Battlestate Games has announced that campaign rewards haven’t been altered. However, the studio head, Nikita Buyanov, mentioned that his special voice pack is now more likely to drop as loot.
Embark Studios’ extraction shooter, first revealed at The Game Awards 2021, has quickly become popular since its launch on October 30th. Currently, it’s the fourth most-played game on Steam, trailing only Counter-Strike 2, DOTA 2, and PUBG: Battlegrounds. It’s reached a peak of almost 460,000 concurrent players, and many were surprised to see it surpass Battlefield 6 in player count on the platform.
Okay, so if you’re trying to get the ‘Most Durable Pants in Speranza’ trophy in ARC Raiders, you need to go to Floodgates on the Dam Battlegrounds map. It’s pretty central, just north of the Control Tower. Basically, you’ve gotta find these huge spillways and slide down them for 80 meters without stopping – that’s how you unlock the trophy! It took me a few tries, but it’s totally doable.
Reissad Studio, the creators of Bodycam, just launched a big new update for the game. It includes a lot of fresh content and improvements that make the shooting experience even more lifelike.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming integrated into almost every aspect of our lives. From simple interactions with tools like ChatGPT, AI is now widely used in various forms of media, including gaming. Recently, Dan Houser, of Absurd Ventures, shared his experiences with using AI in game development, suggesting that its practical benefits may be less significant than some expect.
Okay, so, even though everyone already knew about it thanks to leaks, Oblivion Remastered just dropped out of nowhere on April 22, 2025, and I immediately started playing! Honestly, all the talk about Skyrim and everyone wondering about the next Elder Scrolls game had built up enough buzz that they didn’t even need a big marketing push. But it turns out we weren’t the only ones hyped for the surprise release!
As a Game Pass subscriber, I’m a little bummed to hear that some games are leaving the service on November 30th. They’re taking away some really great RPGs, including the newer Lords of the Fallen and both Octopath Traveler 1 and 2. It’s also sad to see Barbie Project Friendship go – I was enjoying the minigames and puzzles in that one. And for anyone into city builders, SteamWorld Build from last year is also being removed. It’s always tough when games leave, but hopefully, we’ll get some equally good replacements soon!
Since launching on October 22nd, the game has been highly praised by both players and critics. Mike Straw from TopMob even declared it one of the most visually appealing and fun games released this year.
Splitgate 2’s developers announced earlier this year they were essentially restarting development with a new beta phase to overhaul key parts of the game. Now, after extensive retesting, they feel confident enough to release it again.
I thought the update process would take several months to begin, but the WDS team has been incredibly quick! They’ve already started updating game titles, with ‘Squad Battles: Advance of the Reich’ being the first to receive the new graphical improvements.
