In an interview with Polish publication Money.pl (via GameSpot), the development studio noted that The Medium has already made back both its developmental and marketing costs, meaning that any revenue from here on out is pure profit. That’s a good win for the game, considering it’s only available on two platforms at the moment (PC and Xbox Series S|X – it’s not available on Xbox One). The development team hasn’t shared a breakdown of the game’s performance, so we’re not how much the Xbox Game Pass deal contributed to the game’s success....

The kits were first teased earlier this month, and were expected to release some time this month. Now, Maxis has confirmed that these two kits, called Little Campers Kit and Moonlight Chic Kit, both of which will be released on May 26. Kits typically cost around £4.99, which will probably be the case for these two as well, and generally just introduce items. “Build your backyard for a night of creative family fun,” wrote the official Sims Twitter account....

This week, Nintendo announced that a special localization of the original Fire Emblem game is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch in December – some 30 years after its original release in Japan. Shadow Dragon & The Blade of Light arrives on Nintendo eShop from December 4, and will set you back $5.99 or your regional equivalent. Oddly, like other recent Nintendo products (such as Super Mario Bros. 35 and Super Mario 3D All-Stars trilogy), the game will only enjoy a limited release....

But ultimately, says Keisuke Kikuchi in an interview with Nintendo Everything, it is up to IP holder Nintendo. “Even though I have these hopes, this is a series that Nintendo publishes for us and I only handle the development,” said Kikuchi of the possibility of an entirely new release. “So even if I were to say I want to make another game, that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what will happen....

We’ve seen players recreate Revenge of the Sith, the entire Sinnoh map from Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, and even early 2000s music videos in the game. There appears to be no limit on what players can achieve in the game given enough time and creativity.

The new generation of Xbox consoles has a pretty strong image: nice, clean rectangles that’ll fit nicely on your TV unit, bookshelf, or wherever else you’re planning to keep it. Alongside the bulkier Xbox Series X, the smaller Series S looks quite compact, offset against the bigger unit with a smart monochrome finish. But the Xbox Series S wasn’t always going to look this way. In a Medium interview with some of the design staff behind the hardware, Microsoft staffers give some insight into how the final shape formed – and showed off some prototype designs (below)....

Tiny Tina’s graced us back in March 2022, boasting even more weapons that can drop, and of course, even more of Borderlands’ slapstick style and bawdy dialogue. It was a good game that, personally, fell short in a few areas. That said, there’s still hours and hours of fun to be had. For one player, their hours of fun haven’t been in vain, either, after they found an item that has a one in 85 billion chance of dropping....

Townscaper has long been something of a social media darling; if you mooch about games Twitter like me, you’ll have seen it crop up often as other indie devs share little snippets of the towns and villages they’ve made. Buildings appear with a very satisfying ‘pop’ and the whole thing is more like a toybox experience than a traditional game. I urge you to give it a go if you’ve got the time, it’s honestly a delight....

UFC 4, where EA recently ran in-game ads before quickly removing them, is in the spotlight again. Players have discovered a quirk that sometimes leads to their character becoming a giant. Reddit user Jblades1, playing as Tyson Fury, went into a grapple as a normal-sized person, and came out of it super-sized. As bizarre as it sounds, player comments suggest that it’s not actually all that uncommon. To see this content please enable targeting cookies....
