  14-04-2026 23:56 via gamesradar.com
  
  After asking Rockstar to cough up $200,000, a hacker group has made good on its threats to release what it had dug up of the company's internal data.

• Hideo Kojima would "rather have the player walk away impacted than entertained," says Death Stranding 2 Higgs actor Troy Baker: "The only way he knows how to swing is big"

  14-04-2026 23:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  In an interview with GamesRadar+ ahead of the 2026 BAFTA Game Awards, actor Troy Baker describes Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima as a developer who puts "big swings" and creative risks above some need to entertain. Baker, who played Higgs in Death Stranding 2 and has acted in dozens of high-profile games, says working with Kojima was a process of trust. "It was him trusting me with that role," he says. "It was me trusting him to go, 'You know where this story is going. I'm go

Most of them are licensed movie and TV tie-ins to properties that have not exactly stood the test of time, though one title in particular stands out.

• Bungie makes Marathon less vicious as players keep leaving: update adds free solo self-revives, a way to revive enemy runners, and a "stay together" option for good teammates

  14-04-2026 19:36 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Marathon mid-season update rolling out today feels like a major step in the seemingly unavoidable process of Bungie making the game more approachable and rewarding as its player count continues to fall despite excellent gameplay and aesthetics. Bungie made Marathon kind of miserable on purpose, but it turns out that still makes it feel miserable to many players, so this update targets several pain points and at least tries to make the experience more welcoming. Solo players will enjoy a few
