Ubisoft are ending game development at long-time Tom Clancy studio Red Storm with 105 staff laid off, according to reports

Ubisoft have reportedly laid off all of the game developers at Red Storm Entertainment, with the long-time Tom Clancy studio being repurposed from a place where games are developed to a place that just provides behind-the-scenes tech support. 105 staff have lost their jobs in this downsizing, which follows the cancellation of Red Storm's The Division Heartland in 2024.

Join the circus and swing an election in Moves of the Diamond Hand, the RPG follow-up to Betrayal at Club Low, which hits PC early access in April

Cosmo D's heady jazz noir RPG Moves Of The Diamond Hand will launch into Steam Early Access on April 13th, the day after I return from holiday. You don't need to hear about my holiday plans, which involve scree slopes and deterioriating knee cartilage. You do need to hear about Moves of the Diamond Hand. It's the grander follow-up to Betrayal At Club Low, which Alice O (RPS in peace) called "a delicious snack-sized espionage RPG". The early access launch will feature the first two chapters of t

Former Mount & Blade modders are making Kinstrife, a medieval mosh pitter set in 13th century Germany

Arrrrrrrrrghhhh. Slash. Thunk. Well, we're a man down. It's a good thing that in the genre of strategy sandboxes built on massive medieval melees, there's always someone else about to wander into the frey. Cue the entrance of Kinstrife, a Mount & Bladey game built by former Mount & Blade modders who fancied bringing the hack and slashing to 1200s Germany, with its wandering knights and powerful robber barons.

The steam train world speed record has stood for 87 years: yes, you can beat it in the new Thomas the Tank Engine game

He's a really useful engine. So sayeth the sacred texts surrounding star of at least one million mods Thomas the Tank Engine. He's also a really fast engine. Or, at least one of his mates is. So demonstrateth the social media clips I've been watching of folks going as fast as possible in Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor. One of them's confirmed that it's possible to beat the real life world speed record for steam trains - which has stood since 1938 - in the freshly released train game. Read

Our favourite, huge power bank for the Steam Deck is down to ÂŁ52/$80 from Amazon

The Ugreen Nexode Retractable is our most favouritest Steam Deck power bank, as James decreed with his testing, and by spending his hard-earned money on it – and if it's good enough to earn a top recommendation here, then it's worth you giving it a look over. £52 is a good price for this unit from Amazon, and a price it strangely wasn't during Amazon's Spring Sale last week. In the USA, it's $80 - a 20% reduction on its $100 MSRP. It has sat at this price for the last couple of week

Who'd have thought - Amazon Resale is the place to get an Nvidia GPU for a somewhat reasonable price

Amazon Resale (formerly the Amazon Warehouse) can occasionally throw up a decent deal on computing hardware, just as long as you don't mind a damaged box or perhaps a missing manual. In this instance, it's allowing for this MSI RTX 5070 Ventus 3X graphics card to drop down to below its MSRP - an actual discount down to £449 for a 'Used - Like New' card - something that seems very rare, given the current RAM crisis and such.
