Among the games rumored to launch in the coming months on Nintendo Switch 2 is a The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Little is known about this project, but today, some additional details on the remake of one of the best games of all time have been shared by Nash Weedle. Speaking during the latest episode of the Attack The Backlog podcast, the leaker said the developers are rebuilding the entire game from scratch for this remake. The leaker first heard about the project back in 2022, at which point the studio was hiring creative and artistic leads. [β¦]
Xbox Mode has officially started rolling out on Windows 11, but early feedback from users has been mixed. From rollout confusion and missing features to glitchy UI behavior and disappointing performance gains, fans are already questioning whether the new gaming-focused mode is ready for prime time.
AMD predicts major gaming decline due to βhigher memory and component costsβ During the companyβs Q1 2026 earnings call, AMD predicted that its βgamingβ revenue would decline substantially during the second half of this year.

Well over five years since its release in late 2020, it is now possible to run Linux on PlayStation 5 with older system software, opening the way for many interesting applications, including turning the current-generation Sony system into an emulation beast. This is exactly what one user did, proving how the system has all it takes to run PlayStation 3 games natively with little intervention, further highlighting Sony's disinterest in delivering the sort of backward compatibility users would love to see. Shortly after developer Andrew Nguyen released their Linux loader online, X user Retropierdolnik shared a video showcasing the PlayStation [β¦]
Being the first ever remake of the series, and the remake of one of its most popular entries, Ubisoft is going all in with Assassinβs Creed Black Flag Resynced. With a new post on its official website, the publisher moved away from the visual comparisons with the original and instead provided some additional details on parkour and core movement improvements, stealth and combat, complete with brand new gameplay footage. All of the improvements detailed this week seem to be based on the idea of improving what the original had and making it smoother for a more enjoyable experience. "One thing [β¦]

A few hours ago, Ubisoft leaker xj0nathan decided to share a screenshot from a private playtest of Assassin's Creed Invictus, the rumored multiplayer Fall Guys-inspired spin-off. However, the official Assassin's Creed X account responded to him quickly, claiming that the screenshot had been heavily altered with AI tools: Nice tryβ¦ This might have started as an image from our private test, but itβs been heavily altered (most probably with AI).

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirms the end of Copilot on console and mobile, marking a shift away from AI features as the company focuses on speed, community, and core priorities.
The Steam Controller sold out instantly when it launched this week, but Valve has issued a new statement confirming it's working hard to get a restock.
Shortly after the new leadership cabinet for Xbox chief executive officer Asha Sharma was made public, Sharma took to her personal X (formerly Twitter) account to comment on the appointments but also to reveal another change regarding Xbox's direction. Microsoft's Copilot AI, which had been introduced into the gaming ecosystem as Gaming Copilot through the mobile Xbox app and the Xbox PC app, is seemingly something that no longer aligns with platform's direction. "Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers," Sharma began in her statement. "Today, we promoted [β¦]

A new report from CNBC reveals that Xbox chief executive officer Asha Sharma is bringing over more of her former CoreAI team to the Xbox side of Microsoft in an overhaul of Xbox's executive team with five new members in total, the fifth coming instead from Sharma's other previous home of Instacart. Part of the move also includes the dismissal of more of the old guard, as one moves to an advisory role, and the other leaves the company. Since Asha Sharma stepped into the role of chief executive officer of Xbox, the former CoreAI president has been establishing what [β¦]
IO Interactive's James Bond licensed game, 007 First Light, is now just three weeks away from its debut. As we got closer to the launch, the developers started revealing new details; now, YouTuber JorRaptor has reported that Gameplay Director Andreas Krogh confirmed the game's average length is around 20 hours.

