Search for the Needle codes can help you get a leg up when scouring through hay piles for a tiny needle. It's a tiresome task, and any boost that helps you clear the hay that little bit faster is a godsend, be it a useful Class skill like increased earnings or faster hay collection or some more cash to spend on better tools.

Thankfully, these Search for the Needle codes give you exactly that, usually in the form of Gems which you can exchange for Class Rerolls. Be careful, though, as you're not guaranteed a decent class, so think carefully before rerolling. Don't think before redeeming these codes, though, as they can expire at any time.

For other more general rewards that you can use across all of your experiences, then take a look at our list of the current Roblox promo codes you can use.

All Search for the Needle codes

These are all the valid Search for the Needle codes right now:

• ALIEN - 200x Gems, 200x Alien Coins

The code above is the first and only Search for the Needle code so far, as codes have only just been introduced to the popular game. I would expect future codes to grant similar rewards, though, including more Gems and update-specific coins that you can use to open update-specific chests for update-specific items!

How to redeem Search for the Needle codes

To redeem Search for the Needle codes, simply click on the Codes button on the right of the screen, indicated by the blue bird icon. Enter the code into the box and hit Redeem to receive your rewards.

Expired Search for the Needle codes

• There are no expired codes.

As the promo above is the first and only Search for the Needle code so far, you haven't yet missed out any free rewards. However, I've no doubt that this code, and future codes, will expire eventually, so redeem any promos as soon as you see them.

These Legacy Piece codes offer you a ton of rewards, including Chests, Potions, Shards, and Boss Tickets, so you can battle bosses for even more valuable rewards. To do that, though, you'll need to increase your strength and buy weapons, and these codes can help with that, too.

In this Roblox RPG, you'll adventure across a series of islands, defeating foes and destroying deadly bosses, and the further you travel, the more of a challenge they'll provide. Use these Legacy Piece codes, then, to get better weapons, better passive items, and a helpful boost of Gold.

If you're searching for more general rewards that you can apply to all of your experiences, then we've got the latest Roblox promo codes you can claim.

All Legacy Piece codes

The latest Legacy Piece codes grant loads of chests, which you can open for valuable rewards including special fish, which you can equip to grant you passive buffs. Otherwise, you'll see you can get plenty of Boss Tickets, which usually cost 10,000 Gold, so you're getting your money's worth by stocking up for future boss fights.

Legacy Piece codes are not case-sensitive, but I still suggest you copy and paste codes from my list to make sure enter them correctly, as they've all been tested as they are.

How to redeem Legacy Piece codes

To redeem Legacy Piece codes, hit the Settings button in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen and you'll see the codes redemption box at the bottom. Enter a code as it appears above and hit Enter, or the equivalent button on your device, to claim your rewards.

Dungeon Lootr codes grant all sorts of useful rewards, including valuable chests and Reforge Stones for upgrading your gear. Since loot is what we're after in this dungeon crawling adventure, it makes sense that you'd want to get as much free gear without fighting through caverns as possible, and that's just what these codes do.

The more you explore, the tougher the enemies get, of course, and to stand a chance against them in this Roblox RPG, you need the best gear, the best items, and the best class you can get. So, to help you out, I've listed the latest Dungeon Lootr codes below.

If you're searching for more general rewards that you can apply to all of your experiences, then we've got the latest Roblox promo codes you can claim.

All Dungeon Lootr codes

These are the valid Dungeon Lootr codes you can claim right now:

• LOVETHISGAME - 10x Aspect Gems new!
• COURAGE - 5x Random GM Blessing

As you can see from my list, there are loads of different rewards available for redeeming these Dungeon Lootr codes, including thousands of coins to spend on reforging your gear or with the merchant, and chests for obtaining plenty of valuable loot.

We have seen some reports of different rewards for the codes above, but those listed are what I received - it could be that some codes grant random rewards.

How to redeem Dungeon Lootr codes

To redeem Dungeon Lootr codes, you must first complete or skip the tutorial. Then, click on the Menu button on the right-hand side of the screen, followed by the Extras button, indicated by three dots and three lines. Here, you'll find a Codes button, where you can open the codes window, enter a code from the list above, hit Claim, and enjoy your rewards.

You must also join the ClickBytes community if you haven't already, but the first time you try to redeem codes, you'll be prompted to do so in-game, meaning you don't have to leave the game to redeem your first code.

EA's new Saudi Arabia owners are reportedly looking to shuffle the publisher into a new gaming giant that would combine and spearhead the country's gaming strategy.

Bloomberg reports that early considerations at Saudi Arabia, the supermajority owner in a new consortium of investors that took EA private in a deal that closed August 4, would see EA merged with Savvy Games, a group established by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) in 2021 as the bedrock for yet more billions in investment.

EA and PIF representatives evidently declined to comment on the report.

The report stresses that final decisions have not been made and are unlikely to come until, at the very least, Savvy can close the $6 billion acquisition of Chinese studio and Mobile Legends maker Moonton.

On the Public Investment Fund website, Savvy Games' stated goal is "achieving leadership status in the games industry by 2030."

"Savvy has been growing rapidly since being established, with ESL FACEIT Group, the world’s #1 esports company, and Scopely, the #1 mobile games company in the United States, under its portfolio," it adds.

If such a merger goes through, and passes regulatory scrutiny, it would put EA's sports franchises and Scopely's Pokemon Go – not to mention Monopoly Go! – in the same place.

Buying one of the largest game publishers in the US for $55 billion and then almost immediately pushing it into a merger with your other company – which you pumped $38 billion into in order to acquire some of the biggest players in mobile gaming – would, perhaps, raise an eyebrow in an antitrust case.

The considered merger appears mobile-heavy, but the PIF didn't snatch up EA just for phone games, and this move could land it one of the world's biggest gaming companies altogether.

It could also spell the end of EA as we've known it for years, if you generously assume that this takeover hasn't already settled that. The EA deal stoked fears of mass layoffs at the company, even as EA leadership insists "our creative freedom and player-first values will remain intact," and being wholly merged with Saudi Arabia's very own mobile foothold surely wouldn't settle those fears.

EA staff fear new Saudi Arabia owners will police their games: "Projects just won't get signed because they don't align explicitly with what the Saudi government wants."

Kaiju Alpha codes give huge buffs to Exp and cell generation, not only letting you power up faster, but also helping you reach any cell goal you might be headed towards to unlock new Kaiju or Skins.

Exp has a significant use in terms of getting stronger in this Roblox experience where you fight as a Kaiju against other Kaiju, and while skins don't have any benefit in combat, looking cool is part of the experience when you're playing as Godzilla or Kong. So, whether you want an Exp boost or a new skin, here are all the latest Kaiju Alpha codes.

If you're after other rewards that you can use across all of your experiences, head on over to our list of general Roblox promo codes.

All Kaiju Alpha codes

These are the Kaiju Alpha codes you can redeem right now:

• ROSE - 2x 60-minute Exp boost, 2x 60-minute Cell boost new!

As usual, the latest Kaiju Alpha code grants a boost in Exp and Cells, giving you a chance to level up your favorite Kaiju. If you're saving up cells for a new character, you can always hang on to your Exp boost for when you have it.

Codes aren't case-sensitive, but it may still be worth just copying and pasting them from above to be sure they're right.

How to redeem Kaiju Alpha codes

You can only redeem Kaiju Alpha codes from the main menu. You cannot do this in-game, and can only return to the main menu when you die or when you are not engaged in combat. When not engaged in combat, you can return to the main menu by clicking on the Menu button above your skills and waiting 10 seconds.

From the main menu click on Options, where you'll see the codes redemption box at the bottom. Enter codes from the list above and then hit enter on your keyboard or the equivalent button on your platform of choice.

Expired Kaiju Alpha codes

• KAONTOP - 60-minute Exp boost, 60-minute Cell boost
• XECRETISREAL - 60-minute Exp boost, 60-minute Cell boost
• DEAWYGIGACHAD - 30 levels
• SRRYFORBUGS - 3-hour Exp boost
• SRRYFORREVERTLEVEL - 50 levels

Kaiju Alpha codes tend to expire as new updates launch, so it's worth redeeming new codes as soon as possible so you don't miss out on these boosts.

Subway Surfers codes were once a welcome part of this fast-paced endless runner, giving mobile players various rewards including free coins, keys, and even some fresh characters to dash down the tracks with! While it's been some time since we last saw a new promo code announced, the game continues to be immensely popular and has recently spawned a sequel, so there's still plenty of attention on it and a comeback isn't out of the question. To get up to speed with the current situation, here's what you need to know about promo codes in Subway Surfers.

All Subway Surfers codes

The following Subway Surfers codes are currently available:

• No active codes

There are no promo codes for Subway Surfers that work at present, so the only rewards you can currently unlock are for completing the various in-game challenges – though there are plenty of those to keep you going!

How to redeem Subway Surfers codes

The previous in-game option to redeem Subway Surfers codes directly through the main menu has now been removed, so the only way to claim promos is to scan the above QR code or visit the official redeem page on your mobile phone. Type a code into the text box that appears, then hit the CLAIM REWARD button to be taken back to the game and see if the promo was successful.

