PC gaming is one of the fastest-growing landscapes in the games industry right now. With major storefronts like Steam leading the way, developers are pushing to prioritize PC as a platform and accommodate hundreds of millions of users each month. Purchasing a good gaming PC is a major investment that can cost you as much as you want it to. There are thousands of options, each ranging from $500 to over $10,000. This is a benefit of looking for a PC versus a console, as you can spend as little or as much as you'd like. Go for that budget PC or reach for the stars with a top-of-the-line model.
It's important to keep in mind that technology, specifically PC components, is always evolving. New hardware releases each week, which leads to...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may come to last-gen consoles if new leaked details are to be believed.
An image shared by a Reddit user earlier today (via CharlieIntel) reveals what seems to be GameStop pre-order information for this year’s Call of Duty. As the picture shows, options for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and, most notably, PS4 are included in the list of copies available for purchase.
If the image is accurate, it means Black Ops 6 will be available on a console that originally launched in 2013.
Insider Gaming says its sources were able to verify the image, suggesting that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be coming to last-gen consoles. Notably, the image does not mention Xbox One, but the site adds that the Xbox Series...
Call of Duty publisher Activision and Facebook and Instagram owner Meta are being sued in a new suit filed today by several families of victims of the 2022 Uvalde elementary school shooting, The New York Times reports today.
The lawsuit, filed in California, comes alongside an additional suit filed in Texas targeting the manufacturer of the gunman's AR-15-style rifle, Daniel Defense. Both suits arrive on the two-year anniversary of the shooting, in which 19 children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School. The documents claim that Activision, Meta, and Daniel Defense each took part in "grooming" the gunman to be a mass shooter.
Activision and Meta are being sued, essentially, for the roles the documents allege they...
XDefiant is an FPS with an identity crisis. This arcade-style arena shooter pulls characters and locations from various Ubisoft games, and it feels a little bit like a lot of different things as a result: It's fast and twitchy in a way that’s similar to games like Call of Duty, but has class abilities that might put it closer to something like Overwatch. It’s got fast respawns and faster deaths, but offers objective-based modes that prioritize teamwork over straight killcount. That combination of disparate elements helps XDefiant play a little differently overall from most competitive shooters, but it also makes it feel a bit jumbled, like its parts aren’t always working together toward the same goals.
Call of Duty figured out the fun...
Some of the people who ordered the physical Deluxe Edition of Baldur's Gate 3 — specifically, those in North America who ordered PlayStation 5 copies — will have to wait just a little bit longer.
In a statement today, developer Larian Studios announced that fans who pre-ordered PS5 North American Deluxe Editions won't get their hands on them until July due to "more production issues."
"Due to production changes outside of our control, we have had to follow certain processes specifically set by production companies when manufacturing the PS5 discs, and unfortunately, the approval for particular regions has taken much longer than expected," Larian explained in the statement on X/Twitter, which you can read in full below.
Larian went...
Bethesda and id Software’s next Doom game is reportedly called Doom: The Dark Ages and is expected to be revealed at next month’s Xbox Games Showcase, according to Insider Gaming.
A report from the site says fans will see the next entry in the classic first-person shooter franchise when Microsoft holds its gaming event come June 9. It adds that the title has been in development for at least four years and judging by early details from last year, it may feature a medieval theme.

XDefiant launched its pre-season this week and Ubisoft’s free-to-play first-person Call of Duty competitor appears to be going down well with competitive shooter fans hankering for an old-school experience. But there’s one issue with the game that sticks out more than any other: hit registration.
Hit registration is a video game’s ability to detect the impact of projectiles accuracy. Soon after XDefiant launched this week across PC via Ubisoft Connect, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, players took to social media, subreddits and Discord to say the game was doing a poor job of hit registration, letting characters avoid fire more than they’re used to in other similar games.
Redditor ChuckedBankForFbow called XDefiant’s hit...
Cardy, Matt, and Mat are here this week to talk about cursed meals they've eaten. Before all of that, though, there are thoughts on the madness that is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, why Hellblade 2 isn't quite working for them, the intriguing concept behind sci-fi survival game The Alters, and another of Cardy's foreign film recommendations in the shape of Hirokazu Kore-eda's Monster.
As ever, there’s also the regular dose of madness thanks to your feedback, including multiple unseasoned ground beef recipes.
Send in your food nonsense to ign_ukfeedback@ign.com (or questions and thoughts about games, TV, and films – we should probably stay on topic at least 60% of the time).

