Those enrolled into the platform’s Steam Labs feature can now check out the service’s new ‘Personal Calendar’ – allowing you to more easily track future upcoming releases.

Ever since the disappointing launch of Halo: Infinite, Microsoft and 343 Industries (now Halo Studios) have been laying somewhat dormant, with the biggest news arriving during last year’s Halo World Championships in the form of the UE5-developed ‘Project Foundry’. Ahead of this year’s championships, a Halo insider has claimed that two projects are currently in the works to be released next year.

After a ton of hype and anticipation, Battlefield 6 finally arrived to huge success, selling over 7 million copies in its first week while amassing a concurrent player count of almost 750,000 on Steam alone. Though already confirmed to be the biggest launch in series’ history, we’ve now gotten some additional details on just how much more successful BF6 is compared to prior entries.

Sony is currently locked in a legal battle with Tencent due to the latter’s announcement of Light of Motiram – an open world game which looks eerily similar to PlayStation’s Horizon Zero Dawn / Forbidden West franchise.

That said, this wasn’t the only potential project, with the two companies at one point planning to work on a new game based on The Last of Us.

The Battlefield 6 beta was met with a wave of optimism over the Summer, and now, launch day is finally upon us. I've been playing the game in early access over the past week, giving me ample opportunity to see the campaign and dive into multiplayer modes. I'm pleased to report that Battlefield 6 is a strong return to form, doing away with all the controversial changes found in Battlefield 2042 and delivering the quintessential Battlefield experience. On top of that, we have some PC benchmark numbers, so you can get an idea of how well the game runs with DLSS on/off and with Frame Generation enabled and disabled. 

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle launched last year to strong reviews from both critics and fans alike. Since then, the Xbox exclusive found its way onto PlayStation and released the Order of Giants DLC.

KitGuru spent six days with Intel in Phoenix, Arizona learning about their ground-breaking 18A fabrication process which will be used in Panther Lake laptops. It is no secret that Intel has had a rotten few years and ended up having their processors made by arch-rival TSMC in Taiwan. 18A is of critical importance to Intel and could literally define the future of the company. On the other hand, if things go wrong, it could potentially be the end of the road for this American giant...

The past month has been rough for Xbox. Over the past few weeks we've seen console prices go up, studios closed, high-profile projects cancelled and now this week, Game Pass has been restructured, with a 50% price hike for Game Pass Ultimate, which is now the only tier to include day-one games. According to sources, the writing has been on the wall for Game Pass since Call of Duty joined the Game Pass library, as the move apparently cost Microsoft hundreds of millions in lost sales.

While the Lord of the Rings universe is rich with stories; lore; characters and more (all of which are perfect to be adapted into video game form), the franchise has struggled to release a quality game in quite some time – with its most recent high being the 2014 open-world ‘Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor’. That said, following the likes of LOTR Gollum and the middling Return to Moria, a big-budget ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ styled 3rd-person Lord of the Rings game is reportedly in the works.

Borderlands 4 may very well be the best entry in the much-loved looter-shooter franchise.

While sentiment surrounding Call of Duty is far from the greatest it’s been, the teams at Activision and Treyarch are trucking along with their reveal plans for the upcoming Black Ops 7.
