Now, the game developer is gearing up for another season, and its release date is around the corner.The next Fortnite Festival artist was already leaked. Unsurprisingly, this is the star that already collaborated with Epic and has a couple of cosmetics in the game.Who will be the artist in Fortnite Festival Season 8?According to Hypex, the most popular Fortnite leaker, the next Festival artist will be Sabrina Carpenter. The 25-year-old singer has been one of the most popular singers lately, so adding her to Fortnite makes sense. On top of this, Epic released her bundle in late November, bringing two emotes and two Jam Tracks with it.With 66.3 million monthly listeners, Sabrina ranks among the top 20 most popular artists on Spotify. Furthermore, her hit song Espresso was the most-played song on the streaming platform in 2024. The superstar has a couple of songs that have surpassed a billion plays on Spotify, and we expect them all to be available with the next Music Pass, along with Sabrinas skin.Sabrina Carpenter was leaked as the next Fortnite Festival artist. Image by VideoGamerIts important to note that Epic Games still hasnt confirmed the next Fortnite Festival artist.

  • Undertale Determination Symphony is a one-night orchestral concert celebrating the games 10th anniversary

Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games here Contents hide Its hard to believe it has already been 10 years since Toby Foxs Undertale set the internet alight with fanart, memes and countless Game Theory videos. Now, to celebrate the games 10th anniversary, the adorable RPG is receiving a one-night only orchestral concert.Undertale Determination Symphony announcedCommencing on June 22, 2025 at 6:30PM, the Undertale Determination Symphony will kick off at the Eventim Apollo theatre in London, just opposite the Broadway Shopping Centre.The concert features a 25-piece orchestra performing music from throughout the games story. Players are invited to fall into the Underground as the orchestra takes players through a musical journey from your initial fall at Mount Ebott, leading you through Froggit Village, the Snowdin Forest, Temmie Village and so much more!While the concert plays the iconic video game soundtrack, a huge screen will play gameplay relating to the tunes.Tickets for the concert start at 30.25 entry with better seats costing a total of 97.25, which is surprisingly affordable for a one-day-only concert in London. To book your own tickets for the event, follow the link here.Even the poster is adorable.An undying legacySince its release in 2015, Toby Foxs Undertale has become one of the most inspiring video games to ever release. The whimsical tale does take some very dark turns, but at the end of the day its a tale of friendship and belonging.With the game kicking off a new wave of whacky indie games, as Fox works hard on their upcoming successor Deltarune, the legacy of Undertale is one of undying love from its community. There will likely never be such a thing as an Undertale 2, but thats because its a game that truly doesnt need one. (Thats what the dozens of fan games are for.) Im sure well see a hell of a lot more merch, though.UndertalePlatform(s):Linux, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/XGenre(s):Indie, RPGSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

  • Marvel Rivals massive PC RAM usage will be fixed in Season 2 as devs admit its a very big problem

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereNetEases Marvel Rivals is a pretty well optimised game, especially for an Unreal Engine 5 title. While the team behind the game has managed to optimise Doctor Stranges portals and environmental destruction, theyre aware of the games massive RAM usage on PC.As it stands right now, Marvel Rivals on PC is a RAM glutton with recent patches almost requiring 32GB of RAM. (You could probably make do with 24GB but who does that?) Speaking to PCGamer, game director Guangyun Chen promised that a new feature is coming to remedy this issue.Marvel Rivals RAM usage will be fixedTalking to the outlet at GDC 2025, Chen explained that the superhero game will be introducing an experimental feature to the game that should fix the absurdly high memory issues.On PC, we realize that [optimization] is a big problem, especially for the memory consumption, the game director said. So it may be that in Season 2, we will have an experimental check box in our launcher players can use to reduce memory [consumption] significantly.On launch and even in early beta tests, Rivals ran just fine with 16GB of RAM on PC. Additionally, the game runs extremely well on console, including Xbox Series S which has just 10GB of GDDR6 RAM. In fact, only 8GB of that is used for games.In the interview, Chen admitted that Marvel Rivals RAM usage is a very big issue for the game right now. With millions of players across the world, many of those likely dont have access to high-spec PCs, and less players means less money for NetEase.Its a very big problem, but its a lot of work to organize [a fix], the director continued. We cannot just release it in a small patch, we have to fully test it. But we realize the problem and were going to keep optimizing.Chen also put a fair amount of blame on Unreal Engine 5. While the engine is great to work with, it can be a pig to optimise, and thats the issue NetEase is facing right now. Its hard for all developers to use the engine and make it good, the director explained. Its a new engine for us. We have a lot of hard work [ahead] to optimize it.Nevrtheless, Rivals is continuing to go forward with heaps of new content. With a new hero coming every month-and-a-half with new events, maps and modes, players always have something to do.

Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games here3D Realms aging FPS protagonist Duke Nukem has come out of retirement in a brand-new mod for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. Giving the war-torn Captain Demetrian Titus a well-earned break, the true-blooded American has come to teach Xenos scum to Hail to the King. (Heresy?)Duke Nukem in Space Marine 2Created by modder yesimWillem, the new Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 mod is a very simple model replacement for the awesome co-op game. Available here on Nexus, its a very simple way to crack a smile on a bad day, aka any work day. From the early game Deathwatch sections to the epic finale Saber had to fight to keep, Titus is completely absent. Instead, Duke takes his place, firing bolters at Tyranids and ripping heads off the forces of Chaos.To install the mod, players simply need to drag and drop the local folder into Space Marine 2\client_pc\root\. While the game will claim you have corrupted files, the mod should launch the game just fine.Hail to the King, Xenos Scum!With Duke Nukem pretty much dead since the release of the pretty rancid Duke Nukem Forever, fans have been waiting for a new game. At the time of writing, the rights for the lovable douchebag sit with Gearbox, a studio currently making Borderlands 4. While Duke has cameoed in Bulletstorm and received some remasters, its about time for the King to return.Until that day, this Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 mod will satiate us fans for the time being. After all, the Xenos scum are just another bunch of alien b*stards that will pay for shooting up our ride.For more Space Marine 2 coverage, read about how Sabers in-development third game aims to be bigger and better with larger-scale fights.

  • Helldivers 2 literally becomes unplayable for some on PC due to new hard requirement

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereHelldivers 2 has been one of the biggest success stories for Sony on PlayStation and PC, but it has not been completely free of controversy. In the past, there was the whole PSN debacle on PC, and now theres another controversy as Helldivers 2 has literally become unplayable for some on PC due to a new hard requirement.Helldivers 2 becomes unplayable for some on PCAs reported by Eurogamer, Helldivers 2 has become literally unplayable for some on PC due to a new hard requirement. This new hard requirement comes despite no change to the minimum system requirements on the games Steam page.However, as relayed by the outlet, HD2 now requires AVX2 support to run thanks to recent optimisations. The problem with this is that it has resulted in some PC players no longer being able to play the game due to old CPUs.Per Eurogamer, AVX2 (or Advanced Vector Extensions) essentially allows for fast and efficient CPU usage and was first supported by Intel in 2013 CPUs released prior to this wont have AVX2 and therefore will no longer be able to run Helldivers 2.Arrowhead has not responded to this debacle on Discord or any other platform as of writing. However, some impacted players are understandably miffed due to having paid a premium price to play a game that now no longer works.While Arrowhead hasnt responded to players, Discord moderator, Birby, has in messages relayed by Eurogamer. These messages include the moderator saying that processor does not support AVX2, which is now a hard minimum requirement for processors. Unfortunately, you will require a system upgrade.Another message from the moderator exemplified how heated some discontent has become. The moderator wrote, I dont like to have to tell people their 13 year old processor is out of date, and I get youre venting, but as I keep saying it is up to you as the consumer to confirm your system meets spec before purchase, and you should never be surprised if your out of spec machine cant run the game.Image credit: Helldivers DiscordSome people unable to play the game now were able to for over 600-hours as stated in one message from the community. However, it is a complicated situation as the minimum requirements do list Intel Core i7-4790K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, which both support AVX2, meaning players now locked out of HD2 were able to bypass the minimum requirements at the time of purchase. Image credit: Helldivers DiscordIts unclear how Arrowhead will, or even could, help the few players who are now locked out of fighting for democracy. No longer being able to play a game after over a year without issues is obviously not good, but, at the same time, the minimum system requirements have not changed, AVX2 has just become a hard requirement.

