Borderlands 4 Day One Patch Will Help Performance, But Don't Expect It To Run On Low-Spec Hardware
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has responded to a preview complaining about Borderlands 4's performance. He says that the day one patch will improve performance, but that the game may not be playable on PCs that don't meet the minimum system requirements.
Pitchford made this statement in response to a Destructoid preview of Borderlands 4 from staff writer Scott Duwe, which praised the game but raised concerns about its PC performance. Responding to Duwe, Pitchford wrote on X, "The Day 1 patch does a lot! That said, the expectation for using a below min-spec machine should be that the game is unplayable."
The Day 1 patch does a lot! That said, the expectation for using a below min-spec machine should be that the game is unplayable. That the game runs at all on your system is a miracle. That you can get 55 - 60 fps out of heavy combat is actually incredible given how the engine and…
— Randy Pitchford (@DuvalMagic) September 6, 2025However, there was some miscommunication. Duwe was not running the game at below minimum specifications, as 2K PR later verified. Furthermore, a failing power supply unit contributed to Duwe's technical issues. Eventually, Duwe updated the preview saying, "After working with 2K PR, I’ve worked out the majority of the worst graphical issues I was having."

Nintendo has secured another payout from a lawsuit it pursued against a producer of products designed to help pirate Switch games. Already notorious for its hardline approach to piracy, modding, and emulation, Nintendo has been granted a monetary judgment under which the target of the lawsuit must pay the company $2 million.
As spotted by X user OatmealDome, Ryan Michael Daly was found by a district court in Washington to have damaged Nintendo through his production and sale of modded devices. According to the court document reviewed by GameSpot, he created products "primarily designed for the purpose of circumventing the TPMs [technological protection measures]." The court also found that Daly's actions "caused NOA [Nintendo of America] significant and irreparable harm."
Along with having to pay $2 million to Nintendo, the modder is also permanently prohibited from taking any future action to evade Nintendo's security or digital rights protection systems or to give guidance to other people in modding or pirating Nintendo property. The court order also mandates the seizure and destruction of any devices that Daly used in running his modding business.

Battlefield 2042’s recently released “Road to Battlefield 6” battle pass has proven to be a popular addition. Given it offers multiple cosmetic items for the upcoming Battlefield 6, a boost in active players makes sense. And with a more active community now playing the game, EA has announced that a small hotfix update is coming tomorrow, September 9.
The main issue seemed to be based on progression. Some of the weekly missions involving the M1 Garand, for instance, weren’t tracking correctly in All Out Warfare. Some players also felt that the grind to unlock the free cosmetics was a bit much. This has led to a Tier Skip function--a feature that, depending on who you’re talking to, presents its own set of issues--allowing players to pay to advance through the ranks. The hotfix also addresses some weapon/gadget balancing, fixed a Playercard issue, and updated the Team Deathmatch playlist.
The “Road to Battlefield 6” battle pass lasts until October 7. Fans still have time to work their way through the pass ahead of the game’s October 10 launch; tomorrow’s patch should make hitting Tier 60 that much easier.

Battlefield 6 isn't out for another month, but a leaked gameplay clip from a recent Battlefield Labs playtest has revealed the return of a fan-favorite feature from Battlefield 1--dirt and mud buildup on weapons.
As seen on the Battlefield subreddit, an uploaded gameplay clip from user Ter-Lee-Comedy of a recent Battlefield Labs playtest shows players' guns will once again become covered in mud, blood, and grime over the course of a battle. The feature was first added in Battlefield 1 and its sequel Battlefield V, but was not included in 2021's Battlefield 2042.

In addition to the video clip, Ter-Lee-Comedy also posted a before-and-after comparison screenshot of a pristine weapon as shown in the Battlefield 6 open beta compared to one covered in grime from a more recent playtest.

Lego Star Wars: Gingerbread AT-AT Walker (697 pieces)
See at Lego StoreWhile the phrase "Holiday-themed Star Wars release" might bring up unpleasant memories of the Star Wars Christmas Special, this upcoming Lego Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT Walker looks like it'll be a much more enjoyable way to add some Star Wars flavor to your festivities. Fans will be able to grab the $60 set starting October 1. While preorders are not available, you can wishlist the Lego Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT Walker at Lego's online store to be notified once it's available--which is probably a wise decision, since we expect this to be a very popular release.

