Robot Cache is a digital store that lets you buy games, resell games and, should you choose, mine cryptocurrency that you can use to buy new games. On a resale you take 25 percent of the game’s value back, five percent goes to Robot Cache, and 70 percent goes to the developer/publisher. In addition, as you mine Robot Cache’s IRON currency for yourself, the client mines the hot cryptocurrency of the moment and sends that back to Robot Cache. We love Steam, we love those guys. If you’re curious, y

The Fortnite dog stares into the distance, teeth bared, eyes unmoving, tracking a preternatural invisible threat. Stage 3: AcceptanceIt is too bold to call it peace, but there is a change in the final moments of a Fortnite dog’s life. Fear, bravery: these cannot save the Fortnite dog now. Stage 4: ImmaterialityThe Fortnite dog phases into an ascendant immaterial form as loaded weapons pass through their body. Such is the existence of a Fortnite dog.

CD Projekt announced today that Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, the 30-hour Witcher-based RPG that somehow grew out of a Witcher 3 mini-game, is now available for preorder. “Pre-orders start later today and Thronebreaker includes some pretty awesome digital goodies. Along with the base game, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales will also include the soundtrack, a digital edition of Dark Horse’s Gwent: Art of the Witcher Card Game art book, concept art including a map of Lyria, a digital copy of th

Procedurally generated top-down space game Heat Signature has received a huge update to mark one year since its release. Character traits are new to the game. When you pick a character at the start of a Heat Signature run, each has two random traits. Steven reviewed Heat Signature last year. “By making excellent use of its procedurally generated world and wacky gadgets, Heat Signature is a mission worth taking.”

We love cruising around in American Truck Simulator. Soon, as noted by RPS, we’ll be able to glide through the beautiful climes of Oregon in a new expansion coming out next week. In a series of blog posts exploring the large new map SCS detail Portland and Oregon’s bridges. Demonstrating Truck Simulator’s endearing passion for small atmospheric touches, “several unique representatives of Oregon flora have also been identified. Keep an eye on the SCS blog for more in the run up to the Oregon expa

The Football Manager blog has started hinting at new features in Football Manager 2019. The latest iteration has secured the official Bundesliga license, which means logos, kits and player likenesses from all 36 teams in the German leagues will be present. New team instruction options will supposedly allow you to craft your own footballing philosophy to “reflect the most popular tactical innovations in modern football.” Football Manager 2019 is due out on November 2. To tide you over, enjoy this

My favorite thing about any Oculus Connect is listening to Michael Abrash talk. Abrash is Oculus’s chief science officer, focused on R&D for the VR technology of five, 10, 20 years from now. He helped John Carmack program Quake, and today the two work at Oculus in very different categories, which coincidentally makes their annual keynotes fascinating counterpoints. Abrash talks excitedly about what VR is capable of and how we might overcome the immense technical challenges to get there. Carmack

Tech support: We need it, but we don’t like it. That behind all those error messages and angry customers, something sinister was happening? That’s the setup for Tech Support: Error Unknown, a “story rich adventure” set to come out in February. As a new employee of Quasar Telecommunications, you’re outfitted with a purpose-built computer that enables you to work your tech support job from home, interacting with customers and solving their problems. The Tech Support: Error Unknown Steam page says

Whatever it is, if SteelSeries carries the peripheral you’re looking for in its web store, you can shave 10 percent off the regular price by applying coupon code FUTUREPLC10 during checkout. We’ve teamed up with SteelSeries to offer the 10 percent discount. This is a high-end wireless headset that carries a premium price tag. Using the coupon code takes some of the sting out of the asking price, bringing the tally down to $296.99 (from $329.99). Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy

Solid state drives are great, but nothing can beat hard drives when it comes down to raw capacity. If you want to store your entire Steam library locally, Toshiba’s 5TB performance hard drive is just $105.59 on Amazon for today only. The form factor is 3.5-inches, not 2.5″, so it won’t fit in most laptops. You can buy the Toshiba 5TB hard drive from Amazon. It’s already back-ordered until October 4, so you should probably act fast.

