description: Here's what's coming in May 2026.
encoded: May is here, and with it comes three new games heading to PS Plus. Just like Xbox Game Pass, PS Plus gives you access to a wide library of games to play on your PS5 or PS4 console. It's a good time to invest in PlayStation, with games like Marvel's Wolverine coming up later this year, so be sure to get yours hands on a good PS Plus deal while you wait. With that, let's get into a list of all the games coming to PS Plus in May 2026, as well as the games leaving the service. PS Plus free games for May 2026 confirmed PS Plus Essential members will three free titles on 5 May as part of this month's games: EA Sports FC 26 (PS5/PS4) Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (PS5) Nine Sols (PS5/PS4) Headlining this month's games is EA Sports FC 26, the latest game in what is probably the biggest sports game in the world. With the TOTS promo ongoing, and FIFA World Cup events to look forward to, it's a perfect time to jump in and get involved with some footballing action. On the flip side, we have Wuchang: Fallen Feathers from Chinese studio Leenzee. A soulslike set in the chaotic late Ming Dynasty, players traverse an ancient China laid waste by a disease that transforms its victims into vicious monsters. Equal parts beautiful and challenging, this one is not for the faint of heart. Last, but far from least is one of the most underrated games of the last two years. Nine Sols is a crushingly hard 2D soulslike with combat inspired by the legendary Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Explore a beautiful, hand-drawn metroidvania map as you slash and parry your way through this abandoned eastern fantasy, hunting down the titular nine Sols. View Green Video on the source website What's leaving PS Plus this month? There are eight titles leaving PS Plus on 19 May 2026: Control: Ultimate Edition (PS5) Mortal Shell (PS4) Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition (PS5) The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan (PS4) The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope (PS5/PS4) MotoGP 25 (PS5/PS4) Sand Land (PS5/PS4) Soul Hackers …

description: It's an injustice we haven't had a third game yet.
encoded: If you’re a fighting game fan and have been refreshing the timeline today, then you have seen Injustice 3 rumours flying around today, but why are people talking about it? The last Injustice game, Injustice 2, came out in 2017, and developers NetherRealm Studios have been busy with Mortal Kombat games every since, making the prospect of a third game seem increasingly unlikely, as there had only been a four year gap between the first and second games. Hopes were raised when a MultiVersus dataminer supposedly uncovered evidence that a new Injustice game was in development, but almost a year went by without so much as a peep. That is, until 29 April, when MP1st reported that Injustice 3 is indeed in development with NetherRealm Studios helming the project. MP1st spotted a resume from an artist employed at Warner. Bros Games that included Injustice 3 as part of their listed experience, alongside Hogwarts Legacy 2 and "2 Unannounced Projects". This is what is known in the industry as 'a bit of an oopsie', but it comes as much welcome news for DC fans, who haven’t received many good games in recent years, save for the VR game, Batman: Arkham Shadow. The upcoming LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight looks like it will be terrific too, so it does seem like Warner Bros. Games is starting to course-correct after misfires such as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which Radio Times Gaming editor Rob Leane called "dead on arrival". View Green Video on the source website But, turning our attention to those unannounced projects, we wonder if one, or both of them, will end up being the much-rumoured Lord of the Rings games, one of which was said to be developed by Kingdom Come: Deliverance II developers Warhorse Studios. As for Injustice 3, if more gaffs, leaks, reports or official announcements come to light, we will keep you up to speed, so be sure to subscribe to the Radio Times Gaming newsletter so you don’t miss out!

encoded: There’s always something new in Fortnite, and what with Disney’s stake in Epic Games, we are being treated to a whole host of Star Wars-themed goodies, but there are many other little additions and fixes too, so we’ve got all the changes in the patch notes found in the Fortnite update v40.30 from today. Considering we just had karaoke added to the game, perhaps we’ll be able to do acapella renditions of the Star Wars Cantina Band… If you tire of big crossovers, then perhaps you would be more interested in player-driven experiences, such as Fortnite Be a Lucky Block and Fortnite Steal the Brainrot. But, as for Fortnite update v40.30, read on. Fortnite update today (30 April): What changes in the patch notes? Lots of new content is being added to Fortnite today, but some of it won’t become available until 1 May. Much of it, as we are approaching Star Wars Day (4 May), is Star Wars themed, and one of the big new additions is that Star Wars content is now available via the Star Wars toolkit, which allows developers to create Star Wars games within UEFN. Epic Games and Lucasfilm have created their own modes and islands, three of which are listed below. Galactic Siege (developed with JOGO Studios, island code: 5003-9856-3648) – Fight in large-scale PvP class-based battles with 10v10 combat across iconic Star Wars planets. Escape Vader (made with Beyond Creative, island code: 7285-4185-5428) – Hide, run, and try to survive in this 4-player co-op game where you attempt to escape the terrifying Sith Lord, Darth Vader. Droid Tycoon (created with FOAD, island code: 7865-8305-9184) – Build and customize droids using authentic Star Wars blueprints, manage your workshop and factory systems, and unlock rare components and special missions. Other than that, there are the usual bug fixes, optimisations and nefs, and you can check out the full patch notes below.

