Call of Duty director David Vonderhaar has seemingly thrown shade at the new Battlefield 2042 trailer over on Twitter. This morning, EA and DICE finally pulled back the curtain on this year's new Battlefield game by not just dropping the reveal trailer, but revealing a release date and a slab of information on the PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S game. And despite the fact that the ...read more

Battlefield 2042 might not have a single player campaign, but DICE is still promising a multiplayer experience with a narrative backbone (though their statements on whether or not their climate change setting has anything important to say are a bit incongruous). And the new Specialists – an expanded take on classic Battlefield playable classes – are going to be one of the primary ways for the ...read more

While not yet officially confirmed, Battlefield 2042 may take a similar approach, offering a free-to-play onboarding element that will ease players into buying the full premium experience.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has released an emergency hotfix to tone down the battle royale's killer robot problem.

There’s a new firmware update for your PS5. Sony rolled out a new firmware update for PlayStation 5.

Seeing as there was no prior announcement, you probably already guessed that it’s another incremental update. The only official patch note is the ...read more

Activision will not reveal its new Call of Duty game during the all-digital E3 2021 event this week, VGC understands.

This year’s game is called Call of Duty: Vanguard, developed by ...read more

Ah, Phasmophobia. A horror game perfect for those who love tracking down spooks just as much as they love being chased by – and falling victim – to them. It’s seen a fair number of updates ushering in new content since it launched in early access last year, with the most recent looking to add two new Phasmophobia ghost types to the game’s beta build. Now, there’s something else on the ...read more

In the world of battle royale games, FPS is key – you want as many frames per second as you can squeeze out of your PC to make sure you’re getting silky smooth responsiveness whenever you snap your sights on an enemy. Nvidia’s DLSS can boost your framerate in Call of Duty: Warzone by using a lower-resolution base canvas, but it seems as though a side effect is that your guns’ optics may ...read more
