Palworld recently celebrated its launch into 1.0 and out of early access with 27-pages of patch notes and no price hike, and the devs were rewarded with the best turnout they've seen since the game first released into early access way back in January 2024. A peak of 855,525 concurrent players turned up for the 1.0 rele...

This China-only RTX 4080 GPU combines laptop silicon with desktop hardware, and draws a fraction of the power of a more traditional graphics card
As a manufacturing hub, China sees plenty of unique hardware projects—like this gaming Megazord. But there's plenty of innovation to be found beyond one-and-done projects like this.For instance, back when the US Department of Commerce restricted the export of Nvidia's RTX 4090 cards, Chinese manufacturers got creative....
Steam Week in Review: Steam just got its first 'dopamine site', so you can fatten a fake backlog without spending a cent
Watch Dogs 2 is currently $2.50 on Steam. It's hardly a classic, but it's not terrible either. At one cent per 10 minutes of content, how can you resist? It's only five pleasantly tactile mouse clicks away.Maybe you can't resist. During Steam's seasonal sales it's possible to scoop up dozens of games for less than $5 a...
Steam Week in Review: Steam sales are the best time to hoard dozens of forgotten '90s PC gaming oddities
Even if building a gaming PC is prohibitively expensive for most people in 2026, software continues to be cheap and abundant. Valve launched its Steam Summer sale last week and all the normal things happened: Red Dead Redemption 2 got a 75% discount for the 14th time since January 2025. The Witcher 3 got its fifth 95%...
As its much newer sequel struggles, the 13-year-old Payday 2 is getting a 'massive engine upgrade' that improves performance and cuts the install size in half
Back in 2025, Starbreeze turned its venerable heist-shooter Payday 2 over to a new studio, Sidetrack Games, so it could focus exclusively on trying to salvage the still-struggling Payday 3. Today we got our first look at the fruits of those efforts, and it's big news—not for Payday 3, to be clear, but for Payday 2, whi...
PUBG's new AI teammate is somehow more useless than my friends
PUBG's new Ally Duo game mode is a creepy letdown. The battle royale game has a limited-time experience right now that pairs you up with an LLM-powered teammate, Ella, who, on paper, behaves (and chats) like a regular human. It calls out enemy players, shoots at said players, and tells me every five minutes that it's j...

PUBG now has genAI team mates capable of "intelligent decision-making", and I must remind you that Krafton are working on bots for the military
PUBG: Battlegrounds – aka Plunkbat – is getting generative AI team mates in the shape of PUBG Ally Duo, which is available now in beta. The new functionality uses Nvidia tech to simulate "autonomous game characters that use AI to perceive, plan, and take action within their environment". They also have spee...
PlayerUnknown's survival game becomes free-to-own and offers Steam refunds 'without restrictions on playtime or how long ago you bought the game'
Normally a game leaving early access would be cause for celebration, but I daresay that's not the case for Prologue: Go Wayback! It left early access on Steam today, but it's also doing so in an unfinished state with no plans for further development.The open world survival game from PlayerUnknown Productions launched i...
