Valve's new Steam AI disclosure cares about what you actually see, stressing that behind-the-scenes dev tools are "not the focus"
As the generative-AI debate rages on unceasing (and likely will for as long as I care to think ahead), Valve has updated the declaration form used by developers submitting their games to Steam to reflect a focus on things that are "consumed by players." For the most part, that'll mean anything in-game, from art assets to music or writing, but it also...
Old School Runescape just made new players' lives much easier without immediately killing the spirit of the classic MMO
Old School Runescape just made new players' lives much easier without immediately killing the spirit of the classic MMO
With even the BBC and MSN kicking off the new year with talk of Old School Runescape, it's only a matter of time before one of the most beloved and best MMORPGs around closes in on its highest concurrent player record yet again. And in a likely attempt to retain an influx of people who weren't even born in time for its 10th anniversary, the franchise's 25th...
Grand Theft Auto 5's new raid mode takes hints from CSGO and Rainbow Six Siege, and it's got me dreaming about GTA 6
Grand Theft Auto 5's new raid mode takes hints from CSGO and Rainbow Six Siege, and it's got me dreaming about GTA 6
GTA 5 is going to remain the go-to virtual crime haven for quite some time to come, like it or not. GTA 6's console release is all the way off in November, and there's still no word on when it'll come to PC, meaning we probably won't see it in 2026. But the new GTA Online Mansion Raid mode has delivered in a way I didn't expect, drawing inspiration from tactical...
Hytale comes full circle as modder transforms it back into Minecraft, right down to The End
Hytale comes full circle as modder transforms it back into Minecraft, right down to The End
In a fittingly full-circle sort of way, it's taken avid Minecraft enjoyers only a couple of days to splice the best parts of the game that inspired Hytale into Hytale, letting those who have waited seven years for what they might call Minecraft 2 play Minecraft in what is not really Minecraft 2. Yes, I'm being serious. And with a general lack of player direction in the new king of sandbox games,...
The next Europa Universalis 5 update tackles its awkward UI, and adds a beloved feature from EU4's DLC
The next Europa Universalis 5 update tackles its awkward UI, and adds a beloved feature from EU4's DLC
Europa Universalis 5 marks the rebirth of one of Paradox's defining grand strategy games, and that sort of fresh start always comes with some teething issues. To development studio Paradox Tinto's credit, EU5 doesn't make the mistake of simply trying to be EU4-2, and instead leans into its own strengths. It's got a great core, but that can't compete with the decade-plus of support and...
Sorry, Epic's taking back those 'free' Fortnite V-Bucks from the Dumb Ways To Die bundle exploit
Sorry, Epic's taking back those 'free' Fortnite V-Bucks from the Dumb Ways To Die bundle exploit
People say there's no such thing as a free lunch, and in much the same manner any opportunity to claim 'free' Fortnite V-Bucks is likely to come with a catch. So when players found a way to grab 800 V-Bucks for nothing using the new Dumb Ways to Die item gift bundle, it was only a matter of time before Epic Games took action. Predictably, it's done exactly that, temporarily removing the...
Arc Raiders' huge success gives Embark the "opportunity to do bigger things" and cook up a more "ambitious" roadmap
Arc Raiders' huge success gives Embark the "opportunity to do bigger things" and cook up a more "ambitious" roadmap
12.4 million. That's how many copies of Arc Raiders Embark has shifted so far - a monumental achievement for a multiplayer game that, this time last year, wasn't really on most people's radar. Even I, as someone who enjoyed Embark's first game, The Finals, and had a close eye on Arc Raiders from the beginning, would've never predicted this level of success. But what...
Massive war game Foxhole is about to change forever as new Airborne update takes the battle to the skies
Massive war game Foxhole is about to change forever as new Airborne update takes the battle to the skies
Studying WW1 and WW2 in school, one of the hardest things to wrap my head around was the sheer scale. It's something even the best war games struggle to capture. Battlefield 1 certainly sold the terrifying brutality of being among the action, but can't easily replicate the relentless battle of attrition. Hearts of Iron 4 conveys size better, but places you above proceedings in a way...
Cutesy Stardew-like life sim with millions of players just hit Steam, but the PC version is a letdown and it's awful news for Steam Deck
Cutesy Stardew-like life sim with millions of players just hit Steam, but the PC version is a letdown and it's awful news for Steam Deck
If you frequent the cozy game space, there's little chance you won't have heard of Heartopia by now. While sandbox players have been foaming over Hytale this week, building houses brick-by-brick, the life game lovers looking for their next Stardew Valley-style fixation have been erecting homes with flat walls, swimming pools, and adorable coffee...
Sci-fi survival game Once Human's got a new set of dangerous creatures, and one will haunt my nightmares for weeks
Sci-fi survival game Once Human's got a new set of dangerous creatures, and one will haunt my nightmares for weeks
I've encountered all manner of enemies in my time playing games, but some really stick with you for just how unsettling they are. Monster Hunter's Khezu, complete with its silent soundtrack. Bloodborne's lurching, squelching Brainsuckers. That horrifying baby from Resident Evil Village. Well, Once Human just made the list with the introduction of its biomechanical...
The Destiny 2 Portal is a disaster, and a 2016 GDC talk shows that Bungie already wrote off a similar idea a decade ago
The Destiny 2 Portal is a disaster, and a 2016 GDC talk shows that Bungie already wrote off a similar idea a decade ago
The Destiny 2 Portal was one of Bungie's biggest recent gambles, and so far it's largely been a pretty disappointing one. Introduced as an overhaul to the iconic 'Director,' it aimed to wrestle the FPS game's increasingly cluttered and unwieldy map of destinations into a more streamlined progression system. The pitch was to offer "quick and clean access to a wider...
New Torchlight Infinite update adds its fastest hero ever, and a crafting system that totally breaks the Diablo rival's build restrictions
New Torchlight Infinite update adds its fastest hero ever, and a crafting system that totally breaks the Diablo rival's build restrictions
When it comes to the best games like Diablo, there are plenty of real heavy hitters. While Path of Exile is still held up as the gold standard by most, I'll always make time for a new Torchlight Infinite season. XD's free-to-play ARPG is probably the fastest-moving around, and it packs so many additions into each major update that it rivals even the...
