A Respawn dev has posted a brief message to assure Apex Legends fans who play on console they should not worry about upcoming crossplay plans detrimentally affecting matches.

Earlier this week, Media Molecule finally released its much anticipated VR update for Dreams and of course one of the first things made by the community was a remake of Beat Saber.

Wycombe Wanderers legend Adebayo Akinfenwa is now a FIFA 20 Ultimate Team hero card - and it's got an incredible 99 physicality.

Promising real-time strategy game Iron Harvest goes into beta next week.

It's fair to say that the response to Microsoft's gameplay reveal for Halo Infinite in its July 2020 Xbox Games Showcase has proven divisive - to the point where even mainstream media are reporting about the mixed reactions, but looking at the core rendering technologies on display in the gameplay slice, what can they tell us about the presentation? If the game stands accused of looking 'flat', why is that and what can be done about it?

It looks like one of the biggest Nintendo leaks ever has revealed prototypes for some of the company's classic games, including Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Kart and Star Fox 2.

Infinity Ward has issued a warning to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone cheaters, saying a fresh banwave is coming.

I love a good plot twist. I will always remember the moment in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic when I found out who my character really was, and always remember the moment in BioShock when I found out who the real baddie was. These things make a game, they sear it into our memories.

Epic will be hosting a second anti-racism screening in Fortnite's Party Royale mode - this time featuring Opus United's We The People x More Than A Vote - starting next Tuesday, 28th July.

Following yesterday's Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis reveal, there was some confusion over what, exactly, the newly announced experience was. Sega's muddled messaging managed to refer to it as a both "brand-new title" and an "update", but now the publisher has clarified it's a completely new, standalone online action-RPG coming to Xbox and PC next year.

Some of the key creators of beloved 90s Japanese role-playing game Suikoden are launching a spiritual successor on Kickstarter.

It's about time indeed: nearly 22 years after Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped released on the original PlayStation, the master of jorts returns. This time, though, it's Spyro Reignited Trilogy studio Toys For Bob handling it, and so as much as I'd personally have loved to see a gritty, blood-and-guts reboot from Naughty Dog, most of the questions for Crash 4 are going to be about authenticity and faithfulness to the originals.

Ronimo is one of those studios whose games are all thematically resonant. Not that they necessarily look anything alike. Swords and Soldiers offered cartoon vikings "super saucy" sausages. Awesomenauts was a blur of sharp sci-fi invention. And now Blightbound offers dark fantasy heroes and waves of hideous monsters. But move in closer and they all have something in common.

Samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has become Sony's fastest-selling original IP this console generation.

The new Superhot game does something a little different: it makes you wait hours after the ending before you can play the game again.

Let's get the obvious comparison out of the way, now that we can compare the summer's two great trailer showcases - separated this year by six weeks rather than the usual day and a half: Sony edged it.

Remember Anthem? Well, progress on BioWare's back-to-the-drawing-board retooling of the game is still being made.

Pokémon Go Fest, the game's big annual ticketed event, takes place this weekend - but developer Niantic is already looking to the future and what will come next.

It's hard to believe the Sonic the Hedgehog movie started out as the butt of all internet jokes: yet after revamping the art style and fixing Sonic's weirdly human teeth, the first movie was a success, making over $100m (£76.6m) in its opening weekend alone. And there's plenty more where that came from, as the sequel is arriving in 2022.

Fortnite's planned addition of cars has hit a road block, and will now take a little longer to roll out.

Okay, so, let's get this out of the way: I didn't think Halo Infinite looked fantastic. I don't think I'm alone in feeling that way. But I think it's interesting to dig into what's going on with this game, an Xbox Series X launch title but also a kind of cross-gen butter. I'll explain that in a bit.

You know by now what Remedy does, and what Remedy does well - and so, I reckon, do Remedy themselves. I don't think anyone looks to the Finnish developer of the likes of Max Payne, Alan Wake and Control looking for too much by way of nuance. Instead, you go to Remedy if you want to see things blow up, and blow up good.

UPDATE 24TH JULY: The trailer is a target render and not actual footage taken from the game. "The trailer demonstrates the level of graphics and atmosphere we are aiming to achieve on release," GSC Game World confirmed in a FAQ shared on Twitter.

Obsidian Entertainment has revealed Avowed, a brand new first-person RPG set in the studio's Pillars of Eternity world.

As a spoiled child who was gifted numerous consoles, I had my biggest demand in the spring of 2002: an Xbox. The black and green hues of the preceding "play more" marketing campaign convinced me I would pretty much die if I didn't end up getting one. (Spoiler: I'd have survived either way.) So, one family trip to Comet and over an astonishing £400 later, the bundle we chose had an extra controller, Halo, Max Payne and this thing called Mad Dash Racing.

Phantasy Star Online 2, Sega's long-running online action-RPG, is getting a major overhaul in the form of the freshly announced New Genesis, which is making its way to Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC at some point next year.
