Lucid Rain Studios today unveiled a new exclusive trailer, the first boss reveal, and a playable demo for INFERIUS, its first-person horror roguelike deckbuilder, as part of the Women-Led Summer Games Showcase. The reveal marks the most substantial look at the game to date and opens the door for players to experience its first dominion for themselves.
Inspired by Lovecraft and Dante’s Inferno, INFERIUS drops players into the bowels of Hell, locked in an endless cycle of lost sanity and death. The new trailer (watch here) offers a deeper look at the game’s atmosphere, its turn-based Tarot card combat, and the lantern-driven sanity system that holds the dark at bay between encounters. It also introduces the first ruler players will face: the boss of Limbo, the first of nine dominions modeled on the sins of Dante’s Divine Comedy.
The accompanying demo is available now on Steam. It covers the tutorial and sections of the first dominion, including its branching paths, exploration segments, card battles, and the boss encounter. Each run reshuffles encounter types across the map, so no two descents into Limbo play the same way.
Gothic 1 Remake is available now on PC, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, bringing one of the most beloved cult RPGs of the early 2000s back to life. Gothic 1 Remake has been fully rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 while staying faithful to the atmosphere, story, and brutal charm of the original classic.
Step into the role of the Nameless Hero, a prisoner thrown into the Valley of Mines: a ruthless penal colony surrounded by a magical barrier. Inside, prisoners rule themselves. Three rival camps fight for power, alliances shift constantly, and survival depends entirely on how well you adapt to this unforgiving world.
Originally released in 2001, Gothic earned its legendary status through its immersive world-building, reactive NPC behavior and ecosystem, challenging progression, and unmatched sense of player freedom. Gothic 1 Remake preserves these core pillars while modernizing the experience for a new generation of players. Will you earn your place in the Old Camp, join the rebels of the New Camp, or follow the strange beliefs of the Swamp Camp?
But keep in mind, that Gothic has always been a game that refuses to hold the player’s hand. There are no glowing trails leading you through the world. No enemies magically scaling to your level. Nothing stopping you from wandering somewhere dangerous far too early. If a creature looks terrifying, that probably means it can kill you.
Well… welcome back to the Valley of Mines.
Gothic 1 Remake is being developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The game is available now for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Blue Dot Games has released a new Developer Tape video for ‘83, detailing the studio’s response to player feedback following the game’s recent Early Access launch, while also announcing a 50% discount running from June 4th to 18th. The video provides an in-depth look at ongoing development efforts, covering improvements to performance, animations, immersion, communication systems and community features.
Launching ’83 into Early Access marked a major milestone for Blue Dot Games, following years of work bringing the project into a modern engine and preparing it for large-scale online warfare. While the Early Access launch presented a number of challenges, player feedback has become a key driver of the game’s ongoing development.
Since launch, the team has rolled out regular hotfixes, balance changes and major quality-of-life updates aimed at improving the overall experience. Work has focused on areas highlighted by the community, including server stability, optimisation, animations, audio, visual effects and player communication.
Recent improvements include updates to weapon handling and movement animations, more impactful battlefield audio and effects, refinements to VOIP and team coordination systems, and new tools for both official and community servers. Blue Dot Games is also continuing work on systems designed to encourage teamwork and create more consistently tense, hard-fought matches.
Alongside these improvements, additional updates are planned for the weeks and months ahead, with further work underway across gameplay systems, stability and community-requested features.
A 50% discount will be available from June 4th to 18th, giving new players an ideal opportunity to jump into ’83 and experience its large-scale Cold War battles.
In addition, a new Assault scenario will enter beta soon, expanding ’83’s large-scale tactical sandbox with new opportunities for squad coordination and combat. More details on the scenario and future updates will be shared in the coming weeks.
Unknown Worlds today released the eighth Developer Vlog for Subnautica 2, highlighting recent hotfixes and outlining the short- and long-term roadmap for upcoming updates.
In the video, Subnautica 2 Lead Designer Anthony Gallegos shared details on recent hotfixes and upcoming development plans. Based on player feedback, the team has already implemented several gameplay adjustments, including increased resource deposits and changes to predator attack frequency and damage, aimed at improving the overall exploration and survival experience.
