The massive entertainment conglomerate killed the deal following OpenAI's announcement that its Sora video app is shutting down.One might guess that OpenAI is launching a new video platform that somehow revises its Sora plans, but the statement put out by the company (via THR) doesn't indicate anything like that, so it's eithe

• Open-world pirate games are so back: Windrose hits 1.5 million Steam wishlists as 800,000 players convince devs to leave the bangin' demo up until launch

  24-03-2026 22:17 via gamesradar.com
  
  I was psyched when I saw an open-world pirate survival game topping the list of most-played Steam Next Fest demos, and I was even more psyched to find out the demo is very good. I've since spent hours with Windrose's Steam demo, crafting and building my base, sailing around the high seas, and pumping other ships full of cannonballs, and I am triply psyched to learn I'll be able to continue doing so until the game's early access launch.Developer Windrose Crew revealed as much in a new Steam updat

• Marathon sold just 1.2 million copies with nearly 70% on Steam, analyst estimates: "It hasn't exactly made the splash Sony and Bungie wanted"

  Analyst Rhyss Elliott of Alinea Analytics estimates that Marathon has sold 1.2 million copies across PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, with the overwhelming majority of those sales coming from Steam.In a report posted to X/Twitter, Elliott reckons Marathon "hasn't exactly made the splash Sony and Bungie wanted, even if the game underneath the surface is a MASTERWORK of design." Our Marathon review, sitting pretty at 4.5/5, is in agreement. (I love it, too.) "A little under 70%" of Marathon sales came

  24-03-2026 21:45 via gamesradar.com
  
  It sounds unfortunate – two, unrelated indie games with the exact same name launching on Steam at around the same time. But this case of bad luck might have actually been the boost developer Piece by Piece publisher No More Robots needed, according to founder Mike Rose.Rose says in a new Bluesky thread digesting the Piece by Piece game launch that everything about it "was so weird and batshit." He means it affectionately, since strange serendipity is exactly why No More Robots "ended up wi

• "We've sportified Steam charts" according to Warframe boss, who sees gamers obsessing over player counts the way "baseball freaks" dig into batting averages

  24-03-2026 21:38 via gamesradar.com
  
  Warframe is one of the most consistent hitters on Steam, and even if it can't match the home runs generated by some of the platform's biggest hits, its on-base percentage is impossible to ignore. If I understood WAR I'd add a related joke here, but the baseball metaphors aren't entirely out of left field – according to Warframe creative director Rebecca Ford, gamers who obsess over Steam charts have more or less tricked themselves into sports discourse."It's almost like we've sportified St

• Arc Raiders once had an Arc called The Cylinder of Pain, so I asked Embark about The Cylinder of Pain, and it turns out The Cylinder of Pain was a proto-Bastion with a big cylinder – of pain

  24-03-2026 21:10 via gamesradar.com
  
  Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios threw out a lot of Arc designs while hashing out the themes, physics, and machine learning of its extraction shooter. The pile of unused Arc designs dwarfs the lineup of machines currently in Arc Raiders, and I got a peek at the cutting room floor during Embark's recent GDC panels, and in a follow-up interview with machine learning research lead Martin Singh-Blom. At GDC, we heard tales of a circular "piston bot" that used hydraulic or similar pressure to pro

  Just as God of War fans suspected, developer Sony Santa Monica considered taking its 2018 reboot series to Egypt before ultimately deciding to center it around Norse mythology, original God of War programmer Tim Moss confirms. Fans found what appeared to be evidence of Sony Santa Monica's flirtation with the great gods of the Nile earlier this year, while spelunking in the 2022 God of War Ragnarok files. Unused scenes reveal a companion for Atreus who can only repeat its own name, "Mau," which i

• Todd Howard defends "VO line flub" in Oblivion Remastered since "it's part of the game’s character," but some bugs only stick around because they're "so complicated"

  24-03-2026 18:33 via gamesradar.com
  
  One of the great joys about playing last year's Oblivion Remastered was seeing and hearing all the mid-2000s Bethesda jank and voice-over mistakes still intact. It's a glitchy, messy game at times, and that's very distinctly part of the appeal. Todd Howard agrees, and leaving in these bugs and errors was a specific decision for the remaster."I think there's a lot of fuzzy judgment calls," he explains during a roundtable attended by GamesRadar+.

  24-03-2026 18:04 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Destiny gacha game Destiny Rising is making some big changes in a sweeping seasonal update – the kind of update that gacha fans would normally, and not unreasonably, associate with a developer hastily bucketing water out of its ship. There is historical truth to the inverse relationship between a gacha game's revenue and its investment in player-friendly features. With Season 4, Destiny Rising is cutting a lot of the gacha gunk entirely by removing daily energy limits, giving out some

  The Star Wars sequels might be controversial now, but the performer behind one of their most beloved characters thinks they'll have their time in the twin suns eventually.
