resources over to that next entry in the stealy wheels series. There’ve been a few moments in the years since when Red Dead Online has looked a bit like it might bounce back to prominence, but nothing substantial in that vein has materialised. It essentially had a…

I finally understand why I clicked with Diablo so profoundly as a child struggling with ADHD: the action-RPG was literally designed to remove as many barriers as possible between the player and “clubbing a skeleton.”In an interview originally conducted by Edge magazine, now republished in Playmakers: The Inside Stories of 30 Iconic Video Games, Condor (later renamed Blizzard North) co-founder Max Schaefer shared some of the earliest design philosophies that informed the conception of Diablo. According to Schaefer, the creators felt RPGs at the time were too complicated, took to long to get to the good stuff, and focused on…

Moderate spoilers for Subnautica 2’s incomplete early access storyline follow. When I play Subnautica 2, I often feel as though I am swimming in two worlds simultaneously. On the one hand, there’s the world that goes on without me, the world of wonky indigenous beings living out their lives, careless of my presence: shoals of unharvestable fish swizzing past like dropped fireworks, growth cycles half-deciphered in flooded laboratories, crested hammerheads idly circling their territories. On the other, there’s the world that goes on for me, its rewards and hazards colour-coded and reasonably predictable, its flora and fauna gated-off and…

Looks like the Steam Deck OLED is off my affordable gaming handheld list, as Valve quite quietly increased the 1TB model to just under a grand. Launched originally with a $649 / £569 MSRP, the price hike means it’s only $50 less than the ROG Xbox Ally X, and I’m now pretty concerned about future Steam Machine costs.Just to confirm, the Steam Deck OLED 1TB now costs $949/ £779 direct at Valve, while the 512GB model comes in at $789 / £649. Earlier today, all versions of the handheld were out of stock at the US site, but new MSRPs…

Cosy life sim Paralives launched into early access this week, sweetening the initial reception with a roadmap full of free goodies. I’ve been looking forward to the game, if only because there has been such disappointment of late on the life sim front – Paradox Tectonic’s Life By You fell foul of funding cuts, Inzoi is a horrible haunted Botox catalogue, and EA’s plans for The Sims 5 remain nebulous and live-servicey. Paralives? It appears both throwback and forward-thinking, a game of rosy cheeks, antique shops and smaller mechanical touches like skill progression juddering to a halt if your character’s…

In a perfect world, we’d all be sitting playing GTA 6 right now. The game would have launched on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, as it was originally supposed to. Alas, we don’t live in that utopia, and GTA 6 has been delayed until the fall, much to the chagrin of gamers everywhere. Ever since, the memes have been flowing, and it isn’t just confined to the world of gaming either, as now WWE Hall of Famer and seven-time Women’s Champion Trish Stratus has laid the smackdown on Rockstar for the wait. The “we got [blank] before GTA 6” memes have…
