One of 2025's strangest announcements from Nintendo was the return of the Virtual Boy, a hardware (and software) failure that's been reappraised over the years. Many gamers have a soft spot for it, however, so its inclusion in Nintendo Switch Online's offerings probably was an easy decision to make as the video game giant looked to spice the subscription up. Now we have access to the full roster of games available at launch and teases of more to come..png?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Embark Studios has announced a new game mode for Arc Raiders that should prove exciting for those of you out there who are a little too good at the extraction shooter.
Helldivers 2 has never been short on explosive tools of destruction, but the Siege Breakers update, new warbond included, aims to take things to the next level. Moreover, a terrifying old threat from the first Helldivers could be back soon.
It's no secret Monster Hunter Wilds' optimisation, especially in its PC version, has been a bit cheeks even if updates have slowly tried to bite through its many technical issues.

Grounded 2 has just received a massive new update called The Toxic Tangle, which is adding a new Garden biome, new enemies, and a rideable ladybug with a gun mounted on it. Obviously!
The games industry is in a very weird place right now due to both internal and external factors. Perhaps the most pressing one is the rising cost of key hardware components due to AI and data centre speculation. Therefore, next-gen hardware delays could be on the table as Sony and Microsoft look to maximize PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, respectively, while waiting markets to settle.
Embark Studios has confirmed that both Arc Raiders and the Finals have been hit by DDoS attacks, claiming they were both "extensive" and "co-ordinated".
Many fans rushed to scream Leon S. Kennedy had aged like fine wine when he showed up in Resident Evil Requiem's December 2025 trailer. That's a sentiment most of us can agree with, and it appears we also have to thank Capcom's female developers for their attention to detail.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a beat-em-up we've repeatedly gone back to over the years, always wishing there was a bit more meat and fluidity to it. Thankfully, developer (and publisher) Tribute Games seem to be delivering exactly that with Scott Pilgrim EX.
