While Stranger Things is wrapping up after an almost decade run on Netflix, that hasn't stopped the Upside Down from seeping into places most wouldn't expect. Microsoft Flight Simulator 24's collab with Stranger Things has arrived today on Steam, cloud, Xbox, and, despite initial pushback, PS5. The crossover is more than skins; it even features Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman) from the original cast as you help the citizens of Hawkins escape the encroaching darkness.

Evidence of a remake or remaster of the fan-favorite Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is solidifying, with a listing from European content-rating board PEGI emerging.
According to the PEGI listing, the re-release of the Ubisoft classic is titled Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and it unsurprisingly has an 18 adults-only rating for violence, language, and in-game purchases. Ratings are generally a sign that a title's release is imminent.
"Resynced" is an amusing subtitle for a...
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is celebrating its one-year anniversary today, December 9, 2025. Below, we look back at how it uniquely translated the adventurous and comedic spirit of the original movies in video game form.

Stability is nice to have in life. And Nintendo clearly believes it's good for the company's hybrid consoles. That's why updates improving stability for Switch 2 and the original Switch are now available, bringing both hardware versions up to 21.1.0.
Nintendo started rolling out the new system updates for Switch and Switch 2 yesterday, December 8. Both patch notes are the same: "General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience." This is also the same language from a...
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is celebrating its one-year anniversary today, December 9, 2025. Below, we examine how it carried the torch of the classic films to create the best new piece of Indy fiction in decades.

When I wrote yesterday about Neuro-Sama attempting to complete Minecraft Hardcore, I never imagined that she would actually cross the threshold a few short hours later and emerge victorious. During a nail-biting seven-hour stream, the AI VTuber ventured into the Nether, discovered a Stronghold, and (mostly) willingly leapt into the End Portal to take on the game's final boss--the Ender Dragon.
After days of tense grinding on her creator Vedal987's Twitch channel, Neuro's Minecraft Hardcore...
Since its official launch in 2021, Medieval Dynasty has given players a glimpse of life in the middle ages without any fantasy flourishes.

Now, a free update for Medieval Dynasty is adding some new touches for the game that go beyond mere survival.
There were pregnancies and children in this game prior to the Labor of Love update, but there are now more...
As The Game Awards draws closer, everyone's attention right now is on a mysterious demonic monolith that is teasing something. First seen in the Mojave Desert--and described by TGA host Geoff Keighley as being pure "regal.inspiring.thickness" as it stood there--the monolith has now been spotted in Los Angeles. It's not clear if this is the same monolith as the one in the desert or a new one, and there's still no clue what this piece of aura-farming architecture is teasing yet.

Ubisoft has yet to share its plans for future Assassin's Creed games beyond Assassin's Creed Shadows, but that title's dual-protagonist setup with Yasuke and Naoe may not be the last time players get to have multiple characters to choose from.
"I think the learning for us is that, yes, we could do more dual-protagonist games in the future--if we have a good reason to do it narratively and for the setting," said Assassin's Creed Shadows associate director Simon Lemay-Comtois while speaking...
