Every game has achievements to unlock for going out of your way to perform specific tasks. These tasks usually range from simple to very difficult, and 007 First Light does not shy away from asking you to complete some daunting tasks.

We are in the final stretch of the gaming announcement seasona stage previously occupied by the now-defunct E3and a Nintendo Direct has just closed the curtains. I was expecting some good announcements, but not ones that would almost give me a heart attack. The best among them was a brand-new HD-2D Final Fantasy spinoff called Final Fantasy Resonance, which was not only announced for all platforms but is already just around the corner, with a release planned for 22 October 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Windows.

How do you get Valorant Twitch drops? It's not often we get gifted Valorant Twitch drops by Riot, but a big event comes around once in a while that spurs the team into giving away a few in-game treats. With VCT 2026 here, it's time to keep an eye out for more Valorant Twitch drops. We're sure you're tuning into the action anyway, so you may as well earn something while you're at it when drop campaigns do crop up. You won't find Valorant skins on offer here, but Riot does come up with the goods in the cosmetics department elsewhere.

A Hardcore save in Minecraft is truly one of the game's greatest challenges, but for too long, players have been able to use commands and change the gamemode as a way of getting around those pesky rules. Thankfully, Mojang has finally addressed this issue, with the 26.2 Pre-Release 5 update closing the loopholes that allowed players to cheat.

Stars Reach is the upcoming sci-fi sandbox MMO from former Ultima design lead Raph Koster's Playable Worlds. It's a hugely ambitious project, integrating all sorts of simulatory tech to give players a ridiculous level of control over their environments.

The sheer scale of proceduralism at play is impressive, and as Koster explains to Tom at Summer Game Fest, makes it almost impossible to accurately map through wikis.

The world of gaming chairs has, for a long time, been dominated by bulky, garish options with car racing seat-inspired designs, and Secretlab has been no stranger to this. Its Titan Evo gaming chair is excellent and is available in some subtle color options, but it's a big chair with mostly quite bold design options. The new Secretlab Atlas, then - the company's first new chair design in four years - is something a little different. The Atlas is Secretlab's first task-focused chair, as opposed to being explicitly a gaming chair. What does that actually mean? Well, as I explain in the FAQ of our best gaming chair guide, it's a bit of a gray area. But, essentially, gaming chairs tend to be focused on those features mentioned above, with a certain look, but also a versatility that means they can work well for laid back lounging, sitting up on while cross legged, or for taking a nap on - the Recliner Add-on for the Titan Evo transforms it into the ultimate napping gaming chair. Meanwhile, a task chair is more of a traditional office chair, with a stripped-back design and a focus on all-day, mostly upright sitting comfort, with occasional semi-reclined sitting.
