The Battle Bus dropped off Peely, Jonesy, Meowscles, and a couple of other Fortnite characters on to The Simpsons for the long-running show's opening couch gag. The crossover starts harmless enough. But then, things go awry for the Fortnite clan--especially the cute-looking banana.
Peely slips trying to run away from the Simpsons, who pull out weapons to get the Fortnite characters to leave their couch. That misstep leads to a terrible fate for poor Peely. The Simpsons turn the character...
Plans are underway to resurrect Saints Row, as the design director for the first game, Chris Stockman, has revealed that he's working on a pitch for a new entry in the open-world franchise that will see it return to its roots.
On the Saints Row Reddit, Stockman said that he had been approached to work on a proposal, which if successful, could be a prequel. "I've been asked to create a pitch for a Saints Row prequel. I can't say anything more than that, but my dreams for this game just...
Microsoft has embraced the ex-boxer meme for its latest Xbox advert, as the company continues with its "this is an Xbox" marketing campaign. Featuring a self-proclaimed ex-boxer, the bizarre advert also spotlighted the new dedicated hardware that recently joined the Xbox family, the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X.
This year has seen Microsoft focus more on the idea of an Xbox ecosystem--rather than on the idea of dedicated Xbox hardware--as it continues work on its next-gen plans for the brand...
Rockstar Games' former VP of creative, Dan Houser, left the company in 2020, but he's still a wellspring of knowledge about Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, both of which he was a lead writer on. Houser recently shared his insights into both game series as well as a few of Rockstar's unrealized projects.
During a nearly three-hour interview with Lex Fridman on YouTube, Houser touched GTA 5's uncompleted DLC that would have featured Trevor as a secret agent.
"It never quite came...
Fortnite's latest update brought a major Simpsons collab to the popular battle royale game, however dataminers have found clues to future collabs hidden in the game files. Multiple leakers suggest that SpongeBob and Harry Potter will be coming to Fortnite--with fans already voicing objections to the latter due to creator JK Rowling's transphobic actions.
Prominent Fortnite leaker SamLeakss posted news that both collabs will reportedly be arriving in Chapter 7. Fortnite creator Shiina...
Back in 2005, rumors swirled of a Halo MMO in development with Age of Empires developer Ensemble Studios. The project came to an abrupt end in 2008 when Microsoft shuttered the studio, however one of the developers on the MMO has spilled the beans on the lost game--and why it was cancelled.
Sandy Peterson, known for his work on the Call of Cthulu TTRPG and Doom before he moved to Ensemble, has posted a thread on X with his recollections about the doomed Halo MMO, which was codenamed Titan...
Not long after Battlefield Studios patched XP farms out of Battlefield 6's Portal mode, the studio has announced a new official "casual" mode that allows players to earn progression in games with more bots than players.
The new mode, Casual Breakthrough, will include just 16 real players per lobby, who will be accompanied by 32 bots--giving eight players and 16 bots per team. Described in a Battlefield Comms X post as "a more relaxed way to play while still earning progression and...

The day has finally arrived--after months and months of leaks and rumors, Fortnite's Simpsons season launches today. Just not quite yet, because Fortnite is offline for maintenance following the "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" event, during which players were treated to a Simpsons short film that explained how they ended up being a part of the Fortnite omniverse.
As is standard operating procedure for Epic, Fortnite goes offline when it's time for a major update. While this usually happens...
Pokemon Go's Tales of Transformation season continues in October with a variety of different events happening over the next few weeks. In addition to new Spotlight Hours and raid bosses, the game will host a few autumn-themed activities this month like the Harvest Festival, which will introduce two new evolved forms of Applin.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is just over six months away, but there's something brewing at the game's developer, Rockstar Games. The studio fired between 30 and 40 staff members from offices in the United Kingdom and Canada earlier this week. The terminated employees were reportedly attempting to unionize when they were let go.
Bloomberg broke the story, and added that all of the fired employees were part of a private trade union chat group on Discord. According to a spokesperson for the Independent...
Microsoft's Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is discounted to $140 (was $200) at Amazon and Walmart. The $60 price cut is the best we've seen in 2025. If Amazon and Walmart sell out--and we wouldn't be surprised if that happened--the Elite Series 2 is available for $145 at Target and $150 at Best Buy.
The Elite Series 2 has numerous customizable features and swappable magnetic components not found on the standard Xbox Wireless Controller. Here's a quick look at the controller's key extra...
Keyboards have more than 100 keys, but there are four that are most important to people who play video games: W, A, S, and D. There are games that use more than these keys, yes--StarCraft, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft use all sorts of combinations--but the majority of games rely on a small sampling of numbers and letters on the keyboard. There are practical reasons for this, to be sure: Computer games often require one hand on a mouse, the other on a keyboard. There are a ton of...
Last month, Supergiant Games officially launched Hades 2 out of early access, and sent the princess of the underworld, Melinoe, on a quest to defeat the titan Chronos. The original ending of the game wasn't very well-received. But in Hades 2' first post-launch patch, the true ending may give fans a better conclusion than the previous finale.
There have been some sizable additions to build up to the true ending, including new events and voiceovers, as well as changes to the fated prophecy...

Arc Raiders' roadmap provides a glimpse at the months ahead for the fresh third-person shooter on the market. As is typically the case, the live-service game will be receiving frequent updates fine-tuning the experience...
Today is Halloween, and what better way to celebrate than with a handful of spooky games. Humble Bundle is offering 13 games for $13 ($114 value) with their Indie Fears Bundle. $13 gets you all the games on offer, but as always with Humble Bundle you can choose to pay more.

If you're in the market for a budget-friendly gaming laptop this holiday season, Best Buy's early Black Friday sale includes an awesome deal on a recently released model from Lenovo. The Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop is discounted to only $650 (was $1,100). It's the only gaming laptop in Best Buy's sale catalog so far, but there are a bunch of gaming desktop deals.
The $450 price cut on the Lenovo LOQ isn't categorized as a Doorbuster, so it's possible the deal will stick around beyond...
Platinum Games' Bayonetta made her North American debut in 2010 and she quickly became a fan-favorite character. And what's not to love? She's a shapeshifting witch who's very good at gunplay. And she almost never appears without her glasses, as insisted upon by her creator, Hideki Kamiya.
Earlier this week, a fan on X asked Kamiya about a meme-worthy quote he was alleged to have said: "Bayonetta’s glasses are just like her underwear." Via Automaton, Kamiya attributed the quote to animation...
After 82 straight days of near-constant play, one Fortnite player has done something no one else has claimed before, as far as they know: reaching level 7,000 without cheating. The player, known as Terns on X and Canada in-game, documented the climb throughout the season, posting the milestone on social media this week.
The achievement, however, doesn’t mean much tangible at all. Fortnite caps meaningful rewards around level 200, and higher levels don’t grant extra items, bonuses, or skill...