  • Killer InZoi bug accidentally lets players run over children, sending them flying across the playground
    www.videogamer.com
    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereKRAFTONs Sims competitor InZoi has launched in early access with a massive player count, but players have been shocked by the game after finding an unintentional feature that allows them to kill children.In most video games, the murder of children is pretty much a no-go, at least outside of mods. (Every Bethesda game has a mod for this.) However, it turns out that InZoi allows players to kill children, but only if they run them over in a high-speed vehicle.InZoi lets players drive over childrenIn InZoi, players can get in a car and drive across the game world in an awesome mechanic that separates the game from The Sims. When driving, players can accidentally, or purposefully, hit other civilians which causes them to ragdoll and die.In a Reddit thread, players enjoying the early access game found that they can run into a child and ping them across the map. Just like any other character, this results in the child dying, which seems unintentional.Part of early access is trying to break the game, the player said. This is how you report bugs, issues, etc. One of the issues I found is that you can drive into the elementary school and run over.. Unalive the children.. They might want to change this as the game is launching with a T rating.It does appear that being able to hit children with a car is a bug, or an unintended feature. With the game hoping to keep the same T for Teen badge as The Sims, this feature would need to be removed to keep that age rating.Nevertheless, some players (not naming names) can definitely see the humour in this. Even if the game is patched out, someone will definitely (hopefully) mod the feature back in as players express a desire to hit one through the goal post in the playground.For more coverage of InZoi, read about the differences between this game and The Sims. Additionally, read about the game directors thoughts on why the new game wont overtake EAs historic series.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

  • When is InZOI coming to PS5 and Xbox? Possible release window explained for consoles

Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games here Contents hide InZOI is the new smash hit game out right now. Its early access has debuted with a very impressive player count, and the developer has shared their intentions for the near future through a roadmap promising hefty updates. Naturally, a lot of people are wondering when InZOI is coming to PS5 and Xbox, and here we have an explanation of the possible release window for consoles.Is InZOI coming to PS5 and Xbox?Yes, InZOI is coming to PS5 and Xbox. As confirmed on the games official Discord, it is only available on PC Steam right now, but it is later expected to be released on consoles like PS5 and Xbox.Image credit: InZoi DiscordThis is fantastic news for players. A lot of hype started surrounding the game when its magnificent character creator demo came out in 2024, and the fact it will become more broadly available in the future is great to hear.Right now, the games director is very honest about the fact the game needs quite a bit of polishing and is nowhere near the standards of The Sims 4 yet. However, despite this, there are many similarities and differences between InZOI and The Sims, and the game is a lot of fun even in early access.With The Sims 5 nowhere near in sight, InZOI is definitely worth checking out, especially if you want an life simulator experience with heftier character customization plus ultra-realistic visuals.When will it come to consoles?InZOI is expected to come to PS5 and Xbox once early access for PC has ended. This means the possible release window for consoles is 2026.Per the games overview on Steam, Early Access is planned to last for at least a year. While a year would mean early access ending around late-March 2026, the developer says the roadmap may change depending on feedback and the games direction.Hopefully it does come to consoles as early as possible as the game looks amazing. Again, the visuals are super impressive, the customization is hella extensive, and its only going to get better as the developer delivers more updates.In other PlayStation news, Sony has confirmed a massive day-one PS Plus release for Summer.Related TopicsinZoi Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

  • Path of Exile 2 lead says launch success derailed usual early access tests as devs treat it more like a released game

Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereGrinding Gear Games Path of Exile 2 launched in early access to an overwhelming success. With an all-time peak of 578,000 concurrent players just on Steam, the games launch hype was a massive surprise for the games developers.Speaking to Eurogamer, game director Jonathan Rogers described the game as 100% a success, but its huge popularity means the studio cant treat the ARPG as a typical early access game.Path of Exile 2 must be treated as a released gameDuring the interview, Rogers explained that huge changes, including nerfing stuff that needed to be nerfed, would cause mass outrage amongst players. Despite the games early access nature, and the experimentation that comes with that, fans are already attached to specific builds that could change.We immediately ran into the situation we would normally expect in the full released game, which is a bunch of players are like, oh youre breaking my build, so we had to realise, okay, we have to treat this like its a released game in this regard and be a bit more careful, the game director said.Whenever youve got players, it derails what your plans are.PATH OF EXILE 2 DIRECTOR JONATHAN ROGERS This has led Grinding Gear Games to treat Path of Exile 2 less like an early access game and more like a live-service title. Experimentation still happens, but its less of a focus. Instead, the focus is simply on pushing the game forwards with a push towards better suiting endgame players who stay even after finishing seasonal content.Whenever youve got players, it derails what your plans are, and it has to, the director said. Its good that it does because it forces you immediately to be responding to what the game needs, which now becomes very obvious because youve got actual players playing it.While player counts have drastically dropped since its huge launch, Rogers is confident the game will skyrocket back up on the games full release. Even with drastically reduced player counts since the early access release, Path of Exile 2 is still doing well, and its clear the team is dedicated to making it the best ARPG possible.Path of Exile 2Platform(s):PCGenre(s):Action RPG, Massively Multiplayer, RPGRelated TopicsPath of Exile 2 Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereWorld of Warcraft is a massive MMO with a passionate playerbase. Recently, Blizzard has confirmed some deaths will be reversed following a massive DDoS attack, meanwhile, in a recent interview, the developer reflected on dragon riding that didnt feel good. Now its been revealed that World of Warcraft is implementing a new feature that copies one of the most popular user-made WoW UI addons.New World of Warcraft feature copies WeakAuras UI addonAs noted by PCGamer, World of Warcraft is mimicking WeakAuras incredibly popular UI addon. Shared by WoWHead, there is a new Cooldown Manager in WoW patch 11.1.5.This new Cooldown Manager copies some of the most popular cooldown tracking from WeakAuras. Below are the four areas covered by Blizzards Cooldown Manager as highlighted by WoWHead:Essential CooldownsIn this area you will find most of your class cooldowns. For example, as a Shadow Priest, this section tracks both short rotational cooldowns likeMind BlastandShadow Word: Deathand longer cooldowns like Dark AscensionandPower Infusion.Utility CooldownsSimilar to the Essential Cooldowns area, this area deals with utility spells, tracking both short utility spells likePower Word: ShieldandAngelic Feather, and longer ones likeDispersionandDesperate Prayer.Tracked BuffsThis section tracks procs your spec has that can change your rotation. In the example, the tracked procs areDeathspeaker,Shadowy Insight, andUnfurling Darkness.Tracked BarsThe final section is different from the other tree, offering bars to closely track the duration of impactful cooldowns. In the example, it tracksShadowfiendandEntropic Rift.While Blizzards Cooldown Manager is appreciated, it does lack customization compared to WeakAuras. The only customization options for Blizzards Cooldown Manager are as follows:Orientation Horizontal or VerticalNumber of Columns 1 to 20Icon Direction Left or RightIcon Size 50% to 200%Icon Padding 2 to 10Opacity 50% to 100%Visibility Always Visible, In Combat, HiddenShow Timer Toggle(Tracked Buffs Only) Hide When Inactive Toggle(Tracked Bars Only) Display Mode Icon and Name, Icon Only, Name OnlyIn other WoW news, Blizzard has discussed how the games longevity isnt because of legacy, but because of the games willingness to evolve.Related TopicsWorld of Warcraft Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

  • Nightdive says System Shock 3 is very complicated, but a System Shock 2 remake is on the cards

