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.
Skate Story, an independent game developed by Sam Eng and published by Devolver, is coming to Switch 2 later this year. The game has a rad art style and story setup. You play as a demon in the underworld, and your body is made out...

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...
Fortnite creators will soon be able to earn a living selling in-game items in their creations, developer Epic Games has announced.
In a detailed blog post, Epic outlines what percentage of in-game V-Buck sales (converted into US dollars) from inside Fortnite user-created content will go to creators versus Epic Games. From December 2025 through the end of 2026, creators will get to keep around 74% of in-game sales. That will change on January 1, 2027, when creators will instead earn about...

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...
Borderlands 4 launched on September 12 and it had a massive debut on Steam, eclipsing more than 300,000 concurrent users. The PC edition hasn't been without its issues, though, as players have complained about a range of technical and performance-related problems. 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...
A lot of people have played EA's new Skate game since it launched on September 16. How many? According to the developers, the new Skate--the first in 15 years--reached more than 2 million players in its first 24 hours.

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...
Hollow Knight: Silksong blew in like a hurricane at the beginning of this month, and it's already putting up numbers that major developers would envy.

On Hazelight Studios' social media accounts, the company posted a picture of studio founder and Split Fiction director...

You're free to figure out how to perform each of these tricks on your own time, but why not take a peek at everything that's possible?

There's never been a Rocket Pass like this one. With the launch of the new Rocket League season on Wednesday, we also got to start grinding on what is probably the most broadly appealing Rocket Pass Epic has yet produced in the five years since Rocket League went free-to-play. It's the first Rocket Pass to include two different licensed car bodies--a Pontiac Firebird, and a Chevrolet Astro van--and for good measure it's also got some incredible Sonic the Hedgehog items, including an awesome...
One of the complaints from the Battlefield 6 multiplayer beta was that the maps were too small, but the game does indeed have larger maps--and now you can see two of them in action.
Mirak Valley is Battlefield 6's biggest launch map, and it certainly looks massive. Set in Tajikistan, Mirak Valley features massive open spaces, along with more close-quarter environments. Being a huge map, Mirak Valley also has a variety of vehicles players can zip around on and fight with.

EA and Battlefield Studios have clarified how cross-play works for Battlefield 6 as it relates to consoles, following a period of confusion based on what a developer said in an interview.
In an interview with IGN, Battlefield Studios said, "Console-only cross-play happens if you turn it off. When you flip that switch, then you get, basically, console-only cross-play, and that is, we don't fill with PC players."
A spokesperson for EA confirmed the finer details about how cross-play works on...