Timothy Cain, the co-creator of Fallout and the co-developer of The Outer Worlds, has shared his opinion on online discourse and how some players can't form their own opinion about games anymore.
Yesterday, Valve launched its Steam Controller (2026), the follow-up to its 2015 predecessor and an improvement based on the years of learning Valve took from developing that first controller, to the Steam Deck, and now this latest gamepad. The launch went about as well as you would hope if you're Valve. The 'Buy Now' button went live on Steam, the gamepad shot up to the top of the best-selling charts, and it sold out within minutes. The unfortunate part of that last bit was that it seems Valve wasn't fully prepared for a complete sell-out of the device. In an [β¦]
After Season 2 of the best-selling game in 2025 was delayed, causing a great deal of strife within the game's community, EA and Battlefield Studios aren't allowing for the same gap between Season 2 and Season 3 of Battlefield 6. The new season will arrive next week on May 12, 2026, and the studios just debuted our first look at the new season and a tease at what will be the largest map in the game when it arrives with the return of the Railway to Golmud. Season 2 arrived back on February 17, making it a more reasonable 12-week [β¦]
Although an official announcement has yet to be made, leaks from multiple reliable sources have made it clear that the PlayStation 6 will launch alongside a handheld system that should be more than capable of running current and next-generation games. However, much like the Xbox Series S did with the Xbox Series X and possibly the entirety of the current console generation, there is the real possibility this portable system could hold back the home console, especially with mandatory support. According to known leaker Moore's Law is Dead, who first leaked the specs for Sony's next-generation systems, the chances of [β¦]
Xbox has unveiled the first batch of Xbox Game Pass games that'll hit the service in May 2026, with two of 2026's biggest releases set to arrive on day one for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Those games are, of course,Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2, as one of the most anticipated first-party Xbox Game Studios' game releases and the most wishlisted game on Steam pair up on the same subscription service. They aren't the only two games entering the service in the first half of May, of course. An additional seven games are joining the service, with five out of [β¦]
Funcom has released a massive free update for Conan Exiles players with Conan Exiles Enhanced, a new update that overhauls the game and brings it to Unreal Engine 5. Announced last month, the update introduces UE5's Lumen Global Illumination lighting system, nanite geometry, virtual shadow maps, and an improved terrain for a significant visual overhaul. It's an update that is meant to celebrate the popular survival game as it nears its eight-year anniversary on May 8, 2026, though it's not a celebration for all of the 15 million+ players who've stepped into the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah [β¦]
007 First Light is launching on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S later this month, but Nintendo Switch 2 users will have to wait a little longer to experience James Bond's new gaming adventure. While the lack of a solid release window beyond a generic Summer has some worried the game has only been delayed to be canceled, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak confirmed this won't be the case. βItβs running on the Switch 2. We just want to make sure itβs good as it can be. I donβt want to hear it wasnβt a good version,β Abrak said [β¦]
Guerrilla Games' upcoming multiplayer spin-off of its mainline open-world Horizon series, Horizon Hunters Gathering, is set to have its second closed beta playtest later this month, from May 22-25, 2026.

Around five months ago, CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski signaled a shift in tone for Lords of the Fallen 2 away from "political correctness" and toward, among other things, skimpy female armor designs. Now, that's been confirmed with the official reveal of five concept art pieces that leave little to imagination: the female characters will feature much more revealing armor sets in the upcoming Soulslike sequel. The studio claimed to be responding to players' feedback: You wanted fierce. You wanted beautiful. You wanted provocative. The reveal also took place in partnership with content creator TheBackgroundNPC, who focuses specifically on female [β¦]

OMAHA, NEBRASKA - MAY 4: Oba Femi makes his entrance during Monday Night RAW at the CHI Health Center on May 4, 2026 in Omaha, Nebraska. (Photo by Georgiana Dallas/WWE via Getty Images)

Oba Femi's Open Challenge began on Raw in Omaha, Nebraska and the Ruler was in top form. It's been a long time since WWE handled a new magnetic superstar's initial push this well. Oba's match with Otis had everything you'd want and expect at this point in the former's measured and entertaining rise.
What Has WWE Done Right With Oba Femi's Booking So Far?
The segment had comedy, which allowed Femi the continued runway to show he's far more than a brute. Akira Tozawa continues to deliver as comic relief and Femi's body language carried the requisite weight.
Athletically Femi displayed the kind of explosion that separates him from most other performers of a similar archetype. The diving spinning elbow isn't quite as graceful as R-Truth's back in the day, but for a man who weighs upwards of 300 pounds, it is pretty impressive.
The feats of strength that we have seen consistently also continued. He hit the Fall From Grace on Otis after propping him on the second rope, but he held him in the air for 3-5 seconds before finishing the move. Before the finisher, Oba hit the belly-to-back toss on the big man. During this run, Oba is showing himself to be more than the strut. He's more than a big, strong guy. He's a complete performer.
The booking has built around those tools instead of forcing him into a finished-product role too early. That patience is exactly what's been missing from a lot of post-NXT call-up runs in recent years.
How Did The Otis Match Showcase What Makes Oba Work?
Otis was the perfect dance partner for this segment. The former tag team champion brings legitimate size at 330 pounds, real championship pedigree from his Alpha Academy run, and the comedy/agility hybrid that lets a heavyweight match breathe in ways a pure power-on-power bout often can't.
That booking decision matters because it lets Oba look dominant without requiring WWE to bury a developmental name to do it. Both men come out of the segment fine β Oba elevated, Otis still a credible foil for the next time WWE needs him.
Why Does The Open Challenge Format Fit Oba's Character?
The open challenge allows Oba to escalate through the ranks on his way to the title picture. He's already defeated Brock Lesnar. Perhaps Lesnar returns and they clash again at SummerSlam, but either way, it will feel more earned when Oba challenges for a title.
The format itself has historical pedigree as a star-builder β John Cena's US Title Open Challenge era and Sami Zayn's various title runs have shown how it can be used to rotate a young performer through varied styles without committing them to a single feud before they're ready. For Oba, that flexibility is the whole point.
What's Next For Oba Femi On Raw?
I'd expect Oba to get a new challenger next week, which will be right after Backlash on Saturday, May 9. The opponent probably won't be another super heavyweight. It'll likely be a heel of some sort who has a group with him. Austin Theory could fit the bill.
A Theory matchup would slot in cleanly because it gives Oba a different kind of opponent β smaller, faster, with outside interference baked in via Theory's group framing. That's the kind of variety the Open Challenge format thrives on, and it keeps the runway open for the bigger payoffs WWE is clearly building toward.