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereNightdive Studios did one hell of a job with its remake of the original System Shock, so much so that the companys upcoming System Shock 3 has jumped to the top of my wishlist. While the third game is in development at the studio, its going to be a long while until we hear anything about it.Speaking to VGC at GDC (thats very funny to say), Nightdive director of business development Larry Kuperman claimed the third game is in a very complicated situation, but remains hopeful that fans will hear more about it potentially within a year.When asked for an update on the games release schedule, Kupperman said: The situation around System Shock 3 is very complicated. [I dont have an update] as yet, not as yet. I dont know when its going to clarify, but it could potentially be within a year. It could be, or it could take longer. That said, what I can say is that we have visions of what we can do within what we control.Alongside the update on System Shock 3, Kupperman revealed that Nightdive could also do a full-on remake of the second game. While a remaster is currently slated to come out in just a short while for PC and console, he claims theres nothing stopping them from also remaking the game. (After all, thats what they did for the original.)Youre going to see a remaster of System Shock 2, he said. Ive been asked twice earlier today why we didnt do a remake, and I said, are you somehow under the impression that because we do a remaster that we wont be able to do a remake in the future? That might be something that I can either confirm or deny. But theres going to be content coming out.Kuperman also teased a possible future for System Shock within the first and the second games. With the franchise undiluted by years of additional media, Nightdive could expand the universe with spin-off games and other material.For now, System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is slated to release on 26 Jun, 2025, and it looks banging.

Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereThere are some great games set to come out for PS5 very soon. Two excellent experiences set to arrive on PlayStation are currently Xbox exclusives in Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, as well as Forza Horizon 5. While both of these are available to pre-order at an expensive premium fee, right now PS5 gamers can buy an underrated horror great for less than 5 as part of the PSN store Spring sale.PSN store Spring sale includes underrated horror great for less than 5The PSN store Spring sale has begun, and it lasts until April 9th. There are many great discounts included as part of the sale for PS5, and one of the best offers for horror junkies is the underrated gem, The Sinking City.For PS Plus subscribers, The Sinking City is available to buy at a measly 3.99. If you are not subscribed to PS Plus, then it is only 5.99. This is the PS5 version of the game as the PS4 version costs 4.49 with PS Plus, and 6.74 on its own.Speaking strictly about the PS5 version, its definitely worth buying with or without a PS Plus subscription as the discount is over 80% from the usual price of 39.99.While The Sinking City isnt as polished as recent horror masterpieces such as the Silent Hill 2 remake, its still a really good and unique horror experience within the world of H.P. Lovecraft. It has a unique open-world inhabited by twisted civilians and monsters, and it has a unique detective mechanic. Its also not part of PS Plus Extra, and The Sinking City 2 is in-development, so its definitely worth buying while it is so cheap.Some other great horror games under 10 for the PSN store Spring sale include The Evil Within 2 at 8.74, Reveil for 9.59, and Whitestone for 5.69.Make sure to check out the PSN store Spring sale and take advantage while it lasts.

Although it will be added with the v32.30 update a week earlier, Epic wont activate it right away.

  • Ex-Bethesda dev says the studio no longer had the freedom that made Skyrim great when making Starfield

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereWhile Starfield is a fun sci-fi RPG with some great parts, its no secret that the game lacks the magic of Skyrim. 14-years on and Skyrim still has a massive fanbase of gamers who want nothing more than to stay in that world, but what exactly has caused the Bethesda magic to fade?According to former Skyrim, Fallout and Starfield developer Nate Purkeypile, the freedom that developers used to have at the company has all-but disappeared. While experimentation was rampant in the days of Bethesdas past, thats no longer the case.Skyrim freedom no longer exists at BethesdasSpeaking at the Game Developers Conference, via PC Gamer, Purkeypile explained that some of the most iconic parts of Skyrim came around because of developer freedom.We had quite a bit of freedom to do stuff, the developer explained. The one that people know about was Blackreach That was not on schedule at all. Like we just kind of did that on the side and put it in.A lot of the great stuff within Skyrim came from having that freedom to do what you want, as opposed to a game with this whole checklist design and design by committee, he continued.In the past, Purkeypile revealed that he left Bethesda during Starfields development due to the sheer amount of meetings the studio would hold. Unlike the time of Skyrims development, every addition now has a discussion attached, and it not only slows development, but decimates freedom. Thats probably why The Elder Scrolls 6 is taking so damn long.You would basically get in trouble for doing that, Purkeypile said about returning to the open nature of Skyrims development. Because everything does have a cost If everyone is doing that within 500 people, its a mess. But with, you know, 100 people? Its much more manageable, and where a lot of the interesting things come from.Nowadays, Purkeypile is working on his own project. The Axis Unseen, a new open world horror game, is the Skyrim developers baby, and its available to nab on Steam right now. In fact, the game is even on sale at the time of writing.StarfieldPlatform(s):PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Adventure, RPG, Science Fiction, SpaceSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

