Microsoft Recall's security woes have come back to the fore after a test caught the AI screenshotting tool capturing sensitive data (again). Ahead of its public beta release in April, Microsoft made a slew of security updates to Recall, including adding a filter that's supposed to block Recall from recording passwords, credit card info, social security numbers, and similar sensitive data. It looks like more fine-tuning is still needed.The Register's...

If your next Peak run looks impossible, it just might be. On Saturday, dev Aggro Crab posted a screenshot of an impossible-to-reach campfire that spawned on top of an unclimbable tree. Peak is challenging, but it's not supposed to be quite that challenging.Aggro Crab explained the glitch in a post on X (with a string of crying emojis): "A modder in discord has informed me that in two days there...

In a new video on his YouTube channel, RPG veteran Tim Cain outlined the challenges inherent to remastering Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, one of the true hardcore sicko legends of CRPGs, and a game that could really use a remaster.Vexingly, it sounds like the dark ritual to reanimate Arcanum is pretty much all set up for some corporate necromancer to step in and utter an incantation, particularly when...

Most months at least have one or two, but August 2025 is truly the month of videogame remakes and remasters. Two of those repackaged classics make our list of monthly highlights: Gears of War: Reloaded and Metal Gear Solid Delta. Coincidentally, it's also a pretty big month for games with "Gear" in the title.As for genuinely new adventures, we're still a little light, but that's probably for the best with...

Death Stranding 2 is stuffed with all sorts of ridiculous cameos, but one of the most bizarre inclusions is extremely popular Japanese-speaking vtuber Usada Pekora. Even though it's no surprise at this point to see Hideo Kojima find a way to insert his favorite celebrities into his games, the CEO of the company Pekora streams for is aiming to have many more collabs in the future.Speaking to PC Gamer in...
