Price increases to V-Bucks, internal layoffs at Epic, and reports of unmet financial expectations and projections appear to paint a rather volatile picture for Fortnite.

Nevertheless, recent news does have industry experts questioning whether the battle royale game has the legs to continue as a top dog in the online multiplayer space. Here's what you need to know about whether Fortnite is shutting down, based on up-to-date information.

     Genshin Impact codes for September 2024 and how to redeem codes

September 19, 2024: We've added one code and verified our list of existing codes.

What are the new Genshin Impact codes? Gathering Primogems and Mora in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind. Fortunately, developer HoYoverse occasionally sends out gifts in the form of Genshin redeem codes. Most codes only work for a limited time, so it's best to redeem them as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearing in Hoyoverse special programs: regular video updates detailing future updates to the free PC game. Redeem codes can also drop to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events. You can find all the active Genshin codes for August 2024 below, and we also detail what they get you, how to redeem them, and where you can look for more.

The time is finally right to play ambitious 2024 RPG Dragon's Dogma 2. A bold and distinctive sequel that doesn't shy away from the strangeness of its original vision, DD2 is certainly one of the most interesting big-budget games to launch this year. However, despite plenty of admiration, its PC version has been plagued with issues for months since its launch in March. Now, as Capcom finally delivers the much-needed performance fixes, a Steam sale lets you grab the vast single-player game at a low price.

     Best fighting games on PC 2024

What are the best fighting games on PC? It may be one of the oldest genres in gaming, but it wasn't until unintentional glitches gave birth to combos in Street Fighter 2 that the first boom took hold in arcades during the 90s. During the next few years, other classic fighters would enter this eternal tournament, most notably Mortal Kombat with its motion-capture gore, while both Virtua Fighter and Tekken took the genre into 3D.

Fighting games would grow out of favor in the 2000s, but thanks to the revival of the Street Fighter series, followed by the more recent rise of esports and, to a lesser extent, the global pandemic, we now have access to some of the best PC games. They're infamous for being tough to learn, but with the help of video tutorials, there's never been a better time to get into these highly competitive multiplayer games. So grab the best PC controller, one of the best fight sticks, or whatever control method you desire to use, and practice your favorite character's combos.

     How to heat homes in Frostpunk 2

How do you heat homes in Frostpunk 2? Not having your population freeze to death should be fairly high on your list of priorities as Steward of a colony. This can be troublesome, however, due to the rather inclement weather outside, so you're going to have to find a way to heat those homes sufficiently and consistently enough if you want to thrive in the cold.

There are many things you'll have to get your head around in Frostpunk 2, with FP2 Heatstamps vital to expansion, FP2 Frostland Teams essential for exploration, and having to balance FP2 trust so your populace doesn't mutiny. One of the most basic but most important things you'll have to manage is warmth, though, so here's how to heat homes in Frostpunk 2.

     All Age of Empires 2 cheats

What are the Age of Empires 2 cheats? Cheating in AoE 2 - now the AoE 2 Definitive Edition - has always been less about gaming the system than it has been about letting loose and having some fun. While you can spawn in all the resources you could ever dream of, AoE 2 has some wonderful cheats that can spawn whacky units, like a Shelby Cobra or Alfred the Alpaca.

As one of the best RTS games of all time, Age of Empires 2 is a masterclass in resource management and real-time tactics, making for intense games that can span hours. Sometimes, though, you need to accelerate your game due to time constraints, or you get to the point where you just want to get wild with it. Fortunately, the complete list of Age of Empires 2 cheats below comes packed with everything you need - whether you're playing the 1999 classic or the updated Definitive Edition of the game.

     The Witcher Remake release date estimate and latest news

When is The Witcher Remake release date? Given that this remake of the classic PC RPG game has only recently been announced, it's far too early to tell when exactly you can play it. However, some of you may want to know more about the ambitious remake of the first Witcher adventure and if it's the best place to hop into the series.

The original was far from the best PC game ever on release, but it was a fan favorite, so perhaps a remake with more polish will put it over that threshold. While the original RPG game was made by CD Projekt Red using BioWare's Aurora Engine, The Witcher Remake is instead "being rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5" by Fool's Theory. The Polish development studio also assists Larian with 'gameplay and tools programming support' for Baldur's Gate 3 and previously assisted People Can Fly with 'level design, meshing, and program support' for Outriders. Several veteran staff who helped make The Witcher will be part of this project, and CD Projekt Red will provide 'full creative supervision'.

