• After A Week With WoW: Forever, Classic WoW Feels New Again

  13-11-2026 18:50 via GameSpot - All Content
  
  It's been just over a week since the record-breaking launch of World of Warcraft: Forever. In that time a handful of players have raced to level 60, but the overwhelming majority are still weeks away from reaching max level, as they quest through Azeroth and see all the new sights and sounds Blizzard has cooked up.So far, it's been (mostly) an absolute joy. I've spent every spare moment I can find in developer Blizzard's millennial retirement home, and after one week, it's safe to say I'm more t

• Best Buy launches its Black Friday doorbuster sale, but this is the only deal we’d recommend the weekend before GTA 6

  13-11-2026 18:40 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  It's that time of year when all the retailers start early-launching their Black Friday deals. The last 24 hours have seen Nintendo, Walmart, Secretlab, and now Best Buy kicking off their Black Friday offerings, but not all are made equal. In fact, after scouring the shelves at Best Buy, we've only found one Xbox Series X controller that's at a low enough price to recommend, and it's the same price at Amazon. Fret not, gamers, because it just so happens that it's the weekend before the arrival of

• Skyrim lead regrets the RPG’s level cap because players "didn't want" to just start new characters

  13-11-2026 18:35 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  Oftentimes in game development, you can't be sure how something will work until you ship. In the case of Skyrim, one of the leads was certain the level cap wouldn't be a problem, and then players made it clear he had the wrong idea.Bruce Nesmith, lead designer on Skyrim and a former longtime developer at Bethesda, told the Examined Game podcast all about his logic. "When creating the system where all the different skills would go to 100, it implied, mathematically, a level limit of 81," he expla

  Nintendo is celebrating The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary in many different ways, but one detail on the company's official website raised confusion--and curiosity-- about a classic 3DS Zelda game.A "History" page on Nintendo's website lists every mainline Zelda game in release order, including the release date and which platforms you can play for each entry. The site marks every game that's playable for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers--and the 2013 3DS game The Legend of Zelda: A Link Be

  Rebel Wolves has confirmed that The Blood of Dawnwalker is getting New Game+ as part of its 1.2 update next week. Despite a number of nominations and bringing out one of the best vampire games of the modern era, The Blood of Dawnwalker didn't pick up any awards at the Golden Joystick Awards this week. It did come close, with a second place finish in PC Game of the Year and Best Storytelling, and a fifth place finish in Ultimate Game of the Year.

• Lego Donkey Kong Arcade #72051 review: "I'd go as far to call it one of the best Nintendo sets"

  13-11-2026 18:11 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  As the biggest Donkey Kong fan to have ever written for GamesRadar+, I've been waiting with bated breath to see what Lego had up its sleeve for an 18+ set since he was announced for the kid-friendly Lego Super Mario series years ago. Granted, I'm a far bigger fan of the Donkey Kong Country series (and 2025's actual game of the year Donkey Kong Bananza) than the arcade original, but you couldn't start anywhere else, could you? Thankfully, Lego has taken cues from its very first Lego Super Mario 1

• Sony's base PS5 AI upscaling tech is making that $900 PS5 Pro price look worse

  13-11-2026 17:48 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  Sony has announced a new batch of games to be added to its QSSR initiative which brings AI upscaling tech to the base PS5 console.As one of the daft people who purchased a PS5 Pro despite it not exactly being a necessary purchase, I will admit I've enjoyed the benefits. Resident Evil Requiem and Death Stranding 2 looked absolutely gorgeous on the console, with the former being the first game to implement the PSSR 2 upscaling. But I didn't think the PS5 Pro was entirely worth the price of admissi

• GTA 6 And These Other Games Can Justify An $80 Price, Expert Says

  13-11-2026 17:37 via GameSpot - All Content
  
  Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 finally releases on November 19, and you'll have to pay at least $80 for it. That's a full $20 more than what GTA 5 cost in 2013 and $10 more than many other big AAA games today. Is $80 going to become the "new normal" for AAA games, or is it, along with Nintendo's Mario Kart World and Tears of the Kingdom for Switch 2, an outlier at $80?According to Alinea Analytics researcher Rhys Elliott, $80 won't be an across-the-board new price for all games.

• Gerudo Fortress guide and walkthrough for the Ocarina of Time Remake

  13-11-2026 17:25 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  The Gerudo Fortress in Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake is as much of a maze as the original, a forced stealth section in which Link must find four imprisoned carpenters that the Gerudo have taken hostage and free them from their respective jails. To do this, you have to sneak around all the guards, as being spotted instantly fails you and returns you to your cell on the North side of the Fortress. Fortunately, I'll show you how to find all the carpenters and what you need to need about this key loc

• You’ll finally be able to try Secretlab chairs before you buy, as the company partners with Best Buy

  13-11-2026 17:00 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  When you're shopping for gaming chairs, it's notoriously difficult to try before you buy. That's especially true when a lot of the biggest brands around the world operate through strict online-only e-commerce storefronts. Secretlab is seeking to change that, however, and one of the company's CEOs has told me the long-awaited shift to physical retail has been partly due to feedback they've received from people trying the brand's gaming chairs at expos and conventions."One thing we’ve always kno

• Skyrim Is Not A Perfect Game, But 15 Years Later, There’s Still Nothing Like It

  13-11-2026 17:00 via GameSpot - All Content
  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim celebrated its 15-year anniversary on November 11, 2026. Below, we look back at why it has endured for all that time.It is my solemn duty to report that the first time someone booted up Skyrim was–brace yourself–15 years ago. I was 15 myself when I first took that infamously slow trip on the wagon toward my death-by-execution-turned-almost-death-by-dragon. Now in my 30s, Skyrim is still relevant. It sold 65 million copies. It is the most modded game on Nexus Mods,

• Cyberpunk 2077 protagonist V is "meant to feel a little uncomfortable," quest lead says

  While Cyberpunk 2077 protagonist V is yours to shape, CD Projekt Red intentionally takes the wheel for narrative effect and to undermine your choices. If that feels uncomfortable, that's because it's supposed to.Over on the ol' global town square, one fan points out that V states their preference not to smoke fairly in the game. Later on, as V's consciousness begins to merge with rocker-boy Johnny Silverhand, V smokes. It's not because they've got into the habit, but because Silverhand has done
