Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is only an agonizingly short 10 days away, and we're getting to the point where we'll soon need to lock down our social media accounts for fear of spoilers. Key story details have reportedly already started making their way to TikTok, Twitter, and Reddit over the past week, seemingly because some people have already managed to get their hands on a physical copy of the game.

Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of Suikoden, director of Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, and head of Rabbit & Bear Studios, has passed away at 55 following complications from an ongoing illness.

If you're fighting for the glory of Super Earth in Helldivers 2, your life expectancy is about two minutes, and you never even know you're going to be frozen and thawed between missions.

Helldivers 2 fans are camping out in the game's menus for hours on end to preserve their spots, and some players are calling for the developer to deal with it.

You can take the Fallout: New Vegas out of the silly, but you can’t take the silly out of Fallout: New Vegas. Or something like that. At any rate, someone has managed to make modding history by finding an old file that was thought to have been lost to the annals of time.

The Epic Games Store will be coming to iOS in Europe thanks to provisions in the European Union (EU)'s Digital Markets Act (DMA). 

Seven years after it was thought lost, a Fallout New Vegas mod that adds Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst as a companion has resurfaced — and received a nod of approval from the man himself.

We’ve come to know our Pals pretty well over the last month since the game entered early access. We know their names, abilities, and skills by heart, it seems. Now, a recent Twitter post by Pocketpair has got fans of the game humorously questioning whether the same is true about the developers.

Helldivers 2 is a somewhat unexpected success, currently sitting at the top of the PSN charts and taking over the hearts and minds of gaming everywhere.

An ex-Rockstar Games developer has explained why the moon changed sizes when you shot at it in Grand Theft Auto 3 and the rest of the classic trilogy.

If there's one game I would want to follow CDPR's long-awaited sequel The Witcher 4, it would be a cosmic horror game set in feudal Japan - and I mean that sincerely! In fact, CDPR, with its spectacular worldbuilding, is one of the few studios I would trust to pull off something so wild. But, sadly, that very specific genre is exactly the only one CDPR has fully ruled out for its new IP, codenamed Project Hadar.

After Palworld started sliding down the Steam charts, the usual it’s a dead game or dying chatter spun up, but I’m not inclined to go exclusively off of Steam’s player count to determine a game’s long-term health, and the same appears true for Pocketpair. The studio’s community manager, Bucky, seems to feel the same if their recent Twitter post is anything to go by. 

Over the past few weeks, rumors have swirled surrounding a possible Nintendo Direct taking place this month. While we've heard nothing from Nintendo itself, February is usually the time that the company gives us some updates on what fans can expect to be playing on their Nintendo Switches throughout the coming year. Insiders recently claimed that a Nintendo Direct was scheduled for this week, though the week has come and gone without a showcase.

Tekken 8 has proven a smash hit with fans, selling millions of copies in its first week and delighting users on social media thanks to the game's in-depth customization options. Players can gather free in-game currency for just about everything that they do, and use it to purchase cosmetics such as outfits, accessories, hairstyles, and much more. However, it appears as though this might not be the only way to obtain cosmetics in the near future.

An established insider has hinted that Nintendo's next Direct will happen next week and will be a Partner Showcase rather than a traditional Direct, and has also claimed to reveal one of the games that will be showcased during the presentation. The news comes after previous rumors that Nintendo's next Direct would happen earlier this week.

Cheating and fraudulent activity are an issue for all live service games, but one that seems to be suffering more than most at the moment is Palworld. Since launch, some players have reported issues with strangers infiltrating their servers, destroying their bases, and even preventing access to servers entirely. 

How does some bonus XP sound, divers? Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios announced via Twitter that a bonus XP weekend will be in effect for the frantic third-person shooter effective immediately. The bonus XP will last through the end of February 18 and will grant all players XP and Requisition at a 50% multiplier on top of your base mission score.

Helldivers II developer Arrowhead Studios has announced that players can earn 50% extra XP and Requisition until the end of the day on Sunday in Central European Time thanks to a bug that prevented some players from earning rewards after a mission.

