The life-sim game InZoi is coming this month, and the game's developer has finally confirmed additional key details, including the price of the game at launch.

Game director Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim said during the InZoi global showcase that the game will debut on Steam in early access for $40, according to PC Gamer. He said the game still has "a lot to improve on," which is part of the reason why it's launching in early access.

Kjun also confirmed that InZoi will receive four free updates throughout 2025, while smaller updates will add things like new outfits and furniture--the plan is for these smaller updates to come at a pace of every three months. However, the final plan is not finalized and things could change, he said.

Fallout 76 Season 20: Glow of the Ghoul is live with a massive update that lets players finally become a ghoul. The ghoul-themed season also includes a questline, a new landmark, and more.

Bethesda released a new trailer for the update, which can be viewed below, and it shows off a character's transformation from smooth skin to ghoul. It even highlights some of the options players can choose to make their ghoul unique in the game's character customization.

Players can transform their characters into ghouls as early as level 50. They'll be able to collect and equip 30 new ghoul-specific perk cards, giving new ways to build out characters and suit unique playstyles.

Road to the Show is one of the most popular game modes in MLB The Show 25. The mode allows you to create your own player and ascend the ranks of Major League Baseball to eventually reach the big leagues and make a true name for yourself. There are plenty of different factors that go into making it to the Show, and your player's batting stance can be one of them.

While it might not sound like a major factor, some players die on the hill that your batting stance can make a huge difference at the plate. Whether it's due to timing, the look of the swing, or the starting position of the bat, a particular batting stance can be considered "better" than others.

To help you narrow down your choices from the hundreds of batting stances in MLB The Show 25, we've listed our top seven stances and why you should use them. The list is in no particular order.

After paying college athletes $600 to appear in College Football 25, EA will pay players more than double that for this year's CFB 26. EA Sports confirmed to FBS players in an email today, obtained by The Athletic, stating that players will get $1,500 if they opt in to appear in this year's game. This is no surprise, as this information leaked earlier this year.

Additionally, players will receive a Deluxe Edition copy of the game--this was also offered in 2025. EA will pay some athletes more for appearing as brand ambassadors, just like last year.

A spokesperson for EA said, "College sports are growing and changing, and our focus at EA Sports is on continuing to put athletes first as we bring them in the game in College Football 26 and beyond."

Retro hardware manufacturer Analogue has delayed its modernized Nintendo 64 to July 2025. Originally planned for a Q1 2025 release, the highly anticipated $250 console has been sold out since October when preorders opened. The Analogue 3D is an FPGA device designed to provide an authentic N64 gameplay experience in 4K resolution on modern displays.

It even supports all of the original accessories. It doesn't come with a controller, but if you want to ditch your old three-prong N64 controllers, Analogue collaborated with 8BitDo on a new-style controller that looks quite lovely. Unlike the console, the 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller is still available to preorder at Amazon. Amazon currently lists the release date as June 30, though it's possible this is a placeholder and the controller will launch alongside the console in July.

In 2024, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company sued Palworld developer Pocketpair on patent infringement claims, and now Palworld's community manager has revealed more details on how it all went down.

Appearing at GDC 2025 this week, community manager John Buckley said Pocketpair did "legal checks" prior to Palworld's release to try to mitigate a lawsuit risk in Japan, PC Gamer reported. Given that, Buckley said the team was confused when Nintendo and The Pokemon Company sued Pocketpair in Japan.

"When the lawsuit was announced we were like, 'What?' And we went back to the lawyers, and the lawyers contacted the courts and asked, 'What's going on?' and that's when we realized it was patents they were going for,'" Buckley said.

Lego has produced multiple sets based on famous video game franchises over the years, and in 2025, it's tackling one of the biggest IP of all time in the form of Pokemon. For now, Lego is only teasing a single kit to kick off its new Pokemon line, but it looks like it'll be focusing on the Pokemon franchise's mascot Pikachu with this kit. Here's a look at the teaser image for it:

Lego Pokemon

There's not much to go on here, but the image does show off a collection of Lego blocks assembled to form Pikachu's tail. More pricing details, a release date, and a closer look at what Lego is working on will be revealed at a later date. Beyond that, Lego also recently revealed two new sets inspired by Nintendo. First up, there's the 1,972-piece replica of Mario and his kart, making this one of the largest Super Mario Lego sets out there. Priced at $170, this will be exclusive to the Lego Store when it launches on May 15 and it'll be available through other shops later in the year.

The other set Lego has teased is a Nintendo Game Boy, but for now, there's not much to go on regarding price or an official release date. One reliable leaker has claimed that the Lego Game Boy will go on sale starting October 1, will be priced at $60, and contains 421 pieces.

