RuneScape dev apologises after RuneFest debut of an AI-generated six-fingered character: 'That's pretty hard to explain away'
RuneScape developer Jagex descended upon Birmingham (the British one, not the Alabama one) over the weekend with its annual RuneFest. As part of its RuneScape keynote, it showed off a trailer for its upcoming Dragon Slayer 2 quest which, er, featured a player character with six fingers and a bizarre sneaker-like sole on their very not-sneaker armoured shoes...

Garry's Mod creator admits the launch of S&box "was s**t": "There being too much content is a problem"
Garry's Mod developer Garry Newman isn't happy with the launch of spiritual successor S&box and its large number of negative Steam reviews, and he isn't pleased about its recent free weekend, either. Despite how beloved Garry's Mod is, its spiritual successor has unfortunately not gone down nearly as well since launch earlier this year. Its biggest problem is the issue with any creation platform – the sheer amount of generative AI slop being fed into the game and flooding it with a ton of crap,

GTA 6 writer says the series has never had "much focus on national politics" beyond GTA 4's war on terror, and the latest entry won't get "too specific"
Details about and dev chatter concerning GTA 6 continue to drip out as part of the marketing push towards its console launch in November. This time, some of the aspects of it I'm most intrigued to see how Rockstar have handled whenever they deign to bring it to PC have been discussed - how they've approached satirising the societal climate of America in 2026 through allusions to politics and the American dream.

This week in PC games: Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Hellraiser: Revival, and a throwback tycoon game about turning utopias into carparks
Happy this week, all! I regret to inform you that the videogame developers have been at it again. Sometimes, I find that the promising new releases distribute themselves evenly throughout the week, like butter perfectly spread over just the right amount of toast. And sometimes, as with this week's haul, they congregate weirdly on Thursday and Friday. It's as though they were trying to get away from me, like rats ambushed in the pantry, pawing frantically against the weekend's closed and bolted d

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lead is "bored and tired" of "repetitive" RPGs and "games for teenagers"
There are some well-worn tropes in RPGs. The protagonist is often some form of destined saviour, on a quest to defeat a cartoonishly evil villain, with a selection of side-characters along the way. Warhorse Studios actively rejects all of that when it comes to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, because in the studio's mind, they sell the genre short. In an interview with PC Gamer, Martin Klíma, co-founder of Warhorse Studios and executive producer on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor, pro

Steam Users Can Claim 4-Player Multiplayer Game Completely Free of Charge on October 14
Steam has become one of the easiest places to build up a game library without spending much money, especially when limited-time promotions hand out games that would normally cost something, and now another one is slated for October 14. While Steam's biggest free game opportunities can sometimes get buried among sales, demos, and temporary free-to-play events, smaller giveaways can be worth watching for if the timing is right. One such promotion is coming in October, and it will give Steam users

I got my start writing for a PlayStation 2 magazine: These are my 12 PS2-pilled recommendations from the Steam Autumn Sale
What's great about the PS2 back catalogue is that it's too vast to have an encyclopedic knowledge of everything in there. The defining 20 or so games on the platform—God of War, Gran Turismo 3, Final Fantasy 10 and so forth—are very well known, and maybe Millennial players can recall a weirdo game or two like Mr Mosquito or Global Defence Force. One look at the games in the Japan-only Simple 2000 series, however, shows you just how deep the library goes. When's Demolition Girl getting a HD remas

The Witcher 3 Remastered leads to new Steam player peak of nearly 140,000, CD Projekt Red celebrates
The Witcher 3 Remastered dropped early last week, gracing fans of Geralt's legendary 2015 adventure with a revamped RPG – one that's proven so popular, in fact, that it's boosted CD Projekt Red's playerbase like never before on Steam. It's been one heck of a wild weekend for The Witcher 3, seeing as it managed to hit a new all-time player count peak on Steam… 11 years or so after its initial launch. This comes thanks to the recent remaster, of course, but it's mind-boggling nonetheless. You'll