Just about every inch of the walker has received a holiday makeover, including the Darth Vader minifigure--which appears to be made out of gingerbread and is equipped with a candy cane and cake.
A few interactive elements are scattered throughout the build, such as a side wall that opens to reveal a fireplace, table, stockings, and a pile of gifts. The legs of the AT-AT are also posable, and the cockpit can be opened and is large enough to seat a minifigure.

Evercade EXP-R Handheld - Tomb Raider Bundle
See at AmazonEvercade VS-R Home Console - Tomb Raider Bundle
See at AmazonAfter being sold out nearly all year at US retailers, Evercade gaming hardware is back in stock in stock at Amazon. The Evercade EXP-R handheld and VS-R home console are bundled with the Tomb Raider I-III Collection and up for grabs directly from Amazon for $130 each. Both systems are charcoal gray with turquoise accents. The Tomb Raider bundles were difficult to find at launch last holiday, and the US tariff situation made the stock situation even worse--and led to a $30 price increase. The stellar Street Fighter and Mega Man Evercade Bartop Arcades remain sold out, but you can preorder the Evercade Alpha Taito Bartop Arcade for $260 ahead of its November 12 launch.
Evercade is cartridge-based retro hardware made by Blaze Entertainment. More than 75 Evercade cartridges have been released since 2020, including nearly 50 console game collections, 20 arcade game collections, and 10 home computer carts. Some of the collections are out of print, but we created an Amazon hub with all of the cartridge collections you can buy for around MSRP. Many of the cartridge collections are loaded with classic 8-bit and 16-bit games, but there have been a few N64 and PS1 games, including the first three Tomb Raider games and Legacy of Kain titles. There are even some exclusive enhanced editions of retro games like Duke Nukem 1 + 2 Remastered. Other collections focus on retro-inspired indies such as the awesome GBA platformer Goodboy Galaxy and Roguecraft, the newly released tower defense game developed for Amiga.
Evercade Cartridge Collections
All in-stock console, arcade, and home computer game collections.
See at Amazon Evercade EXP-R Handheld - Tomb Raider Bundle $129 | In stock September 8The Evercade EXP-R has a 4.3-inch high-resolution IPS display with an 800 x 480 aspect ratio. The 8-way D-pad on the EXP is superb, as are the face face buttons, triggers, and shoulder buttons. The ergonomics and build quality are great, but keep in mind it may not necessarily be pocketable--unless you have large pockets. The EXP-R measures 7.76 x 3.1 x 0.8 inches. For audio, it has a fairly loud stereo speaker and a 3.5mm auxiliary port for wired headphones. It comes with a USB-C cable and runs for 4-5 hours between charges. Firmware updates can be downloaded over Wi-Fi.
Two of the six face buttons are located below the D-pad for TATE mode, an alternate play style for arcade games with vertically oriented aspect ratios. There is a dedicated grip for TATE mode that can be purchased separately, but it's rarely in stock at Amazon.
Though primarily a cartridge-based handheld, the Evercade EXP-R has a library of more than 10 digital games that can be unlocked via the Secret menu in settings or by pressing specific button combinations on the home screen. Evercade Info Central has a list of hidden games and how to unlock them.
See at Amazon Evercade VS-R Home Console - Tomb Raider Bundle $130 | In stock September 8For the most part, the Evercade VS-R is the same system, just as a home console with multiplayer support. It connects to your TV or monitor via HDMI and displays in 1080p resolution. The VS-R has two cartridge slots and four USB controller ports.
The bundle includes one wired controller, and additional VS-R controllers for multiplayer are sold separately. That said, you probably already have a compatible wired controller. For wireless controller support, we'd highly recommend the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter 2, which is on sale for $17 (was $20), as it unlocks wireless support for 8BitDo's Bluetooth controllers as well as controllers made by Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and other manufacturers.
Similar to the NES, the VS-R has a front hatch that flips open to reveal the cartridge slots. The VS-R has even more hidden games than the EXP-R, but these extra titles--13 and counting--are tied to loading two specific Evercade carts at the same time.
Along with the console, controller, and Tomb Raider Collection, the bundle includes a USB power cord and an HDMI cable.
See at AmazonEach game in Evercade's sprawling library of classics and retro-inspired games supports save states and full button mapping. You can remap inputs on a hardware level in home menu settings or on a per-game basis. You can switch between three aspect ratios: Original, Full Screen, and Pixel Perfect. You can add scanlines to imitate the look of a CRT TV, and there are a handful of bezel options for games that don't fill the screen.

