Publisher 2K has announced its brick racing game Lego 2K Drive will be delisted from digital storefronts on PC and console starting May 19, 2026.
A message alerting players to the delisting was published on the game's Steam page and shared online today. The same text can be found on the Xbox and PlayStation Store pages.
Players will be able to purchase Lego 2K Drive digitally until it is removed from online shops, this Tuesday. Although it will remain available to play and redownload after this date, 2K added that multiplayer servers will also go offline starting May 31, 2027.

James Bond: the ultimate spy. The secret agent that other secret agents check under the bed for at night, although that’s probably less to do with their concerns about his martial arts prowess and more about his penchant for sexual congress. Hey, honey, whose Aston Martin is that in the driveway? And why is it beeping?
At any rate, conceived by WWII British Naval Intelligence officer Ian Fleming as a cocktail of the many killer elite commandos and secret agents he met during his time in the service, the iconic James Bond has clearly come a long way from his literary beginnings in 1953. Bond quickly migrated from the pages of Fleming’s novels to radio plays, comic books, and – of course – a film series that’s lasted over 60 years...
The owner of a leaked copy of Subnautica 2 appears to have accidentally revealed themselves — after contacting the game's developer for support.
Hit underwater adventure Subnautica 2 launched this week in early access, though after illegitimate and unfinished copies of the game began circulating online.
At the time, developer Unknown Worlds acknowledged in a statement to IGN that leaked copies were now being downloaded, though cautioned that these were "incomplete development versions" that "do not reflect the content or gameplay experience being prepared for the official release."
It's unclear exactly what issue the leaked copy owner contacted Unknown Worlds about, but it seems clear enough that they were trying to play an...
Fresh from its huge launch, underwater survival and crafting adventure Subnautica 2 now has an early access roadmap detailing the updates players can expect to see over the next few months.
Unknown Worlds said it’s working towards a “big drop” that will expand the world with biomes, creatures, resources, tools, vehicles, and the next chapter of the story. But in the meantime, improvements will be added to the game. The first update will include quality-of-life fixes that Unknown Worlds said “should help adjust and address some areas that need a little tweaking to make your Subnautica 2 experience even better.” The second update, meanwhile, will focus on improving the co-op experience.
Unknown Worlds stressed that the roadmap is...

James Ohlen, the former director of BioWare MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic, has discussed his exit from the storied RPG maker in 2018 — after an attempt to reboot the game that ended up squashed by publisher EA.
Ohlen was a BioWare veteran of 22 years, with a string of high profile credits on BioWare classics such as Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In more recent times, Ohlen led Archetype Entertainment, a studio staffed by several former BioWare veterans making big budget Mass Effect-like Exodus, a huge project starring Matthew McConaughey that will be eight years in the making by the time of its release in 2027.
Last year, Ohlen also moved on from Archetype — and now, he's given a...
Subnautica 2 has sold 2 million copies within 12 hours of its early access launch, developer Unknown Worlds has announced. It’s a huge start for the underwater survival and crafting adventure game after a turbulent road to release.
Peak concurrent players across all platforms Subnautica 2 launched on (PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X and S), exceeded 651,000, with Steam alone reaching a peak of more than 467,000 concurrent players. That’s nearly nine times the all-time peak concurrent player count of the original Subnautica, which launched in 2018, Unknown Worlds said.
Subnautica 2 was the most wishlisted game on Steam ahead of launch, and had enormous momentum off the back of 18.5 million sales across the...
Pearl Abyss has released a new major patch for Crimson Desert — the second this week alone — that makes yet more significant changes to the game.
There’s a lot to dig into with update 1.07.00, which adds more bosses for rematches and makes various bug fixes (patch notes, courtesy of the Crimson Desert website, are below). But perhaps the highlight here is the addition of Blinding Flash Finisher for unarmed combat with Kliff.
For the uninitiated, Blinding Flash Finisher is an essential combat skill that lets you do big damage to stunned enemies while time is slowed down. But, even better, if you hold the button down until Kliff finishes the slow-mo combo, he ends it with a hit that sends a shockwave out in all directions. This is great...
Though there has been no shortage of LEGO Batman games over the years, none have been quite as anticipated as LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and with good reason. With stunning visuals, a massive open world, and Batman Arkham-style combat and stealth mechanics, this is already shaping up to be the best Batman game in years. It might even be the best LEGO game in years, too.
