In response to the Department of Homeland Security's video using Ash Ketchum to promote ICE, The Pokemon Company's ex-legal chief said he "wouldn't touch" it, suggesting some possible reasons why the company might not pursue legal action.
This week, Homeland Security posted a video to X of an arrest compilation. In between footage of ICE agents handcuffing people at their homes and in their cars are clips from the OG Pokemon TV series, with the famed "Gotta catch 'em all" theme playing in...

Whiskerwood, a cat-and-mouse city-building game from Hooded Horse Minakata Dynamics, is coming to to PC Game Pass at launch on November 6.
Whiskerwood has players controlling industrious mice who live under the "oppressive paw" of cat overlords. Players will travel the seas, explore new lands, and build cities as they make the best of things while the "oppressive demands" of the cat overlords are asking for more and more.
"Establish waste management and healthcare facilities, ensure...
Baldur's Gate 3 is apparently even better to play on the go now, as Larian Studios has released a new native version of the RPG for Steam Deck as part of a hotfix update. The developer states that the game has "a more stable frame rate, lower loading times, and smoother gameplay" on the PC handheld.
Larian detailed what's included with hotfix 34 on Steam in a set of patch notes, with the spotlight on the Steam Deck-native build. But the developer pointed out this new portable version of...
Ubisoft's classic platforming series Rayman celebrated its 30th anniversary earlier this month. The developer confirmed the next mainline entry is in the works, but it sounds like it's a long ways off. While that's probably not what fans wanted to hear, at least you can buy a brand-new version of Rayman for Game Boy Color. That sentence sounds odd, but it's true: Ubisoft partnered with ModRetro to rerelease the GBC version of the original Rayman. An actual GBC cartridge, in fact, and it...
Earlier in September, Nintendo revealed that Pokemon is getting a cozy game, Pokemon Pokopia. Apparently the developers of Palworld had similar ideas, because Pocketpair has now unveiled a spin-off cozy game of its own called Palworld: Palfarm.
Much like Pokemon Pokopia, Palfarm lets players gather pals to help them live a quiet life as a farmer while handling the harvest, the cooking, and even the business of selling the food. The chosen pals also lend their special abilities to the...
PS5 and PC may have larger player bases than Xbox these days, but Xbox apparently still has the other platforms beat on one metric. According to a new report, Xbox users play more games than their PS5 and Steam counterparts--and it's due to Game Pass.
Based on data collected by Ampere Analytics, Xbox users, on average, played almost six games each in August 2025. This is significantly more than Steam players (4.5 games on average) and PS5 players (3.7 games), and Ampere suggests that this...
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Ubisoft Massive's open-world action game set within James Cameron's Avatar cinematic universe, is getting another expansion during the Christmas season. This new DLC, titled From the Ashes, drops on December 19, the same day Avatar: Fire and Ash hits theaters--in case you needed more Avatar.
Revealed by IGN, From the Ashes sees you play as the battle-hardened Trr’ong clan Na'vi So'lek, who sets out to protect his family after the RDA and its new allies--the...
Over six years after its initial announcement, and nearly four years since Riot Games shared a first look at gameplay, 2XKO, the League of Legends fighting game, will soon be available to all. Riot has announced that the current 2XKO closed beta will end on October 7, and early access will begin the same day.
2XKO's early-access period will include a "Season 0," which will function as the game's first seasonal event and include special in-game events and progression rewards. Season 0 will...
Vault Hunters need not worry about nerfs, at least for now. Instead, developer Gearbox wants to focus on buffs for Borderlands 4 players first and foremost, especially in regard to skills and gear.
On X, Borderlands 4 creative director Graeme Timmins laid out the team's plans for the immediate future. "We've seen the discourse about builds that use unintended interactions and/or the knife. We're not going to act on those immediately; instead, we're looking at our first round of buffs,"...
Google's latest update to Google Play is a big one.

It is also making a big push to further personalize the Google Play experience, which includes deeper integration with its AI products.
As detailed in a blog post, Google is focusing on efforts designed to unify gaming experiences across platforms. The update marks the full...
The next PlayStation State of Play event is coming up very soon. How soon? Like tomorrow. The second PlayStation State of Play this month will air on Wednesday, September 24.
The event promises more than 35 minutes of "reveals and news from developers around the world." The existence of this event is no surprise, as it was previously referenced by a reliable insider.
"We'll share new looks at anticipated third-party and indie titles, plus updates from some of our teams at PlayStation...
2026 looks to be a very exciting year for video games. In addition to being the first full year for the Switch 2--we'll surely hear about even more games for the system as we move further into the year--2026 will also see the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is widely anticipated as one of the biggest entertainment launches of all time. We'll see plenty of other sequels to popular franchises, as well as a number of brand-new games across everything from console to mobile.
In order for...
Since the days of the PlayStation 3, players have been earning Trophies in their PlayStation games by completing challenges and finishing games, but outside of their online profiles, there hasn't been a way for the most loyal PS fans to show off those in-game achievements. Today, Sony has provided a solution in Franchise Rewards, a new program where unlocking certain trophies will give a player access to special physical "rewards."
The program kicks off today with Ghost of Tsushima, and it...
As part of the Beyond the Strand event celebrating 10 years of Kojima Productions, the Japanese developer and the original creator of Pokemon Go announced a "new technology partnership" that aims to "redefine immersive entertainment."
Like with Kojima's Death Stranding series, much remains shrouded in mystery about this new project.
"For Kojima Productions, it's a bold expansion into new forms of media beyond traditional gaming. For Niantic Spatial, it underlines the potential of...
As part of the "Beyond the Strand" event this week that celebrated the 10th anniversary of Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima made a series of announcements, one of which was quite unexpected.
Kojima is parterning with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group to launch a new Kojima credit card. In the second half of 2026, MUFG will offer a credit card that will give users points based on spending that they can use to exchange for merchandise and other goods for Kojima-related items.
That's all Kojima...
Nearly two years ago, Hideo Kojima and director Jordan Peele revealed their upcoming horror game, OD. Since then, Kojima was largely focused on finishing Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Now, Kojima Productions has shared a fresh look at OD during the Beyond the Strand event. And from the preview, it looks like Kojima is evoking P.T., the playable trailer for his canceled game Silent Hills.
The new video redacts some of the backstory text that sets up the game, which makes it difficult to...
The console wars have reached a point where it's no longer uncommon for some of the biggest Xbox games to get a cross-platform release on PS5. A small handful of PlayStation 5 titles have also gone to Xbox Series X|S. But if you were hoping that meant games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost of Tsushima were next in line for Xbox releases then you might be disappointed.
A user on Reddit found a listing for Horizon Zero Dawn on the German Xbox Store. And it's not the only Sony title to appear...
Physint is one of veteran game developer Hideo Kojima's next projects, and a first look at the PlayStation exclusive was revealed during the Kojima Productions anniversary livestream. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Kojima Productions unveiled the official poster for the stealth-action game, which is aiming to be a spiritual successor to Kojima's Metal Gear Solid franchise.
While the poster only provides a glimpse of the game's protagonist--who is cloaked in shadows--it also revealed the...
The best processor for PC gaming is on sale for $49 off at Amazon. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is up for grabs for $430 (was $479). Amazon doesn't list an end date for the discount, but considering the popularity of the high-performing 3D V-Cache CPU, it probably won't be available to purchase for $430 for long. The 9800X3D has been one of the best-selling CPUs on Amazon since its release last November. It has earned top-notch reviews from critics and customers alike.
Amazon estimates orders...
