PlayStation's shock decision to shut down its live-service flop Concord just a fortnight after launch has spurred players who did buy the game to try and reach its max level via an unusual method - before it all disappears.

Microsoft has again confirmed the delay to the Xbox release of Black Myth: Wukong is not due to "platform limitations".

Five of the Best is a weekly series for supporters of Eurogamer. It's a series that highlights some of the features in games that are often overlooked. It's also about having your say, so don't be shy, use the comments below and join in!

How long have you been a Eurogamer reader for? Let me put that another way: how many different Eurogamer editors do you remember? The site has been around for a long time now - 25 years this week - so there have been a few different sets of hands at the tiller. I ask because, well, I've gathered those editors together again for a very special anniversary podcast, which you can watch and listen to right now.

Battletech, Shadowrun, and The Lamplighters League developer Harebrained Schemes has announced its first project since parting ways with Paradox Interactive last year. It's a "post-cyberpunk survival horror RPG" called Graft and it's heading to PC.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 are both now set to launch for Xbox next year following "technical discussions" with Microsoft, after the platform was omitted from Capcom's original release announcements.

Following their initial reveal at Computex earlier this year, Intel has fully unveiled its new 'Lunar Lake' laptop CPUs at a press event in Berlin. The new Core Ultra 200V chips look impressive, offering significantly better performance at lower power levels than last year's first-gen Core Ultra 'Meteor Lake', with graphics and AI performance being areas of particular improvement. In fact, the new top-level chips are even fast enough for RT gaming at decent frame-rates - something I definitely didn't expect to be a focus of Intel's presentation!

Floundering 5v5 shooter Concord is set to go offline indefinitely this Friday - just two weeks after its PS5 and PC release - as Sony and Firewalk Studios admit "our initial launch didn't land".

"As the games industry continues to face complex challenges, we at Ballistic Moon are confronted with some difficult realities," reads a statement posted to LinkedIn. "It is with deep regret and a heavy heart that we must make the tough decision to significantly scale down our team to secure the future of our studio. This comes after our development of Until Dawn for PS5 and PC.

Ruthless villain, reluctant colleague and eventual friend and confidante, Miles Edgeworth has played many roles in Capcom's Ace Attorney series over the years, and with the fresh excavation of his Nintendo DS-era Investigations spin-offs, he can also add budding detective and even associate defence lawyer to the list as well. Indeed, it's a wonder that Phoenix Wright and the rest of the defence profession isn't surplus to requirements at this point, so watertight are Edgeworth's various case files here that any potential court trial would be over before it began.

Microsoft is kicking off the cooler months with its next batch of Xbox Game Pass titles.

As a huge fan of both developer Supermassive Games' interactive horror marathons and publisher Behaviour Interactive's asymmetrical multiplayer Dead by Daylight, I thought The Casting of Frank Stone might have been a daydream I conjured during yet another sleepless night. Unfortunately, it's actually a drawn-out multiverse adventure with pacing as lethargic as I am.

Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford has defended recent flops such as the Borderlands film and its Risk of Rain 2 DLC by comparing the company to one of the most highly-regarded bands of all time. Yes, The Beatles.

Hello! You might have spotted Eurogamer is 25 this week, and so alongside the first appearance of a few permanent micro-wrinkles and a sharp decline in people asking us for ID, we're marking the occasion with something special.

It takes a lot for an online shooter to stand out these days. Just ask Concord. But FragPunk's Shard Card system looks to be the twist needed to ensure it stands out above the rest.

Funcom - the developer behind Dune: Awakening - has admitted that getting the game ready for Microsoft's lower-powered Xbox Series S will be a "challenge".

Hopoo Games, the studio behind Risk of Rain and Deadbolt, has announced it will be joining Valve to work on game development.

Thatcher's Techbase - the Doom WAD that sees players descending to the Tenth Circle of Hell to thwart the return of "one of humanity's greatest threats" - has been yanked from Bethesda's new in-game mod browser after being reported for "real-world politics".

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has admitted he's made "the worst" decisions "passing" on some of gaming's biggest franchises over the years, including Bungie's Destiny and Harmonix's Guitar Hero.

It's hard not to talk about Sumerian Six without summoning the spirit of the sadly now defunct Mimimi Games. Sumerian Six might technically owe its existence to the real-time, sight-cone-dodging stealth-tactics classics of the 90s and early 2000s - think Commandos and Desperados - but Mimimi's wonderful genre refinements, seen in the brilliant likes of Shadow Tactics and Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, are in ample evidence as developer Artificer's rip-roaring, globe-trotting, Nazi-bashing pulp adventure unfolds. But for all its mechanical familiarity, Sumerian Six is - as I approach the seven-hour mark, at least - an absolute hoot, an inventive, richly conceived take on the genre that more than holds its own.

It's Eurogamer's 25th birthday this week, and to celebrate, we're going to play something like pass the parcel with you. We want you to share your favourite memory of Eurogamer in the comments below, then we'll randomly pick a person at the end of the week to be our winner. They will win a brand new Switch OLED: Mario Red Edition that's been kindly provided by Nintendo.

Another gigantic DF Direct Weekly arrives today (well, on Saturday if you're signed up to the DF Supporter Program) and amongst topics as diverse as the latest PS5 Pro rumours and Tom Morgan's impressions of MGS Delta and the Silent Hill 2 remake, we have our own thoughts on the Black Myth: Wukong Xbox drama. Why hasn't it appeared on Microsoft's consoles? Is there really some kind of PlayStation exclusivity deal? Is Series S the problem? Should we take developer statements about ongoing optimisation at face value? And what about the recent 'memory leak' story - can this really have put the Xbox version on indefinite hold (spoilers: no).

Rocksteady staff have told Eurogamer of redundancies at the studio, following the underperformance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

25 years ago this week, two brothers from Brighton helped set up a website about video games. They based the fledgling operation in their parents' converted garage and named it Eurogamer - a spin-off of a Quake 2 tournament they used to run, EuroQuake.

That ever growing pile of video game statue memorabilia is getting bigger.
