Star Wars Old Republic Online Now FREE!
Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) based in the Star Wars universe. Developed by BioWare Austin and a supplemental team at BioWare Edmonton, the game was first announced on October 21, 2008, at an invitation-only press event. The video game was released for the Microsoft Windows platform on December 20, 2011 in North America and part of Europe. Early access to the game began one week before release, on December 13, 2011, for those who had pre-ordered the game online; access opened in "waves" based on pre-order date.
Although BioWare has not disclosed development costs, industry leaders and financial analysts have estimated it to be between $150 million and $200 million, making it the then most expensive video game.[9][10] The post was later taken over by Grand Theft Auto V, with an estimated cost of $265 million.[11] The game had 1 million subscribers within three days of its launch, making it the world's "fastest-growing MMO ever".[12][13] However, in the following months the game lost a fair share of its subscriptions, but has remained profitable.[14] The game has since adopted the hybrid free-to-play business model with remaining subscription option.

Fanatical's New Wholesome Collection Includes Up To 18 Cozy PC Games
Posted on Monday April 06, 2026
Looking for your next chill and cozy gaming session? Look no further than Fanatical's Build Your Own Wholesome Collection bundle. Like previous Fanatical bundles, you choose from a curated list of games, and the more you add to your bundle, the more you'll save. With the Build Your Own Wholesome bundle, there are 18 games to pick from. The deal starts at 3 games for $10, and you can pick any of the available games. If you want 5 games or more, they'll discount to $3 per game, and if you get 7+ games, they'll drop to $2.85 per game. If you grab all 18 games, that's a $277.82 total value for just $51.30.
We have a detailed breakdown of all 18 games at the end of this article, but for fans of specific genres, we'll break down what you can expect. For puzzle fans, Dogpile is an adorable match-two game where, when you put together two matching dogs, they'll combine into one, much bigger dog. As a dog lover, this game alone was enough to get me to whip out my wallet. There's also Escape from Mystwood Mansion, a first-person puzzle game that (you guessed it) sees an attempt to escape from the creepy Mystwood Mansion by deciphering codes and solving riddles.
For you RPG heads, Rekindled Trails is a quaint adventure game with light RPG mechanics that emphasizes exploration, fishing, cooking, mining, and pretty much anything else you'd expect from the genre. You'll also solve puzzles and help rebuild the various towns of Aurteris after a calamity. If you prefer a more traditional fantasy flavor of RPG, Swords 'n Magic and Stuff is a relaxing open-world co-op game where you and a few friends can delve into dungeons using one of six different character classes. There are over 1,500 items to loot and kit your characters out with, and like any good cozy game, it has plenty of crafting and sim mechanics for you to rest your feet after a long day adventuring.
As mentioned above, there are 18 total games to pick from in the Wholesome Collection. Check out the full list below, or at Fanatical's online store. All games purchased in the bundle are delivered as official Steam keys--but make sure you redeem them soon, as the keys will eventually expire.

Posted on Monday April 06, 2026
Humble has just unveiled one of its best Humble Bundles ever in terms of pure bang-for-buck: The Humble 15 for $15 Bundle is now available on Humble's official website, and as the name suggests, it gives players access to a total of 15 PC games (a $158 value) for just $15. Even better, proceeds from sales of this bundle go to Comic Relief, a UK-based charity that helps connect families living in impoverished communities with healthy food, doctor's visits, and after-school programs.
Unlike most Humble Bundles, the 15 For $15 Game Bundle doesn't feature a pay-what-you-want option or tiered pricing, though players can pay more than $15 to donate additional funds to Comic Relief.

Among this bundle's offerings are some seriously well-reviewed indie titles, including Distraint: Deluxe Edition, a 2D psychological horror game from developer Jesse Makkonen, in which players step into the shoes of a repo man who repossesses the belongings of an old woman to secure his position at a well-known company. The game is currently sitting at a 93% positive rating on Steam. Its sequel, Distraint 2, is also included in the bundle, and has even better Steam user reviews, with 96% of players giving the game a thumbs-up.
Also included in the 15 For $15 Game Bundle's offerings is Orten Was The Case, a movement puzzle game about a young boy who is trapped in a time loop and must save the world from destruction. Like Distraint, Orten Was The Case is well-loved by Steam users, with 98% of players giving the game a positive rating. These are just a few of the games in Humble's Spring 2026 15 For $15 Game Bundle--there are also 2D platformers, fast-paced shooters, fantasy RPGs, and more.

