For this week's Saturday Read, the people behind GOG explain what it takes to build a business around game preservation
Few games have changed the trajectory of their respective series quite like Monster Hunter World, one of the biggest smash hits Capcom has ever created. World was a vibrant, expansive, and ambitious leap that paid off in spades. It makes sense, then, that eight years later the series would still be chasing that high. Even with the time that's passed, I find myself amazed that Monster Hunter Outlanders, essentially, manages to cram the experience of World into a mobile game.

Valve feels like one of the only companies left actually trying to harness this technology for the benefit of gamers, but due to the RAM and storage crisis, it's had to price it above $1,000/£800. The Quest 3 now sits at $599, but the Steam Frame's most affordable configuration costs $1,049 / £889. If you opt for the 1TB model, you're talking $1,089 / £1,299, and although you get Half-Life: Alyx included in all of those costs, it's a dramatically more substantial price tag than the mainstream option that's been on the shelves for three years.
Modern Warfare 4 arrives at a strange time for the Call of Duty series. Despite being a solid multiplayer shooter, 2025’s Black Ops 7 became the franchise’s lowest-selling game since 2008’s World at War in the US. Activision itself recently admitted that following up 2024’s Black Ops 6 with another Black Ops, after doing the same with Modern Warfare 2 and 3, didn’t offer the variety that fans wanted. Verdict Modern Warfare 4 stands alongside Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare 2 (2009) as one of the most complete Call of Duty titles to date.
Can the SideWinder Game Pad, Microsoft's first game controller, work on modern PCs? I bought three of them to find out The past and fiddly present of the Xbox controller's ancestor 1996 gave us two incredible gifts. The second, arguably more impactful on the course of human civilisation, was the Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad 1.0. Launched in 1995 with the 3D Pro and Standard joysticks, the hardware family would eventually comprise gamepads, racing wheels, a game voice device to talk with friends and vocally control your game, and a massive mouse with more buttons than my nana’s vest.

Control Resonant is delightfully weird: a sequel that isn't afraid to fly its freak flag as it pits you against all manner of supernatural phenomena wreaking havoc on Manhattan. But between bosses that resemble Francis Bacon-inspired nightmare fuel and other spooky occurrences, The Board is undoubtedly the scene-stealer of Control Resonant--and that's without you even seeing them! The Board is louder than ever as it accompanies Dylan Faden in Remedy's new game, seemingly trapped in the powerful shape-shifting artifact that he uses to smash his way through The Hiss and The Patterning. The Board is right here, and you get to experience the full council." A symbolic version of anger The Board was the first audio concept made for Control Resonant, with work on the entity dating back to September 2021, Pierrot said.
Our Verdict LG's new 52-inch 5K2K monster gaming monitor makes for just about the most immersive gaming experience imaginable. For - Unparalleled gaming immersion - Tolerable pixel density - Good connectivity Against - Very expensive for a non-OLED - No local dimming - Poor pixel response PC Gamer's got your back Can you have too much of a mediocre thing? After all, this LG clocks in at $1,699 or £1,499, which buys you an awful lot of 4K TV here in late 2026.

My GOTY is $7 and has 253 Steam reviews Stuntboost is a racing game for FPS movement sickos. Those are the tags affixed to the Steam page for Stuntboost, a game that I've had trouble summing up with a clean label when asked about it. Stuntboost is a skateboarding game that sometimes features a car, a platformer with a speedometer, an ode to those shrunken bedroom maps popularized by early FPS modders. I am in awe of how unique and fun and fully-featured this thing is, and for $7.
Debra Wilson’s voice, one of the most recognizable in video games, carries a singular authority. It’s a sound that’s propped up special agents, presidents, military commanders, dragons, demons, and Jedi masters. But despite her incredible range--Wolfenstein cutscene director Tom Keegan calls her "his muse" because he loves to work with her so much--she’s also one of gaming's most recognizable faces. But he didn't speak English." Wilson as Doctor in Death Stranding 2 Death Stranding 2 is a game in which all the complicated lore is already established, but Wilson didn’t know her BBs from her chiralium.

