Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR) has announced the winners for its 23rd annual awards program, with Baldur's Gate 3 once again winning the most coveted Game of the Year prize. Larian's acclaimed cRPG has also won the Original Dramatic Score (Franchise) and Role Playing Game (Franchise) categories. However, Baldur's Gate 3 did not win the most awards.

Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios has announced it’s working on official mod support for the award-winning RPG for both PC and consoles. This will roll out sometime in 2024, but in the meantime, the studio has responded to fans who have been les...
Baldur's Gate 3 is getting cross-platform official mod support this year, Larian Studios confirmed. Speaking on X/Twitter, Larian's director of publishing Michael Douse confirmed the studio has a robust, cross-platform plan for mod support which will be released later this year. The studio already has a system, but it needs additional work and testing before it can be released, but still, this is undoubtedly excellent news that is set to make the game even better, especially on consoles. We generally don’t talk about things til they’re ready, but as you may have read, we’re making an exception. We’ve been working […]
Baldur’s Gate 3’s sixth patch is out, and it brings a slew of new kiss animations for its various love interests. While everyone can kiss their better half at camp, one of the best parts of the patch is for us Gale lovers, as a new touch animation has ...
A new Baldur's Gate 3 patch is now live on PC and consoles, bringing a massive number of new features, improvements, fixes, and more. Patch #6, which weighs around 17.3 GB on PC, introduces, among many things, new kissing animations with the chosen romance partner, new idle animations for some of the companions, and a ton of quality-of-life improvements, such as the ability to dismiss a recruited companion from the party while speaking with the companion the player wants to replace them with, prioritization of the avatar character as the main speaker in dialogues, reworked reflection scenes in the Elfsong […]
Baldur's Gate 3 has once again won the biggest prize, Game of the Year, at the 27th annual DICE Awards. The winners were announced during yesterday's ceremony held at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS). It's certainly not the first Game of the Year award for Larian's game, which has already won at The Game Awards, the Golden Joystick, the Steam Awards, the New York Game Awards, and our own Awards. The game also brought home another four prizes, including Best RPG, but Insomniac actually won the most prizes […]
After days of basically edging the community with videos of new kiss animations, Larian Studios has finally released Baldur’s Gate 3’s patch six. The roughly 21GB update brings new kisses for your lovers, quality-of-life improvements, and a slew of bug...
The next big update for Baldur’s Gate 3, Patch 6, is on its way and Larian is teasing some of the changes it will usher in. These include new Legendary Actions in Honour Mode, streamlined party management, the ability to prioritize your avatar as the “main speaker” so teammates won’t hog the conversation, and more. The patch will weigh in at a fairly meaty 21 GB, and will launch on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 simultaneously (Mac users will have to wait for a bit). Here’s a rundown of what Larian has teased for the patch thus far… Releasing […]
Baldur’s Gate 3’s bear sex scene made waves when Larian’s fantasy RPG launched last year, but the game’s speedrunning community has proven that bears are helpful for other things, too. If you’ve spent hours strategizing and scheming your way through th...
Yesterday, the New York Videogame Critics Circle (NYVGCC) announced the winners of the 13th annual New York Game Awards in a dedicated ceremony streamed live from the SVA Theatre, with Baldur's Gate 3 once again emerging as the big winner. Larian's excellent triple-A cRPG managed to win the Game of the Year award as well as the 'Herman Melville' award for Best Writing. Baldur's Gate 3 wasn't the only game to bring two prizes home, however, as Remedy's Alan Wake 2 won the 'Statue of Liberty' award for Best World. It also brought home the 'Great White Way' award for […]
The makers of Baldur’s Gate 3 have made it pretty clear that the game won’t be coming to subscription services like Xbox Game Pass any time soon, saying they believe the amount they charge for the game is fair. Now in a new statement responding to Ubisoft saying we should get used to no longer owning games, Larian boss Swen Vincke has gone a step further. Vincke’s strikes an interesting position, going beyond the usual straightforward arguments about value, saying subscription services becoming dominant would reduce the vibrancy of the industry, as those who own the sub services would have […]
2023 was a big year for gaming in general, but it seems it was a particularly strong year for PC Gaming in specific. According to a report from VG Insights, which uses data from Steam and other sources to estimate sales with a fairly high level of accuracy, the global PC gaming market grew to $9 billion in 2023, an 18 percent year-on-year increase over 2022. This followed several years of steady yet slower growth. Looking at individual games, Baldur’s Gate 3 was the easy frontrunner in terms of both units sold and revenue generated, followed by Hogwarts Legacy. In […]