encoded: If you’ve been playing Saros, and one of the characters has given you a serious case of earworms, then we’ve got you covered, as we have all the voice actors that comprise the Saros cast and where you know them from. Much like the recently released Pragmata, the Saros cast isn’t quite a West End ensemble, but instead an intimate cohort that bring an impactful story to life. To be entirely honest, we’re surprised that anyone even has the energy to talk after being subjected to the bullet hell nightmares of planet Carcosa, but we’re mightily glad they do, as it offers up a much welcome break after gripping onto your controller for dear life! But as for the Saros cast, read on! Saros cast: All voice actors Here is a list of all the main voice actors in Saros and their characters: Rahul Kohli – Arjun Devraj Jane Perry – Sheridan Bouchard David DeSantos – Sebastian Ben Prendergast – Jerome Jackson Shunori Ramanathan – Nitya Chandran Where do you know the Saros cast from? The Saros cast is quite small, which isn’t too much of a surprise given the size of the colonist team exploring the planet Carcosa. But, as for where you know the actors from, you can see where just below! Rahul Kohli – Arjun Devraj In the world of video games, you may have heard Rahul Kohli as Fahz Chutani in Gears 5, The Origin in Fortnite, or Rupinder "Roops" Kapoor in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023). You may well have seen him in the 2022 film, Next Exit as Teddy, as Sheriff Hassan in Midnight Mass or Ravi Chakrabarti in iZombie. Jane Perry – Sheridan Bouchard Jane Perry is an absolutely stalwart in video games, having appeared in innumerable projects over the years. Perry played protagonist Selene Vassos in Housemarque's previous game, Returnal, but has portrayed hugely iconic characters such as Diana Burnwood in the Hitman series, Rogue Amendiares in Cyberpunk 2077 and Alyssa Ashcroft in Resident Evil Requiem.

description: You can copy my homework, just make sure it's literally the same.
encoded: It was no surprise that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 received so many nominations ahead of the BAFTA Games Awards 2026 before going on to win three awards: best game, debut game, and performer in a leading role, going to Jennifer English. While gamers and the press may not have been shocked after getting to play E33, the game's success still came as something of a surprise to Clair Obscur writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen and Lune actor Kirsty Rider. Not only that, to avoid any crushing post-launch disappointment, actor Ben Starr even told Monoco actor Rick Keeble not to bet on it being a success. Fortunately, this did not transpire, but Starr still wouldn’t reprise Verso in the Clair Obscur film despite the critical acclaim. View oEmbed on the source website Much of what makes Clair Obscur so interesting is its storied development, and how different actors performed different parts of each character that comprised the cast, with Gustave having motion capture performed by Maxence Cazorla and the English voice coming from one Charlie Cox. With a performance already in the bag, the Radio Times Gaming team were curious how Cox went about portraying Gustave, and as it turns out he wasn’t so sure at first. “I didn't even know what I was getting myself into when I showed up for the voiceover element of the job,” Cox told us on the BAFTA Games Awards red carpet. “I was watching his performance on screen, and I said early on to the creators, ‘What are you hoping that I'm going to kind of reinvent this with my own interpretation? Or are you hoping that I'm going to kind of match what he's already done vocally?’” Cox continued To Cox’s surprise, they said, “Look, we love what Maxence has done. So if you're comfortable, you know, kind of almost copying him…”, which Cox concedes made his life “very, very easy". Everyone’s performance in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was brilliant, but Cox found Cazorla’s performance not only incredible but indispensable, giving him “huge, huge credit t…

encoded: Fancy watching a television adaptation of a post-apocalyptic video game? No, we’re not talking about Fallout or The Last of Us, but the Atomfall TV series, which has just been announced to be in production by Two Brothers Pictures and Rebellion. Atomfall, which recently won best British game at the BAFTA Games Awards, is set during 1957, within a Quarantine Zone in the Lake District after the events of the real Windscale nuclear disaster, but with an alternate reality twist, that sees the Zone replete with strange anomalies, wandering cultists, robots and other factions who all vie for control and survival. The story, much like the game, follows a protagonist who wakes up in the Quarantine Zone with no memory of how they got there. As they desperately try to find their way out of the Quarantine Zone, they get mixed up with all sorts of bizarre, yet distinctly British characters, drawing upon classic sci-fi, folk horror, ancient mythology and 1950s nuclear paranoia. View Green Video on the source website For anyone who has read any John Wyndham novels, or has watched the likes of The Wickerman, The Quatermass Experiment or classic Doctor Who, you will feel right at home in the off-kilter world of Atomfall. We at the Radio Times Gaming were rather impressed with Atomfall and its unique investigative gameplay, as noted in our review, and found the game to feel a bit like Postman Pat meets Stalker and Fallout during a preview event. Speaking of the adaptation, writers and Executive Producers, Henry and Jack Williams of Two Brothers Pictures said "Atomfall has such a distinctive British tone and setting, and it’s been a real joy developing it alongside the Rebellion team – especially as two brothers working alongside two brothers", noting that the co-founders of Rebellion, Jason Kinglsey and Chris Kinglsey, are also brothers. Jason and Chris are also over the moon at the opportunity to bring their new IP to screen, saying, "We are delighted to be partnering with Two Brot…