How to redeem Raid promo codes

To redeem Raid Shadow Legends codes on PC (via Plarium Play only) and Android, all you need to do is tap the three bar icon on the left side of the Bastion screen to open the menu. From there, select the Promo Codes option and then enter a code before hitting Confirm to claim your reward.

However, you can't redeem Raid codes directly through the game on other PC formats or iPhone, so instead you need to visit the official Plarium promo codes website to claim them there. Log in to your linked Plarium account, then use the Enter Promo Code text box to type in a code before hitting Redeem to send your rewards to the game.

Remember, you can only redeem one Raid Shadow Legends promo code per day, regardless of the entry method you use, so make it count!

These Anime Dice codes grant a handsome number of rewards, all of which are useful for obtaining better characters and upgrading your best for increased earnings and better fighting abilities.

Anime Dice is a combination of some of the most popular Roblox experiences, rolling Gacha and combat into one. Not only do you need the best anime-inspired characters to rake in as much cash as possible, but you can also pit them against bosses in a combat card game to climb the tower and earn even more rewards. You'll need all the help you can to get as far as possible, so redeem the Anime Dice codes below.

If you're searching for more general rewards that you can apply to all of your experiences, then we've got the latest Roblox promo codes you can claim.

All Anime Dice codes

These are all the Anime Dice codes you can redeem right now:

• 5KCCU - 2x Lucky Spins, 5x Trait Rerolls, 5x Gems
• 1KCCU - 2x Lucky Spins, 5x Trait Rerolls, 5x Gems
• UPDATE3 - 2x Lucky Spins, 7x Trait Rerolls, 7x Gems
• UPDATE2 - 2x Lucky Spins, 5x Trait Rerolls, 5x Gems
• UPDATE1 - 2x Lucky Spins, 3x Trait Rerolls, 3x Gems
• RELEASE - 1x Lucky Spin, 2x Trait Rerolls, 2x Gems

As you can see from the list above, Anime Dice codes tend to reward a combination of Lucky Spins, Trait Rerolls, and Gems. While Lucky Spins can get you some superb rewards if luck is on your side, Trait Rerolls and Gems can be used more specifically to upgrade your best characters.

Anime Dice codes aren't case-sensitive, so you only have to worry about spelling, but you should still just copy and paste them from above if possible to avoid mistakes.

How to redeem Anime Dice codes

To redeem Anime Dice codes, you must first click on the Shop button in-game. The confusing thing is that there are two Shop buttons, so you must choose the one on the left-hand side of the screen, marked by a shopping basket icon. You can also get here by heading to the Market stall in the center of the arena.

Either way, you should then scroll to the bottom of the shop screen where you'll see the codes redemption box. Enter a code into the box as it appears above, and then hit Redeem.

Expired Anime Dice codes

• There are no expired Anime Dice codes.

Anime Dice is still a relatively new Roblox experience, so no codes have expired since release. However, I don't doubt that those codes above will expire at some point, when I'll move them down here, so redeem them while you can.

Jujutsu Zero codes award you with a variety of items to help you level up your fighting style - and you'll need to fight hard as you embark on any of the dangerous quests this fighting RPG has to offer.

This Roblox experience is also a gacha game, in a way, and you'll need to roll for attacks in special, limited-time banners. For this, you'll need Crystals, while Lumens unlock rewards in the standard banner. Both are commonly available by redeeming Jujutsu Zero codes, so take a look at the list below.

For more general rewards you can use across all experiences, check out our up-to-date list of all the Roblox promo codes you can redeem now.

All Jujutsu Zero codes

These are the Jujutsu Zero codes you can redeem right now:

• 210KLIKES - 3,500x Lumens, 300x Crystals, 35x Clan Rolls
• INFINITEVOID - 1,000x Crystals, 5,000x Lumens, 50x Clan Rolls
• 200KLIKES - 500x Cursed Crystals, 3,500x Lumens, 50x Clan Rolls

As you can see, there are loads of Lumens and Crystals up for grabs with these Jujutsu Zero codes, letting you save up to roll multiple times in both the standard and Disaster banners.

How to redeem Jujutsu Zero codes

You must redeem Jujutsu Zero codes from the main menu, which is available when you launch the game. If you want to return to the main menu from the experience, hit the Menu button in the top left-hand corner, then select Return Menu, the bottom left option. This takes you back to the main menu, where you can select the Codes button, enter your code into the box, and hit Redeem to claim your rewards.

Jujutsu Zero codes aren't case-sensitive, so you don't have to worry about that, but you still need to make sure you spell the codes correctly, so I'd still recommend copying and pasting from the list above.

Expired Jujutsu Zero codes

• CODE_LIMITED_EVENT!! - 500x Cursed Crystals, 6x Shadow Essence
• TradingUP - 3,000x Lumens, 500x Cursed Crystals
• AURA - 4,000x Lumens, 35x Clan Rolls

There are already a few expired Jujutsu Zero codes, and I have no doubt that those that are currently valid will expire soon, so be sure to redeem them before I have to move them down here.

The Veil codes can help you to expand your character options as you attempt to endure the mysterious and foreboding labyrinth that stretches ahead of you. Hordes of monsters stand in your way, along with any other players that choose chaos and take a PvP approach to their adventures instead of working together.

The promos you can claim provide free Race Rerolls, which are used to roll the RNG dice in the character creator to give you different base stats to build on, as well as cosmetic items to wear in this roleplaying Roblox experience. If you're ready to brave the labyrinth, then these are the codes for The Veil and how to redeem them.

If you'd prefer some more general promos that can be applied to all of your experiences, we've got the most recent Roblox promo codes covered.

All The Veil codes

The following The Veil codes can now be claimed:

• SORRY4SHUTDOWN – 3x Race Rerolls new!
• VERITYBOMB – 3x Race Rerolls
• RELEASE – 6x Race Rerolls, Party Hat

As you can see from the first couple of codes for The Veil, Race Rerolls are the main reward you'll receive, though this offering may expand as the experience develops. The launch promo also gets you a Party Hat to wear to celebrate the game's release as you explore the labyrinth.

How to redeem The Veil codes

To redeem The Veil codes, you first need to join the BlackstarDW Studios community group, which you should do from the Roblox menu before you jump in as I couldn't see a way to join from within the experience. Complete the initial tutorial to learn the controls, then hit the three vertical dots icon at the top of the screen before scrolling down to select the glowing Shop option.

Within the Shop menu, either scroll to the bottom or hit the Codes option on the left to jump straight to it, then use the Redeem codes here! text box to enter a promo and redeem it. Codes for The Veil are case-sensitive so type them carefully, and there is no obvious visual indication that a promo has been successfully redeemed – though you'll see any physical items awarded appear in your inventory at the bottom of the screen.

Expired The Veil codes

• No expired codes

At the moment there are no expired The Veil codes, as they haven't been part of this experience for long. It's unlikely the launch promos will stick around, so make sure you claim the active promos as soon as possible.

Following one Pokemon Champions lead's suggestion that the RPG series' turn-based combat could see more changes over time, another co-director has doubled down on the idea that the company's new home of competitive battling will allow for that traditional system to be "preserved" forever.

Although Pokemon has experimented more with its battle system in recent years – with Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Z-A offering variations between the former's Strong and Agile-style moves and the latter's real-time combat – the main generational releases and remakes (see the likes of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) have stuck closely to the turn-based format. However, Champions co-director Kazumasa Iwao recently noted that "there is the possibility that this rule could change little by little."

He went on to say that Game Freak wants to "challenge ourselves by doing new things" – raising the question of what battle system could be planned for Pokemon Winds and Waves – before adding that the development of Champions began with the idea that "it would be good to put the battle system we've constructed into one game that you can keep playing." Now, in an interview with VGC, fellow co-director Masaaki Hoshino has reiterated this concept.

Noting that he loves Pokemon battles to the point that they're "part of the reason why I joined The Pokemon Company" in the first place, Hoshino says: "I would love to keep turn-based battles around like forever, regardless of other Pokemon battle styles out there. From that standpoint, I believe that as long as Pokemon Champions is around, turn-based battles will be kind of preserved and will continue forever."

"Forever" is a word that keeps coming up when it comes to Pokemon Champions. In a group interview with Hoshino attended by GamesRadar+ earlier this year, the lead stated that "we're planning to keep Pokemon Champions going far into the future – basically forever, as long as the Pokemon series is continuing." Now that Champions is the game that official VGC tournaments are set to take place in at events such as the Pokemon World Championships, this is more than a PvP spin-off; it's the lifeblood of the competitive scene, so I certainly hope this is the case.

Pokemon Gold and Silver keep getting referenced by official accounts, and I'm willing myself to believe the classic DS remakes are coming to Switch.

Mega Sharpedo ex in Pokemon TCG Pocket has been a rising star for its rapid energy generation and strong early game, designed to disrupt enemy strategies while speeding up your own in the same attack. For this reason Sharpedo has been hanging around the meta for a while, but it's only now that we've seen it rise to previously unmatched levels when paired with the Wild Swing Gyarados and ever-reliable Chien-Pao.

For more deck builds, find out the best decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket here!

