The middle of Overwatch 2 Season 20 has arrived, and the midcycle is bringing the chaos with new modes, new loot, and new in-game collectibles. One of the most notable new additions is Showdown Shuffle, which runs January 13-26. This mode is going to change which character you're controlling, often at random intervals.
Showdown Shuffle locks players into a role, but not a particular hero. Instead, hero swaps can occur when players reach certain milestones for kills or assists, or even when...

Near the end of October 2025, Rockstar fired over thirty devs in the United Kingdom and Canada over what it called "gross misconduct." The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain accused Rockstar of union busting for laying off workers who were organizing with the union. Both sides have held firm since the initial accusations, and now the battle has gone to court in the UK.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Rockstar and the IWGB went before the court earlier this week, where the...
Nintendo has revealed its first set of new Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 2 and I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed.
To be clear, I'm not disappointed (or surprised) by the $100 price tag, as the original Switch Joy-Cons are still $90, the standard Switch 2 Joy-Cons are $100, and all gaming hardware is pretty expensive right now. No, it's not the cost that bothers me, but rather how little these new Joy-Cons differentiate themselves from the pair that already exist.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is still a little over 10 months away, assuming its November 2026 release window holds. Earlier this week, GTA 6 watchers were unsettled when Bloomberg's Jason Schreier noted that the game might not be as "content complete" as Rockstar has said in the past, and he didn't rule out another delay. Some fans took that as if GTA 6 was already pushed back again, which is why Schreier has stepped forward to clarify his comments.
During a recent appearance on the Button Mash...
Near the end of 2024, CD Projekt Red put The Witcher 4 into full development with a release date potentially years away. Now, some outlets are putting forth theories that there may be a new Witcher 3 expansion to fill the gap between the present and the fourth game's release.
IGN Poland and Eurogamer separately released stories suggesting that The Witcher 3 will get its first expansion since Blood and Wine was released in 2016. Eurogamer's report suggests that the drive to release something...
The 18th Attic is a psychological horror game that's inspired by Fatal Frame, as you take pictures with a Polaroid camera to hunt ghosts. But one unique feature is how you calm down after supernatural encounters--by petting your feline companion in the game.
On X, Steelkrill Studio shared a video of the inspiration for the in-game kitty. The short clip shows players encountering the cat in The 18th Attic, with a picture-in-picture video of the developer's own cat getting some friendly rubs...

Nintendo has released a new overview trailer for Mario Tennis Fever, the upcoming sports game for Switch 2. While the video goes over various modes and special rackets, the most important revelation is Baby Waluigi. He's a real playable character, and he's spectacular.

The Nintendo Switch 2 was indisputably a sales hit after its June 2025 launch, but a new report indicates that the hybrid console's success may not match up to the original Switch's first holiday season.
According to The Game Business, Switch 2 sales in the United States were down by around 35% from November to December compared to Switch 1 sales during the same period in its launch year of 2017. This statistic tracks with an earlier report from Circana revealing that November 2025 was the...

The Pan-European Game Information has seemingly leaked the next game in the series, Life is Strange: Reunion, which looks to bring Max and Chloe back together for the first time in years.
In the original game, Max used her powers to rewind time to save Chloe's life, only to face a choice between saving her friend or saving their...

The physical edition of one of the best third-party games for Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for the first time at Amazon. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which launched alongside the Switch 2 last June, is available for $60 (was $70). And unlike most third-party Switch 2 games, Cyberpunk 2077 comes with the full 60.6GB of game data on the card, so it won't consume 25% of your storage space like the digital edition.
It is worth noting, however, that the digital version was recently...
