After giving it 2 patches and dropping it like a stone, Bethesda promises to bring Switch 2 optimisations to Oblivion Remastered on other platforms

Oblivion Remastered has led a rather odd post-release life. The closest we’ve got to a new Elder Scrolls since 2011 released in April last year, received a fair amount of acclaim, then essentially went silent. It twitched into activity a couple of times in the months following its release for patches 1.1 and 1.2, but

Lego shut down a Bionicle fangame 8 years in the making—1 year later, its developers are back with something legally distinct and arguably cooler

It’s always heartbreaking when fan projects get axed—but one sorrow from last year was Bionicle: Masks of Power, which was shut down by Lego after it had peacefully co-existed with it for eight whole years. The project, a fully-fledged third-person action game by Team Kanohi, had attempted to thread the needle by playing nice with

Halo: Campaign Evolved struggles to sell in anywhere near the quantities the recent Black Ops revivals did, and the probable reason? Lack of multiplayer

Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s singleplayer is a clever roguelike gauntlet I could easily sink hours into

I recently had a chance to play a healthy chunk of the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a—you guessed it—racing game where you can hop behind the seat of a handful of different vehicles: Landspeeders, a skim speeder, and speeder-bikes. There’s also, naturally, podracing. Each of these vehicles handles differently—landspeeders are the most consistent (they’re

GTA 6 might not cost $100, but most of the people pre-ordering it are buying it at that price, Take-Two reveals

Zelnick told CNBC that pre-orders overall are “much better than expected”, and that the split skews more towards the Ultimate edition. He believes that might simply be because players who pre-order are more likely to be the type who values what’s included in the more expensive edition. “That might be a reflection of the fact
