Subnautica 2 is off to a roaring start, and developer Unknown Worlds recently celebrated the fact that 4m players have now dipped their toes into the waters of the ocean planet Proteus. That's a lot of early access feedback to comb through, but the studio says it's been doing just that and has now shared more details on the changes and major additions it's planning to implement next.
Current-generation Xbox hardware sales have been low in all major markets, registering its worst-ever year in the UK last year. Fortunes almost turned in May, however, a month when PlayStation suffered a big drop in its own sales.
Pearl Abyss is on quite the Crimson Desert patch roll, and has just released another update for its popular single player RPG spin-off from hit Korean MMO Black Desert. Just last week, the developer added the ability to remap your controller, and now it is gone and added new minigames and more.
For a while after it launched, I never felt like the PlayStation 5 Pro ever actually came out. You could argue Sony hasn't been promoting it well. The initial Ghost of Yotei reveal took place in a September 2024 State of Play, yet its trailer didn't include Pro footage, and the accompanying PS Blog post makes no mention of whether or not the game would support it. At that point, the Pro was mere days old - but you'd think the first major first-party title to be announced after the Pro's reveal would, you know, reference it?
The centre-piece show of Summer Game Fest - the literal Summer Game Fest showcase - takes place tonight at 9pm UK time (10pm CEST / 5pm EDT / 2pm PDT), and we'll be covering all the news and announcements from it, live, right here in this article.

Newly-appointed Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma, has now spent over 100 days in her new role. Speaking recently at Bloomberg Tech Live, the executive was asked yet again about the company's stance on exclusivity for first-party games, and whether or not this can even be managed when Microsoft is also one of the largest third-party publishers in the world.
Fumito Ueda, the creator of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian, revealed his next sci-fi project at tonight's Summer Game Fest - the first big information drop we've seen about the game since its reveal back at The Game Awards 2024.
Resident Evil: Veronica has been announced at Summer Game Fest. The game will release in 2027 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
There are, after a good few hours playing it, quite a few games like Control Resonant. It's an RPG with a kind of pseudo open-world - an "open-ended modern world" I believe was Remedy's way of putting it in its presentation to the press earlier this week - and it has skill trees and some light resource-gathering and item-upgrading. It has some light platforming with a double-jump and a dash, and melee combat with perfect dodges and aerial combos.
Crossfire was revealed today during Summer Game Fest's opening ceremony. This is the debut title from That's No Moon, an independent studio featuring key talent behind the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot's campaign, and Naughty Dog before that.
