There are more ways than ever for consumers to get their hands on video games, but Xbox Game Pass remains one of the most popular methods. Game Pass is one of the most successful video game subscription services on the market, and that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. The service boasts a library of hundreds of games that players immediately gain access to upon becoming a subscriber. However, Game Pass is continually adding more games all the time, growing the library little by...

Long gone are the days of No Man's Sky being billed as a massive disappointment, as not long after its ninth anniversary the game appears to have no problems pulling players back in. Last week the game's latest major update, Voyagers, went live, adding in a laundry list of features as the game's updates tend to do. With that, it also seems to have brought in a large influx of players, as the game has hit its highest number of players since launch.
Hello Games co-founder and No Man's Sky...
Team Cherry has revealed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will cost $20. In addition to the price point, the developer also noted that the sequel will go live at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET on September 4, so there's no reason to stay up late September 3.
The launch price and release times were detailed over the weekend by Team Cherry on X. Silksong costing $20 could come as a surprise for some, since it's only $5 more than what Hollow Knight retailed for since arriving in 2017. The hype for the sequel...
Even more evidence has come to light that suggests the next Nintendo Direct event could take place very soon. Reliable leaker NateTheHate2 has backed up the initial reports of the next Nintendo Direct coming in September, saying, "Yes, there is a Nintendo Direct in September."
But when? The leaker said fans can expect it during the second week of September. He said it's likely to happen on September 11 or 12. That matches up with a previous report that the event could happen on September...
Like previous Borderlands games, Gearbox Software has big plans to keep players invested in Borderlands 4 well after they've wrapped up the campaign and all of its side missions. Free and paid DLC are on the cards, as players can expect new expansions, new Vault Hunters, and an endgame that will be updated weekly.
For the paid content, Story Packs will flesh out the planet of Kairos with post-launch narrative content. Two Story Packs are scheduled to be released in 2026, with the first one...
Xbox Series X|S users had to wait an entire year for Black Myth: Wukong to make the leap from PlayStation 5 and PC. Unfortunately, it went through some major compromises and a big visual downgrade according to a comparison by Digital Foundry.
Digital Foundry notes that the Xbox Series X port of Black Myth: Wukong can run at a higher resolution (1296p) than PS5 (1080p), which gives it a slight advantage in clarity and detail as well as its ability to deliver 60fps. However, that comes at...
Sony has announced the next PlayStation State of Play event, and it's coming up soon and focused exclusively on the upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light, from Hitman developer IO Interactive.
The State of Play takes place Wednesday, September 3, starting at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM BST / 8 PM CEST. The broadcast will feature "over 30 minutes" of gameplay for the upcoming title, including a playthrough of Bond's first mission when he becomes an MI6 recruit.
"The action includes...
There's something deliciously smug about wielding the best Terraria ranged weapons. While melee players are sweating it out in close quarters and mages are chugging mana potions like they're at an all-night rave, you're standing comfortably out of reach, raining down arrows, bullets, or bees with barely a scratch on your armor. It's the class for anyone who enjoys watching health bars melt while staying three steps ahead of the danger.
That's not to say it's easy. Ranged combat is a...
A simple class that's also the most reckless, there's a skill curve to the best Terraria melee weapons. Instead of hiding behind a staff or bow, you are charging face-first into danger, trading your health bar for glorious damage. It is the class for anyone who loves brute force, big crits, and feeling like a walking blender.
Getting up close and personal isn't just about swinging blindly. Terraria's melee arsenal is surprisingly diverse, ranging from oversized swords that cleave through...
Like any good manager, delegation is one of your best tools. The best Terraria summoner weapons thrive not by swinging the sharpest blade or firing the fastest bullet, but by putting others to work. Each staff or whip you pick up is less about your own might and more about the team you assemble, from humble birds and frogs to celestial dragons. It is a playstyle built on patience and planning, rewarding those who prefer to orchestrate the fight rather than charge headfirst into it.
That is...

The announcement that Hollow Knight: Silksong would release on September 4 was such a surprise that even the most tuned-in Hollow Knight fans were in shock at the news. And now, just days before Silksong releases, Hollow Knight is seeing a renaissance with gamers, passing its Steam concurrents records over and over again, hitting a new peak of 56,192 players on August 29, according to SteamDB.

According to EA, the Battlefield 6 play test is the biggest beta in Battlefield's history in terms of players. Research firm Oppenheimer estimated that the beta reached more than 20 million people. However, a "substantial number" of those fans may have been playing Battlefield 6 with the minimum recommended specs.
Battlefield 6 technical director Christian Buhl made that assertion during an interview with Eurogamer. Buhl also noted that EA and DICE planned from the beginning to ensure that...
In celebrating the legacy of Battlefield, EA recently released a new battle pass for Battlefield 2042. Called “Road to Battlefield 6”, it features unlockable skins and cosmetic items that represent different games in the series. What’s most notable about the pass--beyond the fact that’s completely free--is that it also includes 20 item unlocks for the upcoming Battlefield 6.
Like most battle passes, the unlockable items are grouped into levels or tiers. In Tier 8, for instance, players will...

We would not be surprised if Walmart updates the price soon. Unless the retailer is trying to clear this particular Joy-Con model from its inventory, the massive price cut may have been a mistake...
Valkyrie Profile is celebrating its 25-year anniversary today, August 29, 2025. Below, we look back at why the RPG went overlooked at the time, and what makes it still stand out as special today.
It's not hard to see why Valkyrie Profile wound up overlooked in its initial North American release. Japanese publisher Enix had only recently revived its US branch, likely due to both the surge of popularity of JRPGs in the post-Final Fantasy 7 era and the success Sony had licensing and releasing...
Borderlands 4 is just days away from launching, and to kick off the next era of the looter-shooter, developer Gearbox has released a new live-action trailer urging people to "quit" Earth and head to Kairos. Sure, Kairos is a planet ruled by an all-powerful dictator who enforces his whims on the population with invasive behavior-altering technology that has a high likelihood of killing you if it's removed, but compared to everything else happening right now--*frantically waves arms*--that's...
HoYoverse will soon enough be adding yet another genre to its growing list of gacha games, this time in the form of a new game called Honkai: Nexus Anima. This one might interest Pokemon fans as it is a creator collector, though it looks like it'll differ from the Nintendo series in a few key ways. And, if it takes your fancy, you can even sign up to take part in its first Nexus Bond Test.
First up are some of the big differences. For starters, the combat system is completely different...
