In today's Daily Fix: Redfall's promised single-player update was set for sometime in May, and was being actively worked on until Microsoft closed the studio earlier this week. All development on the game has stopped, and the planned DLC set for this Halloween has been scrapped. This suggests that the studio had no prior warning that it was in danger of closing until the announcement from Xbox came. In other news, Nintendo is reviving the Nintendo World Championships with a new collection for...

In today's gaming news: If you've been wondering when Microsoft was going to announce Redfall's expected DLC, wonder no more. Microsoft has made significant cuts across Bethesda, shuttering Redfall developer Arkane Austin, as well as Tango GameWorks, Alpha Dog Games, and more. Some employees at those studios will be moved to other teams, but Microsoft did not mention anything specific about layoffs. Redfall had a disastrous launch last year—the game shipped with bugs and server issues, and...

In today's Daily Fix: Congratulations, Helldivers! You beat back the might of the Sony corporation, who mandated—undemocratically—that you link a PSN account to your game even when playing on PC. Developer Arrowhead was on the side of the gamers in this fight, even going so far as to suggest players leave negative reviews of Helldivers 2 (which they did) to get the message across to Sony that this was a bad idea. The requirement, had it gone into effect, would have also stopped players in...

In today's Daily Fix: Helldivers 2 fans are up in arms, but not over the latest major order or weapon nerf—Sony is now going to require PC players to link the game to a PSN account. Don't worry, it's free (it's NOT PS Plus), but it's yet another account you'll need to sign up for if you want to keep squashing bugs and bombing 'bots. In other news, Redfall recently celebrated its one-year anniversary, and by celebrating we mean Microsoft did absolutely nothing to acknowledge that milestone. In...

In today's Daily Fix: Todd Howard is well aware of the criticisms Starfield faced when it launched last year. Starfield is Bethesda's first new IP in years, and had tons of hype built around it leading up to the release, but the game was met with tepid reviews. In other news, dataminers have seemingly found evidence of some major crossovers coming to Call of Duty: expect the likes of Fallout, Gundam, and The Crow to come to the popular shooter franchise soon. And finally, 7-Eleven is getting...

In today's Daily Fix: Bethesda has released a fairly significant patch for Starfield, finally adding detailed maps to the game.

Bethesda also teased the game's first major expansion, Shattered Space, which is coming this Fall. In other news, a new report has detailed when Xbox's biggest first-party games are coming this year, including offerings from...

In today's Daily Fix: Square Enix has issued a warning to investors that it will absorb significant losses for the fiscal year that ended in March 2024. The publisher and developer also said it is going to be "more selective and focused" in how it spends its resources. The recently released Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth is rumored to be struggling with sales, and their Splatoon-like multiplayer game, Foamstars, appears to be a dud. In other news, Microsoft has announced the lineup of games for...

In today's Daily Fix: Fallout 4's "free" next-gen update dropped last week, but many PlayStation users were left out in the Wasteland when a supposed bug kept it from certain versions of the game. Gamers who downloaded the game via PS Plus were unable to download the update, with Bethesda saying it was a bug. Now the publisher is confirming that players who own the game via the PS Plus Collection will NOT be getting the update, but owners of the game through PS Plus Essentials will get it...

In today's Daily Fix: The Fallout 4 next-gen update went live yesterday, and it looks like PS Plus users not getting access is just oen of the game's many new problems. Issues with textures, crashes, freezes, framerate, resolution, and more are plentiful. The good news? PS Plus subscribers will be getting the update eventually; it was a bug that Fallout 4 from updating properly through that service. In other bug news, the second major patch for Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is...

In today's Daily Fix: Fallout 4's much-anticipated next-gen (or rather, current-gen) update went live today, and though it was touted as a free upgrade, some users won't be able to download it without handing over some bottle caps. It seems like PlayStation 4 and 5 owners who downloaded the game when it was free via PS Plus can't download the update unless they pay for the game. Bethesda did mention that the upgrade was free to those who purchased the game, either physically or digitally,...

In today's Daily Fix: The success of Prime Video's Fallout series has not only earned it a second season, but the game franchise saw a significant bump in activity since the show debuted. Overall, 5 million players logged in some time across all the Fallout games, including the original non-Bethesda entries. Fallout 76 in particular saw one million players wandering the Wasteland in a single day. Quite the turnaround for a game that had a very rough launch. In other news, Valve has closed a...

In today's Daily Fix: The main voice actors for Grand Theft Auto 5 have confirmed what we all hoped was true: there was story DLC planned for the game. According to the voices of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin, work had begun on the expansion and some of the dialogue was even recorded, but it was scrapped when GTA Online blew up, becoming a huge cash cow for Rockstar. In other news, the modding team behind Fallout London is a little annoyed with Bethesda. When news dropped that Fallout 4 was...

