Your games could disappear overnight. The campaign to prevent this is failing

4 days ago | gamepressure.com | Jacob Blazewicz

The fight against "killing" video games may fail even before the closure of the citizens' initiative, which didn't even gain half of the required support in the European Union. In theory, there is over a month left until the end of the campaign, but let's be honest: a miracle is needed to collect the required number of signatures. In December 2024, the first requirement was met: the minimum support threshold was reached in 7 EU member countries.

„We are sad.” CEO's apology didn't particularly help new shooter, fight continues over Splitgate 2 future

4 days ago | gamepressure.com | Jacob Blazewicz

The developers of Splitgate 2 announce layoffs after the release of the full version of their online shooter. 1047 Games' FPS debuted... rather not with a bang. Having almost 26,000 peak Steam users for a free-to-play game is a pretty good result, but it's not enough to compete with the multiplayer giants or make it to the top 100 most popular games on Valve's platform.
92% positive reviews on Steam. That's how much praise the return of the 26-year-old adventure classic has earned

The remake of the late Benoit Sokal's adventure game didn't become a bestseller, but Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy gained recognition from players, and the creators of the refreshed title thanked everyone for the positive feedback with a new trailer. The adventure game from 1999 is definitely not the most famous and best-rated work of the Belgian cartoonist, but it also did not bring shame to Sokal.

GTA veteran's new game crashes to the bottom. MindsEye is the worst-rated title of the year

1 week ago | gamepressure.com | Jacob Blazewicz

MindsEye received a less-than-honorable distinction: it is currently the worst-rated game of 2025 on Metacritic, although with a modest number of reviews. The first game from Build a Rocket Boy studio had a standout debut, even among launches that even the most optimistic wouldn't call successful.
Masked player defeats pro in Tekken 8 tournament, then gets disqualified

Disqualification from the tournament for throwing toilet paper after defeating an elite player—that's the notoriety "Dr. Doom" has gained for himself in Tekken 8 last weekend. However, the rumor slightly misses the truth. Competition always stirs up strong emotions, whether it's in traditional sports or e-sports. Fighting game tournaments such as EVO, CEO, Dreamhack, or Supernova are certainly filled with intense emotions, especially with the legendary "Evo Moment 37" leading the way.
