This year, that includes the new trailer for the Metro Exodus Spartan Collector’s Edition which you can watch above if you missed it during the show. In Metro Exodus, Artyom and a band of survivors must flee the shattered ruins of the Moscow Metro and embark on an epic, continent-spanning journey across the post-apocalyptic Russian wilderness. Metro Exodus is the third in the Metro videogame series, developed by 4A Games and inspired by the novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky. If you want to get your ha

As intricate and laborious as Fallout 76’s nuke-launching system is, shrewd players are already finding shortcuts. NukaCrypt lets you punch in a partial launch keyword and the nuke code letters and numbers you’ve collected, and spits out possible codes that will get your nuke in the air. Fallout 76’s nuke codes are decrypted using a keyword cypher based on a unique word that changes every week. In this video, for example, a player received 18 possible codes from NukaCrypt (and he and his friends

If you were watching the Golden Joystick Awards, and let’s be honest, why wouldn’t you be, you’ve already been treated to the latest trailer for the breathtaking Gris. The latest trailer gives us just over a minute of the game as we follow Gris through a variety of different environments. Cold and stark landscapes move into areas with more vibrant colours, and enchanting moonlit vistas make Gris look tiny and insignificant. The accompanying piano score is also quick to build a pleasing, and goos

The Golden Joystick Awards are upon us again and if you’ve been keeping up with the live stream, you’ll have caught the new Hitman 2 Accolades trailer. Hitman 2 launched this week and the Accolades trailer is all about how to kill in the most creative and sneaky way possible. The trailer shows off the variety of ways that you’re able to take out your marks. Hitman 2 treats us to the colourful environments of various locations, including Miami, Colombia, and New Zealand. You can find the rest of

The Golden Joystick Awards have given us another glimpse into the twisted world of The Sinking City. Don’t panic if you missed it, we have the new trailer right here so you can watch as many times as your sanity allows. The trailer begins with a bedraggled Charles Reed gaining consciousness on the dockside in—what is presumably—the city of Oakmont. The Sinking City is an upcoming “investigative action-adventure” game from Ukrainian developer Frogwares and published by Bigben Interactive. The Sin

The Golden Joystick Awards are upon us again, treating us to a handful of exciting new trailers for a number of upcoming games. If you’ve been watching the show, you will have seen the new trailer for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown but if you missed it, you can check it out here. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a combat flight sim and was announced for PC early last year, coming as a bit of a surprise as previous titles, bar one, have remained console only titles. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is set

Today, at the Hi-Rez Expo, Hi-Rez Studios announced that most of its games would introduce cross-platform play soon, no longer locking players behind impenetrable walls. Smite, Paladins and Realm Royale, which is still in early access, will all include cross-play. Players of god-bashing MOBA Smite and multiplayer fantasy shooter Paladins will be able to access all of characters and progression on PC, Xbox One and Switch, and everyone will be able to play together. Hi-Rez says it will be coming t

We’re seeing similar price cuts on other popular RAM kits . This Black Friday and Cyber Monday, RAM should hit prices that we haven’t seen since early 2017. As we head into Black Friday week, 16GB memory kits (2x8GB) start at around $100, and this is only the beginning. What to expect from RAM deals on Black Friday and Cyber MondayLast year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday occurred in the middle of global memory shortages, leading to rather underwhelming sales.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus launched on Steam yesterday evening, and while a Warhammer game launching would normally be just another Thursday, Mechanicus is a bit of a novelty. Instead of being full of great big Space Marines and the things Space Marines fight, typically Orks and Chaos, it’s all about the much more enigmatic Adeptus Mechanicus and their complicated relationship with technology, both alien and ancient. And thank goodness it couldn’t be more different from the horribly slow (and

Valve’s making its very own card game, Artifact, set in the Dota 2 universe, and gosh does it look complicated, at least at a glance. Not to worry, though, as Artifact isn’t as hard to play as it looks. If you’re still not convinced, we’ve got Chris Thursten on hand to break down why you should be excited about the upcoming CCG. While you’re waiting to get your hands on the cover feature, why not get up to speed with Artifact’s updated FAQ? Issue 324 is on shelves now and available on all your d

