The Epic Games Store has two free PC games lined up this week: Rage 2 and Absolute Drift. You can swing back and forth between all-out apocalyptic chaos to the chillest of chill score-chasing. Here's a refresher on both games while you mull...

Fallout 76, it's growing older all the time, and in many ways, it's getting younger in Bethesda's mind. While you think about that for a second, know that Fallout 76 is getting another PTS (public test server) build fairly soon. Aiming...

Bethesda announced that Robert A. Altman, the co-founder and CEO of ZeniMax, has passed away. "He was a true visionary, friend, and believer in the spirit of people and the power of what they could accomplish together," Bethesda said. "He w...

Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the biggest stories in the gaming industry last year was Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media, which saw the former dole out a staggering $7.5 billion for the umbrella group and its subsidiary compani...

Fallout 76 just got a fairly large update as far as inventory management is concerned: which...turns out is a huge part of this series! Yep, the "inventory update" is currently being put through the paces by players, and overall, on pa...

The new year has started, and Bethesda is back to work. On what? Bringing out the new Elder Scrolls in a reasonable amount of time? Giving us substantial info on Starfield? No! Fallout 76 of course! A new "Inside the Vault" blog g...

In case you missed it, one of 2020's few solaces involved the pairing of the "Doom Guy/Slayer" with Animal Crossing's Isabelle. Born out of a simple connection (the same release date for Doom Eternal and New Horizons), the fan communit...

Fallout 76 has been through a lot. A rocky launch. A complete 180 on whether or not game-impacting items would be sold as DLC. Bugs. More rocky update launches. But in 2020, it made a ton of strides to feel less like a wasteland: in th...

It's time for the third season of Fallout 76 to begin, and we have patch notes to mark the occasion. This week on the official Fallout 76 blog, Bethesda laid down their plans for the "final update of the year," preceding the upcom...

Doom and Doom II will never die. I can confirm this, as I recently finished the sequel on Switch for the billionth time. It's one of the few games where it's kind of a given that it's going to be re-released over and over, especially if a b...

In case you missed it, Bethesda just launched Fallout 76's free Steel Dawn update, which will conclude sometime next year with a subsequent patch. But they're also working on a ton of upgrades behind the scenes, a few of which we're privy t...

Xbox has fallen into a biweekly routine of letting us know all the imminent-arriving games on Xbox Game Pass. We're due for another one of those soon, but we got word about a high-profile game a little early. During tonight's Game Awards st...

The country roads have taken us home, but they also lead away from home. That's how paths work. They connect two points. That's an urban planning lesson and also a geometry lesson. Bethesda has plans for where those roads go. In an intervie...

This past week, Bethesda unleashed their Steel Dawn update for Fallout 76, a follow-up to their big Wastelanders expansion earlier this year. Like the latter, Steel Dawn was also free, and is seemingly being fueled by the game's Fallout 1st...

As we know, Doom Eternal is digital-only on Switch, and it'll take up around 18GB of space at launch. But Bethesda has updated its Switch FAQ with a few more juicy tidbits. It looks like Eternal won't be left out of the gyro aimin...

Tired: Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Wired: Doom Eternal is a Christmas video game. Is the logic and thematic connection there? Probably not, but a lot of new people will try Doom Eternal in December. Microsoft has announced...

As a reminder, Bethesda canned the physical release of Doom Eternal on Switch at this juncture. The same Doom Eternal port that's due out in a few days on the eShop. Now that everything is all set, a Switch eShop page just op...

[Update: Bethesda has posted an "everything you need to know" blowout post following the trailer below. It goes over everything from the main story, to shelters, to potential bundles.]  Microsoft got in on Bethesda at a decent tim...

We don't really know what the future holds for Fallout 76 beyond more microtransaction-laden seasons and the "Fallout 1st" subscription service: but for now, we have the new highly anticipated free Steel Dawn update. Yes, after much ad...

As Nintendo Switch owners eagerly wait to Rip 'n' Tear through Doom Eternal, new information from publisher Bethesda suggests that the hellish shooter sequel's physical edition may have been canceled. Flags were first raised after Gamestop ...
