The Icebind feels like “Warframe 2014” in all the best ways, and now you can finally play it
2026 is about to kickstart a new era of Warframe. We're within touching distance of Tau, the spacefaring action game's colossal update that will take us outside of the Origin system for the first time. We've seen glimpses of the new Chimera Frames, specifically Brysko. And finally, we got View From the Top, one of [...]
Steam discoverability is “the big issue” in gaming right now, Peter Molyneux says. “There’s just too much choice.”
There are few developers quite as storied as Peter Molyneux. Best-renowned as the creator of Fable and Black & White, before he was known for sprawling fantasy games he began development life with The Entrepreneur, a business sim that, unfortunately, only received two orders. There's been peaks and troughs along that road - most notably [...]
Flight World codes (October 2026)
Soaring five thousand feet above the ground gives us near-maximum joy, but what really completes our lives in this Roblox game is Flight World codes. With these, you don't have to work a day in your life to be able to afford your day-to-day basics, and you can just focus on a smooth ride for [...]
Riot locks down League of Legends match replays, leaving plenty players in the dark
Riot is removing players' ability to view replays from League of Legends matches unless it's a game you played in. Patch 26.20 restricts VOD reviews, essentially making them all private, meaning that other players can't access your old matches, and you can't access theirs. Reviewing match replays in League of Legends is a useful tool [...]
Xbox shuts down GTA 6 PC rumors, as Rockstar’s latest doubles down on console launch
On Tuesday, October 6, it was reported that Xbox had secured exclusivity as the place to cloud stream GTA 6 on PC. However, since then, Xbox has confirmed that the report isn't correct and that the game will be streaming exclusively to PC. The initial report came from The Verge. Following Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's [...]
League of Legends to add five new augments, one of which is a load of bees
ARAM Mayhem is like everyone's favorite cousin: still family (not great), but way more fun (great, actually). It's the no-pressure mode in League of Legends that took the all-action ARAM game mode and added a bunch of over-the-top augments to create something that can sometimes be beyond ridiculous. With patch 26.21, things are going to [...]
Dead by Daylight’s Nier Automata crossover brings 2B to The Fog, and I really hope this heralds a sequel
One of these days, Geoff Keighley will say 'world premiere' and a new Nier game will appear. Nier Automata released in 2017 - almost ten years ago now - and Square Enix's mobile title, Nier Re[in]carnation shuttered in 2023. Automata alone has sold over ten million copies; an announcement that was accompanied by a new [...]
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a promising Mass Effect-style RPG, even if you’re not familiar with the series
Sci-fi RPG fans have been searching for a Mass Effect successor for more than a decade. At Gamescom, I went hands-on with two games that are trying to fill that gap. Wizards of the Coast's Exodus impressed me with its cinematic scale and quirky personality, but The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is another great option that's [...]
Prehistoric Farm codes October 2026
Why watch Jurassic Park when you can live it? With these Prehistoric Farm codes, you can get a head start on your research and get what you need to improve your equipment to find the rarest fossils. There are so many dinosaurs waiting for you to discover them; we don't know about you, but we [...]
The new GTA 6 age rating is super suspicious, and here’s why
GTA 6 might be the most anticipated game ever. More than ten years since the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, and with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online seemingly finished, we're all waiting for the next Rockstar Games sandbox, which apparently marks a return to Vice City. A new age rating for Grand Theft Auto 6 has just been discovered online, and on the surface it hints that official GTA 6 news could be on the way. After some digging and investigating, though, I've discovered that something is seriously amiss.
Survive a Million Monkeys codes (October 2026)
If you want to expand your skill set past basic survival skills, you'll need our Survive a Million Monkeys codes. These codes unlock extra gems that you can spend on new classes like the medic or the engineer to diversify your squad's abilities and stand a better chance against the oncoming horde. We're always on [...]
World of Warcraft Forever’s hard level cap means I might actually play it
I'm not a lapsed World of Warcraft player; I've never had to pull myself out of the mud and forge a new life post-Azeroth. I'm maybe one of three people in the world who haven't played WoW, but that could very well change with what I'm hearing about Forever. A hard level cap, some respect [...]
