How has the team approached bringing this next chapter of the Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate universe to XBOX Players?

JVN: Right at the start of development, we made the decision to bring this to consoles, and we’re doing everything in studio with that in mind from day one. We’ve been designing the entire UI system with console in mind, and throughout the whole process, making sure that it feels natural whilst still feeling at home on a PC. The team are basically switching between controller and keyboard and mouse controls constantly, making sure that the experience feels great for both. It looks great on XBOX, we really can’t wait for players to experience this! The team at Complex Games will return with mor

Why Is The Price Of PlayStation Plus Going Up?

According to the official Twitter account, the rising PlayStation Plus prices are simply down to “ongoing market conditions” in the world of video games. When the prices of hardware in its consoles, handhelds, and peripherals it was easy enough to connect the dots and realise that Sony was suffering from the rising prices of components, just like Xbox and Nintendo — two other platform holders who have increased their prices in recent months. Vital things like RAM, SSDs, and more are being bought up in bulk by corporations, leaving consumer-grade products to suffer. Instead of tanking these cos

I wasn't just interested in the Xbox and mobile implementations of AI; I asked about opinions on literally any form of AI assistance in gaming, whether it be built-in helpers queried with voice or text, AI monitors that s

Does AI have a place in gaming? I asked our readers how they think it can be used properly.
Is the Steam Controller any good?

Image 1 of 2 My initial hands-on impressions of the Steam Controller were good, as it sits comfortably in my hands with a familiar weight of 0.64 lbs (292 g). I usually play with Microsoft's official Xbox controllers that were bundled with my Series X|S consoles, each weighing 0.63 lbs (287 g) with AA batteries or 0.52 lbs (240 g) without them if I'm using a permanently connected USB-C cable. Despite the placement of the prominent touchpads, my palms don't accidentally graze them when I use the analog sticks or face buttons. It's admittedly something I was concerned about when I first saw this

I tested Valve's new Steam Controller for a week, and only one flaw keeps it from total perfection
