Crimson Desert continues to evolve at a rapid pace. This week’s update adds a number of quality-of-life changes, makes the Wyvern a mount, and adds a pinball minigame, because why not? Pearl Abyss has released major updates for the single-player open world action adventure game pretty much every week since launch. It has changed significantly, with everything from combat to endgame reworked. And every now and then, Pearl Abyss will just throw a curve ball in a patch, seemingly just for fun, to keep players on their toes. This week, it's a pinball machine. Random, but brilliant! The Pinball minigame is located to the inn near the Delesyian Institute. The patch adds the Marni Token Exchange where tokens obtained from the Pinball machine can be exchanged for various items, including the Material Box of Fortune, Abyss Artifact, two types of Artifact Chests, a Helm, 13 types of furniture, and three types of gear crafting recipes. Pinball isn’t the only minigame added with today's p...

The Xbox Series S is taking some heat once again following comments made by the founder of Moon Studio, the team behind action RPG No Rest for the Wicked , which has been available on Steam Early Access since 2024. During the PlayStation State of Play, it was confirmed the game was coming to PS5 this October in celebration of its 1.0 release, but Xbox users will have to wait. This isn't due to any kind of marketing deal with PlayStation. Rather, it has to do with limitations with the Xbox Series S. In response to a fan inquring about the lack of an Xbox release date, studio founder and game director Thomas Mahler pointed to the Series S. "Series S is making that rough," said Mahler in a comment on Discord. "We'll ship it after in a good way once it's optimized like crazy for Switch 2 and Xbox." Another user joked that a mobile version would follow the Xbox and Switch 2 versions, to which Mahler responded: "Series S and mobile specs aren't too fa...

We finally have a release date for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight on Nintendo Switch 2. The game will come to the Nintendo platform on September 18th, and you can pre-order it right now. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will have a standard edition (USD $69.99) and a deluxe edition (USD $89.99), the latter of which will give players extra digital content. Unlike the deluxe edition on the Xbox, PS5, and PC release, this won't include any kind of early access, so there's no need to shell out extra dollars to play the game sooner on Switch 2. The deluxe edition will include the Legacy Collection DLC which includes new suits, vehicles, and Batcave items inspired by classic Batman media like the Arkham games and Batman Beyond. It will also give you access to the Mayhem Collection DLC, which will also be released on September 18th. In addition to more cosmetics, the pack will add Joker and Harley Quinn as playable characters, as well as a new story mission. Those who pre-order ...

If you've ever wanted to fight a games industry CEO, now you can. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick is now a playable character in WWE 2K26 , meaning you can either play as him or fight him yourself. There hasn't been any kind of official acknowledgement of his inclusion; he was simply quietly added in a new update today. The 68-year-old gaming executive holds an in-game rating of 77, meaning he's probably not going to claim any titles himself, but Zelnick is reportedly very fit in real life. The CEO claims he works out 10 to 12 times a week (that's an average of almost twice a day, for those who aren't mathmaticians) and runs his own private workout club known as The Program. He's even written his own wellness book, Becoming Ageless: The Four Secrets To Looking and Feeling Younger Than Ever. All of this is to say he's pretty jacked, even though he's almost 70, and could probably fare better in a WWE ring than the average person. Why did Zelnick g...

Control Resonant will have a two-day PS5-exclusive early access, leading to frustration from some fans. Yesterday, Remedy Entertainment announced that Control Resonant, the sequel to one of the studio's most beloved games, will release on September 24 . This should've been a moment of celebration, but unfortunately, it has since been overshadowed with news that Control Resonant will get 48-hours of early access through the game's digital deluxe edition, but this is only applicable to PS5. There will be no early access on Xbox or PC, as it appears the 48-hours of early access is tied to PlayStation's marketing agreement for the game. Some fans have stated that they won't be pre-ordering the game or will wait to buy it when it's on sale, as they don't want to support these kinds of practices. "Great, now I know what September game to skip until holiday sales," said one fan in response to the news . "Platform-exclusive content is one thing,...
