The privacy-conscious among us have always been wary of Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The extent to which it creates profiles on its users so that it can deliver effective ads to them is rather unsettling – and that’s without even touching on the political controversies. Unfortunately, Meta is about to make a change that will further reduce its users’ privacy, so you might want to get a VPN (or, just, you know, uninstall its apps). On May 8, Instagram will cease to offer end-to-end encryption for its direct messages. That means that it will see everything…

Let me get something out of the way first: the new Legio Custodes for Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40K look fantastic. Actually, no. That’s not a strong enough description. If anything, they’re head and shoulders above what we had before… both literally and metaphorically. But bloody hellfire, they’re a pain to make.Designed as part of Games Workshop’s prequel system, The Horus Heresy (which takes place 10,000 years before Warhammer 40K and charts a devastating human civil war), the Legio Custodes Battle Group is a force to be reckoned with. Even though there are “only” 13 warriors alongside a tank and…

Palworld has honestly lived, and thrived, a lot longer than I honestly expected to. I guess the people really do want Pokemon with guns! As since its launch two years ago (ignore the coffee I’ve spat over my screen at that passage of time), there have been announcements for spin-offs in the form of Stardew Valley if it were Pokemon but actually it’s Palworld, a dating sim that started as a joke but will now be real, and more recently, a card game. Despite all of that expansion, however, developer Pocketpair say they have “no desire to be a…

Minecraft Dungeons 2 is real, and it’s coming this year. I didn’t need anything more to put a smile on my face after the Minecraft Live showcase, which already unveiled the adorable new Sulfur Cube mob that can be used to play all manner of creative minigames. But lead designer Jens Bergensten had other ideas, with a reveal he teased as “something we’ve been working on for quite some time.” That project is Minecraft Dungeons 2, a sequel to the 2020 dungeon-crawling action RPG, which I still hold up as by far the strongest Minecraft spin-off game, and a worthy…

Given the noise that has existed around Starfield since it launched on PC and Xbox Series X in 2023, it can be all too easy to gravitate towards the divisive reaction it stirred and overlook the players who have been quietly exploring the Settled Systems all along. “You know, I think we’re still in the top 10 hours played on Game Pass,” says Tim Lamb, lead creative producer.It’s no secret that Bethesda Game Studios RPGs attract massive audiences – there’s a reason why 2011’s Skyrim continues to be ported to every platform under the sun, and why Fallout 4 has…

Slay the Spire 2 is, quite notably, a game in early access. This means many things, but most importantly it means that any changes that are made aren’t necessarily final, they’re just more tests to see what does and doesn’t work. The roguelike deckbuilder’s first proper update went live yesterday, adding in a phobia mode with some bespoke assets and making a whole bunch of tweaks. It’s that second part that has riled up the feathers of some spire slayers (just have a brief trawl of recent reviews), prompting developer Mega Crit to take a moment to explain just how…

If you want new Be a Lucky Block codes, we’re not going to ask why. You must have your reasons to want to become a Lucky Block, and we’re not going to pry. What we will do, though, is keep a close eye on any new codes that drop. That way, you’ll always find new things to redeem to make you the luckiest block there is. Be a Lucky Block is a smart reversal of games like Steal a Brainrot. You’re the NPC this time around. Step on the conveyor belt, and one lucky Noob will cart you back to…

It’s no secret that Baldur’s Gate 3 companions Lae’zel and Shadowheart have a bit of a, um, strained relationship straight off the bat, but they do admittedly share a lot of similarities – and Larian Studios writers used these while creating their scripts.Speaking in a recent edition of Edge magazine, writer Kevin VanOrd and John Corcoran recall as much. “Sometimes I yearn for linear storytelling,” VanOrd admits first – the Baldur’s Gate 3 world is so big, after all, so it’s not surprising to hear that it pulled writers off their path as much as it does players. While attempting…

Cosmo D’s heady jazz noir RPG Moves Of The Diamond Hand will launch into Steam Early Access on April 13th, the day after I return from holiday. You don’t need to hear about my holiday plans, which involve scree slopes and deterioriating knee cartilage. You do need to hear about Moves of the Diamond Hand. It’s the grander follow-up to Betrayal At Club Low, which Alice O (RPS in peace) called “a delicious snack-sized espionage RPG”. The early access launch will feature the first two chapters of the full game. They apparently “surpass the size and scope of all Cosmo…

March 21, 2026: There’s still time to redeem the new Catch and Tame codes. New Catch and Tame codes can help you unlock the kinds of big lasso upgrades you’ll need to rope in some of the game’s bigger and badder animals. If you’re looking to complete the collection, keeping up with the code list below could be the fastest way to manage just that. Catch and Tame is exactly what it sounds like: a Roblox game in which you catch and tame. What, exactly? Wild animals. Friendly dogs, fluffy cats, handsome horses, and even some increasingly elaborate beasts. Remember to…