In today's Daily Fix: It finally happened: Grand Theft Auto 5 is on Switch. Well, not really, but it's proof that it can be done. Modders took the game's source code and got it running on the Nintendo Switch. It doesn't run well, but maybe if Rockstar put some resources behind an official port, it probably maybe sort of can be done. In other news, an EA exec is mad at Stellar Blade—not over the game itself, but that Stellar Blade is a pretty violent game, and somehow that passed the Japanese...

In today's Daily Fix: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was released just two months ago, but there are signs that the game is falling short of sales expectations. The game's sales are slow compared to its predecessor Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and last summer's Final Fantasy 16. It also doesn't help that the game is a PS5 exclusive (there are fewer PS5's currently sold than PS4's), and it costs $10 more than FF7 Remake did back in 2020. In other news, a new patch is coming for Dragon's Dogma 2 that will...

In today's Daily Fix: Apple has eased some of their restrictions on gaming emulators, and now the first big one, Delta has popped up for free. Sorry, we're not going to tell you how to get ROM's on you iPhone, but if you want to try it out, do so now before Nintendo inevitably comes for it. In other news, Rare has announced that 40 million pirates have sailed on the Sea of Thieves, which is great news just ahead of the PS5 launch later this month. And finally, Larian Studios has maybe one...

n today's Daily Fix: Sony is porting its hit open-world samurai action game Ghost of Tsushima to PC (in its Director's Cut form), and we have the PC specs you'll need to run it. And if you have a PC that's at least 6 years old, you should be okay. In other news, Hasbro is looking for partners to make the next Baldur's Gate game after Larian Studios have announced they will not be returning, despite the massive success of Baldur's Gate 3. And finally, you can play Hades 2 early, even earlier...

In today's Daily Fix: The second wave of titles coming to Game Pass have been announced, and there's a little bit of something for everyone. The well-reviewed stop-motion adventure game Harold Halibut will be a day one launch title, along with soulslike Another Man's Treasure and JRPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Sports fans will get EA Sports NHL 24, and strategy nerds will like Orcs Must Die! 3 and the hotly anticipated Manor Lords for PC. In other news, Ubisoft is responding to the...

In today's Daily Fix: More details about the still unofficial PlayStation 5 Pro have leaked online. Via The Verge, hardware specs for the PS5 Pro, codenamed 'Trinity,' suggest an emphasis on better ray tracing and displaying games at better frame rates with higher resolution (finally true 4K/60fps maybe?). Sony has not confirmed anything publicly about a potential PS5 Pro, but all evidence points to a Holiday 2024 launch. In other news, Ubisoft is facing more backlash regarding Star Wars...

In today's Daily Fix: Grand Theft Auto 6 only dropped one trailer so far, but that hasn't stopped fans from making their own. A creative group of YouTubers got together to recreate the trailer IRL, and using actual Miami as the setting. It's pretty impressive, and accurate, even having actors portray the game's leads. In other crime-related news, a man in Japan was arrested for tampering with and selling Pokémon save data. He said he did it to make a living, which is probably the most honest...

n today's Daily Fix: If watching Prime Video's Fallout series has you nostalgic for adventures in the wasteland, Bethesda has some good news.

In today's Daily Fix: IO Interactive's mysterious James Bond game, codenamed Project 007, gained a prominent new staff member recently. Rodrigo Santoro, who has worked on high profile games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and The Division games, will be joining as 007's misson director. The game doesn't have a release date or even a proper title, but we're hoping it's not too dissimilar from IO's great Hitman games. In other news, Blizzard isn't ready to move on from the PS4 and Xbox One...

In today's Daily Fix: Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws finally has a release date to go along with a slick new story trailer. The game will be out August 30th, right after Black Myth Wukong on August 20th, and STALKER 2 on September 5th. Star Wars Outlaws takes place during the Rebellion Era, sandwiched between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and judging by the trailer, expect a cameo or two from some familiar Original Trilogy faces. In other news, Call of Duty's latest weapon...

There had been rumors of late that Xbox might go third-party, after recently announcing that several first-party games will make it to PS5 and Switch.

In other news, we have some casting news on GTA 6, or rather,...

In today's Daily Fix: For better or worse, Stellar Blade is already drumming up plenty of discussion online, and it's not even out yet. But one thing gamers will be happy to hear about is post-launch costume DLC and New Game Plus will be free (with some exceptions, like cross-brand collabs). Developer Shift Up also hasn't ruled out paid DLC, but you can expect the first wave of content to be free. In other news, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that several easter eggs in Cyberpunk 2077 still...
