The Finals will close on PS4 when Season 10 starts on March 18, 2026. This is being done so Embark can focus on current-generation hardware, the studio said, and anyone who wants to keep playing on PS4 will have to migrate to a different, newer console platform, or PC. All progress and purchases are connected to Embark ID accounts and will thus transfer to whatever platform people may migrate to.

Nowadays you'd be forgiven for thinking that the Nintendo Entertainment System was the only console available in the mid-to-late 1980s. If you were brought up in Nintendo's target markets of Japan and North America, this chunky contraption essentially was the only game in town the company had Mario after all, and its vice-like hold on third-party developers created a monopoly for major titles of the era.
It's been a year of massively anticipated indie sequels, from Citizen Sleeper 2 in January to Hades II and Hollow Knight: Silksong in September. Sneaking in before the end of the year, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is only entering Steam Early Access, but so far, it's building on the original Moonlighter in ways that have me captivated far more than I expected.
Few RPG scenarios are as alluring--or enduring--as the classic dungeon crawl. Ever since video games could emulate the pen-and-paper experience, there's been an endless gauntlet of shadowy mazes filled with loot and danger for gamers to explore. With big dungeon-focused releases like Diablo IV, Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, and Remnant 2 launching over the last few months, this feels like the perfect time to assemble a list of our favorite dungeon crawlers.
Creative director Jason Connell said in a conversation with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan that this feature was something he was "very excited about" when it was originally pitched years ago. He said the appeal was that players could be at one moment experiencing Atsu's story in the main timeline when things are dark and bleak and she's on her lone wolf quest, and the next they could travel back in time and feel the "warmth of her past" and understand what she's fighting for.

The iconic life simulator has over 100 bits of add-on DLC available from kits of household clutter to adding werewolves and vampires into the base game.
It doesn't really matter whether you are gaming on your Xbox, a gaming PC, or even an Android device. Microsoft's own Xbox Core controller is still the top-tier gaming controller to choose. And right now, it happens to be discounted down from its $65 price tag to just $40 when you grab the robot white version. That's a solid $15 off. That's enough to pick up a copy of Hollow Knight: Silksong with five bucks left over.
The latest event in Fortnite has an army of Homer Simpsons (Homers Simpson?) overrunning the cel-shaded Springfield Island map, with both an animated short episode and a real-life marketing stunt to promote the occasion. Titled "Multiplidiocy," the short (continuing from last week's donut-fueled event) depicts Bart and Lisa Simpson observing radioactive zombified versions of their dad meandering through the streets before Police Chief Clancy Wiggum mows several of them down with a couple of fancy Fortnite guns.

With SteamOS and Linux, Valve has polished away many of the things that make PC gaming unapproachable to some people. Want to set a frame limit to extend your Steam Deck's battery life? It's an easy-to-find option in the Performance overlay, not something you need to dig through multiple menus to find. Want to suspend a game? That's possible on SteamOS.
Last week, modders they had gotten custom servers online for the hero shooter over a year after Sony infamously shut the game down . While failed to gain the audience Sony was hoping for, it was really cool to think the game might get to live on thanks to fans' efforts, but it seems like Sony isn't as keen to let it come back.
