That is the Logitech G Adaptive Gaming Kit, which is more or less a tool set for the Xbox Adaptive Controller that supplies even more functionality for players with specific needs. It also turned into a rich and personally rewarding year of work for Starrett, a 23-year veteran of joystick and peripheral design. “I probably would have made maybe another keyboard,” had he not been put on the Adaptive Gaming Kit project, Starrett said. The Adaptive Gaming Kit’s variable triggers are probably the bi

Google is nearly doubling the number of games that will be available for Stadia, the company’s new game streaming technology, on launch day. On the eve of the platform’s launch, Google has confirmed 10 more games for Stadia, bringing the total number of games available on Nov. 19 to 22. Those 10 new games were previously confirmed to arrive on Stadia before the end of 2019. But now titles like Final Fantasy 15, Metro Exodus, and NBA 2K20 will be available on day one. Google has also thrown in th

Rainbow Six Siege’s Year 4, Season 4 debut is coming soon. “Shifting Tides” as it is called, is already on public test servers for PC (having been in place since Monday) which portends a launch across all platforms. And it brings out a big-ass gun, the likes of which we haven’t seen since Danny Vermin’s .88 magnum. The CSRX 300 is the first bolt-action rifle in Siege, carried by Kali, a new operator who also comes aboard with the update. Joining Wamai, Kali, and the new bullet physics for Shifti

Capcom will release a new version of Street Fighter 5, dubbed the Champion Edition version, on Feb. 14, 2020. Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition will include all existing content from Street Fighter 5 and Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition, with the exception of the game’s Fighting Chance costumes, brand collaboration costumes, and Capcom Pro Tour downloadable content. Capcom also promises new V-Skills for each character and a balance update with Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition. Capcom will sel

Power Rangers: Legacy Wars is a 2017 mobile game for iOS and Android devices, and even if you’re not interested in a fighting game on a phone, its recent crossover with Street Fighter is a little intriguing, because Chun-Li is in a Power Rangers getup. Chun-Li herself has been in the game since May 2018 (with colleagues Ryu, Guile, Akuma, Cammy, and M. Bison) but this is an alternate look cooked up by nWay Games. As Chun-Li Ranger, she can set her foe alight with blue Phoenix fire using the Volc

This has been a bad stretch for video games social media, particularly the accounts of the sports publishers. 2K Games had their social media hacked almost across-the-board yesterday evening, including the account of 2K Sports’ Ronnie Singh, better known as Ronnie 2K. — Ronnie 2K 2K20 (@Ronnie2K) November 16, 2019Social media accounts across the 2K label were compromised early Friday evening. Twitter’s own chief executive, Jack Dorsey, had his account hacked at the end of August, after all. So,

In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the new game from Respawn Entertainment, that bigger fish isn’t as literal: it’s the threat by Imperial Inquisitors. Fans who have devoured every piece of Star Wars lore are familiar with the Inquisitors by now. But those who haven’t caught up on the novels, comics, and most importantly the Star Wars: Rebels animated series, might be a little confused when these lightsaber-wielding enemies first appear in the new Star Wars game. To help you understand Fallen Orde

Dwarf Fortress will be getting graphics soon, much to the delight of its devoted fans. But, after nearly 17 years in development, there’s a few final items that need to get finished first. Previous versions of Dwarf Fortress (full title Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter 2: Dwarf Fortress) featured vampires that similarly blend in with your community. That should make infiltrators far more difficult to suss out once they’re actually in your fortress. The final step before they’re released int

Now that the latest Pokémon games are out in the wild, fans everywhere are deciding between Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. But, a segment of the fandom is also currently scared, thanks to social media posts that claim Pokémon Sword and Shield are deleting all of their Switch save files. One viral Twitter post, for example, initially states that the autosave function somehow managed to not only corrupt a Pokémon game and its save files, the crash also managed to bork save files for other games o

One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is actually, factually coming to video game consoles, folks. The answer lies within its three-fighter structure, where players may choose Saitama (One-Punch Man) for their team if they wish, but he may show up late to the brawl — if at all. In his pajama’d state (as seen in One-Punch Man’s first episode, where he dukes it out with Subterranean King) One-Punch Man is just a regular fighter. Spike Chunsoft has other tricks up its sleeve to make One-Punch Man comp

