Following its delay from 2025, Bungie's Marathon launched last month on PC and PlayStation 5. While the game was generally well received, with our own David Carcasole awarding it a 9 out of 10 score in his review, the extraction shooter by the makers of Halo and Destiny did not manage to become a smashing success at launch, and its player base is continuing to contract despite Bungie providing solid support so far. However, for some reason, the game has become the most searched game on SteamDB since its launch. As spotted on Reddit by user Anihalation, Marathon has been […]

Amidst constant news of price increases for gaming hardware and services, Microsoft did the unexpected yesterday by lowering the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which had become too expensive for too many players, according to Xbox head Asha Sharma, at the cost of new Call of Duty games that will only hit the service one year after their launch. Reportedly, this is only the beginning, as according to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft's long-term goal for its subscription service is flexibility. "Microsoft sources tell me that the longer-term goal for Xbox Game Pass is to make it more flexible," […]

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced continues to be one leaky ship. After the game's existence was revealed long before its official announcement (something that Ubisoft itself acknowledged), new footage of the highly anticipated remake leaked online, showing how the game's visuals will be on par with those of the best-looking entry in the series to date: last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows. The leaked footage, shared on X by KAMI, is most likely lifted from the game's official trailer which will officially make its debut in a few days, on April 23. While it does not feature any gameplay, the footage […]

Not content with selling more than 1 million units in just 48 hours, which is an excellent result for a brand new IP, CAPCOM has already improved PRAGMATA with a new PlayStation 5 Pro patch. This patch introduces official PSSR support (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) for a noticeably sharper image quality. Patch 1.210, which has gone live today, "adds official support for the upgraded PSSR," the publisher confirmed on the game's official X profile. While some users noted that the game already used the system-wide toggle to enable the tech at launch, this official support brings significant optimizations. According to […]

Although little is currently known about the next-generation Xbox Project Helix, it's clear the system will be quite different from the Xbox One and the Xbox Series X|S, as it is set to bridge the gap between PC and console gaming. How this will be achieved remains to be seen, but in terms of hardware, according to known AMD leaker KeplerL2, Microsoft has decided to abandon the last thing that made an Xbox feel like an Xbox: custom hardware. "MS has 0 customization on the GPU side this time," the leaker said on the NeoGAF forums in a thread discussing […]

Shuhei Yoshida is among the most recognizable figures in the video games industry. Having been at Sony for decades, working as a producer on many beloved PlayStation games like Gran Turismo, Ape Escape, and The Legend of Dragoon, Yoshida-san eventually became the head of PlayStation Studios in 2008, stepping down in 2019 to Hermen Hulst (now one of the two SIE CEOs). However, this transition was rocky, as Yoshida-san confirmed during the 2026 edition of Australian games festival ALT: GAMES to have been fired from the role because he didn't listen to then CEO Jim Ryan. As reported by This Week in Video Games, Yoshida-san didn't mince words on the matter, […]

The Catch Me If You Can Training Simulation is one of the most challenging to complete in PRAGMATA. Clearing both the main mission within 130 seconds and the side objective requires the perfect execution of a makeshift "Weapon Switching" strategy to eliminate enemies as quickly as possible. Unlike other Training Simulations such as Floor It, Bad Blood, Mouse Trap, and Medic Training, you have no room for error here. Objectives and Rewards Step-by-Step Strategy If you followed these steps precisely, you will have plenty of time left to deal with the Lancer and claim your 4 Upgrade Components and the […]

PRAGMATA features two endings, depending on your total progress. However, you shouldn't worry about doing anything specific until you have cleared the main campaign at least once. NOTE: The guide is as spoiler-free as possible. While it does list the rewards you get for unlocking the two endings, it has no story spoilers. Still, avoid reading on if you haven't completed the game at least once. The Normal Ending To achieve the Normal Ending, simply clear Sector 06: Central Port and defeat the final boss. This is a mandatory step for everyone, as it unlocks content required to unlock the […]

Crashing issues in PRAGMATA on PC can occur before you even start the game proper, with Fatal D3D errors also happening when trying to enable Path Tracing or changing Frame Generation options. Some users have reported these crashes even without touching these settings, suggesting a possible hardware conflict. To solve these issues and enjoy the game on PC, two workarounds have currently been found. Disable GPU Overclocking Games powered by the RE Engine (such as Resident Evil Requiem and Monster Hunter Wilds) are notoriously sensitive to GPU overclocking and software such as MSI Afterburner. As such, disabling any overclocking and […]

