A worthy follow-up to a modern classic, Dirt Rally 2.0 offers marked improvements and a driving experience like no other. Now this is hardcore. After the 2017 detour of Dirt 4, an accessible and noble experiment in procedural track generation that nevertheless felt like it had gone too far in blunting the edges of the sport it simulated, this is a return to deep, satisfying driving with serious bite. To call Dirt Rally 2.

Fortnite's laid back Team Rumble mode has been quietly revamped as part of the game's new extraterrestrial season - and fans aren't best pleased with the changes. Tweaks to Team Rumble's relaxed formula had felt overdue, as things had begun to feel a little too relaxed in recent months and it had become common for matches to peter out towards the end. But Epic's unexplained changes - apparently designed to speed up the mode's pacing and match length - have gone overboard, fans say, and ruin the ability to use Team Rumble to check off in-game challenges.

Mortal Kombat 11 DLC has come to an end, NetherRealm has confirmed.
The studio will now focus on its next project, it said in a tweet.
The confirmation comes as no surprise to Mortal Kombat fans - the fighting game last saw new DLC characters in November last year, when Kombat Pack 2 added John Rambo, Mileena and Rain to the fighting game.
Support for Mortal Kombat 11 DLC ends two years after the game came out and with over eight million copies sold.

Level-5's latest multimedia outing makes a belated western outing in an RPG that's eccentric, exuberant and more than a little clumsy. When the 3DS died - and despite an impressive few years clinging on, I think it's now safe to say the beautifully eccentric handheld's time is finally up - alongside it died a certain type of game. Not exactly double-A so much as mid-budget and high concept, the 3DS was home to so many offbeat treats: things like Attack of the Friday Monsters, Crimson Shroud or Fantasy Life - all with lashings of charm and just as often spotty in execution, and all which came, one way or another, via Level-5.

Playtonic tightens up its nostalgic take on platforming and turns its eyes to the future. The original Yooka-Laylee quite rightly had its eyes set on the past. Pitched as a tribute to retro 3D platformers, Playtonic's debut was made by veterans who helped define the genre for diehard fans who helped fund the game's massive Kickstarter campaign. The result was suitably bright and nostalgic, if a little scrappy, with solid enough foundations Playtonic has built on brilliantly for this follow-up.

With PS5 and Xbox Series X in its hands, developer Gearbox's first port of call it seems is to give Borderlands 3 the next-gen treatment. Through a sizeable patch, the studio taps into the strengths of each machine with two modes - targeting 60fps and 120fps respectively. But how close does the game come to its performance targets and, as ever, where does Xbox Series S slot into the line-up?

The long-awaited Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War League Play launched last night, and it's already run up against a number of issues affecting players.
League Play is the ultra competitive portion of Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer that sorts players into a skill-based division and challenges them to move up a ranking ladder.
It strips the game down to 4v4 (standard multiplayer is at least 6v6), and puts restrictions on loadouts in a bid to recreate the ruleset used by professional players in the Call of Duty League.