The vlog also previewed upcoming smaller updates. Improvements to the Biomods system will expand passive slots and introduce new options designed to diversify early-game survival strategies. In response to community requests, proximity voice chat, emotes, and additional character customization features are also currently in development. The team also revealed plans for a major upcoming content update, which will introduce a new vehicle and open a new region inhabited by the massive “Collector Leviathan.”
“The feedback and voices of our players continue to shape the direction of Subnautica 2,” said Fernando Melo, Executive Producer of Subnautica 2. “Within the first week following launch, the team released two hotfixes to quickly respond to community feedback. We’ll continue prioritizing player input throughout Early Access as we expand the depth and scope of the experience through future updates.”
Developed by Unknown Worlds, founded by Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, Subnautica 2 is the official sequel to the genre-defining Subnautica series. Set on a new alien world within the Subnautica universe, the sequel introduces new ecosystems brought to life through enhanced visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5. For the first time in the series, Subnautica 2 also introduces optional co-op for up to four players, allowing players to survive, strategize, and explore together.
Subnautica 2 is available now on Steam, Xbox (Series X|S consoles and PC), and the Epic Games Store. Players can learn more by visiting the official Subnautica website and social media channels
NACON and Cyanide Studio are pleased to announce that Tour de France 2026 is now available on PC, PlayStation 5™ and Xbox Series X|S! This year’s edition introduces new features and several gameplay improvements to deliver the most immersive cycling experience.
As the official game of the most prestigious cycling competition, Tour de France 2026 faithfully recreates all 21 stages of this year’s race. Iconic locations such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the starting city of the 2026 edition, and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris have been accurately reproduced in-game. Take control of legendary riders such as Tadej Pogačar and compete for the iconic Yellow Jersey or create your own rider and build a cycling career from the ground up.
One of the major additions in Tour de France 2026 is the introduction of a dynamic weather conditions system. Rain can now make roads slippery and directly affect gameplay. Every corner and descent becomes more challenging, requiring players to carefully adjust their racing lines and braking distances to avoid crashes that could cost them victory. Riders with higher agility ratings (from D to A+) are better prepared to stay upright in difficult conditions and avoid a fall.
Tour de France 2026 brings additional new features such as the addition of the Paris-Tours and Muscat Classic races, official National Champion jerseys, and a redesigned user interface that enhances realism and immersion.
Tour de France 2026 is available now on PS5TM, Xbox Series X|S and PC

If your desk looks like a giant spider web of cords, I feel your pain. Between a custom PC, a PS5, an Xbox, and a Nintendo Switch, my gaming setup used to look like a complete cable disaster. Keeping track of three different headsets just to hear in-game sound on different systems is a total nightmare.
SteelSeries wants to cure this headache. They launched the Arctis Nova Pro Omni on May 5, 2026, for $399.99. This headset aims to be the only pair you will ever need to buy. It sits right below their $600 flagship, the Nova Elite. But does it actually do enough to earn a spot on your desk? Let’s check it out and see if it is worth your hard-earned cash.
Build Quality?
Let’s be honest. When you spend four hundred dollars on a headset, you want it to feel like a premium piece of tech. The Omni does not. While the fancy Elite uses luxury metal parts and brass, the Omni relies mostly on plastic. Even the sliders on the earcups feel a bit cheap. They make a scratchy, grating sound when you slide them up and down.
But you know what? There is a major upside to using more plastic. It is light. The Omni weighs just 339 grams, while the Elite is a heavy 380 grams. It feels wonderfully light on your head. SteelSeries uses their classic ski-goggle-style headband that floats on your skull. It spreads the weight so well that you can wear it for hours.
The vegan leather ear cushions are thick and plush. They seal out noise great, but they do trap heat. Your ears will get warm after an hour of gaming. Still, the fit is so cozy that you won’t mind too much. It’s a nice change from older headsets that clamped your jaw like a vice. Especially once you see the magic box that sits on your desk.
The GameHub
Here’s the thing that makes this headset special: the GameHub. It is a little desktop box with an OLED screen and a big volume wheel. On the back, you get three USB-C ports. This is huge. Usually, console makers force you to buy different versions of the same headset because of security chips. Not here. One port has the special chip needed to work with Xbox. The other two work with PC, PlayStation, or your Switch.
