With servers launching at 12 p.m. Eastern/9 a.m. Pacific, fans will either have to preorder the Founder’s Edition or subscribe to the Stadia Pro plan. At $9.99 a month, The Pro subscription gives players access to 4K resolution, better sound, and
There’s a chill in King’s Canyon tonight. Apex Legends‘s Fight Or Fright Halloween spectacle began today, bringing ghosts and ghouls and all that spooky stuff into Respawn’s battle royale. For the next three weeks, the familiar cast of the Apex games will be dressing up in their spookiest costumes, dishing out bullets and grenades to
In a new trailer, Sega has announced that the revitalization of the Super Monkey Ball series, an HD remake of Banana Blitz, will feature a hidden character for players to unlock. That character is none other than Sega’s own Sonic the Hedgehog. While details are scarce at the moment, Sonic appears to play similar to
When I first saw HP’s Omen X 2S dual-screen gaming laptop a couple of months ago, I thought they were having a laugh. After all, what could you possibly do with such a tiny secondary display above the main keyboard when you’re playing games? It screamed ‘gimmick’ at the time, but after visiting Intel’s Open
Epic Games is no stranger to using viral events to promote the next season of its popular game Fortnite, but the newest way of hinting at what’s next puts the strange purple cube from last year to shame. This morning, rockets flew through the map, then converged with a meteor to destroy the game’s world.
Fortnite: Battle Royale‘s ominous countdown has ended, and a rocket barrage fractured its (extremely pretty) skydome. Then all the players, the entire map, and even the long-suffering battle bus were hoovered up into oblivion. Now the entire game’s been replaced by a mysterious (and occasionally horrifically flickering) black hole. A normal Sunday night. The black
Fix ’em up In all the hubbub of the week, you might’ve missed some of the patches and updates rolled out to games. Presenting the Weekly Updates Update, a noncomprehensive roundup of new maps and characters and balance tweaks and fixes and such which caught my eye over the week – including a few we
Fortnite‘s had a good run. Since an admittedly awkward 2017 launch, it’s become this cultural behemoth, completely unparseable yet unstoppably popular. But it’s acquired some bloat over those two years – Map locations have vanished, reappeared and warped in and out. Weapons and gimmicks have floated in and out of an interdimensional vault, a vault
Can’t Stop Playing is our monthly celebration of a game we’re loving. This time we have been buried under the pixel avalanches of physicsy roguelike Noita. Watch out for more articles on it throughout the month. “Ants. Cover them in ants.” The RPS treehouse is gathered around my screen, where several dozen stickmen are currently
Well, perhaps take that with a pinch of salt. Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone’s upcoming work on the charming farming lifestyle sim won’t contain the sum of all things. But that’s what the Stardew Valley developer has begun calling the 1.4 update, and he’s not exactly wrong. From fishponds to marriage, and dozens of vital little quality
Washington D.C. is still under siege, and fans of The Division 2 are getting a huge content update sooner rather than later. Ubisoft announced today that the next wave of paid downloadable content for The Division 2 will be launching next week, October 15, for players who’ve purchased the Year 1 Pass. Title Update 6 includes two new

On the official Doom twitter account today, id Software announced a delay to the upcoming Doom Eternal. The game is now expected to launch on March 20, 2020 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The Switch version is slated for a future release with no specific date and time given. In addition to the delay news,
Updated October 8, 9:10 AM Today on PlayStation Blog, Sony provided an update for its next-generation console, which is now officially called PlayStation 5 and is releasing during 2020’s holiday season. Jim Ryan, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s president and CEO also outlined changes to the PlayStation 5’s controller. “There are two key innovations with the PlayStation
PlayStation 4 users will no longer be able to use Facebook integration to share content or connect with friends, according to Sony’s support website. As of October 7, the video game publisher has yet to give a reason for the split from the social media giant, but it assured fans that the console’s share feature
“Lovecraftian” is a word that I wouldn’t exactly called abused, but it’s both easily recognised and a little open to interpretation. Stygian‘s intepretation of Lovecraftian horror is almost meta. I’d call the core of Lovecraft a confrontation of reality. It’s not that the truth is gory or big or even scary. It’s that it just
One of the few things that’ll coax me outside under a damp October sky is the chance to pick mushrooms, and now I don’t even have to do that thanks to the joys of video games, specifically Mushroom Hunt. The free text adventure has a lot going on besides just looking for tasty fungi too,
In all the hubbub of the week, you might’ve missed some of the patches and updates rolled out to games. Presenting the Weekly Updates Update, a noncomprehensive roundup of new maps and characters and balance tweaks and fixes and such which caught my eye over the week – including a few we haven’t posted about.
Iron Man VR was announced in March and has looked promising ever since. However, while we’ve gotten our hands on a small demo for the game, we’ve been eagerly anticipating playing the full release. During today’s Marvel Games panel at New York Comic Con, Marvel revealed we’ll finally have that opportunity on February 28. IGN
