One Piece is a series built on lofty promises. Chief among them: that its hallowed treasure, which still has yet to be revealed since the series began 26 years ago, will be worth the journey; that protagonist Monkey D. Luffy will someday fulfill his dream of becoming the king of the pirates; and that its long-running…

     Starfield PC controller support explained

Can you play Starfield with a controller on PC? Although the intergalactic gunplay might be best suited to mouse and keyboard, you might want to enjoy Starfield's rocket-fuelled space travel with a good old fashioned controller. Most PC games these days have native controller support, which is great news for those of us who like to enjoy games from the couch, or want to make use of accessibility features.

     Starfield food explained

What does Starfield food do? You've got to keep your energy up while you're being a big damn hero, but how do you do that in Starfield? Food, of course. One of our favorite pass times is chomping down on anything in our eye line - the fact that Starfield takes so much pride in its recreation of food is music to our ears.

After the Starfield Direct, the excitement for the Starfield release date has almost reached fever-pitch, and rightly so. The space game looks to be more polished than anything else we've seen from Bethesda in the past, and with any luck, it'll be high up on the list of the best PC games come the end of the year.

     Does Starfield have multiplayer co-op?

Can you play Starfield multiplayer in co-op? Understandable for such a large story-driven game, questions have been raised about whether you are able to visit one of the thousand Starfield planets with a human pal, a friend, a trusted confidant, or if you're restricted to the the many, many NPCs.

Starfield is certainly shaping up to be one of the best PC games released this year. As the Starfield release date nears, excitement grows around getting to grips with its gorgeous Starfield cities, thousands of Starfield planets, alien Starfield plants, and a promise that you can become a sandwich bandit. But can you share your life of piracy with someone else in Starfield co-op, or is the thought of multiplayer a load of baloney?

     Nier Automata's 2B gets new costumes for X-rated anime crossover

Nier Automata's 2B remains one of the most distinctive and beloved videogame protagonists ever. In the six years since Yoko Taro's literary RPG first released, it's no surprise that 2B - and the other members of Yorha - have become so popular. Previously, we had confirmation that Goddess of Victory: Nikke, renowned for its - among other things - infamous TV commercial, was introducing 2B as part of a new crossover. Now, we have the first glimpses of the Nier character as she appears in the anime game. The Goddess of Victory: Nikke 2B costumes are here.

     Is Starfield on Game Pass?

Is Starfield coming to Game Pass on day one? Since Microsoft owns Bethesda, this acquisition opens up some interesting possibilities for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Specifically, will Bethesda's upcoming adventure be coming to Game Pass?

While the answer to Starfield being on Game Pass is relatively simple, that isn't the whole story. Perhaps you wish to play the highly anticipated  game early. As the Starfield release date nears, here's everything you need to know about playing it early so you can get to choosing your Starfield background, experience the Starfield story, and maybe romance the Starfield companions you like the most.

     What is the Starfield fps? Frame rate explained

What is the Starfield frame rate? You may have heard that on Xbox consoles, the frame rate for this vast space game will be locked to 30fps. While this fact won't bother most people, you might be concerned if you own a high-end computer with a high refresh rate display. If an option on PC that gives you a higher, consistent fps exists, it's only understandable that you'd wish to know in advance.

With Starfield release date right around the corner, and Starfeld Early Access even closer, it's now or never to consider your rig. After all, Starfield is a massive open-world game, well, more like an open universe, with a rather ambitiously sized galaxy to explore. As such, Bethesda is being open with the Starfield fps on consoles, but what does this mean for the PC version frame rate?

     How to get Starfield houses

Can you buy Starfield houses? To celebrate the upcoming epic space adventure going gold, Bethesda held an AMA on Discord that covered a wide range of topics, from the overall experience to nitty-gritty details about mechanics. One major question concerned the prospect of Starfield houses and the capacity to buy property in the major cities.

Given our ample experience with previous Bethesda games, we can already predict that Starfield houses could have a multitude of uses. You might use your homein Starfield as somewhere to bring companions so that they can take it easy for a spell, or perhaps decorate it with items you can also craft for base building. Either way, there's not long to go until the Starfield release date, so here's everything we know about getting onto the property ladder.

What can be found in Starfield's New Atlantis city? What we already know about the varied planets, creatures, and cities of Starfield has us even more excited about Bethesda's starfaring RPG. We're starting to learn more about who we can interact with and where, and just how these people and places will alter our space exploration experience.

June's Xbox and Bethesda Games showcase gave us a real in-depth gaze at the sheer scale and scope of Starfield, revealing the game would have over 1,000 planets to explore, as well as a number of major Starfield cities, including New Atlantis. we're keen to find out everything we can about the massive space game before the Starfield release date flies into our orbit, so here's what we know so far about New Atlantis.

What can be found in Starfield's Akila city? Akila City represents a much more rugged hub of human activity than you can find in the galaxy's other urban spaces, and is home to one of the most established factions in the Starfield universe.

We've heard that there are going to be four main Starfield cities in the space game, and so far, players have been introduced to three of them: Starfield New Atlantis, the capital city of the United Colonies; Starfield Neon city, the man-made fishing platform city; and the walled municipality of the Freestar Collective, Akila City, which we explore in more detail here, ahead of the Starfield release date.

     Starfield Spacers faction guide

Who are the Starfield Spacers? There's one simple way of answering this question if you're familiar with the Fallout games, and that's by saying they're somewhat akin to bandits in the wasteland. Of course, there's more to it than that when you dive deep, which we shall explain.

