Meta is bringing Pocket, its experimental AI-powered app for creating and sharing interactive games, to users across the U.S. after quietly testing it in Brazil.

The Duskbloods is a world away from the approachable games Nintendo is known for. But for its next Switch 2 exclusive, the company has partnered with Elden Ring developer FromSoftware on a hardcore multiplayer game about vampires. And after spending a few hours playing through its gothic world at FromSoft's offices in Tokyo, I'm convinced […]

There's something just a little bit different about FromSoftware's office in Tokyo. Like with any other successful video game studio, there's extensive security to get in the door, a minimalist lobby with framed posters from the studio's most recent releases, and a large glass display case filled with statues from ceremonies ranging from the BAFTAs […]

There's nothing else going on that day, right?

Eight leaked Steam Frame videos are informative and kinda silly.

Valve just leaked several new videos showing the Steam Frame's unboxing, setup process, and various accessories. The videos apparently appeared on the ARM Steam client following an update, but they were "quickly pulled after that," according to the Steam Hardware Updates account on X. The Steam Frame is Valve's virtual-reality headset that can stream games […]

New gaming studio Black Pony Immersive has veterans from Arkane, Insomniac and Epic.

Clips of what appears to be Grand Theft Auto VI have hit the internet, possibly spoiling aspects of the game ahead of Rockstar Games' deep dive debuting on Netflix next week and its long-awaited launch in November. I've seen three clips seemingly showing off the game, though two have been pulled from the site I […]

Most fantasy sports leagues suffer the same problem: retention. Leagues play out over monthslong seasons, require regular attention, and can punish players severely for missing even a single week. I've started Fantasy Premier League (FPL) multiple times, but never finished a season. That's a problem for any fantasy league, but especially so for a new […]

The creator of Deus Ex is retiring.

For most of Linux gaming's history, the story has been the same: Linux users want to play games, game companies don't care about Linux users, and the community builds its own tools to bridge the gap. Valve changed that with Proton and the Steam Deck. But the storefronts held out. Epic, GOG, and Microsoft all stayed away from native Linux support, leaving their games accessible only through community-built launchers or not at all. That's changing. Three things happened this month that point to a tipping point. Epic Games is building a native Linux launcher In a Discord AMA reported by GamingOnLinux on August 14, 2026, an Epic Games developer confirmed that a native Linux version of the Epic Games Store launcher is coming "soon." Not for the preview release of the upcoming store overhaul, but after that. The developer's exact words, screenshotted from Discord: "Soon <-- but not for the preview release. As you can imagine, we need to do more than simply have a build of the launcher that can run natively on Linux." This isn't a vague promise from a community manager. It's a developer in an AMA saying the work is happening. Epic was also recently hiring a Security Engineer to champion Linux anti-cheat, which suggests broader plans for Linux support beyond just the launcher. The context matters. Epic has been the holdout. Tim Sweeney has historically been dismissive of Linux as a gaming platform, and Epic's anti-cheat (BattlEye, Easy Anti-Cheat) has been a recurring blocker for Linux compatibility even when games would otherwise run fine through Proton. A native launcher doesn't solve the anti-cheat problem, but it signals a shift in how Epic views the platform. GOG is working on a Linux version of GOG Galaxy GOG separately confirmed to GamingOnLinux that work is in progress on a Linux version of GOG Galaxy. No timeline, no details, just confirmation that it's happening. GOG is a smaller player than Epic, but they matter for a different reason: they're the DRM-free storef

Two legit-seeming clips and a world map are out there, if you know where to look.

While many gaming headsets come with extra features, the tradeoff is that they’re often uncomfortable and heavy.

You don't need to have a perfectly preserved copy to fetch cash for your old games. But you need to consider these factors that impact their worth.

The universe may never tell you if your choices mattered. Owlcat’s Osiris Reborn might not either.

Like many of us, Sam Rosenthal plays games like Wordle every day, chasing after good scores and sharing the results with friends and family. But he's also a game designer, the creative director at Blaseball developer The Game Band, and so this regular habit got him thinking about what else could be done in the […]
