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,...
 

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    FIFA 22 is Now Available

    In case you wanted a soccer game that isn't super broken in 2021.

    EA Sports FIFA 22 is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Stadia, Steam, and Origin. Just as is the case with this year's Madden NFL 22 release, FIFA 22 only features a bunch of next-gen exclusive features not available on the previous generation of consoles nor the PC releases.

    A sneak peak was offered. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Bloober Team just shared the first ever sneak peak at a new Layers of Fear game that the team is working on. It might be called Layers of Fear 3 or it might not. It's not clear yet. A new teaser trailer went live a short time ago today and showed off this new project running on Unreal Engine 5.

    The first Layers of Fear came out in 2016 and was a pretty good psychological horror title. Then there was some DLC for the...

    Cheaters and toxic players beware.

    DICE is already getting their banhammer ready for Battlefield 2042. In a new blog post that went up today, the studio laid out a bunch of new anti-toxic player policies and anti-cheat measures that they hope will result in a positive play environment.

    Part of DICE's commitment to this whole idea includes the ability to report players through an in-game menu. This has started to become more and more typical for multiplayer games like Battlefield...

    New World Might Still be Killing Graphics Cards

    This isn't necessarily an issue with the game, but a manufacturing issue or coincidence.

    In late July 2021, a beta period for Amazon Games' new MMORPG, New World, caused some graphics cards to die. The lack of a framerate cap was initially blamed for killing a small number of RTX 3090 cards, mainly those from EVGA, but that really didn't make much sense. After all, tons of games can run with uncapped framerates and they don't cause PC hardware to die.

    Amazon Games did...

    Forza Horizon 5 PC Requirements

    Is your PC ready to race around Mexico?

    Turn 10 Studios just announced the various hardware you will need to run Forza Horizon 5 on the PC. They offer up some minimum system requirements, recommended specs, and something they're calling "ideal specs." Sadly, Turn 10 did not specify what resolution and framerate they were targeting with any of these tiers, so... that sucks.

    In addition to the specs, seen below, Turn 10 also talks a little bit about some of the...

    Amazon Adds Multiple Servers to Meet New World Demand

    More servers is more better.

    Yesterday, Amazon Games launched their new MMORPG New World to some really eager players. I guess the desire for a new MMO was extra strong because damn did this game ever take off. As we reported yesterday, there were several hundred thousand people stuck in server queues for multiple hours. These were in addition to the some 427,000+ players that were already actually playing at the time.

    Part of the problem for New World is the fact that...

    SadlyItsBradley noticed several references to something called "Deckard" in the latest update for SteamVR. He says that information...
