According to SteamDB, the game had a peak of 764,835 players in less than a day, already giving it the 7th highest peak of all time. For comparison with current trends, Elden Ring is just behind Lost Ark (~900,000) and Counter-Strike (~840,000). It’s also far higher than previous Soulsborne games. Dark Souls 3 hit a peak of 130,000 players, while Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice hit a peak of 125,000. All this despite Elden Ring’s PC version being somewhat unstable....

It’s fitting, considering both the game and Valve’s handheld are released today. Valve is rating games for the Steam Deck based on compatibility and Elden Ring has received verified status. It’s surprising though considering PC performance of Elden Ring has been heavily criticised. Prior to launch, many were surprised by the high minimum specs required. Digital Foundry has since reviewed performance of the game, noting frame rate issues with the PC version....

Will a leaner, more focused Square Enix now itself be sold to an interested party (cough PlayStation)? Is this actually good news for mothballed series such as Deus Ex? And on a related note, we talk about the latest rumblings of a Ubisoft acquisition - and whether we think the Assassin’s Creed creator is the next big games industry acquisition. Joining me to discuss all of that are Eurogamer news reporters Ed Nightingale, Victoria Kennedy and Ishraq Subhan....

Tango Gameworks is calling Ghostwire: Tokyo a “supernatural action-adventure thriller”, and its story unfolds in an eerie, haunted version of Tokyo after nearly all the city’s population has mysteriously vanished. Players take on the role of Akito, a young man who awakens in a deserted Tokyo street to discover that strange elemental powers are coursing through his veins - soon revealed to be the work of a spirit known as KK who has possessed Akito’s body....

This expansion was only ever designed and never produced, David Brevik, who was the co-founder and president of defunct studio Blizzard North, said on Twitter over the weekend. “I had a multi-page design doc going over new classes, new areas, new mechanics and story concepts,” Brevik revealed. “That’s as far as it got.” Diablo 2, which is currently set for a remaster, launched in June 2000 and met with critical and commercial acclaim....

This wasn’t a problem for me a couple of years ago, but I’ve recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I’ve felt the full effects when trying to play MMORPGs. From being able to spam buttons with no problem when playing tanks in World of Warcraft to suddenly feeling exhausted doing the smallest rotations, I’ve had to carefully consider my classes and what is easiest and most accessible for me. Let’s talk about World of Warcraft first....

New footage of the game was shown at the Final Fantasy 7 25th anniversary celebration, presented by producer Yoshinori Kitase.

The footage shows Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth, with a female voiceover. “Wait, what are you implying? That I died?...

That’s according to an interview in Animation Magazine with Bruno Danzel d’Aumont, VP of international licensing and marketing at the Paris-based animation studio Cyber Group Studios that’s looking after the series.

Originally announced in June, Flight Simulator’s sixth World Update - which follows similar enhancements for Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and the United States - introduces new aerials and elevation maps for Germany, Austria, and Germany, alongside new photogrammetry cities, four hand-crafted airports, and nearly 100 points of interest. Previous reveals from developer Asobo have confirmed three of those airports - Klagenfurt Airport (LOWK) Lübeck Airport (EDHL), and St....

Arsen Shakhbabyan, an animator who helped make the controversial Aeon Must Die trailer that first premiered during last year’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast, had his attorney file the copyright claim after the trailer re-emerged on publisher Focus Home Interactive’s YouTube channel last month. The trailer for the game shown during the August 2020 State of Play, below, depicts a visually arresting beat-’em-up that caught the attention of PlayStation fans....

Since this is a legendary quest, you must complete it before the next set appears or you won’t be able to collect the XP it earns.

This particular quests asks you to find a total of two records in either Pleasant Park or Craggy Cliffs....

Coming after Mini-puft locations and Seismograph locations, you’ll have to place three Ghostbusters Signs somewhere on the map. There are plenty of locations to deploy them - with three named locations, Holly Hedges, Dirty Docks or Pleasant Park to choose from - giving you plenty of choice. Where you’re going to ‘call’ in on, is up to you. Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What’s new?...

Defeating the Predator will unlock the new Predator skin, so that you can truly hunt down other players in style. First, however, you need to know the Predator’s location and how to defeat the Predator or you might find yourself very dead, very quickly. Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What’s new? Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived! New additions include Reality Seeds and Saplings and riding animals, along with the new Battle Pass, characters collection and map changes....

The chain will continue to enforce a limit of one console per customer, and subject each order to automatic checks after it has been put through. This may mean that repeat orders initially appear to have worked, GAME said in a statement posted to Twitter, and may mean those trying to scalp successfully receive multiple order confirmation emails. (This line seems designed to counteract the potential for screenshots of dozens of “order confirmed” emails encouraging further scalping....

When this update goes live, players will be able to continue on with their adventures in The Chasm. But they will not be alone there, as they will join a new team of “diverse members” to “discover a long-sealed history about the people, monsters and the yakshas”.

They’re very much worth your time, making the game’s combat drastically more interesting to play around with, but it’s not immediately obvious how to find them. This page will detail all Mythic Tale locations in Ghost of Tsushima, including where to find all the musicians which hand out the quests, and all Mythic Tale rewards so you know what you’re getting for your time, too. On this page: You’ll only be able to find Yamato and take on his Mythic Tales after certain stages of the story, though - it’s not totally clear which, as you can pick some up from rumours and rescued villagers, but we noted when they were available for us below....

First of all, it’s important to put the improvements to Ghost of Tsushima into two distinct categories. As part of the process, the original game receives a free patch to introduce a number of key enhancements, one of which we consider to be a major upgrade - the ability to enable a target lock-on. The omission of this in the original game was a disappointment and compromised the quality of the combat, so it’s great to see that the developer took the feedback on board and added in the feature....