While weve been blessed with trilogy remasters such as the most recent 4-6, and have seen Lara Croft crossover with some massive IPs, there is a yearning for a new Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics. One has been in-development for a few years, and Crystal Dynamics has promised that recently shared bad news does not alter plans for the new Tomb Raider game.Crystal Dynamics bad news does not alter plans for new Tomb Raider gameCrystal Dynamics has shared some unfortunate news. As just revealed in a statement on X, the Tomb Raider developer has made the difficult decision to reduce [their] workforce by 17 talented team members.The announcement says they did not make the decision lightly, and that it was necessary to better align our current business needs and the studios future success. The developer also stated that they recognize how painful this outcome is for those impacted, and Crystal Dynamics is supporting them with transition packages and opportunity outreach.While nothing Tomb Raider 12 is specifically mentioned, the announcement ends with a promise that Crystal Dynamics remains committed to pushing the boundaries of making great games, and This change does not alter our current project plans.Image credit: @CrystalDynamics on XLayoffs are unfortunate, and, sadly, it has become a more common occurrence in the video games industry.As for what Crystal Dynamics current project plans are, they are developing a new Tomb Raider game, and they are also co-developing a new Perfect Dark for Xbox.We havent seen the new Tomb Raider game at all, but there are a few details we know.

  • HP doesnt want Windows on its Steam Deck competitor, but Valves simple SteamOS

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereValves brilliant Steam Deck is an amazing tool for handheld PC gaming. While other gaming handhelds like the ROG Ally are also fantastic options, their Windows operating system is far more clunky to use.With Valve now opening SteamOS to third-party companies, devices like the Lenovo Legion GO are able to offer Windows-less versions of their devices. For HP executive Josephine Tan, this is the way forward for all PC gaming handhelds.HPs Steam Deck clone will run SteamOSIn a since-removed interview with XDA developers, archived here, Tan explained that the clunky nature of Windows 10 and 11 turned HP away from making its own handheld for gamers.If I dont like it, I dont know how to do a product for it, the executive said.With SteamOS offering a very simple setup for users who just want to play games, HP is now finally looking to jump into the fray with its own handheld. However, if it releases, the company needs to use Valves operating system instead of Windows.When asked if HP would be interested in making a gaming handheld running on Valves operating system, Tan responded with a simple yes.While the Steam Deck is nowhere near as successful as, say, a Nintendo Switch, the handheld has sent waves through the hardware industry. Before now, Windows was always the OS of choice for PC handhelds like the GPD Win, but the Microsoft lead is ever-so-slightly slimming due to Valves Linux dedication.As Proton compatibility improves and companies like Ubisoft specifically target the Deck for new games, theres a long life ahead for the system. But, even better, theres an even longer life ahead for SteamOS.For more Steam Deck news, read about the reason why Valve wont be releasing constant revisions for the device.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

  • Helldivers 2 fans upset as Arrowhead ruin infamous weapon again

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereRecently Arrowhead released the patch notes for Helldivers 2 update 01.002.201. This delivered many changes, but it also occurred in a couple of bugs. One of these bugs includes a secret massive buff to one of the coolest support weapons in the game, meanwhile, the other bug has Helldivers 2 fans upset as it has ruined an infamous weapon yet again.Helldivers 2 bug nerfs infamous weaponIn the Helldivers 2 update 01.002.201 patch notes, Arrowhead listed the following fix:Fixed an issue where shrapnel from surface-hits was forced in a roughly south-west direction. Shrapnel should now properly fly out in a 180-ish arc in the direction of the surface hitFollowing this change, fans have lamented a pretty hard nerf to the Eruptor. As pointed out by OP No_Jaguar_2570, the shrapnel now flies back in a 180 degree arc. Away from the thing you just shot, which means its much more likely to hit you or your teammates, and its much less likely to hit the bad guys.In addition, the OP reports that now it cant even oneshot Hive Guards with a headshot, and It no longer reliably pops spewers, either.There are several posts unhappy with the update from Arrowhead. Rather than a nerf, it appears to be a pretty significant bug as it goes against what Arrowhead stated they fixed in the patch notes.Still, although it is a bug, a lot of fans are wishing Arrowhead would have just left the weapon alone. The Eruptor is a weapon that has received numerous balance changes in the past, and its one of the most infamous weapons in HD2 for receiving terrible changes.Hopefully this bug gets fixed in a new update soon. Hotfixes typically come out on either Tuesday or Thursday, but, as of writing, Arrowhead has not responded to the bug on Discord.For more Helldivers 2, check out our guide to thebest warbonds ranked, along with thebest stratagemsandbest throwables.

