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

Fallout 76 players have roundly criticised Bethesda's plan to add Repair Kits to the game, saying it breaks a prior promise not to include pay-to-win elements.

Mortal Kombat 11 has a Kollector - yes, Kollector with a K because this is Mortal Kombat of course.

Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all being investigated by the UK government's Competition and Markets Authority watchdog, to establish, among other things, whether the auto-renewal terms of Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus, and Nintendo Switch Online are "unfair".

There's a wonderful dungeon in Twilight Princess which is nothing like a dungeon really. It's like staying at someone's house - an old and very comfortable house, up high in the mountains, nestled in the snow. My memory of this place is quite vague by this point. I think it might have been where I picked up the ball and chain, and I don't recall it being unnaturally devious or punishing as Zelda dungeons go. What I really remember, though, is that there were friendly, people-ish things bustling about as I explored, and there was soup on the boil.

Team Meat has announced that its upcoming Super Meat Boy Forever will no longer make its originally anticipated April 2019 release window, but says it "doesn't expect too long of a delay".

YouTube channel TheRankings has made an incredible video showing the 15 most popular graphics cards over time, based on data from the Steam Hardware Survey. The animation packs fifteen years of history - from 2004 to 2019 - into a brief three minute video that's well worth watching - whether you're a long-time PC gamer looking for a hit of nostalgia or a relative newcomer seeking a bit of perspective.

In what is no doubt its final stop, the original Darksiders returns one last time on Nintendo Switch. Available across many platforms past and present, Darksiders is a wonderful action game in the style of The Legend of Zelda or even Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, albeit with post-apocalyptic trimmings. There are puzzles, dungeons, combat and more packed in here and of the three games in the series, it remains my favorite. So how does it fare on Switch? The results are pleasantly surprising.

Oh dear loot shooters, how you've grown. We've had two Destiny games, two Divisions from Tom Clancy, Warframe is still going strong and even BioWare's had a nibble with the divisive Anthem. Nowadays this is a sub-genre with well-defined rituals, core loops, challenges and, of course, highly involved loot systems.

I'm delighted to announce that applications are open for Eurogamer's third Summer Internship! Once again, we're looking for a Reporter Intern to join us in a paid position in our Brighton office for three months - ideally from late June through to late September.

Developer IronOak Games' delightful tabletop-RPG-meets-digital-board-game For The King is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Switch this May.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be fully playable in virtual reality via the soon-to-be-released Labo VR kit later this month - and it'll be joined by Super Mario Odyssey, which is getting its own, smaller VR mode.

The crucial difference between Rolando, which has just been re-released on the App Store, and LocoRoco, a game that Rolando is frequently confused with, is one of texture. LocoRoco is about squishy things. The Rolandos, meanwhile, are rigid. I imagine them as little balls of tough rubber, rolling around the game's jaunty marble mazes with a bit of weight to them as well as a bit of bounce.

Ahead of Starlink: Battle For Atlas' big free Spring update, coming later this month, Ubisoft has confirmed that it won't be releasing any more physical toys for the game, due to lower-than-expected sales.

Following a damning report on BioWare's company culture earlier this week, studio general manager Casey Hudson has written to all staff acknowledging the problems outlined in the article, promising that "it's our top priority to continue working to solve them".

Microsoft says it will be increasing the price of Xbox Live Gold subscriptions in the UK, starting next month.

If you've been enjoying your time with PSVR but remain disappointed by the lack of foot-based motion-control peripherals with which to wobble and jiggle your way to success, you might be interested to learn more about the officially-licensed 3dRudder, coming to PS4 in June.

UPDATE: Respawn has issued a fix for today's Apex Legends 1.1 update, remedying instances where players were logging on to discover all their account progress seemingly gone.

The Ben and Dan Adventures will continue this summer, on PC and consoles, in a brand new game called Lair of the Clockwork God.

The world is under threat in plenty of video games. In Hob, the world is broken, a vast mechanism that has been gummed up and misaligned. Your job is to save it by fixing it, wielding a sword that looks like a key and tinkering with locks and escapements and cogs and gears, realigning, repositioning, sliding crucial pieces back into place.

I've never been to Stainless Games' office, situated right in the centre of the Isle of Wight, but I've always imagined they're just bouncing around to Reef and the Spin Doctors while buzzing on Sunny D and Cheese Strings as their Global Hypercolour t-shirts begin to go a funny purple from all that activity. There's nowt more 90s than their games, basically, and that's as true as ever even after the studio has moved on from the Carmageddon series that made its name.

Before last week, I'd never been to New York but, as I wandered its streets and stared at its sights, it certainly felt like I had. New York is a city I've visited countless times in video games past. It's a place I associate with characters like Max Payne, the Ninja Turtles and the Ghostbusters. Years of dreaming and watching and then suddenly, after a relatively short flight, I was there, in glorious, real-world 3D, recognising locations I'd only ever experienced before on the flat screen of a monitor.

Three more NES games are coming to Switch this month as part of Nintendo's online subscription service, with Punch-Out!!, Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, and Star Solider all confirmed for release on April 10th.

It's been five months since Battlefield 5 first emerged on store shelves, but one thing that's been conspicuously absent ever since is premium currency. This will not be the case for much longer, as Battlefield 5 is finally introducing paid currency tomorrow.

Apologies for being slow to this - it's partly because I still can't believe it's real. Some 16 years after the last proper game, an R-Type has been announced, courtesy of Granzella - a developer composed of various alumni of Irem, the developer behind the original and much-loved side-scrolling shmup series.

Nintendo's Switch is famously backwards when it comes to online support. The online service is propped up by a bare-bones mobile app, providing a cumbersome solution to the concept of in-game chat which is supported natively on other consoles.