From the release date through to gameplay and story details, PC specifications, pre-order bonuses, and more, here is everything you need to know about LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Release Date
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight has been officially confirmed to launch on May 22, 2026.

Marathon is attempting to broaden its playerbase with new offerings, such as a PVE-only mode. Depending on who you ask, Marathon has struck a chord with a dedicated playerbase, but may not have the wide appeal. It seems Bungie is acutely aware of the fact that it may need to expand its audience to make it more approachable and is planning on doing so.
In a massive new blog post, Bungie laid out its plans for the future of Marathon. Among the many details in it, arguably the biggest takeaway content-wise is the introduction of a brand-new PVE mode being introduced in Season 2. It's an experimental mode that won't have player-on-player combat to instead emphasize working together to complete objectives, fight UESC bots, and make progress...
Directive 8020 brings Supermassive Games’ signature brand of cinematic horror into a more action-heavy, survival-horror-flavoured space. The studio has always had a knack for tense choices, grisly consequences, and making you deeply suspicious of every dark corridor, but this time, that familiar formula is heading into sci-fi territory.
So, we’ve rounded up the best games like Directive 8020, from choice-driven horror stories to sci-fi scares, lurking threats, and games where everything can go horribly wrong very, very quickly.
1. Silent Hill f
Silent Hill f is an exceptional entry in one of horror’s most beloved series, and a great pick if what you’re after is lurking terror, unsettling imagery, and a story packed with twists and...
Cooler Master's NR2 series PCs offer plenty of gaming prowess in a compact 18-liter chassis. Because this is a premium product for a semi-niche audience, prices are usually higher than a comparably equipped gaming PC, but not always. Case in point, Amazon is currently offering the Cooler Master NR2 RTX 5070 gaming PC for $1,799.98 shipped after you apply a $400 off coupon on the product page. This brings the price in-line with other standard-sized 5070 prebuilts but you get a stylish, powerful system that won't take up much desk space.

Subnautica 2 Lures In Nearly Half a Million Concurrent Players on Steam Within First Hour of Release
Subnautica 2 has hit almost half a million concurrent players on Steam in its first hour of release. At the time of this article's publication, Subnautica 2 was on an incredible 467,000 concurrent players on Valve's platform, and developer Unknown Worlds confirmed the game had sold 1 million copies within the first hour of launch. For an early access game that released on PC and Xbox Series X and S in the middle of a weekday, these numbers are pretty huge. It's likely they will only grow from here, as word of mouth spreads and more players come online.
The critical reception to the game seems to be positive. We gave Subnautica 2's early access launch a 7/10 in our review, noting that it's fun, but it's evident the game is still a...
If you're ready to see the first-ever gameplay from Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, then today's your lucky day! In the 33-minute video above, get your first look at work-in-progress gameplay from the upcoming four-player PvE Xenomorph-hunting third-person shooter sequel, showcasing the entire Prologue mission from the first campaign.
You'll see a few different character classes in action along with various special abilities, new and returning Xenomorph types, and plenty more in the warm-up for the rest of the campaign. Keep in mind that this is work-in-progress footage, so forgive any little hitches or issues you might see. The developers at Cold Iron and Daybreak were very kind to let us jump straight in and show off this raw gameplay to...
The director of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, Naoki Hamaguchi, recognizes that there is challenge with getting younger players interested in the franchise. The Final Fantasy series has been around since the late 80s, and as a result, the audience who plays it tends to skew older than some other franchises. To a younger player who isn't familiar with Final Fantasy, they may see the large roman numerals in the title and assume they are behind on the story, not realizing that most of these games standalone. Not only that, but there are large gaps between releases, meaning Final Fantasy lacks a certain amount of relevancy for other audiences.
In an interview with Nintenderos, Hamaguchi stated that he is aware of a challenge when it...
The big Fortnite Overwatch update is here, bringing Tracer, Genji and the gang to Epic Games' battle royale Island. But the changes only begin there — with a major shakeup to gameplay, in Zero Build mode in particular.
Across Fortnite's main battle royale mode, fall damage has been made so it is no longer lethal — players instead "splat" onto the ground, and recover with 1HP. Time for some bandages!
Battle royale's Zero Build option, meanwhile, has been completely overhauled with yet more changes, such as the addition of an unlimited use "Pocket Item" randomly assigned at the beginning of matches. These items can include Shockwave Grenades, Medmist or Shield Bubbles.