encoded: What with the excitement surrounding the Steam Controller, which just had its release date confirmed, people have been naturally curious about the Steam Deck 2, and we've got all the release date speculation, latest news and rumours that you can shake a trackpad at. There's plenty going on right now with Valve Hardware, with the Steam Machine and Steam Frame to look forward to; however, due to the RAM crisis, these have been delayed. Though a Steam Machine announcement is "getting closer", they say. Hopefully, by the time the Steam Deck 2 release date eventually rolls around, the 'RAMageddon' will be a thing of the past! But for now, it is limiting Steam Deck availability. Given just how good the Steam Deck is - especially the Steam Deck OLED - we can't wait to see what Valve will do with a successor, but wait is indeed what we will have to do, as we will get to later. But for all things Steam Deck 2, read on! Will there be a Steam Deck 2? Yes, there will be a Steam Deck 2. Whether or not it’s called Steam Deck 2, or it takes on some other moniker, is unknown, but Valve is committed to bringing a successor to its venerable handheld system to market, but not for some time yet. During the Steam hardware reveal that included the Steam Machine, VR headset Steam Frame and the Steam Controller, IGN posed the question to Valve Software engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais, who had much to say about the company’s grand vision for the Steam Deck 2, saying that they want it to be a “worthwhile enough performance upgrade to make sense as a standalone product”. But by what kind of metric? Griffais told IGN that they are “not interested in getting to a point where it's 20 or 30 or even 50% more performance at the same battery life”, but rather are looking for “a little bit more demarcated”. With a goal in mind for what to aim for, Valve is now playing the waiting game, as according to Graffais, there are “no offerings in that landscape, in the SoC [System on a Chip] landscape, that we …

encoded: With each passing day, we're getting closer to the Grand Theft Auto 6 release date, which also just happens to mean that we're closer to when the GTA 6 trailer 3 will drop, and we've got all the rumours explained to see when it could happen. Amusingly, we have a better grip on the GTA 6 release date than we do on trailer 3, despite Grand Theft Auto 6 getting delayed twice, something Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick reckons was "worth it". But such is the excitement surrounding GTA 6 that trailer 1 and trailer 2 racked up over 430 million views on YouTube, with trailer 2 hitting over 10 million in under two hours. Despite both trailers only coming to a combined 257 seconds, they certainly kept us busy, as we examined every pixel for new details, such as old (yet new) faces returning, brand new characters and every last blade of grass and crack in the pavement in the GTA 6 map. But, as for when we might see GTA 6 trailer 3 drop, read on! GTA 6 trailer 3 rumours explained: When could it happen? There are a couple of decently plausible rumours floating around that indicate when GTA trailer 3 could drop. The first is from Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, who maintains that the third trailer won't arrive until the tail end of summer. During Insider Gaming Weekly, Henderson said, "I’m still sticking to my guns from what we said a few weeks ago, which is that I don’t think they’re going to release the trailer, the next trailer, until actual summer". This would make sense, as GTA 6 won't come out until November, so there is little point in stoking the already runaway hype train by making more trailers than they have to. However, if Rockstar were to release another trailer before then, we could see the developers do so around the time of the next Take-Two earnings call, which the company has been known to do in the past, with GTA 6 trailer 2 coming 10 days before the May 2025 earnings call. As spotted on the GTA 6 subreddit, Take-Two recently announced that its next earnings call…

Housemarques previous game, Returnal, released in April 2021, and was a great early title for the nascent system, winning four BAFTAs, including best game and best performer for Jane Perry. In today's age of extremely long development cycles, it’s great to see Housemarque return with another game this generation, something that can’t be taken for granted these days. The game has reviewed well, and is a bit more approachable for players new to the bullet hell genre as opposed to Returnal, which relished in its brutality. But, for all things Saros, read on! When is the Saros release date? The Saros release date is Thursday 30 April, or 28 April for those who pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition. If a couple of early days with Saros sounds like your bag, then you can scroll on down to our pre-order section to see where you can get the game from. If you ordered a physical version, then it will arrive sometime on 30 April, depending on when your postie or courier usually arrives where you live. When is the Saros launch time? Saros launches midnight 12am in your local timezone. This means that folk living in places such as New Zealand will be able to go hands-on with the game ahead of most others, so if you are desperate to play Saros first, then you will need to book your flights. This quirk of living on a spherical planet means that if you live in American Samoa, which is UTC-12:00, you will only be able to play Saros a whopping 24 hours after a New Zealander, who lives in the far-flung future of UTC+12:00. The more you know! Can I pre-order Saros? Yes, Saros is available for pre-order There are three different versions available for purchase: the physical Standard Edition, the digital Standard Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition. There is a pre-order bonus, the Hands of Shore Ar…

