Counter-Strike 2 might be the biggest game on Steam, but Global Offensive is breaking player count records since it went standalone again
Anytime you're talking about the hottest game on Steam, there's an evergreen unspoken caveat: 'after Counter-Strike, of course.' CS2 is unquestionably Steam's killer app—it has well over a million concurrent players as I write this according to SteamDB, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. But don't count out the...
Valorant's Neon is "curbed" for now, but Riot says "balancing her is definitely challenging"
Balance will always be the primary talking point when it comes to online multiplayer games. There's never a silver-bullet solution: someone somewhere is going to hate that 0.1% nerf, or that 10% buff. Valorant is a game that's seen myriad OP characters come and go: remember Chamber on release, and even the original ver...

League of Legends and Valorant developers Riot Games have added an optional "on demand" mode to their Vanguard anti-cheat software. With this new mode enabled, Vanguard will only run when you fire up a game it needs to be active for, duly shutting down once you exit said game. Up until now, the only option has been the...
You can finally turn Riot's Vanguard anti-cheat off when you're not playing a game
Riot Games is making a big change to its Vanguard anti-cheat system: After an update set to go live today (and which may already be live by the time you read this) it will not launch when your PC boots up, but will instead will be "on demand," meaning it will only run when playing a game and will shut down once the gam...
New Valorant map Summit breaks some core FPS rules, forcing you to "adapt on the fly"
We've all been avidly watching Valorant's social media account over the past few days, lapping up Sage-related easter eggs in an attempt to piece together what the shooter's new map will look like. We've seen clips of a light show at Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie; a photo collage spelling out the word 'Summit' appear...
For some reason, Riot Games is creating a Valorant 'pub' in east London hosted by a British takeaway guy who likes to yell "bosh!"
Ever watched a Big John video? He's a big guy from London who films himself eating food that'd probably floor me. I watched one video where he ordered three pies and two scoops of mash potato and some swamp-like sauce. Proper hearty food he calls it, then he said "bosh", and apparently he says bosh a lot.

Valorant is Sage-posting again, and the timing doesn't seem to be a coincidence
Valorant has been dropping lore beats regarding Sage's ongoing crystallization for some time now, as the radiant gradually succumbs to her affliction. For the most part, it's been confined to data logs and voice memos in-game, but now Riot Games has upped the ante by sharing one of said narrative bites to its socials p...

Riot embraces generative AI, as it targets "wild and weird" player experiences
Riot Games' use of generative AI over the past few years has been met with criticism from fans of its games, but it doesn't seem to be slowing the publisher/developer down. On June 8, Riot employed a new Head of Experiential AI, with a view to creating "wild and weird" AI-enabled experiences, while working with develop...
Valorant players claim they're being DDoS'd mid-game, as patch 12.10 descends into bug fiesta
Valorant Patch 12.10 has been anything but a smooth ride. Between the return of Cypher's Spycam gun bug and fake Breeze boxes, it's been a while since I've seen this many major bugs in Riot Games' shooter. However, the update's biggest issue may be more sinister in scope, as players are running into unscrupulous oppone...
Valorant's Breeze gets put into timeout, and it's all because of a stack of crates
Valorant developer Riot Games has temporarily locked off Breeze, after a major map bug was posted online. Fortunately, it doesn't look like it'll be out of commission for long, and usual service should resume next patch. This isn't the first issue found in the FPS game's latest 12.10 patch that has necessitated a tempo...
