Blizzard's Mythic+ boosting scrub is a bandage on a design problem
Blizzard is auditing WoW's Mythic+ top-1% rankings for bought carries. Good - but a percentile bracket is a fixed number of chairs, and that's exactly why people sell seats.
Fable's Main Quest Runs 15-20 Hours - and It's Coming to PS5 Too
Playground Games put a number on Fable: roughly 15-20 hours for the main quest and about that much again in side content. And it launches 23 February 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Ledgerbound Review: The Best Tactics Game About Denying Insurance Claims
A debut tactical RPG where you fight demons and process paperwork, from ex-Helldivers 2 writers. Funnier and smarter than it has any right to be - and one of the year's genuine bargains. Score: 8/10
Rockstar says no microtransactions in GTA 6 - the catch is in two words
Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto 6 launches without microtransactions or generative AI. Great news, until you notice the 100-dollar Ultimate Edition and a physical box that ships without a disc.
GTA 6 has 600,000 animations. That's a content number, not a frame rate number.
Rockstar says GTA 6 ships with well over 600,000 unique animations - roughly 11 times GTA 5 and double Red Dead Redemption 2. Impressive art budget. But clip count isn't what tanks your 1% lows, and it's worth being precise about which part of your PC is actually going to sweat.
GTA 6 is targeting 30 FPS - and a PS5 Pro probably won't change that
Rockstar says GTA 6 is targeting 30 FPS on consoles for now, and still hasn't decided whether a 60 FPS mode happens at all. Before anyone starts saving for a Pro upgrade, it's worth understanding why more money almost certainly doesn't buy more frames here.
Star Wars Zero Company Review: Clone Wars Tactics With a Spine
Bit Reactor's turn-based Clone Wars tactics game is the sharpest Star Wars strategy in years - great combat, squadmates who actually matter, and far too much filler walking between the good bits. Score: 8/10
CD Projekt Red Promises The Witcher 4 Will Still Come in a Box, Discs or Not
Sony stops pressing discs for new PlayStation games in January 2028, but CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 4 collectors will still get something to unbox. A small promise that says a lot about who's still thinking about your shelf.
Deadlock's big update slips to late September - and the patch drought is the real story
Valve says the next Deadlock update needs more playtesting and is targeting late September. Fine by me - but seven months between major patches is what's actually eating the player graph.
One small studio gave the tariff money back. The big three kept theirs
Panic is refunding roughly twelve dollars a head to Playdate buyers after the US tariff regime was struck down. Sony reportedly got half a billion back and left prices exactly where they were - and here, we never had a claim in the first place.
Xbox's next generation isn't one console - Project Helix is a 'family of devices'
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma says Microsoft has been working on "a great family of devices" for Project Helix. More choice could be wonderful for players on a budget - or it could turn buying a console into homework.
