Despite its limits as a game streaming device, PlayStation Portal has proven surprisingly successful—and now, the update allowing for PlayStation Portal to stream from Sony's servers instead of your own PlayStation 5 has finally come out of beta, meaning the device can now technically function as a standalone handheld. There are still many caveats to that categorization, including the fact it still needs to stream all of its games over a speedy Internet connection, but no longer needing to own a PS5 or PS5 Pro just to use a Portal is a huge boon.

Octopath Traveler 0 Review in Progress -- A Masterclass In Villany
Although its popularity doesn't reach the heights of other established series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, the Octopath Traveler franchise is proving to be rather seminal for the JRPG genre as a whole, mainly thanks to its HD-2D visual style which has been employed to great success in other titles, including the tactical role-playing game Triangle Strategy, the upcoming action role-playing game The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, and remakes of classic games such as the first three entries in the Dragon Quest series and in Star Ocean: The Second Story R, remake of the second entry in the series created by tri-Ace.

Octopath Traveler 0 review: "The strongest entry in this retro-styled JRPG series yet, I love the greater focus on tactical battles"
Although retreading a familiar nostalgic path, Octopath Traveler 0 improves its JRPG formula, while also being an enhanced and unabridged adaptation of the series' mobile spin-off without the grubby monetization. The cast may not have the same limelight as the original (flawed) premise intended but they still shine in turn-based battles that are among the genre's finest.

Escape from Tarkov set the standard for extraction shooters.

Extract and you get all your loot, which can be used or flogged off to traders and other players. Die, and you lose everything.

Get in, get loot, get out, and don't get shot. Those are the core tenets that extraction shooters live and die by.

Embark Studios is no stranger to unique takes on familiar competitive genres, with The Finals having been released nearly two years prior. The team is back with a new spin on the extraction shooter genre, one where antagonistic and automated robots have taken over the landscape, and players can only survive above ground for thirty minutes at a time before an unstoppable threat rolls in. This is ARC Raiders.

Tales of Berseria Remastered announced for PS5, PC, Series X|S and Switch
The 'Tales' franchise is a long-running though oft-forgotten series of JRPGs which started its life all the way back in 1995. In the 30 years since, we've seen well over a dozen titles released across a plethora of platforms. While the last mainline entry 'Tales of Arise' launched back in 2021, publisher Bandai Namco has kept the series alive with a bunch of remasters; the latest of which will see 2016's Tales of Berseria come to modern platforms -- including Xbox and Switch for the first time.

Well over a decade on from its initial release on PS3 and Xbox 360, the much-loved Red Dead Redemption was finally ported to 'modern' systems in 2023. While a decent upgrade, the remaster was technically only released for the PS4/Pro and the OG switch (as well as PC), with Xbox users having to make do with an enhanced backwards compatible Xbox 360 version. In an unexpected move, it appears as though the original Red Dead Redemption is set to receive native current-gen and Switch 2 ports in the near future.

At a time when the horror genre was thriving, KONAMI's continued neglect of the Silent Hill series was baffling.

Thankfully, that wasn't the case: last year, Bloober Team's excellent Silent Hill 2 remake brought the series back to life.

Battlefield 6 drops ray tracing for better performance
When Nvidia launched its very first RTX series graphics cards in 2018, it brought real-time ray-tracing to the video game world. One of the first games to showcase RT effects was Battlefield V, and the series has included ray-tracing in its graphics options ever since. That won't be the case this year though, with Battlefield 6 removing ray-tracing in favour of greater performance.

Battlefield 6 Skips Ray Tracing, Prioritizes Performance Over Visual Effects
Ripple Effect Studios has chosen a new direction for Battlefield 6: the game will not feature ray tracing when it launches on October 10th or in later updates. Technical Director Christian Buhl told ComicBook that the studio doesn't plan to add this feature showing a clear change in how the franchise approaches top-notch graphics. Rather than chasing fancy visuals, the team wants to focus on how well the game runs—which matters a lot in a fast, multiplayer-focused shooter where your frame rate can mean winning or losing.
September 1, 2025 — Source

Battlefield 6 won't support ray tracing at launch or later
Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be one of the more accessible entries in the long-running shooter series, and part of that has to do with what the developers decided not to include. Ripple Effect, one of the studios working on the game, has confirmed that ray tracing won't be available when the game launches—and it's not coming anytime soon either. According to Studio Technical Director Christian Buhl, the team chose to leave the feature out early in development so they could focus on making the game run well for as many players as possible.

Atomfall Review -- Shadow of Cumbria
Atomfall is a game that came out of nowhere for me. I was browsing Steam a few weeks ago, having taken a little break after the gaming marathon of Civilization VII and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and there it was: a post-apocalyptic game set in Britain. Considering I'm from Britain and have been to where this is based—that being Windermere—and I love Metro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Fallout, and other similar games, it was a no-brainer.

Time signatures ebbed and flowed with far more fluidity than modern mainstream ears are accustomed to - a story-focused form of jazz, if you like.
