From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...

    Kiryu Joins Rainbow Six Siege

    Well, sort of.

    Year 7 Season 2 for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege will begin on June 7. When it arrives, it will feature a crossover with the Yakuza franchise that probably nobody saw coming.

  • Destiny 2 Season 17 Trailer Released Ahead of Schedule

    Destiny 2 Season 17 Trailer Released Ahead of Schedule

    PlayStation Japan did an oopsie.

    Bungie has been very cagey about releasing any information regarding Season 17 for Destiny 2. This silence is very unlike the studio, as they commonly have massive information drops days if not weeks ahead of a new Season. In fact, the plan was to not even release the Season 17 trailer until mere hours before the Season begins on Tuesday, May 24.

    Leave it up to forces outside of their control to ruin some big surprises for players. PlayStation...
