For our next round of Best of Black Friday features, we are diving into the most notable gear in the Google ecosystem. While we will certainly being seeing deals across the Googleverse, including its latest Pixel tablets and Chromecast devices, this po...
Apple launched the new M4 Mac mini with a complete redesign a few weeks ago, and we now have one of the first teardowns of the machine, showcasing what changes the company has implemented on the inside. iFixit is known for its in-depth teardown of Apple and products from other companies and provides how well it is designed for repairability. Apple has greatly reduced the size and overall footprint of the M4 Mac mini, so it will be interesting to see how the teardown goes. iFixit gives a 7 out of 10 repairability score to the redesigned M4 Mac mini […]

This means gamers who own RTX 40 GPUs can turn on DLSS 3.0 with Frame Generation from day one. That said, NVIDIA has released its numbers for the […]
The narrative of the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 has taken unpredictable twists and turns that have kept its community on its toes since it launched, but no surprise has been greater than the reverence for Malevelon Creek. The embattled planet, often re...
Helldivers 2, Arrowhead Game Studio's highly successful sequel to 2015's Helldivers, was the highest-growing title on PC and PS5 in the US and UK in February 2024. That's what leading gaming market research firm Newzoo writes in a new article on its blog. A lot has been said and written about the success of Arrowhead's game with recent claims that the game has sold way over 5 million copies across both PC and PS5 since its launch last month, and topping sales charts. In the new article from Newzoo, the research firm has shared some interesting (estimated) figures, monthly active […]
Helldivers 2 has a bug problem. No, not that one, but a literal bug problem. The Terminids, a species of huge, homicidal bugs, have plagued the game since the very beginning. They’re the first enemies in Super Earth’s ongoing galactic war, and players ...

The most fascinating thing about Helldivers 2’s ongoing story is how effectively its momentum and beats are used to not just make the player base feel immersed in an ongoing, evolving conflict, but to mobilize them in specific directions. We know that ...
Helldivers 2 has only been out for about a month and has already evolved so much. At first, players were only laying waste to bugs, but now there are also killer robots to fight on the other side of the galaxy. Planets have been liberated, while others...
In the past couple of years, there’s been a growing trend of big gaming companies acquiring studios. One studio that won’t be getting acquired any time soon, however, is Arrowhead Game Studios. The developer of 2024’s multiplayer hit Helldivers 2 recen...
No, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios isn't being purchased by PlayStation. That's what Arrowhead's CEO and Creative Director on Helldivers 2, Johan Pilestedt, has confirmed on X just now. Yesterday, rumors about Sony purchasing the Swedish independent developer surfaced after a 'leaker' claimed that the studio has already been bought by Sony. In addition, the leaker claimed that an announcement would follow shortly. This 'leaker' is the same person who initially claimed that Sony would soon be confirming the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima - a claim that was later backed by insider Shpeshal Nick. On X, however, Pilestedt has […]
Arrowhead's hit title Helldivers 2 has a 'Game Master' feature in which a single developer at the studio is controlling the galactic war. On X, Arrowhead's Creative Director and CEO Johan Pilestedt has provided additional details. Last month, Arrowhead and Sony revealed that the Helldivers sequel featured a game master feature, allowing for co-op fights to be coordinated in real-time. In a new interview with PCGamer, CEO Johan Pilestedt talked about this feature, revealing that there's an actual person (called Joel) at Arrowhead controlling the war - the feature takes a lot of inspiration from the dungeon master as seen […]
Arrowhead Game Studios has rolled out a new Helldivers 2 patch (version 1.000.13), which improves the login speed on PlayStation 5, and more. Another day, another patch for Arrowhead's hit title it would seem. Without a doubt, the developer is hard at work to further improve the co-op sci-fi shooter on both PS5 and PC - recently a patch already increased the server cap to 700K players. Today's update not only improves login speed on PlayStation 5, but should also reduce the amount of error messages on Sony's console. In addition, this new patch addresses an issue where Super Credits […]
Helldivers 2 is the game of the moment, garnering massive attention but also buckling under the weight of its soaring player counts. Arrowhead Game Studios prepared the third-person, live-service shooter for a busy weekend as more folks drop into the g...
Helldivers 2 continues to sell well. The game had surpassed one million units sold just four days after its February 8 launch. Arrowhead Creative Director Johan Pilestedt has now confirmed it is around three million units just over two weeks after the release. As noted by GamesIndustry's Chris Dring, Helldivers 2 improved its sales in Europe by 40% from the first to the second week, which is very rare (usually, games start very strong on their launch weeks and then continue to drop off from there). Dring also said over 60% of the sales are on PC. There's a downside […]
