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

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

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...

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast.

    PSA: Play a 48-Hour Trial for Titanfall - Origin Game Time Program Detailed

    EA kicked off their new "Origin Game Time" program today. This program allows players to give a trial run to a game of EA's choosing for a period of 48 hours. The first game offered for this new program? Titanfall.

    From the sounds of it, despite the trial beginning this weekend, the 48-hour time period itself doesn't actually start until you launch the game for the first time. That actually sounds like an incredibly smart idea.

    Ubisoft Offers Explanation for why Watch Dogs PC Contains Hidden Graphical Options

    Ubisoft offers up a brief explanation as to why Watch Dogs for the PC contains some hidden graphical options.
    The dev team is completely dedicated to getting the most out of each platform, so the notion that we would actively downgrade quality is contrary to everything we’ve set out to achieve. We test and optimize our games for each platform on which they’re released, striving for the best possible quality. The PC version does indeed contain some old, unused render settings that were

    While Capcom is recommending PC gamers play Dead Rising 3 at 30fps, as that is what the game is designed for, they won't stop you from uncapping the framerate if you wish.

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Gameplay Demo Tomorrow

    Tomorrow, Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions will make public the gameplay demo they showed off to the press at E3 2014 for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

    The event will be streamed live at 3AM (PT) or 6AM (ET) through the Kojima Station Twitch channel. Given that the live gameplay demonstration will take place in the wee hours of the morning, there is a very small chance I'll be watching it live. Fortunately for you, Konami tells me that they will be "working...

    Heists are once again delayed for GTA Online, so says Rockstar. The Heists were planned to arrive shortly after the launch of GTA Online and were then pushed back to a vague "Spring" release. Well, Spring has essentially come and gone and now Rockstar has delayed the Heists even further.
    We know many fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Online Heists that we had planned to release for you this spring, and they are taking more time to create than originally anticipated.