Best Mega Sharpedo ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP

To make the best Sharpedo deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, use the following build:

• Magikarp (Wisdom of Sea and Sky) x2
• Gyarados (Wisdom of Sea and Sky) x2
• Carvanha (Ruler of the Skies) x2
• Mega Sharpedo ex x2
• Chien Pao x1
• Mantyke x2
• Poke Ball x1
• Copycat x1
• Lisia x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Training Area x1
• Wallace x2

Energy: Water

This deck is all about quick deployment and building up to Stage 1 ASAP, using Lisia to draw both Carvanha and Magikarp and get them on the field, then using Wallace or card draws to evolve them. Once that's set up, you use Sharpedo to come out as your early assault, disrupting your opponents, at the same time building up for Gyarados to do up to 140 damage with its Wild Swing attack.

Not only that, but Wild Swing can be used to discard damaged Pokemon that might otherwise be a weak point. If Sharpedo is badly hurt, you can deny your opponent the Cyrus-drawn victory by having Gyarados send it to the discard pile.

• Pros
  • Incredibly disruptive early game
  • Chien-Pao remains incredibly strong
  • Solid energy generation across the board
• Cons
  • Electric decks are a common weakness
  • Gyarados can only really be used for major damage twice at most

Even after an hour spent exploring its bustling streets, I'm still not sure what Ananta is. Billed as an "open-world RPG", that descriptor does little to explain the vast hodge-podge of ideas and systems that have been crammed into this game, which in turn do little to explain how it can possibly be free-to-play given its bizarrely massive scope. A combination of anime excess and mechanics borrowed from games far more innovative than itself, Ananta stepped triumphantly out of Gamescom as the third most-wishlisted game of the show behind Warlock and The Witcher 3. But that still doesn't help explain just how many ideas it stapled together in barely 60 minutes of playtime.

My demo begins with a fight between my impossibly-handsome anime protagonist, who's concealing what looks suspiciously like the Venom symbiote from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 beneath his sharp suit. A fight with a collection of goons lets me fling manhole covers at advancing enemies, stepping up to beat them silly before flipping over them with a well-timed finishing move. I'd never played Ananta before last week, but I had no problems with the controls, because they feel very similar to those from a game I first played in the last few years. Of course, Insomniac isn't the only studio with the rights to make their combat feel that way. But later I'm given the opportunity to explore the city… by swinging through it by shooting out my arms to slingshot off buildings. Once again, it's pretty easy to get to grips with.

Ananta's web connects us all

The good news is that this isn't a reskin of a Peter Parker adventure. That's because between the fight and the exploration, I get into a massive car chase. For some of that time, I'm leaning out of a window, pumping lead into the windows and tires of an unending stream of bad-guy jeeps until each one in turn careens off the motorway or into traffic. For the rest of it, I'm behind the wheel, following an increasingly small and an increasingly unlikely route of side alleys and construction sites. Both the driving and the gunplay are solid, which is a pleasant surprise given how often something has to slip in 'jack-of-all-trades' games like this.

The car chase is only possible with the arrival of a second playable character, who pulls off a devilish maneuver to save my original hero that's only hindered by its even-more devilish use of jiggle physics as she wrestles with the gear stick. Once the chase is over, I'm able to swap to this second character at any point while I explore the city, zooming out before zeroing in on their location in a manner this time lifted from both Spider-Man and GTA 5.

My new character is a cop, and while my first can swing through the city using the tentacles extending from his arms, my second has her own power: the ability to question and detain random passers-by. The unfortunate salaryman I stumble across flees in fear when I try to arrest him after his breathalyzer test comes back clean, and the dev watching my play-session isn't much less alarmed.

The city I'm exploring in this section of Ananta is inspired by China's massive conurbations, and it gives me a sense of what the feeling of exploring the full game might be. As well as more random goon encounters, there are gyms, cinemas, and shops to explore, hinting at a vastly immersive version of just this one map. It's the most intriguing aspect of Ananta, but I get no time to explore it in detail, because the demo then sweeps me onto an entirely different part of the game.

This new section introduces new characters in a new map, with an entirely new gameplay approach. Instead of battles or exploration, it's a stealth section focused on two young sisters, and instead of taking place in a major city, I'm sneaking out of a rural temple. Not even the goons are the same – in the city I was fighting off rust-punk bad guys in leathers and Mad Max-style vehicles.

Here, I'm trying to evade organized kidnappers in sharp suits and animal masks. And once I'm free, I'm dropped into an entirely new part of Ananta's open-world, this one inspired by a quiet town in the Japanese countryside, where the gyms and cinemas are replaced by fairground games and market stalls. It's very pretty, but a complete non-sequitur to the rest of the game, with no connective tissue between the two halves of the demo.

But, I feel like that's indicative of what Ananta is. An 'everything game', where so many different ideas are thrown together so quickly and eclectically that the average player simply doesn't have time to get bored of one before they move onto another. So what if the exploration and traversal systems are lifted wholesale from games you've already seen? So what if the only thing disguising that is anime art that does nothing to reinvent those systems, and simply obscures their origins instead?

There's so much going on, so much of it taken all-but wholesale from other places, that Ananta barely holds together anything resembling its own identity. It's a series of ideas delivered better elsewhere, just good enough that it doesn't fall apart at the seams, but not good enough that those seams are holding together anything of any real worth.

As a free-to-play spin on a world that speaks to some of the ideas contained within GTA 6, I'm sure Ananta will do very well, and its anime stylings will do enough to attract and distract an impressive audience. But, after an initial bust of interest, I'm not sure that audience will find all that much to keep them around.

An-after more like this? Our games like GTA recommendations might help, and our best open world games ranking offers more huge adventures!

Xbox Cloud Gaming, once a vaunted lure for the Microsoft ecosystem, will soon cap players to 5-to-15 hours of base playtime per month based on the tier of their Xbox Game Pass membership.

In a blog post, Microsoft outlines substantial changes coming to its cloud gaming service. "Today, eligible Game Pass subscribers can stream without these monthly hour limits," it reads. But beginning in November, subscribers will only be able to stream games through the cloud for a few hours each month.

• 15 hours a month for Game Pass Ultimate
• 10 hours a month for Game Pass Premium
• 5 hours a month for Games Pass Essential

This is, you may have deduced, not a lot of monthly gaming time – half an hour per day on average. What happens when you run out of cloud gaming time? Well, you won't be able to play games through the cloud until the month rolls over. Of course, you could also upgrade your subscription to gain more time, or, in a show of "you'll own nothing and like it" rarely seen, you can buy more playtime.

"Players will be able to purchase cloud playtime hours through the XBOX Store and stream eligible games they own on supported devices," Microsoft clarifies. "This will provide another option for people who want occasional access to cloud gaming or do not want a recurring Game Pass subscription."

Microsoft says just 4% of Game Pass subscribers with heavy cloud use will be impacted by this change, which, assuming it's true to how players would describe an impact, suggests the feature isn't especially popular. This seems to tie into Microsoft's explanation for "why we're making these changes." The short version? Money.

"We're introducing this model because the cost of providing cloud gaming grows as more people use it and play for longer," Microsoft says. "Moving to monthly limits allows us to keep offering the service while continuing to invest in its reliability and performance. We understand that for some players the practical result is a higher cost."

There's no getting around the optics here. In a world where people understandably resent, and will file lawsuits over, the obfuscation around digital game purchases amid the forced decline of physical games, paying for game time hour by hour is not going to win hearts and minds. "You are running out of playtime, please buy more" is the kind of offer you'd see a gaming subreddit cook up in some hyperbolic parody poster. And, well.

Xbox won some measure of good will with a disc-to-digital feature that could save delisted games, but this cloud gaming stance has renewed fears that – gasp – companies don't have your best interests in mind and our increasingly digital age will erode consumer rights if we let it.

Xbox boss Asha Sharma won't confirm whether Project Helix has a disc drive: "We have to be thinking about efficiency and affordability."

Today's Konami Press Start showcase was relatively low-key, but there was one game showcased that absolutely blew my mind – just not, necessarily, in a good way. Konami Wai Wai World Craft is a modern reimagining of a wild NES platformer that was never released outside of Japan. Normally, I'm all about this kind of thing – but this new take on Wai Wai World seems to have transformed into Konami's take on Roblox.

Wai Wai World Craft was actually announced around last year's Tokyo Game Show, but the news seems to have flown under the radar for most Western gamers. But, well, who would really take notice? The original Wai Wai World was released for the Famicom in 1988 and was never localized globally on the NES. But its bizarre concept has helped it stand out among the vast '80s Nintendo library for modern retro enthusiasts.

The 1988 Wai Wai World is a Castlevania-style platformer where you rescue an array of characters from each of the game's major levels. The gimmick is that each level is based on a different Konami game, and the characters you rescue are the protagonists from those games, and saving them unlocks them as playable characters. You'd be able to play as Simon Belmont, or even Mikey from the Goonies – a film Konami had built a beloved video game adaptation of. In the pre-Smash Bros. era, seeing different video game franchises mashing up like this was a heck of a novelty.

Wai Wai World Craft still features an array of playable Konami characters, including Simon and Contra star Bill. But instead of old-school action platforming, this is a "UGC platform" where you create your own levels, share them online, and play with friends. In other words, it's a Roblox-like.

"In Wai Wai World Craft," executive director Hiroshi Tanibuchi explains in today's presentation, "you can use existing games as a building block and add your personal touch by changing the rules, introducing new enemies and gameplay mechanics, and customizing the stages and game world."

