Star Wars: Galactic Racer is now available worldwide on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The game is developed by Fuse Games and published by Secret Mode in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
State of Decay developer Undead Labs has bought itself out from Microsoft through a company called Full Measure and moved to employee ownership, a process studio head Philip Holt says led to a significant number of people leaving. Holt said he was irresponsibly transparent with staff during Xbox's reset, telling them early that job losses were likely so they were prepared on the day of layoffs. He said the studio has made some changes to State of Decay 3 after the layoffs, but the project was not radically rescoped and is still set for release in 2027.
Amazon Prime is offering the best Star Wars game of the year for free. Two of 2026's best Star Wars games, Star Wars Zero Company and Star Wars: Galactic Racer, released within six weeks of each other, with Galactic Racer's 88 Metascore making it a top-five Star Wars game of all time.
Auroch Digital announced that the survivors-like roguelite Warhammer Survivors will launch November 10 on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Switch, PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, iOS, and Android for $7.99 / £6.39 / €7.49, and will also be available via Game Pass. A demo is available now on PC. Developed with poncle, the game draws characters from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universes, including Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun's Malum Caedo.
According to Insider Gaming, Ubisoft plans to release a Director's Cut of Watch Dogs: Legion in the first half of 2027, revisiting London and giving the game a second pass. Legion is the third entry in the Watch Dogs series and was rated the worst of the three, criticized for its underwhelming plot and buggy performance issues.
Bandai Namco and Bandai Namco Studios released a three-minute gameplay walkthrough trailer for Gundam Rogue Orbit, showing high-speed combat on Mars for the first time. The high-mobility action game is due out for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on March 5, 2027. Players take the cockpit of Gundam Helix alongside a rag-tag crew facing an unknown threat, with fast, hard-hitting melee combat at its core.
A roughly 30-minute preview of Gundam Rogue Orbit showed combo-heavy action RPG combat with a whip sword, Sword Lance, and cooldown-based active skills, feeling like a gentler cousin to Armored Core 6. The demo still held back the mech customization screen, even though a menu screenshot is already on the Steam page. The full game is out in March.
After 10 hours with the demo, PC Gamer's Fraser Brown argues that Warhammer Survivors, from Boltgun developer Auroch Digital, feels more like a Vampire Survivors sequel than a spin-off. It keeps weapon evolutions, chest drops, arcana, bosses, and upgrades while adding followers, more overt boss fights, and explosive dice, with Nuln oil turned into a weapon that damages and slows enemies. The game launches on November 10, runs well on Steam Deck, and ramps up faster and harder than its predecessor.
Warhammer Survivors, the Vampire Survivors-inspired Warhammer roguelite, launches on PS5 on 10th November priced at £6.39 / $7.99 / €7.49. A 10% discount will be available at release and for pre-orders, but only on "select" platforms, with no word yet on whether PS5 is included. Bristol-based developer Auroch Digital's game features over 40 playable characters from Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar lore, plus over 75 weapon types.
PlayStation announced that Warhammer Survivors will launch on PS5 on November 10, blending relentless war with roguelite action. The post also introduced two new characters set to face the swarms, with a link to more details.

Artstorm, developer of Modern Warships, admitted it used independent concept artist Alex Jay Brady's ekranoplan carrier design as the basis for the in-game ship RF Bartini A-2000-7 without permission. The studio apologized to Brady on X and said it would contact him directly to make things right, while Brady waits to see what compensation is offered. Unlocking the carrier in-game requires $50-100 in gacha spins or roughly 7,000 to 15,000+ ArtCoins.
GameSpot senior video producer Kurt Indovina says the Steam Frame is the best VR headset he has used and possibly the last one he will own. He replayed titles such as Half-Life: Alyx on it and describes the standalone wireless headset as a major step up from 2019's Valve Index in inside-out tracking, streaming support and onboard processing, though it sits at the pricier end of the market.
NBA 2K25 will be delisted at the end of October, just two years after launch. The game's servers will be shut down at the beginning of 2027.
Deadlock's major City Never Sleeps update added six new heroes, starting with the Rat King, making the MOBA and third-person shooter feel like a horror game. The author, who mainly plays Rem, now gets hunted by the Rat King in the tunnels, where exits close during combat. Encounters with enemies like Abrams and Seven in the new Chinatown district add to the scares.
IGN has corroborated Insider Gaming's report that Ubisoft plans to relaunch Watch Dogs: Legion next year with a revamped Director's Cut. Legion launched in 2020 to a tepid reception, and the franchise has since been rested with no all-new game believed to be in development. There is reportedly a push to do more with Legion early next year.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy casts players as an Inquisition agent who solves cases, logs evidence, makes accusations, tortures and snoops, and can pin crimes on the innocent. Players can also choose to act the way Gregor Eisenhorn would. Owlcat senior narrative designer Veronika Larionova answered questions about the detective systems.
Grand Theft Auto 5 was made playable in a browser before the site was pulled offline, with reports that hosting service Cloudflare intervened. It follows a cease and desist from Bethesda over the AI-generated Fallout: New York fan project, which was also playable in a PC browser and built by Claude Opus 5.5. IGN last week reported the original Xbox version of Halo: Combat Evolved running in a browser, and it remains unclear how AI-generated versions of popular games will be policed.
IGN published an exclusive interview with Dawn of War 4 creative director Jan Theysen about how the Space Marines faction plays. The Space Marines are the game's most elite faction, fielding few but expensive units that are strong early but cannot cover the whole map, and they can call in buildings from orbit and hold units in reserve for Drop Pod or Thunderhawk deployment. The game launches on PC on December 3, 2026.

ARC Raiders, The Finals Are the Next Games Set for TV and Movie Adaptations https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/10/arc-raiders-the-finals-are-the-next-games-set-for-tv-and-movie-adaptations
Car Park Capital is a management game where you play as a representative of big auto, tasked with transforming the eco-friendly, public-transport-rich Baldtown City into a petrol-dependent, car-brained suburbia. You buy land, build parking lots, put up pro-car signage, and use a bullhorn van to drum up demand, while buying up bus stops and subway stations to weaken public transport. The game is published by MicroProse Software and developed by Hilkojj Interactive, with a style reminiscent of Bullfrog's Theme Park and Theme Hospital.
Embark Studios has confirmed that its shooters The Finals and ARC Raiders are being adapted for the screen, teaming up with production company Chernin Entertainment. It's unclear whether both games will get TV shows and movies or if one will go to television and the other to film. Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund called the Nexon-owned studio's agreement with Chernin the next step in growing both properties into transmedia experiences.