encoded: When looking back at the Resident Evil films of the past, it can be hard to be enthused for future instalments, but going by trailer reactions at CinemaCon and the talent behind it, we might actually be looking forward to the Resident Evil movie now, which has just had its release date confirmed. We’re not the only ones, as Leon Kennedy actor Nick Apostolides is “cautiously optimistic” for the upcoming zombie-romp from Weapons director Zach Cregger. To mark the release date confirmation, there is now a Resident Evil movie website, but there is not much to go on, other than a logo, the release date and that Resident Evil will be showing in IMAX. View Green Video on the source website Certainly, there is a lot of hype surrounding the franchise at the moment, as Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 7 million copies since it launched, with director Koshi Nakanishi posting an image to his story with Requiem-themed cakes. View oEmbed on the source website Developers Capcom aren’t done with Requiem, either, as we have an upcoming DLC to look forward to, which will feature extra story content. An update in March also added a photo mode, and another upcoming update is to add a new combat-focused mini-game, but it’s not entirely clear if this is going to be a Mercenaries mode, which has been included in Resident Evil games for decades at this point. But as for when we can see Cregger’s vision come to life? The Resident Evil movie will release in cinemas on 18 September 2026. No one is quite sure what the plot of the film is – there are certainly lots of Resident Evil games to drawn upon for inspiration – but what’s for sure is that seeing T-Virus monsters in IMAX will probably be quite the unsettling experience. But, September is still some months away, so be sure to check out all the upcoming video game releases in 2026 and beyond to find something to pass the time with!

007 First Light star "is sure" that Bond game actor is "under consideration" for the movie role

description: The name's Bond, video game Bond.
encoded: There has been much debate over the last few years over just who should pick up the James Bond mantle after Daniel Craig, but one 007 First Light actor reckons the man is staring Amazon and MGM in the face. Lennie James plays John Greenway, Bond’s mentor in 007 First Light, so it’s safe to say the man knows the ins and outs of what makes a good MI6 agent. During the BAFTA Games Awards 2026, actor Lennie James presented Jennifer English with the best performer award for her portrayal of Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Before this, however, the Radio Times Gaming team managed to catch up with James on the red carpet, where we talked about all things 007, and he reckons young Bond actor, Patrick Gibson should be in the running, saying "the people in control would be mad" if he isn’t already. View oEmbed on the source website That’s quite the statement, but James is absolutely certain, saying Gibson is "fantastic in our version of Bond, and I genuinely think he should be a candidate for the main role that they're trying to find someone for". Perhaps with Lenny Kravitz featuring as the 007 First Light villain, we'll get to see him pop up in a future Bond movie, too. If Gibson doesn’t get picked for the films, it seems like he’ll still be able to play Bond for a good while yet, as 007 First Light developers IO Interactive have teased future sequels that would feature him. In an interview, 007 First Light senior producer Theuns Smit said development was "like a hand fitting into a glove" after making Hitman, so the will is definitely there. With Lana Del Rey having put out a Bond anthem, who Bond composer David Arnold said was a perfect fit, it would seem strange for the buck to stop with the first game. Hopefully, it is a critical and commercial success, so that Gibson can Bond it up ad infinitum. Sadly, Nintendo-stans won’t be able to experience Gibson as young Bond for themselves until the summer, as 007 First Light has been delayed for the Switch 2 And if IO Int…

encoded: We get it; you want to play games, but ol’ Steam isn’t responding. Fortunately, it should be back up soon, but whilst you’re waiting, we’ve got Steam Maintenance explained, including when it is and why Valve does it. Judging by all the hardware announcements Valve has made, including unveiling the Steam Controller release date, you might be surprised that anyone at the company even has time to work on Steam, but given that the platform recently hit 41 million users online, you best believe that levers are being pulled. Perhaps the eventual arrival of the Steam Machine and Steam Frame will help bump those numbers up. Certainly, Valve made PC gaming more accessible and easier to pick up and play with the Steam Deck. Perhaps the Steam Deck 2 will push that number up even higher. But as for all things Steam Maintenance, read on! When is Steam Maintenance? Steam Maintenance typically takes place on Tuesday between 9pm GMT to 11pm GMT. Steam maintenance itself only lasts for around ten minutes, though sometimes it can be upwards of an hour. During this time, Steam functionality can go down, such as the Steam Community, online services and multiplayer. As for why Valve opts to do Steam Maintenance during inconvenient hours for Europeans, on the Steam Support page, Valve says "Our peak user load is around 12:00 PT (Pacific Time), and our lowest user count is around 23:00 PT", which is between 8pm GMT and 7am GMT. What is Steam Maintenance? Steam Maintenance is Steam getting maintained (mic drop). If you play games such as Fortnite, you’ll know that they typically go offline for a short while in order to implement patches, fixes and new content, and Steam is no different! Unlike Fortnite, however, there are usually no flashy new features added to Steam. Speaking to this, Valve said "Sometimes, we take the servers down in order to perform maintenance. We might be patching software for security issues, updating operating systems or drivers, or installing new hardware, for exam…

description: The release date is out of our control(ler).
encoded: After early reviews revealed the price and release date, suggesting that a Steam Controller launch was imminent, we now have official confirmation on the Steam Controller release date and price. In the run-up to the Steam Controller release date, much was said of its capabilities, with one developer praising its 'Mac-like' trackpads, and soon, we will all be able to try it for ourselves. The Steam Controller will be immediately familiar to anyone who has used a Steam Deck, which features two trackpads and allows for more mouse-like input, as opposed to just trying to use the analogue sticks. If you love gaming on the Steam Deck and wish you could have those controls on any PC, then the Steam Controller is for you. Initially, the Steam Controller was supposed to launch alongside the Steam Machine, but delays owing to 'RAMageddon' have caused Valve to release the Steam Controller ahead of the PC-console hybrid, though we are apparently getting closer to a Steam Machine announcement. Hopefully, we can expect the same with the Steam Frame too. But, as for the Steam Controller release date, pirce, specs and more, read on! When is the Steam Controller release date? The Steam Controller release date is Monday 4 May, 6pm GMT. View oEmbed on the source website The release date was accidentally revealed by a review going up early, but we now know the official timing, courtesy of Valve. Being at 6pm, hopefully you will be home from work or school so you can get your order in, but you can always use the Steam app on your phone on the sly! Can I pre-order the Steam Controller? No, you cannot pre-order the Steam Controller as it becomes available for purchase Monday 6pm, 4 May 2026. You can, however, wishlist the Steam Controller on Steam so that you are notified the moment it becomes available to do so, or to buy it if Valve skips pre-orders entirely. As we have said for both the Steam Machine and Steam Frame, it is not known whether or not Valve will use a reservation system as…

