News Desk

Ben Wright is GameBrief's byline for launch-day and patch-day coverage of PC games, from solo indie projects to AAA releases. The desk checks release dates, prices and patch details against the official page before anything publishes, names the source next to each date and number, and flags what is still unconfirmed instead of smoothing it over. Dates, numbers and quotes are traced to a source before anything publishes.
