Battlefield 6 brings back the fan-favorite Battlefield 3 map Operation Firestorm, but the process of remastering and updating the map--and remastering maps in general--wasn't simple, Battlefield Studios says.
In an interview with PCGamesN, design director Shashank Uchil said, "You wouldn't believe how difficult it is," and not necessarily for the reason you may expect.
Uchil said one part of what makes remaster maps challenging is the expectations players have. Battlefield 3 was released...

Like many FPS games on console, Battlefield 6 will feature aim-assist--and the developer claims it will be "very light." That may make it feel different to Call of Duty, which is known to have a more detectable and significant aim-assist system that players have long complained about.
Battlefield 6 senior combat designer Matthew Nickerson told WellPlayed that the team came up with a new setup they're calling Aim Assist 2.0. "It's an evolution of what we had in Battlefield 2042," Nickerson...
Several games offer the chance to explore real-world locations, but the upcoming Pigeon: A Love Story will make you realize just how big a city can really be. Revealed during the Six One Indie showcase, Pigeon: A Love Story does exactly what it says on the box: You're a pigeon, and you're looking for your life-partner inside of a densely populated metropolitan area like Paris, London, or New York.
Not only is each "global pigeon hub" rendered completely to scale, but they're also populated...

Over on the game's official website, the team announced that this new patch "improves stability on PC, smooths out progression, and updates the Gilded Glory Pack loot and rewards for a more seamless experience." Gearbox specifically pointed to crashes around animations, audio, collision, and the GPU that should be resolved now...
Late last year, players noted that images of Tencent's upcoming game, Light of Motiram, had a very striking resemblance to Sony's Horizon games. Sony noticed as well and subsequently filed a lawsuit against Tencent. Now, Tencent is arguing that Sony's lawsuit has no merit and that the case against it should be dismissed.
According to The Game Post, Tencent's motion to dismiss accuses Sony of attempting to "fence off a well-trodden corner of popular culture and declare it Sony's exclusive...

EA's newly launched Skate game is out now for free on PlayStation and Xbox consoles--but there is no Switch 2 version. In addition to the other existing skateboarding games on Switch 2, another game has now been confirmed for release on Nintendo's hybrid console.

Valve has announced plans to end Steam support for systems running Windows 10 32-bit in the new year, so if you haven't upgraded to a 64-bit version of Windows 10 yet, now's the time.
In a new post on the Steam support page, the company said that come January 1, 2026, systems running Windows 10 32-bit will no longer be supported. 32-bit games will keep playing for now, and Steam clients that are already installed will continue functioning "for the near term," but they won't receive any...

007: First Light looks like it'll offer the full James Bond experience, as the British secret agent will be dropping quips and bodies when he arrives on PC and console next year. Not just an expert brawler, 007 is also a talented sharpshooter, and that's an area of the game that developer IO Interactive is investing efforts into perfecting.
While the studio is no stranger to gunplay thanks to the wide variety of firearms that players could wield in the Hitman games, there is a key...
After eight years, Silksong is here, and it's tough. Very tough, actually, to the point where some players believe it's much harder than its 2017 predecessor, Hollow Knight. That difficulty increase is exactly by design, though, according to Team Cherry in a new interview.
As spotted by Dexerto while attending Melbourne's ACMI Game Worlds exhibition, Team Cherry co-director Ari Gibson and developer William Pellen spoke to the exhibition's co-curator Jini Maxwell for a new book. In the book...
UFO 50 is celebrating its one-year anniversary today, September 18, 2025. Below, we reflect on how digesting the game week by week for an entire year has made a lasting impression.
UFO 50 is the most audacious game experiment I've ever seen. The pitch--a fictional retro game collection consisting of 50 full-fledged retro-style games, all connected with sequel iteration and a winding meta-narrative--was impressive from the first moment I heard about it. I loved the game when I reviewed it...

Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has chimed in as well with a string of controversial posts on the subject.
Some of the issues are significant enough that Gearbox has already released updates that aimed to improve stability and...

Earlier this year, Black Panther's solo video game was canceled by EA. But that doesn't mean the King of Wakanda will be sitting out of Marvel's next adventure. Tribute Games and developer Dotemu have announced that Black Panther is joining the large roster of heroes in Marvel Cosmic Invasion alongside an unlikely addition: Cosmic Ghost Rider.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a side-scrolling beat-'em up that lets players pick from a group of 15 heroes to fight off an invasion from Annihilus and...
Nintendo's original Animal Crossing on GameCube helped pave the way for many of the cozy games players have today. The cute animal villagers largely enjoy a blissful experience, but a new AI hack has the town feeling that Tom Nook--the raccoon who basically controls the local economy based on bells as currency--is a tyrant who needs to go down.
Software engineer Josh Fonseca created this Animal Crossing hack (via Ars Technica), and he explained at length how he pulled it off in the...
