You'd be forgiven for forgetting about Crackdown 3, which came out just four months ago, but Microsoft hasn't. In fact, it's just released a hefty new update for the game that adds a fun wingsuit to the campaign.

Ever wondered what's underwater in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? One player has had a peek - and it's gorgeous.

The producer of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield has issued an impassioned message to fans following the backlash to the news the games won't support every single Pokémon species.

I kicked off Pride month by watching Booksmart, a charming and funny coming-of-age story that explores identity, sisterhood, and queerness. In my favorite scene, one of the protagonists has sex for the first time. She's drunk, nervous, and it's not just her first time getting laid - it's also her first time acting upon her attraction to women. It starts out fine, but then in the middle of it all, she pukes on her partner. Her partner screams in disgust, she runs out, and my best friend and I squirm in our seats from the worst case of secondhand-embarrassment we've ever had.

The US city of Indianapolis will host the very first Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Fan Festival.

The video games of the 90s, although not that old in the grand scheme of things, are a world away from the video games of today in many ways. One of those ways is diversity.

Tequila Works' new game Gylt was announced by Google as a Stadia exclusive. It says it in the title of the announcement trailer, embedded below, and in the video's description. But what kind of exclusive is it?

Last night, indie developers and publishers were up in arms at Valve's complicated and poorly-explained Steam Summer Sale Grand Prix event, which erroneously encouraged customers to delete games from their Steam wishlists.

As Google Stadia nears its November launch, answers about its business model are slowly coming into focus.

It's been a few weeks since the Xbox E3 briefing, which has just about given us enough time to calm down from the excitement of Keanu Reeves appearing onstage. The other big news from that conference, of course, surrounded Project Scarlett - Xbox's mysterious next-generation console, which we now know is arriving in Holiday 2020 with Halo Infinite. And we finally got to hear some official specs - although many of the details remain hazy.

The Switch port of Virtua Racing first appeared on the Japanese Nintendo eShop at the beginning of the March. It's now available in all key territories, so we thought we'd republish our existing coverage to remind you about what makes this conversion so great.

Empire of Sin is rightfully getting some buzz. You've probably already heard this is the game Brenda Romero "always wanted to make", who's said she's been biding her time on the idea "for 20 years". The result of Brenda's long-standing love of mobster games, XCOM, and Civilization, Empire of Sin's drawn comparisons with some of publisher Paradox Interactive's biggest names, as well as those big hitters of the entire genre, too.

Riot has enabled queue time throttling for auto-chess game Teamfight Tactics to help cope with extreme pressure on the company's servers at launch.

I loved Until Dawn until its last five minutes. A perfectly-pitched take on the teen horror genre, Supermassive's choose your own adventure tale had me hooked up to the very end... until a character I'd struggled to keep alive for hours succumbed within the final few seconds. To be fair, I messed up - something to do with the game's motion controls, I think. Clearly, four years later, I still care enough to be annoyed.

So, you want to get into Auto Chess games. ACs...Auto Battlers? Regardless of what you call them, these games have quickly become some of them most popular and exciting games out right now.

This year's E3 delivered some impressive new Switch software, but hopes that Nintendo would reveal its hotly rumoured hardware revision - or hardware revisions - proved fruitless. The eagerly anticipated new Switches failed to materialise, but they should be appearing in the not-too-distant future - and while we know nothing about physical form-factors, the silicon at the heart of the new hardware is starting to come into focus. The standard Tegra X1 found within Switch is evolving and the evidence exists to demonstrate that both the mooted Switch mini and Switch Pro are possible targets offering improved performance, better battery life - or perhaps even both.

Well, looks like someone's let the cat out the bag a little early. Apex Legends season 2 is kicking off next Tuesday, 2nd July, but two trailers have leaked ahead of their official reveal at 6pm today. The videos detail exactly what the upcoming changes in season 2 will be - and it seems like King's Canyon is getting a makeover. And also skydive emotes.

Pokémon Go's next Community Day event will feature the meme-worthy Mudkip, best known for its appearance on various internet sites.

Kratos might seem inextricable from God of War, but Sony Santa Monica considered dispensing with him early on in the PS4 reboot's development, fearing that his anti-heroism had become a liability. During an on-stage stage interview at Gamelab in Barcelona today, game director Cory Barlog discussed the game's change of direction and what almost got hacked out of the package along the way.

Three years ago I reviewed Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens and found it an oddly incomplete experience. The whole film was there, miniaturised into Lego form. There were extra missions too - further adventures from Disney's new franchise canon - included to pad it out. But it still felt a little too brief for a Lego game - experiences which, typically, cover a whole movie trilogy or more inside a single release.

"Fuck yeah we put a battle royale in Fallout 76," Bethesda co-studio director Tom Mustaine proudly proclaimed at the company's E3 conference earlier this month.

Here's a turn-up for the books: far from being contained to battle royale, PUBG Corp is branching out into narrative titles, as the company has today unveiled its new studio Striking Distance.

When former Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime left the company in April, he had worked at the studio he helped co-found for more than 28 years. Morhaime was at Blizzard before it was called Blizzard, when it was named Silicon & Synapse and when its employee count was three.

Valve has launched its annual Steam Summer Sale, with thousands of discounts now live.

The Sinking City is Frogwares' latest, and it's the team behind The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes series - a series that's been running since 2002 - most ambitious title to date. It tries to apply the dev's brand of detective gameplay to a sprawling open world setting, for one, making it the longest Frogwares game so far, while this time out it tackle another beloved piece of literature. And the Cthulhu mythos is important to many people because it represents fear itself.

The only problem with Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is that you can already play the original Age of Empires 2. Oh and you can also already play Age of Empires 2 HD, which tidied up the original's visuals and, according to its store page, brought in "improved AI, workshop support, multiplayer, Steamworks integration and more!" So if you're anything like me, that might've made you think twice.

It's fair to say the initial public reaction to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's gameplay was... subdued. In response to the 15 minute gameplay clip shown at EA Play before E3, fans said they felt underwhelmed by the combat, and expressed disappointment at what they considered to be bland and linear gameplay.
