Epic has filed an injunction request claiming it will be booted from Apple's Developer Program - preventing it from developing and distributing software on Mac and iOS, potentially having dramatic implications for its Unreal Engine business - if it refuses to comply with Apple's request to remove its rule-breaking secondary payment option from Fortnite.

Sports Story, developer Sidebar Games' much-expanded follow-up to its delightful 2017 sporting RPG Golf Story, has been delayed indefinitely.

So often, Microsoft Flight Simulator feels like the future. I've been playing daily for pretty much a month now, and I still struggle on occasion to believe it's real; dozens of hours logged in the skies and the sight of the sun dipping over the horizon, some troublesome weather bubbling over a city or the hazy dawn seen from five miles high will still have me catching my breath, fumbling for the capture button or hurriedly getting out my phone to take a picture of the screen. As a technical achievement, what lead developer Asobo has conjured here is remarkable - in a year when we're seeing the introduction of powerful new consoles, I'd be surprised if either can yet produce a spectacle as eye-catching and awe-inspiring as something that can run without much grumbling on an aging and moderately specced PC.

Firewatch, developer Campo Santo's acclaimed 2014 first-person narrative mystery, is getting a second chance at getting the movie adaptation treatment.

PC players eagerly awaiting the arrival of Spelunky 2 now have a time frame to work to as they attempt to manage their mounting enthusiasm; according to developer Derek Yu, it'll be arriving "a few weeks after" the PlayStation 4 version.

Sony has announced Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a new online co-op multiplayer mode free for Ghost of Tsushima owners due out on PlayStation 4 in the autumn of 2020.

Marvel's Avengers wasn't the only beta being played at the weekend. No, the original Birdman was back for a pre-release trial of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2.

One of the brilliant things about Command & Conquered Remastered is how it remains faithful to the original real-time strategy classic while updating it in all the right areas.

The Animal Farm video game comes out this autumn, its developers have announced.

I think it's fair to say Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was a resounding success. EA's nostalgia-fuelled real-time strategy revival was a hit with fans and critics alike when it launched in June - and it saw big sales on Steam. But as its developers continue to support the game with balance updates, tweaks and mod support, the inevitable question is this: what's next for Command & Conquer?

Coral Castle Museum, a tourist attraction near Miami, is suing Fortnite maker Epic Games for trademark infringement and unfair competition.

The Marvel's Avengers beta hit PC this weekend, and brought with it the oppurtunity for fans to easily peer within its code.

I would love to know what happens to time and space inside Moose Life. Llamasoft's latest arcade shooter sets you between two planes - you can jump between them - while enemies advance from the horizon. The thing is: if you miss the enemies and they go past you, they soon reappear in front of you! It's a Pac-Man wraparound, fine, but you can also move forward and back as well as from side to side? So it's a little scrolling pocket of...now...surrounded by...?

The DLC characters continue for Dragon Ball FighterZ: the next one is Master Roshi.

After the colourful characters and political machinations of Total War: Three Kingdoms, Troy: A Total War Saga initially feels like a step backward. A thousand-year step backward, to be precise. Troy might sound like an awesome setting for a Total War game - the Iliad is the font from which all other war stories drink, after all. But the deeper into time Total War delves, the less it has to work with, and fielding armies of clubmen and slingers on the precipice of history doesn't exactly make for the most thrilling military encounters.

2K has confirmed the NBA 2K21 demo will release on 24th August 2020.

Dataminers have been digging into the files for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout - the new gun-free battle royale taking the world by storm - and discovered two themed crossover skins: one Portal-related, and the other inspired by My Friend Pedro.

The Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit remaster looks set to release in November 2020.

What if Sonic the Hedgehog was ported to Super NES? What would it look like? How would it play? Could an engine designed specifically for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis transfer gracefully to Nintendo's 16-bit machine - even without Blast Processing? After 29 years, we finally have some answers and we've seen and played a convincing SNES port of one of Sonic the Hedgehog's levels.

Resident Evil 7 is now the highest-selling game in the franchise.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore is getting a new character in 2021.

Fortnite is getting new DC-themed skins this November.

Lockdown saw remarkable sales of video games in the UK.

The modders behind Skywind have released its first gameplay demo in a year, showing off how an original Morrowind quest has been expanded and improved for this hotly-anticipated fan release.

Few games have an almost legendary reputation for monstering gaming hardware in the way that the original Crysis does - which made its recent release on Nintendo Switch all the more remarkable. Not only does it comfortably outperform the last-gen PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, it does so while bringing in enhanced effects found only on the latest CryEngine tech revisions. It's an impressive piece of work, but it's not quite perfect. Even today, a game that hails from 2007 can still cause problems for today's hardware - but I thought it might be fun to run Crysis Remastered on an overclocked Switch and in the process, I made some modifications to the config files to see just how far this rendition of CryEngine can be pushed.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Xbox One players are being forced to download a massive 66.3GB patch to fix the weapon graphics corruption bug that has been plaguing the game since the launch of Season 5.

If you're a space pilot (and I realise many of you are probably not) that likes to add your own personal touch, then Star Wars: Squadrons has you covered, bringing switchable components and customisation options that EA has now detailed more thoroughly in a new blog post.

As someone with no previous interest in the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, but who's ridiculously excited about its newest release - partly because I've recently discovered the laidback thrills of a simulated video game transportation (thanks American Truck Simulator) and partly because, well, I mean, just look at it - its latest trailer is quite the eye-opener.

UPDATE 5.38pm: After an afternoon of frustration for players eager to access the Marvel's Avengers beta for the first time, Square Enix says it has finally remedied issues preventing confirmation emails from being received during the registration process.
