It’s hardly surprising that there was almost no mention of the gaming side of the business in Nvidia’s latest quarterly earnings call. The company has been riding high on all things AI for several years now, to the tune of a $5.41 trillion market capitalisation as I write this. Unsurprisingly, CEO Jensen Huang is excited about what role the company’s hardware will play in the industry’s future.”Vera Rubin is going to be even more successful than Grace Blackwell at this point,” Huang said in response to an investor question. “Every single frontier model company will jump on Vera Rubin from…

By all rights, I should hate Mixtape. A nostalgia-drenched teen drama that pines for someone else’s childhood experience, interspersed with aimless mini-games and a soundtrack that’s decent, but also incredibly blunt in its application? Yes, this game is all of that, but for everything it does that is predictable and kitschy, it also has just enough genuine heart to keep me compelled. Like a catchy song you can’t help but tap your foot to, there’s a simple joy to be found if you can ignore some of the pretensions in the presentation. Put simply, Mixtape is a short, story-focused game…

If you’re willing to risk $1, you could be in with the chance of winning nearly $1,000 worth of Alienware gaming gear, including a 360Hz, QD-OLED gaming monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Plus, even if you don’t win that top prize, you’re guaranteed to get a mystery game. Which monitor is up for grabs? Well, it’s the Alienware AW2725DF, a 27-inch, 1440p, 360Hz model that currently retails for $600. This combination of screen size, resolution, refresh rate, and the choice of an OLED panel is currently what we consider the best gaming monitor combination for most gamers right now, as it…

MercurySteam, the developer behind Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and the Switch exclusive Metroid Dread, has announced layoffs in the same week its latest game Blades of Fire launches on Steam.”There’s no easy way to share this kind of news, but today we must communicate that MercurySteam has initiated a workforce adjustment process,” the studio wrote in a LinkedIn post (via GamesIndustry) adding that, “while this is something common within the production cycles of our industry, it is nonetheless a difficult and painful situation.”MercurySteam did not reveal the extent of the job cuts, or which positions would be affected.

In honor of the 24th Vana’versary anniversary celebration in Final Fantasy XI, Square Enix announced the FFXI Adventurer Gratitude Campaign and Moogle Support Campaign events with themed rewards will both start on May 15, 2026. Both involve getting items just for logging in and not doing anything, though the Adventurer Gratitude one will also involve treasure coffers you can find in certain spots too.  The FFXI Moogle Support Campaign is the event that’s easiest to go through. This is because you will get a Mog Pell (Ochre), Mog Pell (Red), and Trust Primer immediately when you log in during that…

Steam Controller reservations are now open. Prospective buyers can now put their name down on a waiting list, and Valve will email you when your purchase slot becomes available. You’ll be limited to one controller per purchase, and have only 72 hours to complete your order, but at least you can now join an orderly queue and know when your time has come. The new ordering system comes into place after the first batch of controllers sold out within minutes, with early buyers able to purchase two controllers at a time. This initial system that Valve implemented led to a…

Image via Little Chicken and XSEED Ever since farming life sims exploded in popularity thanks to series like Story of Seasons and individual titles like Stardew Valley, we’ve begun to see additional titles that get a little more niche in terms of perspective. For example, 2026 seems to be the year of the “horror” approach to the genre, with titles like Grave Seasons and Village in the Shade involving darker situations. Little Chicken’s Moonlight Peaks also falls into that category, given we’re dealing with vampires, werewolves, and Death, but at the same time it’s more lighthearted and comedic along the…

Using the SteamTracking GitHub page, they show that there are four model numbers for Steam Machines in the latest Steam update. Alongside this, they have found two Steam Frame packages.What…

Windows 11 has been getting criticism from all directions in recent months, thanks to its proliferation of CoPilot AI features, sluggish performance in handhelds relative to the Steam Deck’s SteamOS, and restrictions on basic customization like taskbar placement. However, green shoots are emerging. Following yesterday’s news that Xbox could be ditching CoPilot, today we’re hearing that a new Windows 11 low-latency mode could in the works, potentially giving your gaming PC a lift. Although only rumored at the moment, the new mode is reported to give your Windows 11 system a momentary boost in speed, which should help apps and…
