Speaking to PCGamesN, the Wolfenstein developer …

Last week, immediately following the launch of Rage 2, it came to light that Denuvo DRM was included on the Steam version of the game but was left absent on the version sold through Bethesda.net. This ultimately made having the DRM on either version pointless, as pirates had already began …

Denuvo has been the number one choice of DRM for major publishers for quite some time now. Occasionally though, a studio will screw up its implementation and pave the way for swift piracy despite intentions to protect at least the first week of sale. We saw this happen with Mass …

Fallout 76 has had more than its share of issues since launch but despite all of that, the game has still amassed an impressively dedicated player base and content updates are on the way. One of this year's updates may cause some controversy though, as a new ‘repair kit' mechanic …

As we continue to push into an age plagued with controversial loot boxes and DLC, Rage 2 promises to shine as a beacon to those that miss earning bonuses in the game rather than opening their wallet. To that end, players will be able to purchase old-school-style cheats with the …

Bethesda announced that it would be holding its own E3 conference again this year. We already know that we can expect more information on DOOM Eternal. Unfortunately, those hoping for updates on The Elder Scrolls VI or Starfield will be left waiting. Now that Fallout 76 is out the door, …

It is no secret that Fallout 76 has had its fair share of struggles since launch, with a general poor reception of the game leading to poor sales. Usually when this happens with a multiplayer game, the ‘free to play' discussion comes up. A rumour that Fallout 76 would make …

Last week, players discovered Fallout 76’s developer room, a restricted area in the game containing every single item for testing.
