A Fortnite Creative map caused a stir over the weekend by being Fortnite's most popular individual mode for a short period of time. Steal the Brainrot, a user-made competitive tycoon map that was ripped off from a massively popular Roblox game, managed to pull in just over 183,000 concurrent players on Sunday, making it the top mode in Epic's metaverse for a couple hours, and sparking a conversation among players about what's going on.
Those are impressive numbers for a Creative island...
Not all games will land the same in all cultures across the world, and Steam is making a small change to review scores to reflect that. When accessing games with enough scores in your client's selected language, you'll see a separate score for that language alongside other metrics.
Valve published a news post for this change, which says that "when there are enough reviews written in a particular language, Steam will calculate a review score for that language," with review scores displaying...

The Battlefield 6 open beta has officially ended after two weekends of explosive action, and based on the number of concurrent players on Steam and the slew of reactions online, a lot of people took some time with Battlefield's next installment. One of the main concerns coming out of the beta involves players worried about the average size of multiplayer maps being smaller and more compact like those in the beta--but if recent datamines from the BF community are any indication, those fears...

Pokemon's video game competitive scene has an onboarding problem.
It's had one since the birth of the Pokemon Video Game Championship (VGC for short) in 2008 due to hidden mechanics, tedious grinding, and some devious RNG.

Thanks to Pokemon Champions, a battle simulator akin to Pokemon Stadium coming to Switch and mobile, players will be able to quickly...

Spiritfarer is celebrating its 5-year anniversary today, August 18, 2025. Below, we reflect on how the game's compassion and empathy can help influence our own lives.
When it was first introduced, Developer Thunder Lotus billed Spiritfarer as "a cozy management sim about dying," which immediately intrigued me. What's so cozy about dying, and what difference does the team see between a game about dying and a game about death? The wording seemed unmistakably intentional. Many games are, to...
