This has been a busy period for DLC drops, with expansions and updates that cater to very different audiences. From the story-driven continuation of Stormgate in Ashes of Earth to Indiana Jones’ latest puzzle-laden detour in The Order of Giants, players looking for more narrative content have plenty to dive into. Meanwhile, Space Marine 2 doubles down on its community identity with a cosmetic-heavy Season Pass, and Rally Arcade Classics sharpens its retro racing formula with the Precision & Chase update. Together, these releases highlight how DLC can serve very different roles – sometimes extending the story, sometimes polishing the core gameplay, and sometimes just letting fans show off their favorite faction colours – here’s a closer look at all four.

Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown preview (Gamescom)
Star Trek has had its fair share of ups and downs in gaming, but Voyager – Across the Unknown may well be one of the boldest attempts yet.

NHL 26 review
The NHL franchise has had its ups and downs over the years, but with NHL 26, EA Sports seems determined to push the series into fresh territory.

Metal Eden review (PS5)

While the premise may sound familiar to fans of dystopian sci-fi shooters, the execution blends brutalist aesthetics, cybernetic warfare, and a touch of mystery that gives the narrative its own identity.
