Xbox's smallest gamepad has picked up an interesting new capability just as it reaches store shelves. The Xbox Nano Controller, which launched at $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99, reportedly supports a direct Wi-Fi connection for Xbox Cloud Gaming. The feature, called Cloud Connect, is designed to reduce input latency compared with a conventional Bluetooth connection. The discovery comes from Windows Central's Jez Corden, who has been testing the compact controller ahead of publishing a full review. According to Corden, Cloud...

The reviews for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake are in, and the verdict is historic: with a Metascore of 96 from 83 critic reviews as of November 4, 2026, it is the highest-rated game of 2026 on both Metacritic and OpenCritic. Every single review is positive — zero mixed, zero negative — one day before the game launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. Here is what critics are saying and everything that has changed compared to the...

A typical day in Loftia might begin with tending your own hydroponic garden, continue with helping your neighbors restore the city's dome, and end with an expedition into mysterious tunnels beneath an abandoned urban district. These seemingly unrelated activities all contribute to a living, evolving world shaped by its inhabitants. After years in development, Qloud Games officially launched Loftia into Early Access on November 3, 2026, inviting PC and macOS players to begin a new life among islands floating high...

For a while, it felt like every big release had to chase photorealism. But look at what players have actually been hooked on lately: Hollow Knight: Silksong, Mina the Hollower, and a steady stream of pixel-art indies climbing the Steam charts. Clearly, 2D isn't "retro" anymore. It's just good game design without the fluff. The latest one to wash ashore is Mayday: The Survival Island, which hit Steam on November 2. It comes from Pequi Studios, a three-person team from...

Some battles are remembered not for who emerged victorious, but for the sheer spectacle of towering monsters reducing entire cities to rubble. Having delivered that experience back in 2002, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee has officially returned after 24 years. Rebuilt by Atari and Pipeworks Studios as Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, the game launched on November 3, 2026, coinciding with Godzilla Day and marking 72 years since the King of the Monsters first appeared on the big screen....

The Wolf Among Us Remastered arrived on October 29, 2026, and it is being sold with a genuinely clever launch plan: a $24.99 price tag, a 20% new-player discount until November 12, and a 50% loyalty discount for anyone who already owns the 2013 original. Just as interesting is what this release represents. Narrative-driven, episodic adventures were written off when Telltale shut down in 2018 — but AdHoc Studio's Dispatch proved the formula still works, and now the remastered Bigby...

For an online world, opening day is more than just a release milestone. It marks the moment when a developer's vision begins to face the realities of a living, breathing player community. ArcheAge Chronicles has officially reached that stage, with XLGAMES launching the game into Steam Early Access on November 3, 2026. Auroria now welcomes adventurers eager to overcome challenging encounters, explore unfamiliar lands, or build a life of their own. However, alongside the opportunities awaiting players, the development team...

Xbox has unveiled one of its strangest Series X designs yet, and this one is definitely not destined for store shelves. Dubbed the Xbox Series X-Bite, the custom creation is built around a giant alligator that appears to have swallowed Microsoft's console, complete with an Xbox controller bearing simulated bite marks. The reveal comes ahead of the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition, but unlike that upcoming variant, the Series X-Bite is strictly a collector's piece. Xbox worked with John Nolan...

Razer is expanding its premium controller lineup with the Raiju V3 Pro Signature Edition, a limited-run gamepad designed for PlayStation 5 players. Its standout feature is an unusual transparent exoskeleton that exposes much of the internal hardware, giving the controller a distinctive collector-focused appearance. The design also features a prominent PlayStation button, a Razer logo, and a partially transparent touchpad. The attention to detail extends beyond its appearance. Razer has constructed the black outer frame from magnesium alloy and...

Here is everything Activision has confirmed for the new season, based on the official Season 1 blog post as of November 2, 2026. Warzone Season 1...