After a brief delay, the latest update to Rare’s swashbuckling open world sandbox Sea of Thieves is now live. Forsaken Shores adds a new area to the map called The Devil’s Roar, a volcanic region, and quite a dangerous one at that: it features earthquakes, super-heated seas, scalding geysers, plummeting rocks, and liquid hot magma. To help you navigate this perilous region, rowboats can now be found at random in the world (frustratingly, they don’t just spawn with your ship). Rowboats have stora

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 doesn’t have a single-player campaign, but it does have a cast of unique, diverse characters with a wide range of strengths and abilities, who will spend thousands of hours shooting at each other in various sorts of multiplayer scenarios. But others, those more invested in the memorable Call of Duty characters like Captain Price, Soap, Gaz, and Roach (and yes, Modern Warfare is the only one I really paid attention to), might be just as interested in who they are. For yo

In what might be the most Devil May Cry move ever, Dante can split his motorcycle into two massive axes to pulverise demons. The IGN footage out of TGS 2018 also shows a boss fight and a few different combat styles, including a fiery pugilistic style that uppercuts the boss across the arena. I didn’t quite get along with Nero’s disposable arms, but Dante looks great. We’ll have to wait and see how the third playable character, V, dispatches demons. In other Devil May Cry 5 news, we know the game

Nvidia’s latest ‘Game Ready driver’ is available to download. You can get it directly via the Geforce site or via the Geforce Experience application. This handsomely named Game Ready 411.70WHQL driver offers to improve “performance and stability” in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, FIFA 19, and Forza Horizon 4, which Phil liked very much indeed. The driver also supports Nvidia’s new Geforce RTX cards for fans of flaming tanks perfectly reflected in the eyeball of a shellshocked soldier. The 18.9.3 Rad

Discord has shared the opening salvo of its ‘First on Discord’ games that’ll launch exclusively, for a limited time, on its new storefront later this year. We already knew about Bad North, which I’ve contemplated picking up on Switch for a few months now while the wait for a PC version goes on. It looks like a fast-paced, deadlier version of Wii U game Nintendo Land’s Luigi’s Ghost Mansion mode. Here’s the trailer for that:You can find full details of the First on Discord program here. No date h

Good to see that Fallout hasn’t lost its bleak outlook. “If the bombs do come, if the end does come, our way of life will endure… but not everybody will be saved.” If you have preordered then, a week after Xbox One players, you will be able to access the beta to stress test Bethesda’s servers and encounter those other players yourself. There will be an interesting friction between players who want to treat the game like a solo RPG, and roaming gangs of bandit players. We’ll find out if the gam

It might be dressed up like Skyrim Lite, but it’s a Bard’s Tale game through and through. Shiny and oldThe Bard’s Tale will happily throw enemies in your path that you are woefully unprepared to handle. DrunkeneeringMy bard’s booziness is emblematic of a gentle silliness that runs through Bard’s Tale 4. For old-time adventuring in a sprawling, vibrant world, The Bard’s Tale 4: Barrows Deep delivers. But for old-time adventuring in a sprawling, vibrant world, The Bard’s Tale 4: Barrows Deep deliv

eBay isn’t the only site today with sales on PC components. Amazon is currently running a ‘PC Gaming Deal of the Day,’ with a number of components and accessories on sale for the next 14 hours (as of the time of writing). You can see the full list of discounted products here, but here are some highlights:

Fortnite Season 6 has arrived, and there’s an awful lot going on. Epic told me via email that the movement is a bug, not a feature. “This is embarrassing and unintended,” a rep said. But there are millions of eight-year-olds around the world playing Fortnite, and eight-year-olds have parents, and parents don’t always take to this sort of thing very well. As a feature, and an attention-getter, this isn’t the kind of thing that Fortnite needs.
