You can obtain all of a planet's survey data in Starfield if you find an abandoned research tower.

Starfield shipped on PC simultaneously with Xbox consoles and let's kick off by saying that the enhancements available, the scope for superior performance and the range of user-generated mods combine to make this the best way to play it, hardware permitting. That's not to say that this is a great PC version, however, but all the critiques laid out on this page should be viewed through that lens. Even so, it's clear that there are many issues that need to be addressed to get the game into shape.

Lies of P's full achievement list has reportedly leaked online.

Journalist and radio host Louise Blain has joined Blumhouse Games as its creative lead.

RuneScape developer Jagex is removing controversial pay-to-win aspects of its recently launched Hero Pass following an outcry from the game's community.

The arrival of any highly anticipated console game brings with it a staggering level of expectation, especially when it's a first-party exclusive - like Bethesda Game Studios' Starfield. Looking back at the various pre-launch controversies, one of the biggest was the decision to cap the game at 30 frames per second when the majority of games released on Xbox Series X are attempting to target 60fps. With the final game in our hands then, the question is this: what are the chances of a performance mode on Microsoft's most powerful console? It's the first order of business in a DF Direct Special you'll see embedded a paragraph or two under these words.

My general feeling on racing games is that if I have to brake, I'm not interested. I realise this doesn't exactly comply in real life, but then I'd rather drive an actual car than a simulation. Yet cartoon fantasy racing? Drifting? Looping courses? Banana throwing? I'm in.

Starfield officially launched out of early access on Wednesday, and so far, it seems to be the most bug-free game Bethesda has released.

Bethesda has discussed its decision not to include ground vehicles in Starfield - at least, not at the game's launch.

Starfield players are already having a lot of fun designing ships, but one player has managed to create the ultimate ship. It's just ugly as hell.

"Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of high school stories," Alexis writes in the review of our latest Game of the Week. "Ones created by adults to navel gaze about their forgotten youth and project old regrets onto a fresh canvas, and ones created by actual teenagers. Goodbye Volcano High is one of the first times I've been able to fully inhabit a high school narrative without feeling the cynical, calculating spectre of a grown writer in every quip or interaction..."

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: mechs, arcade classics, and a confused trip to Mario Land.

FPS Chess is, as its name suggests, chess, with a first-person twist. Then again, the title also raises a good question: is chess already played in first person? When we sit down to a match, are we assuming the role of a general, surveying the carved pastures of war? Or are we narrators at a third-person remove, telling the story of each piece, as it slides toward ruin or triumph?

Do you remember 1995's 16-bit Disney platformer Gargoyles? Because I certainly don't, and I'm nearly as old as an actual gargoyle. But for those that do, and that hold the game (and indeed the cartoon it was based on) in high regard, Disney has confirmed its previously announced remaster will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on 19th October.

Back in June, reports began circlating that Google, fresh off its Stadia streaming flop, was looking to incorporate playable online games into YouTube. Well, we can now sling those reports onto the 'correct' pile; testing for the tech giant new feature is officially underway.

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss today's report by Eurogamer that Nintendo is showing Switch 2 tech demos to developers, including at Gamescom last month. The new hardware from the Big N now feels closer than ever - but when exactly will it arrive?

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has shed more light on Charles Martinet's new role as a Mario Ambassador.

The owner of E3, the video game industry's most important annual showcase, has confirmed it currently has no organiser or location to hold the show in 2024.

Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the most highly acclaimed games of the year, marrying the best of video games with the complexity and nuance of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. It's unashamedly a PC-centric title, with a dense interface and controls best suited for a computer keyboard so it's not totally clear how well the game will fare on PS5. Adding to potential controller quirks, the PC build has rather problematic performance in a handful of areas later in the game, which threaten to disrupt the PS5 and its relatively meagre CPU. Happily, PlayStation 5 manages to deliver a creditable rendition of the game, but the now legendary Act Three continues to humble CPU performance - perhaps more than we anticipated going in.

I stumbled upon the cabaret club by chance. I was given limited time to play Like A Dragon Gaiden and told to explore thoroughly. But I didn't expect to stumble upon this.
