Check out our review of Titanfall.

Respawn Entertainment is partnered with Canadian visual effects and post-production studio Playfight to develop original, live-action content set within the Titanfall universe. You can find out more at YourTitanIsReady.com, though there’s not much more right now than a non-specific press kit and a countdown timer pointing to a trailer release later today.

Playfight has some experience in the world of video games, having lent its talents to seasons one and two of RocketJump Studios’ action comedy web series Video Game High School as well as Call of Duty: Operation Kingfish, the tie-in short for Modern Warfare 3 that was developed by We Can Pretend. The studio also contributed to the Transporter series of films.

That’s all we have to go on at this point. The live-action web series Halo: Forward Unto Dawn seems like a good example to look to of what to expect here, though that’s purely speculation. We’ll find out more later when the trailer is revealed. Also: brace for Titanfall. The game is in stores on March 11 for PC and Xbox One, and on March 25 for Xbox 360.

Sony is preparing to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, ending new purchases globally by July 2027. Less than two weeks after that announcement, the team behind RPCS3 revealed a very different milestone.

The open-source PS3 emulator now lists 75% of the console’s tracked library as playable on PC. That covers 2,681 of 3,559 games, and the rating means they can be completed with acceptable performance and no game-breaking glitches.

This PS5-exclusive Game of the Year is now running on PC… sort of

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention. 

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.