description: Playing Alien in isolation is not recommended; too scary.
encoded: When Alien: Isolation 2 was first announced back in 2024, there was a post on X (formerly Twitter) to mark the occasion as part of Alien Day celebrations, but now, we have a short teaser trailer that offers us the very first glimpse of the highly anticipated upcoming sequel. The original game came out in 2014, and stunned (and terrified) us all with its incredible visuals and dastardly smart Xenomorph AI that would sniff you out, or even listen to your whimpers via microphones on the console versions. Since then, Alien: Isolation has been released on just about every conceivable platform, meaning many have gotten to enjoy it in the years since, with many of us clamouring for a new game. As for the Alien: Isolation 2 trailer, developers Creative Assembly (the same folks who make the Total War games) posted a video to YouTube titled "False Sense of Security", which sums up that very moment you thought the Xenomorph wasn’t around in the first game. View oEmbed on the source website Though the trailer appears quite opaque at first, we can deduce quite a bit from the short snippet of presumably in-engine footage. The trailer opens zooming in on a set of blast doors in what appears to be a Weyland-Yutani-style outpost, like that of Hadley’s Hope in James Cameron’s Aliens. The facility is in a state of disrepair, with water leaking from the ceiling. A flashing orange light on the door turns to green, and the blast doors open to reveal the outside. This is where a few things become apparent. There is shrubbery in the foreground, and trees in the distance that are getting blown in the wind, not to mention the pouring rain. Last year saw the release of the Disney+ series, Alien: Earth, which, as the name implies, is set on dear ol’ Terra. Now, trees and plants don’t necessarily indicate that Alien: Isolation 2 could take place on Earth, it could simply take place on a terraformed planet, but it's not entirely out of the question. Finally, the trailer concludes with a close-up…

Steam Machine announcement 'is getting closer' according to reports

description: Just one more delay, bro. I promise, bro. Just one more delay and we'll have all the Steam Machines, bro.
encoded: It might not be Half-Life 3, but nonetheless, Valve-land is awash with rumours, leaks and early reviews, which have sent the internet at large into a tizzy over a potential Steam Machine announcement, which may be closer than we expect if reports are to be believed. Certainly, it appears the Steam Controller launch may be imminent, as, in something of an oopsie, early reviews revealed the potential price and release date. But, if the Steam Controller is coming, what is happening with the Steam Machine? Alongside the Steam Controller, the Steam machine and Steam Frame received store pages on the Komodo Station website, which is the official retailer of Valve products in Asia. As noted by VR enthusiast Brad Lynch on X (formerly Twitter), only the Steam Controller received new web assets. View oEmbed on the source website Valve has already delayed the Steam Machine and Steam Frame owing to the memory pricing crisis dubbed ‘RAMageddon’, as revealed in the Steam hardware FAQ, but according to Mike Straw of Insider Gaming, Valve may opt to eat some of the costs in order to get the PC-console hybrid out the door. In a news piece about the Steam Controller reviews going live early, Mike Straw said, "I’m to understand that Valve is getting closer to confirming everything. They’ve been going back and forth internally on pricing and whether they would be willing to take a loss on the cost, at least in the short term," adding that "It’s unclear what decision has been made, but the internal belief is that an announcement on a release is getting closer." In the run-up to the launch of the Steam Deck, Valve CEO Gabe Newell described getting the base model to £349/$359 as "painful", but it was never clear if it was at a loss, cost, or had the teeniest of margins. There is a real risk of selling the Steam Machine at a loss, however, as scalpers could buy them to strip them of components, or businesses could buy them and deploy them as relatively cheap enterprise computers.

