Obsidian was Xbox's undisputed MVP of 2025. Playground could be stepping up to the plate this year, if Fable and FH6 actually release in 2026.

I have become gamer royalty.

The mouse that built esports is back. Razer’s Boomslang Anniversary Edition revives a legend with modern flair. #Gaming #Razer buff.ly/MPLKTs1

Minecraft's Mounts of Mayhem update has finally arrived. Players can now fight with a spear while mounted, ride a nautilus, and much more. www.windowscentral.com/gaming/minec...

I want to know, and you can tell me... How many video games have you completed? Not simply played — I mean stories finished and credits rolled.

Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. seems like a bad idea. Disney 2.0.

Keeper got an update that brings a new Noir mode, accessibility features, and more.

No Spotify Wrapped for me this year. Happily moved to TIDAL in January.

I've not been able to get into Cronos: The New Dawn for some reason, so I'm returning it to the backlog for now.

We went hands-on with Razer's Counter-Strike 2 Collection, featuring an iconic gold-and-red "Dragon Lore" design across its best gear. Is it the ultimate CS2 flex for your desktop?

Cyber Monday is drawing to a close, but these are the 12 best deals (that are still live) that we recommend most at Best Buy.

I'm torn on getting a Meta Quest 3S while it's on sale. It might help me be more active at home.

I am reinstalling VALORANT on my PC. Am I making a mistake?

I recently wrapped up Winter Burrow, a recent day-one Xbox Game Pass arrival that challenges you to survive a wintry forest as a wayward mouse. It's cute! 🐭

Cronos: The New Dawn is really good so far. All the best parts of Resident Evil and Alien: Isolation.

Thanks @windowscentral.com and @boddyzachary.bsky.social for the interview! One of Xbox Game Pass' biggest supporters is going cosmic horror with its first sequel, and we just got our first look: windowscentral.com/gaming/echo-... #EchoGeneration2 #XboxPartnerPreview

I gave ARC Raiders 2 hours and uninstalled. I really need to stop trying multiplayer games.

I hope Dispatch comes to Xbox when all the episodes are released.

I did something out of RPG character in The Outer Worlds 2 and it bit me in the ass three hours later. I regret so much what I can't take back now, but this is also peak RPG.

"I've been using HP's OmniBook 5 14 (G1q), and my first impressions have been confirmed.. this is my top value Windows laptop of 2025." @boddyzachary.bsky.social has found their new favorite budget laptop! ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

Words cannot adequately describe the degree to which I loathe generative AI.

I wish I could play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for the first time again.

I'm quite happy I decided to just give up on Battlefield 6 and Black Ops 7. There are too many awesome games coming out for me to worry about live service stuff.

Will Forza Horizon 6 be the best open-world racer ever? Xbox has finally unveiled FH6, and @boddyzachary.bsky.social already has a lot of thoughts on this upcoming entry as it moves its setting to Japan.

Happy Hollow Knight: Silksong day to all who celebrate. I will be playing Indiana Jones instead.

I want to play Helldivers 2 and Battlefield 6, but sadly don't think I have time to commit to both.

Forza Motorsport (2023) isn't dead, but it is dying... Slowly, over the next few months.

Battlefield 6 is pretty damn great. Reminds me of all the fun I had with Battlefield 4.

The new Razer BlackShark V3 Pro headset shows that we can get some incredible gear when companies actually listen to us.

The ASUS ROG Azoth X is a premium, wireless 75% gaming keyboard that's significantly better than I honestly expected, even if it's far from perfect in some ways.

I hope the Battlefield 6 open beta is good because I would love for a game to properly take the fight to Call of Duty.

Razer's new DeathAdder V4 Pro wireless gaming mouse is an astounding feat of engineering, and I can appreciate that even if I won't be keeping it around. It's still one of the absolute best you can buy.

I grew up with Skyrim, but I finally get what people have been saying. Oblivion (Remastered, at least) is better.

Now that we're officially over halfway into 2025, @boddyzachary.bsky.social is looking back at their favorite tech reviewed to date. Here are the top 10 laptops, accessories, and more: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/ive...

I've already reviewed a LOT of tech and games this year, so I spent a few hours summarizing my favorites of 2025. www.windowscentral.com/hardware/ive...

I've believed in the potential of Android gaming handhelds for years, but had to make the best one myself with a tiny tablet and mobile controller. www.windowscentral.com/hardware/han...

It isn't technically a "gaming keyboard," but the Keychron K8 HE proves it's still one of the best in our review. Another reminder that "gaming" doesn't mean the same thing anymore.

Developing: King and ZeniMax Media, two of the subsidiaries of Microsoft Gaming, are being hit with layoffs.

Xbox project "Everwild" seems to have been cancelled, with other gaming projects set to potentially follow. Xbox hardware has avoided the brunt of the cuts at Microsoft Gaming.

The new SteelSeries Rival 3 (Gen 2) Wireless is an entry-level, wireless gaming mouse that's cheap, colorful, and close to greatness. Here's what we think of it.

ASUS updated the ROG Zephyrus G14, its compact 14-inch gaming laptop, with new hardware for 2025. It's @boddyzachary.bsky.social's most anticipated gaming laptop of 2025, and they finally got their hands on it! ⬇️

The "EMEET PIXY" squeezes two sizeable camera sensors into its gimbal-tracking frame to provide great image quality and a full suite of features. Just be aware of its weaknesses for now.

The latest Razer Blade 14 is an incredible laptop, and it's also the company's best seller. Starting at $2,300, though, who should actually buy this ultra-premium gaming laptop?

I've been using the XREAL One Pro AR glasses, and they're hands-down the absolute best in the category right now. It's the future, but is it worth the cost?

I already knew Kojima was a Sleep Token fan, but apparently he even got them on the Death Stranding 2 soundtrack and... The first Death Stranding just moved up my backlog, I think.

The greatest strength of Blue Prince in its early hours is the random element, but it also makes everything after hour ~15+ a drag, because you're pursuing specific mysteries dependent on total luck. This game is incredible, but I already know it's no GotY material for me.

The Razer Blade 14 (2025) wraps a new generation of AMD and NVIDIA hardware in a thinner, lighter chassis. It's a fantastic gaming laptop with lots of charm.

Razer has dropped the "Phantom Green Collection" 👀 It's a reimagining of some of its best PC gaming accessories with sleek, translucent green designs that @boddyzachary.bsky.social loves.
