Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden doesn't think the inevitable PS6 needs to be more powerful to be a success. While new console generations offer less drastic technical improvements each time, Layden reckons "true innovation" would come from making the next-gen machine affordable.

Speaking to The Trophy Room podcast, Layden recalls how past generations offered "something mind-blowing" every time a new console came out. "The jump from PS1 to PS2 was incredible," he says, "and the jump from compact disc to DVD." Even the PS4 was "completely networked" and Sony still managed to offer the console for $399 at the time.

Meanwhile, rumors are that the PS6 will come with "even more ray tracing and more teraflops." That might sound impressive to tech wizards, but to Layden and the average player, "these are differences only dogs can hear."

"I think we have enough power in the machine. The innovation needs to come not from making PS6 for $1,200 - it's to make another PS5 for $300. Now, that would be true innovation," he explains. Layden's comments are particularly timely right now as the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are much more expensive today than they were at launch, six years ago. "This is the first platform that I've seen that has gone up in price over time."

Those rising console costs come from the ongoing RAM shortage, as AI data centers gobble up components that are used in almost every other consumer device, from consoles to smart phones. For Layden, these price points block a large crowd of potential buyers from ever entering the door - a crowd that would've traditionally jumped in at the end of the generation for a cheaper asking price.

"What the company needs to do is do what it's never done, which is don't iterate the console," he says. "Make it smaller, make it cheaper, do all the things you can around that. It's more than enough power to build the kind of games all of us want to play."

Sony has "a good chance of winning" with a PS6 handheld, former PlayStation boss says, but only if there's no home console launch, too

My kingdom for Sony and FromSoftware to do anything with Bloodborne. There's been no remaster, no PC port, and also no sequel. We do have an excuse for that last one, because apparently bureaucracy is constantly getting in the way.

At least, that's what Shawn Layden, ex-president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, suggests on The Trophy Room podcast when asked about why it's been all quiet on the Yharnam front. "Bringing back old games has a certain challenge to it," he starts.

"Can you do something that is not only respectful of the original, but can you recreate the phenomenon?" he ponders, responding to the notion of a Bloodborne remake. After the successful Demon's Souls redux from Japan Studio and Bluepoint Games, people have been hoping for other FromSoftware releases to get the same treatment.

Bloodborne doesn't appear to be a likely candidate from what Layden has to say, nor would a sequel be straightforward. "There's a lot of involved rights associated with it," he explains. "And it's something like that where Sony is in there, and [FromSoftware] is in there, and From's parent company is in there, I think just getting everyone to sign off on everything is probably the biggest challenge there."

Such things are major roadblocks in many creative endeavours. I'm going to guess the fact it was co-developed with Japan Studio is what's causing some of the complications here. The company was unfortunately closed in 2020, leaving its IP or stakes therein wherever.

But that's just speculation. The fact is, Sony likes making money, and Bloodborne would be an easy win, and I suspect if these hurdles didn't exist, we'd have seen activity there by now. Alas, the hunter's dream remains just that for now. Good thing the game is still just as satisfying to replay as it ever was.

Sony adds new PlayStation Plus "perks" like free trials for YouTube Premium and a sleep app, players respond "the only perk I want is discs."

Shibuya codes grant a bunch of free rerolls in a variety of categories, giving you the chance to reroll your Race, Clan, and Cursed Technique whenever you want. All three of the categories have some incredible rare and mythical options, and of course your chances of rolling them are super low, so the more rerolls you have, the better.

This Jujutsu Kaisen-inspired Roblox game is an RPG experience in which you put yourself into the shoes of a human or a cursed spirit - with rerolls, you also have a chance to become one of a few roll-exclusive clans, too. To live the virtual life you want, you'll need as many rerolls as possible to customize your character to your exact requirements, so here are the latest Shibuya codes to help you do just that.

If you're after some more general avatar rewards to use in all of your experiences, then we've got the current Roblox promo codes covered too.

All Shibuya codes

These are the Shibuya codes you can redeem right now:

• 2500LIKES - 25x Race Rerolls
• 3000LIKES - 15x Race Rerolls
• CLANCOMPENSATION - 65x Clan Rerolls
• PUBLICTESTING - 10x Race Rerolls, 10x Clan Rerolls
• SORRYFORLAG - 3x Cursed Technique Rerolls

Shibuya codes almost always offer rerolls, but they are specific to the character you're customizing at the time you redeem them, so if you have more than one character slot, be careful to redeem codes where you want them.

It's also worth noting that Shibuya codes aren't case-sensitive, so you only have to make sure the spelling is correct, but you can always just copy and paste from the list above if you want to be safe.

How to redeem Shibuya codes

To redeem Shibuya codes, you must be in the character customization screen for the character you want the rewards to apply to. To get here from in-game, double click the Menu button at the top of the screen. This is the same menu you'll see when you load into the game.

From here, select Slots, then choose the character you want to apply your codes to and click Customize. If you only have one character, it'll automatically select them for you. From the customization screen, you'll see the codes redemption box in the top right-hand corner. Type or copy your code into the enter code box and hit enter to claim your rewards.

Shibuya codes expire fairly quickly, so it's always worth redeeming them as soon as you see them. Since your Rerolls stack and don't expire, there's no harm in doing so. Whenever promos do expire, I'll move them down here so you don't experience any disappointment.

Final Fantasy series producer Yoshinori Kitase says that Final Fantasy 10's iconic Blitzball minigame was inspired in-part by Pod Racing in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace – so he's pleased that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took inspiration from Square Enix's series, too.

Kitase – who served as game director of Final Fantasy 10 – spoke to IGN about being "very happy" that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was so inspired by Final Fantasy because he himself was inspired by movies he enjoyed when he was young – particularly Star Wars.

"I think I like Star Wars so much that I was afraid of using anything related to [it]," Kitase says, recalling the fear that his work would become something identical to the films. He explains, "I don't think there's something from the movie that I used directly as an inspiration for my games."

However, he does admit to a couple of major inspirations, namely Biggs and Wedge – recurring names used in the series starting with Final Fantasy 6 – who are named after Luke Skywalker's wingmen during the attack on the Death Star in the original Star Wars (Biggs Darklighter and Wedge Antilles). He recalls, "I wasn't sure about the name I was going to use for those characters. And I ended up using the names of characters from Star Wars."

Another major inspiration came when Kitase was creating the fictional sport Blitzball for inclusion in the game. He recalls, "I used an idea from Star Wars Episode 1 where there's this [pod] race and the fact of using sport inside a fantasy context, I took this idea directly from Star Wars."

Frankly, I'm more impressed that he was able to be inspired by a film that released two years earlier, which is a massive reminder of how much quicker sequels to games released, and how on fire Square Enix was at that point. Kitase directed Final Fantasy 8 which released three months before The Phantom Menace, and two years later Final Fantasy 10 – inspired by The Phantom Menace – arrived on shelves.

Final Fantasy 10 leaned into the fantasy genre after devs "learned that The Lord of the Rings was in production" and thought it would be "the next big global trend."

The latest Cameraman Tower Defense codes will give you free coins so you can unlock new units for your next game even faster. Sure, you'll earn plenty of coins while your cameramen and friends defend your land against hordes of invading toilets, but it can't hurt to get some bonus coins for free - especially given how long some rounds can take.

Speaking of which, you can speed up each round by joining the Aligators Games group on Roblox and by liking the game, neither of which you have to do in order to redeem Cameraman TD codes, but there's another prerequisite instead, as you'll learn below. So read on for the current promos and how to redeem them.

Plus, if you're after some more general avatar rewards to use in all of your experiences, then we've got the current Roblox promo codes covered too.

All Cameraman TD codes

These are the Cameraman Tower Defense codes available right now:

• UTTVM - 50 Coins
• PathOfHonor - 50 Coins

So far, all Cameraman Tower Defense codes have been for coins, but this is a valuable resource required to unlock new Units, so it couldn't get much better than that. Generally speaking, these promos award 50 Coins, so you only need to redeem two codes to unlock a new Unit Crate for free.

Camerman TD codes are case sensitive, so you have to make sure you enter the codes exactly as they appear above in order for them to work. If you can, it's worth copying and pasting from our list to be safe.

How to redeem Cameraman TD codes

To redeem Cameraman Tower Defense codes, you must first win three games. This won't be easy with your starting unit, but it is possible on the easiest difficulty. Once you've won three matches though, you'll be able to proceed quickly with the rewards from these promos.

Once you've won three matches, simply hit the Shop button on the left-hand side of the screen, then scroll right to the bottom where you'll find the Code redemption box. Enter a code, click Redeem, and watch your coin balance go up.

Expired Cameraman Tower Defense codes

• Battlepass - 50 Coins
• LStriderSpeaker - 50 Coins
• UTCM - 50 Coins

Cameraman TD codes seem to expire fairly quickly, so it's worth redeeming them as soon as you see them to avoid missing out. I'll move any invalid codes down here as soon as they expire, so at least you shouldn't try to redeem rewards unsuccessfully.

We're now four days into Fortnite's latest season, Treasure Hunters, and thousands of players have been taking that title very seriously with their attempts to unlock access to an enormous amount of cosmetics for free, thanks to a prize so desirable that they've been mapping out all the best ways to attempt to beat the extremely slim odds.

