a REGULAR GAMER - небольшая инди-студия, известная разработкой Pixel Space. Информации о компании немного, но, судя по названию и стилю игры, можно предположить, что это команда энтузиастов, увлеченных ретро-играми и пиксельной графикой. Вероятно, они стремятся создавать простые, но увлекательные игры, ориентированные на ностальгию и классический геймплей. Детальная история компании и ее основателей, к сожалению, недоступна.
The Steam Frame feels like a viable alternative to the Steam Deck for people who also want VR gameplay in their lives.
To anyone listening closely to what Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has been saying over the past couple of years, this week felt like the clearest sign yet that AI is about to fundamentally change the size of Microsoft’s workforce. Microsoft is now offering voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 employees across the US, UK, Canada, and India. Microsoft now employs around 223,000 people as of June 30th, 5,000 fewer than the 228,000 people it employed in 2025. Xbox hardware and content and services were also down, but a whole third of Microsoft’s revenue came from Azure ($33.17 billion of the $92.3 billion).

Our Verdict Modern Warfare 4 is the bar that this series should regularly aspire to, and a reminder that Call of Duty benefits when it actually tries to change. PC Gamer's got your back There is a new game titled "Call of Duty" every year, but it's not every year that Call of Duty is really back. What is it The next Call of Duty from the original creators of Call of Duty Release date October 23, 2026 Expect to pay $70/£60 Publisher Activision Blizzard Developer Infinity Ward Reviewed on RTX 5090, Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz, 64GB RAM Multiplayer Up to 60 players Steam Deck Unsupported Link Official site The tireless schedule of Activision's load-bearing FPS has resulted in more bad games than good as of late—Modern Warfare 3 was an expansion-sized sequel rushed out the door, Black Ops 6 was a step back for multiplayer, and its immediate followup Black Ops 7 was clocked as superfluous and uninteresting even by rain-or-shine fans. These back-to-back games, shouldered by Treyarch, Sledgehammer, and Raven, had cracks and compromises that suggested the Call of Duty machine just can't keep up with both "good" and "fast" anymore.
Dark Souls 2 Seamless Co-op is the chillest way to play FromSoft's most frustrating game Don't give up, skeleton(s). I have always been one of those pro-Dark Souls 2 revisionists, but man, they really chafe your hams on this one. Iron Keep, Shrine of Amana, Dragon Shrine: Mention these levels to even the most hardened Souls veteran, and they're liable to break into a cold sweat, flashing back to waves of frustrating, overlapping enemies rushing them down to ruin their day. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin remains available, as ever, on Steam, while you can grab Seamless Co-op over on the Dark Souls 2 Nexus.

It's our new daily game fixation and we all stink at it: Can you guess how much used cars cost? Like Wordle, but it's about pricing used cars. If you're into games like Wordle but are looking for an interesting new twist, here's a pitch: Wordle, but it's about pricing used cars Congratulations on your new job at The Daily Lowball, a used car lot where you have to prove to your boss that you know how much second-hand vehicles are worth. My first day on the lot wasn't so smooth after I completely misjudged the resale price of a 2014 Audi Allroad Quattro and utterly biffed my guess on a cherry red 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4.

It gives me great nerdly joy that the Next Fest demo on Steam's 100 most-played games list is a shopkeeping sim (Don't worry, you don't need to be a sim geek to dig it.) As the sicko cartoon goes: "YES… HA HA HA… YES!" That's how I feel while peering at Steam's 100 most-played games list and spotting the Next Fest demo for shopkeeping sim Probably Stolen. A singleplayer game about sitting behind a desk and managing inventory doing that well among the other 8,000+ demos that have arrived for Next Fest? So well it's actually charting with 34,230 concurrent players? I played the demo back in September and loved it because it made me feel like I was running a corner store in Dredd or Cyberpunk 2077.

Obviously, it's wish fulfillment having the likes of Final Fantasy 7's Cloud fighting alongside Final Fantasy 13's Lightning or Final Fantasy 14's Y'shtola, though they are more comparable to the skill-wielding summons from the likes of Persona 5 than true party members.

I haven't wanted to 100% a game in a long time, but… I've only played a bit of offroad driving sim Over the Hill, but I'm already hooked. What's it take for a game to snare me?

Over the Hill is also 20% off on Steam until October 28.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 review-in-progress: A campaign you shouldn't skip A fractured, fun campaign that benefits from looking backward. I just got back from a three-day Modern Warfare 4 review event in Los Angeles. While the ~24 hours of playtime across the campaign, multiplayer, and DMZ was a useful headstart, you never really know how a Call of Duty ranks until you're up against the public. As I watched the credits roll on Modern Warfare 4's campaign, a sobering thought infiltrated: I've been playing Call of Duty for over 20 years—two-thirds of my life.

Valve is toying with a Steam Frame OLED and some Reddit users are already wondering whether to wait an excruciatingly long time for it even though it may never happen Gluttons for punishment. Only a month out from the launch of the Steam Frame, an OLED version is already the talk of the town. Moreover, us humans seem to have very short memories, as while this amounts to nothing more than a couple of lines in the Steam Frame source code—perhaps nothing more than someone at Valve messing around to see what happens—some Reddit users are already wondering whether this is worth waiting for instead of buying a Frame today. Oh, you lot… In the Steam Frame source code, SteamFrameHub spotted various references to "deckard-oled" and "deckard-plano".
