Switch’s Joy-Con controllers have become notorious for their struggles with “drift”, to the point that lawsuits have been launched over the issue, the EU has pledged to investigate, and Nintendo’s president has even formally apologised. A new report, though, shines additional light on the extent of the issue, claiming that Nintendo’s US arm was receiving “easily thousands” of faulty controllers a week for repair at the height of the problem. That’s according to a new report by Kotaku, which, citing a former supervisor at the Switch repair facility (run by United Radio under contract with Nintendo), claims the volume of…
When Sony finally confirmed its long-rumoured PlayStation Plus revamp back in March, it slapped a rough June launch window on the service, promising additional details to follow. And now it’s delivered, giving the overhauled subscription service a launch target of 22nd June in Europe and 13th June in the US.

The new game from Flavourworks, the studio that brought us FMV-style game Erica, arrives today, and it’s called Hush – Crane and is available free from Google Play and the App Store. Hush – Crane is pretty short, around 20 minutes or so, and is very similar in many ways to Erica – a movie-like game you can touch to interact with, and a game I really liked. Hush – Crane follows a kind of hitman, or gangster – someone working for an underworld organised gang – who ends up tangled in a love affair with someone who’s not all…

That’s according to the ever-leaky Jeff Grubb, who shared some fresh Skate 4 morsals from his sources during the most recent episode of his Giant Bomb show Grubbsnax. As transcribed by VGC, Grubb began by saying early word on the game appeared to be…

Marvel’s Moon Knight is the latest Fortnite crossover, coinciding with the character’s so-so new Disney+ show. Fortnite has played host to countless Marvel characters before, of course, typically timed around their appearances on the big screen or TV shows (the current battle pass includes Doctor Strange, while we were treated to Hawkeye and Kate Bishop late last year). Moon Knight’s rather fetching skin includes a style with/without his cloak, and an additional style for his Mr. Knight persona.