Fortnite's Pirate Shop Access tokens are undoubtedly the most exciting rewards that Epic has ever added to the game. Right now in the battle royale, there's a very small chance that when you open up a chest during your regular looting, you'll unlock two of these tokens, each giving you the ability to clear out the game's item shop (full of cosmetics like skins and emotes) for free for 14 consecutive days. One token can be used this year, and the other in 2027, for a total of 28 days of freebies for anyone lucky enough to find them. It's a prize that could, without exaggeration, save players thousands of dollars' worth of V-Bucks.

Needless to say, you can understand why seemingly everyone is currently going feral at the prospect of being one of the lucky few, and when some players have opened thousands of chests without finding what they're looking for, you can also understand why folks are trying to streamline the process. Beyond the general tip of searching in squads – a full team can search chests faster and all will be granted the reward if they're together when a lucky chest is opened, players have found – some have now mapped out the optimal routes to open as many chests as quickly as possible.

Content creator MacFNyt has suggested a few routes. The area just north of Plunder Port, for example, apparently contains between 11 and 23 chests for you to search in a neat loop, while the northwest of the map, containing Buried Treasure Island, reportedly boasts 30 chests in a fairly small area, meaning you can check loads very quickly.

Others have gone even further – Gatocarls15 has shared four routes you can use with your squad, so you're each able to split up and hit one each every match. It's all about optimization, folks.

Another popular chest-searching hotspot is, well, The Chest. That is, the enormous pirate chest POI on the map. The island it's sat on is covered in buried chests, which – as players have pointed out – you can dig up even faster if you equip the new Plundarrgh Sprite.

None of this will guarantee you actually finding any Pirate Shop tokens, of course. In fact, truth be told, I'm not seeing anyone in the replies to these tweets who've actually had real success with the methods. But, it tracks that the more chests you're able to open, then the more chances you have to roll the die, so they're still valid tactics.

There's been no official word from Epic on the actual chance of finding the Pirate Shop Access tokens, so it's really just a case of opening as many chests as possible and hoping for the best. As this is only a month-long season, though, time is ticking, but the dedication so many are showing to the grind even a few days in suggests that this may well be the incentive players need to keep pouring the hours in during a month that's otherwise set to be dominated by the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and, of course, GTA 6.

Fortnite is giving out more V-Bucks through its monthly subscription – but also ditching one of its main perks.

Criminal Simulator codes can help you to start climbing the rungs of the underworld ladder, as you stalk the city at night with up to three friends in search of your next big score. Sneak your way past residents as you burgle their houses, then escape from the police and their dogs so you can fence your stolen loot in time.

The promos released so far provide some cold hard cash to get you up and running, along with access to God Mode – though many of the codes have expired rather quickly, so you'll need to act fast if you want to become invincible in this law-breaking Roblox experience. If you're ready to start thieving, then here are the codes for Criminal Simulator and how to redeem them.

If you're looking for some more general promos with avatar rewards that apply to all of your experiences, check out the latest Roblox promo codes.

All Criminal Simulator codes

The following Criminal Simulator codes can be claimed in-game:

• CITY – $1,000 new!
• POLICE – $1,500

There are currently a couple of active codes for Criminal Simulator, which provide you with a decent amount of cash to get started. Previous promos have had a limited number of uses before they expire, so grab any active codes as soon as you see them.

How to redeem Criminal Simulator codes

It couldn't be simpler to redeem Criminal Simulator codes, as you just have to hit the CODES button in the top right corner of the screen, then type a promo into the Enter code text box that appears and press the REDEEM button. Codes for Criminal Simulator are not case-sensitive, and you don't need to join the group to use them – though if you do join and verify through the menu you'll receive a $500 bonus.

Expired Criminal Simulator codes

• 10MVISITS – $3500 (150 uses only)
• 30KLIKES – 1x Free God Mode (100 uses only)
• PIGGY – 1x Free God Mode (150 uses only)
• GOD – 1x Free God Mode (50 uses only)

There are already a number of expired Criminal Simulator codes, due to some promos only having a limited amount of uses available before they run out. Keep an eye out for new codes as they're announced, and make sure you've claimed any that are currently active.

Almost exactly 15 years on from Skyrim, the Bethesda dev responsible for the "infamous" Seven Thousand Steps at the Throat of the World says, "I did my darndest to find a way to fit all 7,000 steps into the storied path," but alas, it turns out that that's just rather a lot of steps.

In new dev insights shared by Bethesda in the wake of The Elder Scrolls 6's reemergence yesterday, associate art director Dan Lee discusses his impact on the 2011 RPG, noting that, "While not responsible for the rough layout of Skyrim's terrain, I was responsible for refining the shapes of High Hrothgar.

"I would look at the mountain from various viewpoints and tried to keep the shape interesting. My work on the 'Throat of the World' was not limited to sculpting the mountain, but also included cluttering and dressing the mountain with visual effects, plants, and objects," he continues. "This of course, included the infamous 7,000 steps."

Obviously, when you call a location "The Seven Thousand Steps," people are going to check your work, and fans have long since figured out that Bethesda didn't come close to making the name accurate. It's thought that there are between 700 and 800, instead. One intrepid adventurer did the math a month after the game's launch in 2011, and I feel compelled to share the workings they shared on Reddit nearly 15 years ago, which puts the count at 748 steps.

With that said, this wasn't due to a lack of trying from Lee. "I love trying to be as faithful to lore or real-life as possible and I did my darndest to find a way to fit all 7,000 steps into the storied path," the dev says. "However, my best attempt to do so included extending far past Ivarstead, wrapping around the mountain and ending near Whiterun in the frozen tundra. It turns out, 7,000 is quite a lot!"

So, at least there was an attempt. Lee also has an important clarification before anyone starts blaming him for a certain other notorious part of the path to High Hrothgar. "By the way, my work did NOT include enemy encounters, so I take no responsibility for the Frost Troll that was the woe of many players," he adds.

If Bethesda wants to add any similarly named locations to The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel, I imagine it might be more likely to make sure they can actually live up to their titles. Despite getting a game title, we still know very little about it – but we do have our first crumb of lore, which will hopefully keep ravenous fans fed for a while longer.

Bethesda immediately brings our Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel hopes back down to earth – "It'll be some time before we're ready."

Most Practical Basketball codes grant players with a fat stack of cash, meaning you can head to the plaza and get shopping for clothes, a new haircut, and much more. You're a pro basketball player now, so you'll want to look your best whenever you're stepping into town.

That's not all, though, as you'll find most of these Practical Basketball codes also provide a boost to rep or EXP in this Roblox sports game. Even better, these aren't timed, but are instead linked to a specific number of games. Since you can't waste them by redeeming them at the wrong time, then, don't waste another second and check out my list of the latest Practical Basketball codes below.

If you're after some more general avatar rewards to use in all of your experiences, then we've got the current Roblox promo codes covered too.

As you can see from the list above, there is a large amount of coins to be had by redeeming these codes, while the likes of banners, EXP boosts, and more are also up for grabs.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy lead Naoki Hamaguchi may be working towards what's shaping up to be the biggest and boldest installment yet, the grand finale of Revelation, but it turns out that, of the three, the first game was the hardest to make.

In an interview with French content creator mistermv, translated by Genki on Twitter (and verified by GamesRadar+), Hamaguchi is asked what the biggest development challenge of the trilogy has been, and he immediately points back to where it all began.

For a start, the development team was much smaller in the beginning. At first, Hamaguchi notes, the team was only comprised of 30 people – a number obviously eclipsed by the final credits on the game.

But more than that, Remake also had the challenge of setting up what would follow it. The start of the project meant deciding on the entire visual look and graphical quality for the Remake trilogy, for example, all while working to the pressure of pleasing the many massive FF7 fans, with the worry of the devs' efforts being insufficient in meeting players' lofty expectations.

On the other hand, Rebirth and Revelation were able to follow in the footsteps of the foundation built by Remake – while they may have been larger and more ambitious, as Hamaguchi puts it, they had a base to go on, and the team working on them had grown and evolved, too.

Hamaguchi and other FF leads have previously spoken about how creating the Final Fantasy 7 remake in the trilogy format has allowed the devs to take on feedback between installments, too, hopefully making each experience better than the last for players. For example, Hamaguchi is aware that many players felt that Rebirth had an overwhelming amount of content, and while Revelation "probably" has even more, the devs have made some key differences in signposting what side-content will earn you what rewards, and ultimately making it easier for players to decide what they care about pursuing.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation has a hard mode you can select from the start, Naoki Hamaguchi says, but it "won't function in the exact same way as it did in Remake and Rebirth."

Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has been hard at work on the 1.7 update for some time now, teasing fans about what to expect – and it sounds like it'll bring much more than just two new marriage candidates to the table.

We already know we'll be able to romance Clint and Sandy come 1.7, and that we'll get a new farm type with the update. It sounds big enough as is, considering just those elements and the other social features ConcernedApe has teased – but it's not just big, y'all.

According to the mastermind developer, it might just be the biggest that Stardew Valley has ever seen… even bigger than 1.5 and 1.6, which boasted added regions, festivals, and more.

He reveals as much during a recent Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, as posted over on Reddit by an attending fan.

