The meteoric rise and sustained success of Embark Studio's new third-person extraction shooter, ARC Raiders, will be one for the history books of the video game industry if things keep going the way they are currently going. A new report from Alinea Analytics claims that for the third consecutive month, ARC Raiders was the number one selling title across Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. That month was, of course, January 2026, during which Alinea Analytics says ARC Raiders sold an additional 1.5 million copies just on Steam. On PlayStation and Xbox, it combined for an additional 1.7 million copies sold, bringing […]

Obsidian Entertainment was one of the busiest studios in 2025, releasing not just one, but three major titles last year. It began the year with Avowed in February 2025, followed by Grounded 2 releasing in early access in July 2025, and capped off the year with The Outer Worlds 2 in October 2025.

While completing the full Skill Tree is a slog, since you don't just have to unlock skills by spending individual points, you need to spend a certain amount of skill points in each of the three sections (Conditioning, Mobility, and Survival) to move into the […]

A few hours ago, people started noticing that many employees had changed their LinkedIn status to 'open for work', including Director of Communications and Marketing Margaret Krohn, who only hinted at the circumstances in a LinkedIn blog post: As for how this all ended… I don’t really have the words. It wasn’t what I expected. But I’m holding onto the good because there was so much of it. More information came to light […]

If PlayStation needed another sign that its current push to put its first-party made and published games on both PC and PS5 was a good idea, it certainly has it with the latest report from Alinea Analytics, which claims that the popular third-person shooter Helldivers 2 has sold over 20 million copies, most of them coming from PC players on Steam. When Helldivers 2 launched, despite its connectivity issues that hindered the experience and the controversy regarding PC players initially being mandated to connect their PlayStation Network accounts to their Steam accounts to play the game, it was immediately the […]
