Wrapped up @jasonschreier.bsky.social’s Play Nice today. Absolutely fantastic read.

I sat down with SaxTalksGames‬ earlier this week to dig into everything behind-the-scenes when it comes to content creation. From routines and tools to mistakes and lessons learned, here's a sneak peek at how the gaming news sausage is made. 👇 Big thanks to Sax for having me on!

Remember the Alarmo.

I want more games like MOUSE: P.I. for Hire. I rolled credits over the weekend and it's a great example of a game that knows exactly what it wants to be. It's not perfect, but it's everything I was hoping it would be, too.

The Nintendo Switch Game Cartridge Taste Tester fucked up and now this current batch isn't rancid.

HADES II is out now on Xbox Series X|S, GamePass, and PlayStation 5!🌖 Battle beyond the Underworld in the highest-rated game of 2025, now with all-new bonus content.

Thanks to #Nintendo for sending over Metroid Prime 4! I'm excited to check it out!

Weekend plans are sorted. 👌 I’ve been playing MOUSE: P.I. For Hire over the last few days! Full coverage dropping April 14th. Big thanks to PlaySide for proving an early review code!

I played Forza Horizon 6 EARLY! As a casual racing fan, so far, it’s exactly what I expected (and wanted) it to be: more of that great Forza Horizon gameplay with a few small tweaks to build it out even more. Big thanks to @xbox.com for the chance to go hands-on for a preview!

Indie showers forecasted this week: Apr 7 - People of Note (@iridiumstudios.bsky.social) Apr 7 - Nippets (vatnisse-interactive.itch.io) Apr 9 - DarkSwitch (@darkswitchgame.bsky.social) Apr 9 - MINOS (@devolverdigital.com) And more: theindieinformer.com/2026/01/05/2...

SteelSeries just dropped an upgrade for the Aerox 3. 👀 Gen 2 is packing a 4K polling rate, a 26K TrueMove optical sensor, and some new translucent colors that absolutely pop. Good stuff. Big thanks to @steelseries.com for the chance to go hands-on for review!

TONIGHT! 7PM ET! The RETURN… of @jampacksam.com to STGM content! Join us for Shared Save tonight www.youtube.com/live/xzwSNKC...

We’ve rebranded. Xbox Expansion Pass (XEP) → The Expansion Pass (XP) 🎮 Same show. Adjusted scope. Interviews. Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, PC — video games. This change allows us to be better understood in our goal of celebrating games everywhere and opens doors previously closed.

South of Midnight is now available on Nintendo Switch 2! Journey into a world of dark folklore, mythical creatures, and living magic!

South of Midnight is out today on PlayStation 5! Dark myths, mythical creatures, and the haunting beauty of the Deep South await.

Over the last few years, I've had plenty of comments asking for a full setup tour... so here we go! It's not lost on me how lucky I am to have a space like this. And I'm even more excited to finally share how it came together. 👇

sure are lots of good video games all of a sudden

Marathon is so damn good!!! Bungie’s shooting and weapon design are unmatched. It feels like I’m playing the best of Halo and Destiny with a class system of Apex. I’m having an absolute blast.

Marathon has the sauce.

I get why Steam CCUs are combed through and talked about so extensively. The data is available. Which, for this industry, is miraculous. But CCUs only tell one part of the story, and the way people extrapolate and make wild conclusions based only on CCUs is unfortunate. I get it. But meh.

Every now and then I get a comment that is absolute gold. Today, that honor goes to borangeporridge. 🫡

Batman: Return to Arkham is $1.99 on Xbox buff.ly/D2hzM7l

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...

Regardless of how you felt about Highguard, this is potentially the saddest final shot they could have picked to send the game off.

Requiem fucking rules, playing games is a lot more fun than talking business.

I interviewed the new lead at Xbox, on what "return to Xbox" means, and much more. Interview with CEO Asha Sharma, and CCO Matt Booty: www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/... #xbox #gaming

I'm LIVE now with @matpiscatella.bsky.social to discussing the ongoing changes in the gaming space from console prices to release windows. Come join us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4fc...

Really enjoyed the chat with Luke diving into everything from component shortages to some of the best Christmas games. Also got to plug Goodnight Universe more, which, yeah, you should play Goodnight Universe!

I’ll be sitting down with Ian Proulx, CEO of 1047 Games. It’s been a turbulent stretch for #Splitgate — mistakes, backlash, and a relaunch. If you have questions about the reset, Arena Reloaded, lessons learned, or rebuilding trust, drop them below. 👇 Critical is fine. Constructive is better.

I've used a TON of audio gear over the years, but I finally invested in something that I should have picked up a long time ago. An echoey office calls for some acoustic panels - so let's talk about the @elgato.com Wave Panels and put them to the test. 👇

every day, IGN is more correct

💡 Tomorrow I'm fortunate to sit down with @jasonschreier.bsky.social to chat about a number of big topics from across the gaming industry. We're LIVE at 4pm EST/1pm PST. 🗨️ Join us in chat or drop a question for us here! 🎉 www.youtube.com/live/o4EPLxB...

Logging off for a bit and taking a walk is a perfectly viable option more should consider.

It's impossible to overstate how stupid this is

First game finished in 2026! Just rolled credits on RoboCop: Rogue City. Truly one of the games of all time.

Happy New Year from foggy Seattle! From all of us at Steam, we hope you were able to close out the year on a high note - and here's to a great start to 2026!

Happy New Year! 🎉

A special holiday message from our favorite Skyrim explorer! 🎁

Reminding my friends that Arkham Origins is a Christmas game. #Arkham #Batman #Gaming

SteelSeries dropped a refresh of the Arctis Nova 7. 👀 This refresh makes a good headset even better, with a battery life boost and compatibilty with the Arctis companion app to easily swap audio profiles on the go. Big thanks to @steelseries.com for sending one my way!

I've used a LOT of gear over the years, but there are some things in my current setup that I couldn't imagine living without. From my teleprompter to my desk, here are five of my top picks for gear that's worth being on any content creator's setup wish list. 👇
