About Fairgate Report

Fairgate Report is an independent digital news site about video games. Players look up the same questions every week: when a game comes out and on which platforms, what PlayStation Plus and Game Pass add this month, which games are free to claim, when a sale ends, and what the latest Counter-Strike 2 update changed. We answer those questions clearly and quickly, from the companies' own announcements and the outlets that report them, and we link every fact to where it came from.

What we cover

• Games and release dates: announcements, release dates and delays, showcases such as State of Play, Nintendo Direct, the Xbox Showcase and The Game Awards.
• PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and PC: consoles, system updates, Steam and PC hardware, and the platforms' own games.
• Free games and deals: the PlayStation Plus monthly games and catalog, Game Pass additions, games free to claim, and big store sales with their dates.
• Counter-Strike 2: Valve's updates and patch notes, operations, maps, cases and skins changes, and the Majors.
• Guides: practical how-tos from the platforms' own help pages, such as refunds, subscriptions, codes and account security.

We do not report leaks or rumours as news, and we never promote piracy, cheats, skin gambling or betting. Older stories on other topics remain in our archive.

How we work

We track public search and news trends in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia to see which stories readers are looking for. Each article is written from named, reputable sources such as official announcements, leagues, companies and established news outlets, and those sources are listed at the end of the story.

We use AI tools to help draft articles from those sources. Before publication, every draft is checked claim by claim against its sources. Stories involving crime, courts, health, deaths, politics or events still in progress are never published automatically; they wait for an editor or are not published at all. The details are in our editorial policy.