After recalling how incredible his farming sim's growth has been, he mentions the patch that's on everyone's mind. "We're working on the 1.7 update, which is looking to be the largest Stardew Valley update ever," he says. "It's jam-packed."

ConcernedApe doesn't stop there, either. In his own words, "Clint and Sandy are just the tip of the iceberg – there's so much more in the update." He even drops a release hint: "You guys are in for a real treat, and it'll probably come out sometime next year."

Next year is just a couple of months away at this point, which means we could get the new Stardew Valley update a whole lot sooner than expected (should the stars align, of course).

There are a good few months in 2027, though – you know, a whole 12 of 'em – so there's no telling just yet whether or not we'll get 1.7 toward the start of the year or the tail end. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the former, but ConcernedApe's a busy guy.

He's got Haunted Chocolatier to grapple with, too, which he previously admitted is "taking a long time" to get right – but getting things right is his priority.

Stardew Valley "3DVR" mod looks like a whole different game, is "fully playable" and compatible with all of your existing mods

F-Stop – the canceled Valve project that was the original Portal follow-up – has leaked online and is fully playable after being found in the massive Steam leak earlier this year.

Back in August 12TB of Steam data from 2003 and 2013 dropped online which featured a ton of builds of Valve titles like Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive. This data was apparently "hidden in plain sight, but with no protection whatsoever," and was easily accessible without hacking the whole time, proving to be a treasure trove for Valve fanatics, with early Portal 2 builds featuring bullet time being uncovered. And unless Half Life 2: Episode 3 is found anytime soon, the true holy grail of this leak may have been found.

As reported by Kotaku, users in the Valve Cut Content project’s Discord have managed to find the game's source code and map data, meaning that F-Stop is fully playable. YouTube user ToothpasteVixen uploaded the intro to the game – featuring earlier narration from a JK Simmons-less Cave Johnson – which will give you a good idea of the concept for those unaware, but to put it simply, it almost feels like an earlier take on the 2019 puzzle game Superliminal where taking photos allows you to manipulate the environment.

F-Stop was one of five projects coming from what Gabe Newell described as "Directed Design Experiments," where Valve's production was shut down for a few months which would have the company's teams participate in what is effectively a massive game jam. F-Stop was one of the standout projects from it, with Newell asking the team behind it to develop it into a prequel to Portal.

Ultimately, as per Portal 2 - the Final Hours, the project was canceled after playtesters didn't react entirely positively – namely, questioning why a Portal follow-up did not include the Portal Gun – but now, 15 years after the actual Portal 2 was released and with no sequel in sight, you can play a sort of new Portal experience.

Backrooms director posts from Valve's office again, and Portal movie speculation is intensifying.

Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida knows one of Dawntrail's biggest issues at launch was the story's pacing, so the team is putting in the work to ensure that Evercold doesn't suffer the same fate.

Speaking to the media at Final Fantasy 14's Japanese leg of Fan Fest, Yoshida takes a question about what the team behind the MMO has learned from Dawntrail and how important it has been for Evercold's development.

"This time we are putting in serious consideration on the sense of tempo," Yoshida says, per a mod from the Final Fantasy 14 subreddit who was in attendance. "Back at Dawntrail we were being really careful in depicting new lands, new cultures, new encounters and this greatly slowed down the pacing on story progression. The fact that this did not align with players’ motivation of 'keep moving forward' shows shortcomings on my part as the director."

To remedy the pacing issues for Evercold, Yoshida says the team is moving some of the aforementioned focus to side quests, meaning you can enjoy that kind of thing if and when you want.

"This is actually connected to Final Fantasy 14's overall evolution, so we have to consider how precious players' time they have here," Yoshida adds. "After all, we will face the fact on how it's difficult for this to be relatable to players if the story doesn't progress at a brisk, fast-paced tempo, therefore we are placing a strong emphasis on this aspect this time."

I have been cautiously optimistic about Evercold since it was unveiled early this year, and this is another step in the right direction. While Dawntrail's story does eventually get good – doubly so in the post-expansion patches – it puts you in the position of having to defend it by telling your raid-brained pals to "stick with it, honestly," which is not an amazing place to be in games or other media like TV or film.

Dawntrail had other issues, sure, though Square Enix has shown enough consideration about that elsewhere. Of course, how this all works will remain to be seen. I've played Final Fantasy 14 for a long ol' time, and I've seen expansions launch with pacing issues – looking at you, Stormblood – that were remedied in later expansions. Hopefully Evercold sticks the landing in a way that hangs around for many expansions after.

Final Fantasy 14 theorists were right all along: Evercold's second job is the ranged Zephyr DPS that uses crossbows and a deadly pet bird.

As we enter GTA 6 territory, Fortnite's apparent answer to keeping players engaged is simple – break out the free stuff, stat. However, the shock is just how generous its latest offer is – but earning it is probably going to have a lot of players grinding for an entire month.

Fortnite's latest season, Treasure Hunters, kicked off yesterday, November 1, and as a shorter, month-long mini-season, it was always going to have its work out for it to compete for the spotlight when GTA 6 launches on November 19. Prior to its launch, I thought the plan here was its long-awaited One Piece collab, but as was highlighted shortly after the season went live, Epic Games had another trick up its sleeve.

Enter the Fortnite Pirate Shop Access tokens. Every time you open a chest this season to grab your regular loot – guns, healing items and the like – there's an extremely slim chance that you'll be greeted with a big, golden pop-up declaring, "You found Pirate Shop Access." This grants two special tokens – one for use during a window of time this year, and one in 2027 – which, when activated, allow you to claim almost everything in Fortnite's item shop for free for 14 consecutive days.

To be clear, that means you can log on for two weeks, and every single day, claim almost everything – that means skins, bundles, emotes… you name it – in the shop without spending a single V-Buck. And then, if that wasn't enough, you can return for a second two-week free period next year.

The way Fortnite's item shop works means that you won't be able to claim everything that's ever been added to the game with this, as cosmetics rotate in and out of the store each day. But, depending on how many items you already own and what's in the shop when you activate your tokens, players could genuinely net themselves hundreds, if not thousands of dollars' worth of cosmetics using this.

The only things users aren't allowed to claim for free are "real money offers" (items you can only buy with actual cash rather than V-Bucks) and Battle Pass levels; they can only grab "one free sidekick you do not already own." Owners also can't gift things to others for free, which, to be fair, makes sense since it could lead to a massive chunk of the player base clearing out the item shop for weeks on end if it was permitted.

And that part ties into the only major catch – the rarity. As you'd imagine, the Pirate Shop Access tokens are extremely hard to come by – Epic Games hasn't confirmed the actual odds, but a quick look on social media will show you players opening hundreds and thousands of chests without seeing that fateful pop-up. Given that we're only on day two of the season, we'll probably get a better idea of the stats as we go along, but it's safe to say that many are already fully committed to the grind – which, let's face it, is definitely what the devs were going for.

For anyone keen to try their luck, it seems like it might be easier to find Pirate Shop Access if you're playing with your friends. It's already been confirmed that if you're playing with others and someone else on your team opens one of the lucky chests, the reward will be granted to everyone in the squad (or duo or trio).

There are some other rare rewards this season which can be found in the same way – right now, you can also unlock a golden A$AP Rocky skin and pickaxe, a loading screen, vehicle, Jam Track, and more – but I think it's safe to say that the Pirate Shop Access is going to be the One Piece for most players this season.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says new multiplayer games flop because everyone's "already formed solid human networks in Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and Apex Legends."

The Fortnite pirate shop token is currently the talk of the town, as it represents an incredible piece of plundered loot to tie in with the piracy-themed mini-season. If you're lucky enough to find this extremely rare token during Fortnite Treasure Hunters, then you'll be able to plunder the item shop by claiming almost everything available there for free during a two week period, making this one of the most valuable rewards ever! To bring you up to speed, I'll explain how to get a pirate token in Fortnite and how rare it actually is.

How to get a Fortnite pirate shop token

Currently, the only way to get a Fortnite pirate shop token is to keep opening chests in the game, as it is a random loot drop. It comes from standard chests, so you don't need to track down rare ones, and you'll know if you've found an item shop token as the chest will glow and shake for several seconds before exploding with a "YOU FOUND PIRATE SHOP ACCESS" message appearing across the screen.

If you're lucky enough to discover this you'll actually receive two items – PIRATE SHOP ACCESS (2026) and PIRATE SHOP ACCESS (2027). The first needs to be activated by December 15, 2026, while the second will become available next year, and once redeemed they allow you to claim anything sold for V-Bucks in the Fortnite Item Shop for free for 14 days. This excludes passes levels, gifting, and real money bundles, and you can only claim one free sidekick you don't own already, but otherwise you can absolutely stuff your locker with a huge amount of free cosmetics!

How rare is the pirate shop token in Fortnite?

Naturally for such a valuable reward, the Fortnite pirate shop token is incredibly rare and at the time of writing only a small number of players have reportedly found it. You can increase your odds of discovering a token by playing with friends, as if one member of a duo, trio, or squad finds this elusive item then everyone else in the group will also receive it. Otherwise, all you can do is continue searching as many chests as possible and keeping everything crossed – good luck and happy hunting!

