In the wake of its spaceport-stroming Thargoid invasion last year, Elite Dangerous rolled out Beyond—the first part of the online space ’em up’s third season. Now, Beyond Chapter Two has a launch date: June 28.  With it comes the Alliance Challenger, billed as "the Alliance’s newest Chieftain variant", as well as a handful of new […]

In my insignificant opinion, Sumo Digital’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is the best modern kart racer, and Mario Kart 7 can get lost. So it’s great news that the same studio is developing a brand new Sonic racer in the form of Team Sonic Racing. As the name suggests, players will race in teams, […]

SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics has received a new update, ushering in a bunch of new features well worth checking out. The first of these is VR support: you can now play Phantasy Star in VR, though the experience is about inhabiting a retro-themed bedroom where a ye olde CRT monitor displays the game, […]

Update: It looks like Bethesda is live on Twitch too, though all we’re seeing at the moment is the same image teased on Twitter with a plastic Pip-Boy standing in the foreground. Whether the image will idle for minutes or days, we’re not sure, but if you want something other than a crackling fireplace as […]

Alongside December’s Doomsday Heist, GTA Online introduced Blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM—a Frank Ocean-hosted radio station, that marked the game’s first new music in over two years. Now, it appears Rockstar is lining up some new beats by way of techno DJs Tale of Us, The Black Madonna, Solomun and Dixon.  As reported by Resident […]

Surviving Mars’ domes, in which your colonists live, are one of my favourite things about the game. They’re full of colour and light and really stand out from the dusty backdrop of the Red Planet. In an update on Monday, developer Haemimont Games will add five more dome types of various shapes and sizes, and […]

Asus and Acer are each planning to release an IPS 27-inch 4K monitor with a fast 144Hz refresh rate (overclocked) and support for both HDR visuals and Nvidia’s G-Sync technology—ROG Swift PG27UQ and Predator X27, respectively—and both are slated to arrive this summer. However, it looks like Asus is aiming to beat Acer to market […]

Expand your game with the best Sims 4 mods. I cannot write or even think about The Sims 4 without picturing our Chris lovingly hugging a red panda. Look how content he looks. Perhaps he’s just caught wind of The Sim’s 4’s latest Seasons expansion—which adds four weather-driven seasons, and lets you craft your own […]

AMD has begun dishing out is Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.5.1 driver release with improved support for the April 2018 Update for Windows 10, along with support for PlayReady 3.0 and ‘Raven Ridge’ Ryzen APUs. PlayReady 3.0 is a Microsoft DRM scheme that is required to stream Netflix content in 4K and HDR. This latest […]

We Happy Few was refused classification by the Australian Classification Board earlier this week, meaning it won’t be available to purchase in the country. Since then, the board has issued a statement to us about why it was banned (more on that later), and today studio Compulsion Games has advised players how they plan to […]
