About Kyle Knight

After completing a degree in Film, Television, and Cultural Studies at Manchester Metropolitan University, I decided to pursue my love of writing and video games by entering the world of video game journalism in 2021. I first contributed to FinalBoss before freelancing at DualShockers. I was then offered a full-time position at the site and would eventually go on to become a news editor. After three years at DualShockers, I now contribute as a news writer for GameRant, bringing readers the latest details on AAA shooters like Call of Duty, ARC Raiders, and Battlefield 6.

I've been playing shooters like Call of Duty for two decades, accumulating thousands of hours that give me a genuine understanding of the genre. This experience ensures that my reporting on these titles reflects both technical detail and the perspective of a long-time player who knows what truly matters to the audience.

During my time as a journalist, I have interviewed developers and game directors, reviewed some of the year's biggest releases, attended preview events for huge AAA titles, and occasionally ranted about my love/hate relationship with Call of Duty.

Favorite Games

As I mentioned previously, I'm a first-person shooter fanatic who can talk about Call of Duty, Apex Legends, Titanfall, or Battlefield for hours and hours. But, with that being said, I do also love a good RPG, such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance, or an action-adventure title like Assassin's Creed. I'm also a sucker for a good indie hit, such as Megabonk or Vampire Survivors. Or, the lesser-known, Definitely Not Fried Chicken.

Favorite Console

I'm a PlayStation boy, through and through. I'll always gravitate towards my PS5, but I've also built myself a gaming PC with an RTX 4070Ti Super and an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, so both have a special place in my heart.

Industry Focus

I've specialized in news writing for five years, developing the skills to deliver high-quality news to readers in a timely manner. I regularly write about major breaking news stories, such as Microsoft's groundbreaking acquisition of Activision Blizzard, as well as game updates for fan-favorite titles like ARC Raiders. I also stay up to date with the FPS community, reporting on players' biggest gripes, the biggest talking points of the moment, and ensuring players' voices are heard.