FromSoftware isn't having a great week. Right on the heels of delaying The Duskbloods out of 2026, it's now announced that the servers for Dark Souls 2 and 3 are temporarily going down on all platforms due to an "issue," and it's not going to tell you when they'll be back.

"Due to a server issue, the game servers for the following titles will be temporarily unavailable on all platforms," FromSoftware writes in a post on Twitter, listing Dark Souls 2 and 3.

"We will provide updates once we have information regarding the server restoration time," it adds. "We apologize for the inconvenience."

This was around eight hours ago – no update has been given since, and the lack of indication of how long it'd take in the place is concerning, to say the least. After all, Dark Souls fans have lived through months-long server outages before. Back in 2022, the PC servers for Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3 all went, well, dark for most part of the year following security concerns. They all came back online eventually, but it was pretty rough for anyone wanting to play them thanks to the co-op and invasion features being totally dead.

Hopefully this latest outage doesn't last as long, as there's also the added concern of it being across all platforms this time rather than just PC.

While FromSoftware offers no explanation as to what the server issue is, it notably comes around a week after numerous sites and online services were temporarily taken down in the wake of new PHP vulnerabilities being discovered. Whether that's played a role here isn't known – separate server maintenance for Dark Souls 2 only just came and went a couple of days ago.

Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki was always "fascinated" by the "weird" executives of other companies: "I use some of them as enemy characters in our games."

The Mimic codes might go some way to keep you alive in this twisted game of hide and seek, but you're also going to need a certain level of skill and stealth if you want to get out alive. You see, you can't just hide, you need to complete challenges while evading enemies, which sometimes just isn't possible.

This horror Roblox experience is at least a little generous, though, allowing you to keep your progress each time you die provided you have some Revives to your name, which is exactly where these The Mimic codes come in handy. So, before you tackle your next challenge, make sure you've checked for valid promos below.

If you're after some more general avatar rewards to use in all of your experiences, then we've got the current Roblox promo codes covered too.

All The Mimic codes

These are all the The Mimic codes you can redeem right now:

• HAPPYHALLOWEEN - Rewards new!

These The Mimic codes usually award players with a bunch of revives, allowing you to keep going even if you are caught out while completing carnival games, collecting artifacts, or any of the other tough challenges that keep you out in the open. You might also get a handful of Spirits, too, which aren't as useful, but are cool, since you can spend them on the game's various emotes.

How to redeem The Mimic codes

To redeem The Mimic codes, locate the bright-green Codes area in the lobby and walk towards it, where you'll get a prompt to interact with it. This brings up the empty CODE box, where you can enter a code as it appears in the list above before clicking ENTER to claim your rewards.

Expired The Mimic codes

The Mimic codes expire usually after a few weeks, so when there are any valid codes, you should be sure to redeem them as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

Following the news of Star Trek and X-Men actor Patrick Stewart's death yesterday, fans of Star Trek Online have been gathering to pay tribute to the beloved actor – and request that he be permanently remembered in the MMO with an addition from the developers.

Patrick Stewart died age 86 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia, leaving behind a legacy of legendary characters, from Professor X to Star Trek's ever-charismatic, Earl Grey-loving Captain Picard.

It's no surprise that this legacy is evident outside of television media, too, having made its way into Star Trek Online – Cryptic Studios' 16-year-old MMO based on Gene Roddenberry's sci-fi franchise.

As countless posts online show now, folks are using the game to pay tribute to Stewart. "The memorial for Patrick Stewart in Star Trek Online is growing," as one thread over on Twitter reads, an image of players holding torches in-game attached. Another on Reddit sees starships gather amid the stars to remember the actor: "For Sir Pat."

A different discussion sees more fans wielding torches: "Rest easy Sir Patrick, you will be missed." Perhaps the most notable of all, however, sees a fan hoping to draw Cryptic Studios' own attention.

"With the heartbreaking passing of Sir Patrick Stewart, I would like to propose something meaningful that could become a permanent part of Star Trek Online," the post reads. "Please consider recreating Château Picard, Jean-Luc Picard's family vineyard in La Barre, France, as a peaceful, explorable location on Earth."

Comments highlight how popular the fan's idea is, with the top response saying, "That would be great." Others dub it "a brilliant idea," while more ponder what else the devs could add in honor of Stewart: "Can we get a statue of him as SFA too? That feels fitting for Captain Picard."

It's bittersweet, honestly – there's no denying how sad the actor's death is, but it's more than evident that he's left one behemoth of an impact in our hearts.

Here's hoping Cryptic Studios hears players' requests and considers adding a little something as a nod toward the real-world Captain Picard himself – it's clear the community would stand behind such a heartfelt addition, anyway.

Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's son says Star Trek will "get better" under new Paramount leadership: "Not that they were bad, but I think there's a fresh perspective."

On the road to new expansion Evercold, Square Enix has introduced a new minigame to Final Fantasy 14 in its ever-beloved virtual casino, the Gold Saucer – a typing battle that's already spurring all the chaos.

Keyboard Brawler, which is set to depart the Gold Saucer's lineup of silly little minigames as Evercold releases this January, is pretty simple. You progress through waves, in other words, "battles," by typing specific words that pop up to attack enemies.

Speed and accuracy are key (pardon the pun) here, as they are in most typing games, but folks are having to grapple with more than just their own hands, it would appear.

First, there are the impossible words – yes, I mean literally impossible if you've got a US or UK English keyboard, as there are words from languages like German that contain diacritical marks like the umlaut (impossible unless you use key commands to access them, of course, but that's not exactly convenient or realistic in the midst of a high-speed typing battle).

One player's screenshot on Reddit highlights the debacle.

It shows the word "doppelgänger," umlaut and all, with the bewildered poster asking, "What am I supposed to do about that?"

Over on X, others can be seen encountering the same word (and others with diacritical markers), too: "Who thought putting 'doppelgänger' in Keyboard Brawler was a good idea like what the hell?" What the hell, indeed, anon. What the hell, indeed. It'd be one thing if the impossible words were alone in setting fans back…

But, they're not. There's also, sadly, the issue of bots, cheaters, and plugins. As one thread highlights, the whole cheating problem has come on fast – Keyboard Brawler only came out a couple of days ago, after all.

"Who the hell is botting Keyboard Brawler lmao it just came out," the poster writes, baffled. "Or maybe they're just a really good touchtypist idk." Attached is a video of… well, yeah, probably, bots playing the minigame.

A quick look at all Keyboard Brawler discussions on social media shows this isn't an isolated case, either. Players are complaining about cheaters left, right, and center, unfortunately, but I suppose it's something I've come to expect as a hardened fan of the MMO myself.

Heck, how many people actually play the Slice is Right legitimately anymore with the, uh, plugin that I shall not be naming here…? Some Warriors of Light aren't new to cheating, to say the least.

Will Square Enix change anything about its limited-time Gold Saucer event, though? Perhaps, and I do hope they at least axe some of the words that English speakers genuinely can't type on native keyboards – fingers crossed.

Final Fantasy 14 devs say Evercold's new Evolved mode isn't massive power creep: "If you don't want to change, you don't have to"

Redeeming Ishin codes is a great way to stock up on Rerolls so you can change your character - from the way they look to their fighting style. Meanwhile, Yen is used to upgrade your character, and you'll need both to get the most out of this school simulation game.

There are of course different ways to enjoy this Roblox experience. You might want to simply participate in school life, learn to play an instrument, or hang out at the cat cafe, but you can also learn to protect yourself and your friends from other schoolkids in a bid for control. Either way, these are the latest Ishin codes you'll want to redeem.

While you're here, take a look at the latest Roblox promo codes that grant rewards to your Roblox account for use across experiences.

All Ishin codes

These are the Ishin codes you can redeem right now:

• 1M - 45x Rerolls new!
• srydude - 35x Rerolls latest!
• SKATE - 65x Rerolls latest!
• RIDE - 13,500x Yen latest!
• HALLO - 65x Rerolls
• PETS - 12,500x Yen
• WATER - 5,000x Yen
• SOSORRY - 40x Rerolls
• restart - 40x Rerolls
• 3KTHANKS - 45x Rerolls

Ishin codes tend to award players with either Yen or Rerolls, so depending on your needs, you might not always get what you want. That said, both are super useful, and these promos are certainly generous with how much they give away for free.

How to redeem Ishin codes

To redeem Ishin codes, you must first join the Luure Roblox group. Then you'll be able to redeem promos in-game by opening the main menu. To do this, hit Tab on keyboard, the menu button on controller, or the menu icon on mobile, shown as three horizontal lines. Next, select the Codes option from the bottom of the list. Enter a code into the [CODE] box and click Claim to get your rewards.

It's worth keeping in mind that Ishin codes are case-sensitive, so make sure you enter them exactly as they appear in the list above.

Expired Ishin codes

• GG
• WHEELS
• ripscythe
• RELEASE!
• WEBACK

A few Ishin codes have already expired, and those currently on our list at the top of the page will no doubt be invalidated in time, so be sure to redeem them as soon as you see them.

In news I can't imagine Sony will be pleased about, the PS4 dashboard – complete with a number of working games – has now been ported to Roblox, and even an apparent takedown hasn't been enough to stop it.

