Xbox Layoffs Are Not Done Yet

Microsoft's "reset" of the Xbox business entered its next chapter this week with the announcement of 268 more layoffs, along with other drastic organizational and operational changes for the gaming giant. As part of the announcement, Xbox boss Matt Booty said this latest wave of restructuring, combined with the changes completed in July, brings the company up to "roughly three-quarters of the way through" the planned changes. In essence, he’s saying that the Xbox “reset” effort isn't ov

WoW: Forever Doesn’t Let Shamans Or Warlocks Tank, But That Could Change

World of Warcraft: Forever is bringing big changes to the WoW Classic sandbox, but don't expect to see Shamans or Warlocks tanking, at least at launch. New roles for classes, like the above-mentioned tanks, as well as Rogue tank and Mage healer, were something Blizzard experimented with in WoW: Classic Season of Discovery. It certainly helped solve the game's tank shortage problem, with more classes than ever before able to taunt enemies and effectively hold aggro. In an interview with Ga

Love 'em or hate 'em, if it weren't for the Sonic the Hedgehog films, the blue blur might have been canned entirely, so says series boss Takashi Iizuka

I like Sonic. He charms me! But that doesn't mean I'm a fool. I know there are very few of his games that could actually be called "good," whatever that word might mean, I just don't care. Except making not good games, and having a reputation for doing so, will obviously result in waning returns financially. So it isn't a surprise to hear from Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka that, once upon a time, the entire series was at risk of cancellation. Which is where those of you that like the games but hat

Prebuilt Steam Machine faceplate screens are here, delivering decent, surprisingly cheaper alternatives to Valve-approved DIY builds

If you own a Steam Machine, and still cling to the misconception that my budget faceplate ideas aren’t good enough for you, you basically have three options for front panel customisation. The first is to grab something off Etsy or suchlike. The second is take advantage of Valve’s open-source Inkterface project to build yourself an E-Ink display, onto which you can electronically daub performance monitoring info. The third is to end up with more or less the same panel as option two,

Pragmata Is A Dad Game Dead Space, And It’s A Must-Play That’s Now Cheaper Than Ever

Pragmata has a bit of a storied development history. It was delayed indefinitely, went missing from multiple showcases, before coming to life once again and eventually being released this year. The reveal was bizarre, the idea looked strange, and yet Capcom continues on an unstoppable roll, making hit after hit, and Pragmata was—thankfully—one of them. With a unique twist on the third-person shooter genre and an interesting take on the ‘dad game’ subgenre, Pragmata is one of my 2026 favorites,

Age of Empires 2: The Viking Sagas angespielt – So gut ist die Nordmann-Erweiterung

Wer hätte damals, als Age of Empires 2 erschien, daran gedacht, dass wir 2026 noch über offizielle neue Inhalte für den Strategie-Klassiker sprechen? Die 2019 veröffentlichte Definitive Edition ist aber auch ein mehr als guter Grund, sich noch einmal oder zum ersten Mal mit diesem Genre-Meilenstein zu befassen. Die neueste Erweiterung erklärt sich thematisch schon durch ihren Namen: The Viking Sagas – und nachdem ich ein paar Stunden damit verbracht habe, bin ich
