FromSoftware has released a new patch for Elden Ring, version 1.14, which adjusts the final boss of Shadow of the Erdtree to make it easier.

Just days after pledging a fix for Star Wars Outlaws' "unfair" and "incredibly punishing" insta-fail stealth sequences, Ubisoft has released a brand-new patch doing just that - and it introduces a bunch of other features, including cross-progression support, too.

Back in July, Microsoft announced sweeping changes to Xbox Game Pass that would see day one releases being removed as a benefit to subscribers of the service's revised basic tier. That new tier - known as Game Pass Standard - is now live, but it turns out subscribers are missing out on more than just new releases: Microsoft has pulled access to over 40 previously available games, including major titles like Starfield, Hellblade 2, and Diablo 4.

Following Ubisoft's decision to shut down The Crew's servers earlier this year - a move made even more controversial when it began revoking players' licensing to the game - the publisher has announced plans to prevent other entries in the open-world racing series from suffering a similar fate by retroactively introducing offline modes.

And ahead of that, there's a major new patch adding improved controller support and more.

The new Glorious GMMK 3 line of keyboards was described to me as 'the ship of Theseus' of keyboards, or as I prefer, the 'Trigger's broom'. The idea is a mechanical keyboard that can grow and change with you, with everything from switches and keycaps to sound dampening foam and chassis materials being infinitely interchangeable.

PlayStation is currently riding high following the release of its adorable platformer Astro Bot. Unlike the God of Wars and The Last of Us' of this world, Astro Bot is a family focused title, suitable (and definitely enjoyable) for players young and old.

It's fair to say Astro Bot, Sony's latest PS5 exclusive, has captured the imagination of the Eurogamer team. It's a wonderful platformer, full of creativity, fun game design, and plenty of nostalgic cameo bots, described by Christian Donlan as "a wildly generous delight" in our Eurogamer Astro Bot review.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is out today, pitting you as a defender of the Imperium against hordes of Tyranids and wiley Chaos Space Marine foes. The game has been well-received by all accounts following its initial preview outing, but it also offers a bit of a curveball when it comes to the usual balance of power between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. With 30fps and 60fps modes on the table, what's the optimal way to play, how do PS5 and Series X compare to the PC version, and finally how does the Series S version fare?

Activision has confirmed there will be no campaign early access available for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Ex-Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Chris Deering does not believe recent layoffs across the games industry have been a result of corporate greed. Instead, workers who have lost their jobs should "drive an Uber" or "go to the beach for a year" until employment settles.

Towerborne was first revealed at last summer's Xbox Games Showcase, but little has been shared of the game since so you'd be forgiven for not being up to speed.

PlayStation's 30th anniversary celebrations kicked off last week - and in a somewhat unexpected way. Key art on the PlayStation Blog showed a range of Sony hardware old and new in the background and carefully tucked away was a console we hadn't seen before. Or rather, we had seen it before, but only via a sketch from billbil-kun. This looks to be our first look at PlayStation 5 Pro and now it's been confirmed that PlayStation lead system architect Mark Cerny has a technical presentation to give tomorrow. This should be our first indication of how Sony aims to position PS5 Pro and to justify its existence.
