Tencent Games and developer Grey State Studio aren't sending players to Hell in their upcoming game, Rules of Engagement: The Grey State. But this free-to-play tactical-horror action-RPG shooter might be Hell-adjacent, thanks to a nightmarish realm filled with monsters and other unspeakable creatures.

The Grey State is the name of an unstable dimension that's too dangerous for humanity, but it also contains alien artifacts that are invaluable. To survive in this hellscape, players assume the role of Striders who remotely pilot their bio-engineered shells from the comfort of their own dimension. Grey State Studios describes The Grey State as a "graveyard of nightmares" and a "Horrorverse" that includes Lovecraftian creatures, as well as monsters inspired by films, books, and even creepypasta online tales.

The gameplay is a PvEvP loop that gives players only a limited time to drop into The Grey State. Striders will have to scavenge for gear inside the nightmarish dimension and ultimately choose between accepting an early extraction for limited rewards or taking a shot at even bigger profits if they can beat their fellow players to an alien artifact.

Catch Me If You Can was adapted from the book co-written by Frank Abagnale Jr., a real-life conman, and author Stan Redding. DiCaprio plays Abagnale in the film, who infamously passed himself off as a Pan American airline pilot, doctor, and several other highly trained professions at a young age. Abagnale's schemes would eventually attract the attention of the FBI, with one dogged agent--played by Hanks--chasing him from state to state. If you're interested in checking out the original book, you can grab the Catch me If You Can paperback edition for $10 at Amazon (was $19), or the Audible audiobook version for $15.75 (was $18).

The audiobook is also included at no extra charge as part of the Audible Premium Plus streaming library, which you can access for just $1/month three months if you sign up for the service before December 16. Along with the library of content, you also get one Audible credit each month that lets you buy any audiobook on Amazon, and they're yours to keep forever, even if you cancel. Basically, the deal gives you three audiobooks over a few months for just $3.

Maybe you've noticed, but everywhere you look now, skating is back.

Though skateboarding games once dominated the gaming scene in the 2000s, the well appeared to all but dry up as the ambitions of the games industry evolved through the decades. Recently, however, there's been a resurgence of skating games, and an audience made up of both oldheads and fresh-faced players alike has been showing up for them. It feels safe to say there's still an appetite for these kinds of titles. With the early-access release of EA's Skate--a revival of a series that once took up a lot of space in this industry--as well as the acclaimed releases of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remakes, the once-dying genre seems primed for a comeback.

I first clocked this resurgence a while ago while playing an entirely different kind of skate game: a remarkably chill longboarding game called Driftwood. In Driftwood, you take on the role of a pretty cool sloth who carves and bombs--in skating parlance, to "bomb" means to ride down a huge hill--picturesque mountainsides. As a guy who longboarded back in high school and primarily cruised through the city, Driftwood brought me back to what first turned me onto skating--the rush of wind in my admittedly unprotected hair as I barreled down derelict roads and hills, and the satisfying (not to mention casual) coolness I'd feel swerving through throngs of walkers and traffic. It feels suiting, then, that the game that reminded me why I loved skating also opened my eyes to just how many skating games had emerged in the past few years.

Fortnite fans can get four of the official Lego sets based on the game for all-time low prices at Amazon. Most notably, the 691-piece Supply Llama model is on sale for only $26 (was $40). For an even cheaper Fortnite Lego set, check out the 193-piece Durrr Burger for only $8.79 (was $15). The Durrr Burger is one of two Fortnite sets from last year's launch lineup that Lego is retiring soon. The other one is Peely Bone, which is selling for full price at the moment. The other two Fortnite Lego deals are on playsets that launched in June. The 546-piece Durrr Burger Restaurant is down to only $52 (was $65), while the 250-piece Peely and Sparkplug's Camp is up for grabs for $18.39 (was $23.

Since the Battle Bus retails for $100, you're essentially paying $10 for the Supply Llama.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is still seven months away from release, but there are already rumors that Rockstar Games has recruited Drake and DJ Khaled to lend their songs to the game and potentially have their own in-game radio stations as well. Now, rapper Skrilla says that his viral hit "Doot Doot (6 7)" is also going to be in GTA 6.

Skrilla made the claim during his recent appearance on Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast. "I'm waiting for GTA 6 to come out… '6 7' is on there, too," said Skrilla. He later added, "I'm going to be my own person on there, playing my own music."

The Grand Theft Auto games have traditionally had large soundtracks and multiple radio stations. Grand Theft Auto 5 alone had 22 radio stations, including a few hosted by music artists. That game was also likely the final appearance for DJ Lazlow, who was voiced by Lazlow Jones in every game from Grand Theft Auto 3 through 5. Jones quit Rockstar in 2020 and recently cast doubt on any chance of returning.

