PlayStation 5 players have been raving about the second part of the FF7 remake project Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. As with the first part, it was made clear well in advance that this game would be a PlayStation exclusive at launch, however, we did eventually get Remake of the first part on PC around a year later. This gives PC players hope that the same treatment will be given to Rebirth, but the big question becomes how long will we have to wait this time? Is it possible to see it come to PC storefronts faster than its prequel, or will we need to bide our time avoiding spoilers for months on end? Here’s our best estimate as to when you can expect to see Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Akatosh—it's Friday! Let's keep this intro brief because I'd rather earmark you mad savings rather than chew your ear off with non-essential words. If you've been waiting for a good entrypoint price for Baldur's Gate 3, today's is probably the best you'll see for a while—it's an amazing game that almost never sees a drop. My other personal picks include a sub-three-buck deal for Titanfall 2 with its surprisingly excellent FPS campaign. And that's the same absurd price range for Hotline Miami, the toe-tappingest, top-down 2D murderfest ever.

We've been raving about Dragon's Dogma 2 during its recent previews, and it's already looking like an iconic RPG experience (especially if that in-depth character creator is anything to go on). There's also some good news for PC gamers; for a limited time and while stock lasts, Dragon's Dogma 2 preorders are down to just $57.39 at Green Man Gaming (or £44.26 in the UK on PC, and £51.99 on console).

Tier sets are all the rave in World of Warcraft and it’s new raids during each major patch. These have evolved throughout Dragonflight, and Blizzard will take a different approach when it comes to Season 4 of the expansion. This time around it’ll let players choose which adventure they want to take.

Our individual Game of the Year articles allow our lovely team of writers to share their own personal PS5 and PS4 picks for 2023. Today, it's the turn of assistant editor Liam Croft.

These are some scary good deals for one of the best games of the year.

It looks like one of Eli Roth’s most beloved movies may be getting more sequels – that is, as long as he gets to direct them himself. That’s right, the torture-fest continues as the Thanksgiving director teases more Hostel movies. 

Rockstar has released the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 early, and in 12 hours it's already smashed through 60 million views (and counting). Needless to say the 90-second video is jam-packed full of details and hints about what we'll be getting up to in Vice City, and if you want the nuts-and-bolts breakdown we've got you covered. But one element of the trailer really jumped out at me: TikTok framing, and the real-world parallels.

While it’s been most people’s guess that filming is going well by now, confirmation is always good to see. There’s little confirmed about Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but with a recent announcement concerning the project’s progress, we have a little more to go on.

The buildup for Diablo IV’s release is arguably one of the most important times in Blizzard’s history. After the fallout from the third entry, especially the mobile entry, gamers wondered if Blizzard still “had it” and whether they could deliver the game that could revive the franchise and make them care about the struggles of these entities. To answer that, Blizzard put out an exceptional game at launch that had fans and critics raving, sending the title into a sales frenzy that made it the biggest Blizzard launch ever. However, since then, fans have noticed some “bad things” that the company has done, and a new survey states that things could get very pricey in the future.

Koichi Miura, who worked as a landscape artist for Tears of the Kingdom, has left Nintendo. In his Tweet, he explains that the company is a haven for geniuses, but hell for an average person.

Acer Predator Helios 16 | GeForce RTX 4070 | Core i7 13700HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240Hz IPS | 16GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB SSD | $1,899.99$1,399.99 at B&H Photo (save $500)We're big fans of the latest Acer Predator laptop (read our review of the RTX 4080 version) and this RTX 4070 machine has got a lot about it, too. The Core i7 13700HX CPU is ostensibly an eight-core chip with E-core benefits. That means you get 16 full power processing threads, and a further eight cores to take it up to a total of 24 threads. For a $1,400 laptop that's pretty tasty. It's also sporting some speedy DDR5 memory, a full 1TB SSD and a 500nit IPS display with a 2560 x 1600 native resolution. Sadly, it's not the Mini-LED version in the top Helios 16 models, but it's still a bright, colorful screen. 

