Rewatch our webinar with TikTok on the modern mobile games market

I’ve enjoyed handheld gaming ever since playing the original Game Boy while in secondary school – yes, I’m old – but I’ve never really engaged with mobile games outside of the occasional game of Candy Crush during a boring commute. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main problem I have is the clunkiness of on-screen controls for any kind of traditional game. Unless a game is specifically designed for a touchscreen (Monument Valley for example) it’s generally a no from me. This blind spot in my gaming is increasingly unfortunate as modern phones can be capable of standout experiences, whether through ports, streaming, or emulation. With this in mind I was excited to try out the Gamesir X2s, the latest in an increasingly competitive range of devices that can turn your phone into something more closely resembling a standard controller.

Warner Bros. Discovery appears to have backed down from its plans to delist more than a dozen games published by its Adult Swim Games label from Steam and digital console stores. WBD now plans to transfer ownership of some of those games back to the indie devs that made them, according to developers who would have been affected by the planned delistings.

The newly-released day one PlayStation Plus Extra game Animal Well is now one of the highest-rated video games of the year. Compared to competitor Xbox Game Pass, it's relatively rare for PlayStation Plus Extra to add day one games. However, there are indeed times when PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers are treated to brand-new, day one releases, with some fantastic games added as day one releases in the past.

A new trailer for Reynatis has revealed that its crossover with NEO: The World Ends With You wasn't an April Fool's Day joke after all as Rindo and Shoka are actually featured in the game alongside some TWEWY enemies.

In the world of gaming, where diversity reigns supreme, one size certainly doesn’t fit all. Each game presents its own unique challenges and experiences, demanding specific tools to unlock its full potential. It’s not just about enhancing immersion; it’s about finding the perfect complement to your gaming adventure. From flight simulators to racing games and everything in between, the right accessories can elevate your gameplay in ways you never thought possible. From the precision of flight controls to the tactile feedback of racing wheels, tailored accessories immerse players deeper into their chosen worlds, enhancing immersion and delivering unparalleled gaming experiences.

Sprinkled into TikTok’s endless feed of videos, you can find all sorts of content related to video games. You can see lore analysis videos, cool tips and tricks, cosplay, and, if you’re lucky, thirsty edits of characters like Leon Kennedy. The platform has become a place where people can learn about the games they love and discover new ones. Some games, like The Wandering Village, have specifically flourished thanks to TikTok and have found millions of viewers on the app. But now, that could all go away.

For all you democracy dealers out there, a brand new Warbond is soon to join Helldivers 2, giving you yet more rewards to earn. Launching on 9th May, Polar Patriots is its name, and this snowy-themed Warbond is frozen over with cool new stuff.

It’s not only multiplayer games that are fun with friends, some single-player titles are engaging even if you don’t have a controller in your hands. You can even pass and play to keep everyone engaged.

Remember the times when playing Snake on your phone was the ultimate way to beat boredom? Pictoline Games has brought those memories back with a splash of mythology in their new game Quetzi. Yes, it’s the classic snake game but with an epic twist.

It took a little longer than usual, but Helldivers 2's latest patch has finally dropped, giving us some new tweaks to certain weapons, an increase in difficulty for solo players, and some general balance changes. It's a pretty standard patch, but we all know how Arrowhead likes to leave the odd new addition out of the patch notes, and one such nerf seems to have hit Shield Generator Backpack users pretty hard.

In honor of International Dance Day today, Blizzard has released a YouTube Live music video featuring Inarius and a remix of everyone's favorite musical track in the Diablo series — the Tristram Theme. The music video features none other than the father of mankind demonstrating the awesome power of his divine flow, so that all of his children may look upon him and bask in his glory. To back up the Seraphim's sacred shuffle is a particularly tasteful rave mix of the Tristram Theme.

Just when you think you've seen every conceivable way for someone to crawl their way through Baldur's Gate 3's infamously tough Honor Mode setting, someone comes along with an even more ridiculous method that puts the prior one to shame. You won't find many as impressively baffling as this one though, as Reddit user Real-Business6593 recently showed off their playthrough in which they're beating Honor Mode with an undead army.
