AI is already being used by some companies in the production of video games, but now there's an AI that may be able to help people play games. Google is currently testing AI that it says can process the information on screen in real-time and offer advice to players about how to proceed.

Google revealed this information while touting the benefits of its Gemini 2.0 AI model. AI agents created by Gemini 2.0 are using Supercell games like Clash of Clans and Hay Day to test the technology's ability to learn and decipher the "rules and challenges across a diverse range of games." The idea is that these agents can engage players in conversation with hints and strategies, in addition to using Google Search to look up any relevant info.

Setting aside the matter of whether this actually works, the real question is whether an AI game buddy is something that players really want or need. Adding AI in this fashion may be more distracting than helpful, especially if it breaks the narrative flow of a game. Additionally, the titles cited as test subjects are fairly simple compared to AAA console and computer games. Even if this new AI works as intended, it may be years away from being useful with more-complex titles.

Microsoft has announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream some games they own on Xbox consoles as part of a pilot program, with the expectation for the feature to roll out for everyone in 2025. In a blog post, Microsoft said Xbox Insiders who are in the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha rings can test out this feature right now. The Xbox Insider program is free and open to everyone.

In November, Microsoft announced that Game Pass Ultimate members could stream select non-Game Pass games they own on a smartphone, PC, or tablet in 28 supported countries. Now, however, this is being extended to consoles.

See Xbox Cloud Gaming bundle at Amazon

This new feature is called "Stream your own game," and it allows players to stream games they own that are outside of the Game Pass catalog--the list of supported titles can be seen here. It includes games like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and NBA 2K25.

Path of Exile 2's massive early-access launch came with some unforeseen consequences, as developer Grinding Gear Games is now struggling to keep up with player-support requests.

The dark fantasy ARPG's launch proved to be huge. Grinding Gear Games confirmed it sold more than 1 million early-access keys across PC and consoles, and Path of Exile 2 peaked at over 570,000 concurrent players on Steam shortly after its release on December 6. It has remained one of the top-played and top-selling games on the platform since release.

Unfortunately for Grinding Gear Games, the huge influx of players is wreaking havoc on the studio's support team. As detailed in a forum post, Grinding Gear Games said it is now dealing with an "enormous" amount of support tickets from players that are taking much longer to process than usual. Whereas the developer's support team would usually respond within the same day, or sometimes even within the same hour, it currently can't keep up.

Though Metaphor: ReFantazio is the former Persona team's first foray into high fantasy, it might also be the most grounded and deeply human game they've ever created. By weaving magical elements with universal topics--such as prejudice, poverty, grief, cycles of violence, anxiety, and the role religion and politics can play in both oppressing and empowering the people--Metaphor is able to examine humanity with some distance and through a unique lens. It poses countless questions to its players, all while admitting the answers might not be simple or absolute. And yet, it places special emphasis on one question in particular: Does fiction have the power to shape our world?

By the time the game comes to a close, the answer is a resounding yes. Metaphor: ReFantazio is a beautiful exploration into how fantasy is a vessel for ideas and humanity even in the darkest of times. It understands the impact that art and the ideas transferred through it have on society, and asks us to both believe in and scrutinize the media we consume.

The game's cast of characters--from bubbly, blonde pop star Junah and the wisened ninja Heismay, to the disgraced-yet-beloved Louis--are all well-designed, well-voiced, and utterly engaging, making them instantly appealing (or detestable) to players. Each offers their own exploration into the various aforementioned themes, weaving stories that are equal parts heart-wrenching and heartwarming. This depth is also afforded to the game's numerous side characters, which comprise the greatest and most fully-realized roster of social links in an Atlus game thus far.

The Mercenary is one of the new classes in Path of Exile 2 but it's already become a fan-favorite. Mercenaries are another ranged class, but they have the ability to hit much harder than the standard Ranger. With the right gear, skills, and gameplay loop, enemies and bosses become trivial to the Mercenary.

However, to get to that point, you need a proper build guide for the Mercenary in Path of Exile 2. Fortunately, we have a complete build guide below, including the best skills, Support and Spirit Gems, and Ascendancy to use for the Mercenary.

