🖥 PC, Multi-platformAnother Highly Wishlisted Game Just Moved Its Release Date Up Because Of Subnautica 2
Subnautica 2 finally has a release date(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-steams-most-wishlisted-game-gets-release-date-amid-publisher-drama/1100-6539722/), and given that it's Steam's No. 1 most-wishlisted game currently, it's expected to command a lot of attention upon release on May 14. One developer, Square Glade Games, is getting out the game's way for its own upcoming release, Outbound. Outbound was previously set to launch on May 14, but Square Glade Games opted to move up Outbound's release date to May 11 to avoid a clash. "Even though we are very hyped for their game and big fans of the franchise, we think that it is best to not compete with such an highly anticipated title on that day," the studio said. "We need to dodge the Leviathan, which means that you can start your road trip on earlier."

🖥 PC, Multi-platformVampire: The Masquerade – Oaths And Ashes Is A Visual Novel Set In Contemporary Berlin Launching This Year
!Vampire The Masquerade Oaths and Ashes Visual Novel (https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/30/32971991/vampirepromo.jpg.webp) After last year's Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2(https://gameinformer.com/product/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2), the universe is expanding with another new game later this year, this time a visual novel. Titled Vampire: The Masquerade – Oaths and Ashes, this visual novel is set in contemporary Berlin and follows the rules of the 5th Edition of the long-running tabletop RPG. It will launch on PC via Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/4191110/VampireTheMasqueradeOathsandAshes/) later this year. Players will take on the roles of two protagonists: Alice, a Venture operative dispatched by the Camarilla faction who must keep the city's other factions destabilized, and Lenz, a Thinblood outsider trying to survive. The two form an alliance, and that relationship is the core of Oaths and Ashes, according to developer Revive The Spark, which has worked on previous Vampire: The Masquerade games before. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/30/67c4c15e/vampireoathsandashesheader.jpg.webp) Drawing from Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition, Oaths and Ashes blends branching dialogue choices with character abilities. For example, Alice can wield Disciplines to manipulate those around her while Lenz relies on a hands-on alchemy system to brew formulas that unlock new conversational paths and abilities. Your choices affect the warring factions and the greater political map of Berlin. Revive The Spark says Oaths and Ashes is for both newcomers to Vampire: The Masquerade and veterans of the World of Darkness universe. Vampire: The Masquerade – Oaths and Ashes launches on PC sometime in 2026.

🖥 Xbox, PC, Multi-platformSubnautica 2, Steam's Most-Wishlisted Game, Gets Release Date Amid Publisher Drama
Despite the legal drama playing out between developer Unknown Worlds and publisher Krafton, Subnautica 2 will soon see an early-access release. The game arrives on May 14 for PC and Xbox Series X|S. The announcement(https://store.steampowered.com/app/1962700/Subnautica2/) was made alongside a price--$30--though it's not clear if that price will then rise in the future. Those who purchase the game during the early-access period will, of course, maintain access to the game forever, including updates and content released following its 1.0 launch, whenever that happens to be. "We have plenty more in store for you all as we count down to early access on May 14," the development team said in the announcement.

🖥 PC, Multi-platformFortnite Is Adding New Star Wars Modes, And One Of Them Feels Like Battlefront
One of the ways that Fortnite(https://www.gamespot.com/games/fortnite/) is celebrating May the Fourth, Star Wars Day, in 2026 is by unleashing a pile of new user-created modes and ushering in the Star Wars era for the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Ahead of the launch of these maps, Epic Games gave us hands-on time with several of them, including a pretty compelling-looking Battlefront-style mode, a survival-horror mode in which you're hunted by Darth Vader, and a droid-themed tycoon map. Epic Games has been gradually adding items and assets from various franchises, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Squid Game, and The Walking Dead, for use in custom Fortnite islands for a couple of years now. Star Wars, however, is the biggest and most famous property to join the party so far. Creators have had access to these Star Wars assets for a little while, and they'll be able to unleash their creations starting May 1. You should expect a flood of Star Wars-themed modes right from the start–Epic says there will be hundreds. We won't presume to guess what all is in store for us from UEFN's many developers, since there's likely to be plenty of surprises on the way. But we'll take you through what we've already played, which should give you a pretty good idea of the kinds of islands that Epic believes will do well. We'll start with the one we're most excited about.

🖥 PC, Multi-platformA New The Division PC Game Is Out Right Now, And It's Free
While fans wait for The Division 3, Ubisoft has just released a new The Division game on PC, and it's completely free. Following its release on mobile, The Division Resurgence is out now on PC in early access, and you can grab it now from Ubisoft Connect(https://store.ubisoft.com/us/the-division-resurgence/62e7cc7251f14849aaca73c8.html?lang=enUS) (it's not on Steam, however). The RPG looter-shooter is set in New York City, the same setting as the first The Division game. Ubisoft said it opted for the early-access model to help do "technical testing" ahead of the 1.0 launch in August. The game supports cross-saves and cross-progression between the PC and mobile editions. Resurgence features the franchise's PvPvE open-world Dark Zone area, while there is also a PvE campaign that Ubisoft says sheds more light on the events surrounding The Division 1 and 2.

🖥 PC, Multi-platformValve Is Forcing Microsoft To Make Significant Improvements To Windows Gaming Performance - Report
It might still be the overwhelming favorite when it comes to PC gaming, but there's no arguing that Microsoft has allowed Windows to get worse and worse over time. It's accelerated a migration to Linux, especially with Valve's efforts to streamline gaming through continued work on Proton and SteamOS. Microsoft understands it's behind, and reportedly has a plan to catch up. A report by Windows Central(https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/what-is-windows-k2-everything-you-need-to-know-saving-windows-11) details what Microsoft is calling Windows K2. It's not a standalone version of Windows that is meant to replace Windows 11, but rather an initiative that will slowly roll out significant changes to the operating system in a bid to reclaim customer trust and overhaul many key aspects that have become pain points over the past few years. Gaming is unsurprisingly a big focus for K2, with Microsoft reportedly acknowledging that SteamOS is now the benchmark it needs to aim for. The report doesn't go into detail, but mentions that Microsoft is looking to bridge the performance gap between Windows and SteamOS in two years, when comparing performance on identical hardware. That's a good target, especially considering how many of SteamOS performance wins are coming from Windows games running through Proton's translation layer--something that is meant to traditionally negatively impact performance, not improve it.