Aion 2 codes (October 2026)
Step into a new MMORPG journey, and make sure you use the Aion 2 codes for free resources to pad out your inventory. Easily attainable items are super helpful, as you're going to want to spend your time doing finding more important things. This game's battlefield, so head out and look for fights to take [...]
Hearthstone’s new 2v2 battles won’t be perfectly balanced. Instead, Blizzard wants you to “go have fun”
BlizzCon 2026 showed off some upcoming Blizzard games, but also celebrated lots of of the studio's long-running titles. I'm not just talking about legacy games like Starcraft and Warcraft, though I suppose it's worth noting that a new Warcraft 3 expansion, Forsaken Kingdom, was announced and released during the event. No, I'm talking about games [...]
Jagex says AI “has no place” in its creative work after RuneScape Dragon Slayer 2 trailer backlash
A lot is happening right now for RuneScape. Between a multi-year plan for Dragonwilds and an entirely new MMORPG, RuneFest 2026 packed plenty of surprises. Yet, some things have fallen through the cracks behind the scenes. Jagex has pulled a trailer for RuneScape's Dragon Slayer 2 after players spotted what looked suspiciously like generative AI [...]
Arc Raiders is replacing AI with real human performances, starting with Celeste
If you've spent any time flicking through Arc Raiders' traders, you'll probably recognize Celeste. She's the unofficial leader of the underground settlement, helping give the Rust Belt's battered human survivors a little morale boost beneath all the scrap metal and gunfire. However, it's not unfair to say the character's personality is a little stilted, and [...]
Untitled Defense codes October 2026
Taking on hordes of enemies and powerful bosses is a tall order, but Untitled Defense codes can give you an advantage. With these freebies, you can get what you need to upgrade your units, who come from various anime like One Piece and Chainsaw Man. That's our favorite thing, to be honest: seeing characters that [...]
Star Wars Galactic Racer actually has a decent Scouse accent. I asked Fuse how that happened
It took me all of about two minutes to get whiplash from Star Wars Galactic Racer - and I hadn't even set foot inside a speeder. Before I start competing in the Galactic League in earnest, there's the small task of meeting my team, which is where I heard a familiar voice in a place [...]
Peter Molyneux is excited to finally play Fable “as a gamer”
Fable is, perhaps, the most-anticipated videogame out there behind GTA 6. The last mainline entry was 2010's Fable 3 (the '2010' caused me an impressive amount of psychic damage), and while we've had the likes of The Journey for the Kinect and Anniversary, the franchise has been pretty quiet. But there's still a market for [...]
Best Minecraft seeds 2026 - updated for 26.3
Starting a new world in Minecraft means deciding which direction to head, where to build, and when to start mining. But before getting to that, you'll first have to ask yourself whether to allow the crafting game to pick your shiny new generated world for you, or if the odds of survival will be pushed [...]
Minecraft house ideas - 54 cool designs
While we Minecrafters won't want to admit it, we've all suffered from a lack of creative spark at one point or another, resigning ourselves to plopping down a dirt house and calling it a day. But there comes a time when the need for a cool Minecraft house arises - one that you can truly [...]
March of Giants’ Creative Director knows the MOBA market is ruthless, but he believes he can replicate his Rainbow Six Siege success
When March of Giants was initially announced, my excitement for what could be the perfect 'me' game was quickly tempered by an awareness that the market conditions for a new MOBA are currently less than favorable. However, while speaking to Ubisoft Montreal Creative Director Xavier Marquis at a recent preview event, it immediately became clear [...]
New World of Warcraft Midnight patch notes help struggling specs, but Unholy DKs feel the pain of Blizzard’s nerf hammer
New World of Warcraft Midnight patch notes are here with a fresh round of class tuning updates to tackle some of the classes on the fringes of the meta. If you've managed to tear your eyes away from the arrival of WoW Forever, you might want to think about dipping back into Retail in the [...]
