It's an extraordinary state of affairs. CD Projekt Red has publicly admitted that the last-gen console versions of Cyberpunk 2077 have profound issues, that the scale of the technical issues facing the old machines was under-estimated, and that the game was released anyway. In both a public statement and an emergency investor call, the firm talks about improving the last-gen experience and sorting out crashes, glitches and bugs. A hotfix patch is already out, with another due within seven days, while more substantial patches are due in January and February.

The integration of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War into Warzone has begun with a 21GB patch out this morning.

Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston after the phantom punch is one of the most iconic images not only in the history of sport, but in the entire history of photography. It was taken by a man named Neil Leifer, who purchased his first camera with the money he made shining shoes on the streets of New York City. He only got his break in sports photography when he was working at the Giants' stadium as a wheelchair attendant, where he snuck onto the field in the 1958 NFL final posing as an official photographer, and ended up snapping the game-winning touchdown of what came to be known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played". He then became responsible for not just the Ali/Liston photograph, but also the Ali/Williams photograph, taken from the rafters, with Williams flat on the canvas. In many ways, he is the Muhammad Ali of sports photography.

Nintendo has wrapped up another of its Indie World showcases, firing out news of a fresh batch of titles - including a number of very welcome surprises - heading to Switch in the coming months.

Daisuke Amaya's work provides a fierce rebuttal to the accusation that 'they don't make 'em like they used to'. While most indie game-makers are content to appropriate the style of 80s video games as a celebratory, nostalgic wrapping for contemporary ideas, Amaya's games have a deeper sort of period authenticity.

The Cyberpunk 2077 refund situation is a mess today after developer CD Projekt's high-profile statement that suggested customers could get their money back.

Following on from a statement addressing the messy state of Cyberpunk 2077 on base Xbox One and PlayStation 4, CD Projekt yesterday held a board meeting to discuss the game's launch issues, revealing a little more about the development process immediately before the game's release. And, perhaps surprising no-one, it seems those last-gen versions came in pretty hot.

Treyarch has issued the long-awaited balance patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Google's I'm Feeling Lucky button has nothing to do with luck. It actually shows you the first search result, something it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out. I always thought that if I hit IFL on, say, 'dogs', I'd get a dog related webpage plucked randomly from the entire internet. Pretty stupid. But it's a compelling idea, right?

EA has offered $1.2bn to buy Codemasters.

Developer Housemarque is trying something a bit different with its new PS5-exclusive sci-fi shooter Returnal; while it's earlier output favoured small but pristinely formed arcade experiences - think Resogun and Nex Machina - this time, the developer is going in a decidedly more blockbuster direction, and the result of its toils, we now know, arrives on 19th March.

Resident Evil 8 appears to have suffered a damaging leak after screenshots and story details hit the internet over the weekend.

Super Mario Manga Mania is now available in English for the very first time.

There's no doubt about it - Cyberpunk 2077 is a demanding game, heavy on both CPU and GPU, while solid-state storage is also recommended for an optimal experience. It's perhaps a game geared towards the computers of the future, but in the here and now, it's still possible to get a fantastic PC experience - a process we hope to aid with our optimised settings. Put simply, we tested every graphics setting in Cyberpunk 2077, measured the performance cost and judged the overall quality you get at each preset. The idea here is straightforward: to retain everything that makes the game 'next-gen' from a visual perspective, but to deliver the best 'bang for the buck'.

Nintendo fans have hit back at a recent decision to block the soundtracks of a number of its biggest games, including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, and Mario Kart Wii, by trolling the company on social media.

By early 1985, Liverpool pop band Frankie Goes To Hollywood could do no wrong. Having just released the fourth cut from their debut album, Welcome To The Pleasuredome in March, and with a new album incoming, the future of this stylish and overtly sexual group seemed assured. While the world of videogames was grasping the promotional power of riding on another property's coat tails, a game focused on this most idiosyncratic of bands was hardly a natural fit. But that didn't appear to worry Manchester software house Ocean.

Medal of Honor VR surprise-launched a day early - and it's been met with negative reviews on Steam.

CD Projekt has issued a patch to Cyberpunk 2077 that modifies the braindances following an epilepsy warning.