Electronic Arts has not announced any official sales data for Battlefield 6, but one report from an analyst claims the game may have approached a Call of Duty-sized launch with 6.5 million copies sold in its first few days.

Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics wrote that the game reached those sales numbers across all platforms, citing its own internal estimates. This would work to more than $350 million in gross revenue, according to Elliott.

"It's closer to Call of Duty-tier numbers than any of EA's premium-shooter efforts so far. But the question now is whether or not EA can foster this successful launch into a platform that stands the test of time," Elliott said.

When it comes to games about human kids partnering with cute critters that can evolve into powerful monsters, I've always been a bigger fan of Digimon than Pokemon. But most of that preference comes down to what's outside the video games: Digimon has more interesting monster designs, for example, and a far superior anime. Pokemon has always had the video games I prefer to play, usually having more engaging gameplay loops and satisfying battles.

Digimon's latest foray, however, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, has finally shifted the needle for me. While its story and characters don't rise to the heights achieved in the best moments of the Digimon anime, Time Stranger is a consistently fun turn-based RPG with great voice acting and rewarding, strategic team-building.

Time Stranger has a lot of callbacks to both seasons of Digimon Adventure.

In Time Stranger, you play as an agent of a secret organization that works in the shadows of Tokyo to find, study, and confront urban legends, many of which turn out to be a strange lifeform the higher-ups have nicknamed Digimon. During your latest mission, you witness the emergence of a terrifying behemoth that destroys the city and begins spreading devastation across Japan.

It's the Halloween season in Call of Duty and Fortnite, and naturally, that means familiar faces are turning up in each game like they do every spooky season. In a rare move, there's one villainous slasher who is actually making his debut in both games this October: Jason Voorhees.

As the star of Friday the 13th, Jason is currently "between jobs," you could say, after Friday the 13th: The Game was forced to end sooner than players or creators expected due to a legal snafu some years back. Fans are clamoring for a new game starring Jason, and one is coming, Horror Inc. executive vice president Robbie Barsamian told GameSpot. Though the team doesn't have many specifics to share on that project as of now, I caught up with Barsamian to discuss the team's famous monster and his guest spots in other games this month.

With Fortnite's lighter tone and Call of Duty's emphasis on more mature themes, it's as though Jason were reimagined twice, with the towering killer giving fans two different sides of himself--and it's all wrapped up in the new Jason design helmed by Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame.

At Tokyo Game Show last month, Capcom announced a new approach to both the Capcom Cup and Street Fighter League esports tournaments with a new pay-per-view model. After a furious response to the move by the fighting game community, Capcom now says it will be taking the change into further consideration.

Per VGC, a new statement from Capcom regarding the events says that the company is "reviewing pricing and related details," with "updated information regarding the PPV broadcast, including final pricing and additional context" set to be shared "next month."

Starting October 10th at 2:00 AM PDT, fans can enter the lottery to purchase tickets to attend CAPCOM CUP 12 and the Street Fighter League: World Championship 2025 in person, both taking place at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.

The Tokyo Game Show announcement laid out Capcom's plans for the new PPV model, setting the price for both the Capcom Cup finals livestream on March 14, as well as the Street Fighter League finals the next day, at 4,000 yen each--or roughly $27 a pop. The two streams could also be bundled together at a reduced price of 6,000 yen, or approximately $40. Previous Capcom Cup and Street Fighter League events were broadcast for free via the Capcom Fighters Twitch and YouTube channels, while special event-themed cosmetic items were also offered via the in-game store.

Summer Game Fest 2026 has been announced, and there is one big change that we know about so far. The event takes place on Friday, June 5 in Los Angeles, and the show is moving to the Dolby Theatre.

The 2025 event, for comparison, was held at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California. The Dolby Theatre opened in Hollywood in 2001 and hosts the Oscars each year. It was previously known as the Kodak Theatre.

Geoff Keighley once again returns to produce Summer Game Fest 2026. Keighley runs SGF and The Game Awards, and Split Fiction writer-director Josef Fares once declared during TGA, "F**k the Oscars," a statement that carries a bit more resonance now with SGF changing venues to where the Oscars are held.

The Japanese government has formally requested that OpenAI avoid infringing on Japanese intellectual property, particularly in response to its video-generating tool, Sora 2.

At a Cabinet Office press conference, Minister of State for IP and AI Strategy Minoru Kiuchi emphasized that anime and manga are "irreplaceable treasures" representing Japan’s cultural pride (via IGN). The government urged OpenAI to respect Japanese copyrights and avoid misuse of its technology. Digital Minister Masaaki Taira echoed this sentiment, suggesting that if OpenAI doesn’t voluntarily comply, Japan could invoke provisions under the AI Promotion Act--legislation that promotes AI development while also addressing risks such as copyright violations.

