The successor to the Elite Series 2 appears set to offer more durable thumbsticks, advanced haptics, and a wide range of customization options across multiple versions. Details briefly appeared in the Xbox Design Lab backend before being taken offline. As spotted by Reddit user...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will offer a variety of experiences, including multiplayer, campaign, and more, but the return of DMZ is probably the most interesting one. Activision has released a deep dive into the mode, revealing new details about the Hajin Exclusion Zone and the gameplay mechanics. DMZ will launch alongside Modern Warfare 4 on October 23 as a persistent, open-world combat experience. It's been described as "the definitive extraction shooter experience", where players will gather resources, complete missions, battle...

"AI is not a replacement for humans." That's the line Capcom chose to close on during an open conference for engineers and industry press on October 2nd, 2026, and in a year where AI has become one of the most contentious subjects in game development, it's a statement that was clearly meant to be heard.  The occasion was a deep dive into the future of RE Engine, the internal tool Capcom has used across nearly every major release for roughly...

Motocross fans do not remember a race only by who crossed the finish line first. Sometimes what sticks with you is a rut deep enough to carry you through a corner, a clean scrub over the crest of a jump, or that brief moment when the rear tire slides before finding grip again. MXGP 26 - The Official Game seems to understand that appeal quite well. Rather than simply placing a new season on top of the old foundation, Artefacts...

A world without humans usually brings to mind ruined cities, danger, and a constant struggle for survival. The Merlies looks at that idea from a completely different angle. Nature is slowly reclaiming the remains of an old civilization, while among the enormous objects left behind, a flock of tiny birds is simply trying to find each other again and build a place to call home. With no combat and no tense boss battles, the game instead makes curiosity, cooperation, and...

The Locust are coming. Again. But this time, players get to experience the catastrophe that started it all. Gears of War: E-Day will be available to play tomorrow, October 6, on Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game is set 14 years before the original Gears of War, and it allows players to experience the Emergence Day through the eyes of younger Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. That premise might sound like an excuse to revisit familiar territory, but The Coalition has taken...

Halloween is always a particularly busy time for Dead by Daylight, and this year is no exception. The Hallowed Blight Collection returned at the beginning of October, bringing new looks to several familiar Killers. But behind the festive horror theme, Behaviour Interactive is also preparing something far more significant on the gameplay side. Update 10.2.0 has been going through its PTB phase since mid-September, and with its Live release drawing closer, the developer is continuing to adjust several elements that...

The Star Wars universe has never been short of stories, but there is one particular corner of the galaxy that has always had enormous potential: the one where everyone just cares about going ridiculously fast. STAR WARS: Galactic Racer takes that idea and turns it into an arcade racing experience, showing that a Star Wars game does not need lightsabers, Jedi or Sith to feel authentic. STAR WARS: Galactic Racer arrives tomorrow for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Instead of...

If October has you craving some old-school horror, Humble has put together a collection of Capcom classics that should scratch that retro itch. The Capcom Classics Bundle brings six games from the publisher's PlayStation-era catalog, including several beloved survival horror titles and a classic JRPG, with access starting at $10. The cheaper tier gives you three games, all from the Resident Evil series. For $10 (about €8.60 / £7.40), you can revisit the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2,...

Windows XP is long past its prime, but modders continue to find new ways to keep the aging operating system relevant. The latest effort brings Nvidia Pascal graphics cards, including the powerful Titan Xp, to an OS that officially stopped supporting newer GPUs years ago. Modder SupraGSX has released an unofficial Nvidia driver called ForceWare 382.69, which is based on Nvidia's GeForce 368.69 driver and has been modified to work with 32-bit versions of Windows XP. The...

This week, two very different blockbusters arrive with plenty to prove: Gears of War: E-Day takes players back to the bloody beginning of the Locust invasion, while STAR WARS: Galactic Racer puts the galaxy's most recognizable universe behind the wheel. And just when things seem to be settling down, Dragon's Dogma II: Dark Arisen Expansion arrives to drag adventurers back into the wilderness. Those are undoubtedly the biggest attractions of the week, but they are far from the only new games...