description: Valve must have Steam coming out of its ears over this...
encoded: There was a flurry of activity regarding Valve’s upcoming Steam-Deck-with-the-screen-chopped-out input device over the weekend, stoking the hype train firebox and leading many to believe that the Steam Controller could launch imminently. The proposed launch appears to be ahead of the Steam Machine and Steam Frame, which Valve announced alongside the Steam Controller, but have since been delayed owing to those devices being price-sensitive to ‘RAMageddon’, which has sent memory module prices skyrocketing. The Steam Controller was always going to be available separately, but it is interesting to see Valve potentially opt to release it before the Steam Machine. As for buying one, you may need to fork out, as according to an early review from TechyTalk that has since been deleted, the Steam Controller will reportedly cost $99. View oEmbed on the source website People move fast on the internet, and it was all over the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit before the video was taken down. As the review notes, that would be only $25 more than a DualSense controller, and it’s well short of the “Pro” controllers on offer from Microsoft and Sony, such as the Elite 2 and DualSense Edge, while offering more versatility owing to the trackpads that have been described as ‘Mac-like’. What’s more, another review popped up before being deleted, this time from Japanese website 4Gamer, which suggested a Steam Controller release date of 4 May. This follows a new store page going live for the Steam Controller on Komodo Station, the official retailer of Valve hardware in Asia. View oEmbed on the source website Before Valve announced its new hardware, people managed to find out what the folks at Bellevue were up to, as it could be found on Komodo Station, so we may see even more details pop up in the coming days. It should be noted that, whilst this information comes from seemingly legit sources, Valve ultimately could change its plans whenever it wants to, and so neither the price nor date is …

Leon Kennedy actor is "cautiously optimistic" for Resident Evil movie

description: Apostolides thinks the film might be in good nick.
encoded: With Resident Evil Requiem being a smash hit for Capcom, reaching new heights for the series, it further highlights just how naff a lot of the Resident Evil films were, and how IP might ultimately be best suited to the medium of video games, as Ben Starr believes Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is. However, there is another Resident Evil film in the works from Weapons director Zach Cregger, with Austin Abrams acting as the lead. Arguably, Resident Evil’s most famous protagonist is none other than Leon S Kennedy, and so during the BAFTA Games Awards 2026, Radio Times caught up with the man behind the new voice of Leon, Nick Apostolides, to gauge his thoughts on the upcoming movie. "I am very cautiously optimistic." Apostolides told us, adding that "I've been let down in the past". Apostolides can dare to dream owing to Cregger being attached to the project, saying that "If there's one director who is not going to let me down, I think it's going to be this guy." Apostolides has been a fan of Cregger’s work for some time, saying ,"I love Cregger’s work, and I trust that he's going to make a good film first and foremost, and it will have Resident Evil elements in it. So I'm very, very curious, actually." Actor Ashleigh Morghan was also in attendance, and concedes that she actually "liked the Resident Evil movies", noting that she thought "the first was pretty good," though views it more as "a DLC to the game" as it is not "a direct copy of the game, but I thought they were fun." Recently at CinemaCon, Cregger showed the first trailer for the Resident Evil movie, and Morghan said that the reception was positive, saying that "there's a lot of tension, and it's a good horror movie, and that Raccoon City might just be like the only character in it." And much like Apostolides, Morghan reckons "Zach Cregger knows what he’s doing, and he's not going to ruin a 30-year franchise because he knows how much it means to people." But however Morghan might feel about the prospects of the …

Microsoft scraps ‘Microsoft Gaming’ branding for Xbox instead

description: Fingers crossed for the Xbox 720...
encoded: After announcing that Microsoft would be slashing Game Pass prices, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has announced during a town hall all-hands meeting that the company is shedding the ‘Microsoft Gaming’ moniker, and is instead bringing back Xbox, putting the brand’s identity front and centre in a way that it has not in recent years. As reported by The Verge, Microsoft Gaming came to be in 2022 when the division revealed it wanted to acquire Activision Blizzard King. At this time, Microsoft Gaming, as it was known, was under the stewardship of Phil Spencer, who recently resigned, with Sharma taking his place. Speaking of the change, Sharma said that “Xbox needs to be our identity”. Sharma promised a “return of Xbox”, and this call to action has started to appear all over the Microsoft Campus. View oEmbed on the source website Not only that, but there appears to be a new Xbox logo, which harkens back to the original Xbox and Xbox 360 logos, making it something of a statement of intent. Recently, Radio Times Gaming were flown to Los Angeles to attend the launch party of a new Fanta flavour, Crimson Sour Cherry, released in collaboration with Xbox, which further signals confidence in the brand going forward. When Sharma was appointed, she was initially met with scepticism, as she comes from an AI background, and online commenters were quick to try and point out a perceived lack of ‘gamer credentials’, and what they thought to be ‘suspicious’ account behaviour, in that it seemed it wasn’t just Sharma using her account. To alleviate any fears, Sharma said that it was her family playing games and went on the record to say that "we will not flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop". This is all in the midst of beleaguered hardware sales, and Call of Duty not performing as well as it once did, making the multi-billion-dollar investment seem short-sighted in retrospect, even if we are getting a CoD movie. So far, there have only been positive signals coming from Xbox, including more de…

A remake of the fourth mainline series entry, the original Assassin's Creed Black Flag is regarded as one of the best AC games. When it comes out, it will be a bit odd playing the Assassin's Creed games in order when you jump ahead to such brilliant graphics and back again, but if there was ever a title to revisit, it was probably Black Flag. We'll get into much more detail below, but the world is now seamless, making sailing around and landing at docks much smoother than before, which would be worth it on its own, but there are new story arcs to explore as well, taking it beyond a simple remake. But for all things Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, read on! When is the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced release date? Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will release 9 July 2026. No doubt, Ubisoft will have wanted to get the game out of the door ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6, which comes out in November, as it feels as if the whole world is going to be drawn in to play it. There's still some time yet before Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced comes out, though, so be sure to check out all the upcoming games in 2026 and beyond to see what you can play in the interim! Can I pre-order Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced? Yes, you can pre-order Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. There are multiple editions to buy: the Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition and Collector's Edition, and we'll go over each and where to buy them, including the pre-order bonus if you choose to claim your copy ahead of launch.