With the release of Hitman 2, I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a good Hitman mission. Chasing a Ghost — Hitman 2Arguably the most experimental of Hitman 2’s missions, in that one of the targets is unidentified. Often the more circuitous routes of a modern Hitman level only really come into play during a Suit Only challenge run. The Meat King’s Party — Hitman: ContractsMost Hitman levels have a dark undercurrent—some throughline of evil that justifies 47’s presence. And some, like Curtai

The Golden Joystick Awards are imminent, kicking off this afternoon at 4.00pm GMT/8.00am PST/11.00am EST. Voting is over, so now all that remains is to wait and, if you’re at the awards themselves, indulge in some respectable afternoon drinking. GamesRadar’s James Jarvis, Zoe Delahunty-Light and Brandon Saltalamacchia will also be doing a lot of speculation. Lots of PC games on there, or at least multi-platform games, and there’s a PC Game of the Year Award, too. BattleTechFrostpunkInto the Brea

In celebration of its anniversary, Star Citizen will be free for everyone next week. The extended free period means you’ll have more time to fly every single ship in the game—they’re all going to be free for 24 hours, rotating daily. Chris Roberts walked the audience through the hub city of Lorville and then out into the wilderness, by foot and ship. You’ll also get to go on the new scramble race missions, where you have to hoof it across a planet. You can set up an account and download Star Cit

I’ve spent a good chunk of yesterday and today trying to get a handle on what ray tracing does—and more importantly doesn’t do—in Battlefield 5. In fact, the only thing ray tracing is used for in Battlefield 5 is improved reflections. How does Battlefield 5 perform, with and without ray tracing? For now, Nvidia’s RTX ray tracing hardware is in its infancy. Of course performance without ray tracing is still at least equal to the previous generation, so it’s not a total loss.

It’s been years since Valve announced its intention to add Australian currency to Steam, but good things (or let’s face it: moderately convenient things) come to those who wait. According to messages sent to Steam developers and reposted on the Steam forums (thanks PCGamesN), Australian currency will be displayed from November 21 onwards. Although that isn’t for a week, there’s already an announcement post on Steam outlining what the changes mean for Australians. Also of note is what will happen

Bungie announced today that the Season of the Outlaw, the spaghetti western-inspired first season of Destiny 2: Forsaken, will come to an end of November 27. That date will also mark the beginning of the Season of the Forge, which will see the return of heavy machine guns. And one week after that, on December 4, the first of three expansions included in the Destiny 2: Forsaken annual pass will go live: the Black Armory. “What will each Season hold for every player of Destiny 2? Bungie also warne

NIS America teased the upcoming release of Killer7 in September with a trailer showcasing the game’s cel shaded graphics and first three assassins: The Cleaner, the Hellion, and Four-Eyes. What it did not have, unfortunately, was any hint of a release date or pricing. Today the publisher revealed both, by releasing the game on Steam entirely without warning. “Killer7 chronicles the connection between two men whose intertwined path develop into a compelling tale of revenge and altering personas,

Called Warcraft 3: Reforged, this updated version features new art and animations while preserving the excellent real-time strategy as it was in 2002. Though we wish we were getting a brand new Warcraft 4, Reforged looks like an excellent way to experience the game that really propelled Warcraft into the mainstream and laid the foundation for World of Warcraft. Warcraft 3: Reforged will be releasing some time in 2019, but a beta will be happening “early 2019” according to senior producer Pete St

The company’s new Z390 chipset means a deluge of flashy new motherboards, which in turn means discounts on the older models—just in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you’re thinking about upgrading your motherboard, now is a great time to make the switch. What to expect from motherboard deals on Black Friday and Cyber MondayThe Z390 boards are already stocked at online-retailers. A lot of AMD motherboards are currently $10 less than their usual price, so expect those savings to increase