MLB The Show 26 Celebrates The Best Defensive Performance In Baseball History
Posted on Monday April 06, 2026
On April 4, the Los Angeles Angels played the Seattle Mariners in an early-season matchup that ended with an underwhelming 1-0 score. If you look at the batting and hitting stats, there wasn't anything particularly notable about the game, but Angels right fielder Jo Adell managed to do something that had never been done in the more than 150 years of professional baseball: He robbed three home runs in one game. Naturally, MLB The Show 26 is paying tribute to Adell's achievement with a Supercharged player card.
The Show of Jo Adell!!
— MLB The Show (@MLBTheShow) April 6, 2026
Not 1, not 2, but 3 HR robberies!!! 😇😇😇
Jo gets🔋#Supercharged🔋in MLB The Show 26 for the next 3⃣ days!#MLBTheShowSC | #RepTheHalo https://t.co/CSDVqG0wTL pic.twitter.com/kAW8MsIiMM
If you happen to have a Jo Adell card in your Diamond Dynasty lineup, his overall rating has been temporarily improved from 80 to 92. His hitting attributes have been improved substantially, which is a nice bonus, but his fielding is where the biggest boosts are. The "ability" category within the fielding attribute has gone up from 50 to 90, while his speed has also gotten a nice boost. You have roughly three days to make use of his boosted stats before they go back to their normal level.
After spending time in center field and struggling, his shift to right field is clearly working out, as evidenced by the game this weekend. After robbing two homers by timing his jumps at the wall--not easy, mind you--Adell's third home-run robbery of the night came on a ridiculous dive into the stands near the foul pole. You can see all three catches for yourself below.
Alongside these special situations, MLB The Show 26 also lets players vote on who should be Supercharged next. Most recently, it let players pick one hitter and one pitcher to get the next boost. You can vote for yourself at the official website.
This New Game Might Scratch That GTA 6 Itch, Just Don't Expect A GTA-Sized Experience (Or Price Tag)
Posted on Monday April 06, 2026
The debut title from Just Cause developer Christofer Sundberg's new studio Liquid Swords launches this week, and the launch trailer has arrived. The game is called Samson: A Tyndalston Story, and at a glance, it looks like Grand Theft Auto without guns.
The $25 game has players taking on the role of Samson, a man who "learned violence before he learned mercy." The game has a debt system where Samson must pay off mobsters after a heist goes badly, and his sister is being held for collateral. Players have a payment quota, and deadlines to meet, with the debt interest growing if missions are unsuccessful.
Samson can earn more than 25 upgrades to improve his brawling and driving skills. The game does not give Samson any guns, but he can drive weaponized cars to get jobs done. The game has multiple open-world districts and NPCs that remember your past behavior.
Samson launches on April 8 through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Liquid Swords developed and is publishing the game. There is a $30 Supporter Edition as well, and it comes with digital extras like wallpapers, the soundtrack, concept art, and a 3D printable version of Samson. The game has not been announced for console, but GameSpot has reached out to the team to ask about it.
Samson launch times
April 8
- 6 AM PT
- 9 AM ET
- 3 PM CEST
- 10 PM JST
Liquid Swords describes itself as a "no-nonsense" game studio, with Sundberg saying modern game development has become overwhelmed by "distractions that affect quality and motivation."
Upheaval at Liquid Swords and GTA comparisons
In February 2025, Liquid Swords laid off staff in a move that Sunberg said was necessary to ensure the developer's "long-term stability." Liquid Swords was founded in 2022 after Sundberg left Just Cause studio Avalanche.
Liquid Swords laid off half the development team, Sundberg told PC Gamer, and this resulted in the studio needing to pare back its vision for Samson. "We just shelved those features and saved them for the next game, depending on the success of this," Sundberg said. "So a lot of those more heavy RPG systems sit there waiting to get back into the game. Maybe for a sequel, or for post-launch--I don't know, really."
As for the comparisons to Rockstar's GTA series, Sundberg said people may love GTA, but they may not want to play it forever and ever; that's where Samson could find its place.
"There are times when you want to put GTA down and pick up something else," Sundberg said. "And so I see Samson as being like back in the day when action movies were 90 minutes long, not over two hours. I keep on going back to watching Die Hard and Ronin and First Blood and Rambo. I think there's a space for us there, and that's where I want to end up."
Save Over $150 On These Premium Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones
Posted on Monday April 06, 2026
If you're in need of a high-quality pair of over-the-ear headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM5 premium noise-canceling headphones are currently available on Amazon for $248 (was $400) for a limited time. The deal applies to all four color options: Black, Midnight Blue, Smoky Pink, and Silver. Regardless of which colorway you pick, these are an excellent choice for noise-canceling headphones even at full price, and are practically a no-brainer at this discount. And they're also marketed as the "official headphones of the NFL", whatever that means.
Noise-canceling headphones like these are great for any occasion. They're excellent for music, movies, and TV, and their active noise canceling is perfect for isolating yourself for immersive single-player games. That said, they also come equipped with four beamforming microphones, making them viable for online voice chat in multiplayer games. They're also designed for long-term use, featuring padded, soft leather ear covers and 30 hours of battery life. While the Sony WH-1000XMS5 work great out of the box, they also support the Sony Sound Connect smartphone app that lets you adjust the headphone's settings via simple touchscreen controls.

