Summer Game Fest's glitzy flagship showcase might be over for another year, but that doesn't mean we're done just yet - far from it! There'll be more bluster to come on Sunday when Microsoft shares its wares during the Xbox Games Showcase, for instance (unless its new executive team has capitulated to internet fanboys once again, in which case there's a good chance it'll be called the LOLPLAYSTATIONSUX Showcase), but first - like the zen meat in a chaos sandwich - Day of the Devs has done its thing once more.

Satisfactory 1.2 has arrived, and that matters whether you're a long-term builder, a creative mode junkie, or someone starting out on their first adventure through the factory-crafting sandbox game. Coffee Stain Studios has spent months packing all manner of new quality-of-life features, additional tools, and aesthetic touches into its latest Satisfactory update.

Saturdays are for lying in bed and resting your sore typing fingers, muttering curses at Geoff Keighley under your breath.

With no phone battery and no taxis in the small village, I had to sleep in a park until the next morning when the trains started up again and I could get back to my bed in Bath.

Cry "Rock and Stone" and let slip the dwarves of war - Deep Rock Galactic is ready to reclaim its crown as one of the best co-op games on PC. The past year has been an incredible year for games designed to play with pals, and whether you love or hate the 'friendslop' term, your crew probably found a favorite or two among the likes of Peak, Repo, and Schedule 1. As we kick off 2026, however, I'm here to tell you that Deep Rock Galactic Season 6 is the perfect time to rediscover why it's still a serious contender for the title nearly six years on.

Ghost Ship Games could learn a thing or two from Rockstar about hiding secrets in cobwebs. While RDR2’s spider-spun mystery continues to vex seasoned easter egg hunters, the message behind a piece of Deep Rock Galactic promo art – posted on the game’s Discord server earlier today – was seemingly spotted in about twenty minutes. Still, at least it looks to be a handy bit of info: a release date for its big Season 6 update.
