Three video game boxes are lined up. — Lost in Cult

Video game design studio Lost in Cult announced a new physical game label called Editions. The label will release “prestige” editions of beloved games that include original box art, 40-page booklets, and other extras.

Lost in Cult is best known for releasing books on video game through its Design Works series, as well as vinyl records featuring game soundtracks. Editions is an extension of that work, continuing the design company’s focus on game preservation and curated content. Think of the project as a Criterion Collection for video games, preserving prestigious titles and bundling them with additional context that underlines their importance to the medium.

Three games have been announced for the first wave of releases: Immortality , Thank Goodness You’re Here , and The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow . All three are critically acclaimed indies from this decade (Immortality was Digital Trends’ runner-up choice for game of the year in 2022 , narrowly losing to Elden Ring ). Each comes with a poster, art cards, a booklet featuring essays and interviews, and more physical extras.

All three are available to order now and will retail for £60. Lost in Cult will ship Editions worldwide and says that they will ship within six months, though it is targeting a three month turnaround.

At launch, Editions will only get PS5 and Nintendo Switch releases. Thank Goodness You’re Here will be available on both platforms, Immortality is getting a PS5-only release, and The Excavation of Hobb’s Barrow will be for Switch. There will be a limited number of copies to order for each platform, though Lost in Cult says that it will release standard edition versions of the game at retailers too.

Lost in Cult confirms that Nintendo Switch 2 Editions (not to be confused with … Nintendo Switch 2 Editions ) are planned for the future and those will always be “full editions” rather than Game-Key Cards.

More titles are coming soon. While Lost in Cult will skip June, it plans to release its next Edition in July for Nintendo Switch and PS5. It teases that it’s an “artful” game. Future release are planned through 2026.

The first three Editions are available to order now via Lost in Cult.

8 of the best GPUs I recommend after 200 hours of testing

RTX 3080 graphics cards among other GPUs.

With the demands of modern PC games, no less than one of the best graphics cards will do, preferably in partnership with one of the best processors. We've reviewed dozens of GPUs and spent over 200 hours benchmarking them, and these are the cards that we've tested and can still swear by despite the current state of the GPU market.

Graphics cards are not cheap right now, but the models listed below remain competitive. Some are pricier than they were at launch, but we hand-picked the ones that are still readily available and worth your money. With Nvidia's RTX 50-series, AMD's RDNA 4, and Intel's Arc Battlemage out in full swing, we're spoiled for choice, and it's all a matter of hunting down a good deal selling close to the recommended list price (MSRP).

This is the biggest problem with PS5 generation Sony needs to fix heading into the PS6

A Pulse Elite, DualSense, and PlayStation Portal sit on a table.

If you were to look at the PS5 generation on paper, you would come away thinking this was the best generation Sony's ever had. It has crushed its main competition, the Xbox Series X, in both unit and dollar sales, and is generating more revenue than any previous generation. However, dive into any community forum or social media space and you will see a very different perspective on the current lead console. No system is perfect, and just because the PS5 is on top doesn't mean it didn't have plenty of fumbles along the way.

Five years into this generation, and with rumors and leaks piling up about the PS6, everyone is focused on what technical advancements the next generation will bring. How powerful will it be? Will it be a handheld? How much will it cost? Those are all important questions we need to get answers to eventually, but I'm more concerned with Sony avoiding stepping on the same rakes it did with the PS5. It managed to pull ahead on goodwill, hype, and the competition, making bigger blunders at the start, but the same won't be true next generation. While the issues I have with the PS5 may seem disparate, they can all fall under one large umbrella: confusion.

How to join the Battlefield 6 beta

Battlefield 6

We got our first good look at how warfare is evolving in Battlefield 6 thanks to a series of new multiplayer trailers that have inspired a lot of confidence after the resounding disappointment that was 2042. However, with video games, seeing isn't believing -- playing is. EA claims this will be the most impressive entry yet, with multiple studios contributing to development under the banner of Battlefield Studios. The return of the class system, focus on 64-player battles, and unreal levels of destruction all look promising, but we will only know for sure when we get our hands on the game. The release date is set for October 10, but you can enlist early to play in the beta.