The Life is Strange TV series is finally, after years of development, being made, as Amazon MGM Studios just recently announced a series order. One of the writers of the original game has reacted to the announcement, saying in a post on social media, "The only people not involved are the creators."
IGN discovered that Christian Divine, who wrote the first two Life is Strange games, posted this recently, but hasn't followed up with any further commentary.
People have pointed out that Amazon MGM Studios' announcement didn't include mention of the original creators of Life Is Strange, Don't Nod, or any of the original writers. When the show was first announced all the way back in 2016, there was no mention of Don't Nod, either.

Like its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei is shaping up to make a strong case for digital tourism. A new video released by Sony shows off several scenic locales from the upcoming game, and best of all, you don't have to worry about any bandits or ronin interrupting your tour of Ezo while listening to an extended version of "The North" from composer Toma Otowa's soundtrack for the game.
Ghost of Yotei officially launches on October 2 for PS5, and as that date draws closer, Sony and developer Sucker Punch Productions have shared more details on it. Set hundreds of years after Ghost of Tsushima and revolving around a quest for vengeance, Sucker Punch is aiming to keep players from feeling overwhelmed by open-world monotony while they travel across Ezo.
"Maybe the wind is telling you, if you would like to continue the story, go that way," game director Nate Fox said. "But you see something out of the corner of your eye that catches your curiosity. And you say, 'you know what? I'm going to go check that out.' That moment where the game's not telling you really about where to go or what to do. It's you. That's the most beautiful thing about open-world games."

At long last, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here and has achieved a massive concurrent player count on Steam during its first weekend, but for players struggling with the game's inherent difficulty, a selection of Silksong mods that make the game easier can already be found online.
Like the original Hollow Knight, one of the most appealing aspects of Silksong is the challenging gameplay loop, as you're tasked with traversing treacherous environments, overcoming tough bosses, and gradually improving your skills the more you progress. However, some players have already quit the game after one too many deaths due to Silksong's difficulty (via Reddit), with some claiming that it's even harder than the first game.
That's why over at Nexus Mods (via Insider Gaming), you can already find a number of mods that have been created to reduce the difficulty. One mod named "Always Have Compass Effect (BepInEx)" is currently the most-downloaded plugin on the site and essentially makes it so the player can always see their position on the map.

The second season of The Last of Us won its first Emmy Award at the Creative Arts Emmys over the past weekend. It won for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series for the episode "Through the Valley," the second episode of the season--and its most traumatic.
The show was recognized in a range of technical and creative categories, including Best Production Design, Casting, Picture Editing, Contemporary Makeup, Prosthetic Makeup, Music Supervision, Sound Mixing, and Special Visual Effects. Even its behind-the-scenes documentary earned a nomination in the Nonfiction Short category.
This year, The Last of Us secured 16 total nominations, down from the 24 it received for its first season. Pedro Pascal (Joel) was nominated for Best Actor, despite his limited appearance in only three episodes, while Bella Ramsey (Ellie) received a Best Actress nomination. Supporting cast members Kaitlyn Dever (Abby), Catherine O'Hara (Gail), Jeffrey Wright (Isaac), and Joe Pantoliano (Eugene) also received acting nods. The series was also nominated for Best Drama for the second consecutive year.

The PlayStation 5 turns five years old in November, and talk about the yet-to-be-announced PS6 has begun picking up lately. One idea that the proposed successor console could reportedly adopt from the current PlayStation hardware generation is a detachable disc drive.
According to Insider Gaming, having a detachable disc drive will allow Sony to reduce production and shipping costs of the PS6. This is also seen as a way to protect the company during "uncertain times", likely a reference to ongoing turbulence in the market brought on by US president Donald Trump's tariffs.
Essentially, this will allow consumers to choose between either a PS6 with a disc drive--a more traditional option--or a cheaper digital model that they can later upgrade with the add-on. In comparison, the PS5 console first launched with either a built-in disc drive or an all-digital model, and people who bought the more affordable console had no option for upgrading at the time with an add-on accessory. This changed when the slimmer PS5 console revision was introduced, and last year's launch of the PS5 Pro did not include a disc drive at all--although one can still be attached to it.

