Sony’s PlayStation 4 continues to dominate the world of gaming, with over 75 million consoles in the wild. And what’s selling all those consoles? Great games! Games like the incredible-looking “The Last of Us: Part II,” which Sony dug into in a lengthy video on Monday evening: It’s one of […]

A new entry in the legendary video game series “DOOM” is in production. The game is named “DOOM Eternal” – it’s a direct sequel to the 2016 refresh of the “DOOM” franchise. Like the original “DOOM 2,” the game is set at least partially on Earth. For over 25 years, […]

The massive success of “Fortnite” and “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” is making major waves in the video game industry. Earlier this year, Activision announced that this year’s “Call of Duty” would have a Battle Royale mode. On Saturday, EA announced that this year’s “Battlefield V” also will. The announcement is indicative of […]

This fall, Tetris is coming to the PlayStation 4. But this isn’t quite like any Tetris game you’ve ever played before. “Tetris Effect” looks like a new, trippy and breathtaking way to play one of the most popular video games of all time. It’s inspired by a scientific phenomena of […]

The company behind the biggest game in the world, “Fortnite,” is being taken to court by the studio responsible for the second-biggest game in the world, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” also known as “PUBG.” Stranger still: The two companies involved share a mutual investor, the Chinese holding company Tencent. Bluehole, the South […]

For the first time in nearly a decade, this year’s “Battlefield” game is returning to World War II. The game’s name: “Battlefield 5”. That’s right – despite the last game in the series being named “Battlefield 1” – the series is returning to a standard numbering convention. Semantics aside, “Battlefield […]

Are you ready for a bunch of new games for Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One? Because they’re coming! On the cusp of their respective five-year anniversaries, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are going head-to-head once more at the annual video game trade show E3 in mid-June. But, […]

The PlayStation 4 is here to stay – at least for now. The new head of PlayStation, John Kodera, said it will be another three years before we see a PlayStation 5. “We will use the next three years to prepare the next step, to crouch down so that we […]

With just a few weeks left until the biggest game show of the year, the unthinkable has happened: A massive leak. The image below was taken from Walmart’s Canadian website, which accidentally posted placeholder artwork for just shy of 40 games. Many of the games are known quantities, but a […]

“Rage 2” is what happens when the open-world experience of “Grand Theft Auto” meets the sun-drenched post-apocalypse. Just look at this madness: The newly-unveiled “Rage 2” won’t arrive for at least another year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, but we got our first good look at it this […]

“Fortnite” is everywhere, being played by everyone, and yet it’s tremendously difficult. If you’re one of the many new players just jumping into “Fortnite,” or one of the many people still struggling to eek out a coveted victory royale, we’ve got your back. Here are the eight best tips, tricks, […]

Games published by SonyInteractive Entertainment are no longer available for preorder on Amazon.That includes many anticipated exclusives for Playstation 4. Customers noticed the change in April, around the time that “God of War” was released. Amazon usually courts gamers with perks like 20% off preorder titles for Prime members. Nobody […]

“Fortnite” is a free game – stop wondering. There’s a paid version of it, and you can buy stuff in it, but it costs nothing to jump into the game’s wildly popular “Battle Royale” mode that pits 100 players against each other in a fight to the death. If you […]

Everyone, suddenly, is playing “Fortnite.” Your friends, and your partner, and your coworkers, and your favourite musicians, and even the Houston Astros. Sure! It’s a real big deal, and there are plenty of broad reasons why that’s the case. But some of the best things about “Fortnite” are the tiny […]

Everyone is playing “Fortnite.” It’s a straight-up phenomenon. More than just being a fun, unique game, there are two really obvious reasons “Fortnite” has become dominant: It’s free! More importantly, it doesn’t feel free – it presents as a polished, premium game that could stand up to blockbusters that cost […]

The much-anticipated meteor shower kicking off season four of “Fortnite” has arrived. The meteor shower has reshaped the main island, altering some regions and (bizarrely) adding a few new ones. Season four’s arrival was teased by a meteor that appeared in the sky above the game’s island, driving players to […]

Despite being very similar games in concept, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” (“PUBG”) and “Fortnite: Battle Royale” are very different to play. Due to its cartoon art style and less serious tone, many players consider “PUBG” to be the more challenging game. The world’s most popular “Fortnite” streamer (and former “PUBG” streamer), Tyler […]

You are not ready for “God of War” on PlayStation 4. I certainly wasn’t. Maybe you’ve seen the trailers, or read our review? Or maybe you’re only vaguely aware of a PlayStation 4 reboot to the long-running “God of War” franchise? Maybe you’ve never played a “God of War” game! […]

The new “God of War” game has a secret ending. It’s easy to miss, but it’s not hard to find after you finish the game’s main storyline. Here are spoiler-free instructions for how to see the ending. The new “God of War” game is so much fun to play, you […]

The PlayStation 4 came out nearly five years ago. The same can be said of the Xbox One – the two video game consoles were announced and launched in 2013 with similar specs and target audiences. Five years is a long time in a console’s life span. Normally, both consoles […]

Video games: They’re generally pretty good! They can be fun, and smart, and beautiful, and challenging, and – sometimes – all of those at once. And then sometimes, they can be none of those things at all. Sometimes, they’re real, real bad. Such is the case with the games you’ll […]

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are discounting consoles, accessories, and hundreds of games. It’s just in time for E3, the biggest gaming event of the year. The PlayStation sales end Monday, while Nintendo’s sales run until June 21 and the Xbox sales end June 23. A limited-edition PlayStation 4 Slim is […]

