Microsoft is changing how one of its biggest gaming services works, and it’s a move that’s likely to get mixed reactions. Going forward, new entries in the Call of Duty series won’t be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. Instead, players will have to wait close to a year, with those titles expected to land on the service during the following holiday period. For a platform that built much of its appeal around day one access to major releases, this is a noticeable shift. Current Call of Duty titles aren’t going anywhere and will stay in the library, but…

Battlefield 6 is going back to one of its most loved maps, but not without making some meaningful changes along the way. Season 3 will introduce Railway to Golmud, a fresh take on the classic Golmud Railway from Battlefield 4, and it’s clear the developers are aiming to do more than just update the visuals. The original map had a reputation for its massive scale and vehicle-heavy battles, but what really made it stand out was the moving train objective. That feature is returning, though it’s been adjusted quite a bit to better fit how matches play out now. The…

After a long wait and plenty of uncertainty, Subnautica 2 now has a confirmed early access release date. The game is set to arrive on May 14, 2026, at 8 AM PT for PC and Xbox Series X|S. For a sequel that’s been talked about for years, this feels like a moment fans weren’t entirely sure would come this soon. It will launch at $29.99, which puts it on the more affordable side compared to other titles releasing around the same time. Even with a crowded release window featuring bigger franchise names, Subnautica 2 offers something different, leaning more into…

If you’ve been trying to unlock the Black Reaper fighting style in Sailor Piece, you’ve probably already heard about the Reaper Key. It’s one of those items that sounds simple to get at first, but once you actually start farming for it, you realize the grind can take a while if you don’t know what you’re doing. A lot of players end up searching the wrong islands or fighting random enemies hoping the key will eventually drop. Unfortunately, the game is much more specific than that. The Reaper Key only comes from one area, and getting there takes a bit…

Konami is once again experimenting with crossovers, and this time it brings a familiar anime world into its football universe. The latest update for eFootball introduces a limited-time collaboration with Naruto Shippuden, adding a different kind of energy to the game. Released alongside version 5.4.1 on April 30, the event runs until May 14 and focuses more on themed content than core gameplay changes. The biggest attraction is the introduction of Naruto-inspired Epic cards. These aren’t just cosmetic tweaks, they mix real-world footballers with visual elements and effects pulled from the anime. Players can collect special versions of familiar names…

When Warhorse Studios announced they were working on a new The Lord of the Rings RPG, it captured the attention of many fans immediately. After what the studio accomplished with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, there’s a real feeling that this could turn out to be one of the most immersive fantasy RPGs in years. What makes the project even more interesting is that Warhorse already seems to understand one of the biggest issues modern open world games keep running into. Many open world games these days have trouble making exploration actually exciting. Massive maps are often littered with endless markers, repetitive…

Gaming monitors have made huge strides in the past few years, but Samsung Electronics may have just taken it to a whole new level with its latest Odyssey lineup. The company officially announced its 2026 gaming and professional monitor line-up, and one announcement stood out above all the rest. Samsung says it has made the world’s first 6K gaming monitor. That title belongs to the new 32 inch Samsung Odyssey G8 G80HS, a display that sounds more experimental than a monitor people will actually be able to buy this year. The screen has a refresh rate of 165Hz and can…

If the latest rumours are to be believed, Nintendo fans may finally be getting two of Rockstar Games’ biggest titles on a handheld system. Many players at one point thought Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) and Red Dead Redemption 2 would never be possible on Nintendo hardware, but developer reports and comments have sparked speculation that they may one day come to the Nintendo Switch 2. Neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two Interactive have made any official announcement yet, but the conversation started after Virtuos’ technical director Andy Fong’s comments. The studio has already worked on bringing L.A. Noire to…

There’s been a lot of speculation of late as to what NetherRealm Studios is working on next, and the latest rumours suggest it’s not a simple sequel. Most had expected Injustice 3 to follow the same path as the first two games, but new reports point to something that could feel very different. It’s understandable that attention has turned with Mortal Kombat 1 nearing the end of its life cycle. Hints have been dropped before, with voice actors and internal references hinting at Injustice 3 being in development. That hasn’t changed that much. What’s changed is what the game might…

It’s been over a decade since Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag first dropped players into the life of a pirate, and for many, it still stands as one of the series’ high points. Now, Ubisoft is bringing it back with Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, a remake built for modern hardware that’s set to launch on PlayStation 5 on July 9. What stands out straight away is how much of the original has been kept intact. The story still follows Edward Kenway, a character who sits somewhere between rogue and reluctant hero, and that same journey across the Caribbean remains…
