  You'll need to find a house in Silent Hill Townfall using only images on your CRTV, not that long into the game. It's the first time you'll be introduced to this mechanic, and it's not the easiest set of clues to follow. If you can't work out where your CRTV is directing you, or just can't be bothered, here's where it's sending you and where you need to go.

  23-09-2026 19:05 via gamesradar.com
  
  Arc Raiders' big Frozen Trail update, out October 8, includes a new endgame crafting grind called "weapon amplification," and it sounds like a game-changer.Tied to a new research bench found in your expanded raider outpost, weapon amplification lets you add unique functions and attachments to, for now, 15 different weapons. You can upgrade a Renegade rifle with a scope (!), make the Burletta pistol fully automatic, or build a Rattler rifle that shoots incendiary rounds, for example. In the absen

It's been a long time since the last major update for Arc Raiders after an intentional choice was made to slow down the rate of content updates, but now it looks as though Embark is making the most of that pause to bring back what is arguably the largest update for the game that we've ever seen.Below, I'll take you through everything you need to know about the Frozen

• Grab Resident Evil 4 Remake For Less Than $10 Right Now, Making It Cheaper Than Ever

  23-09-2026 19:00 via gamespot.com
  
  Leon Kennedy might be one of the coolest horror game protagonists. With that iconic curtain hairstyle with layered length, blocking chainsaws with a knife, and doing completely unnecessary backflips out of danger, he’s an action hero in the wrong genre, and that’s exactly why he remains a fan-favorite main character. While the second game introduced us to Mr. Kennedy, Resident Evil 4 made him who he is today, and now you can play one of the best Resident Evil games for less than $10,

• Arc Raiders’ Battle Pass Won’t Be Totally Free Anymore, But It’ll Pay For Itself

  23-09-2026 19:00 via gamespot.com
  
  When Arc Raiders' next major update, Frozen Trail, goes live on October 8, it'll introduce lots of changes and additions, and while the update itself will be free, the new battle pass system that comes with it won't be--at least not entirely.To date, Arc Raiders has featured three battle pass-like Raider Decks in the game. Players could complete dailies to unlock Creds that then got them rewards like new cosmetics and in-game items. With Frozen Trail, Embark Studios' new Reward Pass is replacing

• Obsidian will keep its "creative identity" under Bethesda, Fallout and Elder Scrolls boss says

  23-09-2026 18:56 via gamesradar.com
  
  Storied RPG studio Obsidian is now a part of Bethesda. That news came alongside Xbox's latest round of layoffs and reshuffling, and it's not entirely clear what it means for the studio's future. Apparently, it'll be little more than "a change in reporting structure" – according to a leaked memo from Bethesda president Jill Braff, anyway."The creative identity and strengths that make Obsidian distinct will remain at the core of their studio and work," Braff says in an email to employees, ob

• Steam rewards iconic indie dev with 98% Very Positive reviews on his unhinged golf game

  You may not know the name Luke Muscat, but you've almost definitely played his games before. He was a team lead and designer on Fruit Ninja – you know, the one where you swipe at various fruits on the screen for hours on end – and he designed Jetpack Joyride, among other zany releases. His latest is a solo venture, and it's a completely ridiculous spin on golf.It's called Normal Golf Game, because, well, it's a normal golf game, right?

• WoW: Forever is "for the millions of people who have had their accounts lapse" in Classic, dev says

  23-09-2026 18:34 via gamesradar.com
  
  When Blizzard first unveiled World of Warcraft: Forever during BlizzCon 2026, many fans saw it as the MMO developer's answer to their Classic+ prayers – and, according to world builder Matthew Armstrong, it sounds like it basically is just that.The dev goes into detail on who Forever is truly "for" in a lengthy new thread on Twitter, saying that he had a very particular type of player in mind while helping design Blizzard's revamped take on its 2004 gem: the hardened Classic fan who didn't

• Marvel’s Wolverine Claws Are Real Now, And Your Groceries Don’t Stand A Chance

  23-09-2026 18:20 via gamespot.com
  
  Contrary to comic book science, you don't need to enroll in a shadowy Canadian black-ops program and undergo excruciating pain to get a set of Wolverine's signature claws. Instead, it's much easier--and less traumatic--to simply hire some blacksmiths to craft you a set, which is exactly what PlayStation did to celebrate the launch of Marvel's Wolverine. Choosing Fiedlero Knives for the job, PlayStation tasked the blacksmith with creating a custom set of Wolverine-inspired claws, and unsurprising

• After co-founder apology, Discord rolls out "rightfully" controversial age verification system anyway

  23-09-2026 18:15 via gamesradar.com
  
  As of now, messaging platform Discord operates under an age "assurance" system that automatically sorts you in either an adult, teen, or unconfirmed age group based on context, like how long you've had your account and what servers you're a part of. It's the best co-founder and chief technology officer Stanislav Vishnevskiy could do after apologizing in February for the whole thing. Now, most of what Discord is incorporating in its age assurance policy is what Vishnevskiy outlined in his Februar

• The Poco F9 Ultra closes in on mainstream flagships, at a far lower price

  23-09-2026 18:09 via gamesradar.com
  
  Poco has been producing anti-flagship phones for quite some time now, and while its latest F9 Ultra bumps up the price it's still a seriously competitive alternative to your go-to high-end Ultra Android devices. The Poco F9 Ultra starts at $799 for a 12GB / 256GB configuration, moving up to $949 for 16GB / 512GB and $1,199 for 16GB / 1TB.

• Star Wars Zero Company Reportedly Hits 1 Million Sales, But Will It Be Enough?