The world’s most popular game, “Fortnite,” was offline from Wednesday evening to Thursday afternoon. Tens of millions of players were unable to access the insanely popular game for nearly 24 hours. As an apology, Epic Games is giving out a some free stuff to players of the game’s “Battle Royale” […]

The biggest game in the world right now is “Fortnite,” with tens of millions of people playing monthly. The game, which is played entirely online, was offline from Wednesday night to Thursday afternoon. Epic Games, the studio that makes “Fortnite,” worked non-stop to get the massively popular game online again. […]

In 2017, the game to play was “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” – a sweeping epic that set a standard for the year. In 2018, that game is the new “God of War” – an incredible, similarly epic journey that I spent two weeks playing more or […]

With tens of millions of players each, both “Fortnite” and “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” (“PUBG”) are incredibly popular games in the nascent “Battle Royale” genre of video game. They’re on consoles, and phones, and computers. Kids are playing them, adults are playing them, maybe you’re playing them, too.Even Drake’s getting in on […]

After a long hiatus, the long-running PlayStation video game series “God of War” is back – and it looks nuts. For its big new entry on the PlayStation 4, “God of War” is getting an outright reboot. It still stars Kratos – the bald, extremely pale gentleman you see above […]

Despite being absurdly popular, “Fortnite” is a tremendously difficult game to master. Due to the nature of how the game works, there’s little opportunity to practice without risk of death. In an upcoming update, the game is getting a new mode that offers players a much better opportunity to practice […]

The gorgeous, controversial game “No Man’s Sky” is back. The space exploration game is headed to the Xbox One this summer. Alongside the new platform, “No Man’s Sky” is getting a major new update called, “No Man’s Sky NEXT.” Few details are known about the “NEXT” expansion. It’s being called […]

Few games are as gorgeous as this: That’s “Far Cry 5,” a brand new game for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC from the publisher behind blockbusters like “Assassin’s Creed.” It’s outrageously pretty, set in the wilds of modern day Montana. When you’re not taking down the violent religious […]

Between “Super Mario Odyssey,” “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” “Horizon Zero Dawn,” and “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” it’s going to be hard to top 2017’s game line-up. But 2018 has some massive games of its own. From major new Nintendo games to highly-anticipated sequels, 2018 is full of promising […]

“Burnout” is back! 10 years after “Burnout Paradise” demonstrated what a car game could be, the crash-filled racing series is back to show up everyone once again. In “Burnout Paradise Remastered,” you get the same incredible open-world racing game that impressed critics and fans alike way back in 2008. Better […]

Nearly six months after launch, “Star Wars Battlefront 2” is finally addressing its controversial “loot box” system. After an update scheduled for March 21, virtual prize boxes in “Battlefront 2” will only contain “credits or cosmetic items, such as emotes or victory poses, but nothing that impacts gameplay.” When it […]

Microsoft is blaming Sony for not allowing Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners to play games together. “We’ve worked closely with Nintendo to allow cross-network play between Xbox One and Switch, and our offer to do the same with PlayStation players still holds,” a Microsoft representative told Kotaku. While it’s […]

“Super Mario” is an anomaly compared with most modern video games. Not the character – video games are rife with cartoonish characters – but the franchise. Nintendo is a rare exception in the modern era, as it keeps its blockbuster franchises locked to its platforms. Other than that, most video […]

Between “Super Mario Odyssey,” “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” “Horizon Zero Dawn,” and “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” 2017’s game lineup was hard to top. But 2018 has some massive games of its own. From major new Nintendo games to highly-anticipated sequels, 2018 is full of promising new games. As […]

Can you feel it? The wave is coming. With March, the first huge wave of game releases is about to crash. Prepare yourself! Between a major new entry in the blockbuster “Far Cry” series – set in the United States for the first-time ever, no less – and a huge […]

You might think a major new game in the long-running “Metal Gear” franchise would elicit a ton of hype. The last major “Metal Gear” game, “Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain,” was a blockbuster phenomenon – just like every major “Metal Gear” release before it. But things are quite […]

Nintendo is on a roll, with no end in sight. The company’s latest big game – “Super Mario Odyssey” – received near-universal praise, and the Nintendo Switch is beating the competition month after month in sales. There’s a good reason for that: The Nintendo Switch is the best console to […]

Nintendo’s Switch is a major hit and, just under two years in, it’s already got a ton of great games. If you want to play the best new Mario and “Legend of Zelda” games in years, there’s only one console: the Switch. Between the system being a delight to use […]

A new “Metal Gear” game launched this week on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It’s called “Metal Gear Survive,” and it’s pretty good! You’re forgiven if this is the first you’re hearing. Due to a variety of factors, the game has launched to little fanfare. The marketing push has […]

The best game I’ve played in 2018, and the best game I played last year, are the same as the best game I played way back in 2016. That game, of course, is Blizzard Entertainment’s masterpiece “Overwatch.” As Business Insider’s only reporter wholly focused on video games, I play as […]

Quantic Dream immediately took distance from the reports, denying the allegations. The studio has now released a new statement, in […]

The company that makes “Grand Theft Auto” isn’t known for pumping out games. You may recall that the latest “GTA” game came out in 2013 – that’s the most recent release from Rockstar Games. But a new game from Rockstar is just on the horizon: “Red Dead Redemption 2.” The […]

The best game to launch in 2018 thus far is a game from over 10 years ago. That game, of course, is “Shadow of the Colossus” on the PlayStation 4. When the game originally launched on PlayStation 2 way back in 2005, it endeared a legion of fans. That dedicated […]
