About Patchnotes

Following gaming news has become increasingly cluttered. Most enthusiast sites publish shopping deals, discount codes, hardware buying guides, and television coverage alongside actual news. Finding genuine reporting about games often requires wading through pages of commercial material.

Patchnotes filters those items out before they enter the feed. What reaches the site is actual games coverage: announcements, trailers, release dates, previews, reviews, patches, and developer interviews.

A single chronological timeline: Stories appear in the order they happen. Filters for story type, platform, game, series, studio, and event, along with search, let you focus on the consoles and titles you care about.

Daily, weekly, and monthly overviews: When you have only a few minutes, overviews summarize the day, week, or month in gaming. They are written by AI from the articles in the feed, and every summary includes citations linking directly to the journalists and outlets who reported the story. Past overviews are kept in an archive.

Overviews by email: The daily, weekly, and monthly overviews can also arrive in your inbox at 08:00 in your time zone. Sign up on the newsletter page; you can change lists, switch time zone, or unsubscribe from your account at any time.

Review scores from OpenCritic: The Games page lists the games getting the most coverage right now. Each game page pairs its news coverage with OpenCritic review aggregates, recommendation percentages, and critic quotes so you can quickly see how new releases are landing.

Direct links to original reporting: Every headline in the feed links straight to the publisher website, sending readership to the writers doing the work.
