In Insomniac’s 2018 Spider-Man game, Peter Parker’s relationship with New York City involved the occasional selfie with a citizen and a lot of palling around with the NYPD. The new Miles Morales game does something different. It foregrounds Miles Morales’ relationship to Harlem and the community he’s a part of…
Welcome to Morning Music, Kotaku’s daily hangout for folks who love video games and the cool-arse sounds they make. Today it’s time to jump through hyperspace with the whiz-bang chiptune-y goodness of the soundtrack to 2012’s strategy roguelike masterpiece FTL: Faster Than Light.
Since it’s nearly impossible to buy the RTX 3090, and the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 are basically unavailable in Australia, there’s no better time for Nvidia to beef out their product stack a little further. Let’s take a look at the RTX 3060 Ti.
If you play video games for a long stretch at a time, it’s probably taken a toll on your body. In Japan, there’s now “gaming chiropractic” to help iron out those aches and stiff joints.
After a battle with Galactus that briefly shut down both Fortnite and Twitch, we have some information about what’s coming in Chapter 2, Season 5. There are some big map changes, along with some new systems and, it seems, characters who do more than just try to kill you.

We put out a simple question: tell us what VR world you’d love to explore, and you could win a HTC Vive Comsos headset. Naturally, you all had some wild ideas.
The latest Nintendo Switch software update, version 11.0.0, makes it much easier to transfer screenshots and gameplay videos to your smartphone or PC. The new methods are miles better than the unintuitive post-to-social-media-then-delete workaround we’ve been forced to use since the console’s launch, or the similarly burdensome “find a microSD…
Fortnite’s Season 4 came to an end today, when Marvel super villain Galactus finally arrived on the battle royale island. As expected, players fought the giant bad guy — and then the event ended on a cliffhanger.
The massive Arecibo Observatory radio telescope, made famous in the James Bond movie GoldenEye and paid homage to in the classic Nintendo 64 game, completely collapsed early Tuesday morning. This breaking news comes just a few weeks after the announcement that the invaluable astronomy tool would be demolished due to…
Red Dead Online’s latest update isn’t much. While Rockstar plans on adding a big new island to GTA Online later this month, complete with a new heist and more, Red Dead Online’s end of the year update is far smaller. And while some small amount of this new update is…
The launch of the next generation of consoles has underscored how precious storage space is. Games are getting bigger, and yet the new Xbox and PlayStation consoles don’t offer a whole lot of room. Most confusing is the PS5’s mysterious allocation of up to a sixth of its supposedly available…
Last year, the unthinkable happened. The One Piece manga was knocked from the top spot for the first time in twelve years. In its place was a new manga sales champion: Demon Slayer. That was no fluke.
Let me be clear: there is one way to play Stealing Santa.
We can all appreciate general system stability improvements that enhance the user’s experience, but tonight’s Nintendo Switch firmware update actually adds some features to the console, like new ways to manage your screenshots.
Ahhh, I really wanted to like this game. But as hard as it tries, and as much fun as it has with the source material, Empire of Sin is a mess of ideas that just isn’t much fun to be around.
The Good Life, the next game from designer Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, has finally found a publisher in The Irregular Corporation. It’s scheduled to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in winter 2021.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is not on the Switch. Neither is Watch Dogs Legion. The only one of this fall’s three vast, open-world Ubisoft games to grace the Switch is Immortals: Fenyx Rising. It doesn’t look as good or run as well as it does on Xboxes and PlayStations, of course,…
Immortals: Fenyx Rising isn’t the game I was expecting. I was prepared for a big Ubisoft open-world action game filled with colourful vistas, Greek gods, and some elements inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. It is all of that, but it’s not just Assassin’s Creed: Hyrule….
While a neat concept, getting invaded by other players in the Demon’s Souls remake can be super frustrating. Sometimes it feels impossible to land a single hit due to the typical online latency. But a notable Souls player recently managed to banish an invader from his world with the worst…
Japanese game developer Nihon Falcom has announced that decades after their original releases both Ys1 and Ys II are getting ported to the X68000, a Japan-only PC from Sharp that first went on sale in 1987.

From all the games of the last generation, perhaps none did as much to expand the idea of gaming to new audiences as the Jackbox Games.
Sure, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are powerful consoles. But the Nintendo Switch is still a cracking device, and it’s still selling like hotcakes. Especially when you can get a cracking Switch Black Friday bundle with Mario Kart for $349.
This week officially marks the annual madness that is Black Friday, and naturally everyone’s favourite video game shitposters JB Hi-Fi are getting on board.
Earlier this month in Japan, Square Enix held a briefing for investors. This week, the Tokyo-based game company finally released an official transcript of the meeting.
Fortnite’s Marvel-themed season comes to an end next week, with super villain Galactus finally arriving on the island on Tuesday afternoon. Dataminers are finding lots of references to past season events, Epic has put out some streaming rules suggesting there’ll be copyrighted music, and we really have no idea what…
That Night, Steeped By Blood River is one of the most interesting-looking games I can remember. This surrealist exploration game has an aesthetic so unique that I’m convinced I’ll dream like it tonight, and as such am somewhat put off going to sleep.
The excellent trampolinists at Eurogamer report there’s a bridge in Red Dead Online players are using to fling themselves out of the map. Bear with me a moment, I’m workshopping Facebook taglines:
There are a ton of games that just continually fly under the radar. One of those that we’re determined to not skate us by is *checks notes* drunken dwarven caving.
With so many deals being thrown around during Black Friday, trying to sort through all of them to find what you want can be a bit overwhelming. To help you get straight to the best Nintendo deals available, we’ve sorted through everything for you already. eBay’s Nintendo Switch bundle deal…
Black Friday 2020 is upon us, so it’s time to grab a bargain on some LED-clad gaming laptops and accessories. Razer are running some exclusive “Cyber Weekend” deals directly through their webstore, while Amazon is offering some big savings on Razer products.
