Final dinner of Summer Game Fest. ✌🏻 As always, amazing time, and thanks to all the PR and Comms teams out there that make it possible. And of course, thank you to all the devs making incredible games for us to enjoy. Now…I’m exhausted and very ready to be home with my wife and doggos. Cheers 🍻

This place loves a good dogpile

Yves, I found @tomhenderson.bsky.social . $500,000 and he's yours.

We investigated which gaming hardware companies did their due diligence in 2025 to make sure their Xbox, PS5, Switch, PC, and accessory supply chains aren't funding armed conflict. Some...did far better than others. https://kotaku.com/gaming-companies-hardware-conflict-minerals-2025-2000702545

NEW: WIRED analyzed Meta's AI app and found NameTag — a hidden facial recognition system designed to identify people via the wearer's smart glasses — has already shipped to over 50 million phones.

Few things in life are as fun as Nick being wrong on a leak.

There's only 24 hours left until you get to see more of Marvel's Wolverine at State of Play! #WolverinePS5

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

COMING THIS FALL: The Insider Gaming Horror Showcase (WIP name) This showcase will feature recently released and upcoming horror and suspense games of all sizes. We will open submissions this summer, along with the official date announcement.

If a new crazy taxi gets announced and you hear the offspring track start up, just remember my favorite band fact: Dexter Holland’s doctoral thesis was a key contributor for cutting edge mRNA-based HIV treatment research. No, this is not a joke.

Today's Insider Gaming Showcase will bring you 55 games from some fantastic developers. But it's not just trailers. As games are revealed, exclusive interviews with the developers will go live for viewing on YouTube and insider-gaming.com WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NsD...

I thought people felt that Donkey Kong 64 kinda sucked? Has the internet led me astray all these yeaers?

I will never understand the reasoning for leaking a story for something that is literally happening in a few hours. Like what is the benefit to posting on social media/forums a couple of hours before a story is set to go live? I get a site that didn't sign an NDA/embargo, makes them (shitty) money

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Mina stans have the whips and dual-daggers out for @tolkoto.com today

Thanks to Turtle Beach for sending over the Xbox edition of their Stealth Pro II's

The console war grifterverse is powering back up, was nice and quiet for a while

Thanks to Simon and Schuster for this one, it is out Wednesday and I'll do my best to have impressions/review up.

Using social media less and less, feeling better and better.

Steam sure doesn't give a shit.

My (free) piece about today's settlement Key thing to know: This suit may technically have been about whether Activision was sold for the best price, but it became more and more about litigating the 2021 misconduct allegations against Activision Blizzard www.gamefile.news/p/microsoft-...

i once showed valve screenshots of people using our game reviews to send us death threats, one of them about the children of the devs, and they emailed back and went "yeah we're not removing it" so anything after that hasn't felt that surprising

1. Xbox’s console sales were not from PC titles. Xbox games were on PC before this current gen and Series consoles were selling at 360’s level before shipment strategy changed to support cloud gaming. 2. How many requesting exclusivity on that list DON’T have an Xbox? It’s console war fodder.

It is interesting to see Western people say that Forza Horizon 6 doesn't feel like Japan enough and then read articles like this automaton-media.com/en/news/forz...

After spending a few months with the Zenless Zone Zero Edition GameSir G7 Pro our reviewer came away mighty impressed with the build quality, feel, and options on this Xbox and PC device.

Three selfless men, likely, saved the lives of over a hundred children.

After announcing price increases on PS Plus Essentials, it turns out that the Extra and Premium tiers have gone up as well. playday.one/2026/05/20/n...

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is reportedly adding two new members to the Xbox leadership team, according to a new report.

Just did it, write from the heart.

He also said that genocide being committed in Gaza is a “fact.” “You can fight against it, you can try to justify it, explain it. That is a fact. You can be against it, or you can justify it,” Bardem said. “If you justify it with your silence or with your support, you are pro-genocide."

I hope - well, for everyone's sake, really - that 'ongoing global market conditions' drastically improve rather quickly or I expect this decision will be reversed sooner rather than later. Shrug.

The Insider Gaming showcase features 12 world premieres and several more games never seen before in a showcase. With a goal of 1 million cumulative wishlists, these games need your support as they look to get funded! Tune in on May 28th at 3pm ET/12pm PT/8pm BST!

PlayStation has just posted about a price increase for PlayStation Plus. It will go up in 'select regions for new customers'. playday.one/2026/05/18/p...

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

I see the "Forza Horizon 6's premium upgrade is twice the cost of the old one!" talk going around. No one bothers to actually look anything up. FH5's was $50 at launch and is still $50, the game costs $10 more so the premium upgrade is $10 more, now.

It's always funny because within a day everyone is just going to start writing it as Xbox and never think about it again

In a surprise move, Batman: Arkham Knight, is now an Xbox Play Anywhere game and part of Xbox Game Pass on PC.

Forza Horizon 6 is the best and most familiar the series has ever been. The festival’s arrival in Japan is a feast for the eyes, running incredibly well on every type of hardware I tried it on.… https://playday.one/2026/05/14/forza-horizon-6-review/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social

Whoooo, first Black Jacket victory.

PR friends on here, quick question. If we're working together and you tell me a game's code should be in soon, then stop responding to me for days up through the game's embargo, why? I am always as polite as possible, just curious if we'll make the review code cut. Radio silence feels bad, man
