The developer of the Just Cause series of games has hired the chief creator of its popular multiplayer mod.

UPDATE 11/7/16 10.30am: Yahoo News has owned up to using a Destiny screenshot in a serious science story about Saturn, and, somewhat bizarrely, it has done so in a fresh news story reporting on the fact its slip-up was originally reported on by Eurogamer.

Frontier has cancelled its own $100,000 Elite Dangerous tournament - upsetting some players who spent many hours preparing for it.

Long War Studios is back with a couple of new mods for XCOM 2, introducing laser weapons, four new classes and a reworking of the game's perk system.

I question how secret this particular secret agent truly is. There's the jetpack, for starters, boosting you out of a clear blue sky, thrusters sending forth bright orange flame. Then there are the machine guns, the mounted shotgun, the rocket launcher. And then there's the problem that, when I'm in the hot seat, I'll need to stop every fifteen minutes to be violently sick. How suave is that? Virtual reality jetpacking is about as easy on the stomach, it turns out, as the real thing probably is.

Greetings, Eurogamers. That wasn't too scary, right? A nice, gentle introduction to another weekly digest of Outside Xbox videos. No surprises or sudden loud noises. Not even an exclamation mark!

UPDATE 10th JULY: The blood reliquaries have been pulled from eBay. There's no trace of them nor any specific reason they were removed, although as Kotaku pointed out, selling blood is against eBay rules under the 'Human remains and body parts policy', which sounds wonderfully grisly.

Surround sound gaming headsets are nothing new, and the feature sets often look very similar. Support for multiple platforms is the norm, along with Dolby Digital and DTS support to get an authentic multi-channel experience - without the need for several speakers to be placed around the room.

You might have seen a video we uploaded earlier this week, in which we demonstrated how to create your very own rudimentary catapult in Breath of the Wild. All you need is a treasure chest, a metallic plank and a boulder, and you too can fling Link into the air and watch as he soars, very briefly, before then plummeting towards the hard, unforgiving earth waiting below.

Naked willy survival game Rust is changing in a big way. It's doing so via a new XP and levelling system, which may sound unremarkable but has a profound effect on how the game is played.

The first Steam Summer Sale without daily or flash deals was a resounding success, according to Steam Spy - so expect it to stay this way.

Announced just two months ago, Battlefield 1 is now available to select users in alpha form across all three major gaming platforms. In typical DICE fashion, what we have here feels like a genuine alpha test as opposed to a marketing demo so of course, you can expect some rough edges. We've spent time with the PC version already but, now that the console version is out in the wild, we've been able to put all three versions to the test. The results are certainly interesting.

Hello! Chris Donlan here. Simon Parkin and I recently attended a wonderful talk at Brighton's Catalyst Club, in which historian Mathew Homewood picked over some of the strangest sports in Sussex history. I think it's quite interesting to think of games as being related to this quirky lineage, and so I asked him to write a bit about bizarre and forgotten sports for Eurogamer. I really hope you enjoy it.

Evolve's player count has skyrocketed 15,930 per cent since it changed its payment model from a retail product to a free-to-play structure yesterday.

Earlier this year Harebrained Schemes' co-op action roguelike Necropolis was delayed on PC so that it could have a simultaneous launch on PS4 and Xbox One, as per an agreement with publisher Bandai Namco. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan and the console launch is still going to be several weeks after Necropolis comes to PC and Mac on 12th July.

First-person floating simulator Adr1ft is coming to PS4 in Europe and North America on 15th July.

Delightful co-op abomination Push Me Pull You is coming to PC, Mac and Linux on 14th July.

Earlier this year game developer Daniel Mullins released the deceptively titled cult classic Pony Island, a fourth wall-breaking horror comedy about the devil possessing your computer. Now, Mr. Mullins has announced his next project: a murder mystery called The Hex.

Gears of War, as a series, has just never appealed to me. Nothing personal Marcus Fenix, but although I can totally get behind a gun that can also be used to fell a tree, I just always thought those games looked kind of...grey. But hey, different strokes for different folks and all, and I do recognise and respect that the first Gears of War game was, for its time, a highly-polished cover-based shooter.

Oh it's so lovely to be back in wartime France. There's something reassuringly familiar about the stomping grounds of Battlefield 1's closed alpha, and the St. Quentin Scar map that's at the heart of it all: in those gentle French hills torn violently apart and in that bucolic village that's soon reduced to rubble there's something of Call of Duty 2's Carentan, and even if the clock's been wound back a few decades it's a little reminder of an era of first-person shooters that was thought lost.

We've heard a lot this week about how Counter-Strike gambling sites can rig their bets for high profile YouTubers.

UPDATE 8/7/16 3:32pm: Nvidia has just got in contact to reveal European and UK prices for the GTX 1060. We're looking at a base price of £239 for the card, translating into a 280 Euro price tag for those in France and Germany. Meanwhile, the Founders Edition card sees prices rise to £275/319 Euros. All prices include VAT.

This is an article about Inside's ending. As such, we will be spoiling it. All of it. Including details and bonus content you may have missed. You have been warned.

Some Kickstarter backers of the Recreated ZX Spectrum have yet to receive the nostalgia-fuelled retro keyboard - and the boss of the company behind it has been silent for months.

Piano wire? Check. Luxury leather gloves? They're packed and ready to go. Companion app? The modern hitman has got to consider all sorts of accessories as they track their mark now.

Red Dead Redemption fans have been poring over a map which apparently details the world of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption was my favourite game of the last console generation. With an eminently passable story and an exquisite open world, it's easily the best spaghetti western in video game history.

There are guns, and then there are big f***ing guns.

Once upon a time, Halo was the tale of a place. A tale of it, and a tale shaped by it. Installation 04's famous skybox - that pristine curl of oceans and meadows, rearing amid the stars - may be very obviously a flat backdrop, but it does create the impression of an underlying 3D continuity, the vague conviction, as in a Souls game, that you can pick out the site of a previous battle high above the skyline, winking through the atmospheric haze.

Turbine, the veteran Boston-based online game developer, has laid off staff for the third year in a row. The Boston-based studio created the well-regarded online role-playing games Dungeons & Dragons Online and The Lord of the Rings Online, but it has suffered since the launch of ill-fated DC Comics MOBA Infinite Crisis, and is now apparently turning its attention to mobile games - although LOTRO and DDO will be kept online.
