Sony is running a new PS5 ad on YouTube that may have inadvertently revealed the release window for Gran Turismo 7. One eagle-eyed viewer was able to read the fine print at the bottom of the advertisement, which featured an image taken directly from GT7. The screenshot posted online is in French, but when translated roughly means, “release planned for the first half of 2021.” It’s not much, but we’ll take what we can get – Sony has been tight-lipped out Gran Turismo 7, so it’s great to finally get even the tiniest bit of info....

A fan project made up of reverse-engineered source code for GTA 3 and GTA Vice City has been restored following a counterclaim by its creators. A group responsible for reverse engineering GTA 3 and GTA Vice City’s source code in order to add to and improve the game was hit with a DMCA Takedown earlier this year. The projects, which took years to make and are called re3 and reVC, were swiftly removed from GitHub following the takedown which was issued by Rockstar parent company, Take-Two Interactive....

While players have called upon developer Jam City to patch these plot holes up, the latest Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery update has added yet another plot issue. The latest major update to Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery introduced pets, allowing players to purchase a rat, a toad, a cat, and an owl....

While a permanent price drop may be on the horizon, right now, an Xbox One X retails for $499. This price tag makes sense considering it’s technically the world’s most powerful home video game console, and the price doesn’t seem to have deterred too many consumers from picking one up, but some may be more interested if they could get it cheaper. Luckily for those holding out, it’s possible to get an Xbox One X for just $200 right now through the latest GameStop trade-in deal....

Stephen Cebula is currently awaiting trial for the posting death threats on Blizzard’s Facebook page, and could face up to five years in federal prison.

The upcoming release of Horizon Forbidden West has excited more than a few fans.

Horizon Zero Dawn from Guerrilla Games is known for its vast open-world populated with generously detailed mechanized dinosaurs, which captured gamers’ imaginations when it was first released on PS4 in 2017. A PC-version of the game released in 2020 and offers a stunning 4K-resolution with even more detailed visuals. However, most players probably missed Horizon’s 72p resolution option on PC, as pointed out by dedicated retro YouTuber St1kia on Twitter....

Project Maverick has finally been unveiled to the world as Star Wars: Squadrons, a brand new starfighter combat game from the same team behind the Star Wars: Battlefront 2 campaign. Despite the same creative team, Star Wars: Squadrons is a vastly different game and has a lot to offer for fans of Battlefront 2’s starfighter based modes or older games like Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and Rogue Squadron. From an exciting lack of microtransactions to the new Fleet Battle multiplayer mode, there’s a lot about Star Wars: Squadrons that sets it apart from everything that’s come before....

Mods make the gaming world go round. Community-made content for the community. But most games don’t directly support and have a way to manage mods, making it complex to actually do by yourself. If you’re one of the many people who get too confused and frustrated at trying to manually install mods for video games, specifically your favorite farming game known as Stardew Valley, look no further. There are only two small steps you need to make before directly downloading mods to ensure the mods work correctly with the game files and are supported....

Google Authenticator is an excellent free tool that you can use to ensure your online accounts are secured. This is a two-factor authentication system that enables a second step on your logins for an extra layer of security. Even the most secure passwords can still be compromised by hackers or social engineering, but they can’t also access your phone for that one-time code. So Google Authenticator is an excellent tool to add to your arsenal and protect yourself online, but how do you use it?...

Toys can be a creepy thing when they want to be. When I was a youngling, Furbys were all the rage. With their bug eyes, hairy faces and odd shape, these things looked like something out of a horror film, and frankly, I’m glad they don’t really exist anymore. I also remember my grandma buying my brother this tiger toy with eyes and paws that lit up red when you pressed a button....

Prey just got a 60fps update on Xbox Series X/S, and it’s also on Game Pass. It’s one of the most underrated games in recent memory and I hope this essay explains why it’s worth your time. Video games like Prey are hard to explain, and as media, we often get caught up in contextualising them as “like other games”. These “other games” are mostly from a specific era of PC gaming, and not everyone had access to a gaming-capable computer growing up....