  23-09-2026 18:06 via gamespot.com
  
  Star Wars Zero Company released in late August, and the game has evidently found an audience, as market-data firm Alinea Analytics estimates that the game has sold 1 million units.
  Writing on Twitter, analyst Rhys Elliott shared the estimate, which heavily favors PC. Roughly 70% of sales were on PC--unsurprising given the turn-based-tactics genre--with PlayStation following at roughly 20% and Xbox at about 10%. Elliott called its performance thus far "respectable for the genre and during such a

• NBA star warns GTA 6 will ruin November sports because players and coaches will be too busy playing to train

  23-09-2026 18:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  NBA star Steven Adams has warned that sports performance will take a major hit in November because everyone's going to be too busy playing GTA 6.I don't think it's too hyperbolic to say GTA 6 is perhaps the most-anticipated game of all-time within the general public. Rockstar Games titles are always very popular, obviously, but the 13-year wait since GTA 5 released and went on to become one of the best-selling games ever made has made that anticipation a bit more feral.

• Diablo 4's nostalgic new season has convinced me that we need a Diablo 1 remake more than Diablo 5

  23-09-2026 18:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  The success of Diablo 2 Resurrected proves there is hunger for updated versions of Blizzard's original genre-defining ARPGs, and the next remake should be 1996's Diablo. It's one of my favorite games ever and probably the most formative to my career in games. It's aged incredibly well for a 30-year-old game, or at least I thought it did until I saw parts of it beautifully reimagined in Diablo 4's latest update, Season of Hell's Legacy.In case you missed it, which is understandable in the wake of

Adding weapons and more fuel tanks can help with this, but then you need to make other upgrades to account for the extra weight or you won't get anywhere fast!The promos available here will give your account an injection of Cash, so you can afford to purchase the Parts and Weapons you spin for, as w

• Jane's Shed lock code in Silent Hill Townfall

  23-09-2026 17:52 via gamesradar.com
  
  Jane's shed in Silent Hill Townfall is a quick garden puzzle you'll need to solve to reach the medical center. It can trip you up if it doesn't click straight away because there's nothing obvious to guide you initially. There's a padlock that needs a code and a gate you can't open, and no clear clue beyond the plaque naming Jane's shed. If it wasn't for the fact that this then gets named on the map as point of interest, you'd wouldn't really have anything to go on. Here's what you're looking for

• George Lucas says he "redid" his Star Wars movies because they weren't finished

  George Lucas says he went back and edited the original Star Wars trilogy (with minor tweaks to the prequels) because they simply "weren't finished.""Most movies aren't finished; they're simply yanked out of your hands and put in the theaters," Lucas said via IGN. "So you're always saying 'oh, I wish I could have just finished that one piece of thing.' But it's not that way. You have a deadline; you've got to make the deadline.""But then I went back, after Star Wars, and redid all the movies, in

Although it seems grim and scary, HoYoverse states the adventure isn't meant to be impenetrably hard.The studio takes to Twitter to answer a few frequently asked questions of the upcoming release. "We don't want difficulty to be a barrier for players entering Nodusfall," the post reads."The game is designed to be accessible even f

• Godzilla Minus Zero is the first ever Godzilla movie to get an R-rating

  23-09-2026 17:46 via gamesradar.com
  
  Godzilla Minus Zero is breaking new ground for the kaiju franchise. The film, a sequel to smash hit Godzilla Minus One, is the first ever Godzilla movie ever to earn an R-rating. Per Film Ratings, the movie is "rated R for some violent content/bloody images." That might not come as a huge surprise, considering the film will no doubt see Godzilla rampaging through the civilian population. Still, it does mean we're probably in for some pretty gnarly visuals from writer/director Takashi Yamazaki, w

• Looks like Xbox is adding its own version of PlayStation's Platinum Trophy: the Mythic Achievement

  23-09-2026 17:12 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Xbox PC app has seemingly unveiled Mythic Achievements, the Xbox equivalent of a PlayStation Platinum Trophy. Earlier this year, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed that Xbox would be getting its own version of the PlayStation Platinum Trophy for Xbox's Achievement system. For those unaware, on PlayStation, when you unlock all of the Trophies for a game, you're then given a Platinum trophy as a stamp of "I've done everything," whereas over on Xbox you simply have the 1,000 Gamerscore to show off.

• "The Robloxification of Steam": Creator of viral game apologizes after rip-offs flood Valve's store

  Needle In A Haystack Simulator, a co-op sim game on PC that's exactly what it sounds like, went viral on social media over the summer – which, of course, means clones galore.In case you missed it, Needle In A Haystack Simulator made the rounds for its amusing premise: you and your friends work to dig a singular needle out of a massive haystack (we're talking like five million pieces of hay, y'all), much like the old saying.

That means if you pre-ordered your tiny, retro-style pad in March earlier this year, you should expect it to arrive at your door sooner rather than later.The $29.99 (Amazon) pad, much like CRKD's Nitro Deck 2, was subject to delays and was originally expected to begin shipping from late June 2026, but as you're likely well aware, the summer is officially over and June it is not. The shipping window was then moved to August 17-31 2026, but it

• Nintendo Turns 137 Today, Making It Older (And Better) Than Sliced Bread

  23-09-2026 16:37 via gamespot.com
  
  Nintendo is officially 137 years old today, and while that's an odd number to celebrate, it's certainly an impressive one. While it's a leading producer of video games and gaming hardware, the company originally started life as a maker of hanafuda playing cards in 1889, evolving with the times to eventually become a gaming powerhouse. But to put its age into perspective, it's worth looking at things that Nintendo predates.That makes for a long list, but the biggest surprise, as pointed