Turbo Soccer codes (October 2026)
If you're struggling to get a look in, and someone else is being a ball hog, we've got the solution: Turbo Soccer codes. With codes getting you these eye-catching cosmetics, surely everyone will be too distracted by your sick wheels to focus on the ball. Or so the theory goes. If you're wondering what codes [...]
The Wolf Among Us 2’s publisher thinks “there will be more” from its Telltale Games partnership
The Wolf Among Us 2 is the Telltale game I've been waiting for. I've enjoyed quite a few of the studio's numerous adventure games over the years. While my affinity was more for the puzzle-heavy days that brought us Tales of Monkey Island and Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, there's unquestionably plenty to love [...]
Riding high into its free-to-play launch, new MMORPG Aion 2 extends registration rewards as thanks for the support
It's been a promising start for Aion 2 so far, and as I write this we're still about a day away from its full release. While the new MMORPG is going free to play when that happens, it's already been soaring off the back of players jumping into the five-day paid advanced access. Its concurrent [...]
Gears of War E-Day wants you to enjoy the “terror in your face,” no matter how you choose to play
Gears of War E-Day takes us back to the very first days of the Locust War, and in doing so feels very different from where the series has been with its more recent numbered entries. It's a combined nostalgia hit for long-time fans, and a potential onramp for new players who might be wary of [...]
Arasaka Academy codes (October 2026)
As sure as Jackie Welles was there for V, we're always here for you. In Jackie's case, it was guns and bad puns, but us? Well, we're about to give you the new Arasaka Academy codes. We have a feeling you'll need them if you want to get out of school alive in this Roblox [...]
New League Classic update brings back “one of the worst-designed spells in League of Legends”
It's time to take a look at League of Legends Classic patch 5, and here to walk us through all the new champions debuting in Riot's old MOBA is Game Designer David 'Phreak' Turley. We've got five additional characters joining the lineup this time, and Phreak notes that he's now "in charge of champion release [...]
Paradox’s Afterworld ditches history for Fallout-style fantasy, and that’s its biggest strength
It's not every day that Paradox announces a brand new grand strategy IP. As longtime pioneers of the genre, the studio is home to everything from Europa Universalis to Hearts of Iron; from Stellaris to Crusader Kings. Its games span almost the entirety of history, as well as the vast expanse of the universe as [...]
Runescape 4 is coming, but not before the MMORPG gets its ‘Classic moment’ with Runescape Reignited
Runescape 4 is real. After laying out a whole wealth of content coming to its longstanding MMORPG at Runefest 2026, along with an animated series made in collaboration with Charlie 'MoistCr1tikal' White, Jagex confirmed that it's currently working on an all-new game, dubbed the "fourth pillar" of the studio alongside OSRS and Dragonwilds. It'll likely [...]
OSRS Hardcore leads a packed new roadmap, as the old-school MMO finally opens the gates to Menaphos
Old School Runescape has a very busy year ahead. Jagex is making big moves across its entire landscape of MMORPGs, and as the current star in its lineup, OSRS is no exception. The developer just gave us an in-depth look at all the major additions arriving in the coming months, from its hardest raid ever [...]
Minecraft Dungeons 2 is now playable on Steam Deck, and the blocky ARPG is a perfect fit
Minecraft Dungeons 2 is now Steam Deck Playable, giving you the ability to bring your loot-grinding adventures on the go via Valve's handheld device. Whether you've been looking for an excuse to pick the block-bashing action RPG up, or happen to be on the hunt for something fresh to play on the go, this feels [...]
Call of Duty’s new anti-wallhack tech is so smart I can’t believe it took until Modern Warfare 4
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is now just weeks away, and like all multiplayer games, its developers are continuing to fight the good fight against potential cheaters and hackers who might attempt to ruin your matches. As one of the most popular series around, COD will naturally have a huge number of eyes on [...]