Jan Dolski is marooned on an alien planet, tasked with piloting a hulking mobile laboratory shaped like a giant wheel. If he doesn’t keep it moving, the planet's orbit will catch up with him and he’ll burn in the heat of a nearby sun. It takes a whole team of specialists to keep the base running, but Jan is all by himself. So, there's only one thing to do: make more Jans. Not clones, but alternate Jans birthed from alternative realities. He must learn to work with these Jans and, in the process, may end up learning more about himself. This is the crux of The Alters, an introspective survival game about self-discovery as much as it is about seeking an escape plan from an alien planet.
My gameplay demo began with being tasked to gather...
Wuthering Waves’ global launch is suffering from a number of technical issues that have forced developer Kuro Games to issue an apology and offer compensation, but this latest exploit left some players hoping it sticks around for as long as possible.
Wuthering Waves is an open-world Genshin Impact-style Gacha game from Chinese studio Kuro that launched globally in free-to-play form across PC and mobile this week.
As revealed in a number of gameplay clips posted to Chinese video-sharing website Bilibili, Wuthering Waves players soon worked out that by manually changing the date in their system time settings after logging into the game, they were able to access an upcoming playable character called Yinlin.
This appears to only unlock...
The developer behind Wuthering Waves has apologized for its rocky launch and offered players compensation.
Wuthering Waves is an open-world Genshin Impact-style Gacha game from Chinese developer Kuro that launched globally in free-to-play form across PC and mobile this week.

The scale of the technical issues is laid out in a post on the...
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League developer Rocksteady has teased the introduction of Mrs. Freeze with a chilly change to the game world made by the latest patch.
Players spotted the small tease for Season 2 following the release of this week’s Season 1 - Episode 2 update. The clip, published by the Arkham Videos X/Twitter account, shows an icy section of Metropolis alongside an advert for Ho-Ho Frozen Chicken Bites.
Rocksteady has yet to announce Season 2 or what it will add to the game, but it is expected to launch with a new playable character. Season 1 added Joker to the live service co-op shooter.
The addition of Mrs. Freeze won’t come as much of a surprise to Kill the Justice League’s core fanbase, given datamining has...

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked has been revealed and its Battle Pass will let players unlock Fallout's T-60 Power Armor and, later in the season, the Wastelander Magneto Outfit.
This latest season of Fortnite is available today, May 24, and brings a literal wasteland into the Battle Royale. Following a sandstorm, a new biome was created in the south called wasteland and "Wasteland Warriors" have claimed the area for their own.

Well-received turn-based tactical Warhammer 40,000 game Mechanicus is getting a sequel, announced at the Warhammer Skulls showcase alongside a debut trailer.
Mechanicus is a 2018 strategy game that revolves around the Adeptus Mechanicus, Warhammer 40,000’s popular Machine God-worshiping, technology-obsessed Imperium-aligned faction.
Publisher Kasedo Games and developer Bulwark Studios said Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 lets you play as the Necrons, Warhammer 40,000’s deathless killer robot faction, or the Adeptus Mechanicus. Here’s the official blurb:
Both the Necrons and the Adeptus Mechanicus are fully playable over multiple campaigns, Kasedo said. You manage your territories’ garrisons and assemble forces for each mission...

