Twitch has updated its policy on sexual harassment, and added a new category to its AutoMod tool, to improve safety on its platform.

In a new blog post titled “How we’re combatting sexual harassment on Twitch”, the streaming platform highlights clarifications to its policy.

We want our service to be the best and safest place to stream, and that means drawing clear boundaries around what behaviours are and aren’t allowed.”

However, the change that attracted perhaps the most fan ire was Respawn’s decision to begin charging real money for its battle passes, …

Outspoken former Capcom director Hideki Kamiya has said he feels a “duty” to develop sequels to cult classics Okami and Viewtiful Joe in order to finish off their respective stories.

In his latest video with fellow Capcom alum Ikumi Nakamura, Kamiya asks Capcom again for the ability to return to his former franchises.

“Creators have the duty to create sequels fans are wanting to see,” Kamiya said. “Although I sound all high and mighty, it’s been a while since I’ve moved on from Okami. But I still feel like I haven’t fulfilled my duty. So Capcom-san, please, let’s do it together.

“Same sentiments for Viewtiful Joe 3,” Kamiya continued. “I’d be more than happy.”

The video is light-hearted, and Kamiya acknowledges he is no longer anything to do with Capcom’…

While the world waits for news on Switch 2, there’s still life in Nintendo’s current aging console yet – and money to be made – as evidenced by the reveal of a Joy-Con Charging Stand.

Splitgate developer 1047 Games has today said it will launch the sequel to its surprise hit indie shooter in 2025.

The original Splitgate racked up 22m downloads, and received a positive reception to its mix of fast-paced Halo-esque combat with the ability to traverse portals, Portal style.

Modders have been hard at work since the release of Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, releasing plenty of mods to make it a little easier to complete.

That’s certainly true of this mod from FlippantTunic22 over on Nexus Mods, which replaces certain Spirit Ash summons with bosses from the DLC.

Red Barrels has a new villain, map, trials, and rig for players brave enough to re-enrol in The Outlast Trials.
As part of the first major update to the chaotic cooperative horror since it released in full earlier this year, new enemy Franco “II Bambino” Barbi is “the perverse son of New Orleans mafia don Salvatore Barbi, driven by craven entitlement, greed, and psychosexual violence fueled by his impotence and insecurities” (yikes) and “a freakish big baby obsessed with his Pacifier”.