Deadlock’s Rat King is Valve’s monstrous answer to over a year of community jokes
"Out of the sewers and into the streets, the rightful King of the Rats is here at last." It seemed almost an inevitability that the first new Deadlock hero to win the ongoing public vote to join Valve's in-development MOBA would be the Rat King. His arrival marks the culmination of over a year of [...]
Ananta means “unlimited possibilities,” and that includes being Spider-Man, Venom, or just yourself
Ananta is a wild experience. While it might look like a particularly gorgeous anime gacha game at first glance, it's much more than that. I went hands-on with it at Gamescom, and I did so many different things during my 45 minutes with it. I asked Link, Ananta's Global Publishing Lead, and Rain, Ananta's International [...]
New Rust update adds livestock, slows the race to vehicles, and finally gives spoiled meat a use
The Rust October update is here, and this time the big new feature is the addition of livestock. Given how long the survival game has been a dominant force on Steam, it seems surprising to realize that farming the likes of cows and sheep hasn't been a thing until now, but that's all about to [...]
All confirmed GTA 6 weapons
With GTA 6 being arguably the biggest thing on the planet, it's fair to assume there will be a huge arsenal of weapons to go along with it. Think of them as your toys with which to play around in the sandbox that is Leonidas - but which weapons are going to be in GTA [...]
The Elder Scrolls Online has sea battles now, so we asked Zenimax how they work
The Elder Scrolls Online's final free content drop of Season One is upon us, and one piece of free content has attracted more hype (and confusion) than any other: ESO is getting sea battles and treasure diving, with the High Seas of Tamriel event running from September 28 until October 14. Well, in a manner [...]
New World of Warcraft Forever patch notes take us to level 30, with a win for Warriors but sad news for Undead Paladins
Blizzard's latest World of Warcraft Forever patch notes are here, and it's a big week for the beta because the level cap is going up to 30, marking the highest we'll be able to climb until the full launch of the reimagined MMORPG on November 4. Alongside this comes three more dungeons, newcomer Excavation Site: [...]
Shuffle an Egg codes (October 2026)
Magic tricks can be fun, but in this Roblox game, they can also mean you won't be able to fill up your zoo with cute animals. Luckily, with Shuffle an Egg codes, you won't have an issue with this, and you can go back to collecting them all without worrying whether you lost track of [...]
Star Wars Galactic Racer review - breakneck revenge
The best Star Wars stories are the small Star Wars stories, at least these days. The constant barrage of tales from A Galaxy Far, Far Away has left me with some major burnout (not that one), and despite the incredible racing pedigree on show for Galactic Racer, I wasn't sure whether I could get on [...]
10 great games to grab during the Steam Autumn Sale 2026
October has begun, and with it the Steam Autumn Sale. Valve's periodic fiesta of discounts is just as packed as ever, whether you're looking to catch up on the impressive roster of new releases in 2026, or just hoping to grab some of the best PC games of all time at their lowest price yet. [...]
Riot has “all sorts of smart reasons” to not make its League of Legends MMO, but Marc Merrill is confident it’ll succeed
MMOs are, perhaps, the hardest videogames to make. They're massively multiplayer, as per their name, requiring countless hours refining servers and ensuring that minute interactions don't crash systems. They're expansive, meaning that content drops have to feel significant. But most of all, they're a lifestyle - a lifestyle that requires hours of grind and dedication. [...]
Hellraiser Revival’s trailer upset my mother. I asked the devs if they’re proud of its fearsome reputation
While she might not approve of me telling people this, my mom was a 1980s horror fiend. My dad tells stories of all-night cinema screenings where she'd watch a couple of movies before dozing off, and then there's that one time she freaked out in that interactive, Universal's Halloween Horror Nights-esque walking experience. These are [...]
Masters of Albion’s 1.0 launch was a “sketch,” Peter Molyneux says. Its New Beginnings update helps “turn it into a painting”
Masters of Albion is - in theory - Peter Molyneux's last game, and in many ways feels like an amalgamation of his greatest hits. There's the signature God Hand mechanic, reminiscent of Black & White. There's Dungeon Keeper's possession, reimagined and revitalized for a modern audience. But, perhaps most importantly, there's Fable's charm - the [...]
