Peak developer Aggro Crab has just released patch 1.53.a, which adds a number of new features and bug fixes to the game. The most exciting addition is that you can now kick other players from the game. This is a long-awaited option, as it will allow hosts to kick people with connection issues, rather than forcing them to restart the whole session.According to the Peak patch notes, while Peak players are still not allowed to kick our fellow scouts in-game, and you should feel ashamed for even thinking that, we can now kick them out of the game if there…
Arc Raiders has a new Headwinds game update that, amongst many other things, removes an extravagantly drawn-out puzzle from the game’s Buried City map. Introduced in December, the puzzle in question saw people tracking down and pushing 15 buttons in a certain order to unlock a secret chamber containing an actual, strummable guitar. As of this updating, you’ll now be able to buy that guitar at Shani’s, like a millionaire tourist paying to be flown to the top of Mount Everest. I regard this as a dilution of the game, on paper, but I am not one of the players…
A hardware modder has created their own handheld PlayStation 4, which they say is “stable, fully functional, and safe to use”.Reddit user Wewillmakeitnow shared images of their portable PS4 project, which they said consisted of “months of work, testing and redesign”.According to the modder, the handheld contains the motherboard of a PS4 Slim, which they cut and modified to make it as small as possible while still retaining all its functionality.“The goal was not only size reduction, but also better power efficiency and thermal behavior by optimizing the layout and removing unused section,” they explained.The handheld features a 7-inch OLED…
Ubisoft recently informed GamesRadar+ of its proposal for a voluntary layoff program, only a week after the developer canceled six games and pledged itself, again, to what it describes as “player-facing Generative AI.” That’s a week that feels like a lifetime, but Ubisoft would like to knock over one more thing on its way out the door. So it’s just increased subscription prices for Just Dance+.What, you don’t think adding a few extra dollars to the Just Dance+ subscription service – a three-year-old model for a 17-year-old franchise that even fans know is in decline – will save Ubisoft from…
Crusader Kings 3 developers Paradox have decided now’s the time for the medieval strategy game to take a leaf out of its predecessor’s book – as well as fellow strategians Hearts of Iron IV and Europa Universalis 4 – by getting its own DLC subscription service. Starting today, you’ll have the option to pay a monthly fee for access to all nine billion or so CK3 expansions and add-ons, if you don’t fancy paying to own them outright in the usual fashion.
Capcom has released a patch for the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds which it claims will fix a recently reported bug that was causing performance issues.Earlier this month, Reddit user de_Tylmarande posted a lengthy message on the Monster Hunter Reddit page suggesting that the game performs better on PC when all the DLC is installed.After performing some tests, they theorised that the game is constantly checking for the presence of DLC, and therefore the more DLC a player has installed, the better the game runs.Their findings were passed on to Capcom, and the company has now published a patch…
The Headwinds update is now live for Arc Raiders, filling the city with birds and giving players a new mode to play around in. The Seed Vault extract on Stella Montis has been sorted, and that damned puzzle for the guitar in Buried City has been switched off.Yes, you read that right. Most people familiar with the extraction shooter will be familiar, but for those who aren’t, Buried City contains a map-wide orienteering exercise you can complete to get some nice guitars. It involves pressing 15 buttons across the whole location in a particular order.It’s frustrating to do, since you’re…
The Arc Raiders Headwinds update is upon us, which means – on top of additions like the Bird City map modifier – players are already picking apart a fresh array of balance changes. In particular, valuable Queen and Matriarch reactors are about to be harder to come by, and the idea that gun cases are going to be slightly less useless from here on hasn’t really taken the sting out.Here’s how the patch notes put it: “Slightly lowered the chances of finding Matriarch and Queen unique parts in their armor pieces to make it a bit harder to get them…
Steam tells me I’ve put 250 hours into Arc Raiders since its October 30 launch, which is 250 more hours than I ever thought I would invest in an extraction shooter. Embark Studios’ streamlined, retrofuturistic, and PvE-heavy approach to the formula defined by the likes of Escape from Tarkov has expanded the extraction space and grabbed over 12 million people. It has also exceeded Embark’s expectations in every way possible, from meteoric sales to surprising player behavior.Earlier this month, I sat down with design lead Virgil Watkins for a long chat about Arc Raiders’ launch and Embark’s future plans. We’re…
