Last month, Microsoft submitted a new deal to the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority regulatory agency that proposes Ubisoft get the rights to Activision Blizzard game streaming for 15 years. Microsoft did this to get its acquisition of Activision Blizzard approved by the CMA after the regulator previously blocked it over cloud gaming concerns. One

Hifiman’s Ananda open-back headphones aren’t what I would call the most obvious choice for a gaming headset – they lack a microphone and debuted at $999, for one – but they also sound incredible, are super comfortable and are currently $600 off at Amazon in the US… so I thought this might interest the audiophile

Octopath Traveler II is one of the year’s most celebrated RPGs, and now Xbox fans have been invited to join the party. The game is coming to Microsoft’s consoles and Windows PC early next year.

Hop onto Game Pass today and you’ll find the launch day arrival of Lies Of P, which Ed describes as “an instant must-play for Soulslikers” in his review. I’m a Soulsavoider, so I’m more interested in the other games coming to Microsoft’s Full Convergence stepping stone in the next couple of weeks, including Cocoon and

September gets its second batch of new Xbox Game Pass games this week, kicking off with today’s launch of the well-received Lies of P. The long-awaited Payday 3 invites players to its world of multiplayer heists, the promising and mysterious indie game Cocoon arrives, and the multiplayer DC action game Gotham Knights lands on the service

Following in the wake of last month’s sizeable 4.0 update, Genshin Impact’s latest patch is arriving next week – and we now know what to expect from the 4.1 release.

When anti-piracy software Denuvo is removed from a game days before its release date, it’s usually because pirates cracked an early access version. Not so with Payday 3. It’s due to release on September 21st, but its developers have decided to handle things themselves. “Denuvo is no longer in Paday 3,” they announced yesterday, ahead

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.

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

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.

Cyberpunk 2077‘s Update 2.0 – which adds new skill trees and perks, vehicle combat, and revamped police responses to the FPS-RPG – will launch on September 21st.