It’s been a week since Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 dropped. The game received rave reviews, and gamers are having a ball playing it. The game mechanics are a dream; the graphics are spectacular, especially the spatial layout and design of New York and its surroundings. Gliding and web-slinging through the urban landscapes on a mission is an exhilarating experience. The game is great even if you change characters, like switching from Peter Parker to Miles Morales. Other highlights in the game are the story and Spider-Man’s gadgets. Reviewers can ramble about what’s been great about the game, but sometimes even great games come with problems. One such problem is popping up online from players complaining about a side mission with Hailey Cooper in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

The Drop is an Elusive Target mission in Hitman World of Assassination where Agent 47 needs to head to the club in Berlin to kill Alexios Laskaris, played by famous DJ Dimitri Vegas. The entire location has been reworked though, making Silent Assassin runs so much harder.

Around halfway through one of the greatest episodes of television of all time—Frasier season 1's «My Coffee With Niles»—our hero asks his brother if he truly loves his wife, Maris. «Of course I love her,» replies Niles, «but it's a different kind of love… Maris and I are old friends. We can spend an afternoon together—me at my jigsaw puzzle, she at her auto-harp—not a word spoken between us and be perfectly content».

Following its launch in April 2023, Dead Island 2 is set to receive its first story expansion on November 2, with its second in the works and slated for release next year. 

Fallout and Fallout 2, although stone-cold classics of the isometric RPG genre, are, nowadays, a slightly dubious prospect. Before Obsidian and New Vegas, Bethesda and Fallout 4, Black Isle created one of the richest and most vivid PC games in history. By modern standards, however, those original Fallouts are a little obstructive and fussy. You want to experience their humor, their style, their wonderful mix of role playing and choice, but they can be difficult to grasp. On a related note, if you’ve just finished Starfield and you’re eager for a new space-faring RPG game, or if you just miss the isometric classics like Planescape Torment, Baldur’s Gate, and Diablo, there’s good news. Available to try thanks to a free demo, a new Fallout-style RPG is out of Steam Early Access, and it’s already picked up rave reviews and industry awards.

Prime Big Deal Days are here, and it's time to knock out your holiday shopping early with some major price drops on some of the biggest names in electronics. If you're an Apple fan, you know discounts are sometimes hard to come by, but Amazon is offering price drops on some of Apple's top sellers.

If I sincerely asked you if you knew who Super Mario was, you’d probably look at me like I was an idiot. Of course, you know who Super Mario is. He’s only the most prolific plumber turned mushroom-consuming superhero ever to exist.

Cocoon is already available in a Steam sale and via PC Game Pass, as the debut puzzler from a studio founded by Limbo and Inside developers offers a short but provocative experience that critics and players are celebrating.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is fantastic, and—like Cyberpunk 2077 itself—it's something I hadn't engaged with until recently. I'm new to the post-corpo war hellscape of this setting, but I figured after sinking about 20 hours into the game itself I might as well check out this anime everyone's been raving about. Spoilers ahead for Edgerunners, obviously.

Stephen King is a big fan of No One Will Save You, the new sci-fi horror movie that just quietly dropped on Disney Plus in the UK and Hulu in the US. Starring Booksmart's Kaitlyn Dever, in a practically dialogue-free role, the film sees an isolated young woman tasked with surviving the night when her home comes under the attack of evil extraterrestrials.

Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for everyone to play, and the game is getting rave reviews on most systems. But one thing that many have noted is how different the game feels story-wise to past titles. The universe’s continuity has indeed been rebooted before, but that was under many different conditions and by a much different guiding hand. In this game, Liu Kang is trying to give everyone a “second chance” to be something they couldn’t be in the past timelines. That’s why one of the songs that was made for the game was called “Second Chance.”

Foamstars – Square Enix's upcoming 4v4 party shooter that's essentially Splatoon but with foam – is running an open beta test at the end of this month.