As highlighted by content creator KreekCraft, the "PlayStation Experience" Roblox game offered exactly what its name suggested, with a full boot-up screen and working home menu containing a number of playable games, including Five Nights at Freddy's, Undertale, The Simpsons Hit & Run, and even Roblox itself. Eurogamer reports that it tried the Roblox game's version of Hit & Run, and describes it as mostly identical to the original release.

I'm sure you'll not be surprised to hear that it didn't take long for the PlayStation Experience to get taken down, but the lead of developer Redwing Works isn't backing down so easily. "Welp, I like to be transparent, HATE that the other game got taken down, so we will stand RIGHT behind the line. HERE IS THE GAME!!!!!" the dev, who goes by Robin, writes, sharing what (based on footage online) appears to be a replica of the original PlayStation experience, only this time called "Rostation Experience."

The game's description doesn't make any reference to AI being used to make the Play- sorry, Rostation Experience, but vibe-coded PC ports and recompilations sure are everywhere these days – just look at the viral Bloodborne: The Hunter's Dream project that listed AI bot Claude as one of the contributors. Needless to say, a lot of reactions online assume that the controversial tech was used here, too.

But will the Rostation Experience last any longer than its predecessor? A line in the 'new' game's description appears to make an attempt to throw a safety net under it: "RoStation is an original fan project and isn't affiliated with any console maker." Something tells me that wouldn't stop Sony – or, for that matter, any of the devs behind the games that have been copied into the Roblox project – being upset about its existence, though.

Epic wants to pay you $50,000 to vibe code an AI slop game.

Here we are, a decade removed from the controversial launch of No Man's Sky, and developer Hello Games is still finding ways to improve its increasingly beloved space sandbox. No Man's Sky update 7.10, Forsaken, has just landed, marking the game's fifth major update in 2026 alone, and it makes good on a teaser that's haunted fans since well before launch.

Yes, you can now "fly directly to neighboring stars for the first time," as the trailer for Forsaken explains. Nearby stars will appear as brighter spots in the sky, and you can simply point your ship toward one to see the system's name and get a button prompt to warp to it. Previously, you had to open the galaxy map in order to chart your course to a new star system.

The ability to just warp directly to new star systems was seemingly teased at the end of the infamous E3 2014 trailer for No Man's Sky – the one that appeared at PlayStation's press conference and set impossibly high expectations for the game. That trailer also teased co-op, a feature that would be added to the game years after launch, and it seems the studio's commitment to making good on the game's pre-release promise is still going strong.

Of course, seamless warping is just one small part of the Forsaken update. You can check out the full patch notes for all the details, but other major additions include new Forsaken traders offering corvette modules in exchange for rare goods, an immersive HUD mode, and some Halloween-appropriate new spooky biological samples to seek out.

Arguably the biggest news, however, is that No Man's Sky is now available on mobile, which the devs once considered a "seemingly impossible technical challenge." The mobile version is well under 5GB, which is all the more impressive given just how big the game has gotten in the decade since its launch.

These are the best space games you can play today.

When does the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season start is a question we now know the answer to, as it will get underway on November 1, 2026. The tagline for the fresh season is "The greatest adventure of all time" and you can expect things to get switched up, with a new map to explore, fresh faces to meet, and no doubt some updated mechanics to get to grips with.

Epic aren't known for resting on their laurels and are always planning the next stage of development in Fortnite, so there will certainly be more changes brought in during the course of the upcoming season and beyond. If you're looking ahead to the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season and are wondering what changes it may bring us, then here's everything we know about it so far.

What will be the biggest changes made for the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season?

Although Epic haven't officially confirmed much more than the name and tagline for the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season, they have also released a number of teasers which give us a good idea of what's to come. The season is going to be themed around anime pirates, with One Piece being confirmed as a significant part of that.

As rounded up by HYPEX, we've so far seen that One Piece characters Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Ace, and Buggy will all feature, alongside A$AP Rocky, Charlotte, Cuddle Team Leader, Hatsune Miku, Hope, Jonesy, Kasane Teto, Lil Uzi Vert, and Oscar as part of a stacked line up!

There are also going to be six distinct pirate crews in Treasure Hunters, featuring Jones & Hope, Straw Hat Crew (One Piece), A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Kasane Teto & Hatsune Miku, plus a 6th unknown crew – perhaps that one will be ours? It's likely you'll be battling against these crews to secure the loot, as was revealed during the teaser – "You won't be the only one drawn to these shores. Hope you're ready for reality's greatest treasure hunt."

We've also got an early look at the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season map in the post above, showing a more compact island with plenty of POIs within close proximity to each other. There are also lots of bays for ships to dock in, which ties to the overall piracy and treasure hunting theme.

How much will the Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass cost?

Fortnite is free to play, but buying the Battle Pass will get you lots of additional rewards. The Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass will be available for 800 V-Bucks, which means it will still be enough to purchase the smallest V-Bucks bundle in the Fortnite store, priced at $8.99 / £6.99 to get 800 V-Bucks. By completing the Battle Pass you can earn 800 V-Bucks back through unlocks, but you can no longer collect additional V-Bucks above that.

Usually it's possible to get a head start by buying the Battle Bundle upgrade, which would get you to Tier 25 on the Battle Pass instantly – however with this being a short mini-season, the pass may be smaller so this could work differently. Doing so previously would cost you 2,600 V-Bucks, which you can get for $22.99 / £17.49. You can also sign up to the Fortnite Crew subscription service, which costs $11.99 / £9.99 per month but gives you access to all of the Fortnite Passes including the Battle Pass, as well as awarding a bonus 800 V-Bucks every month and other exclusive rewards.

If you don't want to spend any money, you can always try to get free Fortnite V-Bucks for the Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass, but don't fall for online scams! If you choose to save up some V-Bucks, remember that you only need 800 of them to unlock the next Fortnite Battle Pass starting in November 2026.

And that's everything we know about the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season for now, but keep checking back and we'll have more details as soon as they're revealed!

GTA 5 and San Andreas' leading men have given some advice to the new GTA 6 leads as the game is poised to change their lives forever.

In the pantheon of iconic gaming protagonists, there are many superpowered beings, creatures, chosen ones, and heroes. But GTA, as a series, has managed to create a number of gaming icons who are just guys. Sure, they can take a lot of damage, survive massive car crashes, and survive a blimp crash as long as Davey is in the vicinity, but for all intents and purposes they are just guys. And yet, you can't go a week without seeing CJ saying "Aw shit, here we go again." So the role of a GTA protagonist is a big space to fill, and one that our currently officially unknown (but fans have likely figured it out) leads of GTA 6 will have to learn firsthand in about a month's time.

Speaking to All Out Gaming at MCM Comic Con, Ned Luke, Shawn Fonteno, and Steven Ogg – GTA 5's Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, respectively – and Young Maylay – GTA San Andreas' Carl 'CJ' Johnson – were asked what their advice is for the upcoming duo of GTA leads. "Have fun," Luke says, while Maylay imparts, "get ready." Fonteno says, "just listen to Rockstar," adding, "they're going to lead you in the right direction," while taking a page out of his cousin's book, saying, "get ready" and that "it's a ride that they're going to be on for a while."

Maylay also warned the trio that "my game was 20 years ago. So when [GTA] 6 comes out, you guys will be in my position." He explains that everyone lining up to meet him at Comic Con are "the OG's," recalling, "You got the guys with the gray hair coming in saying, 'Hey, man, you're the guy CJ,'" Maylay adds, "you're going to grow with your fanbase."

However, despite the different generations of gamers having played different GTA entries, Maylay notes, "It's not like everything's gonna get shut down from you guys, because I wasn't shut down because of you guys."

GTA: Vice City's writing was "awful," Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser says, but acting icon Ray Liotta "made it sound good"

Once you've done that though, these codes will give you plenty of chances to roll for more balls.

Cyberpunk 2077 just saw the release of update 2.5, a patch that accompanied the Edgerunners 2 debut on Netflix – and one that CD Projekt Red hoped would be very special.

Paweł Sasko, who is now working as Cyberpunk 2 associate director, reveals as much in an entry on the studio's official blog, explaining that the developers wanted the connection between all of Cyberpunk's media to feel "consistent" – which, yes, means Edgerunners and Cyberpunk 2077, as it "has always worked best when you can feel it's one consistent universe, a nexus of stories told from different perspectives."

He continues, referencing characters from both the RPG and its animated Netflix series: "V, Johnny, David, Lucy, the characters from our comics and now the new crew from Edgerunners 2 all experience the same world, but they see something different in it. I wanted the game to acknowledge that connection directly."

Not only that, but CD Projekt Red – and especially Sasko – wanted that acknowledgement to be great.

So great, in fact, that it (in the form of update 2.5, of course) would outshine the patch that accompanied the first season of Edgerunners four years back.

In Sasko's own words, "I wanted to create an update for the game that will be much more meaningful than the one we created for Edgerunners in 2022." That "one," as he says, was 1.6 – a patch aptly dubbed the Edgerunners Update, adding transmogs, cross-progression, and more.

This time around, update 2.5 has brought a new quest to the RPG that acts as a prequel to Edgerunners 2.

"Players will unlock a new quest that takes place before the events of the show, following the last job of Team King. It introduces King, Meshuga, Miguel, and Emily, and takes players into a part of Night City they have never properly explored before," Sasko describes – and, again, consistency between the show and game was key.