Since then, developer Wube Software has been working on the full release of the hit factory-management sim. Instead of trying to fit every feature in, the team will focus on getting the important changes in before February. He says that after Factorio’s 1.0 release, the team will take a short rest then focus on building content and features for the game. Thankfully for fans, and Wube themselves, the wait for the full release of Factorio shouldn’t be too hard. After all the early access version o

Or two, you can buy Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It’s not a bad deal when you consider that the latest Star Wars game is actually pretty good. Our review of Jedi: Fallen Order states that it is a single-player exploration game that shakes up what we typically expect from Star Wars titles. Disney, of course, owns both Marvel and Star Wars, and if Fortnite is family-friendly enough for one, it’s good for both. Correction: A previous version of this article stated that you had to buy Star Wars Jed

Obsidian Entertainment is making a multiplayer survival game. Called Grounded, it shrinks players down to the size of an insect, and then sets them loose in a stereotypical American backyard. That didn’t stop Obsidian from completing and releasing The Outer Worlds, which launched to rave reviews just last month. Action then goes underground, where the player character holds a tiny match to light his way before fighting with ants in first-person. Today’s trailer indicates that the game is destine

Share All sharing options for: Why Fortnite is the most important game of the decadeIn the two short years since its release, Epic Games’ battle royale game Fortnite has reshaped not just video games, but pop culture. Just as Fortnite launched, Korean developer Bluehole struck gold in the PC multiplayer space with its battle royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. While PUBG staked its claim as the first hit game in the battle royale space, Epic dug an entire gold mine with Fortnite: Battle R

The reticle is that little dot, crosshairs, or aiming circle on your screen that’s so common you might not have thought much about it. Sure, it helps you aim, but the reticle has other incredibly important purposes that are easy to take for granted. A lot of the early FPS games, like Doom (1993) and Goldeneye (1997) didn’t bother with one. Outside of Halo, which arguably perfected the crosshair in 2001, first-person shooters generally didn’t get wise to using the reticle as a form of communicati

This is a movie about confronting the truth about the past, rectifying past wrongs, and realizing that people change. Frozen was ultimately about sisterhood, but Anna and Elsa spent most of the film apart, and navigating separate problems. A scene where Olaf reenacts the events of the original Frozen feels a little like Disney patting itself on the back for its success six years ago. Frozen 2 follows in the path of last year’s Ralph Breaks the Internet by not having an actual villain. The door i

For the entire game, players return to a flash forward, the imprisoned protagonist telling the story of the famed Phantom Thieves to detective Sae Nijima. Toward the end of the game, players reach the flashforward point, and Nijima walks out of the interrogation room. —RGRed Dead RedemptionThe ending of John Marston’s story in Red Dead Redemption is one of the all time video game spoilers. Toward the end of the game, players discover that the Arkham Knight is actually Jason Todd, the second Robi

The developer of Sea of Thieves, Banjo-Kazooie, and Battletoads revealed its next project, an open-world adventure titled Everwild, during Microsoft’s X019 Inside Xbox presentation on Thursday. Everwild is an all-new property for Rare, but the developer didn’t reveal much in the way of details about its next project. A debut trailer for the game, which you can watch above, showed a colorful and magical world inhabited by fantastical creatures — sadly none of them made of piñata materials. Humans

At today’s X019 event, Rare showed off the next addition to the pirate sandbox Sea of Thieves. The next update is The Seabound Soul, a Tall Tale where players join Captain Pendragon to uncover the mystery of a ship called the Ashen Dragon. They were first introduced in the Anniversary Update for Sea of Thieves, and can be accessed from the Adventure mode of the game. In addition, Sea of Thieves players will have to contend with a hot new danger: fire. The Seabound Soul will go live in Sea of Thi

Bleeding Edge, the multiplayer free-for-all announced at E3 2019, will launch March 24, 2020 on Xbox One and Windows PC, and will be available in Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, Microsoft announced today at X019. Bleeding Edge is the newest game from Ninja Theory, which was one of six studios scooped up by Microsoft in 2018 to start making Xbox and Windows PC games for them. Ninja Theory is the studio behind Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and DmC: Devil May Cry. If you need a refresher on what Bleed