Although Hideo Kojima's games, such as the Death Stranding series, can be divisive, anyone who has experienced them cannot deny that the legendary game designer's approach is unique. According to actor Troy Baker, who plays Higgs in the series, this stems from a vision that prioritizes making the player "walk away impacted than entertained," a philosophy that allows him to "swing big" in a way that feels miraculous. "I think that there's a lot of people that are making games – and I don't blame them – that, right now, are trying to razzle dazzle the player the entire way […]

The PlayStation 6 is said to deliver up to 10 times the ray tracing performance of the base PlayStation 5, but gamers shouldn't expect this massive performance uplift to deliver 10 times the FPS in games. According to known leaker KeplerL2, AMD documents are being significantly misinterpreted, and the overall real-world performance of the system should be, on average, in games that don't use much ray tracing, closer to 3 times that of the base PS5. “I've explained this before but MLID (Moore's Law is Dead) is misinterpreting AMD docs,” the leaker said on the NeoGAF forums. “He thinks if […]

Housemarque's Saros will leverage the power of the PlayStation 5 Pro and the PSSR 2 upscaler to deliver sharp image quality that's barely distinguishable from native 4K resolution and 60 FPS gameplay, in line with the developer's philosophy of pushing gaming hardware to its limits. “On PlayStation 5 Pro we also increased our base render resolution, which is the resolution before upscaling. This means on PS5 Pro, you will have an even clearer higher resolution image at 60 fps. While we use dynamic resolution to ensure stable frame rate even in the middle of hectic combat, PS5 Pro always delivers a sharper image in a […]

PRAGMATA features a few useful abilities with clear uses, and some whose benefits are not apparent. This is the case of Critical Shot, an early-game ability that can make your life much easier in some unexpected ways.

PRAGMATA generally does a very good job of explaining its intricate mix of third-person shooting and hacking puzzle-solving, but not every mechanic is explained as thoroughly as it should be. This is the case of the Multihack hacking node, one of the best hacking abilities in the entire game, which can turn the most difficult combat encounters into a walk in the park with the right setup. Multihack: The Best Tool For Crowd Control According to the in-game description, Multihack is a "hacking node that links enemies together, opening multiple targets.

PRAGMATA's Training Simulations, such as Medic Training, Mouse Trap, and Floor It, feel more like puzzles, forcing you to take full advantage of the game's mechanics to clear them with all optional objectives.

In PRAGMATA, certain advanced bots are equipped with modules that can cause Jamming, scrambling the hacking matrix, preventing Diana from opening them up to expose their weak points, and depriving you of one of your most effective combat tools. If you find you cannot complete hacking because red nodes sever your connection to the enemy, you must physically disable the jamming source to regain full hacking capability. Identifying the Jamming Source Enemies that can jam Diana's hacking do so with specific parts. You can easily identify these components by their red color. Complete vs. Partial Hacking Matrix Restoration In the […]

Hacking is the biggest part of the PRAGMATA experience, but also one of its most divisive. Some will inevitably love alternating between shooting and hacking, while others will find hacking breaks the pace of third-person shooter combat too much. Thankfully, for the latter group, the game does feature Auto-Hacking, though it is not available from the start. How to Unlock To get access to this feature, you must first complete Sector 2: Mass Production Array. Once finished, it can be unlocked from the Unit Printer in the Shelter for 1 Pure Luneum.

Exploring the Lunar Base in PRAGMATA can be a daunting task for completionists. Each area contains a set number of hidden items, but the game’s initial scanner does not mark them on your interface. This often forces players to check every corner to find essential materials. However, if you are struggling to find those last few components, there is a specific ability that makes full exploration significantly more enjoyable. Unlock Object Scan To make your search easier, you must wait until you unlock Sector 03: Terra Dome. At this point, you can learn the Object Scan ability by interacting with […]

In PRAGMATA, Upgrade Components are a limited resource found across the Lunar Base that allow you to enhance Hugh's Suit and Primary Unit (main weapon) as well as Diana's Hacking. While you may think that spreading components across the three may work best, doing so will make the beginning of the game more challenging, especially when you start encountering more powerful bots that pack a punch and have quite a bit of health. As such, you should prioritize upgrading some components over the others. Quick Summary: The Best Upgrade Priority If you want to have as few troubles as possible […]

PRAGMATA features a lot of different currencies and collectibles to find on the lunar research base, providing you with plenty of incentives to fully explore each sector. Among these collectibles are Mr. Cabin figurines, which are very reminiscent of the Mr. Raccoon Memoriam found in Resident Evil Requiem. Here's where to find all of them.