Nintendo fans and Nintendo Switch 2 owners have a lot to look forward to in 2027-2028, if interviewer Kiwi Talkz is to be believed. Reece 'Kiwi Talkz' Reilly, who you may recognize as a YouTuber who regularly interviews game developers and someone who has occasionally leaked accurate information ahead of its official reveal, has shared his latest tidbit that's stirred speculation, and it points to more Metroid, Zelda, and Smash Bros. to look forward to. What 'more' for any of those franchises means is less clear. There's the Legend of Zelda movie that's coming next year, which Reilly mentions, but [β¦]
Responding once again to online speculation, Activision has confirmed the status of Call of Duty 2026 on Xbox One and PS4, and it doesn't make for good reading for players on both. Even if it's the right decision to make.
Video game studios don't often comment on rumours, but when they do they offer welcome points of clarity for players. Today, Activision chose to comment on a rumour that ran rampant yesterday and most of today, which was that the next Call of Duty game (which is largely reported to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4) is being made for last-gen consoles, specifically PS4. The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the shooter franchise cleared the air on that, and seemingly confirmed one of the biggest questions surrounding 2026's Call of Duty entry. "Not sure where this one started, [β¦]
Grand Theft Auto VI will be the biggest video game launch, and perhaps the biggest launch of any single piece of entertainment in history, when it arrives. Whether that's on November 19, 2026, as is the current plan, or on a different date due to an unforeseen delay, that statement is practically set in stone, and that'll happen despite GTA 6 only arriving on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles to start, and not on PC. Why it won't arrive on PC is a topic of much debate, with speculation being that Rockstar and Take-Two would rather let players [β¦]
In a recent interview with Mundfish founder and CEO Robert Bagratuni about the Atomic Heart series, I inquired about the studio's opinion on NVIDIA DLSS 5, the surprise announcement at GDC 2026 that proved highly controversial among developers and modders: some people love it, others hate it. Atomic Heart already supports NVIDIA DLSS technologies like Super Resolution and Frame Generation. Is Mundfish considering DLSS 5? Well, Bagratuni called it "highly promising", though he added that the developers are following its progress and will evaluate its potential addition in future releases. In short, he hasn't committed yet. DLSS 5 is aΒ very [β¦]
A former Bethesda artist has said the studio thought about swapping to Unreal Engine 5 for Xbox's Starfield, but stuck with Creation for its mod support.
Valve's latest Steam Controller, and the first of its previously announced new hardware products, has officially launched and is available for players to order directly through Steam. If you get through to one, that is, as the controller launched and promptly sold out within 30 minutes. Any new popular product release in video games or in any market today is a race to see whose connection worked faster or who could type in their credit card details faster, and the Steam Controller was no different. The new gamepad shot directly to the top of Steam's best-selling charts, and as quickly [β¦]
A short-lived Microsoft support page set 32GB of RAM as the worry-free level for gaming, yet Steamβs hardware data shows the majority of players fall below that mark.

