Cyberpunk 2077‘s Phantom Liberty expansion is attracting very positive reviews, and CD Projekt staff are naturally quite pleased about this. And also, very relieved. Released in 2020, the original Cyberpunk 2077 stands as an uncommonly thunderous example of overhype and project mismanagement, with technical issues at launch that extended from comical bugs such as disappearing

Glen Schofield, founder of Striking Distance Studios and director of its first game, The Callisto Protocol, has announced he is departing the company.

Earlier this morning, various Xbox and Microsoft documents leaked online: emails, in-development plans, internal details, and more.

Games at one point, that Xbox is planning an Xbox Series X/S refresher for next year, that it might be working on remasters of

I dunno if you’ve heard of this game Starfield, but there’s a lot of talk about it at the moment. It is a roleplaying experience where the role you play is not “Viking-ish warrior who can shout with the power of a million metal frontmen” or “wasteland wanderer downing cans of irradiated coke” but “person

Starfield is Bethesda’s big new release, but now that it’s finally out in the wild, some have already turned their attention toward any incoming news on The Elder Scrolls VI. While some always assumed the game was a good way off, we now know not to expect it for another two to three years at the earliest. 

I continue to have astrophysics on the brain, and over the weekend, managed to spend an hour in Void Crew from Hutlihut Games and Focus Home. It’s part of the surprisingly prosperous genre of “team up to complete some big unwieldy task with multiple moving parts” games, and while it hasn’t yet hit the highs

My assumption thus far was that Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Realms Of Ruin, whatever its eventual qualities, would be the kind of big-campaigned strategy game I’d never make time for. Then I watched the new “game overview” trailer below, and now I’m thinking it might have something for me after all.

The Logitech G502 is one of the most popular gaming mice in the world – and also the reigning champion of the last RPS Readers’ Peripheral of Choice Awards or whatever we called it at the time.

US author and artist Bill Willingham has rather dramatically announced that he is placing the Fables comicbook property in the public domain, including all Fables spin-offs and characters. This means that – pending a judgement from third-party legal experts, anyway – anyone can now create art of any kind set in the Fables universe. “What

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the sequel to 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake, will hit PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. This follows news from Summer Game Fest back in June where Square Enix announced Rebirth will require two discs and launch in “early 2024.”  Alongside news of Rebirth’s release date, Square Enix and PlayStation also released

Today’s State of Play offered our latest look at Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Creative director Bryan Intihar shared all kinds of new Spider-Man 2 details during today’s State of Play. While showing off new gameplay Intihar shared a big list of Spider-Man 2 details, which you can see below.

Today, during Sony’s recent State of Play livestream, we got a look at both the upcoming PSVR2 update and story DLC for the Resident Evil 4 Remake.  The VR trailer is brief but does show the game in action. Much like the other VR port of RE4, the move brings the whole game into virtual reality. The
