The goal of Gambler's Table is to click a coin to flip it over. And then flip it again. And then again. And again. And again. When this coin lands with the money symbol facing up, you get a dollar. When it lands heads up, showing a skull, you get a skull point that can be used to buy hats.
"The industry faced a 'video game apocalypse' in 2023 and 2024 as things collapsed following the pandemic boom. Games were not always of high quality or were taking much longer to develop. For instance, the sequel to Killing Floor 2 took five years to make. I believe part of the reason for these game delays is remote work," Gibson explained.
Now, keep in mind, these are not official numbers as Xbox doesn't share sales data these days. Instead, Alinea use their own magic formulas and weird rituals to estimate the numbers. So far, the company's data has proven to be very accurate, but it is not without mistakes or controversies regarding its calculation methods.

Helldivers 2 prides itself on the concept of Managed Democracy, and in the latest example of crowdsourced decision-making, the game is asking players to choose a planet to blow up with a shiny new not-a-Death-Star superweapon.

From Software has released a new Nightreign Version 1.03.2 update that re-balances some of the weaker Nightfarers into more formidable heroes across all consoles and PC versions of the game. As laid out on the official page for Elden Ring, Guardians received a damage negation buff as well as an increase to the Guard Boost ability. Raiders now have faster attacks with the exception of jump attacks of dual-wield attacks. Additionally, Raiders' attack range is extended when using the Ultimate Art "Totem Stela."
For decades, competitive multiplayer games have existed, and the concept of a game that can't be "finished" has been around for about as long as games themselves. But when I talk about the games that undermine the very concept of a backlog, I'm not talking about online-only PVP titles like Arc Raiders or Team Fortress 2.