As you explore the first few sectors of the base in PRAGMATA, you will find multiple Attack and Tactical Units to help you deal with bots. In the beginning, you will need to make choices with your loadouts based on very limited space, but you won't be so limited in terms of weapon options for the entirety of the game. Quick Summary: Can You Carry Multiple Units? Yes, but not at the start of the game. You must progress to Sector 03: Terra Dome and complete a specific mid-boss encounter to unlock the ability to carry two weapons per unit […]

Unlike some of the other currencies, Cabin Coins in PRAGMATA are a limited resource. You will only find these by thoroughly scouring sectors or mastering the optional objectives in Training Simulations like Bad Blood or Floor It. Because you never find these coins in droves, you cannot afford to spend them blindly. The Mr. Cabin Stamp Card hides many of its rewards, and while some unlock vital gameplay enhancements, others are purely cosmetic 3D models. To help you avoid wasting your rare coins, we have listed all rewards below. How the Mr. Cabin Stamp System Works Once you find a […]

Early in Pragmata, combat can feel slow, as many powerful bots come with plenty of health. However, by combining specific hacking nodes with Tactical Units, you can create high-damage loops that can make short work of regular bots and deal massive damage to bosses. The key to this high-damage loop is the synergy between hacking's Offense Mode and the Stasis Net Tactical Unit. Unlocking the Essentials To use this highly effective combo, you need to unlock these three components: NOTE: A Bingo on any card is achieved by unlocking every bonus on either vertical or horizontal line on the card.

The Medic Training Simulation is one of the first major hurdles for players aiming for 100% completion in PRAGMATA.

Hacking is a core component of the PRAGMATA combat mechanics and the most difficult to master. As you juggle between hacking and shooting enemies, you may find hacking cumbersome and distracting, but there is a hidden input trick that completely eliminates hacking downtime. Mastering this "Hacking Reset" tech not only allows you to hack more consistently but also lets you build the Hacking Gauge faster to access powerful abilities more often.

Developing for platforms like the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam Deck can be a challenge, especially for developers who have to work around the hardware restraints these systems have, compared to consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. However, some developers like No Man's Sky developer Hello Games are more than willing to put in the extra work to keep their games updated and work around “impossible memory constraints.” “The mobile platforms like Switch 1 and 2, along with Steam Deck take a disproportionate amount of engineering time with every update we release,” said No Man's […]

Right before the PlayStation 5's latest price increase went into effect on April 2, sales of the Sony current-generation console peaked in the United States according to data provided by Circana's Matt Piscatella, indicating how real the fear of price increases is for consumers in the US. “US weekly unit and $ sales of PlayStation 5 hardware reached 2026 highs during the week ending April 4th, as price increases loomed,” wrote Piscatella on Bluesky. “US spending on video game hardware for the week nearly doubled when compared to the same week a year ago.” Unfortunately, Circana's Video Game Industry Advisor […]

Something new could be coming to Dragon's Dogma 2. Although the game hasn't received a significant update in a long time, some recent discoveries made by the community via SteamDB suggest that those who believed CAPCOM teased an expansion last month may not have been too far off the mark. As spotted by Reddit user Professional-Bank469, a new 77 GB depot was recently uploaded. This massive depot was quickly removed and then updated again with smaller depots weighing 115 and 291 KB. What makes this notable is the comparison between the game's file size and the size of the now-removed […]

The next entry in the God of War series, directed by Cory Barlog, will be an expansion of the series' universe and the first one to not feature Kratos as a protagonist. According to new reports from Mp1st and Reddit, this yet-to-be-announced game will see players explore other mythologies and have some rather weird companions, including a talking sword and a “gelatinous cube.” The first new rumor about the next entry in the series, long said to be a new IP, came from Reddit user IntrinsicGamer, who penned a report back in 2023 about the game. In their follow-up, the user revealed some additional information: […]
