At WWDC 2025 on Monday, Apple announced Games, a streamlined app store and unified library for gamers using multiple Apple devices -- showing a greater commitment to the video game industry than ever before. The App Store won't be rendered useless, since you'll still need to access it for nongaming app downloads. But the old Game Center app, which provided leaderboards and social features to mobile gamers (and has long been relegated to a deep, dark corner of the iPhone's Settings menus), will

Game Developers Fear Anti-Trans Measures Could Hit Their Industry Next

Ashley Poprik has never been the model for a video game character. As a writer on projects like Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, they work on games, not as characters within them. In 2023, however, a cabal of angry gamers was convinced otherwise. They were furious over how Spider-Man 2’s Mary Jane looked; more specifically, they complained, she simply wasn’t hot enough. The problem, these gamers falsely claimed, was that Poprik—then a writing intern with no ability to change a charac

Since 2006, PlayStation has prided itself on big, cinematic first-party titles that justify your console purchase, and when they hit, they hit. Over the years, several internal studios have delivered blockbuster franchises like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and The Last of Us. But spare a thought for the ones that didn’t make the cut: for whatever reason, they just didn’t resonate or hit desired benchmarks, and now remain as odd one-offs with a niche fanbase that loves it for what it was and

Android emulation geeks are abuzz with excitement over aPS3e, the first native PS3 emulator for Android phones. Sure, most of the code appears to be cobbled together from open-source PS3 emulation projects like RPCS3, Vita3K, and Termux (probably breaking their licenses), but the fact that it’s working at all is a big step forward.