Glider redeploy is back when you're leaping off high areas, and...
Whether it’s the shrunken world of Grounded or the monster-collecting hijinks of Palworld, it really only takes one great idea to make all the familiar parts of a survival game feel completely new. Subnautica did just that way back in 2014 by plunging the usual formula underwater, easily emerging as one of my favorites by the time it left Early Access in 2018. Eight years and one icy spin-off later, Subnautica 2’s own Early Access debut has once again pulled me in like an ocean current, and the game-changing addition of co-op multiplayer makes the depths a little less lonesome. Of course, with red barriers waiting for you outside of the small map that’s currently available and a short list of gear and craftables to work through, I...
Introducing Rock, Paper, Severed – a dark new horror game for 1-4 players that takes the classic game Rock, Paper, Scissors and dials it up to deadly levels. It's all presided over by the mysterious Entity. It's in development for PC and due out later this year.
It's a simple setup, but according to developer Buzzin' Games, "losing doesn’t just mean defeat; it means sacrifice. Each wrong move costs players a finger, raising the stakes with every round in a tense battle of strategy, nerve, and survival.
"Presiding over the game is the mysterious Entity, a shadowy host offering players a chance at absolution. Those who sit at the table are drawn in by the promise of wiping away their sins, but leaving is not so simple. As matches...
Co-op game Party Animals has been spammed with hundreds of negative reviews after it announced a $15,000 AI video contest.
As detailed on the game's official website, Recreate Games is running a competition, inviting short films, drama series, animations, music videos, and more on any theme as long as it's "positive" and connected to the Party Animals game.
So far, so what, right? Well, it's the next bit of the rules that's caused a little commotion.
"[AI-generated content] must be the core creative tool, including but not limited to AI-generated images, video, music, voiceovers, 3D assets, etc.," the competition insists. The winner secures a whopping $15,000, with cash awards of $1,500-4,500 also available for runner-ups.

Arc Raiders has hit 16 million sales, an incredible result for the extraction shooter that has proven so successful for developer Embark and publisher Nexon.
In its latest set of financial results, Nexon said Arc Raiders sales had been “extraordinary,” and that it was the most successful new product released in company history.
We’re now six months since the launch of Arc Raiders, and deep into its inevitable “dead game” debate despite the fact it remains one of the most played games on Steam (neither Sony nor Microsoft make player numbers public). Yes, player numbers on Valve’s platform aren’t what they were during Arc Raiders' explosive launch, but we’re still talking about a game that can regularly hit 100,000 peak concurrent...
On paper, it will always seem a little odd that it took the Forza Horizon series until the sixth game to find its way to Japan. Few countries on Earth command the same level of renown as Japan when it comes to automobile culture – the home of drifting, Daikoku PA, and one of the few cars to ever get Dominic Torretto out of a Dodge. Regardless of how you slice it, a stopover in Japan certainly feels long overdue. However, after playing Forza Horizon 6 for the last week, I can’t help but be glad developer Playground Games waited. For mine, that’s primarily thanks to the astounding step up in map quality. It goes beyond just being the biggest or the most beautiful (which it is, no doubt). Crucially, it’s also the most credible and...
Ever since they started coming out on PC, the Forza Horizon games have been some of the best PC ports around, which is a huge reason why I use them whenever I test any kind of hardware. Despite the excellent visuals that this series has given us time and time again, the games scale exceptionally well across all kinds of hardware.
Forza Horizon 6 continues this tradition. This is a game that looks incredibly good on high-end hardware, while still running quite well on low-end GPUs and handhelds. And even though most people should have no problem running this game on their PCs, I really wanted to take the chance to tweak with the settings to maximise performance while still making the game look as good as possible.
To do this, I ran the...
We can safely say that Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings MMO is dead, although the mega corp has insisted it’s still working on a new Middle-earth video game.
Confirmation comes from Eurogamer, which reported on the cancelation of the game as part of an investigation into Amazon’s push towards generative AI and subsequent widespread layoffs across its development teams.
Amazon Games boss Jeff Grattis, told Eurogamer: “Our creative team continues to explore a compelling new game experience that does justice to Tolkien's world; we are working closely with Middle-earth and remain excited about the IP.”
The Lord of the Rings MMO was thought dead back in October, when Amazon confirmed it was walking away from making new content for its MMO...