It also features “OmniPlay”. This lets you connect up to five devices and play sound from four of them at the exact same time. Want to play a game on your console, chat on Discord on your PC, and listen to music from your phone via Bluetooth? You can do all three. There is no delay or drop in sound quality when you do this. It works seamlessly. Plus, when you turn the headset off, the hub automatically sends your sound to your desktop speakers through the line-out port. No more cable swapping.
Footsteps, Gunfire, and Gaming Frequencies
How does it sound when you’re actually playing? In short: excellent, but with a slight catch. The Omni uses classic 40mm neodymium drivers. Out of the box, the sound is clean and detailed, but the high frequencies are very bright. In games like Counter-Strike 2 or Marathon, this is a total superpower. You can hear footsteps and weapon swaps with laser precision.
But if you listen to acoustic music, that high-end boost can make voices sound sharp. It gets quite sibilant. Luckily, you can fix this. If you are on PC, the Sonar software gives you a powerful EQ to adjust everything. For console players, SteelSeries finally added a mobile app. You can adjust a custom EQ on your phone and save it directly to the headset’s brain. I tested this while playing Diablo 4, and boosting the bass made the combat sound wonderfully meaty. But what happens when you run out of juice mid-fight?
The Swappable Battery
Let’s talk about power. SteelSeries boasts “infinite battery life”. How does that work? They give you two batteries in the box. One lives in the headset, and the other charges inside the GameHub. When your headset runs low after about 30 hours, you pop off the magnetic earplate and swap them. You are back to full power in seconds.
But here is a funny contradiction. SteelSeries says you get non-stop play. In reality, the moment you pull the battery out, the headset dies. It has no internal capacitor to keep it running during the swap. The headset has to reboot and find the wireless signal again. It is a tiny step back from the pricier Elite, which stays on during swaps. Still, waiting five seconds for a reboot is much better than plugging in a charging cable. Of course, keeping your head in the game also means blocking out the rest of your house.
ANC, Transparency, and the Retractable Mic
The active noise cancelling is surprisingly good. The four-mic system blocks out low hums like PC fans, traffic, or a washing machine. It is perfect for getting lost in single-player games. However, it won’t block out sharp sounds. If a dog barks or a baby cries, you will still hear it. The transparency mode works well too, letting you hear your own voice naturally during calls.
Then we have the ClearCast Pro microphone. It retracts fully into the left earcup, which is nice if you want to wear these outside. The cool part is the on-board AI noise cancelling. It runs on the headset itself, so it works on Xbox and PlayStation without needing PC software. It blocks background noise like magic. But there is a trade-off. The processing is so aggressive that your voice can sound heavily compressed and a bit unnatural. It is fine for Discord, but don’t expect it to replace a real desktop mic. And speaking of limits, let’s talk about the actual bugs I ran into.
Bugs and Quirks
No tech is perfect, and the Omni has some annoying bugs. First, when you connect to your phone via Bluetooth, the volume is surprisingly low. You have to turn the volume wheel way past the halfway mark just to hear properly.
Second, if you use the 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth at the same time, the mic automatically routes only to the Bluetooth stream. You can’t take a quick phone call and stay in your PC game chat at the same time. Third, some users complain that the Bluetooth play/pause button on the right earcup doesn’t work when connected to a PC.
And lastly, there is a weird hiss. If you have ANC and Bluetooth turned on together, but no music is playing, you might hear a faint high-frequency buzz in the right earcup. It seems to be a shielding issue in the hardware. Also, that OLED screen on the GameHub runs constantly, which means static icons could cause screen burn-in down the road. I wish they used an E-Ink screen instead. That brings us to the final question: is this headset actually worth your hard-earned cash?
Is It Worth Your Cash?
At $400, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is a serious investment. If you only play on one console or just a PC, this is total overkill. You are better off buying a cheaper headset like the Logitech G Pro X 2 or Corsair HS80.
But if you own multiple systems and hate swapping cables, this thing is a godsend. It gives you almost all the features of the $600 Elite for two hundred dollars less. The plastic build feels a bit cheap, and the mic is heavily processed, but the incredible connectivity and the dual-battery system make it the ultimate daily driver. If you want one headset to rule your entire gaming life, the Omni is hard to beat.
