In 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the first record you hear on a car radio is Billie Jean, no matter what you drive. Unseen code binds this piece of music to an important point in time and the experience of being behind the wheel. When I first got my driving licence, I recreated the moment in my crappy Vauxhall Astra, so strong was the association. In video games such as GTA, as in real life, music and memories are closely interlinked.

Atmospheric horror adventure game Little Nightmares has exceeded one million sales worldwide, physical and digital combined, publisher Bandai Namco and developer Tariser Studios announced. “We’re very proud that our first original game sold so well, it’s well beyond what we ever expected,” said Tarsider Studios CEO Andreas Johnsson in a press release. “Little Nightmares is after all part of an indie game landscape, and the fact that one million players have played our game is wonderful.

Sending stuff to space is always fun, but deciding what to launch is tricky — if you have the choice. For Ronnie Doyle, his decision was a copy of Earthbound, the 1994 SNES game which has become a cult favourite in the years gone by.

As well as the expected PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, Doom Eternal is coming to Nintendo Switch. Bethesda casually let slip the news of the Nintendo version of next year's upcoming shooter in a tweet on the official Doom account. The company's 2016 Doom reboot did land on the Switch eventually, but the port only came to Nintendo players the year after those other formats.

Continued strong sales inside “Grand Theft Auto Online” alongside strong ongoing demand for “Grand Theft Auto V,” helped publisher Take-Two Interactive Software beat Wall Street expectations for revenue in its first quarter of 2019 compared to the same time period last year.

Being the much newer game with the most viewers at last month’s CEO tournament, we predicted that Dragon Ball FighterZ would take the #1 spot at the biggest fighting game event of the year, Evolution Championship Series 2018. However, Day 1 and Day 2 of Evo 2018 made it seem like that might not be the case… and surprisingly, Capcom’s Street Fighter V more than doubled FighterZ viewer counts on Twitch during the first two days of this year’s event.

Quite the accomplishment.

Touting the new gameplay features available in the upcoming fifth title in the popular fighting series, Nintendo reportedly revealed Wednesday that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will allow characters to repeatedly punch themselves in the face to freak out their opponent. “The new Smash Bros. will be the most exciting iteration yet, with five new fighters, 103 battle stages, and thrilling combos that allow characters to steadily beat themselves to a bloody pulp while their adversary slowly backs away in horror,"...

Today Hello Games is releasing something called No Man’s Sky Next. It is not a sequel to the massively ambitious 2016 game No Man’s Sky but rather the latest in an ongoing attempt to make it hew closer to what No Man’s Sky was once thought to be. This will be difficult for Hello Games to accomplish, given that, from the moment it was announced, No Man’s Sky was anticipated with the fervency of an apocalyptic death cult. Those don’t typically end well, and No Man’s Sky has struggled, to say the least.

Spanish developers Nomada Studio and publisher Devolver Digital will be launching Gris, to the Nintendo Switch and PC this December. The 2D platformer is set in a dream-like world filled with crumbling statues, towering temples and inky, shape-shifting birds. The titular heroine, a hopeful young girl, dashes and floats through the world with mesmerizing grace, her dress and blue hair blowing softly in the wind. Everything feels surreal and otherworldly, painted in watercolor shades of pink, blue, red and green. It's totally unique.

We always wanted No Man’s Sky to grow and develop after it released. I’m happy we’ve been able to do that. I am so proud of the team at Hello Games, what they did was incredible. Over the years of development the average team size was 6, the final team was just 15 people at...

60 fps support is great, but unlocked framerates that can take advantage of high refresh displays are even better. When we first got a look at the PC version of Monster Hunter World, there was a lot of talk about 4K, 60 fps performance, but we're happy to confirm that World offers an uncapped framerate option on PC. Specifically, there are three framerate options: a 30 fps cap, a 60 fps cap, and "no limit."

Creative Assembly has a history of not-so-subtle teases for upcoming games, and this time it’s Total War: Warhammer III - and more specifically, the addition of a new Chaos faction. The new game is still in the throes of pre-production, but the team is confident enough to offer a quick hint about what to expect. In a new “What the Teams are Working On” column, we get an update on the status of Warhammer 3. “Pre-production continues in earnest so lots of discussions, ideas, and concepts flying around in that area of the studio - it’s absolute Chaos.”

Games developers are removing data collecting software created by Red Shell after sleuthing players discovered it was recording their information

Rockstar Games seems to be gearing up to another marketing blitz for Red Dead Redemption 2. They have recently invited select members of the press and shown them gameplay footage from the game. There is also a good chance that they might even release a gameplay demo ahead of the game’s launch this October, although it won’t happen soon as it was the case last time they invited the press.

With a peak of 212k concurrent players back in August 2016, No Man’s Sky had one of the biggest launches of any game over the past few years on Steam. Sadly, shallow gameplay and missing features like multiplayer resulted in the player base instantly declining. And within 1 month, there were under 1k concurrent players left playing No Man’s Sky. Sean Murray and his team at Hello Games stayed silent during the games troubled launch. But surprisingly, as players requested refunds and even threatened lawsuits, the dev team kept working on adding more features, believing that their actions would eventually speak louder than words.

OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company co-founded by Elon Musk, has built a team of five neural networks capable of beating human players in the computer game 'Dota 2.' Bill Gates hailed the ability to train AIs to work in a team.

Fallout 76 will be a major step away from the norm for Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic franchise. Multiplayer is bringing a host of changes to the standard formula; where leveling is concerned, the game is introducing several new features.

On this page, you will find the complete list of games available on Nintendo eShop, across all three main regions (Europe, North America, and Japan). Of course, it’s to be updated regularly with new releases, but only when they’re available (not when they’re simply announced).

Quantum Break and Alan Wake are two Xbox titles crying out for a sequel, sequels Microsoft apparently doesn't want to make, according to Remedy. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz (via COGConnected) about Remedy's next game, Control, the Finnish independent studio discusses the fate of Alan Wake and Quantum Break, and the pain of not being in control (heh, pun) of the worlds the studio has built.
