EA Play will now become part of Xbox Game Pass for PC next year
All of EA Play’s games on Xbox Game Pass would’ve made for one hell of a Christmas present, sure. But while today was meant to be the big day, it looks like it’ll be a couple more months before EA’s catalogue is rolled into Microsoft’s already-generous subscription service. Xbox today announced that it’ll be 2021 […]
Gears 5: Hivebusters DLC invites you to bust a hive today
I don’t particularly like the idea of being purposefully captured by aliens in order to kill them from inside their big scary lairs, but this appears to be exactly what The Coalition will have you doing in the first story expansion for Gears Of War 5.

Fortnite’s new “performance mode” hopes to double framerates on older hardware
For being the biggest game of the past decade, Fortnite‘s system requirements aren’t exactly generous.

Yesterday, CD Projekt Red had a big emergency call with investors discussing the state of Cyberpunk 2077, and what it means for its DLC and multiplayer plans. It’s no secret that the game’s launch came with a helluva lot of bugs, I’ve experienced a ton myself on PC – but for players on last-gen consoles, […]

The Steam News Hub now officially rounds up news and patch notes for what you’re playing
Valve have handed over a diploma to their latest Steam Labs experiment, the Steam News Hub, which helps you keep tabs on what’s new and happening in all the games you own—and also games Steam thinks you might like to own.

Cyberpunk 2077 bugs are best when set to musical improv
Unlike approximately every single one of my friends, I did not spend this weekend playing Cyberpunk 2077, but I was still exposed to all its many amusing bugs, glitches, and silly weapons. I’ve seen V’s penis clipping through his trousers, characters with disappearing penises, and a sex toy (shaped like a penis) used as a […]
