The long-time CEO replied to an investor question about his thoughts on the Steam Deck by noting that – if the handheld becomes popular enough – the French publisher may opt to put its games on the hardware. “We’re happy to see Steam Deck coming to the industry, it shows that it continues a flow of very innovative new hardware coming to the market,” he told investors (cheers, IGN). “So we will look and see how big it becomes, but if it’s big we will be able to put our games on it....

According to court documents obtained by Polygon, Ubisoft filed suit against the owners of the website SNG.ONE over its users creating DDoS attacks in Rainbow Six Siege. The website sells a lifetime subscription to its server and also offers a monthly plan. A screenshot taken by the Ubisoft of the website shows “Fortnite, FIFA 20, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 as potential targets.” Multiple people are named in the lawsuit which was filed on January 16 in California....

A new year has kicked off and with it, a batch of new free games for PlayStation Plus members. Well, the January couple, anyway, though we’re confident 2020 will bring us many more. This month, Plus subscribers worldwide will receive Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, as well as Goat Simulator for free on PS4. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection includes remastered versions of the original Uncharted, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception....

Two unions - Unionen and Sveriges Ingenjörer - conducted a survey of corporate practices, and the results showed that almost half of the employees who took part commented on how they experienced some kind of mistreatment. Even more revealing is the nearly 70% of women surveyed reporting abuse, suggesting that much of the abuse is directed at them. The survey also pointed to a company that’s uninterested in taking reports of abuse seriously and not dishing out appropriate consequences to those behaving offensively, creating a “culture of silence” around the company....

As we’ve been doing for years now, we’ll update this list almost daily. You’ll find your favourite PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch – and a few iOS and Android games here....

As spotted by our friends over at RockPaperShotgun, Rogier “Rhodan” Noordhuizen has been hard at work of Blades Of Ashina – a mod that takes the movesets and weapons you’ll find in From Software’s critically-acclaimed 2019 game and weaves them into the doomed, gothic world of Dark Souls 3. You can download the mod now at Nexus Mods. The mod first came out in June 2020, but another update arrived for the project in January 2021, rounding the weapon selection out to nine different arms and a couple of spells, too....

Patch 1.02 is coming to Valorant today, bringing a number of welcome changes to the meta as well as a few quality of life tweaks. The patch’s most noticeable change is the UI tweaks it made, which Riot Games admits will take a little bit of getting used to. The goal with the new UI and HUD is to differentiate the current version from the closed beta. This also means that while you may be confused initially, the overall experience of navigating the game’s various menus should be better....

As we reported last month, the Index VR headset was sold out in-stores and online in mid-January. Now according to Road to VR, the VR system is still almost entirely sold out. The only available version is a headset without controllers or base which is being sold from Japan. While this shortage initially kicked off late last year, most assumed Index will be back in stock early in 2020. However, it seems things have gotten worse....

The relationship between me and the podcast article is complicated. It’s not easy. It requires work for it to be the best it can be. You can’t just turn up and hope to have a great podcast article without trying your hardest. Sometimes I even hold a little ceremony before I write the article, just to show how serious I am about writing it. It’s a big deal, so I have to make sure I’ve thought it through properly....

Luckily for us, some of those discounts are on ideal gaming products, and we’ve collected some of the best available here for you. LG UltraGear 32 inch monitor First up is this incredible LG UltraGear 32 inch monitor that’s reduced from $349 to just $200. It’s a QHD panel with HDR10 support and a 165Hz refresh rate. It’s unheard of to get these features and this combination of refresh rate and resolution at such a low price....

Call of Duty: Warzone just received two patches. Developer Raven Software confirmed the patches specifically addresses two big issues that recently cropped up. First, the problem of matches ending very early, seemingly as the result of a cheat, has been fixed. The infamous, infinite stim glitch had also returned for a day or so, before it got quickly fixed in this week’s patch. Interestingly, the version of the infinite stim glitch that remerged was practically useless....

As an N64 first party exclusive, Wave Race 64 was designed to work tightly with the hardware – not just in regards to the obvious visual and technical feats, but how it took full advantage of the then fairly new concept of analog control. One of the best sensations in any racing game is when you pull the stick down towards you, either slightly left or right, and have the jet ski carve through the water and turn back on itself....

Roaring Moon is a Paradox Pokemon, a variation of Salamance who’s exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet. You can only catch Roaring Moon following the final boss battle in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, so you’ll need to see the credits roll before you even get a shot at finding this ultra-rare Pokemon. You’ll also need to have plenty of high-level balls on hand and probably a Pokemon who knows False Swipe, just to be safe....

Where are the Choppa locations in Fortnite? We’ve found four Choppas on the island so far, all of which are at the edge of the island and likely to get swallowed by the storm early in a match. Here’s where to look. Given their locations on the map, it’s best to land near the choppa so you have a better chance of reaching it before the storm closes in. With only four Choppas to pilot, you can naturally expect some competition from others who want to complete the challenge, so try and aim for a location that’s further away from the battle bus path if you can....

US WarioWare: Get it Together! pre-orders UK WarioWare: Get it Together! pre-orders WarioWare: Get it Together! versions and pre-order bonuses First released on the Gameboy Advance way back in 2003, WarioWare is essentially a compilation of weird and wonderful micro-games. Most of these only last for a couple of seconds. They’re fast, frantic, and the aim is to clear as many as possible. WarioWare: Get it Together! switches the formula up a little bit with the introduction of character-select mode, which changes the way games can be played....

Windjammers 2 – the long-awaited follow-up to the arcade classic – is finally becoming a reality. After years of delays, the game is finally going to materialise in the hands of players that have been hankering for a follow-up since they played the original way back in 1994. The open beta (which includes playable characters Steve Miller, Biaggi, Sophie de Lys and Gary Scott) will hit Steam and PS4, and PS5 tomorrow and run until August 22, giving you plenty of time to try the game out for yourself....

The game had incomprehensibly massive shoes to fill following the conclusion of the OG Halo trilogy. Passed along from Bungie to 343 Industries, it really was the start of a new age for the sci-fi series. Bungie went off to work on a brand new universe (you may have heard of it) now that it had wrapped up its story with ample flourish and bombast. 343 came in as a mix of construction worker and interior decorator, building up an extension to a luxurious house, and seeing if it could replicate (or even evolve) the whole structure....

Shadowlands, World of Warcraft’s upcoming expansion, is adding official controller support to the MMO for the first time. Programmer Martin Benjamins first broke the news when they discovered strings referencing controller input in a recent patch. The feature has since been confirmed by community manager Randy “Kaivax” Jordan, who talked a little bit about Blizzard’s intent on the official forums. For one thing, it doesn’t look like Blizzard is interested in making the game fully playable on controllers....

At IGN Expo last night, Saber Interactive revealed World War Z: Aftermath, a new expansion coming to the game later this year. Aftermath brings a host of new content to World War Z, such as new characters, new story locations, and new zombies. Aftermath also introduces a couple of big features, such as the revamped melee system, which allows players to dual-wield melee weapons and effectively use them against zombies....
