As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...
 

PlayStation is Killing Physical Game Discs

Digital only after January 2028.

Starting January 2028, Sony will no longer produce physical discs for new PlayStation game releases. All games released in January 2028 and after will be available only through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store.

    The Last of Us Part 1 PC Updated Second Time in as Many Days

    It's never a good sign when you have two updates out for a game released just two days ago.

    The second update in as many days for The Last of Us Part 1 on the PC was just released. This update brings the game up to v1.0.1.6 and, like yesterday's update, aims to address some of the game's most egregious issues.

    Forthcoming Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Announcement Announced by CD Projekt Red

    We do like our announcements of announcements here.

    It may have started out a little bit rough, but Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way since its release in 2020. At least, that's what I hear. I haven't gone back to replay the game just yet but I hear it's in a pretty good spot right now.

    We already know that CD Projekt Red is busy working on a major story expansion for Cyberpunk 2077. This expansion, named Phantom Liberty was announced as being in development back in September...

    If you are one of the fewer than 2% of all Steam users still using either of these operating systems, it's beyond time you got around to moving on to something newer. Microsoft...

    Wrestlin' Nation: John Cena Joining PGA Tour 2K23

    Better mark it a birdie unless you want to be body-slammed into next Thursday.

    What you need to know about in-game purchases - The Basics

    In-game purchases are now very common among players of all ages. What most gamers probably don't realise is that video game companies use behavioural psychology to heavily stimulate their customers before they even decide to make an in-game purchase. Mobile games played on phones and tablets, and in particular 'free-to-play' downloadable games, are currently leading the way in terms of monetisation. But how is it possible that a product that is free to download and play can, in fact, generate...

    Get another look at a lot of yesterday's biggest stars.

    A launch trailer came out today for Crime Boss: Rockay City. If you don't know about this game, I can't say I really blame you. As far as I know, the only thing we heard about this game previously was when it was announced during The Game Awards last December.

    I haven't seen any news about this. I haven't seen previews about this game. In fact, they still haven't really shown off just what you're even doing in this...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