Mercenary Overview in Path of Exile 2

As we said before, the Mercenary is a ranged class in Path of Exile 2 but utilizes a different skillset compared to the Ranger. Instead of a bow and arrow, you use a crossbow in the primary slot, which is what most of your top skills will be based around.

Even a decade after its release, Alien: Isolation remains a standout experience.

It's a monumental example of adaptation in video games, thanks to the fact that developer Creative Assembly was packed with fans of Ridley Scott's 1979 film, Alien, and an incredibly tight, detailed focus on the fidelity of the movie's setting. It also set a bar in horror game design, with the alien operating on a set of reactive artificial intelligence rules that made it terrifyingly unpredictable and unstoppably lethal.

It also stands apart from other games based on the Alien franchise, which tend to ignore Scott's original film in favor of iterations on Aliens, James Cameron's sequel, which moves away from straight horror to feature more action--and a bunch of well-outfitted, smack-talking Marines. Creative Assembly instead pitched an Alien game, not an Aliens game, one that would focus on making the creature feel like an unstoppable, unknowable predator instead of a horde of animals players would mow down with pulse rifles.

Though distributed by Limited Run, this edition of the game was designed by Sega; it's not part of Limited Run's official collection.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2's latest update officially added a new Operation and enemy type, but it appears another, unfinished feature, the Research Centre, also made its way into developer Saber Interactive's grimdark shooter.

As spotted on Reddit, players have discovered a new Thousand Sons emblem in the game's Heraldry Editor, which itself states it can be unlocked by completing challenges in the Research Centre. With the press of a button, players can then directly jump to the Research Centre UI screen.

I don't think we are meant to see these just yet...
byu/MrBossman4411 inSpacemarine

What exactly this unannounced feature entails is still under wraps, but it appears that players will be able to unlock models for various Space Marine 2 factions--the Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Tyranids, and Thousand Sons--with a new form of currency. Unlocking the models appears to then grant other cosmetic rewards, like the currently unlockable Thousand Sons emblem. It's also possible players will be able to inspect the models in greater detail, with them serving as a new form of collectable.

At long last, it's time to take down Diablo in Diablo Immortal. The story threads of Blizzard's mobile ARPG have been building to this moment since the game's launch in 2022, and it all will culminate not only in the game's largest new zone to date, but also its biggest boss battle yet--against none other than the Lord of Terror himself.

Yes, Diablo is finally at full strength in the Shattered Sanctuary update, and it will be up to players, armed with the angelic blade El'druin, to put an end to his world-altering efforts. To the far north of Sanctuary at World's Crown, Diablo has unleashed the power of the Worldstone Shard in his possession and started Sanctuary's unmaking. After battling Diablo's armies through an increasingly surreal hellscape, players will confront "Big Red" himself for the first time since the end of Diablo 3's story 12 years ago.

GameSpot chatted with Diablo Immortal lead content designer Scott Burges and senior narrative designer Ryan Quinn ahead of the Diablo's return in the December 13 update to learn more about how Blizzard approached bringing back the iconic villain and where the game's story will go next.

One of US President-elect Donald Trump's biggest talking points this election season has been around the subject of tariffs. Specifically, Trump has discussed tariff rates of 60% or more on products imported from China. Considering China is where video game consoles, accessories, and other video game and technology products are produced (at least in part--but these days, to a lesser degree), many are wondering how these proposed tariffs could impact the consumer.

In short, people want to know if video game consoles and games are about to get significantly more expensive, as some have predicted. This issue is even more top of mind considering the Switch 2 is expected to launch in 2025, with Rockstar's massively anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI also lined up for release next year.

There are no definitive answers as of yet. Some economists believe 60% tariffs are impossible. And Trump may not go forward with his plans as he's described them after he takes office in January, or at all. We spoke with analysts and collated other quotes and analysis about the potential impact of tariffs on video games to help paint a clearer picture of the situation in these early days.

Earlier this month, Epic Games announced that Fortnite was finally getting an official first-person mode in Fortnite Ballistic. The early-access launch for Fortnite Ballistic arrived this morning, but it almost immediately ran into matchmaking problems, possibly due to demand.

