  • American Gaming Landmarks: America 250 | FOX on Games - Video Game News & Industry Analysis
    2026/07/04
    To celebrate the America 250 milestone, we’re getting into the spirit with a virtual tour through our nation’s history and landmarks. We look back at how Assassin’s Creed III puts you in the middle of the American Revolution, how Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 offer a dark, post-apocalyptic vision of our national identity, and why the floating city of Columbia in BioShock Infinite provides a unique steampunk "what-if" story set in the aftermath of the Civil War. While these games aren't historical textbooks, they remain a fantastic way to explore the spirit of our country's most famous settings.

  • California's 'Stop Killing Games' Bill & The Digital Ownership Debate | FOX on Games - Video Game News & Industry Analysis
    2026/07/03
    California is considering a bill that would force developers to alert players before sunsetting live-service games and offer options like offline patches or community-hosted servers. While the ESA argues against mandates for community servers, citing piracy concerns, players are increasingly questioning whether they truly own their digital libraries. Amid this debate, Sony has announced that its consoles will be entirely digital-only by 2028, packaged with download codes rather than physical discs. Finally, we interview AI engineer and venture leader Jeffrey Scruggs about his journey from classic handheld gaming to developing modern neural networks and his mission to fund the creators of the future.

    2026/06/28
    Preorders for the November 19 release of Grand Theft Auto 6 are officially live, and retailers are already warning that high demand will likely outstrip physical supply—though reports suggest these "physical" copies may simply be digital codes in a box. Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced another price hike for its hardware, with the Series S rising to $500 and the Series X reaching $800. In industry news, Bungie is facing a second major blow as the studio lets go of nearly 300 staff members, impacting both the core Destiny 2 team and the developers working on the upcoming extraction shooter Marathon. We break down these major shifts and what they mean for the future of these iconic franchises.

  • Ubisoft Co-founder Death & Steam Machine Pricing | FOX on Games - Video Game News & Industry Analysis
    2026/06/27
    The gaming world is in mourning following the death of Ubisoft co-founder Claude Guillemot, who was killed in a plane crash in western France at the age of 69. Guillemot, a key figure in the family-led company behind the Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry franchises, was piloting his twin-engine Cessna 421 when the accident occurred. In other news, Valve has officially unveiled the pricing for its highly anticipated Steam Machine, which departs from the traditional "loss leader" console model. Starting at $1,049 for a 512GB model and reaching up to $1,428 for a 2TB bundle with a controller, the device is positioned as a premium Linux-based gaming PC rather than a subsidized console.

    2026/06/26
    The global games market has reached a staggering $200 billion, marking a 10% increase over the previous year. While we celebrate this growth, we must also warn you: there is no GTA VI beta or PC release currently planned, and any site claiming otherwise is likely distributing malware. In our featured segment, we go beyond the digital screen to talk with Brian David-Marshall, a veteran of Magic: The Gathering, about his new indie TCG, Cataclysm Arcade, designed to be playable from a single booster pack. Plus, we cover the upcoming Honkai: Nexus Anima beta test and highlight the free titles hitting PlayStation Plus, Game Pass, and the Epic Games Store this week.

  • "Stop Killing Games" EU Initiative & Palworld AI Stance | FOX on Games - Video Game News & Industry Analysis
    2026/06/21
    Roblox is overhauling its safety protocols with a massive launch of new features aimed at protecting its youngest players. Moving away from the honor system, the platform is deploying AI-powered facial scans and age estimation to verify user identity. These changes include disabling chat entirely for children under nine, while users aged nine to sixteen will be restricted to chatting only with verified peers or trusted friends. We explore these new technical standards, the enhanced parental tracking tools for monitoring screen time and friend lists, and why Roblox's Vice President of Safety Product Policy, Eliza Jacobs, hopes this "gold standard" approach will encourage other platforms to abandon simple text-based age checks.
