Netflix is likely pleased as punch with the GTA 6 extended look, which more than doubled its web traffic

One of the more confusing elements of the Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look is the fact that it debuted on Netflix, of all sites. Why? While it’s harder to pin down the reasons Take-Two went for it, I can at least suss out that Netflix is probably feeling very happy with its end of

The Witcher 3 Remastered makes the original’s best HD mod obsolete, but only because that same modder’s been working on the real deal

It’s been a long road, but a mod we called The Witcher 3’s best graphics overhaul will no longer be needed—and for once, I can talk about a mod becoming obsolete with a smile on my face, because the reasons involved here are all good ones. The Witcher 3 HD Reworked is a cornerstone of

AI is ‘just a plagiarism machine that makes people lose their jobs’ in the eyes of The Talos Principle 3’s writers

How many times do some of the most creative and respected figures in this industry need to explain not only why AI is not the key to making a good game, but that it’s actually detrimental to creativity?

Rockstar responds to GTA 6 leaks: ‘This is not how we intended for you see the game after all this time’

The news cycle this past week has been dominated with Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, and for good reason, Rockstar studios has sprung a big one, with the self-ordained “Cyberleek” drumming up attention with waves of public manifestos, statements, and a little crypto farming on the side. In preparation for its somewhat-confusing Netflix-exclusive gameplay reveal

Crimson Desert’s 2.0 update’s most surprising change is an effort to make Kliff a fully realised character with thoughts and opinions

Crimson Desert didn’t get its jaws into me as deep as I’d hoped—partially because of its somewhat scattershot, overwhelming nature. This is purely a matter of personal taste, mind. If I weren’t obligated to keep up with new games, my MMOs of choice, and y’know, social obligations, I probably would’ve gotten arm-deep within Pearl Abyss’

This is a shorter version of an exclusive Witcher 3 – Songs of the Past cover feature that will go out in the next issue of PC Gamer magazine. Keep your eyes peeled! Surprise! Songs of the Past, The Witcher 3’s third expansion, isn’t kicked off by some Ciri-centric weft in the space-time continuum, nor

Metro 2039 takes us back to Moscow, but it’s still got some delicious bits of Exodus in there

Isn’t it always the way? You spend so long yearning to leave home, to strike out and make a go of it all by yourself, but the second you step foot out the door you start missing it. All of it. The camaraderie and the rows, the shared meals and the constant, privacy-smothering proximity, and—of
