One month on from launch, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has broken multiple major records for the FPS franchise, including the total number of hours played.

After spending a couple generations away from the handheld market, Sony seems to be making a grand return. Following on from the surprise success of the PlayStation Portal, reports are claiming that Sony is planning to make a proper Nintendo Switch competitor.

The Game Awards have been around for well over a decade and at this point, the TGAs have cemented themselves as the biggest awards show for the industry. Keighley knows how to draw people in with promises of new game trailers and other announcements, leading to huge moments like Bethesda's reveal for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or Microsoft's Xbox Series X reveal. Winning the show's GOTY award is considered to be a badge of honour, so let's take a look back at the last ten GOTY winners and whether or not they deserved it. 

Over the course of 2024, Valve has introduced a ton of new and appreciated pro-consumer features to its Steam platform. From the revamped family sharing to increased integration with the Steam Deck and more, Valve has been putting in the work to continue improving the platform. The latest update sees a new, more transparent / user-friendly approach to DLC and Season Passes.

Ahead of its launch early next month, the Marvel Rivals team have shared a bunch of new launch details – alongside Season 1 plans.

Despite not being an Activision Blizzard title, Avowed will launch on the publisher’s platform ‘Battle.net’ alongside Steam and the Windows/Xbox store.

AGON by AOC is raising the bar again with its latest creation: the AGON Pro AG276FK. This 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor boasts a Fast IPS panel and an astonishing refresh rate of 520Hz, making it one of the first monitors with these specs to be released.

In the past year we have seen Xbox begin to open the floodgates when it comes to bringing previous system exclusives to PS5 and Switch. While Microsoft’s CEO has shared some mixed messaging with regards to Xbox exclusives, Phil Spencer has now confirmed that there are no “red lines” when it comes to bringing games to PlayStation/Switch.

Stellar Blade is one of the most discussed PS5 exclusives of the year. Released back in April, the game saw a great deal of success, helping studio SHIFT UP to expand their team and even take the company public. While they previously expressed interest in bringing the title to PC at some point in the future, studio SHIFT UP have now confirmed their plans for a PC port of Stellar Blade to arrive next year in 2025.

The launch of the new Intel Core Ultra 200S family of CPUs along with Z890 motherboards was a thorny process. KitGuru suffered along with pretty much every other review site on the planet and you may have noticed we held off from reviewing of the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 5 245K as it is clear to us that Intel has some work to do before this platform is ready for action.

Following in the footsteps of Fortnite, it seems as though EA is considering adding a subscription service to Apex Legends.

Concord’s release earlier this Summer marks perhaps the biggest flop in PlayStation history – with the live-service Hero Shooter being delisted in less than two weeks, and the devs (Firewalk Studios) being completely shut down shortly after. Sony has now officially commented on this most recent failure, claiming that “With regards to new IP, of course, you don't know the result until you actually try it.”

Intel hasn't talked much about the Battlemage desktop GPU yet, but that might change soon. We'll reportedly learn more about Intel's next-gen GPUs in December.

Despite its successor releasing earlier this year, 2019’s COD: Mobile continues to be more popular than ever – having now surpassed 1 billion downloads.

Nvidia GeForce, RTX, Quadro, NVS and Tesla GPU users will want to update their drivers soon. Nvidia has pushed out a hotfix with a number of critical security fixes that if left unfixed, could allow for unauthorised access to systems. 

Acer has kicked off Black Friday season a little early with some big discounts on Predator memory and SSDs. The company has also launched its fastest Predator DDR5 RAM yet, hitting impressive speeds of 8400MT/s. 

Yesterday, Sony made the decision to officially scrap development on Concord and shut down the studio behind it. In the aftermath, Firewalk Studios has released its own farewell letter.

With Dragon Age: The Veilguard officially out, Bioware confirmed they are shifting focus to Mass Effect 5 – meaning no post-launch DLC for the fantasy RPG.

At long last, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is releasing later this month. Just in time for launch, the PC system requirements have been revealed.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circie won't fall into the same 30FPS trappings as some other recent Xbox exclusives. Machine Games is targeting a smooth 60FPS for both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.

Following its explosive popularity in the wake of 2017’s Monster Hunter World, hype for the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds has been at an all-time high. With the open beta for the upcoming RPG live right now, we can see just how excited fans are for next year’s release – seeing almost half a million concurrent players on Steam.

AMD kicks off the rollout of its 3D V-Cache equipped Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This is an 8-core, 16-thread chip utilising Zen 5 and AMD's 2nd generation 3D V-Cache technology.

Just as how the legacy of Halo stretches back to the roots of the OG Xbox, Master Chief and co. had – in the early days – a strong presence on PC. Unfortunately, 2015’s Halo 5 never came to the platform, and we now know why.