We're also approaching the 30th anniversary of Tomb Raider, and if you want to know about all things Tomb Raider, there's a whole book!

It varies between platforms, too, but we've got how to use Tomb Raider Remastered cheat codes down below, so read on! How to use Tomb Raider Remastered cheat codes To enter any cheat codes in Tomb Raider Remastered, you need to switch from the modern controls to the classic controls under the settings menu.

description: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - The Movie, not starring Ben Starr.
encoded: At the BAFTAs Games Awards 2026, Radio Times Gaming had the opportunity to catch up with Ben Starr on the red carpet, who was nominated for performer in a leading role as Verso, about his outfit, pre-launch thoughts on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s success and whether or not he would be up for reprising his role in a live-action film. Whilst the best performer award ultimately went to cast mate Jennifer English as Maelle, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won best game, and Hades 2, in which Starr, err, stars, was up for two nominations as well. We also had the chance to speak with Charlie Cox, who played Gustave, and he reckons that Robert Pattinson would be the best choice to physically portray him, but that they should still use his voice. View oEmbed on the source website But as for whether or not Starr would like to play Verso, we posed the question, and he told us "No, I don't", adding that "I don't think there needs to be a film." It seems like a big opportunity to pass up, given how successful Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been, which writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen and Lune actor Kirsty Rider didn’t expect, nor did Starr himself, who cautioned Monoco actor Rich Keeble about putting too much faith in the game before launch. If nothing else, it would be a good fit for an adaptation just for the simple fact that it’s a brilliant story brought to life by a great cast. Starr is quite content with his contribution, though, telling us "I got to play him in the game. I got to define the character in a way that I'm really, really happy with", and reckons that it's best that the film's director "let someone else take it over". However, everyone loves a fan cast, and we were curious who Starr would pick if he were put in charge of casting an Expedition 33 film, but he was steadfast in his resolve, telling us, "I don't know. I'll let people decide. I won't give you a definitive answer." Starr isn’t entirely opposed to the idea of a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 film, saying tha…

encoded: We think the pipes might be singing, as 4A games has revealed the fourth instalment of its long running post-apocolypse train hovel simulator, and as such, we’ve got everything you need to know about the Metro 2039 release date, gameplay details, pre-orders and what to expect! Much like Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl from developers GSC Game World, the development of Metro 2039 has been impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with the real-world events shaping the story of the new title. As such, it’s an incredible feat alone that Metro 2039 exists at all. Fortunately, 4A also has offices in Malta as well as Kiev, allowing development to continue whilst those in Ukraine were affected by the war. But for all things Metro 2039, read on! When is the Metro 2039 release date? The Metro 2039 release date is Winter 2026 according to developers 4A Games. This was announced alongside the reveal of the game, but the date raised a few eyebrows, as it’s coming hot off the heels of the most anticipated game of all time, Grand Theft Auto 6, which comes out in November. We wouldn’t be surprised to see Metro 2039 be pushed back if the world is entirely consumed by GTA 6, even just by a month or so to give the game a bit more breathing room. On the other hand, Metro 2039 will be coming to PC, whereas GTA 6 won’t, not for a little while at least, but such is the draw of GTA 6 that many PC players might opt to play it on consoles first. Can I pre-order Metro 2039? No, Metro 2029 is not currently available for pre-order. You can wishlist the game on Steam, the Microsoft Store and the PlayStation Store, so that you can be notified the moment it is available. There is no word yet on any sort of deluxe or collector’s editions. Prior entries in the series have had very involved and cool collector’s editions, so you’ll definitely want to keep your eyes peeled for these. Once more information comes out, we will update you as soon as possible! View Green Video on the source website Which …

encoded: As spotted by Brad Lynch on X, Valve pushed an update to Steam that included an unboxing video of the Steam Controller. The Catch? Said video is encrypted and cannot be watched, but the filename gives it away. The unboxing will no doubt show the contents of the box, which also include a puck-like dongle to connect and charge the Steam Controller. It may also go into details of how to set the controller up, and show off its versatility when it comes to games that traditionally require mouse input. The ongoing memory pricing crisis dubbed ‘RAMageddon’ has delayed the launch of the Steam Machine and Steam Frame, which are the main show of the Steam Hardware announced in November 2025; however, the Steam Controller is not as sensitive to these market constraints and as such, many have wondered if Valve might release the Steam Controller early. View oEmbed on the source website This supposed unboxing video, alongside recent shipping details, reveal that Valve received a large quantity of wireless controllers, pointing to such a thing being very plausible at this point. View oEmbed on the source website Valve, contending with delays and massive price hikes, could do with a PR win, and an upside of releasing the Steam Controller ahead of the Steam Machine might convince more players to invest in the SteamOS ecosphere. Certainly, many are already impressed with the Steam Controller, with one developer praising its ‘Mac-like’ trackpads, similar to those found on the Steam Deck. The Steam Controller isn’t the only coveted Valve gem out in the wild, either, as a Godot XR developer has also been using one for months now to get the Godot game engine ready for its eventual launch. For those who have been using the Steam Deck, you will feel right at home with the Steam Controller, which is essentially a Steam Deck without the screen in the middle. Fortunately, we likely won’t have long to wait, as Valve hopes to bring all of the Steam Hardware in the first half of this year, but p…

