  1. CD Projekt and GOG.com co-founder, Michał Kiciński now has full ownership of GOG.com. Kiciński founded CD Projekt alongside his brother Marcin in 1994 and co-founded GOG.com, the classic PC game digital distribution platform, in 2008. Michał Kiciński resigned from his position at CD Projekt in 2010, but has remained involved in the company. CD Projekt has maintained ownership over GOG.com since its inception, but it announced today that Michał Kiciński now retains full ownership of GOG.com after acquiring 100% of its shares. It was an amazing journey! Good luck, friends. Can’t wait to see you conquering new heights! https://t.co/wr0jddtRic — CD PROJEKT RED (@CDPROJEKTRED)…

  2. A lot of games have arrived in the latter half of 2025, but one RPG has remained a steady undercurrent. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is the story I keep going back to and gradually picking away at, and it's the revival that finally made me understand why Nihon Falcom's series has garnered such a fervent following. As the year comes to a close, we're highlighting some personal favorite games from our team that we feel you shouldn't miss. If you're still looking for the right game to carry you into 2026, and you've already hit up our Top 10 Best, we're hoping one of these recommendations will hit the mark. Few series look as intimidating as Trails does from the outside, as…

  8. As we put a bow on 2025, we've gladly acknowledged all the good that has emerged out of the games industry and the incredibly creative folks therein. We received unexpected hits, tried-and-true juggernauts, and a follow-up to one of the most successful video game devices of all time. However, as I look ahead to 2026, I cannot help but feel wowed by the number of heavy hitting video games and all-around nerdy things that I cannot wait to experience over the next year. Here at Game Informer, we are hyperfocused on the games side, and 2026 looks incredible in that regard. We don't even have a full picture, and already, we know about some unbelievably exciting titles. Grand T…

  9. As a teenager, I watched my grandma fight and defeat breast cancer. For over a decade, my family smiled through every milestone, whether it was a birthday, an anniversary, or something else, happy my grandma could be a part of it. My wife and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl into this world earlier this year and my grandma hasn’t met her. She never will, because in 2023, she died due to returning cancer complications, and I wasn’t there. I was in France for a work trip, and I still so vividly remember the call I got that terrible evening. I remember the once delightful smells of the noodles before me, which quickly turned nauseating; I remember telling my coworker I had…

  10. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora launched at the end of 2023, after gracing the cover of Game Informer, but developer Massive Entertainment has been hard at work making the game even better. That includes a recent update that added New Game Plus and the long-requested third-person mode to the game, alongside a new expansion called From The Ashes, a story expansion that ties into the events of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Basically, it's never been a better time to play Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, as evidenced by the Avatar subreddit, myriad TikToks highlighting its fun, and general online chatter. Despite all the new and returning excitement around the game, I can't ignore one gl…

    In any other year, I'd have spent hours of our end-of-year debates singing the praises of Monster Train 2, but unfortunately, it's been an astounding year for roguelikes as a whole. Both my first and second favorite games of the year, Hades 2 and Blue Prince, respectively, are probably also my first and second favorite roguelikes of all time. When I have to whittle down a list of hills to die on during our discussions, Monster Train 2 is just barely below the threshold. That said, it's still a fantastic game, and I wish more people (especially game critics) had spent time with it this year. As the year comes to a close, we're highlighting some personal favorite games from…

  13. We learned during a Nintendo Direct back in September that developer ConcernedApe was working on a Nintendo Switch 2 update for Stardew Valley. Yesterday, on Christmas, ConcernedApe surprise-dropped the update, and it's free to anyone who already owns the game on Switch. If you don't own Stardew Valley on Switch, you can purchase the Switch 2 edition for $14.99; if you do own it already, all you have to do is upgrade to the Switch 2 edition via a free "Upgrade Pack" on the Nintendo eShop. As for what to expect in this edition of the game, it features mouse controls, local split-screen co-op for up to 4 players, and online multiplayer for up to 8 players. Plus, with the S…

  14. Goooooooooood morning! It's the day after Christmas for those who celebrate, and you're probably either back to work or chilling at home, enjoying the gifts you received this year. Or maybe you're still in a food-induced coma. Regardless, the holiday season is coming to a close, and the big man dressed in red is back home at the North Pole. This year, Christmas (which is always my favorite holiday of the year) was extra special – it was the first one with my almost-9-months-old daughter, and though she basically had zero idea what was going on, it still made for some memories I'll forever cherish. I didn't buy her any video game gifts this year – that'll come in due time…

    Every time I boot up Steam, my eye catches Metal Eden in my library, and I'm reminded of just how slick of an FPS it is. This cyberpunk adventure is Doom Eternal meets Ghostrunner, and I'm still thinking about it five months after I rolled credits. I fear not enough people have played it, and if you haven't, you should change that. As the year comes to a close, we're highlighting some personal favorite games from our team that we feel you shouldn't miss. If you're still looking for the right game to carry you into 2026, and you've already hit up our Top 10 Best, we're hoping one of these recommendations will hit the mark.

  21. As time goes on, I am comfortable awarding the first season of the Fallout TV show as my favorite video game adaptation. Well, actually, that honor still belongs to the 2021 Josh Ruben horror comedy Werewolves Within, but that movie is more technically based on a video game than it is an adaptation of beloved interactive media. Fallout has the much more difficult challenge of taking a well-known, well-liked, and dense video game universe that has existed since 1997 and condensing it down so anyone can enjoy it. But it also has to serve longtime fans of the franchise. And it also has to be interesting. And it has to be funny, too. And canon. The fact that season one worked…

    The latest entry in the Konami horror franchise really snuck up on me, and I don’t mean in a jump scare way. In fact, I wouldn’t describe Silent Hill f as overtly scary as much as I would describe it as thoughtfully horrific. Like its predecessors, Silent Hill f is less about making you run away from something terrifying (which it does do that, too) as much as it is about making you face something scary and stare at it, unblinking, while you consider what you did or didn’t do to make it happen.