It's been 24 years since the original Xbox launched, but its 'father' says fans are still worrying about the same thing following the latest console tease. 

The director of Helldivers 2 says the team is "completely exhausted" by the success of the shooter, but "very, very pleased" with how it's shaping up. 

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's director says "work has finally come to an end" on the Switch fighting game now that the Sora amiibo is here.

Almost a month afterPalworld’s successful early-access launch, Pocketpair community manager ‘Bucky’ has been reflecting on his expectations for the game prior to its launch, and revealed that in May last year, reaching anything above 50,000 players seemed impossible. 

February 14 arrives every year in a shower of roses, chocolates, and stacks of overpriced cards, but this year Palworld players have turned to the DIY approach in order to incorporate game-based puns into the yearly celebration of love. 

Helldivers 2 is a video game with guns in it, which means somebody out there is clamoring for it to add a PvP mode, seemingly ignoring the fact that its lethal friendly fire means PvP is always at your fingertips. But according to CEO and creative director Johan Pilestedt of developer Arrowhead, a PvP mode is "never" going to happen because the inevitable toxicity ain't worth it. 

There are now fewer people playing Palworld than there were at the height of the game's popularity, and one of the devs behind the unlikely survival game hit says that's perfectly fine.

No Man's Sky's Omega update, which has just gone live on PS5, makes a number of big changes, including finally giving Expeditions a "complete overhaul".

An ex-Rockstar developer has finally revealed why the moon changes size in GTA 3.

With today's weekly reset for the EU servers, players were surprised to see their ability to exchange WoW Tokens to Battle.net balance supposedly removed. This isn't a change announced by Blizzard, so it may be a bug. This change hasn't affected NA/OCE realms yet. While it is possible this is a bug with the WoWToken system, it is weird that this change is reflected in different places in the game's UI for European players. Without an official announcement from Blizzard, it is hard to know whether this is a change for the retail WoWToken. This may be a change, as the Wrath Classic WoWToken already behaves this way for every region, being able to be redeemed only for Game Time and not Battle.net Balance.

A cheeky Valentine's Day poem shared by the Sea of Thieves Twitter account seems to be teasing the game coming to other consoles, as has been highly rumoured over the past few weeks.

The modern Persona series is synonymous with slick, sexy UI design, making games like Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5 Royal, and the recently released Persona 3 Reload instantly recognizable. Atlus' efforts are so far ahead of the curve in this regard, and shockingly, it turns out the secret to this success relies simply upon retaining key staff and paying them appropriately.

Helldivers 2 has been praised for avoiding the tedious and intrusive microtransactions common among live-service shooters, so it's perhaps no coincidence that the game's creative director, Johan Pilestedt, reckons games "have to earn the right to monetize," which is why developer Arrowhead "really applied ourselves to not make it pay-to-win."

After promising an update on "the future of Xbox" in the wake of multiplatform rumors about games like Starfield and Indiana Jones, Microsoft has confirmed that a podcast with several top gaming executives is set to land this Thursday.

When people fret about artificial intelligence, it's not just due to what they see in the future but what they remember from the past -- notably the toxic effects of social media. For years, misinformation and hate speech evaded Facebook and Twitter's policing systems and spread around the globe. Now deepfakes are infiltrating those same platforms, and while Facebook is still responsible for how bad stuff gets distributed, the AI companies making them have a clean-up role too. Unfortunately, just like the social media firms before them, they're carrying out that work behind closed doors.

Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang anticipates advances in computing over the next few years will keep the cost of developing artificial intelligence well below the $7 trillion that Sam Altman is said to be fundraising.

Lethal Company is expected to receive its Version 50 update soon, and the developer has shared an update on its status on Twitter.

It's the time of the year when people start expecting major announcements for a new Windows operating system. While many were waiting for the announcement of Windows 12 or some kind of major AI features, Microsoft has announced it will introduce an OS upgrade in Windows 11 only.