The building tools look similar to those in Minecraft, and everything demonstrated in the footage appears to be simple platformers. The way the multiplayer features and creation tools are presented are very similar to Roblox, but it looks like the creation tools here are far more limited. Which, uh… look, I'm no game market analyst. But I feel like a lesser version of Roblox targeted at kids far too young to remember Konami's classic IP is a concept that has some issues.

But hey, maybe I'm treating the idea too cynically, and feeling bitter about never getting an English version of the original Wai Wai World. We'll see how Wai Wai World Craft turns out when it eventually launches as a free-to-play game across PC and mobile sometime in the future.

After 31 years, one of the most beloved JRPGs on the Super Nintendo gets its first-ever North American release.

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has shared an update on his upcoming chocolatier sim Haunted Chocolatier as we approach the fifth anniversary of its announcement: the game is still happening.

Now that Hollow Knight: Silksong and Mewgenics are out, the gaming community needs a new indie that's taking ages to launch to rally around. For me, that's Little Devil Inside (which was originally announced for the Wii U, to tell you how long that's been), but I imagine there's a whole lot of people who have been desperately waiting for the next game from Stardew Valley developer Barone instead. His upcoming Haunted Chocolatier was announced all the way back in 2021.

To his credit, Barone has been way more open about the development of Haunted Chocolatier than the Silksong devs were or Little Devil Inside devs are. He's well aware that Haunted Chocolatier is "taking a long time," but he's now shared a new update on the game's development through the Haunted Chocolatier website.

"I'm still here, still making progress," Barone says, thanking the fanbase for waiting patiently, and apologizing for how long development is taking. He adds, "I've been very productive on this project lately even though I am busy with many things. Working on Haunted Chocolatier is what I'm most eager and driven to do, out of everything."

However, despite his apologies about the development time, Barone isn't stressed about it, as, "That's just how it is" He explains, "I won't compromise on the quality of the game by rushing it or releasing it too early. Then all my time would be wasted, anyway." Barone also notes that the community is supportive, adding that "I do appreciate how understanding you guys are."

"My goal is to make a game that I am proud of and personally enjoy. And I am certain, at this point, that I will enjoy the game when it is finished," Barone says. "I already enjoy playing it in its unfinished state, especially after some recent additions i made… I hope others will like it too when it’s ready."

Given that Stardew Valley has become one of the most beloved games of all time, and it has been consistently been updated alongside the development of Haunted Chocolatier, I reckon we let Barone cook – because he's right, it'd be a waste to rush the process.

Haunted Chocolatier is "way bigger than Stardew Valley," says ConcernedApe: "Everything is cranked up."

It's Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026, which means we're getting a first look at a plethora of new titles and various sneak peeks at those we've already been looking forward to – including Ananta.

In case you've not seen Ananta out in the wild before, it's a free-to-play open-world anime-style game (say that three times fast, eh?) with some heavy GTA vibes that mark it as an action-packed adventure fans of Rockstar's own beloved series won't want to miss – and it turns out it's arriving sooner than expected.

As per its new trailer showcased at Gamescom 2026, in fact, the Ananta release date is January 2027... just two months after GTA 6 drops on November 19 this year. Although developer Naked Rain and publisher NetEase Games don't provide us with a specific launch day or time just yet, that's still a pretty solid little window.

Plus, it's not all that far off now – only five months, give or take, in fact, depending on what particular date Ananta releases come January of next year.

As for the gameplay itself, it looks just as Grand Thefto Auto-y as ever, with high-speed vehicle chases, high-speed combat, and high-speed vehicular... flying?! There's a lot going on, honestly, but I'm locked in.

The anime aesthetic is eye-catching, too, if I do say so myself. The characters are all gorgeous, the outfits are peak, and the world design is impressive (from what we can see so far, anyway – and I'm not the only one loving it all, judging by the comments.

"Holy," reads one, "that’s so peak!" Another person exclaims, "I HAVEN'T FELT THIS HAPPY IN SO LONG. LET'S GOOO!"

Here's hoping it arrives sooner rather than later in January, as it's evident we all can't wait to get our hands on it – and, thankfully, it'll be on PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile platforms.

Searching for even more to look forward to? Here's our handy roundup of the most exciting new games coming this year and beyond to wishlist.

King Legacy codes have been around for a long time now, but they are still useful in this popular RPG adventure as you sail the seas fighting pirates, dragons, and other enemies. Your search for a wide range of physical in-game fruits will take you all over the map, so any help is always welcome.

The promos that are currently active provide a variety of benefits, from a significant cash injection and some free stat resets so you can respec your character to a decent period of double EXP earning in this anime-flavored Roblox experience. If you're keen to hunt down that elusive fruit, then these are the codes for King Legacy and how to redeem them.

Roblox has been in the limelight the past couple of days thanks to Steal an Egg, a pet-raising simulator that encourages users to continuously doomscroll through reels while running on a virtual treadmill Black Mirror-style – or, well, used to encourage.

Used to, because Roblox actually deplatformed the game yesterday following folks' outrage online over Steal an Egg's encouragement of short-form video overconsumption (you know, doomscrolling). At first, users weren't sure why Roblox removed Steal an Egg – but now, it all makes sense.

The company explains its reasoning in a new post, confirming that it won't allow Roblox to host such games any longer. So, what do we mean by "such" here? Well, games that encourage doomscrolling, basically.

"Effective immediately," as the Roblox developers write, "games will not be allowed in Roblox Kids and Select if they combine all of the following: A media feed (short-form videos, images, or story-style posts). A feed that autoplays, loops, or scrolls on its own. A reward, or implied reward, for continued watching."

The devs conclude with their reasoning here: "Rewarding users to consume a continuous feed of content without natural stopping points is not appropriate for younger users."

They specify what kinds of games and what sort of content isn't okay further, then, but it's safe to say that this was a pretty decent move on the Roblox team's part. Between Grow a Garden and Steal a Brainrot, there's already plenty of mind-melting content to fall under the spell of, anyway.

Comments show users happy to see the change, too. "This is incredible," reads one. "I am extremely glad that the team is making changes in response to creator and community feedback. I really appreciate how fast this change was made as well."

Another replies, "This is a genuine breath of fresh air to see Roblox actually making good decisions for the health and quality of the platform instead of whatever will pump the stock up."

The comments make sense here, considering past statements from the company, like CEO Dave Baszucki's instructing parents to simply not "let your kids be on Roblox" when they raised concerns… and seeing as it's basically the biggest gaming platform in the world now.

Fan of the virtual platform yourself? Here are some up-to-date Roblox promo codes to use for free, effortless goodies.

Runaways codes will provide you with a helping hand as you hit the streets and go on the run from the law, before the crimes you've committed catch up with you. As you try to escape over the border you can rob banks and shops along the way, pawn the loot you swipe for cash, and evade the cops so you don't end up behind bars.

The promos available at the moment will give you a fistful of Credz to spend, as well as arming you with a Light Pistol to protect yourself until you can get hold of a better weapon in this high-octane Roblox experience. If you're ready to outmaneuver the police, then here are the codes for Runaways and how to redeem them.

If you're looking for some promos with a wider use across all of your experiences, then take a look at the most recent Roblox promo codes.

All Runaways codes

The following Runaways codes are available to claim:

• SUPERCAT – Pistol (Light)
• RUN – 1,000 Credz

There are currently a couple of codes for Runaways to help get you started, providing you with some Credz cash to spend and a Light Pistol to arm yourself with. No doubt more promos will be added soon, so keep checking back here for updates.

How to redeem Runaways codes

To redeem Runaways codes, you need to select the SHOP icon on the left side of the screen, then scroll to the bottom of the menu that opens to find the CODES section. Type a promo into the Insert Code Here... text box, then hit the USE button to collect your reward. Codes for Runaways are not case-sensitive, so it doesn't matter if you use all caps or not.

Expired Runaways codes

• No expired codes

There are currently no expired Runaways codes, due to their recent addition to this experience. This situation can often change quickly though, so make sure you've picked up the active promos while you can.

Fallout co-creator Timothy Cain, whose most recent portfolio entries include the likes of The Outer Worlds 2 and its predecessor over at Obsidian Entertainment, thinks developers have a lot to learn from bad games – not just successful titles.

It's a tale as old as time, as Cain describes in his latest YouTube video (below). A game becomes a smash hit – think anything from indie to AAA, Meccha Chameleon to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – and the industry goes wild with copies or clones, attempting to recapture that same success.

This might even lead to other folks copying the bad aspects of "good" games. As Cain puts it, they may "blindly copy" them. These bad aspects could be obvious, and so they're not often overlooked – but "bad" games are, on the other hand, and that takes valuable lessons away from aspiring devs, according to Cain.

"In general," as he says, "bad games are ignored, especially if they weren't part of a popular franchise and or never sold very well." This checks out. When they're sequels of "good" titles, they're not as oft forgotten.

But, "there are so many games out there that one game came out, it wasn't very good, and it was forgotten," Cain explains, concluding, "and I'm saying you could learn a lot from games like that."

Honestly, I get what he means. I'm immediately reminded of that quote about those who don't learn from history being doomed to repeat it, and of the concept of survivorship bias – the overarching theme of the Fallout mastermind's video, actually.

