Not the year of RedStar on the desktop.

The GTA 6 pre-orders are going live soon, letting you pre-purchase your chosen edition of the game for when it launches in November. You might be wondering why there's so much fuss around a pre-order, but since GTA 5, a GTA release has become a once-in-a-decade global phenomenon, even if it isn't confirmed when we'll be getting it on our personal computers.Rockstar has officially released info explaining when pre-orders go...

I confess, even after several years writing about videogames for money, I still have to pause sometimes and remember which CD Projekt is which. I use this handy mnemonic rhyme: If CD Projekt Red you see, that's the folks who made The Witcher 3. If CD Projekt alone you view, that's the parent company. Doo bee doo.But I guess it's time for me to throw that rhyme out, because CD...

We've gotten a good eyeful of the new Captain America swimsuit skin coming to Marvel Rivals, and I'm going to stop things briefly right here for a quick content warning: If you don't want to be looking at what PC Gamer's Chris Livingston described as "a new source of vibranium," avert your gaze now, because this thing is huge and I honestly don't know how it got into the game.You...

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has made a number of big changes since taking over from former chief Phil Spencer. Some of them—dialling back Game Pass, leaning into exclusives—collectively represent a pretty clear repudiation of Spencer's strategies. In a new interview with Fortune (via Game Developer), Sharma was more explicit about her belief that Spencer got it wrong, saying that as a result of his approach, "[we] spread ourselves too thin.""In...

Last month at the PC Gaming Show we got to bring you a behind-the-scenes look at Total War: Warhammer 40,000 including glimpses of a battle between the Astra Militarum and orks. The video above, revealed at BiliBili World, is a more detailed look at the same battle in the Armageddon Theatre campaign, and looks sick as hell.Though I'm not convinced my PC will be able to run it. Seeing the...

Without naming names, I feel like we all have a pretty good idea which games, or game series, produce a ton of DLC. You can probably think of a dozen or so off the top of your head that have a strong reputation for regularly releasing paid add-ons, right? But how deep does your knowledge of DLC really go?Let's find out with a quick game of Hi-Lo, or maybe you...

The Palworld 1.0 update adds 72 new pals—most of which you can catch, while the remainder at least adds an updated entry to your Palpedia. That's a big undertaking with the expanded Palpagos map and the new World Tree region to explore, and referencing the in-game map can be a real pain, but that's where I come in to hopefully make the process a bit easier. How to catch every...

The Blizzard developer who was caught using World of Warcraft game master (GM) abilities to insta-kill two bosses for some friends has been fired from the studio.Earlier this week, a Reddit user posted combat logs of a Mythic+ dungeon where a boss with almost full health died instantly to a GM ability. Not long after, another Reddit user found evidence that the GM did the same thing to a boss...

Remember when Battlefield 6 dropped in 2025 and it was a big hit, selling seven million copies in three days and becoming the first Battlefield game to outsell a competing Call of Duty? And then Electronic Arts rewarded the people who made it by laying off an undisclosed number of them?
