-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Team Fortress 2 Just Smashed Its All-Time Concurrent Player Record Following Major Summer Update

-

Valve’s 16-year-old multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2 just broke its all-time record for concurrent Steam players following the release of a major summer update.

Team Fortress 2 is currently being enjoyed by 247,449 concurrent players, making it the third most played game on the platform behind only Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (925,156) and Dota 2 (468,947) according to engagement tracking website SteamDB.

This week’s figure, which is still climbing at the time of writing, dwarfs Team Fortress 2’s previous concurrent player record of 167,951 set back in December 2022. The recent surge in interest coincides with the release of a major summer update earlier this week which brought a wave of new content and tweaks to the game.

Earlier this year Valve announced that it had big plans for this year's summer update and put out a call for Steam Workshop creators to submit their work for consideration to be included in the offering.

The update, which went live on July 12, saw the addition of 14 new community maps to the cult title alongside fresh taunts, war paints, stability improvements, and tweaks to existing levels and numerous other improvements.

Team Fortress 2 has suffered its fair share of ups and downs over its lifespan including a prolonged bot problem that galvanised the community to rally together and call on developer Valve to save the game. The campaign saw Valve publicly acknowledge the issue and the developer has since released a number of updates and fixes. As it stands, Team Fortress 2 has a 93% positive rating from the over 8,600 Steam reviews that have been posted in the last 30 days.