In his own words, "the whole point of this video was [to] please remember about survivorship bias. The qualities of successful games… may not be those qualities which made them successful. And conversely, look at failed ones because some of the things that they share in common may be the reason that they failed."

It's a much-needed message for the industry (and any outside of it as well, for that matter).

Comments see viewers agreeing with Cain, too. "It's the slow path to eventually making the same video game over and over again," reads one. Another adds, "such a simple concept, but you're totally right, they don't ever analyze what makes a game bad."

Fallout co-creator says turn-based and real-time RPGs both have "loud vocal advocates" who won't play anything else, so devs can't please everyone.

Fortnite Cheat Codes have been introduced to replace the Sprite Chests this season, and this fresh mechanic fits in with the general gaming theme for Override. Once you discover a cheat code emblazoned on a surface, you need to match the arrow directions accurately to collect your rewards – it's not quite the Konami Code, but you know the general idea! To get up to speed, this is how Cheat Codes in Fortnite work.

Note that these cheat codes are separate to the Fortnite admin panel codes you enter on the Battle Royale lobby screen, though both provide ways to add more Fortnite Sprites to your collection.

Fortnite Cheat Codes locations

Fortnite Cheat Codes appear on surfaces in many locations around the island, and make a distinctive chime sound when you are close to them in the same way that Chests do. If you've turned on the Visualize Sound Effects option under Audio settings (which I highly recommend you do if you haven't already) then you'll see a blue glow and four arrow icon appear that will lead you to the Cheat Code. The color of it represents the rarity of the Sprite you'll receive if entered correctly, as follows:

• Blue Cheat Code – Rare Sprite
• Purple Cheat Code – Epic Sprite
• Gold Cheat Code – Legendary Sprite

Note that although Fortnite Cheat Codes can appear in the same location for multiple matches, the rarity is randomized each time – so if you find a Gold Cheat Code then unfortunately you can't keep returning to that location and guarantee a Legendary Sprite every visit.

How to use Fortnite Cheat Codes

Once you've found a Fortnite Cheat Code, approach it and follow the ENTER CHEAT prompt to start typing it in using the d-pad or direction controls. Sometimes the camera angle and visual glitches can make it difficult to read the code, so have a quick look at it before interacting so you know what you need to enter. Make a mistake and you'll have to restart, but there's no actual timer so you can take as long as you need to enter the Cheat Code.

Note: If you have one of the Cheat Master Sprites equipped, you can just mash buttons and the correct code will be entered automatically!

Earlier this year, Terraria saw the release of its long-awaited 1.4.5 update (known also as by its official name, Bigger and Boulder) – but developer Re-Logic has still been working since to patch things up.

The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and the latest serving of pudding is 1.4.5.7 – a handy, seemingly little new "hotfix" that is actually anything but little.

As outlined in the patch notes on Steam, this version of Terraria sees a plethora of additions, adjustments, and reworks land, with some including changes I (and many other fans, judging by circulating discussions online) have spent the last 10 or so years waiting to see come to fruition.

First and foremost, we've got a bunch of new items to look forward to in 1.4.5.7, from staves to accessories, and even materials like the Kinship Peach. There are also "two new secret seeds," as per Re-Logic's patch notes… which I can't wait to explore.

The real excitement (for me, anyway), though, comes from the tweaks the so-called hotfix – which truly does feel like an update – brings. Let's start with the respawn timer.

You know how when you die, you annoyingly have to wait to respawn? Well, not anymore – as long as there's "no great danger around," anyway.

And yoyos, the weapons that have arguably been universally hated and seen as, well, useless since 2015? As one fan so eloquently puts it in a post over on Twitter, they're "not ass" anymore, with buffs and specific yoyo changes like one to the Eye of Cthulhu that spawns an, erm, Eye of Cthulhu upon hitting an enemy.

There are changes across the board to classes and weapons, however, so I'd advise taking a look at the full patch notes – especially if you like playing with magic, like me.

Bosses are different now, too, with nerfs to some (thankfully, the Empress of Light is one of these), and adjustments to many. The Moon Lord, for example, has better-telegraphed attacks in 1.4.5.7, making the fight a bit less painful. The Deerclops' attacks better line up visibly as well.

All in all, it's a downright loaded hotfix, and apparently the "last" to come for the Bigger and Boulder update.

There's genuinely too much to cover here, so again, I'd recommend reading through Re-Logic's roundup – but I personally can't wait to see what's next.

Terraria's biggest mod, Calamity, is shutting down after 10 years over what the makers call a "troubled past" and "irrecoverably tainted reputation."

Fortnite admin panel codes are a new system introduced with the Override season, allowing Lobby Hacks that tie in to the general gaming theme that's now up and running.

Note that the first time you redeem an admin panel code you'll also unlock the Cuddle Team Leader Outfit Style for Wrixel, and if you redeem a code for a Sprite that you already have in your collection then you'll receive 10,000 Sprite Dust as a reward instead.

How to redeem Fortnite admin panel codes

To redeem admin panel codes in Fortnite, go to the Battle Royale Lobby in the main menu and select the .../ admin panel in the top-right corner of the screen by following the button prompt or clicking on it. This will open the fortnite admin panel, where you can type in any of the promos before hitting the SUBMIT button to claim your rewards. Fortnite Lobby Hack codes are not case-sensitive, so you don't have to enter them in all caps as long as the correct spelling is used.

These are all of the Fortnite admin panel codes that have been revealed so far, but as more are discovered I will add them to this guide.

Genshin Impact 7.0 gave players a gun and made sure to carefully tell them that they should only use it in specially designated gun zones, so obviously players have done their very best to take the gun everywhere.

The Snezhnaya region at the heart of update 7.0 introduces Shadow Realm areas and challenge zones that turn Genshin into a third-person shooter. In the Shadow Realm, the Traveler is given a spiffy new outfit and a suite of firearms, including full-auto rifles, a grenade launcher, and throwable grenades.

Chinese players quickly found a way to bring these guns out of the Shadow Realm and into the world of Teyvar, including previous regions and combat challenges. Like the cast of Persona 5, they've brought their guns to a fight with god.

YouTube user Ikoan covers one method to smuggle the Traveler's guns out of the Shadow Realm, and I've seen different exploits work for users like Ayayaya. The rub is: find a way out of bounds near a specific waypoint in Snezhnaya, clip and glide your way over to a Shadow Realm-enabled area, and then load up on ammo so you can actually use the gun out in the world.

Joined by their two best friends, Smith and Wesson, Genshin Impact players have been using their new weapons to hunt local wildlife, harass demigods, and generally menace all of Teyvat. The only problem is that, in the open world, these stolen guns deal the same damage that they do normally. The Shadow Realm is balanced around the Traveler's new weapons. All of Genshin Impact, however, is not.

Dealing 60 damage a shot is fine when enemies have, say, 500 health, and the Traveler's health pool of 3,000 is plenty when taking 1,000 damage would be considered a big hit. But when normal Genshin bosses can have several million health and hit you for upwards of 10,000 damage, suddenly guns don't look all that strong. Maybe those wizards in the old woods were right and magic really is better than technology.

Genshin Impact 7.0 livestream reveals nine more free 5-star characters for the Constellation selector, and I've already got my next four picked out.

If you can't get enough of that warm, fuzzy feeling when opening up a randomized blind box, you'll be happy to know that experience isn't just exclusive to plastic figures and Labubus. Hyperkin's Drakong brand has unveiled the PixelByte Attack on Titan Blind Box, where you have your chance to collect a mini (and fully working) controller inspired by the colossally successful anime series.

At $24.99 each, a single box contains a tiny gamepad inspired by iconic characters from Eren to my favorite potato girl, Sasha. There are seven in total to collect, and each one differs in color and design, but it's not here that you'll find representation for your favorite Survey Corps member. Instead, each PixelByte pad comes with a dangling chibi character keychain that you can use to hook up to your backpack to show off your love of anime, or give yourself easy access should you need to whip out a mini wireless controller in a pinch.

The powers that be could have easily rendered these accessories purely for show, as plenty of the best retro controllers exist as display-only collectibles. However, these are instead fully working wireless accessories that are equipped with a D-pad, ABXY, and shoulder buttons, and have up to a 12-hour battery life. There's also a USB-C port for charging, and Hyperkin has thrown in a built-in Turbo button should you need rapid-fire controls at your disposal.

While tiny gaming tech like this can be a little impractical, I've always found them handy for playing older Nintendo Switch Online NES games on the go. I currently always have one of CRKD's ATOM similarly-sized pads at arm's length, as they're neat for a quick run-through of the original Super Mario Bros when the platforming mood strikes me. Yet, what I never thought of using a tiny controller for was as a productivity tool.

The official Attack on Titan PixelByte product page states that you can set these controllers into "Productivity mode" and use them to "take photos on your phone, scroll through teleprompters, change presentation slides" and more. That makes me wonder if these would be handy for scrolling through my Crunchyroll library and getting through my ever-growing anime watchlist, and even the odd re-watch of some Attack on Titan episodes to remain on theme.

As is the nature of blind boxes, you can't pick the pad you like the best as each box carries a randomized design. You've got a 1:30 chance to pull the "ultra rare" design however, if there's a character and a gamepad you specifically want for your collection, you can alternatively grab the entire box of Drakong's adorable little anime accessories.