Launching in early access with Steam Deck support out of the gate, could the new life simulator finally wrestle the crown away from EAs beloved series?Well, according to game director Kjun, the new game doesnt hold a candle to The Sims quite yet. With the new series about to take its first steps, the director explains its not even comparable to Maxis giant.InZoi director on The Sims comparisonSpeaking to PCGamesN, the InZoi game director expressed a great appreciation for The Sims.The Sims is an incredible game, and I dont think InZoi is anywhere near comparable at least not yet, the director said.As the new arrival takes its first steps towards being a true competitor to The Sims, it could one day keep EAs series on its toes. However, for now, the two are completely different beasts, and Maxis juggernaut holds the crown for a reason.Were just taking our first steps along the path The Sims has paved. Every time I play The Sims, I learn something new, and I often find myself resonating with the decisions made by its development team. Kjun said. Just as every person leads a unique life, The Sims and InZOI each have their own meaning and value.The game director explained that launching with The Sims already being so established does lead to a lot of pressure for the team. While the game is competing in the same genre for a lot of the same audience, the director wants both to succeed.As a player, I genuinely support The Sims and look forward to what it has for us in the future, the director said.InZOI is set to launch in early access on Friday March 28, 2025.

  • Half-Life 3 is allegedly being playtested at Valve please dont give me hope

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereThe wait for Valve to release Half-Life 3 has been so long that the meme has turned from funny to sad. Nevertheless, accurate Valve dataminer and leaker GabeFollower claims the long-awaited third entry is not only in development, but in active play testing.GabeFollower, who previously leaked plans for Team Fortress 2 Classic and the early access game Deadlock, reports the game is not only being tested, but also nearing the end of development.Valve is playtesting Half-Life 3According to GabeFollower, files and lines of code found in Valves servers relate to the third game known internally as HLX. Found under folders titled hlx, hlxaudio, and hlxartists, optimisation passes have reportedly been discovered.The leaker claims that work is being done on a dynamic hair system, realistic deformable props, navigation meshes, advanced NPC interactions and complex enemy AI.Additionally, the leaker discovered evidence of a Zombie Gorilla enemy that was teased in Valves Half-Life: Alyx. Other enemies, such as Combine soldiers, have not been mentioned at the time of writing.Of course, while Half-Life 3 may be in its testing stage right now, that doesnt mean that Valve is getting ready to release the game. Playtesting means changes will be made, sometimes drastic ones, and with the importance of the sequel, Valve wont want to make any mistakes.While unconfirmed, just like everything else in the game, Half-Life 3 could also support Valves Steam Deck. Although the third game will likely be a very intensive game, the scalability of Valves Source 2 Game Engine could make the game playable on the handheld on low settings.For more Half-Life coverage, read about how Valve had to threaten publisher Sierra On-Line to keep funding the original game.

Check out how we test and review games hereMarvel Rivals continues to delight its growing player base with the Galactas Cosmic Adventure event, which debuted on March 7, 2025.

The events board game-inspired structure has kept fans interested, providing a refreshing twist on the games live-service model while keeping the promise of free heroes and maps for everybody.The latest patch notes, which will be released on March 27, 2025, tease an interesting addition: a secret April Fools Easter egg present. This hidden surprise will only be available to individuals who have claimed all of Galactas Cosmic Adventure rewards from April 1 to April 4. The community is rife with speculation as it could be a new skin, a quirky emote, or perhaps a hint to Season 2 content. On the other hand, most fans have already decrypted it and its something beyond you can imagine.Marvel Rivals Easter egg fuels speculation about Twerking Venom emoteAs Marvel Rivals Season 1 nears its close, the new patch is generating excitementand some hilaritywith the hint of a Twerking Venom emote, which will be released as an April Fools Easter egg reward on April 1, 2025.Fans believe that NetEase is finally bringing the iconic Venom Twerk Emote. Image by VideoGamer.The hint appeared in the March 27 patch notes, which featured a silhouette of Venom with exaggeratedly big glutes, fueling suspicion. This isnt just a random jest, as its a reference to a long-running community joke that has circulated since the games inception, with gamers asking for a lighthearted Venom dance based on his caked up appearance.

