Depending on who you ask, autumn is either well and truly in its swing or just around the corner, but either way, you’ll never guess what: we’ve got some gaming news for you again! We remain in that lull period between Gamescom and the Tokyo Game Show, during which developers feel a touch reticent to reveal anything particularly consequential, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to pore over, of course. As usual, grab a drink, pull up your favourite chair (no, not that one, we want to sit in that one), and join us for a recap of the week’s…

We’re entering what we often think of as a lull period in the gaming calendar; between August’s Gamescom and September’s Tokyo Game Show, there often aren’t too many major announcements. Of course, as is always the case when it comes to the world of gaming, that doesn’t mean nothing is happening at all; there’s still a lot to discuss from the past week! Without further ado, then, let’s do what we always do and take a look at what’s been going on over the last seven days in the gaming world! Ubisoft confirms Rayman isn’t dead We begin with good…

If you’ve ever fumbled for your card mid-raid or watched a flash sale tick down while your bank app demanded a two-factor code, you already understand the point of game credit wallets. They’re prepaid balances tied to your gaming accounts that let you buy add-ons, battle passes, and currency instantly—no friction, no detours. Used well, they’re not just convenient; they’re a neat way to control spending, dodge sketchy checkouts, and sometimes squeeze extra value from promos. What is a game wallet, really? Think of a wallet as a sealed jar of money that sits inside an ecosystem—console, launcher, publisher, or…

It’s impossible to compile a list of the best games to check out in September 2025 without mentioning…”that” game, and don’t worry, we’ll be including that in the rundown. However, while Hollow Knight: Silksong certainly looks set to dominate the conversation for the next few weeks, there’s plenty of other stuff out there if you’re not a Metroidvania fiend. With that said, then, let’s take a look at some of the best games you can check out for the remainder of September! Metal Eden (PC, PS5, Xbox Series – September 2nd) If you played and enjoyed 2017’s slick twin-stick shooter…

Well, regardless of time’s continued insistence on linear motion, we’re not going to be boring you with details of what the weather was doing this week; instead, we’re moving straight on to the gaming world. Without further ado, grab a drink as you usually do, pull up that chair that’s become so well-worn over our time together, and let’s once again take a look at what’s been…

Pretty soon, we’re going to need more than one hand to count the number of heatwaves this summer is bringing here in the UK, but we might finally be out of the woods after this week, so to speak.

We here at Gamerbolt never tire of talking about the weather; it must be in our DNA, British as we are. As such, we’re pleased (or perhaps sad?) to report that it seems like the current crop of hot weather is over. Of course, we also feel like we’ve typed those words before, so there’s every chance we’ll see another warm week wash over us in due time. For now, though, we’re free to enjoy our gloomy, overcast normality. We’re not here to talk about the weather, though; we’re here to talk about gaming, and there’s lots to talk about,…

Draw up a chair, grab a drink, and let’s take a look at what’s been occurring in the world of gaming over the past seven days or so! Metroid Prime 4 delay speculation builds…

As we enter the eighth month of the year, the gaming world looks just as volatile and unpredictable as it has done for the last couple of years. It’s almost impossible to predict which studio will be hit by layoffs or outright closures next, and whether certain studios will survive the year, even if they enjoy certified successes. We don’t mean to start out on a depressing note, though; there’s plenty of positive stuff going on in the gaming industry as well. Let’s take a look at what’s been happening in that very world this week! Amazon’s God of War…

The final month of this year’s summer is here, and with it comes Gamescom, a fairly major event in the calendar that sees many publishers and studios showing off their best work. Of course, there are still plenty of great games to look forward to this month; there may be shadowdrops (sudden releases) during Gamescom, but you’ll have lots to keep you busy even if there aren’t.

The summer winds on, and thankfully (or sadly, depending on your disposition), we haven’t had another whiff of the heatwaves that threatened to manifest throughout the season earlier this month. Of course, you didn’t come here to talk about the weather, as quintessentially British as that is; no, you came to hear about gaming news, and it’s a gaming news roundup we shall provide. Once again, then, without further ado, pull up a chair, grab a drink, and let’s talk about what’s been happening in the world of gaming this week! The Chinese Room ditches parent company Sumo Group This…

It’s been another eventful week in the world of gaming news, and while we’re anticipating an even more eventful one this coming week (Pokemon Presents, anyone?) there’s still plenty to pore over. Whether it’s fun stories about retired race horses, this month’s Game Pass lineup, or greenlit TV shows, the gaming news world is just as active as it’s ever been, even though we’re in a lull between major events.

In any case, grab a drink, pull up a chair, and let’s talk about what’s been happening in gaming over the past week! Arkane…

The UK seems to be in the grip of multiple heatwaves right now; like the economy (oho, satire!), they’re advancing and receding with clockwork regularity. The world of gaming news is much the same; while there are days when not much happens, they’ll often be followed by flurries of activity, and it can be hard to keep up with what’s going on. That, of course, is where we come in! As usual, we’re about to embark on our weekly summary of the world of gaming news, so without further ado, let’s get started! Donkey Kong Bananza is being made by…

After the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, you’d be forgiven for thinking that July looks like a quieter month for game releases. It turns out that the opposite is actually true; there’s so much good stuff coming out in July that we’re not even sure we’re going to get much of a chance to catch up with June’s haul. Without further ado, then, let’s take a look at the best games coming your way in July 2025. We reckon these are probably worth your time, and you won’t even have to put your Switch 2 down for some of…

Just when we thought the UK had escaped the worst (or best, depending on your perspective) of the hot weather this summer, another heatwave sweeps in and knocks everyone off their sun loungers.

It’s summer show season in the gaming world, and so you can expect a slew of new announcements and updates on existing games this week. Regardless of the year, it’s never difficult to find someone who says shows from the likes of Xbox, PlayStation, and Devolver Digital were disappointing, but we think there’s plenty to chew on this year, at the very least. It’s not all about the shows, either. Let’s take a look at what’s been happening in the gaming world this week, both within Summer Game Fest and without! A new single-player Dungeons & Dragons game is coming…