We are working to resolve matchmaking errors for Ballistic and will provide an update when this is resolved. pic.twitter.com/o8bvA6PuGd

— Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) December 11, 2024

When Fortnite Ballistic is working again, players will be able to dive into 5v5 battles featuring teams split between attackers and defenders. The attackers are tasked with setting off a Rift Point Device bomb, which the defenders have to disarm by any means necessary. If the bomb goes off, the attacking team wins. And in this mode, there are no respawns. Players who get killed will shatter into little pieces until the next round starts. Each round can also end before the bomb is neutralized or detonated if an entire team is wiped out. Players will swap sides after six rounds, and the first team to win seven rounds takes the match. Ranked and unranked play options are available.

For now, Skyline 10 is the only available map in Fortnite Ballistic, with more to come in the future. Pickaxes, contrails, instruments, vehicles, and jam tracks are not supported in this mode. However, players can utilize proximity mines, bubble shields, recon grenades, frag grenades, and impulse grenades.

In 2022, Jim Carrey announced his retirement following his return as Doctor Ivo Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. At the time, Carrey left open the remote possibility that the right script could get him back, but he said, "I have enough. I've done enough. I am enough." Carrey broke his retirement for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and it wasn't because of the script. Instead, Carrey had a more relatable reason to go back to work.

"I came back to this universe because first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch," Carrey told AP Entertainment. "And... I bought a lot of stuff and I needed the money, frankly."

Jim Carrey explains his return to playing Dr. Robotnik in "Sonic the Hedgehog 3": "I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly." pic.twitter.com/pIFJPuAyRM

— AP Entertainment (@APEntertainment) December 10, 2024

That's a refreshingly honest answer from the actor, who has a dual role in the sequel as Dr. Robotnik's dad, Professor Gerald Robotnik. The elder Robotnick also has a direct link to Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves). Since 2016, the only movies that Carrey has been in are the three Sonic films. Prior to this franchise, Carrey resisted offers to return for sequels to most for his movies, although he did appear in an Ace Ventura sequel and Dumb and Dumber To. The producers behind Sonic the Hedgehog also indicated that they would not have recast Robotnik if Carrey had declined to return.

Actor Rob Wiethoff famously portrayed John Marston in Rockstar's acclaimed 2010 Red Dead Redemption, and now he's starting a new project that is completely different and unexpected. Wiethoff, 48, has launched an OnlyFans, but it's not that kind of OnlyFans. After fans discovered he had an OnlyFans set up, Wietoff released a video responding to what he described as "panic" surrounding this.

"I have an OnlyFans page. I do," Wietoff told his 200,000 followers on Instagram in a video address. It costs $5/month to subscribe. Wiethoff's OnlyFans account will be focused on his own personal health journey as he looks to get lean and ripped.

"There will be nothing but me trying to get in shape. If you want to be part of that, you are welcome to join," he said. "I know what OnlyFans is. Not everything on there has to be that kind of content. That is not what my content is going to be. If you want to get ripped with an old-timer, sign up; that's it."

The Game Awards kick off tomorrow night, and according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, people tuning in can brace themselves for at least two "holy sh*t" moments during the show. Appearing on Kinda Funny Games Daily, Schreier was asked by host Tim Gettys about the possibility of big announcements, to which he hinted at two massive games being shown off.

"There are at least two things that will make you guys react [and] say 'holy sh*it, I can’t believe it’s here,'" Schreier said (via VGC).

The Game Awards livestream will begin at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET on December 12, and so far, Gearbox Software boss Randy Pitchford has confirmed that a new trailer for Borderlands 4 will be revealed. This will be the first look at the gameplay for the looter-shooter, and it'll also feature an original CG-animated sequence.

Pokemon and Aardman are teaming up for... something. The two companies announced a partnership today, saying whatever they're making together is coming in 2027.

A teaser image showed a Poke Ball forming with Aardman's trademark clay for its claymation animation style (and no, there is no clay shortage). One guess here would be that Aardman is producing a Pokemon TV show or movie with its trademark animation style, but that's just speculation.

In a statement, Aardman said it's working with The Pokemon Company on a "special project coming to audiences in 2027." This project, whatever it is, will retain Aardman's trademark style in the Pokemon universe with "brand-new adventures."