March of Giants goes back to MOBA’s roots, and its giant-filled, alt-WW1 world doesn’t feel out of time
Real-time strategy games were once a jewel of the competitive gaming world. Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, Starcraft, and Warcraft 3 stood as monoliths of the era, with the best of the best exuding a level of macrotactical prowess that was, even to genre journeymen, dizzying. Simultaneously, an evolution was underway, one which would [...]
Steam’s “best September to date” has new faces like Wardogs and Blood of Dawnwalker leading the charge
2026 has been another rough year in a lot of ways, with many companies facing layoffs and reductions. Offering a spot of potential good news, gaming analysts Alinea Analytics has just delivered its latest sales estimates for Steam, and it suggests that the Valve store's total revenue for the past month marks its "best September [...]
Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes (October 2026)
You can find all the new Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes and cosmetic items in this guide, which brings together all of the free capes and skins currently available. Whether you pre-ordered the game, got the deluxe edition, or simply use the same login details as other games in the franchise, you can get something. There's [...]
All GTA 6 characters confirmed so far
Though GTA 6 has been delayed to next year, a second trailer and all new details for the open-world game is keeping us excited about what's to come. So far, Rockstar has confirmed six GTA 6 characters, though we also saw a few other smaller characters in the first and second trailer, such as Lucia's correctional social worker, and Jason's boss, Brian. We do know that Jason and Lucia are the two main, playable characters, but here are the key players in their story when the GTA 6 release date arrives in 2026.
Despite going free-to-play in days, new MMORPG Aion 2 just became Steam’s top seller
It's less than a week until the full launch of Aion 2, the long-awaited sequel to NC's 2008 MMORPG, and yet it's already shot to the top of Steam's top sellers list. What makes that particularly impressive is that Aion 2 is set to be free to play. It's therefore pushed ahead of new releases [...]
You can get the System Shock 2 remaster for free on the Epic Games store, as well as a murder mystery puzzler
It's Thursday today, which came as a surprise to me. Not only does this mean that it's nearly Friday, but it also means that you can get your hands on this week's batch of free PC games from Epic - one of which is an all-time classic and easily one of the best immersive sims [...]
Diablo 4’s most sought-after unique item has just been found, giving a huge buff to your builds
Ever since Diablo 4 Season 15 began, players have been on the hunt for one particularly elusive unique item. Annihilus, a special Horadric seal that dataminers found lurking in the action RPG's files, promised seemingly outrageous stats that could make just about any build you could think of stronger, regardless of your chosen class. It [...]
Gears of War: E-Day campaign review - A spectacular first act
The early Gears of War campaigns are peak nostalgia for me. However, the more recent ones have been a relative slog to get through. I didn't care about the characters as much, and the world just didn't have the same feel I want from Gears. Since its gameplay reveal, Gears of War: E-Day looked exactly [...]
GTA 6 Online release date estimate
Grand Theft Auto 6 is only going to be toppled by one thing, and that's GTA 6 Online. The multiplayer portion of the cultural phenomenon, if it's anything like its predecessor, will eclipse the single-player by quite some margin and make Rockstar more money than god in the process. It's a one-size-fits-all multiplayer experience where [...]
New Minecraft update freezes over as the Ice Caves biome opens for the first time
A new Minecraft update has just opened the doors to its latest biome, and I hope you've packed your parka. Mojang's latest Minecraft Java Snapshot and Bedrock Preview builds are here to start testing for the fourth Game Drop of 2026, and that means it's time to check out the sandbox game's newest biome, the [...]
Blizzard walks back Starcraft 2’s huge 2026 redesign, promising to try again later
Blizzard has thrown its hands in the air and admitted defeat - for now. Starcraft 2 update 5.0.17 is here on the public test realm, and it's basically a complete reversal of the transformative multiplayer redesign that rolled out four months ago. With fundamental changes to the very heart of the economy, the overhaul was [...]