"From the beginning, believability and immersion were the most important for me. If these characters exist both in the game and in the show, they should feel like the same people," as he concludes. "That is why it was incredibly important to get the same voice actors from Edgerunners 2 into Cyberpunk 2077."

And so they did just that – and I'd argue that it's worked out quite nicely for CD Projekt Red, too.

Following Edgerunners 2 and update 2.5, the RPG did hit its highest Steam player count in three years, after all. It serves as a testament to the ever-growing quality of Cyberpunk 2077, I'd say, and, yes, how good the collaborative patch has been this time around.

CD Projekt Red just can't stop updating Cyberpunk 2077: "This world keeps giving us reasons to return to it."

It's no secret that Final Fantasy 14 is scrapping its infamous two-minute meta and adopting an entirely new job system, Evolved, come Evercold this winter – but just how different will that system play, and how much more damage will it allow for?

As a hardcore raider myself, one thing about Evercold has been heavy on my mind since the expansion's reveal at Fan Fest this summer: the introduction of the Reborn and Evolved job systems, with the latter being entirely new to the MMO.

The reason it's been heavy on my mind is simple – Square Enix implied that the Evolved system, which rearranges our class skills into a simpler, neater format, hotbar-wise, will let us deal more damage.

Michael-Christopher Koji Fox, localization lead, lays out the differences between the Reborn system – which is essentially what we're playing with now – and Evolved in a new interview with content creators Sarah Jane, Kwisty, and Pezz on YouTube, though, and I'm slightly less concerned now... I think.

He describes a bit of what we already know (e.g. the fact that Evercold's debut jobs, the Bastion and mystery DPS, won't have a Reborn mode) first, assuring fans, "If you don't want to change, you don't have to."

The thing is, though, those of us who engage in Ultimates and other "hard" content might feel the need to if the Reborn mode – the original system – is capable of less damage… right?

Well, according to Fox, not exactly: "I don't think it's like, 'Okay, this Evolved mode is going to do 50% more damage.' I think it's going to be very negligible."
That's a relief – right? And, it all boils down to how different the Reborn and Evolved systems are.

"I think it's just because the modes are so different and some of the skill rotations are going to be so different that damage will be dealt in different ways," as Fox states. "That might end up affecting" damage throughout a fight, but it shouldn't matter in terms of ability to clear and all that.

"It's not going to be something that's going to be a deal breaker," as Square Enix wants "to keep it as small as possible." But it was "unavoidable" altogether, as the modes can't play the same way – unavoidable, but again, negligible.

I doubt that Fox's words are enough to satisfy most raiders, however, sadly, knowing how highly regarded parses are (and likely always will be). Should the Evolved version of one's abilities allow for even the slightest, ittiest-bittiest boost in damage, they'll probably opt to abandon the trusty ol' Reborn mode – ask me how I know.

I'm not sure what I'll choose myself just yet, as an Astrologian. I'll have to wait and see what the promised healer changes will look like before I do – keeping tanks alive, damage dealers buffed, and DOTs up is tricky enough as it is.

The Welcome to Paradise quest in Cyberpunk 2077 has players follow a guided tour around the city in order to track down a revolutionary called Haze, all at the request of her concerned sister Aera. This takes you through a variety of locations with a recording of Night City founder Richard Night explaining a skewed history of the metropolis, and Haze providing her own contrary take against him. If you want to find out how to start the quest and what rewards there might be, here's what you need to know.

How to start the Welcome to Paradise quest in Cyberpunk 2077

To get the Welcome to Paradise quest, all you need to do is complete the Heist mission and reach 15 Street Cred. On having done this, after some time you'll get a message from a new character called Aera who will ask you to find her sister Haze, who's stolen some sort of chip from somebody and hasn't been seen since. If you accept this minor job, you'll be able to play it through whenever you're ready.

Full walkthrough for Welcome to Paradise in Cyberpunk 2077

Much of the Welcome to Paradise quest is very straightforward - going to marked locations and interacting with terminals - but there's a few points where it can get tricky. We'll take you through the whole thing below and mark out the areas that involve more challenge, so you're ready for everything.

1. After getting the call, head to the marked location in Kabuki. Scan for the metal sheet to the East that covers the sewer pipe (shown above) and pull it away to reveal a Shard called "NC Revitalization Project - Identity Cache". Slot it to start the guided tour program.
2. Head to the Night Corporation Tower and listen to the first step of the guided tour, including the drone tour, then do the same thing at the Memorial Park, Arasaka Memorial, and City Hall.

3. The next tour step is the Biotechnica Flats, though some people will be obstructing the way to the terminal (you can move them non-violently with a 17 Body Dialogue Check).
4. Head to the NCART station for another tour. Afterwards, go into your inventory and decrypt the shard for new information (see below).

5. The next stop at the Dam is blocked off by 6th Street Enemies who you'll need to clear out (they're easy to ambush from above if you fast travel to the nearest location).
6. Head to the Medical Center back in the city. This time Haze will tell you that she's being trailed by a car. Open the Shard you decrypted in stage 4 again to find out more about the car and figure out who's following her.

7. Head to Kabuki for the final leg of the tour and the last of Richard Night. Haze will drop a clue that mentions a bridge nearby.
8. Head to the marked location, and look at the beach below you and to the right to see several Militech soldiers (see below).
9. Defeat the soldiers and you'll discover Haze's body, along with a Shard containing evidence of her killer. At this point you need to meet with Aera again to conclude the quest and tell her what you've discovered.

Should you give Aera the Shard?

There's no difference in reward depending on whether you give Aera the Shard or not, as you'll get 1,050 EDs, and the same XP and Street Cred bonuses either way. All it changes is your final interaction with her:

• If you give Aera the Shard: She's grateful for your help, but obviously angered at Haze's death and clearly plotting some sort of revenge, or at least to carry on her sister's crusade in some way.
• If you don't give Aera the Shard: She's angry at you for not giving her the ammunition she needs to hurt Haze's murderers, but the implication is that it keeps her safer not to have such explosive information on her.

There doesn't appear to be any follow-up to this quest later on, such as a moment where we discover that Aera successfully struck a blow against Night Corp or was killed in her quest for vengeance.

Pinkie Promise codes can award you with free revives to give you an extra chance if you get caught by the deadly Pinkie Pie in this My Little Pony fan game. While you're trying to help the usually adorable pony plan a party, she'll trigger a deadly game of hide and seek, and these codes come in useful if you find it hard to stay hidden.

While I never thought I'd see My Little Pony and horror combined, it certainly seems to work in this Roblox mascot adventure as Pinkie Pie gets a little too obsessed with planning her latest party. Help her out and don't break your pinky promise by sneaking into her room... or else.

If you're looking for rewards with a wider use across all of your experiences, then we've got all of the details on the current Roblox promo codes.

All Pinkie Promise codes

The Pinkie Promise codes you can redeem right now are:

• PINKIEPROMISE - 1x Revive

There is currently only one Pinkie Promise code available, offering up one free revive, which usually costs Robux. Hopefully more codes will be released with the launch of Chapter 2, and I'll keep an eye on the situation.

How to redeem Pinkie Promise codes

To redeem Pinkie Promise codes, you must first access the Shop from the main menu. You can't access the codes menu from within a game. From the Shop, either scroll to the bottom or select the Codes tab which will take you straight there. Here, you'll find the Enter Code box where you can copy a code from the list above. Click Redeem to claim your rewards.

It's worth keeping in mind that Pinkie Promise codes are not case-sensitive, so you only have to ensure you get the spelling correct.

Expired Pinkie Promise codes

• There are currently no expired codes.

Since we're only on the first Chapter of Pinkie Promise, there are no expired yet, but that will likely change in the future, and I'll add any invalid codes to this list so you don't waste your time trying to redeem them.

Ariadne in Cyberpunk 2077 will call you out of nowhere with the offer to become a brand ambassador for some clothing she's sent you, but it's not clear exactly what she wants and what she's hoping to get from out, nor how to progress with this secret quest. In fact, what you need to do is incredibly easy, and if you can do it, you'll get some money and some Witcher themed gear to wear around Cyberpunk 2077 as a reward!

Want some more help with the 2.5 update? Find out how to dual wield in Cyberpunk 2077, or all the best Cyberpunk 2077 mods you can now get on console!

What to do for Ariadne in Cyberpunk 2077

After Ariadne messages you in Cyberpunk 2077 to become a brand ambassador, all you need to do to complete her request is the following:

1. Head back to V's original apartment in Megabuilding H10.
2. By the front door, as you go in, you should see a new crate on the left (see above).
3. Inside are three pieces of clothing and two weapons. Equip all three pieces of clothing, including the sunglasses!
4. Once all the clothing is equipped, open your message chain with Ariadne again, and there should now be an option to "Take Picture".
5. This will open photo mode, though you don't actually have to take a picture, it will act like you did.
6. Ariadne will thank you for the picture.
7. Later on, Ariadne will contact you again telling you that your sponsorship deal is over. However, she will also send you 4300 EDs, and tell you that you can keep the clothes.

