With some of the luckier gamers already receiving their Steam Deck from Valve, many have started trying out different games on the new handheld platform, but it seems like Sony‘s recent purchase Bungie isn’t too fond of the idea. Over on the game’s official help page, the developer explained that Destiny 2 is not supported on the Steam Deck’s Linux-based SteamOS, and it most likely never will given what the company said next. “Players who attempt to launch Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck through SteamOS or Proton will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time,” it stated. “Players who attempt to bypass Destiny 2 incompatibility will be met with a game ban.” Bungie hasn’t explained why it has taken such a hostile approach to the game being pl...

Following the launch of Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West, the next big title everyone is looking forward to is no doubt God of War: Ragnarok, and now a potential release window for the highly anticipated sequel has leaked. According to new reports, a video game retailer in Chile has accidentally listed the game on its website with a release window expected for June of this year, contrary to what many insiders believed would be a holiday season launch at the end of the year. Of course, while various games over the year had experienced similar leaks from other retailers that ended up to be accurate, there’s an equal chance the Chilean store had simply made a mistake, so fans should still take this news with a grain of salt. As usual, Sony and PlayStation have yet to confi...

Following in the footsteps of other legendary horror and grimdark video games such as Resident Evil and Dark Souls, Behaviour Interactive‘s asymmetric survival title Dead by Daylight is now also getting its very own board game. The new tabletop experience will be developed in partnership with Level 99, a company focusing on creating board games for video game fans. Much like the digital experience itself, the Dead by Daylight: The Board Game will feature one player taking on the role as the Killer while four other friends will become hunted Survivors, trying to escape from death while repairing generators on the map in order to escape. There’ll be several maps to play on, and you’ll also collect bonuses on the way to help you evade the Killer more effectively. “I am probably...

Ahead of Ghostwire: Tokyo‘s release later this month, Bethesda and Tango Gameworks have now released a free-to-play Prelude that will set up the upcoming game. Now available, the short game will center around lead character KK, a detective investigating a series of strange events half a year before the time of the actual game itself. The developer hopes to give players a better understanding of who KK is and why he does what he does, which it says will help when you’re playing the full Ghostwire: Tokyo. “There’s a different, kind of more relaxed atmosphere in the visual novel,” scenario writer Takahiro Kaji said in a Sony PlayStation blog post. “KK is a veteran, accustomed to the situation, working within his realm of expertise and there’s good teamwork with Rinko’s group. By und...

A Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG player has just taken to Twitter to share a quick fix for bent trading cards. Trading card game players who live in humid or dry areas may notice the bending of their cards in different directions if their collection is not stored in an airtight container. While this technique does not fix creased cards, it does restore warped cards back to their original flat form. Tetora instructs TCG players with bent cards to first place a soaked tissue or sponge in a small jar then place that jar into a Tupperware container. Next, while making sure you do not get the cards wet, place the cards in the same container, and close the lid. After a day or two, the cards will be restored. For cards that are inversely bent, simply replace the wet paper with a desiccant bag. 山反りのカードを私は...

If you’re a fan of CD Projekt Red‘s 2015 hit The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt but have always wondered how the game would play in a first-person mode, you’re now in luck. Seven years after the game first launched, a modder by the username “crthdr” has now created a mod for the PC version of the game that’ll allow players to experience the game in first person, bringing a whole new level of immersion to Geralt’s monster-slaying adventures. As you’ll see in the video above — uploaded by YouTuber brandonzxcv — the Gervant First Person mod lets you experience almost everything in the game in the new perspective, including fighting monsters, riding your horse, and even paddling on a boat. Cut scenes will still be in third-person, however, and according to the creator the mod might not work as well...
