Final Fantasy 14 is far too large to review in a traditional sense as it’s an MMO that spans hundreds of hours, but the new Switch 2 version does raise a simple question - is this edition worth playing? After spending time with the game in both handheld and docked modes, I’ve got a clear sense of how the port holds up.

The Witcher 3 is making headlines once again this week. 11 years on from the game's original release, CD Projekt Red has rolled out a free remaster, overhauling much of the game. So far, the remaster appears to be extremely well received, with The Witcher 3 earning the top spot as the highest-rated game of 2026 so far. 

Following the recent breakup between Hideo Kojima and PlayStation, rumours have been circulating about the budget behind PHYSINT, with some claiming Kojima was seeking more than $400M for the project. However, it now appears that Xbox signed the game for “significantly less” than those figures.

Earlier this year, Microsoft kicked off the first part of its ‘Xbox Reset’ – aka a suite of mass firings and company consolidations.

Our in‑house PC building expert, James, recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone on Amazon only to discover that he had unknowingly purchased an imported grey‑market device sold as a standard UK model. The situation left the phone without any manufacturer warranty and raised concerns that more UK buyers could be caught out by misleading phone listings on Amazon.

Vampire Survivors: Legacy of the Bloodmoon is the most confident DLC Poncle has produced, functioning as a genuine expansion that recaptures the early game’s tension and build variety while introducing a fresh set of characters, weapons and challenges, alongside some of the most creative levels we've seen in Vampire Survivors so far.

We learned earlier this week that Sony had pulled out of PHYSINT, forcing Kojima Productions to find a new publisher and ultimately landing with Xbox. Now, a new report has shed some light on why the relationship between Sony and Kojima broke down. 

Roughly a decade ago, Konami had a very dramatic falling out with Hideo Kojima, the legendary game director behind the Metal Gear Solid series. As a result, Sony garnered some swift PR by helping Kojima start up his new studio and funding his latest IP, Death Stranding. Now, almost another ten years on, Sony has split up from Kojima.

Control Resonant is just a couple of weeks away from launch. In preparation, Remedy has now released the game's official PC system requirements, giving options for 1080p, 1440p and 4K, as well as a separate set of hardware recommendations for Ray Tracing and Path Tracing. 

While Sony’s 2024 remake of the Supermassive Games classic ‘Until Dawn’ did not quite make the splash that the console maker had been hoping for, it appeared to be merely part of a greater plan. Following its announcement earlier this Summer, PlayStation have now confirmed that Until Dawn 2 will officially arrive early next year in January 2027.

According to analysts, GTA VI has reportedly already made almost half a Billion Dollars from pre-orders alone - 77% of which was on PlayStation.

Typically, the announcement of a new video game update is met with excitement, as fans look forward to whatever new content / fixes are in store. When it comes to Bethesda though, updates are far less celebrated due to the fact that they often break mods and can even lead to new issues. In service of giving fans a heads-up, BGS has announced that both Fallout 4 and Skyrim will be receiving updates this year.

Sucker Punch Productions found a strong formula with the release of 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima, updating the title with new, free content and eventually a paid expansion. Following in its footsteps, the team have now announced that 2025’s Ghost of Yotei will be getting its own dedicated expansion – with ‘Echoes of Sekigahara’ arriving in just a few weeks’ time.

Corsair's Warthog case was one of our highlights from Computex 2026, with the distinctive military-inspired design attracting plenty of attention.

However, we later got the news that the Warthog has been delayed, and a new launch date has yet to be confirmed. Here's what Leo has to say...

One of the biggest news stories of the year (in the video games space at least) was the announcement that Sony would officially stop printing PlayStation game discs come January 2028. Reactions to the news were swift and visceral, with countless fans expressing their disdain for the move. Finally, after a month of silence, Sony has officially commented on the matter once again.

PlayStation seem to have severely shot themselves in the disc with the announcement that they will be getting rid of physical media come 2028.

It’s been a while since we’ve last had a new original game from Naughty Dog, with their most recent release being The Last of Us Part II back in 2020. When they do return however, it’ll be in a pretty major way, having previously announced and teased their brand new IP ‘Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’. While we have yet to get a concrete release date, insiders have now claimed that the project is planned to arrive sometime next year in 2027.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII remake project has been a massive undertaking, with the 1997 PSOne classic having been remade over the course of 10 years, two console generations and three entire games.
