While the Switch 2 has been on the market for a decent number of months now, many studios are still struggling to get their hands on dev kits for the sequel system. According to one analyst, this may be by design, with Nintendo reportedly “discouraging Switch 2 development to some degree.”

We called the ASUS RTX 5080 Noctua Edition 'a highly impressive feat of engineering' in our review, but were left wondering why the companies involved didn't go all out with an RTX 5090 model. Noctua has since confirmed to us they would 'love' to make an RTX 5090 version, but it doesn't sound like it will be happening any time soon...

Ever since the death of E3, Geoff Keighley’s Game Awards, Summer Game Fest and Gamescom Opening Night Live have served as the big three gaming events for each year. Ahead of the latter’s arrival on the 19th of August, Keighley and co. have begun to tease some of the many games expected to be shown off during the showcase, including the much-anticipated Resident Evil 9.

Earlier this Summer Microsoft shocked everybody when they announced that a ton of their ongoing Xbox projects would be cancelled, with just some of the victims including Perfect Dark and The Initiative; Rare’s Everwild; Zenimax Online’s Project Blackbird and Turn10 – to name a few. One project which was said to be safe from all this was Avalanche Studios’ Contraband. Unfortunately, it seems as though it too has now been cancelled.

Despite all the hype and excitement surrounding Battlefield 6, Activision is reportedly not worried as Call of Duty is “too big to fail.”

One of the biggest issues with PC gaming is the ability for a publisher to create its own bespoke game launcher. While in and of itself not a problem, many of these launchers are required even when using the likes of Steam or Epic Games. One of the biggest culprits in this regard is EA. Thankfully, the publisher has confirmed that Battlefield 6 on Steam will not require the use of the EA app.

In recent years, we have consistently heard rumours about a new BioShock game. Last year, 2K Games officially confirmed that BioShock 4 was in development, which had fans eagerly anticipating a full reveal of the game. Unfortunately, it seems that right after that official announcement, the game fell back into development hell.

Following months of playtests, EA finally started revving up its marketing machine for Battlefield 6, giving us our first look at the game last week ahead of its multiplayer reveal later today.

Over the past couple of years, Valve has put a particular amount of focus on improving Steam across the board – from library sharing revamps to visual tweaks and much more. In alignment with this, those on Steam’s beta channel can now check out the brand new ‘Store Menu’.

5 years on from Tsushima’s release and Sucker Punch is gearing up to launch its successor – with Ghost of Yotei set to arrive this October. Given just how much praise Tsushima received for its retooling of the open-world genre, it is not surprising to see the team doubling down on this concept for the upcoming Ghost of Yotei. Whether it will ultimately work out or not, we will have to wait and see, but there’s no denying that in many ways, Sucker Punch is trying to refine the open world with Ghost of Yotei.

Following the surprise announcement last month that Microsoft’s upcoming holiday titles would retail for $80 (starting with The Outer Worlds 2), the console maker backtracked on this decision, instead charging the more ‘standard’ $70. It seems as though Obsidian’s upcoming RPG isn’t the only game being lowered to $70 – with all of Microsoft’s upcoming Holiday titles dropping back down to the previous industry standard.

Following years of somewhat disappointing releases, the Battlefield series looks to be trying to make a big comeback with its upcoming Battlefield 6. While we’ve seen plenty from the game already thanks to numerous ‘Lab’ playtests, EA/DICE are set to finally give us our first proper look at Battlefield 6 tomorrow.

It’s always interesting to see the different ways that video game publishers talk about the industry to different audiences. In the case of Ubisoft, the company has shared some rather out-of-touch thoughts on monetisation, telling investors that microtransactions make “the player experience more fun.”

In recent years, the number of people using AI to find answers, rather than using traditional Google Search, has risen by a huge amount, The saying 'Google it' is being replaced with 'ask ChatGPT', in the same way that Google killed Ask Jeeves decades ago.

Last year, Ubisoft released Star Wars: Outlaws, the first open-world game set in a galaxy far, far away. Unfortunately, the game failed to meet publisher expectations.

As with the game itself, HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 has been somewhat of a mixed bag reception-wise. That said, the show remains huge for both PlayStation and HBO, with a 3rd Season being announced ahead of Season 2’s premiere. As the dust settles on The Last of Us Season 2, HBO has started to discuss what’s next with Season 3.

In the past 5 years or so, Microsoft has swallowed up quite a significant chunk of the video games industry, with the two biggest examples being Zenimax Media in 2020 and of course Activision Blizzard. Given how many fingers it has across the metaphorical video game pie, it comes as little surprise that 4 of the top 5 best-selling games in May were all published by Microsoft.
