  The Blood of Dawnwalker's 30-day time limit is not as punishing as it sounds, making it the perfect weekend play for a more languid RPG experience or something to dip into all week.Even after learning of its high-stakes time limit, The Blood of Dawnwalker has been one of my most-wanted RPGs of 2026. Developer Rebel Wolves has more than delivered upon its promise to "push the genre forward" by making time itself a currency, and instead of letting myself get side-tracked at every turn, I've found

• How To Fix The Wardogs WD-L014 Error Code

  11-09-2026 17:10 via gamespot.com
  
  Wardogs, perhaps as a consequence of its immense popularity, has had quite the rocky launch into early access on Steam. On September 10, players were in hours-long queues attempting to get online, and the issues have only persisted since then. Now, while many are able to access the game and play, some are plagued by an error code that begins with WD-L014. This prevents the game from getting past the launcher at all.There are a few ways to fix this, and although they're not guaranteed to work, we

• Politicians dig up Grand Theft Auto's "hot coffee" incident and grill Rockstar for violence, but clear $3m in GTA 6 Miami Beach marketing anyway: "It's a video game, it's fake"

  11-09-2026 17:06 via gamesradar.com
  
  It seems only right that GTA 6 would go heavy on advertising in Miami, Florida, since the game's location, Leonida, is based on the city. Plans for some discreet advertising there passed the city council but just barely, amid concerns over the violence therein.On September 10, the City of Miami Beach voted 4-3 to allow for Rockstar's proposed campaign to roll out across the area. The exact extent of what's planned is unknown, but the ensuing debate revealed a few details.There'll be umbrellas an

But the latest system update just provided a notable quality-of-life improvement for people--especially families--who own multiple Switch 2 and Switch consoles. Nintendo now allows for you to play a virtual game card on one of your devices without both having to be online.

• After Death Stranding missed expectations, Sony reportedly axed Physint because Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear successor is over budget, years away, missing deadlines, and not a true exclusive

• $2 billion later, I'm not convinced GTA 6 will do more for me than a PS2 and San Andreas

  11-09-2026 16:48 via gamesradar.com
  
  It'd be silly of me to deny the hype for GTA 6, as like it or not, it'll likely be the game of the decade. The thing I'm struggling to process is the fact that, in the grand scheme of things, the sandbox formula hasn't really changed that much. In fact, Rockstar is gearing up to bring back some of its more realistic features, which has me wondering why I wouldn't just stick with my PS2 and the biggest GTA game from the 2000s.I'm naturally talking about Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, an open-worl

  Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam has seemingly confirmed that it is the developer behind Metroid Ravenous.Nintendo has generally been a bit peculiar compared to most major publishers for as long as it has existed. But one of the strangest things the company has done as of late is its complete reluctance to announce who is actually developing its games. You'll typically have to wait until the game releases or, at the very least, reviews release to find out what studio is behind the title; for

These include various exclusive Titles to display on your Playercard, with some tongue-in-cheek options such as "Skill Issue" and "Battledad", but the best news is that the rewards from these BF6 codes are also unlocked in the free-to-play Battlefield Redsec so anyone can use them.

• I got this mini PC running Cyberpunk at 85fps (technically), but it wants to do a whole lot more than that

  11-09-2026 16:32 via gamesradar.com
  
  Mini PCs are slowly taking up residence on the desks of more and more gamers, as the best gaming PC prices continue to soar. Geekom is one of the first brands you'll find in a casual Amazon hunt, and the brand's A9 Max model is its go-to for gamers. This silver cube packs the power of an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor and Radeon 890M integrated graphics. That's not going to trifle RTX 50-series machines, and the Steam Machine's dedicated VRAM and higher GPU wattage isn't going to be too concern

• The Blood of Dawnwalker's lack of stealth makes this Witcher 3-like feel incomplete

  11-09-2026 16:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  I'm not done with The Blood of Dawnwalker yet, but so far, I think it's a hell of an RPG that has its own voice while still feeling a little familiar. The limitations of Rebel Wolves' first dark fantasy action RPG are obvious, but easy to accept when The Witcher 3's pedigree permeates the whole thing. It's sorely missing a stealth system, though.The betst open-world games needn't allow players to sneak around just because, but having actual stealth mechanics might be useful when you're roleplayi

  11-09-2026 16:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Are women in games still reduced to roles like damsels in distress, femme fatales, or dead wives? That's the discussion for this week's episode of the G+RLS podcast. Serena, Emma-Jane, Ashley, and myself set to work debating whether women's roles have truly come a long way - but the TL;DR answer is yes. We touch on games like God of War Laufey and GTA 6 that are both on the way, but also the games that have done really well representing women over the years. And of course all the ways the games