A whole set is available to pre-order for $149.99, and you won't get any duplicates if that's a worry. In fact, Drakong states that should that happen, you can send the extra one back, and they'll replace it with your missing design, which is a pro-consumer move I'm very much a fan of.

Whether you're after a single box or the whole set of these limited-edition PixelByte controllers, these are just up for pre-order, and I couldn't find a release date amongst the swanky photos of each controller and their adorable anime keychains. Once a date is confirmed, I'll be sure to let you know, and if I spot these at any other retailers. In the meantime, anime fans should check out the Centauri60 Asuka Edition He Gaming Keyboard.

Wonderland codes can give you a helping hand in this adventure, as you explore a creepy park full of surprises. While this place was originally built as a paradise, there are now loud noises and jump scares potentially hiding around every corner, so you'll need to stay strong if you want to survive.

The initial promo released gives you a modest amount of free Gems, which is enough to increase your balance but you'll need to earn more of them yourself before you can start buying items to help you through this scary Roblox experience. If you're brave enough to head inside, then here are the codes for Wonderland and how to redeem them.

If you'd prefer some general promos for rewards that can be used across all of your experiences, then check out the latest Roblox promo codes.

All Wonderland codes

The following Wonderland codes are available to claim:

• WORMYGOOD – 150x Gems new!

The initial codes for Wonderland unlock Gems, which can contribute towards an in-game purchase but generally aren't enough to buy anything on their own. Hopefully future promos will increase the amount of free Gems available, to give you more purchasing power.

How to redeem Wonderland codes

To redeem Wonderland codes, start off by selecting the SHOP button on the left side of the screen while in the lobby, then on the next screen hit the CODES icon at the end of the top bar. That will open the Redeem a Code menu, so use the Enter a special code here text box to type in a promo before tapping Redeem to collect your reward. Codes for Wonderland are not case-sensitive, so you don't have to use all caps for them to work.

Expired Wonderland codes

• RELEASE26 – 100x Gems

We have now started to get expired Wonderland codes, even though this whole process has only been added recently. Any promos released will eventually stop working, so claim the codes we've listed as active as soon as you can.

Fortnite Season 4 of Chapter 7 has arrived, is called Override, and there's a significant gaming legends theme running though it. There are some new named locations to check out, various tweaks and additions to the gameplay mechanics, and several flavors of cheats thrown into the mix for good measure!

As always when a new season of Fortnite comes along, a fresh Battle Pass begins with 100+ levels of characters and cosmetics to unlock, plus changes to the loot pool so you can grab some updated weapons. If you're curious about what's happened, then these are the biggest changes for Fortnite Season 4 in Chapter 7.

The map has been updated with new gaming POIs

While much of the map remains similar to last season, there are several new gaming POIs to visit. Stone Sanctum hides secrets in its ancient structure, and Reality’s Reign is where all the pipes and power cables across the island lead, though the most iconic is Sonic's Green Hill Zone where you can explore while speeding through loops. If you look closely at the map you can even see a Pac-Man island on the north side, and two Ghost islands along the south coast.

You can enter hack codes in the lobby...

If you take a close look at the updated Battle Royale lobby screen, you'll notice a prompt in the corner where you can use Fortnite admin panel codes to initiate Lobby Hacks. These will unlock new Sprites and Gizmos to add to your collection, as well as unlocking some Sprite Dust and cosmetic items, and we've got all of the codes listed in our separate guide.

...and Cheat Codes during matches

Another development for this season is the replacing of Sprite Chests with the new Fortnite Cheat Codes, which appear as a glowing series of arrows on various surfaces around the island. Interact then enter the full code correctly, and a Rare or better Sprite will spawn for you to grab.

The Battle Pass has fresh characters to unlock

As always, the Season 4 Battle Pass brings a selection of fresh characters to unlock as skins, with a gaming theme including:

• Kitty Wins
• Phantom
• Grace Crowne
• Geno
• Sonic The Hedgehog
• Mali
• Wrixel
• Bastian

Wrixel is a particularly interesting inclusion, as you can unlock various different segments for them then mix and match with color and pattern permutations to create millions of unique arrangements!

The loot pool has been updated

Of course, a new season means plenty of Fortnite new weapons joining the loot pool, and you should pay particular attention to the 8-Bit Shotgun. This has a built-in scoreboard that racks up points as you damage enemies, along with a score multiplier for landing consecutive shots on your enemies. There's also an actual 8-Bit Leaderboard in the main menu, so you can compare your best efforts to your friends.

Sprites are getting a new home

All of your previous Fortnite Sprites from Season 3 are not forgotten, as the Sprite Garden will be launching shortly to give them a new home. You can head to this island getaway and play with your Sprites, or visit friends' sanctuaries to see their collections too, and as you earn more Sprites in Season 4 they will also appear in your Garden.

Update: CD Projekt Red has confirmed the below reported layoffs impacting the team working on the multiplayer Witcher spin-off, Project Sirius.

"We adjusted the size of the Sirius team to reflect the project's needs at this stage of development," a CD Projekt spokesperson tells IGN, confirming that four Boston-based workers and five Warsaw-based employees have left the company. Meanwhile, nine other CDPR employees have been offered the chance to apply for potential roles on other projects in development at the studio.

Original story:

Perhaps standing as one of the least historically healthy upcoming CD Projekt Red games, the mysterious multiplayer Project Sirius is reportedly suffering yet another round of layoffs.

Although we don't know too much about Project Sirius, we do know it's been in the works for a solid four years now under The Molasses Flood and CD Projekt Red… and its teams have already undergone a couple of significant layoff rounds, having taken quite a notable hit back in 2023, "mainly on The Molasses Flood's side."

Now, according to Kotaku, it's all happening yet again.

Apparently, nine developers – albeit unnamed (with no specific roles disclosed) were affected by these most recent layoffs, with Kotaku stating another nine are "in the process of moving to other projects within the studio, alongside a broader shift in development strategy."

It sounds a whole lot like the layoffs a few years back, which were attributed to a "restructure" of sorts as well. Regardless, if true, it's certainly not good news.

As of now, Project Sirius largely remains a mystery in its content. The devs behind it have reworked it a few times now, and CD Projekt Red itself lifted the veil on some sort of free-to-play multiplayer Witcher RPG a couple of months back – but the studio never really confirmed that it was describing Project Sirius.

It's likely that we'll hear more about it soon, though, considering Kotaku's report and its implications.

Here's hoping we end up seeing Project Sirius come to fruition one day – and, if developers have truly been affected by layoffs again, they're able to land on their feet.

Searching for something to wishlist? Here are some of the best new games coming this year and beyond to look forward to.

The best Pokemon TCG Pocket deck for Hoopa ex is very good in the current meta, with Hoopa proving incredibly strong owing to its ability to target benches and disrupt strategies in the early game, but at the risk of hurting yourself the further you go into the late game. If you're willing to take this high-risk, high-reward strategy, here's how to make the best Dark Hoopa ex deck build in PTCGP, and what you need to know about strategies, pros and cons.

For more deck builds, find out the best decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket here!

Best Hoopa ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP

The best Hoopa ex deck in the PTCGP meta right now is made with the following cards:

• Hoopa ex x2
• Deino x2
• Hydreigon x2
• Bombirdier x1
• Cyrus x1
• Rare Candy x2
• Deceptive Needle x2
• Copycat x2
• Lucky Ice Pop x1
• Field Blower x1
• Poke Ball x2
• Professor's Research x2

Energy: Dark

Dark decks are usually all about favoring aggressive play over anything else, even to the extent of hampering the user, and that's what both Hydreigon and Hoopa ex do, both damaging themselves to either generate energy or do big damage.

It's worth it through: this is a deck that can run very early on 1 energy, and Hoopa's basic attack is incredibly powerful, especially when it comes to targeting the opponent's bench. Meanwhile, Bombirdier is a major advantage for lowering retreat costs, and the Deceptive Needle doubles down on that early advantage by inflicting chip damage on opponents.

Want an alternative Dark build? Check out the best Mega Absol ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, or the similar Zoroark ex deck.

• Pros
  • Very good early game that also hits the bench
  • Hydreigon remains a low-cost powerhouse
  • Versatile but simple strategies
• Cons
  • Weaker late game, as a result of low health and self-destructive attacks
  • Hydreigon is a Stage 2 evolution

Shift Up isn't stopping with Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, with the long-teased Project Spirits set for a proper reveal this year if all continues to go well.

As part of its latest financial briefing, Shift Up says its planning to give the "AAA-class" game an official unveiling this year, and that's not all. Further into the financial presentation, Shift Up offers some more titbits of information to tide us over until then.

Shift Up first tackles a question over Project Spirit's current development status and when it might be unveiled properly. While the Stellar Blade developer isn't going to give much away, we get a sense of what's going on.

In terms of scope, Shift Up says Project Spirit is considered the developer's "next flagship title and a core pipeline project."

When it comes to actually putting the game together, Shift Up says Project Spirits is "progressing smoothly under an efficient and well-structured development process." So much so that the team is aiming to unveil the game in the second half of this year.

In a follow-up answer, Shift Up explains what Project Spirits' "competitive edge" is, given the sort of competition any new game has in the market currently.

"Project Spirits is a AAA-class title built on an 'Eastern fantasy' universe, targeting a global cross-platform live service," Shift Up says. "We are focused on delivering a highly polished game that brings together the development capabilities and live-service experience we have accumulated."

