Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has sold 4.5 million copies, publisher Focus Entertainment has announced. The Saber Interactive-developed action game set in Games Workshop’s grimdark science fiction universe had already broken records upon its launch on September 9, becoming the most-played Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer video game ever released on Steam with huge peak concurrent player counts. Now, a little over a month after launch, Space Marine 2 has hit 4.5 million players. Last month, Saber Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits told IGN how the breakout success of Space Marine 2 had “changed everything” for the company. At the time, Willits wouldn’t go into hard numbers, either in revenue or profit terms, but did go on the record to say Space Marine 2 is the fastest-selling game he's ever worked on, and that includes all the *****, Quake, Wolfenstein, and Rage games id Software released over the 24 years he was at the studio. Speaking to IGN, Willits revealed that the budget for Space Marine 2 was less than half that of ***** Eternal, the last game he was id Software studio director on before leaving to join Saber in 2019. It seems likely that Space Marine 2, whose standard edition currently costs $59.99 on Steam and $69.99 on console, is already a highly profitable endeavor for all involved. There are already ideas floating around for the now inevitable Space Marine 3, but in the shorter term Space Marine 2 has a confirmed Year 1 roadmap of post-launch support to deliver. Speaking of which, Focus has confirmed the imminent arrival of the Tyranid Hierophant Bio-Titan ****** type, the new Neo-Volkite *******, and the hotly anticipated Dark Angels chapter cosmetic pack. But that’s not all that’s coming to Space Marine 2. Eagle-eyed fans have spotted the Space Marine chapter now all-but confirmed to get a cosmetic pack after the Dark Angels, and even an unannounced new Thousand Sons ****** type. Saber recently released Space Marine 2’s game-changing patch 3.0, which made a seemingly innocuous change to the ending that got Warhammer 40,000 fans excited. Season 2 is set to kick off by the end of October. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

We could be getting the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 as soon as March 2025, while the RTX 5070 will arrive in February 2025, according to a new rumor. If this ***** is to be believed, then Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 graphics cards could be here far sooner after the RTX 5090 and 5080 launch than we would normally expect. The next generation of Nvidia graphics cards have long been rumored to be publicly announced during the CES 2025 tech trade show in Las Vegas in January 2025. Based on everything we've seen so far, we'd strongly expect these new GPUs to be among the best graphics cards you can buy, with the RTX 5090 in particular replacing the Nvidia RTX 4090 at the very top of the performance pack. However, realistically it will be cards like the RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 that most gamers will be buying, so news of a sooner than expected arrival is cause for celebration, if it turns out to be true.

The F1 Arcade is a simulator. Just... a simpler one. | Photo: David Pierce / The Verge Confidence was my first mistake. As I plopped down in one of the 83 racing simulators in the new F1 Arcade location in Washington, DC, I told the company’s CEO, Adam Breeden, that I’d raced plenty of times before. I picked Semi-Pro difficulty, even as Breeden told me he recommends most first-time arcade visitors pick something simpler. I adjusted the Vesaro simulator, started the race, and caused a six-car pileup on the race’s very first corner. Luckily for me, the F1 Arcade is designed more for fun than fidelity, so my race wasn’t over. It ended four minutes later, in *****-last place, as the onscreen timer mercifully ticked to zero. On a normal day at the arcade, this would signal it’s time for someone else to race. For me, sitting at... Continue reading… View the full article

Super Mario Party Jamboree has a host of modes, and most of them can be played online with up to eight players in certain ones, like Koopathalon. While you can start a party and play with random players, this is a Mario Party game. And what’s a Mario Party game without your actual friends? You can create lobbies to play with your friends in the multitude of modes around the world as long as you complete specific actions first. It’s pretty straightforward once you know what you’re doing, but Nintendo does a painful job of teaching players what to do to set up their first match. View the full article
Silent Hill 2 has recently been remade, but that doesn't mean that the story of James and the characters he encounters in Silent Hill has to end there again. Sure, the original game was released in 2001, and the remake doesn't change the core story beats, although it does add two additional endings that weren't part of the original, but that doesn't mean that a sequel is completely out of the question. In fact, a sequel to Silent Hill 2 could be exactly what Konami needs to revitalize the series. View the full article
As hype builds for ****** Ops 6, Activision has released a new PC-specific feature trailer revealing that AMD FSR 3.1 will be in the game at launch. This new trailer also confirms Ricochet Anti-Cheat is still being used and that there are over 500 customization options in the settings menu. The Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 release date is right around the corner, so it makes sense that Activision is finding ways to push the new game to players across all platforms. This latest update focuses on the addition of AMD FSR 3.1, which means gamers on a wide range of the top graphics cards - not only those made by Nvidia - can now enjoy better quality resolution upscaling and performance-boosting Frame Generation.

Payday 2 was such a gigantic success, the sequel was always going to suffer by comparison. In the sophomore entry, Starbreeze got it everything right - Payday 2 was precisely what fans of the original heist FPS wanted, and over a decade of incremental updates, community sentiment only became more glowing. Payday 3, as Starbreeze told us directly, was a disaster at launch. But more than a year down the road, and with recent Steam reviews now 'mostly positive' on aggregate, the opportunity for redemption is ******* than ever. Enter the latest Payday 3 update. Marking the shooter's anniversary, it fixes some of the most severe problems players have encountered so far and adds features like server browsing, cross-platform voice chat, and a reimagined interface.

Image: Supergiant Games The first major update for Hades II, which is still in early access, is out now, adding things like a new region, the game’s sixth and final *******, new pets, native support for Macs with M1 chips, and more. The big feature looks to be the new region. You might be able to guess what that region is based on the update’s title — “The Olympic Update” — but if you haven’t played the game yet, I’m not going to say anything else. I’m looking forward to exploring it as soon as I can and trying to take down the boss, who seems to be featured in the update’s release trailer. (I’ll probably try to get there with the new *******, “Xinth, the ****** Coat.”) There are a bunch of other updates, too. Supergiant has added two animal familiars to the game:...

Archetype Entertainment and Blur Studio's space RPG Exodus was announced back in December, and was broadly notable for a couple of things: 1) Matthew McConaughey plays a character, and 2) the game's story is woven around time dilation during faster than light travel, with star-hopping adventurers prosecuting a ****** against evil Celestials over hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Now, it is notable for three things, the third thing being a cosmic blubber-spire of gurning faces who want to eat your ship and soul. Say hello to the Mara Yama, the ickiest Celestial faction so far. Here's a trailer, in which McConaughey does that thing where he lingers on the sibilants and makes you want to lean in and vigorously mess up his hair. Read more View the full article

Survival games love forests. There's something about hiding between the trees, hunting for supplies, and setting up your base amid lush wildlife that the genre can't step away from. Between Don't Starve, DayZ, Rust, and The Forest (naturally), the titans of survival love a good thicket. Permafrost is different. Rather than the woodland, you're fighting for your life amid the frozen ruins of what were once sprawling cities. Make sure you've wrapped up warm, because the Steam Next Fest demo is available now.