Netflix’s live-action One Piece adaptation may have been a huge hit for the streaming platform, but it’s now been tipped off the top spot by an unexpected thriller.

Stranger Things breakout star Joseph Quinn’s new movie Hoard has earned some rave early reviews at the Venice Film Festival. The directorial debut of Luna Carmoon is a coming-of-age story, beginning in the mid-1980s with a young girl called Maria and her mother (Hayley Squires), who spends her time hoarding rubbish.

Now that Starfield is out in the wild, players are finding all sorts of subtle details Bethesda added into the game but didn't necessarily bake into its pre-release marketing. One such feature is actually a carryover from Fallout 76, and it randomly selects screenshots from your photo mode library to use as loading screens.

A solo developer known for creature-collector RPGs is in the early stages of making a new 3D game inspired by some viral Pokemon fan art, itself based on Ken Sugimori's original trading card game designs.

Bethesda's Senior VP of Global Marketing and Communications, Pete Hines, wants people to skip sleep and stay up in order to play Starfield.

I’ve been waiting to watch Junk Head for over a decade.

It sounds like we'll see around four seasons of The Last of Us, according to co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin.

The first reactions to Blue Beetle are now in, and people are (mostly) raving about DC's latest superhero flick.

Capcom has unleashed a “Mega Man Summer Pack” on Steam, and it’s worth raving about. For $29.82 (normally $134.94) you’re getting a massive chunk of Mega Man, spanning multiple Legacy Collections, Mega Man 11, and the Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. If you were to pick up the recent-ish Battle Network re-releases, you’d have a pretty good collection of many mainline Mega-games. You can cross-check that for yourself in the image below, taken from my Mega Man collection (which I started in 1990!).

F1 has reached its summer break, the Ashes are over and the weather has been decidedly unsummer-y, but on the bright side, Gamescom is now only a fortnight away, and Baldur’s Gate 3 just came out on PC!

What lies behind the Green Door? That’s what people are queueing up along Rainbow Drive to find out, and it’s up to you to decide who gets to see. OK, so Techno Banter isn’t really as mysterious as I’ve just made it sound. In fact, it’s much more grimy, casting you as a bouncer for an underground rave club in the heart of a dystopian city’s night life.

The Apple Watch Ultra, which was announced at the Far Out event in September 2022, is the company's top-end model in its lineup of flagship smartwatches. Apple claims it is the “most-rugged and capable watch ever”, equipped with a vast array of health trackers and sensors, targeting the adventure enthusiasts who love the outdoors. With this year's September event fast approaching, Apple is planning to introduce the next generation of Apple Watch Ultra, and reports claim it could come in a brand-new finish.

Two years after hitting the PlayStation 5 to rave reviews, Ratchet and Clank are not only making their debut on PC – but doing so with their most-ambitious entry yet with Rift Apart hitting the PC via Steam. We have seen several PlayStation console-exclusives hit the platform over the past few years – with rave reviews coming out for both Spider-Man: Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and work being needed to get The Last of Us Part I into a good state.

You probably won't get a better name for a Diablo 4 streamer than Darth Microtransaction (DM), and indeed this guy has turned out to be one of the most fun to watch, for my tastes anyway. He's chill, super-knowledgeable, and doesn't rant and rave when things go wrong like the game's just insulted his mother. Good thing, too.

It can be hard to believe how much has changed over the past 30 years for queer Americans. In the distant past of 1993, gay marriage wasn’t legal in any state in the country. Sodomy laws all over America attempted to outlaw gay sex by criminalizing any oral or anal erotic contact. And Dan Savage, a sex-advice columnist then only known to readers of a few independent alt-newspapers around the country, was capable of making breakout news with a scandalous revelation: Mattel’s latest Ken doll, part of the Earring Magic line of Barbie toys, was openly modeled on gay fashion. And Mattel had unwittingly put a sex toy around his neck.
