EA's skateboarding series, Skate, has been dormant since 2010's Skate 3, but it's officially back today with the launch of a reboot that's simply titled Skate. You don't have to pay a penny to get it, as it's a free game available for everyone on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The version of the game launching today is an unfinished, early-access edition of the game. As such, players may encounter bugs or other oddities. Additionally, developer Full Circle plans to add new game modes...

Sony teased this PS5 update back in July...

One of the best and most versatile home arcade machines is in stock at Amazon for the first time in over six months. Amazon is taking preorders for the Evercade Alpha Taito Bartop Arcade for $260. Themed around Bubble Bobble and preloaded with 10 games, the Taito edition is the third Evercade Alpha.

Tuesday was supposed to mark the arrival of the Power Rangers Megazord in Fortnite, both in the form of a battle pass skin and as an in-game event in which one player in each round of Battle Royale gets to become the full-sized Megazord and terrorize the island for a few minutes. The patch was delayed, but you'll be forgiven for not knowing that since Epic hasn't yet added any in-game notification about the delay. So the Megazord page of the battle pass just looks bugged right now.

Microsoft is hoping to turn the Xbox app into the one-stop destination for players to launch games on PC and Windows handheld devices, pushing an update that integrates titles from other major gaming storefronts into the app's library.
Xbox Insiders have had access to this aggregated library feature since June, but now, all users of the Xbox PC app can see their installed games from Steam, Epic Games Store, Battle.net, and "other leading storefronts." Players can launch these games directly...
Last year, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair in Japanese court alleging infringement on the company's patents. The initial battle was over relatively minor aspects of Palworld that were similar to Pokemon. More recently, Nintendo was granted a potentially game-changing patent that “covers the fundamental gameplay mechanic of summoning a character and letting it fight another” in a video game. Now, one of the devs behind Baldur's Gate 3 has weighed in on these...
A movie based on EA's The Sims is in the works, with Oscar-winner Margot Robbie's production company, LuckyChap, attached. Prolific Hollywood producer Roy Lee is involved as well, and now he's shared some further insight into what fans can expect from the video game movie.
Speaking to The Direct, Lee said he expects the movie to be "unique." He said it's similar to The Lego Movie, in that when it was announced, people wondered how it would translate to the big screen. People didn't...
Palworld developer Pocketpair has announced that the game will leave early access and launch its 1.0 version in 2026. Additionally, the studio teased that while the bulk of the team is working on updates, improvements, and more content for Palworld, the company also has smaller teams at work on new games.
Cleanup
Palworld 1.0 isn't launching sooner because Pocketpair is spending time now working on "cleanup" for the existing game.
"Beyond just adding new content, there is a lot of clean...
Job sims today encompass so many different professions, from train operator to farmer to power washer and beyond. Sometimes I enjoy those kinds of games, but I expect The Lift to be my favorite of them going forward, because it takes the job sim genre and makes it spooky and weird.
Inspired by the New Weird movement, which defines things like the SCP Foundation and Pacific Drive, The Lift casts you as a handyman who fixes benches, replaces light bulbs, and reroutes electricity in a...
The next Hollow Knight: Silksong patch is on the way, as developer Team Cherry is now focused on polishing the game up further with post-launch updates. The studio says that while the first patch was focused on dealing with critical issues--and making a few boss fights a little easier--a few bugs still remain. Additionally, Team Cherry is looking to address several issues around specific tools in the game.
There's no release date yet for the patch, but it is being tested in the public-beta...

After years of anticipation, Team Cherry only gave the video game industry and players two weeks notice that Hollow Knight: Silksong was about to arrive on September 4. While a handful of indie games were moved away from that date, Rogue Factor had already staked out the same release date for Hell is Us six months earlier. Now, Hell is Us' creative director is sharing his belief that Silksong's shadow drop negatively impacted Hell is Us' sales, and he doesn't sound happy about it.
