News writer covering updates, release dates, platform news and the small changes that keep players checking back.
Steam
Valve's revived Steam Controller will go on sale May 4, making it the first piece of the company's new hardware lineup to reach buyers. The controller costs $99 in the US and £85 in the UK.
ARC Raiders
ARC Raiders update 1.26 adds upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution support for PS5 Pro players on April 28. Embark says the new PSSR pass should produce a sharper, more stable image without reducing performance.
PowerWash SimulatorStar Wars
PowerWash Simulator 2 is getting a Star Wars Pack this summer. FuturLab and Lucasfilm Games are sending players to clean original trilogy locations including Echo Base and the Lars Homestead.
Star Fox
The original Star Fox puppets used in SNES-era marketing appear not to have survived. Shirogumi says the models were made with natural rubber that deteriorated in air, forcing the studio to destroy them after production.
Rainbow SixRainbow Six Mobile
Rainbow Six Mobile's Operation Trauma Front season brings the House map into rotation and adds Doc as a Defense Operator. The update also refreshes limited-time playlists, ranked rewards, events and the Battle Pass.
Mega Man
Mega Man DXtreme is available now as a free PC fan game. The project reimagines Mega Man Xtreme with a rewritten story, wider screen, faster controls and reworked boss fights.
Pokemon
Pokemon Champions producer Masaaki Hoshino says he understands criticism of the game's visuals. He says the team did its best with graphics and gameplay while working within more limitations than Pokken Tournament.
Steam
A now-hidden 4Gamer article reportedly listed Valve's new Steam Controller with a May 4 release date. Valve has not confirmed the date, so the timing remains a leak for now.
Tiny Bullets
Tiny Bullets, a rare Japan-only PlayStation action-adventure originally published by Sony in 2000, can now be played in English through a new fan translation patch.
Polymega
Playmaji says Polymega support is expanding to two more vintage CD-based systems. The company has not named the consoles yet, but both will work on the Base Unit and Polymega App.
Industry
Peter Molyneux says generative AI is not good enough for game development right now, even though he expects it to disrupt the industry over time. The veteran designer also reflected on safeguards and his history of overpromising.
Resident Evil
Resident Evil Requiem has reportedly reached 7 million sales after director Koshi Nakaishi shared a celebration image from the team. Capcom had already called it the fastest-selling game in Resident Evil history after it passed 6 million copies in March.
