The game formerly known as just Aliens: Fireteam has been rebranded to Aliens: Fireteam Elite and it’s coming in August. We first learned about the game back in March, and it’s a co-op bug hunt that, as its title implies, draws heavy inspiration from Xenomorph-laden action of Aliens. On August 24, you and up to two […]
Sea of Thieves Gets An Original Story Starring Jack Sparrow
If you thought that Sea of Thieves was pretty neat but needed more story-based content then you weren’t alone. We loved adventuring with our buddies in the original release, but felt the content was a little thin at launch. Fortunately, Rare has done a great job supporting the game in the years since then. Now […]
Virtual Desktop Gets Synchronous Spacewarp On Quest 2
Virtual Desktop now has a beta of its own take on Facebook’s Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW) – and the extrapolation is actually better.

Facebook initially rejected […]

Fortnite Player Gets An Incredible Nine Kills In Just 15 Seconds
Although it’s not as popular as your standard Battle Royale, Fortnite’s Team Rumble mode still has a sizable – and highly active – community. A member of that community recently pulled off one of the most ridiculous feats you’ll ever see, killing nine players in the final 30 seconds of the match to pull off […]
Quest Gets Support For Faster, Sharper Loading Screens
Oculus Quests now have a system-level splash screen feature. When launching an app that uses it you should no longer just see a black screen at first. Currently when you launch a Quest app you’re greeted with an entirely black void for a few seconds while the app’s engine performs initial loading. Most developers then […]
The Sega Dreamcast Gets New Merch
Sega’s Dreamcast may have undoubtedly lost the sixth console generation, and even pushed the studio out of the market, but it did manage to win the hearts of thousands. Seen as a tragic figure—a brave final stand from Sega, which was anything but lazy—the Dreamcast has retained a cult following in the gaming community, predominantly […]
Amnesia: Rebirth On PS4 Gets Both Adventure Mode And PS5 Enhancements
Last month, developer Frictional Games released an Adventure Mode update for Amnesia: Rebirth on PC. Essentially, it rebalanced the main story to retain its creepiness factor but removed all enemies from the experience. It’s similar to the “Safe Mode” that was present in SOMA, another first-person horror title from Frictional. Said to be coming to […]
