After delay after delay, Pragmata landed with a 9.2 and 97% positive on Steam. Hugh and Diana are gaming's best new duo, and the hacking-shooting combat is the freshest thing in the genre in years. Our full verdict is in.
Read Now →Five stories from the messy road to Grand Theft Auto VI: the August 27 Netflix-first reveal, fresh leaks, a lopsided preorder split toward the Ultimate Edition, fired Rockstar workers speaking out, and an Army unit turning launch day into a reenlistment perk.
A source calling itself CyberLeek has released multiple rounds of apparent GTA 6 footage, promoted a cryptocurrency and threatened to keep leaking material — just days before Rockstar's official gameplay presentation.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 was scheduled to join Game Pass on July 21, but Xbox has removed it from the lineup without explaining why.
Rise of the Ronin, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Firefighting Simulator: Ignite, and two cult PS2 classics headline July's PlayStation Plus additions.
Nintendo has begun rolling out revised Joy-Cons with user-replaceable batteries in Europe, with an updated Switch 2 model arriving this autumn.
Kill Block assembles three modular combat sections into more than 500 launch configurations, forcing Modern Warfare 4 players to relearn routes every match.
Mouse: P.I. For Hire renders an entire city in 1930s rubber-hose animation and wraps a boomer shooter inside it. It's a debut that has no right being this confident — and at $39.99, it's the easiest recommendation of the week.

Pragmata 9.2 is deserved. The hacking mechanic genuinely changes how you think about the gunplay — Diana isn't a gimmick, she's the whole game.
Hades II at 120fps on PS5 is something else. Console players were sleeping on what PC had. It's not hyperbole to call this one of the best games ever made.
Mouse P.I. is my sleeper of the year. Nobody was talking about it two weeks ago. At $9.99 it would be a steal — at $39.99 it's still an easy yes.
Vampire Crawlers tomorrow. Poncle going from Vampire Survivors to a first-person deckbuilder blobber is the most unhinged pivot in indie dev history and I respect it completely.