Much like Starfield House Varuun, Spacers are another one of the Starfield factions, albeit a 'minor' one. What this means is that while the size of the faction may be big, the Spacers aren't a group you can join as part of the main quest, and there won't be lengthy quests coming from them. As far as we can tell, 'Spacer' may well be short for 'Spacefarer', which refers to a lot of the people you'll encounter in space.

The Street Fighter 6 AKI release date has been confirmed for its next challenger.

     Beyond Good and Evil is finally returning, but not how we expected

Beyond Good and Evil, oh, how we miss you. Originally released back in 2003, the platform game from Ubisoft has long earned its reputation as a cult classic. We miss Jade. We miss Pey'j. Although Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in development, it feels, somehow, further and further away - as Ubisoft prepares a slew of new Assassin's Creed games, and Rainbow Six Siege and The Crew roll on, the return of Beyond Good and Evil becomes an increasingly distant dream. Or so we thought. It might not be the full sequel, but it seems the iconic adventure game is perhaps coming back to us sooner than we expected.

Among the many Starfield planets you can encounter on your journey through the galaxy, one was bound the be home to a psychedelic drug-fueled city of pleasure. That's where Neon city comes in.

     Starfield planets – all known systems, moons, and worlds

What are all of the Starfield planets? Starfield features over 1,000 planets spread across more than 100 star systems. On average, each system will have around ten celestial bodies for you to explore. We know you can build outposts in Starfield, hire characters to staff them, and harvest resources. It's likely that every planet has at least one point of interest worth delving into or valuable materials potentially difficult to find elsewhere.

Not every Starfield planet is going to be loaded with content, and some may not have life on them at all due to their procedurally generated nature. Some are home worlds of the many Starfield factions, where you can visit their main headquarters in Starfield cities like New Atlantis on the planet Jemison. Many other worlds are desolate places ripe for exploration, though you'll have to set out on foot, which is just as well as the sole concern of Constellation, one of the primary groups, is to push the frontiers of human understanding. We've split the many known items into planets and moons and given information on which system you can find them in below.

     Starfield House Varuun religion guide

Who are the Starfield House Varuun? Often mis-referred to as House of Varuun, these religious zealots were revealed for the first time almost two years ago, in a video titled The Settled Systems, featuring design director Emil Pagliarulo. So far, we don't know a whole lot about this religion, but we can piece together enough information to get a general picture.

Firstly, and most importantly, it doesn't seem like House Varuun is one of the main Starfield factions, instead acting as a Starfield religion. The important distinction is that you may not be able to actually join House Varuun like you can Starfield Constellation, for example. With that in mind, here's what you need to know about House Varuun in Starfield.

While the Starfield Game Pass launch coincides with the Starfield release date, we now know that players can acquire "up to five days early access" as a pre-order bonus in special editions of the RPG game. Of course, that means you'll need to splash out more than your subscription charge if you're looking to jet-set across the galaxy as early as possible.

Over the past week, dataminers have been rifling through Baldur's Gate 3's code and have discovered a dragon's hoard of alleged "cut content". It's hard to specify what they've unearthed without accidentally sounding the Major Spoilers trumpet and initiating Armageddon, but the supposed buried offerings include additional areas, swathes of dialogue, storylines, cutscenes, characters, romance opportunities and even deities. Given just how much Larian's gargantuan RPG gives you to play with, I am kind of thankful for a generous amount of stuff being "left out" - certainly, I don't need any more romanceable NPCs, I'm already fending them off with a broomhandle. But the news has gone down badly with a few players, and especially those who feel the game's overall quality takes a dive in acts 2 and 3.

Developers have come to Larian's defence, amongst them David Gaider, former Baldur's Gate 2 and Dragon Age writer, who is nowadays creative director of Summerfall Games, creator of the very earwormy STRAY GODs: The Roleplaying Musical. "Not surprised to hear of the amount of stuff apparently cut from BG3," Gaider wrote on Twix. "BG2 had a mountain of stuff cut over its development, some early and some even after lots of work had gone into it... almost every game does. Every DA game did. Heck, even Stray Gods had some considerable cuts."

This is Holstin, a Polish survival horror experience in which you merrily rove an isolated town that, based on 14 minutes of fumbling around in exactly one very unwelcoming house, already seems a match for Silent Hill in terms of existential squalor.

Officially unveiled at this week's Panic Games Showcase, Arco is a triptych of revenge stories set across the deserts, plains and forests of a fantastical, South American-style landscape. It's a part of the world we don't often get to see in games, and its stunning pixel art (and tiny cute little llamas) instantly caught my eye when I got to play an early mission from it at last week's Gamescom. Made by four developers spread across the globe, the official genres listed on its Steam page describe it as a tactical turn-based action adventure RPG where you guide four separate heroes in their fight against the ominous sounding Red Company. But just saying it's turn-based is doing Arco a disservice, I think, as it's also a little bit real-time, a little bit simultaneous turns, and all pretty brilliant, if you ask me. Here are some very early impressions of it.

     Easily the most imposing and terrifying new enemy introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes in the form of the Gloom Spawn, also known as Gloom Hands. This collection of one-eyed demonic hands sprouting from a puddle of gloom can move incredibly quickly to squeeze the life out of Link whenever he gets close. Tackling them early on likely won't end well, but once you gain the strength and courage to take down a Gloom Spawn (or simply stand on a high ledge where it can't reach) you can obtain some Dark Clumps to cook meals for gloom protection. And if the Gloom Spawn produces a Phantom Ganon miniboss upon defeat, you can beat him for a special gloom-based weapon as well as the Demon King's Bow, which increases in strength depending on the number of Heart Containers you have. As such, it's beneficial to learn all of the different spawning locations of these dangerous enemies so you can reliably obtain their materials. Where to fin...
