PvP is the reason Arc Raiders works – love it or hate it, even Embark's design lead says it "adds the spice"
When I listened to members of Embark Studios explain pre-launch why Arc Raiders was pivoting away from its original vision of pure PvE and free-to-play monetization, it never once registered as a game for me – someone who avoids PvP and has never played an extraction shooter. Cut to today and Arc Raiders is my most-played game of the past few months. Steam tells me I’m creeping up on 200 hours, and while I don’t play as ravenously as I did over the holiday break, I can’t resist a few raids each day. “Is this how smoking feels?” I asked…
The Elder Scrolls 6 in the Summerset Isles would be cool, or so recently unearthed Daggerfall-era dev D&D notes have convinced me
As someone who admittedly struggles to feel at home whenever I try to go back and play the older Elder Scrolls entries, I’m surprised how fun I’ve found reading through some notes from a D&D game some devs on the series played around the time of Daggerfall’s development. Said notes have just been made public following the recent death of Julian LeFay, a key figure in the early days of Bethesda, who hosted this freshly unearthed campaign and another more well-known one.

NBA 2K Mobile codes are in high demand from players, as they unlock new superstar cards to build your team with, as well as coins to make in-game purchases with and other boosters to speed up your progress.

For the latest on current codes for NBA 2K Mobile and how to redeem them, read on.If you’re also shooting hoops on console or PC, then we have the…
Forza Horizon 6's release date might have raced onto the streets faster than planned, thanks to an ad
What’s that screaming around the bend, tyres squealing and RPMs peaking? It’s Forza Horizon 6’s release date arriving ahead of schedule, assuming a pop-up ad allegedly spotted in Forza Horizon 5 is the genuine article. If that’s the case, then the open-world racing series’ trip to Japan is booked to arrive in May this year.
Escape From Tarkov lead seems to be teasing a new game with big Starfield energy, but it may be something far more disappointing
Escape From Tarkov has been Battlestate Games’ life for almost a decade now. From bringing the main game to Steam, finally launching version 1.0, and releasing its PvP-focused spinoff EFT Arena, Battlestate has poured everything it has into Tarkov and its community. While there’s still ongoing support and DLC planned for the extraction shooter, it appears that the studio’s head honcho, Nikita Buyanov, is teasing something new. Due to the elaborate nature of the cryptic teasers he’s been posting recently, and a newly discovered website teeing up a space sci-fi universe, it feels like we could be getting a first…

Marvel fans are trying to work out why the MCU hasn't given us a Shang-Chi 2 yet, after watching "charismatic" Simu Liu in new thriller series
It may have been five whole years since the release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but Marvel fans are still asking themselves (and each other) why the studio fumbled the bag with Simu Liu’s superhero…After binge-watching the actor in Peacock’s new thriller series The Copenhagen Test, one viewer took to Reddit to point out how “charismatic” Liu is in the show – and question why he hasn’t been seen again in MCU since his debut in 2021.”He’s funny, grounded, and has real leading-man presence,” iF4RT3D continued. “What I don’t get is why Marvel never really followed…
Valve stress again that there'll be more Steam Machine Verified games than Steam Deck ones, with "fewer constraints" in their testing programme
Regardless of whether you’ve laid hands on the plastic contours of a Steam Deck, you’ve probably seen the Steam Deck Verified programme in action: badges of honour (or of ‘Unsupported’ disgrace) on a game’s Steam store page, reflecting how well it runs and plays on the portable PC per Valve’s in-house testing. The programme is being expanded to include the upcoming Steam Machine too, and is set to bestow a lot more games with Steam Machine Verified status, given what a Valve designer calls “fewer restraints” in their judging criteria. Lawrence Yang – who’s worked on the new Machine, the…
