Steam announces 2024 sale and Fest dates - including one dedicated to dinosaurs and robots

Spiritfarer is on sale, as the cozy life sim about death has high praise. Its DLC is long-completed, so you’ll be getting the full experience that comes highly recommended by the million-plus people who have played it themselves.

Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Amber Studio have announced 64-player battle royale game PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch in early 2024.

Since launching last month, one of the most often-cited irritations with Starfield was the inability to adjust your field-of-view, something considered a must for first-person games these days. Mods have been released that allow players to alter their field of view, but it is something that really should be a standard option, and now it is!

“Where the hell is the Silent Hill 2 remake?” is a question many of us have asked in recent months, with updates on the survival horror title having dried up entirely since its announcement a year ago. It seems, however, that Konami and developer Bloober Team may be planning another look at the game in the near future.

A Starfield Dynamic weather mod has been made available, adding a dynamic weather system to the game with plenty of variation and transitions.

Publisher Atari and developer SneakyBox have announced Berzerk: Recharged, a reimagining of the 1980-released shooter Berzerk. It will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC via Steam, and Atari VC in 2023.

Randy Orton is a busy man with things to be doing. The once-upon-a-time youngest heavyweight champion in WWE history has, you know, half-nelsons to be practising, suplexes to be suplexing, and, um, ah, Montreal Screwjobs to attend to?

It won't actually hit the markets for another couple of years, but Intel's forthcoming Lunar Lake CPU architecture has made an early appearance in the SiSoft Sandra database. The entry has all kinds of confusing information and while it only covers the numbers from just one benchmark, they're actually quite promising.

The Creator doesn’t look like anything else out in theaters right now. While it obviously expands on visual precedents from films like Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, and Akira, the latest sci-fi action movie from Rogue One director Gareth Edwards feels equally indebted to the mood and spirit of our contemporary reality, thanks in no small part to Edwards’ decision to film on site across eight different countries, including Nepal, Cambodia, and Thailand.

If we’re talking about excellent roguelike games with a long tail, Dead Cells will always enter the discussion. Launching out of early access in 2018, the Castlevania-inspired action platformer has stuck around because developer Motion Twin has consistently released top-tier free and paid DLC, with this year’s Return to Castlevania expansion allowing the punishing platformer to finally come full circle. Now Dead Cells, and all of its premium DLC, are on sale, making it the perfect time to try out the challenge for yourself.

You're going to need a new game, or possibly several. Why? Because the glorious Labour Day long weekend is almost upon us. Things I'd recommend right off the bat include the GOG 15th Anniversary Sale, a brick stack of LEGO bargains on Switch, and Amazon is still slinging cheap PS5 AAAs. Well, I'm off to play more Assassin's Creed Mirage (19% off here). See you all on Tuesday!
