A Red Dead Redemption 2 player celebrated the game's soundtrack by transforming it into a cassette tape.

The Tribeca Festival returns this June, and it will once again feature official games selections and even a game-focused panel.

Developer Hexworks has unveiled Lords of the Fallen’s update 1.5, bringing a robust modifier system that introduces a Roguelite mode. This Lords of the Fallen’s final free update marks the culmination of ongoing enhancements since the game's release, prioritizing performance boosts, stability improvements, and a wealth of new features.

Lords Of The Fallen, an action RPG that was a mixture of fun and infuriating when it first launched, has received its final free update. It introduces the "Advanced Game Modifier System", which sounds like something creepy bachelors would pay an extraordinary monthly fee for. No, it doesn't provide terrible advice on how to talk to women. Instead, it allows you to customise LOTF with modifiers to turn it into a roguelike.

Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks have released the Lords of the Fallen version 1.5 update “Master of Fate,” which adds the final milestone of the game’s post-launch roadmap: the “Advanced Game Modifier System.”

Continuing its extensive post-launch support for Lords of the Fallen, Hexworks has released perhaps its largest update yet, Master of Fate. It adds Advanced Game Modifier Options — seven modifiers to enable before a playthrough — to significantly up the challenge. Check out the near-eight-minute overview trailer below.

As was previously leaked, the critically-acclaimed 2023 action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on Thursday, April 25. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate features a number of exclusive perks to help justify its higher cost compared to the other Game Pass tiers, with one of the big selling points being its access to the EA Play library of games.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the action-adventure title from Respawn Entertainment, is heading to EA Play subscription service. The game is confirmed to be available on the service via Xbox and PC Game Pass starting April 25. Additionally, Jedi: Survivor has been spotted as being included with the EA Play subscription on PlayStation Store in some regions. The acclaimed Star Wars title is joining EA's subscription service almost exactly a year after its release across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.

As the calendar continues its ceaseless onward march, Epic has announced its next batch of weekly Epic Games Store freebies, which this time look very much like Cold War shooter Industria and post-apocalyptic RPG bundle Lisa: Definitive Edition.