First and foremost, the game is now gold, and preloading is available on Xbox Series S and X and PC via the Xbox app, with Steam preloading coming soon. You'll have to make a lot of space in your storage drive, though: Playground also shared that there will be two graphics modes to pick from on Xbox Series S and X. The former console will allow 1440p at 30 frames per second or 1080p at 60 frames per second, while the latter enables [β¦]
Bungie's new extraction shooter, Marathon, is still trying to find its footing as the latest triple-A multiplayer shooter on the market. While it's been critically praised by many (myself included), it seemingly hasn't reached the level of commercial success that Bungie or PlayStation Studios hoped it would reach. Despite that, Bungie isn't letting on that it has any concerns about Marathon, and in a recent interview has just re-emphasized how it has long-term plans for the game. As we continue to see multiplayer games launch with plenty of excitement and hullabaloo, only to die within a year for a myriad [β¦]

Veteran game developer and Fallout co-creator Tim Cain has only just recently returned to game development full-time, but he's also kept up his personal YouTube channel, as he promised he would when he re-joined Obsidian Entertainment in December 2025. That's where his latest comments on the state of the industry that are catching several eyes come from, as he shares how the rise of social media influencers and "how the internet changed game design." Cain discusses how he's seen the video games industry, and specifically how the industry portrays video games to its audience. Anyone who follows games knows how [β¦]
Resident Evil Requiem running with NVIDIA DLSS 5 was among the most controversial showcases of the upcoming technology, if not the most controversial, as it seemed to alter Grace's character design significantly. Speaking with Eurogamer, Producer Masato Kumazawa refused to comment directly on the team's involvement in the controversial showcase, but what has been said suggests how the developer will place any tech that could alter artistic intent under heavier scrutiny in the future. "The fact a lot of players commented they really liked the original design of Grace and didn't want to see it changed was a positive," Kumazawa-san [β¦]
The launch of the PlayStation 5 Pro marked the debut of AI-powered upscaling in the console space with PSSR. While the upscaler's latest version significantly improves image quality over its launch iteration, there's a very strong chance that, on PlayStation 6, the upscaler will also deliver AI-powered frame generation, judging from the LinkedIn profile of a Senior Research Scientist at Sony Interactive Entertainment. As spotted by MP1st, Ayan Kumar Bhunia has been working on Machine Learning and Computer Vision for SIE since December 2023. One of the highlights of their experience at the company is having "spearheaded core research behind [β¦]
It looks like Take-Two and Rockstar Games are both pushing to avoid a third GTA 6 delay. Just last week, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick shrugged off delay rumors, pointing out that many people will likely take a sick day on November 19, the current release date for Grand Theft Auto 6. The toll of this final push, however, may weigh heavily on employees. On Glassdoor, a website that allows verified employees to anonymously publish reviews of their own companies, two reviews were posted last week noting this very issue. The first one went live on April 30. A former game [β¦]
Halo leaker RebsGaming reports that Halo Studios is already working on remakes for the second and third installments in the sci-fi first-person shooter franchise. Halo 2 and Halo 3 are currently in early development, presumably powered by Unreal Engine 5 like the first game's remake; this builds on a previous claim from a former Halo Studios developer, and is now backed by two additional sources, one of whom provided verification to RebsGaming and confirmed the trilogy remakes will proceed regardless of how well the upcoming Halo: Campaign Evolved performs. A separate source (the same one who leaked an unreleased Campaign [β¦]

Since Asha Sharma took over as the new chief executive officer of Xbox, the most immediate change she made was to make Xbox far more communicative than it had previously been between its executives and Xbox players. Now, that same courtesy is being extended to developers, or at least it is in a more public fashion, and it's starting with a popular topic: Project Helix.

After revealing its release date yesterday, Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds has revealed the PC system requirements for its upcoming underwater deep-sea exploration survival adventure. Overall, the requirements arrive at a sort of middle ground for today's games, but they are far above what you'd need to play the first game. So much so that depending on when you last upgraded your PC, you might have to go diving for some extra RAM just to meet its requirements for the recommended minimum settings. Subnautica 2's minimum requirements call for a base of 12GB of RAM, to play the game at [β¦]
After KRAFTON's disappearance from the Subnautica 2 Steam page spurred speculation that KRAFTON would no longer be publishing the game and that perhaps developer Unknown Worlds could be looking to split from the publisher in the future, the studio has cleared the air. In an interview with Eurogamer, two members of the Unknown Worlds team were able to provide some clarity and insight on the situation, the long and short of which is that yes, KRAFTON is still co-publishing the game. We can only speculate what will happen between Unknown Worlds and KRAFTON in the long-term now that the CEO [β¦]