encoded: It must be 2007 again, as there’s no other way to explain why Master Chief is popping up on drinks cans, except perhaps for the fact that there is a big whopping Fanta and Xbox collaboration, and we’ve got all the rewards and how to get them explained! Revealed at the tail end of March as part of Xbox’s 25th anniversary, the collaboration seems something of a statement of intent for Xbox as we approach the next generation Project Helix. Many have speculated how much longer Xbox might be for this world, with trailing hardware sales and a controversial Game Pass price hike, but the Coca Cola Company investing in Xbox, alongside new CEO Asha Sharma wanting to make Game Pass less expensive, point to a much brighter future. But you’re not here for business management and marketing, you’re here for rewards and delicious drinks, so let’s get to it! Fanta Xbox collab explained: All rewards and how to get them As laid out by the corresponding Xbox Wire post, from April, you can scan QR codes on Xbox-themed Fanta drinks in order to unlock in-game rewards and complete challenges that can net you further goodies. The three challenges are: Extract the Cargo Survive the Sweep Shatter the Spell To enter the challenges, you can do so on the official Wanta Fanta page.

description: Have more fun with these GTA 5 cheat codes on Xbox, PC, PS4 and PS5.
encoded: We still have a few months until GTA 6 releases, so to make the most of that time, why not bust out some GTA 5 cheat codes? Of course, you could always chuck a few mods in there if you really want to go all out, but that won't help you out unless you're on PC. When it comes to cheats, you can't get much better than the likes of the GTA series and The Sims, and that's evidenced by our other cheats pages for GTA 4, GTA 3 and San Andreas. We even have some cheats for RDR1 and RDR2 if you'd prefer a wild west vibe. But for all the Grand Theft Auto 5 cheat codes you could wish for, here's the full list for PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Best GTA 5 cheat codes Our favourite GTA 5 cheat code is 1-999-BUZZOFF, which spawns a Buzzard attack chopper. Armed with miniguns and rocket pads, it's one of the best ways to cause chaos and have some mindless fun in the world. However, the best GTA 5 cheats to keep on hand are those focused on your health, weapons, and wanted levels. Regardless of the platform, bring up the phone number and enter the listed number of your cheat of choice. These are the cheat codes you'll want to know about: 1-999-887-853 [1-999-TURTLE] – Max Health and Armour 1-999-866-587 [1-999-TOOLUP] – Weapons and Ammo cheat 1-999-3844-8483 [1-999-FUGITIVE] – Raise Wanted Level 1-999-5299-3787 [1-999-LAWYERUP] – Lower Wanted Level 1-999-759-3483 [1-999-SKYDIVE] – Parachute cheat These cheats guarantee players don't run out of health, ammo, armour or weapons, and can keep those pesky cops away when they take offence to you eliminating half the population of Los Santos – or will even let players goad them into a high-stakes chase, just to demonstrate their immense power. A GTA money cheat would definitely make it into this list, but you'll need to find other ways to make money in GTA 5 as Rockstar hasn't added any money cheats. Stuck in a tight spot? These are also some handy ones to keep close: 1-999-727-4348 [1-999-RAPIDGT] - Spawn a sports car 1-999-762-538 [1-999-ROCK…

encoded: With Grand Theft Auto 6 set to (hopefully) launch later this year and take us back to Vice City, we thought it prudent to go all the way back to 1997 to see where it all began, and make our way through the GTA games in order, by release and story timeline. Just about every title in the long-running series has shaken up the games industry, changing it forever, and GTA was one of the earliest series to break containment and enter the public consciousness, making headlines across the world, good and bad. From its humble 2.5D beginnings to the cutting edge of rendering tech, GTA has long been at the forefront of many gamers' minds, setting sales records that are yet to be broken, even by other Rockstar titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2. The GTA timeline isn't quite so clear-cut, however, as there are distinct eras that the games are set in, and the appearance of a character from Vice City in GTA 6, but being a similar age, points to a strange timeline, of sorts. But, you can see the GTA timeline for yourself just below! GTA games in release date order Grand Theft Auto (1997 | PC, PS1, Game Boy Color) Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 (1999 | PC, PS1) Grand Theft Auto: London 1961 (1999 | PC, PS1) Grand Theft Auto 2 (1999 | PC, PS1, Dreamcast, Game Boy Color) Grand Theft Auto 3 (2001 | PC, PS2, Xbox, Mac OS, Android, iOS, Fire OS) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002 | PC, PS2, Xbox, Mac OS, Android, iOS, Fire OS) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004 | PC, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Mac OS, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Oculus Quest 2) Grand Theft Auto Advance (2004 | Game Boy Advance) Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (2005 | PSP, PS2, PS3 (unavailable), Android, iOS, Fire OS) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (2006 | PSP, PS2 PS3 (unavailable)) Grand Theft Auto IV (2008 | PC, PS3, Xbox 360) Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned (2009 | PC, PS3, Xbox 360) Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (2009 | Nintendo DS, PSP, Android, iOS, Fire OS) Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad…