This marks the end of this unlabelled quest, but what's more important is that the clothing and weapons inside the chest are all easter eggs and references to The Witcher series, the other major gaming franchise by CD Projekt Red.

The full list of items Ariadne gives you is as follows:

• Ursine Jacket (Outer Torso): This coat shares some aesthetic similarities to the Ursine armor from the Witcher series, which was associated with the School of the Bear.
• Ursine Pants (Legs): Same as above.
• The Professor's Spectacles (Face): In The Witcher 3 DLC "Hearts of Stone", Geralt could acquire an identical set of sunglasses with the same name, which themselves were an easter egg referencing the movie "Leon The Professional".
• Sihil (Sword): A blade that does extra damage to drones, mechs and robots, as well as enemies affected by quickhacks. This is a fantasy-style sword that references a blade with an identical name in the Witcher novels.
• Boar Carver (Knife): A fantasy-style dagger. In The Witcher games, Geralt uses a similar blade to carve trophies from his kills.

Stop us if you've heard this before, but No Man's Sky and Hello Games lead Sean Murrary is yet again posting cryptic emojis online with zero context or explanation – cryptic emojis that have notably always led to updates in the past.

Remember the cocktail emojis that had folks buzzing about the Cosmos update a few months back? Or, how about how Murray teased the Remnant patch, which launched with a Garry's Mod-style gravity gun in February, with hi-vis vest emojis?

And you can't forget the stadium emojis, which were teasing the big Xeno Arena additions, or the The Swarm update, which was hinted at via bee emojis and nothing else. It's a pattern, to say the least. Now, Murray is back with more, having just left a post with naught more than a decaying rose emoji – you know the one – over on Twitter.

The Hello Games boss has put the same emoji up on Facebook and other social media platforms, meaning that this probably isn't a drill and is, much like past vague emoji-posting, some sort of mysterious teaser about… well, something. There's no telling just what it could be pointing toward, however.

Comments see folks speculating about seasons on planets, spooky expeditions, and, perhaps most amusingly, the death of No Man's Sky to finally make way for Light No Fire (probably not happening, y'all, sorry).

As one fan jests, "Hey Sean… So when can I get some Light No Fire news?" Others are simply mindblown at the prospect of yet another No Man's Sky update, considering how many we've witnessed this year alone.

There's also the fact that we just got the mobile launch of the space game, which was a bit mind-blowing in itself, seeing as Hello Games had to somehow manage to compress No Man's Sky into less than 5GB.

It's clear to me that these developers are always hard at work on one thing or another (even if the one thing we want most, ahem, Light No Fire, is being kept tightly under wraps for the time being, sadly).

I'd wager we'll see a few – or more – decaying rose emojis from Murray and Hello Games later today before we finally learn what they're supposed to be teasing, so I'd advise keeping a close eye on their official social media channels.

"If people weren't playing No Man's Sky, I don't think we would want to do updates," says Sean Murray, but he'd probably try to sneak in more content years later anyway.

Cyberpunk 2077 is soaring the charts on Steam once again after a good three years thanks to a healthy mix of update 2.5, the second season of Edgerunners, and a whopping 70% off sale to boot – and CD Projekt Red has noticed.

With Cyberpunk 2 still underway, it's nice to see the original RPG continue to get love from fans and developers alike.

The recent 2.5 update introduced everything from a new quest as a prequel for Edgerunners 2 to support for, erm, adult mods on consoles, for example, proving that the game is very much active in both players' minds and CD Projekt Red's own.

The big patch (and second season of the Netflix series) has brought folks back to Night City, too.

A quick look over at SteamDB shows that, over the weekend, Cyberpunk 2077 hit a peak player count of 187,215 – its highest since October 2023, when it reached 274,526 after the release of its massive Phantom Liberty DLC and 2.0 update.

It's not all that surprising, then, to witness a similar spike following 2.5 now and all of its additions, and, of course, the Netflix series' new season, which dropped last week.

This isn't the first time the animated television show has helped boost the RPG's players, either – heck, way back in 2022, the same happened with the first season of Edgerunners. It probably also helps that the game's got a nice 70% discount on Steam currently.

What is especially notable, however, is CD Projekt Red's response. Over on X, Cyberpunk 2 associate director Paweł Sasko highlights the new rise in players.

"It's been hell of a weekend," he writes. "Peak of 187k concurrent players on Steam alone, a lot of hilarious threads and meme clips, it all fills my heart with joy."

He then looks to what more CD Projekt Red could do to make Cyberpunk 2077 even better after all these years: "Chooms, give us feedback, what we can improve, where we have missed the mark with 2.5? Your perception is everything." Talk about dedication.

Comments see fans commending the devs for their hard work (and, unsurprisingly, asking for more expansions and other additions) – but I'm honestly personally just looking forward to hearing more about Cyberpunk 2… whenever that may come.

CD Projekt Red has "hired so many modders" that Cyberpunk 2 co-lead says "I think half of the quest team is all former modders"

In the week since BioWare's sudden shutdown and Mass Effect 5's cancellation, fans of the RPG series have rallied around a petition to "Save Mass Effect" that's gained nearly 200,000 signatures. Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale (who voice the male and female versions of protagonist Commander Shepard, respectively) are both on board with the community's efforts, too.

"Mass Effect holds a special place in the hearts of millions of players worldwide," the petition's description reads. "Its rich and immersive sci-fi universe, with Commander Shepard leading the iconic crew aboard the Normandy, has captivated gamers for years. However, recent revelations have cast a shadow over its future. The decline in dedicated resources and ambiguous development plans from Electronic Arts (EA) threaten to leave this beloved series at a standstill, jeopardizing its incredible legacy."

The petition doesn't call for publisher EA to reverse course on BioWare's fate, specifically, but asks the company to take "decisive action by committing to continued development of Mass Effect" with "proper funding, adequate staffing, and time allocation to maintain and advance the high standards the franchise is known for."

Should EA be unwilling to spend millions producing another new Mass Effect - separate from the leaked Mass Effect Universe - the petition suggests the publisher could instead license the franchise "to another studio that shares the passion and vision to keep it alive and allow it to flourish anew."

"Both solutions offer a way forward. By ensuring the ongoing expansion and enhancement of the Mass Effect universe, EA would not only preserve a cherished piece of gaming history but also continue to contribute to the cultural and emotional impact it has on gamers worldwide," the petition continues.

Famed FemShep actor Jennifer Hale jumped online to say she wants to think about a world in which a fan Kickstarter campaign, a game studio, and a group of investors could work together to restore the series. Matt Meer posted a similar video, asking people to "hold the line" and "save Mass Effect" – before encouraging fans to also sign the petition.

Mass Effect Universe supposedly featured "Hitman-style freedom" and a "galactic Cold War," according to BioWare insider

A24 and Alex Garland's Elden Ring movie is supposedly the studio's most expensive production of all time with a reported budget of $200 million. FromSoftware's RPG adaptation ain't cheap.

The figure comes courtesy of a recent Wall Street Journal report that states A24 is spending "nearly $200 million" to adapt the landmark dark fantasy game, not including marketing costs, according to sources in the know. Earlier in the year, the reported figure was closer to $100 million - still A24's biggest movie at the time.

A $200 million budget would make Elden Ring far and away the studio's priciest feature yet. To put things into perspective, the arthouse company reportedly spent around $70 million on last year's Marty Supreme, starring Timothee Chalamet, which was previously its most expensive big screen flick. Before that, Alex Garland's Civil War carried a $50 million price tag.

A24 is essentially dropping blockbuster cash on one of its first major blockbuster bets - at $200 million, the cost of adapting Elden Ring is closer to the budget the Marvel Cinematic Universe normally plays around with.

But it's not necessarily a hugely risky bet. Elden Ring is one of the generation's most popular and defining games - analyst Rhys Elliott recently reported the game of the year winner had sold over 36 million copies, bringing in more than $2 billion in revenue. There's no guarantee that the Elden Ring movie can repeat the game's success - it still needs to be good first - but the name awareness could definitely help it become a box office hit.

The Elden Ring movie hits theatres on March 3, 2028. Kit Connor (Heartstopper) and Cailee Spaeny (Beef, Alien: Romulus) are starring in the fantasy picture, which wrapped filming earlier this summer. George R.R. Martin is on board as a producer after helping FromSoftware create the game's lore.

Clean Crew codes might not always provide any competitive advantage when it comes to upping your cleaning skills, but they can add a bit of color to your work day - literally. Whether it's stickers, colors to repaint your skin, or even lobby music, the cosmetic items offered for free thanks to these codes add some cheer to an otherwise dirty job.

Sometimes, you might even be lucky enough to get a handful of Mula from these promo codes. Though we haven't seen any in while, Clean Crew codes historically have granted a boost to your bank balance, so get cleaning and earn as many as you can in the Roblox simulation in the meantime.

If you're after some more general avatar rewards to use in all of your experiences, then we've got the current Roblox promo codes covered too.

All Clean Crew codes

These are the Clean Crew codes you can redeem right now:

• CrewAllOver - 'Crew All Over' color
• 4702 - 'The Grimp' sticker
• BUGFIX - 'Crazy Bug' sticker
• ECLIPSE - 'Baby Red' sticker
• BUDDYBOOGIE- Buddy Boogie special menu theme music

Clean Crew codes have more recently been leaning towards cosmetic rewards rather than currencies, but there's still no harm in collecting these exclusive items while you have the chance.

