A second post-launch patch is hitting Cyberpunk 2077, fixing more bugs causing crashes and halting quests, among other issues. Hotfix 1.05 launched on consoles overnight, with the devs saying it would “follow soon” on PC. I’m not seeing yet, though. CDPR also offer a tantalising note about wanting to support people who make mods, though

We’ve been waiting a long time to see what Nintendo and Universal Studios Japan has in store for fans when Super Nintendo World opens its doors in 2021, and during a special Nintendo Direct video, we got a glimpse at the soon-to-open theme park area.

Wattam, the silly puzzler about combining strange sentient objects, originally came out a year ago. It’s been scloosies with the Epic Games Store for the year, but hey you can now find it over on Steam. It’s currently 50% off on both stores, so now’s as good a time as any to snatch up this

CD Projekt Red states it has started reaching out to players who applied for refunds of Cyberpunk 2077. The game launched as a technical mess on consoles, specifically the base versions of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, causing many disgruntled players to want their money back.

Nintendo revealed that Sephiroth is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate last week and just today the team showed off more of what he brings to the fighting game. From different moves to different looks, Sephiroth is bringing some serious stabbing energy into the Switch staple but he’s not just a gift because of his

Epic Games are the Fortnite company, sure. But on the developer side of things, they’re the Unreal Engine company – and while Fortnite is obviously made using that base, the two rarely overlapped if you weren’t actively employed to work on the battle royale. Next year, however, Fortnite players will be able to spice up

Alright alright, quiet down class. We’ve got a new student in the school of unlikely objects used to control games. Move over, goose costume. Pipe down, theremin. This Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War player is using a recorder. Yes, the thing you never properly learned to play Hot Cross Buns on can be used

As much a part of the season as indoor trees and mysterious boxes, Overwatch‘s annual Winter Wonderland has rolled back in for another year. 2020’s edition of Christmas in Blizzardland introduces new 4v4 freeze-tag brawl “Freezethaw Elimination”, brings back limited modes from the ghosts of Overwatch past, and once again adds a bundle of wonderfully

When you’re picking your stylized action/RPG titles these days, you have a wealth of choices, including a whole slew of 2Dish options that fit the bill of challenging and atmospheric fare. These range from the highly acclaimed Hollow Knight to Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, but there’s often fun to be had across the board. You can even

Alright, I’ll show my hand. I do not like card games. Yet somehow, when developers toss the concept of cards into types of games that don’t normally have them, I’m interested. So it is with Fights In Tight Spaces, which I was quite taken by when it was first announced. If you’re one for tactical

This is the RPS Advent Calendar, in which we reveal one of our favourite PC games of 2020 on each day. Head back to the calendar to open another door. This is a strange old door. It’s upside down, for a start, and it’s got a faint whiff of flamingo meat to it. You’ve got

Cyberpunk 2077‘s creators evidently had high hopes for their sprawling Keanu-toting RPG. But with the game lander rougher (read: buggier) than expected, CD Projekt executives have reportedly chosen to rethink their bonus structure, promising to pay developers their full share of their bonuses regardless of how well Cyberpunk reviews – even if, y’know, gating employee

Earlier this week, I opened up about how one of the more dangerous aspects in the game – the braindance sequences – was incidentally designed in a way that medical professionals use to trigger seizures for diagnostic purposes. That design caused me a grand mal seizure, which inspired me to write a small guide about

Destiny players have grown accustomed to the arrival of The Dawning around this time every year. Bungie’s in-game holiday celebration may not mention things like Hannukkah, Christmas, or New Years in any direct way, but it nonetheless is certainly an opportunity for snowy themes, gifts, and frolicking. Every year brings a few twists on expectation, and

Sega has announced that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s beloved Yakuza franchise will soon be nearly complete on Xbox and PC.

During last night’s The Game Awards show with games announcements man Geoff Keighley, a different Geoff actually arrived to deliver one of the reveals. Geoff Ramsey, one of the voices from ye olde Halo-based Red Vs Blue web series, popped out in character as Grif of the red team to announce a new capture the

Even though it couldn’t be held with an audience present, The Game Awards was still a spectacle this year.  With celebrity appearances, new game reveals, and (of course) awards, viewers had a lot to take in over the event’s three-hour runtime. But for those who didn’t watch the live broadcast online – or don’t have several hours to devote to

So long, Flash. After decades of driving independent game developers, animators and artists, the venerable web tool is being shut down for good at the end of the month. This week, Adobe pushed the final release of Flash Player to the web with a fond farewell – and an encouragement to uninstall the compromised tool

Much like an entertaining Josef Fares rant or a “surprise” Hideo Kojima appearance, celebrity cameos have become a staple of The Game Awards. Host Geoff Keighly has spent the last week name dropping the big stars on Twitter that will be hosting the all-virtual awards show.  The names range from Hollywood stars to game industry

Grand Theft Auto Online players are in store for another heist next week that’ll take you off to a warm island crimecation.

Remember that big Halo Infinite delay announcement? Halo Infinite now has a release window, targeting fall 2021.

After one Cyberpunk 2077 reviewer suffered a seizure during a particularly visually-intense section of the game, an epilepsy charity have called for CD Projekt Red to consider updating the game in response. It’s perhaps not surprising that the dystopian RPG has garish nightclubs and computer glitches, but one particular gadget bears flashing lights with a

Gamers were introduced to developer Cococumber’sEcho Generation during Xbox’s Summer Games Fest, the pre-show for Xbox Games Showcase. The voxel-art RPG takes the “charming kids embark on a supernatural adventure” vibe of EarthBound and Stranger Things and combines it with classic role-playing trappings. In collaboration with The Game Awards, interested players can take the game

Chronos: Before The Ashes reviewA substandard soulslike that’s actually a port of the VR original. I’d say you’re better off ditching this version and getting your Oculus on. Developer: Gunfire Games, THQ Nordic Publisher: THQ Nordic Release: Out now On: Windows From: Steam Price: £25/€27/$27 I think Chronos: Before The Ashes is very much okay.

An old man in Northern Spain claims to have a direct line to the divine, and you’re off to see if he’s legit. Interview With The Whisperer, a free short story from the creators of The Red Strings Club and The Bookshelf Limbo, is a wonderfully intimate conversation with a distracted old man and –
