Grand Theft Auto V never got a proper story expansion, and it definitely seems like some sort of story DLC was indeed planned, judging from a recent discovery. A few days back, the GTA V program database file leaked online, revealing some interesting information about the game as reported by X/Twitter user Liam. The file further confirms how story DLC was cut and most likely reworked into GTA Online content with a string related to Trevor and a jet pack. At this point, it's more likely than ever how the Doomsday Heist expansion for GTA Online featured content that was […]

The Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis Steam store page has gone live today, revealing the system requirements for the mobile game released a few weeks back worldwide. The system requirements are particularly undemanding, which is expected for a game originally released on mobile devices. Given how an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 / Intel Core i5-6400 CPU, 8 GB RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 460 / Intel Arc™ A380 / NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 950 GPU are recommended to run the game, it should have no trouble running decently on a wide range of system configurations.

The Sims 5: Project Rene, a highly anticipated title amongst the franchise's fans, is expected to feature multiplayer mechanics inspired by the popular Animal Crossing. The next iteration within The Sims lineup of releases is arguably going to be the most significant yet, mainly since it has been mentioned several times that the devs plan to make it a "multiplayer" platform.
