Xbox Mode is heading to Windows 11 in "select markets" starting in April to offer PC users a "distinctly Xbox experience." This is the same gamified version of the OS used on the ROG Xbox Ally handheld.

NEW: Sony no longer plans to release PlayStation games on PC, sources tell Bloomberg News, a major shift in strategy that sees the console maker returning to exclusivity after six years of flirting with multiplatform. Ghost of Yotei and Saros are not coming to PC. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This goes to all media in gaming, if you're unwilling to ask meaningful, respectful, important questions that your readers want to hear because you're concerned about protecting your access with the interviewee, you're doing the reader a disservice. Alot of guilty ppl crying foul right now.

First video of the day - my look at Resident Evil Requiem! The visuals are stunning, the best yet delivered by RE Engine, and the PS5 Pro version is, surprisingly, a gigantic leap over the others - more than we've ever seen. Switch 2 video coming later today as well! www.youtube.com/watch?v=I77_...

I typically avoid games with a card system, but Echo Generation 2 made it work for me. The demo alleviated any concerns I had about that one. Good job, Cococucumber.

Now, as much as I enjoyed what they showed/explained of Fable, I'm fairly certain it's going to rough on performance, even on PC. This is due to the detailed scripts they have for all the NPCs. This is the same issue Dragon's Dogma 2 ran into, it's going to kill CPU performance.

That’s exactly what I’ve wanted from Fable. Nothing more and nothing less.

@xbox.com I've had zero luck with email. Think you can help me regain access to the games I purchased on steam since after 2 years I suddenly cant play them? It demands a passkey & when I scan the QR code it just loops until I get an error.

Just because big tech invests billions in a thing does not make said thing an inevitable future.

Basically an easy mode. Which I'm not quite sure was necessary considering Normal mode wasn't really difficult and there was a Story mode I think that was available, but hey, I guess they wanna make it even more accessible.

The PS5 and PC versions of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will get the 'Streamlined Progression' features coming to the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S versions. These give players full HP and MP and let them deal 9,999 damage with each hit. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/final-f...

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

Frey: "You know what I don't want [ICE] focusing on? Hunting down a dad that just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12 hour shift who happens to be from Ecuador. That guy makes our city a better place."

Season 2 of Battlefield 6 has been delayed so it can be "further polished and refined", Battlefield Studios says. Season 1 will be extended by four weeks, with a Bonus Path and weekly challenges. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/season-...

Any fool who thinks he can replenish a talent pool that quickly doesn’t value his employees, has never worked in the trenches, and has no clue how to make an actual game studio run profitably long term.

I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly. I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Gonna have to start posting more and more over here cause…..my mental can only take so much.

Finally tried out the Pragmata demo. Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Combat is pretty unique and I can see how they can build off what they showed in the demo. I played it on PC at 4k DLSS Quality with FG on, and I got 120-150fps in gameplay and 75-90fps in full native 4k cutscenes.

This mfer was hard, but we got it done on NG+4. #expedition33

Hardware - Nintendo Switch 2 unit sales are trending 77% ahead the time-aligned sales of the original Nintendo Switch.

Couple fun US stats from Circana's PlayerPulse (n=5.1k): Battlefield 6 purchase intenders are 79% male, 47% aged 18-34, 55% play on PC, and 56% intend to also buy Black Ops 7. Black Ops 7 purchase intenders are 63% male, 32% aged 18-34, 47% play on PC, and 24% intend to also buy Battlefield 6.

Hyper enthusiast, price-insensitive players are really keeping things going, especially in the non f2p gaming space. According to Circana's Q3 2025 Future of Games, only 4% of US video game players buy a new game more often than once per month, with a third of players not buying any games at all.

Some early gameplay of Borderlands 4. I’m really enjoying the combat and it’s exactly what this franchise needed. But the performance needs a lot of work, very poorly optimized on PC.

@ramonterrell.bsky.social This is what I mean between the Pictos and your active Luminas.

Metal Eden is pretty damn good. That is all.

SCOOP: Perfect Dark was almost revived. The game's developers were close to a deal with Take-Two to fund and publish the game following its cancellation by Xbox in July, sources say, but negotiations fell through, leading to layoffs at Crystal Dynamics last week. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
