Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen (PS5) Review
After Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and now Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, it certainly feels like Capcom has a penchant for putting icy tundras in their expansions. But it’s a move that works well, as both games have systemic design that brings something interesting to a snowy locale. While the new setting itself is easily the star of Dark Arisen, the expansion as a whole is a bit more by-the-numbers than I was expecting for Dragon’s Dogma – especially considering how different Bitterback Is

Hideo Kojima shares native PC port of P.T., leaving the modder who made it "speechless"
P.T., the "playable teaser" meant to introduce the world to Hideo Kojima's Silent Hills, has been effectively inaccessible since Konami delisted it in 2015. Modder LoreanXavier has created a native PC port of the game that aims to make it playable for modern gamers, and even Hideo Kojima is taking notice. An article from GameRant covered this PC port of PT a few days ago, which was soon retweeted by Kojima himself – on both his English and Japanese Twitter accounts, even. Kojima constantly retw

This Fanatical Deal Drops Marathon on PC to $19.39, Cheaper Than Steam's Autumn Sale
Steam launched its Autumn Sale last week, and the PC-inclined know these seasonal sales are pretty much the best time of year to buy games. Sometimes, though, the gaming giant isn't offering the best possible price. On Steam, Bungie’s latest live action release, Marathon, has dropped to $23.99. However, digital game stores like Fanatical and GMG are also running fall sales, and it just so happens that the former has Marathon Steam codes for even cheaper, at $19.99.

Arc Raiders lead says Steam player count discourse doesn't feel great, but Embark "accepted" it
Ahead of Arc Raiders' Frozen Trail update, a veritable relaunch following several quiet months, developer Embark Studios anticipated a decline in concurrent and daily players and chose to go all-in anyway, even if it meant weathering a few months of Steam CCU discourse. Speaking with GamesRadar+, Arc Raiders executive producer Aleksander Grøndal examines the conversations around the game's player count, which has unsurprisingly declined after a huge launch. This year, Arc Raiders joined the ev

Three Years Later, The Outlast Trials Just Smashed Its Concurrent-Player Record
The Outlast Trials, Red Barrels' co-op horror game set in its wider Outlast universe, just broke its concurrent-player record, eclipsing 120,000 players. The previous high came when the game launched in Steam Early Access in 2023 and the player count climbed to 36,000. Today's new record means the indie horror game reset the bar with a total more than four times higher than its previous best. Red Barrels credited a few big factors for the record. For one, The Outlast Trials is enjoying a huge d
