Reactions to Rockstar's recently announced PS4 and Switch port of open-world cowboy classic Red Dead Redemption have been mixed to say the least, with its £40/$50 USD price point coming in for particular criticism. However, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar parent company Take-Two, has now insisted that price is "commercially accurate".

If you've been eyeing up a Steam Deck but couldn't quite stretch to the full asking price, you might be interested to hear Valve has just launched its Certified Refurbished programme, offering up to 20% off refurbished models of its handheld gaming PC.

Following last week's official reveal of Dead by Daylight's Alien collaboration, developer Behaviour Interactive has shared further details, including an August release date and the entirely unsurprising confirmation that Sigourney Weaver's iconic action hero Ellen Ripley will feature as a Survivor, battling against a Xenomorph killer.

If you - and your other 800,000 chums - have successfully managed to drag yourself away from the stupendously entertaining Baldur's Gate 3 to read this, congratulations! You'll be thrilled to learn your penis is finally safe from prying eye thanks to developer Larian's second major hotfix release, which, along with winging its wangs away, comes with 300+ other fixes.

EA will be shutting down online services for Crysis 3, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space 2 later this year, rendering any online parts of the games unplayable.

The Baldur's Gate 3 launcher offers a choice between DirectX 11 and Vulkan - so which is the best in terms of performance and stability? The launcher defaults to DX11, while Larian support documents suggest Vulkan, so in the face of this conflicting advice there's only one thing to do: get testing. We trialled both options on a range of systems with Nvidia, Intel and AMD graphics card to tease out any differences and come up with some recommendations.

Microsoft has changed its popular £1/$1 monthly trial offer for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC, to now only grant access for 14 days.

The Red Dead Redemption community has had mixed reactions to yesterday's announcement from Rockstar Games - a port of the original Red Dead Redemption to PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

At the start of Gran Turismo, our hero, a young man named Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe), receives a package. Clearly, whatever is in the box is of Holy importance, as he actually kneels down to open it. Has he ordered a saintly relic, something to aid his evening prayers? A splinter of the True Cross, perhaps? He opens the lid, and we see the object of his worship: a steering wheel. Not an actual steering wheel, mind, but the plastic variety that you plug into a console to guide a racing game. For Jann, of course, drawing that distinction - between the virtual and the real - would be blasphemy.

Following the announcement of cloud game streaming in June, Sony has started to roll out a beta for the offering to PS Plus Premium subscribers.

Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian has explained why the rules of Dungeons and Dragons make any potential expansion to its hit PC role-player "very hard" to make.

For the last few days I've been trying to understand what it is exactly that Thronefall reminds me of. This is the follow-up game from the small team that made Islanders, a brilliant minimalist city builder that I properly love. Although Thronefall has its own city building elements and a breezy deftness when it comes to conjuring a sense of nature, it's not Islanders that keeps prodding at the edge of my memory as I play. Thronefall's a sort of tower defence game too, but it doesn't put me in mind of anything from that blessed lineage, either.

Devolver Digital has delayed a bunch of its games, and, Devolver being Devolver, it announced those delays in a special three-minute showcase - complete with inane Nindies-style banter - that also (presumably in the name of balance and order) featured a couple of games still on track to release this year. Want to know what landed in which pile? Then here we go.

Dark and Darker, the mediaeval extraction looter from Ironmace Games, has - after a turbulent few months and amid ongoing legal troubles - launched into early access, but not on Steam.

With a million sales to its name already, a lot of people are playing Remnant 2 right now, and developer Gunfire Games has confirmed its currently figuring out a way to give all of them the opportunity to play together, regardless of platform, through crossplay - meaning everybody's pool of potential co-op partners could soon get a whole lot bigger.

Activision has whisked back the curtain on this year's Call of Duty instalment, eliciting exactly zero gasps of surprise from anyone. As widely rumoured previously, it's titled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and it's releasing on 10th November.

Perhaps inevitably, Digital Foundry Direct Weekly returns once again with a new episode and it's fair to say that we have an exceptional line-up of topics and supporter questions this week. We've already posted an article about path-traced lighting coming to Skyrim, but what stood out to me this week was news about the discovery of a new exploit for PlayStation 5 - and it's already delivering 60fps upgrades for PS4 titles that never received any kind of official patch.

Rockstar Games has just announced that Red Dead Redemption is making its way on to newer consoles for the first time: PS4 and Switch.

Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando will be hosting a The Last of Us theme park ride, and actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson will reprise their roles as Joel and Ellie respectively for it.

A new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 at Evo 2023 revealed three returning characters joining the roster.

Pokémon Go's newly-introduced Showcases are one of my favourite additions to the game in years. They're local leaderboards, in a nutshell - a feature which first debuted in developer Niantic's now-canned NBA All-Stars - that let you show off specific Pokémon and win in-game rewards. What's really great about Showcases, though, is their smart design with a very low barrier to entry, meaning there's no need to meet other players, or cough up for premium items in order to get involved. This ease of taking part has ensured Showcases are a success, but has also led to something of a revelation for me, as I've looked at my local leaderboards and read dozens of player names I've never seen around my area before. These are people who aren't in my local raid groups and whose names don't regularly appear in gyms, but who are still clearly playing and enjoying the game every day. And the fact this is possible is a great sign for Pokémon Go's ongoing popularity in general, I think - that a very wide spectrum of people are playing and finding fun in the game, and doing so in different ways.

An all-new character will join Tekken 8: Azucena, a Peruvian MMA fighter.