An evolution of Xbox Live Gold, Game Pass Core grants subscribers access to dozens of games on console, as well as online multiplayer access and member-exclusive discounts. As mentioned, Game Pass Core's game library doesn't get updated very often, making this a notable event.

The death of single-player video games has been a hot topic for several years now--one that Larian Studios founder and Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke weighed in on recently. Posting on his X account, Vincke explained how he doesn't believe that traditional single-player experiences aren't dead yet.

"That time of the year again when big single-player games are declared dead," Vincke posted. "Use your imagination. They're not. They just have to be good."

This lines up with previous comments made by Vincke, as in an interview with GameSpot, he revealed his thoughts on how other studios could replicate the success of Baldur's Gate 3. At The Game Awards last year, Vincke also gave a speech on how the winning formula for a game was "stupidly simple" but somehow kept getting lost.

If you fondly remember the old days of Counter-Strike before newfangled inventions like the Source engine, we've got good news for you. The mod team behind CSPromod has announced CS: Legacy, a standalone remake of Counter-Strike 1.6 built entirely in Valve's Source SDK.

As you can see from the above announcement trailer, the project features classic maps like de_nuke, all gussied up with 4K textures. It even has the static falling-over death animation that Counter-Strike 1.6 players remember well. According to the trailer, the project is coming to Steam Early Access in 2025.

Posts on the project's Discord suggest that the initial release will include the classic maps Dust2, Nuke, Train, Poolday, and Aim_map. The small team behind CS: Legacy previously worked together on CSPromod back in the 2000s, which was an attempt to bring CS 1.6-style gameplay to the Source engine. The original Counter-Strike released in 2000, and was replaced with Counter-Strike: Source in 2004, a change that was considered controversial in the community at the time.

Apparently it's possible to be guilty of a "hate crime to parkour." Unfortunately for Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonist Yasuke, he is culpable in this department, according to a couple of experts in navigating urban obstacles.

PC Gamer rounded up two parkour athletes, Benj and Toby from Storror Parkour Pro, to discuss what is actually realistic in Assassin's Creed Shadows and what's nigh impossible. The pair took issue with Yasuke using his knee to ascend a ledge, laughing while addressing the problem. "You'll be canceled out of any parkour community around the world," said Benj. Toby added salt to the wound by saying, "That's a hate crime to parkour that climb up there. Yeah, that's brutal." Yasuke is one of two playable characters in the game, with Naoe serving as the more agile option.

Basically, the duo explained that parkour should never include utilizing your knees to climb up somewhere. The same is true for your elbows, since those actions are terrible for your joints. Intriguingly, the franchise's iconic leap of faith is actually realistic--from certain distances. They argue jumping off from shorter distances, say no more than seven stories, could be possible with a good amount of hay. But when Assassin's Creed heroes dive off from 30-plus stories, that's a no-go.

Hazelight just released Split Fiction, and the game is getting rave reviews and has sold more than 2 million copies so far. Everyone always wants to know what's next, and now director Josef Fares has confirmed Hazelight is already at work on its next project. Fares also discussed Hazelight's partnership with EA, saying the company is a good, respectful partner.

"Split Fiction is the best-received game we have done, everybody is super happy, but I'm so fully focused and excited on the next thing," he said on the Friends Per Second podcast (via Culture Crave). "We've already started." He also confirmed work began about a month ago.

Fares didn't share any concrete information on Hazelight's next project--which is "quite early" in development--but he said the mood at the studio right now is very positive and staffers are amped for what's coming next. He said the team is feeling like they can do "way better" with the next game, whatever it turns out to be.

Fortnite's roster of streamers who have skins in the item shop just got a little bigger with the addition of Cody "Clix" Conrod, who, at 19 years old, will be one of the youngest people ever to have a Fortnite skin based on them. Along with the new Clix skin, there will be a full slate of Clix-related cosmetics and, in a first for this sort of thing, a Clix-themed remix of an existing skin.

Clix, for those who aren't familiar, made a name for himself by earning a spot in the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 when he was just 14 years old. And while he continues to compete at the highest levels, he's also become a popular streamer and personality, which is how he's landed his very own Fortnite skin.

Clix's slate of cosmetics will include a single skin that comes with two distinctive styles based on a meme you probably know even if he's new to you--one in which he's sporting a t-shirt and pajama pants, and another in which he's wearing a suit and tie. In addition to the skin, Clix's set includes two back blings, two emotes, a wrap, and a pickaxe.
