One of the worst aspects of mobile gaming is trying to find a comfortable way to hold the phone during extended sessions. Phones weren’t designed to be held for hours on end, something that becomes painfully clear as you constantly shake your hands and circle your wrists to feel your fingers again. Making matters even worse is the fact that these intense gaming sessions wreak havoc on your phone’s battery, draining its juice at an accelerated pace....

I’ve been playing Breathedge a lot since it left Early Access late last month. The Subnautica-like outer space survival game scratches a totally different itch than multiplayer survival-crafting games like Valheim. The handcrafted world with intentionally placed upgrades and resources offers a nearly constant stream of small victories and bite-sized progression that keeps me engaged for hours on end. I like almost everything about Breathedge, but there’s one aspect of the game that is really starting to get on my nerves....

Immortals Fenyx Rising was one of Ubisoft’s most interesting releases of the last half-decade. The open-world adventure set in a land of mythological fantasy had players customize their version of Fenyx, a young Greek tasked with vanquishing evil. Its highly saturated colors and chunky art style make it kid-friendly, but that doesn’t mean adults haven’t had a blast with it. For those who have completed their time with the game, though, it’s time to look at some open-world games they should consider playing after finishing Immortals Fenyx Rising....

Ed Boon reveals that the first gameplay footage of Injustice 2 will air during the finals of a major Mortal Kombat X tournament scheduled for this weekend. Earlier this week, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive lifted the lid on Injustice 2, a sequel to the superhero scrapper released in 2013. Now, there’s word that in-game footage from the title will debut this Sunday. The finals of the ESL Mortal Kombat X Pro League are scheduled for this weekend, and given that the game is linked to Injustice by way of its developer, that event will be the setting for the gameplay reveal....

Game Rant had a chance to sit down and ask a few questions to Michel Ziegler, creator of upcoming pencil-drawn horror game Mundaun. We’ve seen glimpses of Mundaun before, but jumped at the chance to talk directly to its creator. The game is set in the Alps, with an exceptionally unique artstyle characterized by hand-penciled textures that result in a hauntingly organic greyscale. Ziegler discussed the process of making Mundaun, its unique art and mood, as well as his opinions on other artistic games and what he’d do if put in control of a AAA studio....

When Destiny 2 hits this fall, it is sure to bring a plethora of guns, armor, and items with designs that have never been seen before. But does a promotional image for the game’s Beta give a hint at a class of ship that will be coming in Destiny 2? The image in question can be seen in multiple places, as it is the “Pre-order and get Beta Early Access” logo used in the marketing for Destiny 2....

November 19 marks the first birthday of Google Stadia, the streaming service that proved that modern games can be played solely through an Internet connection. Google Stadia was originally promoted as a streaming service that outmatched the PS4 and Xbox One. The concept of Stadia is that it can run modern games without the need for expensive hardware. All you need to run games on Stadia is a device that can run Chrome/one of the new Chromecasts for TVs, a compatible controller, and a decent Internet connection....

PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has revealed Gran Turismo 7 will not be released until 2022, citing issues related to COVID-19 as the reason for the delay. COVID-19 has gripped the entire world for close to a year now, and the ways in which various industries have been affected are countless. In the entertainment world, TV shows, movies, and yes, video game releases have been pushed back and delayed countless times. The release of Gran Turismo 7 can now be added to that list as the racing game will now not see the light of day until 2022....

Grand Theft Auto 5 gets another Marvel comics inspired mod with the addition of Spider-Man’s biggest foe and the villain’s iconic, and deadly, vehicle of choice. Although Grand Theft Auto 5 launched all the way back in 2013, gamers are still having plenty of fun torturing the citizens of Los Santos. The game has thrived long passed its release, and stayed on top of sales charts, thanks to constant improvements and content additions to GTA Online and the PC community’s dedication to making the game fresh with creative mods....

Heists are a huge part of GTA Online and a great way to earn big money. Here’s how to get started in the game’s lucrative heist scene. Although Grand Theft Auto V’s online element started busy and has remained that way for its entire run, the streets of Los Santos are busier than ever right now. That’s due to the fact Epic Games offered GTA V for free last week. So many people took Epic up on the offer that the online store crashed....

Don’t expect to receive a lump sum of GTA$1,000,000, though. For every week that you play GTA Online, you’ll receive GTA$200,000 within 72-hours of playing. If you play for four consecutive weeks in a row, you’ll qualify for an additional GTA$200,000, which will automatically be deposited into your Maze Bank account, bringing your total haul to GTA$1,000,000. You will, however, be able to immediately secure the Kosatka Submarine Sonar Station and be eligible for in-game discounts once you link your accounts....

GTA Online’s new Doomsday Heist has now been released, and with it comes a huge amount of new content for players of the highly successful online title to enjoy. Announced relatively recently, the Doomsday Heist is the first heist to be released for GTA Online since the release of the Heists update back in 2015, but the namesake heist is not the only element of this new update. The Doomsday Heist is also GTA Online’s Title Update 1....

Guerilla Games has finally released a patch for the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn, but it doesn’t quite fix everything that’s wrong with this troubled port. By now, reports of Horizon Zero Dawn’s problematic PC port have likely made the rounds in the PC gaming community. Issues like bad frame rate, slowdowns, stuttering, and all-around poor performance on certain PC hardware configs are giving the game a bad name on Steam....

Halo developer 343 Industries is giving back to fans after fans gave back to them, in the form of a free pizza weapon skin in Halo 5. Anyone who signs into Halo 5 starting on March 17th will receive a complimentary Last Slice skin. It all started earlier this week when 343 Industries announced that The Master Chief Collection will be coming to PC, and will also be adding Halo: Reach, which was not included in the original console release....

Despite not making the top ten selling games list for February 2017, critics seemed to largely agree that Halo Wars 2 is a fun game for anyone looking to explore the same universe that Master Chief calls home – albeit through the lens of a different protagonist in another genre. Even though may players have likely put a bow on the campaign by now, Microsoft still appears eager to support the game....

Two years ago, hot off the heels of the success of Pokemon GO, Niantic announced that it was making a similar game set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

HBO’s dedicated streaming service HBO Max launched with a heap of content earlier this year, and like every streaming service, the executives have rushed to put more original series in the pipeline.

Lovecraft Country follows the story of an African-American man who travels across America in the 1950s in search of his missing father....
