Mini Motorways maker Dinosaur Polo Club has hired a new CEO in Amie Wolken (pictured).

In the latest step in its restructuring initiative, Embracer Group has announced that it will be splitting into three different companies. Embracer is a Swedish video game and media conglomerate that got its start in 2011 as Nordic Games Licensing, taking over the intellectual properties of defunct publishers like JoWooD and THQ. In the years since, the company has grown into a major presence in the video games space.

Something about postapocalyptic video games makes them perfect for adaptations. Fallout, The Last of Us, and Twisted Metal all have that kind of setting and have been some of the most well-liked video game adaptations ever. Maybe it’s because the apocalypse provides such a rich sandbox to play in, or maybe it’s because that kind of setting forces characters to make difficult choices, but it’s the kind of setting that makes for both good gaming and TV.

In a move to enhance commuting convenience for Delhi-NCR residents, Meta has unveiled a new WhatsApp-based ticketing service for DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) buses. Available in both Hindi and English, this service allows commuters to book single-journey tickets effortlessly.

Following the sales of Saber Interactive (to a new company founded by Saber CEO Matthew Karch) and Gearbox Software (to Take-Two), the Embracer Group held an investors call to confirm the end of its dreaded restructuring program.

Two things have come out of an understandably muted Game Developers Conference. The first is that the keyword is growth, and executives everywhere are trying to find it. The second is that this year’s PS5 Pro hasn’t done enough to sell itself.

Saber Interactive is officially splitting from Embracer Group, bringing a few more studios formerly owned by the Swedish company with it as well.

As expected, the Embracer Group has sold much of Saber Interactive, which is known for the Metro series, Gloomhaven and remakes of classic Star Wars titles. The buyer is a group of private investors under the umbrella of Beacon Interactive, which is run by Saber co-founder Matthew Karch.

Saber Interactive has split from Embracer, with at least 38 ongoing game development projects among the divested assets and over 3,000 staff moving across. However, a number of key studios remain at Embracer, including Tripwire, Aspyr, and Beamdog.

It’s been officially announced that Saber Interactive is splitting from parent company Embracer Group, with the deal also seeing the latter divesting many (but not all) of the studios that had been previously operating under the Saber label. But what exactly does the deal stipulate for Metro developer 4A Games, which lists Saber Interactive as its parent company?

4A Games is working on not one but two new games in theMetro series. However, its last game, Metro Exodus, continues to perform well. The developer confirmed over 10 million copies sold since it launched in February 2019, up from 8.5 million sales announced in May 2023.

Hi everyone, I’m Samar, Associate Game Director at Vertigo Games. We couldn’t be more excited to reveal our next project during today’s State of Play. We’re proud to say that, with the support of Deep Silver, for the last two and a half years we’ve been working to bring the post-apocalyptic world of Metro to PS VR2 in 2024.

Amid the many titles teased for the next potential State of Play, Xbox Era co-founder Nick Baker mentioned Metro. It may seem completely innocuous, but 4A Games is confirmed to be working on a new title in the post-apocalyptic series. What isn’t so apparent is that it’s rumored to be a VR title.

2023 was one of the best years ever for gaming, thanks to the release of several excellent titles across different genres, like role-playing and action-adventure. It was also a fantastic year for fighting games, thanks to the long-anticipated return of the two series that defined the genre back in the early 90s: Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.

CD Projekt Red fulfilled a five-year promise last week when it added a fully functional metro system to Cyberpunk 2077. While the feature does wonders to make Night City feel more alive, I was surprised to learn just how little California’s public transportation infrastructure has improved in the game’s alternate-reality future.

Releasing next week on the 5th December alongside the Ultimate Edition of Cyberpunk 2077, Update 2.1 adds and improves a whole bunch of stuff. The full patch notes are coming next week, but for now, we've gathered all of the main points from the latest CD Projekt Red stream and made an easy-to-read bullet point list, which you can find below.

Update: Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 is now available to download on PS5. It weighs in at a rather hefty 16.8GB.

Patch 2.1, Cyberpunk 2077’s final major update, drops today alongside the game’s Ultimate Edition.

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting the last major update before developer CD Projekt Red moves on to the next project. Dubbed ‘Update 2.1,' the patch finally brings the long-requested metro system, the ability to hang out with romantic partners, radios, and a ton of quality-of-life changes. It drops alongside the Ultimate Edition on December 5 at 4:30pm IST in India/ 12pm CET in Europe. Bear in mind that this is a free downloadable update, so it won't be included natively in the physical disc versions releasing on the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. That said, the 2.0 Update released in September will be included across all versions, entirely overhauling the perk system and adding a range of tech augmentations, which weren't present in the original 2020 version.

CD Projekt Red has revealed the full notes for Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.1, the final major patch arriving December 5, which includes details on the metro system, romantic partner hangouts, new vehicles, and more.

is finally making it possible to use the metro system, and there's only one little addition that could make the feature everything that it should be. The metro has been a long-requested feature for, with a heavy focus on it in promotional material, making it seem like an obvious candidate for actual inclusion in the game. Although there are plenty of ways to get around quickly, the inclusion of a usable metro helps up the believability and immersion of Night City while offering a more hands-off method of standard travel.

Cyberpunk 2077 is finally getting the feature I most crave from every open world game: public transport. Update 2.1, due for release next week, is adding a fully-functioning metro system of the sort seen in Cyberpunk 2077's 2018 cinematic trailer - as well as new hangouts with your romantic pals, repeatable car races, and new accessibility settings.

Cast your mind back to Cyberpunk 2077's E3 2018 trailer and you might remember Night City's metro system playing a prominent role — which was why its absence as a fully functional transportation service was so notable come the game's beleagured release in December 2020. Three years later though, CD Projekt has announced it's restoring the long-missing rideable metro system in a surprise 2.1 update arriving next Tuesday, 5th December.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition launches next week and includes the base game, Phantom Liberty and all updates till now. While CD Projekt RED has made several long-requested additions to the game, from vehicular combat to police chases, it didn’t add the metro system for fast travel that the cinematic trailer promised. That’s changing with update 2.1.

When CD Projekt Red reintroduced Cyberpunk 2077 to the gaming industry at E3 2018, it did so with a trailer that opened on the image of Night City’s convoluted subway system. Now, half a decade removed from that iconic moment (not to mention three years after the game’s rocky launch), the studio is finally ready to add an honest-to-goodness metro to its game’s gritty, neon-soaked setting.

Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 update was supposed to be the last major addition to the game. But now CD Projekt Red is adding Update 2.1 to Cyberpunk, with some features that fans have been asking for since the game was first released. 

Cyberpunk 2077 is set to receive a brand new update — version 2.1 — next Tuesday, December 5, and it’ll finally allow players to travel around Night City on a relaxing metro ride.

Back in September, senior editor Wes Fenlon praised Cyberpunk 2077's astonishing turnaround but said he still yearned for a fully functioning metro system so he could properly enjoy the grimy majesty of Night City. Today CD Projekt served up some good news for Wes: It's coming in the surprise 2.1 patch that was announced yesterday.

With Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.1, CD Projekt Red plans to introduce a long-anticipated feature to the RPG - a full metro system.

Turns out CD Projekt has even more plans for Cyberpunk beyond its 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty earlier this year. During a stream detailing the update with developers Paweł Sasko and Monika Janowska, the team at CD Projekt revealed Cyberpunk will be getting a 2.1 update soon that will add a fully functional metro, radioport, replayable car races, boss fight improvements, accessibility features, and more. The updated will be available December 5 (the same day Rockstar is launching the trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto), which will also mark the release of Cyberpunk 2077's Ultimate Edition.
