Microsoft has been extremely busy lately, taking a well-earned break from polluting the world with AI to eviscerate the videogame industry. The reports of potential layoffs and closures—coupled with the short-sighted strategies of other publishers, including main rival Sony—are devastating. And the bad news just keeps coming. According to The Verge, Arkane's Blade is now on the chopping block as well. This wasn't entirely unexpected, granted. While Arkane's games tend...
We've survived the June deluge and… Wait, somehow there are even more cozy games launching in July? I've counted up 30 new cozy games worth taking a peek at this month. That's way too many for me or anyone else though, so as usual I've called up my cozy comrades to pick the ones they're most looking forward to that you might want to look closer at too. As ever,...
With AI data centers swallowing up every bit of memory storage around, it should come as no surprise that some creative engineers might be looking at alternatives. Most aren't going to be considering solutions from the 1950/1960s, of course, but that's precisely what one self-professed tinkerer did to create the "world's worst USB device".Tech YouTuber polymatt recently posted a video of the reasoning, technology, and construction of the aforementioned device,...
I'm a big fan of this mildly anachronistic gaming laptop. It's thick, can be loud, but it delivers on gaming performance and does so for an affordable price tag. The RTX 5070 Ti at its heart is a quality 12 GB mobile GPU, has a 140 W power limit, and if you run it on balanced mode you'll still get good gaming performance without the turbine whine of the fans....
The Entertainment Software Association, in an ongoing attempt to slow the roll of the games conservation movement Stop Killing Games, made a baffling statement at a recent California State Senate hearing over a proposed Protect Our Games Act that goes as follows:"[Private servers are] illegal. They are not in any way affiliated with Microsoft. Microsoft, for Minecraft, has gotten a lot of criticism because of those community servers not employing...
After nearly two decades of supporting the PS3 console generation, we wanted to let you know we will be closing the PlayStation Store on PS3, as well as on PS Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close in select markets starting this year, followed by global closures for PS3 and PS Vita next year. That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on...
As consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to shift away from physical discs to digital, physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will be discontinued starting January 2028. Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only. This transition has no impact on games that already released, or will be releasing, prior to January 2028...
Sometimes I think I understand the scale of a viral indie sensation like Vampire Survivors or Peak taking Steam by storm, selling millions of copies in a matter of days or weeks. Then I look at the numbers from another angle and it hits me all over again: Jesus, that is a lot of money.This latest mind boggle comes courtesy of Meccha Chameleon, which, as we reported over the weekend,...
Earlier this month, former SIE Worldwide Studios chairman Shawn Layden said the still-ongoing flailing at Xbox "evince a basic misunderstanding of how the interactive entertainment world moves." Harsh words indeed—but lest you think he's just a partisan hater, he's now taken aim at his former company, Sony, and its pullback from the PC market.It's been quite a turnaround from Sony. After years of dogged exclusivity, Sony began releasing its games...