Bungie has given fans their first listen of Keith David as Commander Zavala in Destiny 2 following the passing of his original actor, Lance Reddick, last March.
The short peek at this new chapter for the Guardian figurehead arrived in a Destiny 2 ViDoc earlier today. The nine-minute video, titled Becoming Legend – Part 1: Confronting Oblivion, offers just a few, somber lines that highlight David’s proud-yet-gravely delivery.
“I used to think I’d give anything to bring you back,” Commander Zavala says in one section. In another moment, he says, “I won’t lose another soldier in this war.” Both clips were captured and shared by @DestinyBulletn on X/Twitter.
Reddick, who had portrayed the commander since his introduction in 2017...
Owlcat Games has revealed the first DLC expansion for its well-received role-playing game Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader at the Warhammer Skulls showcase.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader launched in December 2023 on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, together with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and X, and was met with positive reviews from players and critics. IGN’s Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader review returned an 8/10. We said: “Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is an ultra crunchy, 130-hour space epic with excellent writing and combat, but unfortunately, also a lot of bugs.”
Now, half a year later, Owlcat has announced Void Shadows, Rogue Trader’s first DLC. According to the developer, the expansion adds 15 hours of new...

Space Marine 2’s PVP pits Space Marines against Chaos Marines in three 6V6 PVP modes: Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture & Control.

Meanwhile, Space Marine 2...
Helldivers 2 has a new Major Order, and players will definitely want to complete this one.
Developer Arrowhead has updated the PC and PlayStation 5 co-op shooter with the next stage of the ongoing Galactic War. In short, if the community liberates an Automaton planet it will unlock a new mech with dual autocannons.
Of course, Helldivers 2 has a Democracy-fueled in-universe set-up for all this. The Automatons have a ‘Petafactory’ that must be liberated so it can be repurposed to produce the dual-Autocannon EXO-49 EMANCIPATOR EXOSUIT. What that means is Helldivers 2 players now have five days to liberate Varylia 5. Chop chop!
Arrowhead tied the launch of Helldivers 2’s first mech to a collective effort, so it’s no surprise to see it...

Though the nature of June's showcase onslaught continues to change, one company remains consistently wacky as ever: Devolver Digital. The publisher has announced it will hold another June showcase this year on June 7 at 5:00p.m. Pacific Time, and this year it's birthday party-themed.
The showcase will supposedly celebrate the 15th birthday of Devolver Digital's mascot Volvy, a weird little guy that Devolver introduced last year in its 2023 showcase as a gag on the idea of a retro mascot making a return. Devolver Digital itself, as a company, turns 15 on June 25 of this year.
In celebration of, well, something's birthday, Devolver promises to shower "partygoers with a big handful of gaming gifts, including updates and release dates...

Mad Max franchise director George Miller has said he would only be interested in adding another video game to the franchise if it could be made to "the highest level" by someone like Hideo Kojima.
Speaking to GAMINGbible on the red carpet for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller named Kojima the ideal candidate to take on a video game adaptation of the film series but admitted that he would "never ask" the legendary games designer to take on such a project because he has "so much fantastic stuff in his own head".
Miller also referenced the Mad Max video game that came out in 2015, saying he thinks they could level up on it if they were to make another. "It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be," Miller candidly admitted before adding, "I'm...
Almost two years after my open beta review and about a year since it was put on hiatus and taken offline, MultiVersus is finally coming back. Last week, I was given early access to this new and improved version for a handful of days, which included cool new fighters, interesting new stages, and even a brand-new single-player mode. Those additions are mostly great, but some changes to the pace of matches and some prevalent network troubles did make my return to Warner Bros. Games’ free-to-play fighter a little bittersweet. My minimal time with it means I’ll need to play lots more after its full release next week before I can make a final judgment, but so far MultiVersus is still a fun time with deep combat for those who want to work...
The Alone in the Dark reboot failed to meet sales expectations at the embattled Embracer Group, it has said.
In a financial report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, Embracer said Alone in the Dark and Outcast: A New Beginning both endured “a softer-than-expected performance” and “performed below management expectations.” That’s corporate speak for failed to sell the required number of units to make money.
Alone in the Dark launched in March as a reimagination of the famous franchise and “a love letter to the 90’s cult classic horror game.” It featured performances from high-profile Hollywood actors Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow) in their first video game roles, complete...