The collage of team logos features many of the biggest programs in the country, including the reigning national champ Buckeyes of The Ohio State University. The front of the case also features Notre Dame, Nebraska, Penn State, Clemson, Florida, and more schools. The back of the case has Alabama, Texas, Oregon, and a few other schools.

As mentioned, you can bundle EA Sports College Football 26 with Madden NFL 26 for either console platform for $100 at Best Buy, which is a savings of $40 overall. Madden NFL 26 has yet to receive a discount on its own, but Best Buy's deal gets you both EA Sports sims for $50 each.

The Downside Of Game Pass, According To A Former Xbox Boss
Former Bethesda executive Pete Hines recently stirred up a new discussion around subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and their impact on the video game industry. Now, two more industry veterans have chimed in, including former executives at Sony and even Xbox itself.
Shannon Loftis, the former VP of Xbox Games Studios, said (via TweakTown) she agreed with Hines' assessment of subscription services, stating that Game Pass "comes at the expense of retail revenue."
Game Pass can "claim a few victories" in terms of games that might have otherwise "sunk beneath the waves," Loftis said, calling out Human Fall Flat as an example. However, the "majority of game adoption" on Game Pass comes at the cost of revenue from retail, she said, "unless the game is engineered from the ground up for post-release monetization."
Continue Reading at GameSpotDigimon Story: Time Stranger Is A Promising Comeback That I Didn't Want To Stop Playing
One of Digimon's biggest strengths has always been its ability to lean into nostalgia, and that's no different in Digimon Story: Time Stranger, the seventh entry in the franchise's role-playing-focused gaming series. Like past Digimon Story games, Time Stranger puts a big emphasis on narrative, but this time around, it was the creature collecting and turn-based battles that made me want to keep playing long after my three-hour preview session ended.
Instead of children and teens, Time Stranger's protagonist is an adult secret agent investigating Digimon-related phenomena. I started my playthrough right from the beginning of the story, where we see the effects of the Digital World on real-world Earth. You can choose whether the protagonist is male or female, and the other one becomes a character in the story: your partner who communicates with you through a pocket-sized hologram. The intro sets the stage for the clash between two worlds with regular citizens talking about news of unexplained disasters and protestors even accusing authorities of withholding secrets.
But that's all just a backdrop for the meat of what I got to play. The Digimon Story sub-series gets its name from its narrative-driven core which is, typically, complemented by turn-based gameplay. "Battle balance" is one of the main areas that producer Ryosuke Hara focused on, similar to what he did when working on Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. At 36 years old, he was part of the target audience for the series when Digimon Adventure launched in 1999.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has achieved a massive concurrent player count on Steam during its first weekend, just days after its long-awaited release.
According to the SteamDB charts, the highly anticipated indie surpassed 587,150 players on the platform on September 6, beating out its impressive launch day numbers of 534,450 users and its first Friday at 562,814. This peak places the game as the 17th biggest peak ever, putting it amongst the most popular Steam games of all time.
Despite a small dip in players, which we can attribute to it being a Monday, Silksong is still holding strong. As of writing, the metroidvania has over 459,177 players in-game. What's more, the game is currently sitting at number 4 for most-played games on Steam, beating out the likes of Rust, Path of Exile 2, and Helldivers 2, and following behind PUBG: Battlegrounds, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike 2.

2024's Borderlands movie was not a big success at the box office, bringing in just $33 million and garnering a cool critical reception as well. Despite the movie's lack of performance critically and commercially, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford isn't giving up on future transmedia opportunities.
Speaking to The Gamer, Pitchford said he would be open to the idea of another stab at it if the right team of people and ideas come together at the right moment.
"My attitude is, if there are great creators, artists, entertainers that have something to say and they think they can only do it with Borderlands, and they can demonstrate that they can do it, I want to enable that. We don't always succeed, but we've got to keep swinging," he said.