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls developer Arc System Works recently revealed that the fighting game will have an Episode Mode — a story mode aimed at casual players — told in an interactive comic book style. Various outlets originally reported that this Episode Mode wouldn't have any actual gameplay. But recent updates have confirmed that this is not the case.
In an interview with Japanese news site 4Gamer, producer Takeshi Yamanaka and director/lead battle designer Kazuto ‘Pachi’ Sekine revealed more about the game’s story mode. However, 4Gamer’s initial publication suggested that Episode Mode would only contain a Guilty Gear Strive-style cutscene-based story mode with no gameplay. But an update to the interview, added on May 13...
Marathon developer Bungie has unveiled what, exactly, will change as Season 2 begins, teasing "liberated chaos" as players "know a fresh start is just around the corner" when update 1.0.9 drops next Tuesday (May 19).
"Runners continue to pillage what isn’t theirs across Tau Ceti, and the UESC is growing tired of their criminal activities," Bungie teased. "As Season 1 comes to a close, you’ll see the first of the UESC’s renewed security efforts, with more to come when Season 2: Nightfall begins on June 2. More details about Season 2 will drop as we get closer to June 2. In the meantime, we have a couple of end-of-season updates to preview. We also want to share more details about the seasonal reset, including what you keep, what goes...
Forza Horizon 6 developer Playground has confirmed the global release times for the hotly anticipated racing game, both for its early access release and the full launch.
Confirmation comes after Forza Horizon 6 suffered a significant leak on PC that led to the game being made available to pirates well before launch. Playground and parent company Microsoft have been working to plug the leak, and even issued pirates with lifetime hardware ID bans. Some had wondered if the leak would alter Forza Horizon 6’s release plans, perhaps with it being brought forward, but that is not the case.
As confirmed in a post on social media, Forza Horizon 6’s early access launch goes ahead as planned on May 15, although on Xbox it’s playable on the...
Battlefield 6 has received a new map and it fixes one of the biggest issues with the game: a lack of airspace. Thankfully, the team behind Battlefield 6 have addressed this with its latest map, Railway to Golmud. The map is a remake of a Battlefield 4 classic and is naturally already a massive map, but even more so for pilots. The out-of-bounds area for air vehicle stretches far beyond the play area for infantry and ground vehicles, meaning you could theoretically have dogfights without having to worry about anti-air vehicles bothering you.
A core tenet of the Battlefield franchise is its emphasis on all-out warfare. Players can utilize a wide range of vehicles to battle the other team and conquer objectives, including air vehicles...
Arc Raiders has announced that it will only have two big content updates every year, much to the dismay of players. In a new blog post, Embark Studios revealed that it will release the next big Arc Raiders update, Frozen Trail, in October. This will not only add new locations to explore, but also new enemies, new expansions to the story and lore, and updates to the game's progression systems. It's clear that Embark's ambition is to deliver something expansive and deep in one burst as opposed to drip feeding content throughout the year.
The studio confirmed that it will be on a bi-annual schedule for future content updates.
"Going forward, we've made the decision to release major updates twice a year – larger in scale, more impactful...
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II launches on May 21 — alongside the Warhammer Skulls video game showcase.
Kasedo Games and Bulwark Studios’ promising turn-based strategy game is set for release across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Its release date was announced as part of a new video showing two deployable leaders, the returning Lector-Dogmatis Videx of the Adeptus Mechanicus (Warhammer 40,000’s tech priest faction) and the Necron Lord known as The Shield. Both factions are fully playable over multiple campaigns.
Warhammer Skulls, meanwhile, is confirmed for May 21 at 6pm CEST / 5pm BST / 9am PT / 12pm ET, and will bring with it updates for the likes of Space Marine 2, Darktide, and Dawn of War IV, alongside new game...
Capcom is planning for Dead Rising's future. In its latest earnings report, the Japanese games company said it plans to nuture a handful of franchises for growth, with one of them being Dead Rising.
Dead Rising is mentioned alongside the likes of Devil May Cry, Dragon's Dogma, and Okami. But what does this mean? Capcom mentions, generally, this "nurturing" of "leading brands" includes ports, remakes, and even sequels. But it's the mention of Dead Rising in all this that has sparked most debate.
Dead Rising 1 and 2 are respected survival horror games, and the third game received a decent reception as a launch title for Xbox One. However, 2016's Dead Rising 4 received mixed reviews from critics, and we haven't seen a new mainline...