The answer on the whole is interesting, as it sounds like Shift Up is leaning on lessons taken from its other big, rather horny, hit. While plenty may know Shift Up through Stellar Blade, the developer has been working on Goddess of Victory: Nikke for much longer, alongside other games like Destiny Child, which was shut down a few years back.

First released on mobile platforms before coming to PC, Nikke plays the hits as far as gacha action RPGs go. You've got multiple characters you can recruit to your party if you're willing to part with the cash or time – and to make sure you do part with your cash, each anime girl offers the sort of over-the-top proportions you wouldn't want to be seen looking at while working in an office. It's for a story, I swear.

So what links Shift Up's past to its future? Our latest nuggets of information align with the informed community speculation that's been put together through various translated job ads. Alongside multiplayer playable characters, it looks like we're getting open-world areas, towns, dungeons, and a focus on action gameplay.

While Stellar Blade has plenty of semi-open zones and of action-focused combat, everything currently put forward makes this one sound more like Nikke and other games from Shift Up's backlog.

As for when we'll see it, there are a few showcases Shift Up has been known to appear at. Given the update, it sounds like Gamescom is too soon. Tokyo Game Show isn't impossible, but given Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, you'd wonder if The Game Awards is the most likely bet – all things going well, of course.

Either way, it's a long time coming. Project Witches has been kicking around for a while, before it was officially renamed to Project Spirits. The name change came with some new art that was horny enough that cropping it for a previous article was a real chore. Mind you, some weren't impressed, as AI accusations swiftly followed its reveal.

Once Project Spirits is properly revealed, you know people will be closely examining it – for better or for worse.

Stellar Blade: Blood Rain studio CEO defends AI music video because Evie was originally "created from head to toe" by the devs, but fans say that's not the point.

Dig and Clean codes can help you make better discoveries hidden beneath the sands, as you sweep the beach with your detector in search of buried treasure.

It's officially the end of an era, folks – beloved Terraria mod Calamity is officially coming to a close, with developers confirming they'll no longer be continuing development on the fan project from here on out.

Terraria first launched on PC in 2011, with Calamity following in 2016. It quickly grew to become the survival-sandbox game's most iconic mod, with millions of downloads worldwide.

Heck, it's even spurred spin-off mods (don't ask me how many I've browsed myself) and a downright massive fan community. It's caught the attention of Terraria developer Re-Logic itself, too.

So much so, in fact, that the studio previously invited the mod's team to work for it, asking, "Which of you wants to work for Re-Logic and get paid for your work?" It comes as quite a blow then, to learn that Calamity is coming to an end.

The news comes after the modders behind the years-old project's announcement on Discord that "we've come to announce a very difficult decision: we will unfortunately be ceasing all development of Calamity."

They elaborate, citing "the troubled past of Calamity's development" as one reason. "At this point, many of us have felt personally betrayed time and time again after being promised something better that never ended up coming. We're just tired at this point, and almost all passion we had for the mod has been soured, with many of us having chosen to leave as a consequence."

They don't delve further into the details here, but the post goes on.

"Most of us want to simply move on and would be far happier working on our own projects that aren't and won't be tied to something with what we feel is an irrecoverably tainted reputation," it reads, likely referencing accusations that have been making rounds online about some of the mod's leads and whatnot – a situation I'd argue is worth a quick Google as it gets quite dark and might be a tad too heavy here.

There's also the topic of asset removals, which said accusations have spurred. Put simply, a plethora of folks associated with Calamity have pulled out or rebranded, leaving the team looking for… well, a lot more than just new leads.

"Ceasing development is frankly the closest thing we can do to fulfilling everybody's requests" when it comes to the asset debacle, as the devs state – which is obviously not an easy decision to make.

As for the future… it's uncertain. "In terms of where things will go past this, due to legal concerns, no reuploads or forks of Calamity can be made and uploaded (for the sake of clarity, this means that things such as Fables, addons, and such are fine)," writes the team. "Past that, though, we don't really know."

Right now, it's impossible to tell as Ozzatron – the most recent mod lead – would need to work with the devs.

Apparently, however, "he's not responded to anything in the development server recently, and we're hoping to get back in contact soon to resolve all of this." Things aren't looking great, though.

The devs do end on a bittersweet note, thanking fans for their support: "This journey has been long, bumpy, rough and chaotic, yet it's still been wonderful despite that." It's tough to read, even as a casual Calamity enjoyer myself.

This certainly isn't the end that any of us expected, but considering how heavy the allegations seem – and, again, I would advise caution if digging into the situation further – the devs don't have much else that they can do here, likely.

Need something to look forward? Browse through our roundup of the best new games coming this year and beyond for fresh titles to wishlist.

Following The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess' fan-made PC and mobile port, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are now also running natively on IOS devices.

Late last month, Chris Sotraidis managed to get The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time up and running on IOS and iPadOS for the very first time while using the fan-made Ship of Harkinian port as a base. A port of a port, basically. Now, just a few weeks later, Sotraidis managed to do the same thing to the classic game's N64 sequel.

"After Ocarina, everyone asked me to bring Majora’s Mask over next. So here it is," he tweets. "This game deserves a controller, so controller support is native. Pair a Bluetooth controller and play the whole thing. Touch, keyboard, and mouse work too."

Taking one of the best Zelda games to IOS was an idea that came to Sotraidis during a shower thought, funnily enough: "I was taking a shower while on vacation in Bangkok and thought ‘wait, has anyone ever natively ported Zelda to iPhone?’. Surely it had been done, right?"

"The decompilation community has been incredibly active this year. For those that are less familiar, decompilation is the reverse engineering process of turning compiled, machine-readable binary code back into a high-level, human-readable programming language like C or Java," he explains in his blog.

He's definitely not wrong. Recent years have seen fan efforts result in tons of retro game decompilations that open the door to ports and mods and all sorts of cool stuff. An excellent Super Mario 64 port years ago has since been followed by new ways to play Banjo-Kazooie, Mario Kart 64, the aforementioned Twilight Princess, and even the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed.

Wind Waker 2 was in development before Zelda lead Eiji Aonuma was told Toon Link "alienated" American teenagers, so we got Twilight Princess instead

A previously lost Final Fantasy 7 spin-off game has finally been saved and preserved more than two decades after its initial release.

Dirge of Cerberus - Lost Episode isn't the most well known game in the Final Fantasy 7 compilation. In fact, it's a 'midquel' of sorts to one of the most derided entries in the entire series, squeezing Dirge of Cerberus' shooter gameplay onto a mobile phone and letting us spend even more time with the ever-moody Vincent Valentine. But it's been completely unplayable for years... up until now, that is.

As reported on by Time Extension, video game preservationist Yuvi managed to get their hands on the rare game's data thanks to Naoya Shinota, a member of the feature phone preservation group Keitai Wiki, who just so happened to know a guy who was in possession of Dirge of Cerberus - Lost Episode and was looking to dump their old SD card.

"The only issue is that these SD cards are encrypted," Yuvi writes in their blog post, and the team didn't have access to a "special partition from the SD card to start the brute-force process to find the keys."

"This was the first time we have encountered such an issue, because normally we are the ones who have possession of the SD card, so we could get the secret key needed," Yuvi explains. The solution? Yuvi spent $900 to create a brute-force program and a GPU farm to help get it done.

"Now, I’m not going to lie and say it was still cheap; in total, this endeavour to save one game cost me well over $900 dollars, all said and done. But in my books it was well worth something we may have never had the opportunity of getting again," they write. I'd highly recommend checking out their blog for the full details.

It should be a good primer for Vincent Valentine's next big appearance as a playable character in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, coming sometime next year.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation boss says the ending "might be fully faithful to the original" RPG, or "it might end up being something completely different"

Roblox has been suffering in the days since the company issued its Q2 earnings report to shareholders and revealed its monetization efforts are stumbling. As of writing, the company's stock has torpedoed down 72% from last year, but founder and CEO David Baszucki seems certain that this is only a short-term inconvenience.

Baszucki and CFO Naveen K. Chopra both reiterate to investors during a Q&A session that, while it's true that fewer people are currently spending money on Roblox, this is only the result of the company's wider push toward "evergreen" games instead of viral sensations (h/t Dexerto), and pursuing 18-and-up players rather than only the babies Roblox is notorious for inspiring.

Chopra says Roblox's engagement hours were "in line with our expectations" this quarter, but monetization "was below our forecast."

"We attribute the unforeseen monetization shortfall to a greater-than-expected shift of engagement from high-monetizing, 2025 'vintage' viral games to a combination of new and evergreen experiences with lower hourly monetization."

He attributes this shift to a change in Roblox's recommendation algorithm, "which optimizes for long-term retention, and is therefore providing more impressions for highly retentive games – at the expense of near-term monetization." Chopra says "younger users," in particular, were less motivated to spend money this quarter – which is great for their parents, but bad for Roblox, whose majority of 123 million daily active users are under 17.

Chopra declines to predict what the end of the 2026 financial year will be like for Roblox given "all of the moving pieces," but he tells an investor, "We feel good about where things are trending in the longterm."