Launched on October 1, Sora 2 can create 20-second HD videos with sound, and users quickly began using it to generate content featuring copyrighted characters from popular anime and game franchises like One Piece, Demon Slayer, Pokemon, and Mario. The widespread sharing of these videos on social media has alarmed Japanese authorities and creatives, prompting the government's Cabinet Office to issue the official request via its Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters.

Developer Embark Studios has announced that the upcoming extraction shooter Arc Raiders is getting a free "server slam" test this weekend on all platforms.

The test runs October 17-19 and during that period, anyone can play the game across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. The developer has conducted multiple closed tests before, but this one is open to everyone and represents the "last big push" before Arc Raiders launches on October 30.

"This is a full-scale server slam so we can hit the ground running at launch! We're opening it up to everyone 16 years old and up to help us stress test our systems, and experience a taste of the Arc Raiders experience!" the developer said.

In 2003, Vince Zampella and his Infinity Ward co-founders unleashed the original Call of Duty after previously shepherding EA's Medal of Honor franchise. The latter never reached the heights of the former, and according to Zampella, Call of Duty would have never come into being if EA hadn't come into conflict with his team.

"The only reason that Call of Duty exists is because EA were dicks," said Zampella during a new interview with GQ. Zampella didn't elaborate on his team's fallout with EA, but they eventually formed a lucrative partnership with Activision, which purchased Infinity Ward. Zampella left Infinity Ward in 2010 and formed Respawn Entertainment before once again partnering with EA. Now, Zampella is overseeing the Battlefront franchise, which continues this month with the arrival of Battlefield 6.

Zampella worked closely with Steven Spielberg on the Metal of Honor games, and Spielberg reportedly wanted to direct a Call of Duty movie years later. During the GQ interview, Zampella noted that Ridley Scott was also interested in bringing Call of Duty to the big screen.

There’s nothing better than playing games together with a group of friends across multiple platforms, but if you’re not squadding up in Battlefield 6, the idea of cross-play might send shivers down your spine.

Fortunately for you, Battlefield Studios has given console players the option to switch cross-play off--protecting them from the quick hands of mouse and keyboard players. Here’s everything you need to know.

How to turn off cross-play in Battlefield 6

Turning cross-play off in Battlefield 6 is really simple, and it’ll take you less than 30 seconds. All you need to do is head to the game’s settings, select System, and then switch the cross-play toggle to off.

By default in Battlefield 6, every class has a starting Training Path that is automatically unlocked and equipped for you. Class Training Paths offer exclusive passive bonuses that go along with your Class Active Ability. The bonuses you receive from these Training Paths can directly affect your playstyle and gameplay on a match-to-match basis. Therefore, how to play all Battlefield 6 classes can differ quite a bit depending on which path you head down.

While the default Training Paths are fairly well-balanced in Battlefield 6, the game does allow you to unlock one new Training Path per class. More often than not, the second Training Path features better passive bonuses that make the class more enjoyable to use overall. However, due to the strange menu navigation that exists in Battlefield 6, you might need some help trying to figure out how to unlock these new Training Paths.

There are several daunting grinds to perform in Battlefield 6 from the moment you launch the game. However, no grind features rewards more sought-after than weapon camos. You can earn several base camos on every weapon in Battlefield 6, and these can be applied to any other weapon you have unlocked. But when it comes to the Mastery Camos, those are exclusive to a specific weapon, meaning you have to unlock the Mastery Camo for every individual weapon in Battlefield 6.

Naturally, players want to earn the Mastery Camo for their favorite weapons, and true completionists will want to unlock the camo for every weapon in the game eventually, just like they'll want to unlock all free skins in Battlefield 6. With how complicated camo-tracking can be in Battlefield 6, though, you might find it difficult even to find where the Mastery Camo can be equipped, let alone how to earn it.

World of Warcraft's next expansion, Midnight, is taking the nuclear option when it comes to eliminating combat add-ons, after years of Blizzard discussing how they posed problems for the health of the game. It's a bold approach, but, unfortunately, one that has been communicated incredibly poorly and seems to be taking unnecessary risks that could potentially make the game worse, not better, in the short term.

Until the recent arrival of Midnight's alpha build, it wasn't exactly clear how far-reaching Blizzard's approach would be. While non-combat add-ons (WoW's version of player-made mods) aren't being touched, it was known some major changes would be coming to how combat add-ons work in Midnight. Those changes would come in conjunction with Blizzard introducing its own version of popular add-on functions, like boss timers and damage meters, alongside improvements to recently implemented features like the cooldown manager and combat assistant. Blizzard also said it's designing combat encounters going forward so that (hopefully) combat add-ons wouldn't be as necessary as before.

That all sounded great on paper. Many assumed some of these changes would come over time, allowing for a period where both add-ons and Blizzard's own UI updates could work in conjunction or until certain parts of the base-game UI meant to replicate add-on functionality was ready. Blizzard has instead opted to rip off the proverbial band-aid.