One such fan wrote, They finally gave the people what they want! Another chimed in, As a Venom main, I am thrilled.Whether real or a troll, the emote fits Marvel Rivals style of combining Marvels renowned charm with playful flair.

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereInZoi has become one the most anticipated games of the year because of its extensive character creator demo that was released in 2024. Many see the game as a potential rival to The Sims 4, and it is coming out very soon on PC only in early access format. Naturally, many fans are wondering if they will be able to play the game on the go, and, although not officially verified for Valves handheld platform, the devs have claimed ahead of early access launch that InZoi runs fine on Steam Deck.Can you play on InZoi on Steam Deck?Earlier on February 28th, 2025, the developers conducted an AMA with fans on the official InZoi Discord. Fans had the opportunity to submit questions, although the developers were not willing to accept questions about everything such as microtransactions and a post-launch early access roadmap.What the developers did answer is whether the game is compatible with Steam Deck. In response to whether the game is compatible with Valves handheld platform, the official response on Discord was, Yes, but it has not been officially optimized with Valve.In addition, the response claimed, The game runs fine, but you may need to adjust settings.Image credit: InZoi DiscordWhether it actually runs well on Valves handheld platform remains to be seen as early access doesnt launch until March 27th/28th pending on your region. You can play the demo for free, but that is admittedly just a character creator and build studio.We are very excited for InZoi to come out, and so are many others seeing as the game has topped Steam s most wanted games chart. Again, the game has been heavily compared to The Sims 4, and its something fans of The Sims 4 are eyeing with curiosity and excitement as its another life simulation game where you get to play God, only this time there is even more customization and the graphics are aiming for ultra realism.Again, InZoi early access launches on March 27th/28th, and it costs $39.99. It will eventually join consoles, but it will land on PS5 and Xbox until early access ends.In other Steam Deck news, users can soon get an overwhelmingly positive RPG and more for free.Related TopicsinZoi Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereA massive wave of targeted DDoS attacks saw the destruction of one the biggest Hardcore World of Warcraft Classic guild: OnlyFangs. Alongside other deaths, the DDoS attacks led to massive outroar within the WoW community.Led by popular streamer SodaPoppin, the attacks saw more than half of the hardcore guild wiped out as attacks coincided with huge raids. With characters dead forever, the only hope was a rollback by Blizzard, which many deemed extremely unlikely.I dont feel comfortable dragging people through getting world buffs, flasks, and consumables etc. just to raid with the anxiety and probably the actuality of just being DDOSed again and dying, guild leader SodaPoppin said.Blizzard saves World of Warcraft players In a message from World of Warcraft community manager Kaivax, Blizzard confirmed that it will resurrecting characters that died during one of the many DDoS attacks. While not every character may be saved, the studio is hoping to revive everyone who died as a result of the hackers.Recently, we have experienced unprecedented distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that impacted many Blizzard game services, Kaivax told players. Were taking steps to resurrect player-characters that were lost as a result of these attacks. Unlike the many other ways characters can die in Hardcore, DDoS attacks are an intentionally malicious effort made by third-party bad actors, and we believe the severity and results of DDoS attacks specifically warrant a different response.The community manager explained that the broader stance on character restorations or death appeals has not changed. Characters that have died as a result of lag, bugs or disconnects will not be restored. However, if an event like a mass DDoS attack results in the death of a character, their death may be rolled back.In the future, Blizzard may elect at our sole discretion to revive Hardcore characters that perish in a mass event which we deem inconsistent with the integrity of the game, such as a DDoS attack, they said.For more World of Warcraft coverage, read about how Ashbringer is seemingly coming to the game after 20 years.
