Microsoft is prepping a bumper April for Xbox Game Pass, with subscribers set to gain access to Monster Hunter World, Life is Strange 2: Episode 2, Prey, Resident Evil 5, and The Golf Club 2 over the next few weeks.

PlayStation owners can finally change their PSN Online ID - allowing you to at last get rid of that awful name you gave yourself when you first signed up years ago.

This week, a series of gifs enticed me to take a look at Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, a game that looks like what might happen if the cast of Morph decided to start doing medieval reenactments. Amusing as it looked with its googly eyes and shonky physics, I'll admit I came to it with a hefty dose of scepticism - the term simulator often being synonymous with 'a bit rubbish'.

Sea of Thieves is, I think, a phenomenal story generator - and excels in delivering the kinds of unpredictable encounters that can so frequently turn a routine play session into a genuinely unforgettable one.

As someone who ordinarily only tolerates Sea of Thieves' PvP side, rather than proactively engages in it (although, to be clear, I will send you to Davy Jones' Locker if you try and mess with my sloop), I was a little apprehensive when Rare first announced that its multiplayer pirate extravaganza would be getting a new competitive-focussed standalone mode.

For a limited time last night, Destiny 2 players on PC and Xbox One could get their paws on one of the best-looking guns in the game: Wavesplitter.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is getting a stage builder mode, according to the blurry corner of a new Nintendo trailer.

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered launches on 14th May, Rebellion has announced. That's on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

I loved Watch Dogs 2, less so for the characters and story, more for its wonderful virtual recreation of San Francisco and the way you were able to casually explore it - and even work within it. Role-playing as a cab driver in the city was one of the highlights for me.

You might have glimpsed it at the end of the EGX Rezzed Guild Wars 2 developer session, but here it is in full: the game's second flying mount, a dragon, the Skyscale.

A real-life American politician has been banned from Eve Online for alleged corruption.

You can unlock all the in-game rewards in Resident Evil 2 if you pay £4 - including infinite ammo weapons.

Across its various incarnations, the Trials franchise has always been about putting obstacles in your path and seeing how well you can overcome them (with the help of an over-revved dirtbike). The latest and rather magnificent instalment Trials Rising continues this fine tradition but adds a globetrotting twist, casting players as a cross between Barry Sheene and Phileas Fogg by tasking them with riding fairly roughshod over some famous international landmarks.

At what point do you release that Three Fields Entertainment really has delivered a worthy homage to the classic Burnout? For me, it's really simple - it's all about the boost drift. An arcade racing game is nothing without its drift mechanic, and in Dangerous Driving it's the key to sustaining maximum velocity - essential not just for the racing and not just for the boost chains (or heat waves, as they're now known) but also in maintaining ramming speed for those classic Takedowns. And yes, the good news is that Dangerous Driving doesn't just nail sublime handling, the gladiatorial racing combat works beautifully too.

I love Civilization 6, but sometimes I pine for the art style of its equally wonderful predecessor, Civilization 5. Civilization 6's cartoony vibe is all well and good, but when you've got an entire civilisation's worth of people resting on your every decision, a serious look is sometimes required.

Kitana is a playable character in Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm has confirmed.

Borderlands 3 gives each co-op player their own discrete loot stream, Gearbox has revealed.

There's a lot that the new Borderlands: Game of the Year remaster gets right. Yes, there are clear and obvious upgrades over the original release, not least the provision for higher quality textures that ensure that the game holds up well on a modern 4K display. Then there are the enhanced options and quality of life improvements and the fact that PC owners of the original decade-old release get the new version for free - but just how good are the various console ports?

Accessibility and difficulty options are no threat to artistic vision, video game developers have said.

Treyarch has finally released the Black Ops 4 Combat Record feature - but not in the game itself.

Update (April 6th): It's the final day of EGX Rezzed 2019! That means all of Eurogamer's sessions have come and gone - but don't fret, you can watch (or in the case of our podcast, listen) back to them below. Thanks to everyone who attended!

What another lovely EGX Rezzed that was! A packed schedule saw John Romero discuss his life in games, the teams behind Sea of Thieves, Guild Wars 2 and Dreams present their games on stage and Digital Foundry delve into a gaming world record.

Video game worlds are facades, and sometimes we catch a glimpse of what's beyond. Recently, while exploring one of the intricate levels of Dusk, I somehow managed to slip through the cracks and found myself on the other side of the invisible partition that upholds the illusion of coherent space. I'd entered a world of broken, gravity-defying architecture, and there in the middle of the level had opened a pit that revealed a vast grey void beneath my feet. Close by, there was an exasperated message on the ground: "YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, GO AWAY."

The Division 2's Tidal Basin update seems to have disrupted the drop rates for signature weapon ammo.

Apex Legends PC cheaters are reporting that developer Respawn has banned them with hardware ID bans.

"Playing Hard", a docu-movie that went behind-the-scenes as Ubisoft developed For Honor, has come to Netflix in the UK.

Microsoft has acknowledged it "must do better" following reports of a 90-page internal email chain in which many female employees detailed sexual discrimination in the workplace.

Respawn has confirmed that while early-quit penalties are coming to Apex Legends, the feature shouldn't have gone live with Update 1.1.

After a relatively lacklustre remastering effort with Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, Ubisoft has returned with Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered, an altogether more interesting effort. It's more than just a port of the PC version of the original release, with improvements to art asset quality, radically revamped lighting and a lot of tweaks to game mechanics. It's out now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC but it's a shame that we have to wait until next month for the Switch version - the first time we've seen a mainline AC title arrive in handheld form.

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition players are reporting issues with matchmaking.
