Overwatch 2 has introduced a new competitive multiplayer mode, Stadium, where you play a best-of-seven series of matches.

In a lot of ways, The Last of Us and its sequel, The Last of Us Part 2, raised the bar for storytelling in games. Set in a grounded version of, essentially, a zombie apocalypse, they relied as much on well-written, emotional interactions between characters as they did on stealth gameplay and fighting horrific monsters, crafting horror stories that are hard to forget.

And the worlds, characters, and stories that developers create in RPGs have been turned into movie an

After a brief tease, Star Wars Zero Company was officially unveiled and fans of the IP got a closer look at its XCOM-inspired action.

Spoilers: The Switch 2 will be more powerful than Switch.