Mark Darrah, who worked as an Executive Producer at BioWare from 1997–2021, shared his thoughts on the studio’s recent closure by EA and what he thinks might happen to its iconic IPs. EA announced a major restructuring in a lengthy statement on October 21. Amid some exciting developments for Sims, Fight Night, and Star Wars fans came the devastating news that BioWare — the studio responsible for beloved series like Mass Effect and Dragon Age — was being shut down. They might start into a revenue-generation mode where selling IPs might be more desirable.” It’s worth mentioning that EA was acquired by a consortium of private investors back in August in a mind-boggling $55 billion deal.
EA has closed BioWare, canceled the next Mass Effect, and, most importantly, upended the lives of even more game developers in a tumultuous time for the industry. In response, developers are paying tribute to the legendary RPG studio online, with many calling its games pivotal to their own creative paths. 17-year BioWare veteran and longtime director Michael Gamble shared the studio's news post. New Bungie head Josh Deane replied to Gamble's post, saying, "Thank you and to everyone at Bioware who has built worlds that have been such an important part of our lives." In a separate post, Deane adds, "This studio is magical and an existential part of my favorite gaming memories, I refuse to believe this..." CD Projekt Red veteran Paweł Sasko, a face of the studio to many fans of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher, says "Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 shaped my imagination and the desire to create games.
After a few hours with Yakuza studio's soulful Stranger Than Heaven, I'm smitten, but I suspect it'll be a divisive game Opening act. Who doesn't love a big swing, a bold new direction, especially when so many video game publishers seem increasingly determined to walk the safest route? While Stranger Than Heaven might look familiar at first glance - particularly if you're a fan of Like a Dragon developer RGG's other third-person action games - it differs where it counts. Read this next - Sega and Netflix partner for a "cute yet cool" Sonic TV Show, a Crazy Taxi film, and a "badass action" Stranger Than Heaven adaptation - Yakuza and Like a Dragon developer RGG Studio finally gives Stranger Than Heaven a release window - Stranger Than Heaven's new combat system sounds pretty complicated, but looks absolutely amazing
Final Fantasy Resonance is going to end up an interesting case study, I think. It’s a game that ultimately began life on mobile platforms under the name Final Fantasy Brave Exvius – which subsequently remained in limbo when it ceased operations in October 2025. Nearly a year later, Square Enix is dusting things off and priming it for release under the Resonance banner, along with offering a full overhaul for contemporary platforms. Each of these are based on classic Final Fantasy series heroes – you’ve got Warrior of Light from the original Final Fantasy, all the way through Clive from the more recent Final Fantasy XVI – and can be obtained by frequenting Sanctums of Light scattered all over the world.
DayZ creator Dean Hall says "our industry is rotting from its core" because of big-company "greed", aiming shots at Epic's Unreal and Unity "Developers have surrendered an extraordinary amount of control." UPDATED 3.30PM BST: Dean Hall has explained more about his idea in an email exchange with Eurogamer, clarifying issues such as whether it uses or welcomes any form of generative AI, while offering some more strongly worded criticisms about Epic's Unreal engine and Unity. Primarily, I wanted to clarify what Brutal's relationship was with generative AI, if any, because it's the tech topic of the moment and something both Epic and Unreal, and Unity, are all-in on. In this regard, Hall answered: "There is no generative AI inside it, no tooling or scripts for making generative AI assets. And it's raised more than $230,000 so far that way.
World of Warcraft: Forever isn't out yet, but it's already clear it has a major problem. It's not the addition of Skyborne elves that require players to pay $30, or controversial class changes like Warrior's Rage normalization. The two streamers were clearly benefiting from gold buying (even if they weren't the ones buying it directly) in the lead-up to an upcoming WoW: Forever beta PvP tournament with a $100,000 prize pool. To put in perspective just how gigantic 74,000 players is, WoW Classic's servers in 2019 held a max of around 10-12,000 players, triple the capacity of servers back in 2004 when WoW originally launched.
Edwin came up the ladder to my office last week to remind me that my quarterly Maw Safety Certification was up for renewal. Without an in date health and safety and wild eldritch creature control license, I'm not allowed to remain in the Treehouse and we have to shut down the site. So, today I'm down in the Maw's chamber coaxing it to hock up some globules of games. Edwin's here, of course, though he seems pretty smug to be on the other side of the plexiglass for a change.
There are over 230 million copies of Grand Theft Auto 5 in the world. As the second-highest selling game of all time, it has been played for billions of hours by players across the globe, making it one of the most significant pastimes in the entire world. That’s an impressive achievement for what in 2013 was simply the highly-anticipated next entry in Rockstar’s beloved (and notorious) open-world crime series. Thanks to the enduring love for its single-player story campaign and its ever-popular, seemingly invincible online mode, GTA 5 has spanned three console generations and made around $10 billion dollars for publisher Take-Two – over 3 times more than the highest-grossing movie ever.
In the age of near photorealism, it takes a lot for a game's visuals to impress me. As cramming yet more pixels into a videogame character's face provides diminishing returns, standing out from the crowd is increasingly about how creative developers get in applying that power.
