The Final Fantasy 14 Typing Minigame Isn’t Even Out Yet And It’s Already Pissing Players Off

V is running out of time. That’s the premise of Cyberpunk 2077: a stolen chip is slowly rewriting their mind. The only way out of this particular predicament ushers V through a cast of fixers, rock stars, and corporate killers who all want something from you. And yet, despite those bewildering stakes, there’s a decent chance you spent most of your time in the game clearing gigs, scanning NCPD crime scenes, and wandering Night City’s neon alleys. Then the credits rolled and, within moments, you were back at the character creator. You’re in good company: Cyberpunk 2077 draws you into that second (or third, or fourth) replay, no matter how many hours you already have in the game. While there’s new content to peruse, such as the brand-new Edgerunners 2 Update, which adds a perk that lets V dual-wield, there are plenty more self-guided replay strats that make this familiar game feel fresh. Here are eight rules to make Night City feel like a place you’ve never been. Gig terms: Start as a Nomad, build around revolvers, and look the part. Nomads are Night City’s outsiders — clans of drifters who live in the Badlands, beyond city limits.

A security researcher has demonstrated a software-only partial jailbreak of the Switch 2, gaining “userland” access that he says “lets us run homebrew, reverse engineer and mod Switch 2 games, back up save files off the Switch, and access most of the Switch 2’s peripherals through MMIO.” The hack relies on the original Switch version of SmileBasic 4, the latest in a long-running series of programming environments and interpreters that run on Nintendo hardware. The so-called “tethered” hack also requires access to a macOS or Linux PC on the same network to run a node.js package that helps enable privileged system access.

Updated: Oct 22, 2026 10:18pm UTCCyberpunk 2 associate game director Pawel Sasko revealed that a good chunk of the game’s staff are actually former modders who CD Projekt Red picked up to work on the highly-anticipated sequel. Sasko made these comments during one of CDPR’s REDstreams on October 21, where the team discussed the bevy of exciting new updates coming to Cyberpunk 2077. As part of this discussion, they explained their decision to introduce cross-platform support for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S, saying this was done both to keep the game fresh and to actively support the creativity of its modders. In fact, the good folks at CDPR have actually partnered with modders in the game’s community as part of these updates, and even credited them with helping keep the title afloat. “The modding community is really keeping the game alive,” Sasko said. “I’m very often looking at what our modders are doing, what they’re building. It’s very exciting. There’s so much creativity.

Has Magic: The Gathering ever been as popular as it is right now? It feels like the long-running card game is having a bit of a moment in terms of bringing fresh players in via its ever-growing roster of Universes Beyond crossover properties. Rightly or wrongly, that means there are more people looking to build collections, whether they’re playing or collecting the cards, and it just so happens that Amazon has rolled out some price cuts on Play Booster Boxes - including the Star Trek one at 26% off just weeks before it even launches. Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Play Booster BoxIt’s worth reminding you that these are Play Booster Boxes, as opposed to Collector Booster ones. Aside from a massive difference in price, Collector Boosters are where you’ll find the most valuable cards in each set. With that caveat out of the way, here are the best Play Booster Box deals we’ve found so far. Save On Magic: The Gathering Play Booster BoxesSure, that Star Trek deal is great, but it’s not the only Universes Beyond property seeing a price cut. In fact, you can find discounts on both Marvel sets, The Hobbit, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

We've had about roughly four decades of games as we generally know them now, and yet somehow, so often their stories feel so limited in scope. I'm not talking about a lack of big, bold ideas, in fact there might be too many of those. I more mean that there are aspects to life that often go uncovered in games. For example, when was the last time you saw a game about a workers strike? Citizen Sleeper 2 has one questline about such a thing, but it's just what the entire game is about. A Line Held Tight, a mecha visual novel about a sci-fi miner's strike, may bridge that gap. A Line Held Tight is being developed by Humble Grove, the studio behind the quiet but impactful No Longer Home. Narrative is at the forefront with this game too, albeit with an emphasis on the choices you make throughout the strike. You play as The Canary, a member of a mining colony who's been cut off by the rest of humanity, set in the 32nd century. "As a strike boils over you’ll help The Canary to decide where their heart and their loyalties lie," the game's Steam page explains.
