Pleasingly bizarre four-wheeled survival game Pacific Drive has officially sold 600K copies, and its developer Ironwood Studios has announced it’s celebrating that milestone with a series of content updates throughout the rest of this year. And the first of those updates is now live, offering a bunch of free additions, as well as a bit of daft cosmetic DLC.

It’s available right from the pause menu and gives player access to various camera settings – including depth of field, focus control, and exposure – as well as numerous aesethetic filters. It’s also possible to change weather conditions and time of da…

Sega has revealed it’s taken legal action against a social media user for harassing one of its employees, warning that it will continue to pursue legal remedies or criminal proceedings should similar occurrences happen in the future.

The company – which published a Consumer Harassment Policy last year – reiterated its stance on social media harassment in a post on its Japanese website. Providing context, it explained it has been dealing with an individual who has made “excessive slanderous and insulting comments on social media against one of our employees” for a “long time”.

After the individual failed to improve their behaviour, Sega continued, the company was granted access to the person’s information through the court. Since then, it’s reached a settlemen…

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s October launch on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC inching ever-closer, Activision Blizzard has announced a fresh set of dates for players’ diaries, confirming it’ll be hosting a multiplayer open beta this September, with those eligible for early access (which includes Game Pass subcribers) able to hop in one week prior.

If you just can’t get enough of those Epic Games Store freebies, here’re some more for your list; Epic has revealed an upcoming twosome of arcade management action and Welsh folklore horror when its latest batch of free titles arrives next week. And, before that, grid-based, turn-based deckbuilder Floppy Knights is currently available to download and keep for zero pee.

Starting in the present, Rose City Games’ Floppy Knights casts players as Phoebe, a brilliant young inventor with a robotic arm for a best friend, who’s trying to save up enough money to leave home. To meet her goal, Phoebe must smash through armies of monsters using her titular tangible projections, all summoned from floppy disks. The result is a mix of tactical turn-based battling and deckbuild…

As an old person who’s still not over the novelty of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being allowed to be called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the UK without anyone getting funny about the word “ninja”, it’d be fair to say I’m a little behind on the franchise. So the news there’s a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game out this October based on a movie I didn’t know existed using an art style I’m totally unfamiliar with has brought a whole succession of revelations.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed, as the game is known, was actually announced earlier this year, but developer A Heartful of Games and publisher Outright Games have now released a first trailer, which you can see below. Mutants Unleashed – a “story-driven 3D brawler/platformer” – i…
