Dragon's Dogma 2 had a successful launch back in March 2024, yet the second entry in the series did not receive the same amount of post-launch support as other Capcom franchises. While backend changes spotted on Steam last month suggest that something could be in the works, the silence surrounding the game is making most fans fear that, with director Hideaki Itsuno's departure, this could be it for the franchise. Thankfully, this doesn't seem to be the case, as CAPCOM will nurture the series, among others, for its long-term growth. In its latest financial report for FY26/3, the Japanese publisher […]

Despite the lack of solid details, the Xbox Project Helix is set to be a very different system from its predecessors, lacking typical GPU customization and bridging the gap between console and PC gaming in ways yet to be revealed. According to a new report from Windows Central, the next-generation Xbox could be a digital-only system, but a project codenamed "Positron" could allow users to still play their physical discs with some form of disc-to-digital program. "Codename 'Positron,' from what we can tell, could be some form of disc-to-digital entitlement program," the report reads. "The details here are incredibly scant […]

During last week's earnings call for its Q4 FY25 and full-year 2025 financial report, Sony's executives admitted they haven't decided on the launch timing for the PlayStation 6 due to ongoing memory shortages, and thus very high prices that could drive the system's launch price past what many consider reasonable for a gaming console. According to known AMD leaker KeplerL2, the only reasonable cutbacks Sony could make without gutting the system heavily to keep its price as low as possible would be to reduce the memory bus and the system's RAM. "Nerfing the specs so much kinda defeats the point of having a […]

Resident Evil Requiem is among the best-looking survival horror games of the current console generation, but if you are on PC and have the performance headroom to spare, you can push the game's visuals to a level past what CAPCOM intended with the Graphics Enhancement mod now available for free on Nexus Mods. "Resident Evil Requiem ships with a maximum in-game RT setting of High. This mod breaks that ceiling — pushing raster quality further, improving RT visuals across the board, and squeezing out a little extra quality from path tracing as well. Everything is tuned from a clean in-game […]

Forza Horizon 6 is launching next week on PC and Xbox Series X|S, but a massive failure in Steamworks publishing leaked a fully playable build of the game without DRM. With the latest entry in the series being one of the biggest titles published by Xbox this year, the publisher is dealing with the situation in the harshest way possible, hitting users playing the leaked build with what essentially is a lifetime hardware ban. As widely reported in now-deleted threads on the series' official subreddit, early players are being suspended for "cheating/unallowed modding," which was to be expected. The suspension […]

Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate has been known to be in the works since the series' 35th anniversary in May 2021, but very little is known about the next main entry in the long-running JRPG series other than the fact that it will be powered by Unreal Engine 5.

Following the disappointing launch of the Steam Controller, which saw units sell out almost immediately, only to end up in the hands of scalpers, Valve introduced a reservation queue to prevent a repeat of the situation. As spotted in the same Steam update that introduced the system for the new controller, a similar safeguard will be in place for both the Steam Machine and the Steam Frame. Users analyzing the system via Steam Tracker have discovered code for four Steam Machine packages and two Steam Frame packages alongside the Steam Controller and Steam Deck entries. This heavily suggests that the […]
