Working out how to change character in a free-to-play game like Mecha Break is always a challenge, as you walk the fine line between what you get for free and what they want you to pay for. Sadly, Mecha Break is pretty stingy in terms of character cosmetics—you'll be able to customize your character's base appearance, but beyond that, you'll have to shell out real cash to unlock outfits or...
The sales results from one retailer can't be used to judge the success of a product across the globe, but if those from German retailer Mindfactory are anything to go by, it would seem that PC gamers have really had enough of 8 GB graphics cards. So much so, they're willing to pay an extra €70 ($82) just to have the doubled VRAM version of the RTX 5060 Ti.When Nvidia...
I remember it well. Four years ago my friends and I were gearing up for the annual Minecraft Live broadcast, excited to see what the big update theme would be this year, but primarily concerned with one thing: The Minecraft mob vote.Back in 2021, the vote was between three mobs, the allay, the copper golem, and the glare. Each was predictably charming in its own way, but the one that...

After the rush of Summer Game Fest, June is a bit of a blur. And while the annual showing didn't have much to tease for July—the biggest games mostly set their sights on 2026—there's still plenty to tide you over. Not that some of us even need more games to add to the pile. My backlog spiraled out of control again somewhere between the last Baldur's Gate 3 update and...
Tyler Wilde, US EIC(Image credit: Future)This week: Enjoyed reading about Chris' zombie diagnosis adventures, listened to Sneaks - Look Like That (Ugo Banchi Remix).PC gaming's blowout sales are a highlight of the platform, but they do complicate the decision to buy a new game. Before dropping $60 or more, you've got to consider that unless the new game you're buying turns out to be a smash hit, it'll probably be...
MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER(Image credit: Future)This week: Tinkered with emulation on his Steam Deck, which was surprisingly easier than thinking of classics he cares to replay. Watched 28 Years Later around 14 days after watching 28 Days Later.Last night, I set off on my longest delivery yet in Death Stranding 2. I was to cross the entire chunk of Australia I'd discovered so far, weaving past bandit camps, over rivers,...
Earlier today, Bungie broadcast its final showcase ahead of the July 15 release of Destiny 2's Edge of Fate expansion. Largely it was the expected run though of new features like World Tiers and The Portal, the latter being a revamped homescreen that groups together the most relevant activities in the game and enables players to tweak their difficulty (and therefore loot).The devs did make mention of a new horde-mode...
Inspirational or utterly unwatchable—certainly controversial—YouTuber PewDiePie's latest ruse is one you might actually be interested in. He's deGoogling and using a Steam Deck of all things to help him along that path.Felix Kjellberg, to know him by his actual name, has a new video polemic taking you through the reasons why he's decided to cut Google out of his life and deep diving into all the methods and machinery he's...
Born on a mountain, raised in a cave, tweetin' and mindfreakin' is all Randy craves. Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has evaded the squad of tier-one operators who have presumably been dispatched to confiscate his phone and is merrily posting up a storm on X, "The Everything App," even after repeatedly making everyone very angry by tweeting a bunch about Borderlands 4's price and the willingness of "real fans" to pay...
