Bulkhead Interactive has quietly disabled Steam Family Sharing for its multiplayer FPS Wardogs, a move that comes amid ongoing community discussions around cheating and anti-cheat measures in the game. The decision removes the ability for players to access the game through a shared library, effectively requiring each player to purchase their own copy.
Insomniac Games has rolled out a hotfix for its PS5 exclusive Marvel's Wolverine that tones down one of the game's most polarizing features: the scent trail mechanic. Used to visualize Logan's heightened sense of smell, the trails quickly earned the unflattering nickname "fart gas" or "fart cloud" among players and critics alike, who found the visual effect far too garish and immersion-breaking. The update makes the trails "less intense," reducing how blatant and obtrusive they appear during gameplay.
The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut RPG from Rebel Wolves, the studio founded by Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, has quickly become one of 2026's most talked-about games. Now, the conversation has taken an even more remarkable turn: the game was developed on a budget of just $40 million, a figure that feels almost absurdly modest compared to the nine-figure price tags routinely attached to AAA productions from the industry's biggest studios. The news has sent ripples through the gaming community, with outlets noting that the game punches well above its financial weight and sits comfortably among the year's top RPGs.
Remedy Entertainment's long-awaited open-world action-RPG Control Resonant is officially out, and early reviews are painting it as one of the studio's finest achievements. Critics have praised the game for pushing the mind-bending design philosophy of the original Control to new extremes, with Rock Paper Shotgun calling it "a superbly strange action-RPG that'll make you feel tiny and godly at once," and PCGamesN going further still, declaring it a flat-out "masterpiece" and a "kaleidoscopic ode to creativity." Eurogamer also weighed in positively, highlighting the game's signature surreal atmosphere, while the broader critical consensus suggests Remedy has delivered something genuinely singular in the action-RPG space.
If you want to work on Wardogs, you had better have the Steam hours to back it up. Bulkhead Interactive boss Joe Brammer has revealed that the studio checks the Steam profiles of every prospective hire to verify that they have a genuine passion for first-person shooters. The reasoning is straightforward: Brammer wants people on the team who actually play and love the genre they are building games in, stating bluntly that he "wouldn't know what we're talking about" if someone without that background were brought on board.