"Keeping teams together doesn't seem to matter to people, but for us it did": Star Wars Zero Company's director on what the industry can learn from XCOM 2
Posted on Monday April 06, 2026
It seems that every week we're reporting on news of another wave of layoffs at a big game studio. In March alone, we saw 1000 staff let go at Epic Games, 124 at Eidos Montreal, and over 100 at Ubisoft's Red Storm Entertainment. And those are just the ones I can name without needing to rack my brain.
In some cases, these "reorganisations" are to keep investors happy, in others they're painted as necessary for a studio to keep the lights on until its next paycheck. But every time a team loses members, they lose something that can't be replaced if the money ever begins to flow again. The shorthand and trust that develops between staff who work together for a long time, the institutional knowledge of what's been tried in the past and worked (or didn't), these only come from teams that remain intact.
Many have sung the praises of institutional knowledge and holding a team together before, but in the wake of layoffs like we're seeing at the moment, it seems worth providing an example of why letting a team mature together makes for better games.
The best videogame characters who came back from the dead
Posted on Monday April 06, 2026
Greetings, loyal Treehouse tenders and Horace huggers! Today is a bank holiday in the UK, which means we are probably asleep, but we've scraped together a little themed conversation piece article to comfort you in our absence. Specifically, it is Easter Monday, which isn't a bad time to talk about resurrection - for 'twas on Easter that the worshippers rolled back the chocolate egg from the Cave of Character Creation and discovered that the Easter Bunny had started New Game Plus.
I hope the faithful among you will tolerate this attempt at humour and proceed immediately to discussing your favourite reborn, resurrected, or revived videogame character. No, you are not allowed to object that technically, every videogame character who isn't subject to permadeath counts as resurrected, providing the player fails at least once. Pac-Man is not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
The Sunday Papers
Posted on Sunday April 05, 2026
Assuming I haven't gotten torn apart by wild boars, Sundays are for navigating the wooded valleys around Cadair Idris. I'm on a hiking holiday in Eryri till Tuesday 14th April, tramping up slopes and wading through lakes of heather without a care for the depressing world of 'high' technology. I am Going Primitive, living as my Celtic ancestors did, with naught but a smartphone and a Crunchyroll subscription to ward me against Nature's ravages. Still, I have a few moments to scurry under yon dripping crag, eat a squashed flapjack, and tell you about some things I've read this week.
Crimson Desert's latest update makes sure you can always look at Kliff's generic mug and makes running much less annoying
Posted on Saturday April 04, 2026
Crimson Desert appears to be changing quicker than a musical theatre actor that has 90 seconds to put on a new outfit before their next number is up. A new update arrived in the action RPG earlier today, bringing with it nothing particularly revolutionary, but several tweaks that'll probably make you say something to the effect of "oh nice, that'll be handy."
Have a gander at this cut Elden Ring scene showing a smidge of DLC boss Miquella's past
Posted on Saturday April 04, 2026
FromSoftware has an obvious penchant for secrets, their games are just littered with them. This is probably best exemplified in Elden Ring for the simple fact that the game is unapproachably massive, you're more than likely to find at least one secret somewhere along the line even just by accident. And four years on, the secrets continue to manifest, albeit on this occasion thanks to known FromSoft dataminer Lance McDonald, who's managed to uncover a cutscene involving Miquella. You know, that guy that Malenia mentions almost every time she kills you, and also features prominently in Shadow of the Erdtree.