Baszucki instead describes how Roblox will approach its shrinking pool of young benefactors, which is by moving, "more and more to evergreen-type games, games that keep players around for a long term. Essentially, the exact opposite of, you know, what might be called – not saying we have it, but – more clickbait-y, or kind of cash grabby-type games."

It seems Roblox is interested in growing with its young playerbase rather than simply saying "hello" and draining parents' wallets immediately with briefly popular minigames like Dress to Impress or Steal a Brainrot. Baszucki explains, "The 18 and over market is 80% of the $200 billion global gaming market, and we believe we're uniquely poised to expand play in this 18 and over market in the same way we have for under 18."

"I do think the youth of today are changing," Baszucki muses. "Play is universal, and I believe we're moving towards that original vision of really everyone on our platform is a creator and a builder."

After promising less invasive microtransactions, RuneScape dev Jagex rolls out one-time-use microtransactions then immediately backpedals.

This Mega Rayquaza ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is one of the best dragon type decks out there to date, with players experimenting with variations to work out the best build. Right now it seems as though Rayquaza and Dragonair from the Ruler of the Skies set remain a winning combination, resulting in a deck that burns up energy and then brings it right back from the discard pile. If you want to know more, here's how to make the best possible PTCGP Mega Rayquaza deck in the meta right now.

Check out our page of the Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks for more options, and to see exactly how this build hold up against the others.

Best Mega Rayquaza ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP

The best Mega Rayquaza ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is a combo energy deck (like all dragon builds) made of the following cards:

• Mega Rayquaza ex x1
• Dratini (Mega Shine) x2
• Dragonair (Ruler of the Skies) x2
• Gouging Fire x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Ancient Booster Energy Capsule x1
• Professor's Research x2
• Sabrina x1
• Cyrus x1
• May x1
• Copycat x2
• Professor Sada x1
• Rainbow Cave x2

Energy: Fire / Electric

This is the latest build to arise out of the Mega Rayquaza problem - namely, that this is clearly a very powerful card, if only we could get it to work properly. Here the strategy is to use Gouging Fire as your opening tank, either building up its energy or just letting it absorb damage while evolve Dratini and fuel Rayquaza on the bench.

At the same time, keep using Rainbow Cave to mill through energy, so your discard pile is as big as possible for Dragonair and Professor Sada to pull from. Make sure you save Rayquaza for the endgame, and do everything you can to keep Dragonair alive - they're the key to victory, as energy production is too slow otherwise.

• Pros
  • Potentially huge damage output
  • No type weaknesses for enemies to exploit
  • Gouging Fire is a good early game tank
• Cons
  • Struggles in the early game
  • Risk of using Rayquaza at the wrong time
  • If you lose Dragonair, you'll struggle

Vespiquen ex in Pokemon TCG Pocket has become the focus on new powerful Grass type deck builds, able to discard your own cards from the bench for the sake of causing your own damage output to double. Not only that, but there's a wide range of powerful Grass types in the meta, mainly focused on durability and resistance, making this as much of a tank deck as anything else. If that appeals to you, here's how to make the best possible Vespiquen deck in PTCGP, as well as the strategies, weaknesses, and more besides.

See how Vespiquen ex fares in our rankings of the Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks!

Best Vespiquen ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP

The best Vespiquen ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is composed of the following cards:

• Combee (Space-Time Smackdown) x2
• Vespiquen ex x2
• Teal Mask Ogerpon x1
• Shuckle ex x2
• X Speed x1
• Field Blower x1
• Leaf Cape x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Erika x1
• Cyrus x1
• Mars x1
• Copycat x2
• Fragrant Forest x2

Energy: Grass

Vespiquen is your heavy hitter in this deck, capable of doing 140 damage if you discard one of your Pokemon from your bench. That's actually not too bad a sacrifice - your opponent won't get any points from that, and it can actually be a way to remove weak cards from play so your opponent can't use Cyrus or bench-hitting attacks to KO them.

Otherwise, the strategy of play is pretty straightforward. Start with Shuckle ex for the early endurance, building up to Vespiquen on the bench with Fragrant Forest and other draw cards. This shouldn't take long (it's a low energy deck), before you can then bring the big bug out and start hitting for major damage. Meanwhile, Ogerpon ensures you're immune to status effects, including those all-too-common sleep builds we've seen going around.

• Pros
  • Low energy costs
  • Durable deck build
  • Good damage output from Vespiquen ex
• Cons
  • Single strategy
  • Combee is a vulnerability

Strong Puppy Pile deck builds in Pokemon TCG Pocket have come creeping up through the meta since they debuted, and while multiple variants of this deck exist, they all share a common theme and strategy. This is a deck wherein combining Puppy Pile cards increases their damage, and the diverse types on display means you can exploit type weakness all the more effectively. Below I'll explain how the Puppy Pile deck in PTCGP works, and the best build for getting the most from it.

See where the Puppy Pile deck falls in our Pokemon TCG Pocket best decks page!

Best Puppy Pile deck build in Pokemon TCGP

Puppy Pile in Pokemon TCG Pocket is a mechanic wherein every card in your hand and board with that attack all add to each other's power. Here's how to make the best Puppy Pile deck possible:

• Magby x2
• Growlithe x2
• Rockruff x2
• Fidough x2
• Yamper x2
• Poke Ball x2
• Flame Patch x2
• Professor's Research x2
• Cyrus x1
• Copycat x1
• Puppy-Loving Girl x1
• Bounded Field x1

Energy: Fire

This is a deck where you want to get an early advantage and come out swinging, as none of your cards have the durability to survive more than one moderately powerful attack. For that reason, the best opening draw is Magby, who can then empower your cards on the Bench so you can quickly get them out for a second-turn strike. At that point, you want to keep up the offense and stop your opponents from building any coherent strategy.

Fortunately, Fire Energy means that power can keep being circulated, with Flame Patch and Magby both aiding in this. And more interestingly, this is a deck that can exploit the weaknesses of countless other decks, as you have four different types of attack from the different Puppy Pile decks, while Bounded Field massively increases the damage of those weakness exploits. With a hand full of Puppies and a type advantage, you can potentially do 300+ damage in a single attack.

• Pros
  • Huge damage potential
  • Can exploit a vast array of weaknesses
• Cons
  • Incredibly low durability
  • Wholly dependant on you being faster than your opponent

Palworld is officially getting an MMORPG spin-off in the form of Palworld Online, but it might not be the instant hit for existing players that you might expect, as it's only coming to mobile.

Palworld Online isn't being developed and published by Pocketpair, but by Garena. Per a press release, it "reimagines the depth, freedom, and scale of the original PC survival creature-collecting title for mobile." It adds: "As an officially licensed title, it introduces a new narrative setting with original story elements, while expanding into a Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) ecosystem."

The existence of a Palworld MMO isn't a huge shock, as the name of the game surfaced online (pun not intended) back in May thanks to the filing of a trademark. While there was no official announcement, fans immediately speculated that the title might point to an MMO of some sort, and they were right – though I can't help but wonder if its mobile-only trajectory might limit its player base somewhat.

Garena promises that the experience has been optimized for mobile, though, featuring "streamlined, touch-friendly interface with optional one-tap controls" to make things easier. Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe also notes in a statement that "Garena has extensive experience in global publishing, localization, and live operations for mobile games," adding: "We are pleased to work with Garena on the licensed development of Palworld Online and look forward to seeing a new Palworld experience brought to players worldwide."

Crucially, this is a completely different game to Krafton's Palworld Mobile, so there'll soon be two alternative ways to experience the series on your phone.

Anyway, there won't be too long to wait to find out how Palworld Online lands, as it's set to arrive on iOS and Android devices at some point this year, adding to an already busy year for the franchise between the main game's 1.0 release and its new physical trading card game.

Palworld lead shrugs off "dead game" suggestions as Pocketpair's survival hit continues to bring in half a million concurrent Steam players mid-week, weeks after 1.0 launch.

Today's Genshin Impact 7.0 livestream confirmed an expansion to the game's To Temper Thyself and Journey Far event, better known as the 5-star Constellation selector. With nine new characters added to the selectable roster, the free 5-star options have grown considerably as the event enters its fifth cycle.

Provided you already have the character themselves, as of update 7.0 you'll be able to claim one free Constellation for the following characters in addition to those already available in the selector:

• Lyney
• Wriothesley
• Navia
• Xianyun
• Chiori
• Sigewinne
• Clorinde
• Emilie
• Yumemizuki Mizuki

As expected, the newly added characters are Fontaine-focused, though some players have also expressed their shock at seeing Sumeru characters like Al Haitham skipped over.

Wriothesley, who was recently buffed with the introduction of the Stellar Conduct reaction, is comfortably one of the strongest picks for an early Constellation.

Standard character Yumemizuki Mizuki, who seems to benefit from the addition of the Stellar Swirl reaction in update 7.0, is also surprisingly relevant. I'll probably end up snagging Wriothesley for power, Xianyun for exploration, and Chiori and Emilie to make them slightly stronger as off-field options.

The rules of the selector haven't changed from the first four cycles. As developer Hoyoverse reiterated on-stream, players "can claim one Stella Fortuna [Constellation upgrade] for characters you own from the list above. Each character can only receive it once."

As ever, you can claim these freebies by completing daily tasks multiple times a week for eight weeks in a row, with miscellaneous bonus rewards to follow once you claim the Constellation for each cycle.
