This episode opens with a sequence of two women running through a snowy forest while being chased. When one of them is shot, we learn just who they are: Steph, the now-eyepatched future Overseer of Vault 33, and a woman we learn to be her mother. Her mother is shot, and she tells Steph to do whatever it takes to make it to America no matter who stands in her way. "They're not humans," she says. "They're Americans."

Grand Theft Auto 6 may not get a physical version at launch and instead stick to a digital release initially. Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games are said to be planning on holding off on GTA 6's physical release to avoid early leaks and spoilers. The open world crime title is set to come out on November 19, 2026, but Take-Two has not yet detailed the editions and versions that will be available at launch.

Streetdog BMX isn't trying to revive the glory days of BMX games, nor is it chasing mass appeal. It's a deliberately fiddly, skill-focused take on BMX riding, aimed squarely at players who enjoy mastery more than spectacle. And like real-life riding, that first crash is the key moment - because you're either going to toss the fucking thing in the trash, or grind like a madman and try again.

Like those games, it takes place in an open-world Gotham with Bruce gliding and grappling around as he finds thugs to beat up and Riddler puzzles to solve. When he's on the ground, the mini-figure Batman rides around on a motorcycle and in the Batmobile, and in combat, he throws almost rhythmic punches, kicks, and parries like he does in the games.

It's no secret that with successes like the Emmy nominated series The Last of Us, video games are being adapted in the entertainment industry at a rapid pace. Bella Ramsey portrayed the iconic Ellie on the show, one of the most influential queer characters in video game history. Although showrunner Craig Mazin recently ruled out a spin-off for the iconic characters, Bill and Frank, in the The Last of Us series, there are many more queer characters in video games

but thanks to the opening of Pokemon's first ever amusement park on 5 February, this year, they are likely to come earlier. Unlike the rollercoaster-filled thrills of Tokyo Disney Sea or Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, PokePark Kanto is essentially a forest populated by models of the creatures from the perennially popular games. Nestled in the quiet Tokyo suburb of Inagi, half an hour from the city centre, the park is a walkable forest with more than 600 Pokemonin it.

As another week rolls in, The Division 2 vendors reshuffle their items to bring us a new catalog that will remain available for seven days. These vendor NPCs are located at the civilian settlements across the DC, New York, and Brooklyn maps. Strategic Homeland Division (SHD) Agents can utilize E-Credits, Countdown Acquisition, and Dark Zone Resources to make purchases at these shops. This article lists all the items available at The Division 2 vendors from January 27, 2026 to February 3, 2026.

Double Fine has been on a tear with its smaller projects lately. The popular indie game developer is following up last year's atmospheric adventure game with a new title in a totally different direction. As its Double Fine founder Tim Schaefer attempted to say five times fast during today's Xbox Developer Direct, is an "online multiplayer pottery party brawler" that boasts exactly the sort of colorful, clever fun that fans have come to expect from the studio.

TR-49 is analogy rendered in four dimensions. On a surface level, it's a game about sorting through an archive of written works and commentary that has you identifying dozens of excerpts and documents, all with the aim of destroying a particular work. Beneath the surface, however, this is a piece of art that speaks viciously and satirically to so much of our reality.

It only seems right that cloud gaming should welcome virtual pilots, and that's definitely now the case if GeForce Now is your streaming platform of choice. One of the most frequently requested features from its community according to NVIDIA, flight control support has now been added to its GeForce Now offering, meaning you can live your Top Gun fantasies without worrying about your rig buckling under the pressure.

If you've grown up with Pokémon , you have no doubt dreamt of waking up in the universe. That's a pipe dream, but if you can make it to Tokyo, you can get a facsimile of this experience at PokéPark Kanto, a new theme park opening on February 5. In the months since The Pokémon Company announced the attraction, we've mostly only seen mock-ups of what the park was going to look like .

Look, we always planned for a, you know, a surprise release,

While the video game industry is now larger than the movie and music businesses combined, it began with a simple game created as a training project. Al Alcorn, Atari's first engineer and the inventor of Pong, will talk about the early history of Atari and how Pong launched the video game industry at a Feb. 9 Speaker Night at the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum.

From the trailer alone, there are quite a few other noticeable differences from the previous games, like the lack of character names on the combat screen, as well as the whopping eight party members in combat at once. In previous games, while you have a full party of eight as the name would imply, you'd only select four of them to actually fight at once.

There's a lot about Perfect Tides: Station to Station 's Mara that I find relatable. Like me, she's recently moved to a place simply called "the City" from the middle of nowhere, and like me, she's an avid writer. But these biographical details aren't the important thing; it's the way she's painted by the game's incredibly sharp writing where I start to feel uncomfortably seen.

Democratic members of the US Congress, as part of the Congressional Labor Caucus, penned a letter asking the Federal Trade Commission to "thoroughly review" the $55 billion acquisition of EA. EA confirmed the sale to the Public Investment Fund, or the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, Silver Lake and Affinity Partners in September, but the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027. Before the official change of ownership, the 46 House Democrats who signed the letter to the FTC are calling for more scrutiny into the impacts of the deal.

Now, the developer has revealed how it plans to use some of that time, and the first port of call is Battlefield Labs. As discussed in the initial delay message, BF Studios wants the community's involvement earlier and more consistently in the development of future content. This includes Season 2, of course, and a big component of what it's bringing to the game is headed to Labs.

In light of the above facts, I'm being forced to take immediate action. I'm making unavailable all versions of the mods and also all the posts related to the wonderful work we have done here together for years, so that there will be no ground for further claims,
