News Capcom Finally Breaks Silence on Dragon's Dogma 2, Confirms New Update Is Incoming
Big Dogma
It's been quite some time since Capcom last piped up about Dragon's Dogma 2. The game's most recent update dropped several months ago, near the beginning of July, and the developer's maintained radio silence ever since. However, with Tokyo Game Show looming — and Dragon's Dogma 2 being named as a title that'll be 'PS5 Pro Enhanced' —...

News Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 7 Delayed Into October on PS5
Unlucky 7
Baldur's Gate 3's highly anticipated Patch 7 is out right now on PC — but unfortunately, the wait continues on PS5.

News Overlooked PS5 RPG Atlas Fallen Just Got Its Game-Changing Reign of Sand Update
"The ultimate version"
Atlas Fallen seemed to just come and go when it first launched this time last year, but the action-focused RPG was still fairly well received. Those who gave it a shot seemed to think it was pretty solid, and while critic reviews leaned into lukewarm territory with 6s and 7s, developer Deck13 decided to stick with the title...

News Tekken 8 Patch 1.06 Adds an Awesome Photo Mode, Out Now
Devil's in the details
Patch 1.06 for Tekken 8 is out now. Primarily, it adds new DLC character Lidia to the game's already robust character roster — alongside the new Seaside Resort stage — but we'd argue that the update's true worth is hidden behind its introduction of a fully featured photo mode. Tekken 8's a great-looking fighter, and being...

News Final Fantasy 16 Patch 1.33 Makes Us Think the Frame Rate Will Never Be Fixed on PS5
One for PS5 Pro
A new update for Final Fantasy 16 has landed, and to say it's minor would probably be an understatement.

While it's nice that the action RPG is still being...

Not this time
Yet another update has arrived for Dragon's Dogma 2, bringing more positive adjustments to the open world RPG.

Sneak attack
Update: Sucker Punch says it's put a stop to the freezing problem that's been plaguing Ghost of Tsushima since the release of its latest update.
