So much data that you might start to fear for your SSD's life. Luckily, the devs have addressed those concerns directly with a patch.The issues with drive usage have apparently been there since Windrose's April 14 launch, and they were the subject of sporadic posts on the game's Steam forums.

• Mortal Kombat 2 star says the first movie was "kind of like a prequel" as the sequel finally launches the tournament

  05-05-2026 20:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  If you saw 2021's Mortal Kombat, you probably noticed a major omission: the tournament that has defined the blood-spattering fighting game since its inception. Imminent sequel Mortal Kombat 2 course-corrects that strange choice by structuring the entire film around five fights to the death, with Earthrealm on the line.It's understandable, then, that even the first movie's lead actor, Lewis Tan, views 2021's Mortal Kombat as a "prequel" to the main event, with the star detailing his thoughts duri

• GTA 6 should be $80 so the whole "struggling" industry can raise game prices, Bank of America says, and players will accept it because they love AI

  05-05-2026 19:14 via gamesradar.com
  
  Sure, you've probably considered the effect that paying $80 or more for GTA 6 would have on your own wallet, but have you ever stopped to consider the poor, struggling game industry? The multi-billion dollar publishers that make AAA games can't justify raising their own prices if a megalith like GTA 6 sticks to the old model, and Take-Two should really just do the rest of the industry a solid and open the $80 floodgates.At least, that's the argument made by Bank of America analyst Omar Dessouky

  The Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is giving us all a hearty dose of '90s JRPG nostalgia, but you know what kind of gaming content I've been missing? Bad leaks. Today's rumors are too slick, with apparent insiders sharing inside info from anonymous sources that's often just vague enough to offer plausible deniability. The new leaks for FF7 part 3, though, offer all the classics, from blurry screenshots to overly detailed overviews promising the moon and more. Oh yeah – we're back, baby.Thi

  The Maul – Shadow Lord season 1 finale was certainly huge, featuring an epic showdown with Darth Vader and the tragic death of Devon Izara's Master, Eeko-Dio Daki. But, amid all the big moments, some answers to major questions about Maul raised by Star Wars Rebels can be found.

  Gaming hardware launches can often feel like a warzone, especially when new bits of technology are hotly anticipated.
