RTX 5060 | from $339.99 at Amazon RTX 5070 | from $629.99 at Best Buy Yes, I review the best graphics cards, but I wasn't really gunning to play Resident Evil Requiem with blistering specs. Naturally, if you want to play Capcom's latest eerie escapade, you'll need to leverage fps boosting tools like DLSS 4.5 and Multi-Frame Generation, and the game does demonstrate why you'd want to crank the settings up On average, I was hitting around 200fps at 4K ultra settings with Path Tracing on using Multi-Frame Generation x4.
It took me a while to recover from the first big scare in Resident Evil Requiem. There I was, hunched over with a screen inches from my face and headphones in my ears, when a gigantic woman began chasing me through a dimly lit hallway intent on, well, eating me. The successful cross-platform launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was a good early sign for the Switch 2, but Requiem might be the best test so far.

Touting 16 GB of DDR4 and a 512 GB SSD, its otherwise solid entry-level hardware is stymied by a high price, that's only been amplified by those pesky datacenters hoovering up NAND flash left right and centre. For - Slim form factor - Good selection of ports - Relatively affordable… relatively Against - DDR4 sucks - GPU selection is just okay - Many, many different SKUs PC Gamer's got your back This is the Nitro V 15, a modern entry-level gaming laptop from Acer. I mean It doesn't quite manage to hit that $1,000 mark, at least not in the US, where it retails at $1,079 (it slides under at £925 in the UK), but there is at least some justification as to why these hardware concessions are there. Compared to something like Gigabyte's Gaming A16 with its (admittedly 32 GB of) DDR5 clocked at 5,200 MT/s, and even with the same processor, percentage change is around 66% by comparison.
Why Hiro is bullish on UK and EU game dev funding after helping The Chinese Room and Bulkhead go independent VC firm sees "a new wave of companies" capitalising on strong teams and IP, while regulations limit US investment VC firm Hiro Capital has unveiled a brand new advisory division. Hiro Advisory was established 18 months ago and is helmed by founding partners Spike Laurie, who is a partner at the VC, and industry veteran Mike McGarvey, who has worked at Eidos (as president, CEO and COO), early streaming firm OnLive, and QA giant Testronic over his 30-plus-year career. Part of the reason that Hiro opted to launch this new advisory arm is the state of the market; as McGarvey sees it, we have now moved on through the business cycle from consolidation to fragmentation – layoffs, closures and strategy changes mean that there are a lot of people out in the market now that might require business guidance as they try to navigate the ever-changing waters of the games industry. "It's an opportune time for us as advisors." Hiro Advisory has already helped facilitate The Chinese Room and Bulkhead Interactive's move to independence from Tencent-owned Sumo Group and Tencent, respectively.

Highguard's high-profile mistakes should be a lesson for other developers | Opinion Wildlight's game might not deserve the internet vitriol, but its missteps have left it in a tough spot – and provide a stark warning to others When Wildlight Entertainment scored the closing spot at the Game Awards a couple of months ago for their previously unannounced hero shooter Highguard, it must have felt like an immense coup for the game. Taking one of the most high profile promotional spots the industry can offer was, on paper, a way to rise above the crowded market and cut through the Gordian knot of discoverability. Instead, the team has spent much of the past couple of months feeling like a punching bag, having gone from almost complete anonymity to being subjected to mountains of scorn, much of it undeserved. The final blow, knocking the wind entirely from their chests, has been a disappointing launch performance followed almost instantly by layoffs at the studio.
Secret Mode busted out of the Tencent-owned Sumo Group last year. Ed Blincoe and James Schall elaborate on the funding help that got the publisher Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and why they're betting big on niche titles Back in February 2025, the UK-based Sumo Group – which has been owned by Tencent since 2021 – announced it would be focusing "exclusively on development services for partners." In other words, it would be doubling down on things like co-development, and would no longer be making its own games (the group's previous titles include Crackdown 3 and Sackboy: A Big Adventure). Naturally, when this news was delivered internally in late 2024, staff at the Sumo-owned indie publisher Secret Mode turned to look at each other with raised eyebrows and concerned expressions. "We were in this tricky situation where we didn't fit that, and we didn't really fit what Tencent were looking to do in the West either at that time," recalls Secret Mode CEO Ed Blincoe.
Consoles are still in good health, despite market fears | Opinion Economic headwinds and cost concerns remain real, but figures from Sony and Nintendo show both companies’ platforms are on broadly the right trajectory. Given the broad economic situation and the specific headwinds the games industry currently faces, we're all probably primed to expect the worst from financial results season. Nonetheless, GTA6 will provide the platform for PS5 to see out its lifecycle in good form, likely helping to keep sales consistent through 2027 and get PS5 up to the 125m+ line that Sony will be targeting in that timeframe. Switch 2 still lacks a big Mario or Zelda title, and while a Mario Kart title is always a big deal, Mario Kart World faces a bit of a first-world problem in the form of Mario Kart 8 still being one of the best-selling video games in many markets.
"We're not going to topple Steam" – Epic Games Store head Steve Allison heralds the path of co-existence "Our growth is not about the exclusives. Our growth is going to come from shifting the share of sales on games shipping in both places" Steve Allison, GM of the Epic Games Store, is adamant that the vision was never to unseat Steam as the dominant player. It's a challenge for sure, but we're definitely on our way of making tons of progress." He is quick to highlight the leap in spending on third-party games in 2025 – up 57% to $400 million. Plus, in June last year, Epic announced a new deal whereby developers would keep 100% of the revenue share until the first $1 million – a target that resets each year, meaning smaller titles might never have to pay Epic a penny.
"It's extraordinarily hard to exist as a woman" – Jessica Curry calls out systemic issues in the games industry The co-founder of The Chinese Room adds that talking about these problems can "make myself and other women less employable" "The games industry has been the best and the worst of times for me," said Jessica Curry in an interview with Radio 4's Woman's Hour on January 28. "It's extraordinarily hard to exist as a woman, it kind of broke me in many ways." Curry, who co-founded The Chinese Room in Brighton alongside Dan Pinchbeck, composed the music for almost all of the studio's games. In 2015, Curry became the first solo woman to receive the British Academy Games Award for Music, which she won for her soundtrack to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (pictured above). The concert will feature music from games like Assassin's Creed, Baldur's Gate 3, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, all performed by a 65-piece orchestra.
BF6 Review: The first Battlefield game I can recommend without reservations Having played the final build for about 40 hours, I am more confident in Battlefield 6 than I have ever been in a Battlefield game at launch. I’ve been playing Battlefield since the first time I randomly came across BF1942 at an internet cafe circa 2004. I vividly remember booking time off from work so I can be up to play Battlefield 3 as soon as servers went live, and arguing with friends over Mumble that the skyscraper Levolution event on Siege of Shanghai crashing servers about 60% of the time was really a minor issue that shouldn't detract from how good Battlefield 4 was. Read this next - Watch the Battlefield 6 Season 2 gameplay reveal here - Battlefield 6's next season will speed up battle pass progression, and make it so Redsec players who don't own the game can actually make progress - Battlefield 6’s first big map in months is coming to Labs soon, but I'm more excited about BF4's Golmud Railway making its way to BF6