How to redeem Clean Crew codes

To redeem Clean Crew codes, simply select the Codes option from the main menu, which is located in the bottom left-hand corner. This open up the codes redemption screen, where you can enter a code into the Type Here box and click Redeem to claim your rewards.

Expired Clean Crew codes

• 10MIL- 25x Mula
• 20MILVISITS- 25x Mula

Previous Clean Crew codes have been for Mula, the in-game currency, which is a bit more valuable than those we've seen more recently. With any luck, this will return, but in the meantime, you should still redeem valid codes as soon as you see them to avoid missing out.

Either way, the rewards will be sent to you via the in-game mailbox, so head there next to pick them up. You don't have to do that immediately, but in-game mails usually have an expiry date of one month after sending, so don't leave it too long!

The main mission added in Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 update is called Clampdown, designed to tie into the second season of Edgerunners. It's available to play for free for anybody who's downloaded the 2.5 patch for Cyberpunk 2077, but you'll need to walk through a few hoops to unlock it. If you want to play Clampdown, here's how to do just that and what you need to get given this quest.

How to play the new Clampdown mission in Cyberpunk 2077

To unlock the Edgerunners Clampdown mission and get to play it in Cyberpunk's 2.5 patch, you need to complete the following milestones within the game:

1. Complete "The Heist" story mission, as well as the following quests: "Love Like Fire" and "Playing for Time". This will give you full access to the open world of Cyberpunk 2077.
2. Complete any two gigs for the fixer Wakako Okada (found in Westbrook's Japantown).

Many Doors codes reward players with Knobs, the essential in-game currency that can be used during games to unlock life-saving items like lockpicks and vitamins. As you make your way through the daunting, eerie corridors of this deadly walking simulator, you'll need lockpicks, a flashlight, and other survival items, or you might not even make it past door 13.

Yes, you'll earn Knobs by making your way through as many doors as possible each time you take on this Roblox survival challenge, but buying items in the pre-game store can help you get further. That's why you should redeem the Doors codes below before your next run and spend them on some handy items, thus earning you even more Knobs in return.

Dual-wielding in Cyberpunk 2077 is now possible with the 2.5 update with a skill that allows V to shoot two guns at the same time, akimbo/gunslinger style. It's a hell of an update that allows pistol users not to sacrifice damage output, but it's not something you'll be able to do off-the-bat without a bit of perk investment. If you want to dual-wield guns, I'll explain how to do that in Cyberpunk 2077 below.

How to dual wield in Cyberpunk 2077

To dual-wield guns in Cyberpunk 2077, players need to get the "Double Trouble" perk from the "Cool" Skill Tree, which unlocks when your Cool reaches level 9.

Once you've invested a Perk Point into Double Trouble, you'll be able to equip two pistols, but they both have to be Power Pistols or Power Revolvers. You can't dual-wield smart pistols, tech pistols, SMGs, shotguns, or anything else.

Once equipped, players can fire both guns simultaneously, though the weapons each have a 37.5% reduction in damage. If you invest two points into Double Trouble, you can unlock a special move called Heywood Hurricane, in which you rapidly fire both guns for one second and quickly refill ammo spent on successful shots.

There are also four perks tied to Double Trouble that further enhance it, which each improving Dual Wielding in some way - either reducing stamina costs, increasing accuracy, or buffing the Heywood Hurricane move.

If you're interested in guns, make sure you check out all the Cyberpunk 2077 best weapons! Or if you're getting back into the game with the 2.5 update, make sure you refresh your knowledge of all the most important Cyberpunk 2077 tips.

Final Fantasy 14 players have endured a chaotic 21 hours or so – nearly an entire day – as PHP troubles sparked security lockdowns on new logins from Square Enix… but we're so back, baby.

That's right, Final Fantasy 14 has finally reopened its pearly gates to the public after all the PHP anxieties, with Square Enix announcing the "resumption" of new logins earlier today.

The announcement came almost an entire day after the developers first closed the doors on folks chomping at the bit to enter the MMO, citing the need for some fresh "security enhancements" as the reason for temporarily halting new logins.

The devs also stated yesterday that "Following the suspension of new logins, the housing auto-demolition timer has been paused on all Worlds," and promised to "monitor developments and assess the situation before announcing when the timer will resume."

And, well, now that logins are picking back up, we've received word on when housing auto-demolition should return, too – and, sadly, the controversial feature is making its return next week.

"Security enhancement work related to the PHP programming language has been completed," an update on the housing situation from Square Enix reads. "The automatic housing demolition timer, which is currently suspended, will therefore resume on" – drumroll, please – October 26. Sigh.

"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused." It do just be like that sometimes, I suppose. Use it or lose it and all that.

As for the PHP debacle itself, in case you're out of the loop, there was a major worldwide internet security scare yesterday, basically. It involved PHP, the tech and scripting language that powers a plethora of websites and more.

There were two serious security weaknesses, leading to a lot of shutdowns – heck, even the Steam store went down amid all the issues. It was a lot, but thankfully it seems things are slowly picking back up.

Final Fantasy 14 devs ask for the impossible, beg players to "take time to read" up on the MMO's options before Evercold is out

Roblox The Hollow is a new event taking place in the nine days leading up to Halloween, giving players a chance to unlock some special spooky rewards while running from Roblox's most beloved horror characters.

Horror games are becoming more and more popular both in the wider gaming world and within Roblox, with newer games like 99 Nights in the Forest and Animal Hospital challenging long-standing icons like Piggy in popularity. So, what better time than Halloween to celebrate the booming genre? Here's everything you need to know about The Hollow and the games taking part.

Roblox The Hollow event details

Roblox The Hollow is an ongoing maze event taking place within Roblox as its own experience. When you enter the theater-inspired maze, you'll have to avoid terrifying enemies as you hunt for clues and collect rewards. Each day, the maze gains a new deadly foe who'll stalk you through the game's corridors, each of which are taken straight from Roblox's most beloved horror experiences.

These are the main characters that are appearing in The Hollow:

• Day 1: Seek from DOORS
• Day 2: Twisted Dandy from Dandy’s World
• Day 3: Biter from Demonology
• Day 4: The Deer from 99 Nights in the Forest
• Day 5: Hiachi from The Mimic
• Day 6: Mimic from Animal Hospital
• Day 7: The Inspector from Scary Shawarma Kiosk
• Day 8: The Overseer from Warden
• Day 9: Piggy from Piggy

The challenges are short, but you'll have to start again if you're caught by one of the monsters trailing you. Once you enter the maze, you'll have to find a puzzle room, complete the puzzle within, and retrieve a relic before making it back to the lobby in one piece. By doing so, you'll earn that day's reward, but don't worry if you can't play every day, as each day also has its own dedicated 'floor' in the theater, so you can complete them all whenever you have time (as long as it's before November 2).

All Roblox The Hollow items and rewards

Each day, you'll have the chance to earn a new badge and associated item, provided you complete that day's challenge within the maze. The Badges and items for each day are:

You can also buy these rewards using Tickets earned from participating in other games during the event, in case you don't want to participate in The Hollow itself. There are loads of games included in this list, even some family friendly options like Duck Duck and Fisch.

To earn tickets, you must complete specific quests in these games. Completing each one rewards players with 20 Tickets and an exclusive Badge. The games included in The Hollow event and their respective challenges are as follows:

• Grow a Garden
• Fisch
• +1 Speed Keyboard Escape
• Creatures of Sonaria
• Steal An Egg
• Royale High
• Murderers Vs Sheriffs
• Racket Rivals
• Murder Duels
• Clean All The Leaves
• Hunted
• Carve Wood!
• BasketBall Legends
• Sleep Paralysis
• Search For The Needle
• Prism Runway Show
• Moo Moo Mystery
• Guts and Blackpowder
• Duck Duck
• Welcome to Bloxburg
• Toons Universe
• Tower Defense Simulator
• Survive Overnight in a Mega Store
• Clean Crew
• Sell Lemons
• Paranormal

If you've already completed some of the quests above, for example defeating the Pumpkin Boss in Search for the Needle, you don't have to do it again. Simply teleport to Search for the Needle from within The Hollow, then return to The Hollow, and you'll be able to claim your tickets.

Some bonus items are also available for players with Roblox Plus: Quack-o'-lantern, Trick or Treat Tentacles, and The Spectral Skull of Nevermoor. The Quack-o'-lantern is already available and the other two will follow on days 3 and 6, respectively.

You should also make sure you've picked up the latest Roblox Promo codes for avatar items that you can use across experiences - although there are plenty of spooky customization items available during The Hollow, too.

Lanterns codes can help you boost your character, unlock more Constructs, and collect bonus Lantern Coins in this superhero-inspired adventure. Whichever ring you choose to bond with, your task is to protect the world from threat, and you can only do that by increasing your loadout, power, and stats.

The great thing about Lanterns is that you can play as part of any of the Lantern Corps included in the Roblox experience, keeping your progress with all of them, switching freely whenever you wish. Since they level up separately, though, XP and items are specific to the ring you currently have activated, so keep this in mind when redeeming the Lanterns codes below, as the rewards will apply only to your current loadout.
