One month ago, Nintendo announced that the Switch 2 had sold 3.5 million units in four days after its June 5 launch, making it Nintendo’s fastest-selling console ever, and likely the biggest console launch of all time. It seems the new Switch is maintaining that momentum. Last week, an apparently accidental data leak on Nintendo’s corporate website suggested that the new console had either sold or was projected to sell...
Naughty Dog just can’t quit remastering, remaking, and tinkering with The Last of Us. In a surprise free update announced Tuesday, the developer rolled out a Chronological mode for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. Fans of the 2020 Game of the Year winner will remember its story was told in distinct, non-chronological sections. Players first controlled Ellie exploring Seattle on her quest for revenge. When Ellie and Abby...
Hello! My name is Michael Frei. I worked on Time Flies, a game where you play as a fly coming July 31st to PlayStation 5! It’s a game you may have seen first revealed on the PlayStation Blog a few years ago, and now it’s finally almost here. Before you start playing as a fly, we check where the game is played from.

Time Flies — a game in which players step into the shoes (er, wings?) of a common housefly with a brief lifespan and a long bucket list — finally has a release date. Publisher Panic (Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game) and developer Playables (KIDS, Plug & Play) first announced the game during 2022’s Summer Game Fest, but it’s been crickets from the devs in the years since. Now, however, Time Flies...
Glitches are a funny thing. If a game has too many, the experience might be ruined. But as Bethesda has repeatedly proven, there’s definitely a middle ground for glitches as well. A game can be rife with unintended moments, but if they’re harmless — or better yet, funny — a player is much more willing to forgive digital mishaps. When it comes to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Cyrodiil...
Dead by Daylight is welcoming some familiar faces from AMC’s The Walking Dead into the Fog as playable Survivors: the husband and wife team of Rick Grimes and Michonne (aka The Ones Who Live).

For nearly three decades, it has been gaming’s most ruthless foe: the blue shell. First introduced in 1996’s Mario Kart 64, I’d wager that the dreaded homing missile has been the cause of more broken controllers than every FromSoftware game combined. It’s an agent of chaos whose sole goal is to screw over whoever is in first place at the precise wrong moment, whether that’s when driving over a gap...
I'm downright curious about Borderlands 4—having played most entrants in the series, it's been interesting to see it mostly capture a good narrative essence with Borderlands 2, then spend the rest of its library uh… not doing that. Which is why this sequel's been intriguing to me, given promises the game'll be cutting back on "toilet humor" and irreverent meme culture.A recent story explainer in Beyond the Borderlands #2 looks...