     The best imposter games like Among Us

What are the best games like Among Us? Nothing brings a group of buddies together like trying to figure out which of you is secretly a murderer. Social deduction games or imposter games are all about throwing a hidden baddie into a group of people and watching the social carnage play out as everyone becomes suspicious of one another.

As a traitor, your job is not only to commit horrible crimes while nobody is looking but also to manipulate your friends into blaming each other for your nefarious deeds. You'll need to lie convincingly and think ahead to conjure up alibis and a plan of attack to be the last one standing in games like Among Us. These multiplayer games that hinge on social interaction can be great fun when played with friends and strangers, and getting the edge over someone on charm alone can be amazing.

     Best laptop games to play in 2024

What are the best laptop games? PC gaming isn't always done at a desk, reclining languorously on an ergonomic leather throne, gazing upon a gaming monitor the size of your front window as hundreds of snazzy LEDs light up your peripheral vision. As anyone who has attended a LAN can attest, hauling your heavy box of tricks around is not for the faint of heart (or arm, or back) and so you might be feeling resigned to taking a break from gaming in the event life takes you on a trip away from home.

Don't do that. Never stop gaming. Take your laptop with you and play games on the train. Play games on the beach. Play games in the laundry cupboard as you hide from your relatives. We'll guide you through which low spec games for laptops you will be able to run, and which won't cause you endless frustration trying to control them with a trackpad. You don't need the best gaming laptop to enjoy this selection of the best PC games that are ideal for gaming on the go.

     24 of the best horror games to play right now

What are the best horror games on PC? Scary games tend to turn traditional action concepts on their heads, forcing you to run and hide from your enemies. They leave you feeling vulnerable rather than empowered, and more than most, they are the gaming experiences that haunt you long after you play.

Of course, there is much more to the best horror games than jump scares and gore. So while we have included a few obvious picks like some of the best PC games, Outlast and Amnesia, you can also expect to find games that use different tactics to raise your heartbeat and get your palms sweating, whether that's a dread-inducing atmosphere and careful pacing, or unpredictable multiplayer antics like you'll find in Phasmophobia.

     Saber CEO seemingly confirms controversial Space Marine 2 post is real

Earlier this week, PCGamesN reported on a post, left in response to a video by YouTuber 'Asmongold' about Space Marine 2, that was seemingly written by Saber CEO Matthew Karch. The post, written by an account with the name '@MatthewKarch,' and using a photograph of the Saber boss, describes frustrations with videogames that make "overblown attempts at messaging or imposing morals on gamers." PCGamesN contacted Saber to obtain confirmation whether the post was authentically written by Karch. The company refused to comment. Now, a LinkedIn account, also seemingly belonging to Karch, shares a comment that endorses the original YouTube post.

     Palworld dev responds to Nintendo and Pokemon infringement lawsuit

One of Steam's most successful games is under fire as Palworld faces a new lawsuit filed by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company. The survival game rocketed to the top of the Steam charts in January, and was quickly given the moniker of 'Pokemon with guns' due to its cast of adorable animal companions. However, it has also faced questions about numerous design similarities to existing creatures from the Pokemon series, and now Palworld developer Pocketpair is facing legal action from Nintendo itself.

     The best JRPGs on PC 2024

What are the best JRPGs? This genre is, nowadays, at least, subtly different from Western RPGs, and while the genre as a whole has evolved since the early days, it tends to keep the emphasis on its two key tropes: long stories with memorable characters, and lots of grinding.

Some of the newer games on this list abandon traditional fantasy in favor of a more realistic setting. However, the classic style, at least when we think of JRPGs, conjures up images of mages, ferocious monsters, and a top-down perspective. Either way, these JRPGs bring a different flavor than what you can expect from the best RPGs in the West and could be considered some of the best PC games to fans of the genre.

The mad lads at Square Enix have released a demo for their remake of 90s RPG Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge Of The Seven, in which you play a whole dynasty of customisable protagonists fighting vengeful ancient heroes. It's a turn-based battler with an empire-building component in which you play as several emperors in succession, passing on abilities and knowledge to your heir. In what I consider to be a poetic complimentary flourish, you can also pass on save data from the demo to the full game. Look, this is what counts as "poetic" just before lunch on a Thursday.

The arcade racing game came out yesterday and features online multiplayer, so you can break someone else's bones too. Let's see it in action.

Lethal Company was one of last year's surprise horror hits. It was a brilliant dystopian scavenging sim in which you searched cellars for bolts while avoiding the attentions of creatures that hate being looked at, or which only move when they're not being looked at, or which look like your friends, from a distance. The developer's next game, Welcome To The Dark Place, is more about hearing. It's an "open-world, auditory text-based adventure" which mostly takes place in pitch blackness.
