Grab spins and diamonds without subjecting yourself to the fight pits with these new Elemental Magic Arena codes. This gam is a little like Slap Battles, a staple of the Roblox platform, but with magical powers. You choose an element from the lengthy walkway of a lobby, then jump into the open battlefield to pit those powers against the entire server. Calling it a level playing field would be a stretch, but it’s pretty close. Here are the latest Elemental Magic Arena codes: 80KLIKES – three rerolls 50MVISITS – 50 Diamonds If you need a little break after a few…
Final Fantasy 14 players clear one of the hardest fights in the MMO with only casters and healers: "Tank LB3 is a suggestion, not a requirement"
One of the most difficult fights in Final Fantasy 14, an Ultimate raid from Shadowbringers, has just met its match in a static comprised entirely of casters and healers.If you’ve ever done The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate) yourself, then you probably know how challenging it can be. I still have nightmares about the wormhole phase to this day, and it’s been literal years since my group took on the revamped Heavensward bosses. That raid – the one that took me a whopping three months or so to finally clear – is apparently easier to some of than others, though… A…
Is Microsoft's $69 billion Activision Blizzard deal paying off? Xbox boss Asha Sharma says it's "hard to say how to think about those decisions"
Just under 1000 days ago, or about two and a half years ago if you measure time like a normal person, Microsoft completed their acquisition of Activision Blizzard following a lengthy legal process. It cost $68.7 billion and meant Xbox’s parent company now lorded over the likes of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch. Not a small thing for the corporate behemoth to have done, then. Looking back in 2026, was it a shrewd move? Well, amid some bigging up of the series I just mentioned, current Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has said it’s “hard to say how…
A new Dota 2 update buffs Nature's Prophet and Arc Warden, but everyone's talking about a mysterious Axe 'change'
Fresh Dota 2 patch notes have just dropped, and that means the meta will start to creak and shift under the weight of Valve’s latest balance adjustments. There are some welcome changes in Dota 2 update 7.41d, along with a few that I’m sure people will question, and even a nice quality-of-life buff. The line that’s got people talking, however, is a mysterious footnote for Axe that doesn’t appear to have any current meaning. Is it a clue hinting at the next addition to the MOBA? My heart tells me yes. Before we get into the actual winners and losers…

New Xbox CEO says successful platforms "must have exclusive content" and is "looking at that very closely" as Halo and Fable prepare to jump to PS5
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma once again says the company is rethinking its approach to exclusivity, but what that actually means for games like Halo and Forza Horizon 6 remains unclear.Asked about the console maker and publisher’s exclusivity plans during a Bloomberg Tech panel (below), Sharma calls it a “tough topic” since the company is stuck between wanting its games to reach as many people as possible and giving people a reason to buy into its platform.”Look, we’re the number two publisher in the world, and in order to be a great publisher, you must have your games reach large audiences…
Valorant players claim they're being DDoS'd mid-game, as patch 12.10 descends into bug fiesta
Valorant Patch 12.10 has been anything but a smooth ride. Between the return of Cypher’s Spycam gun bug and fake Breeze boxes, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this many major bugs in Riot Games’ shooter. However, the update’s biggest issue may be more sinister in scope, as players are running into unscrupulous opponents who, judging from the footage shared, appear to be utilizing some form of networking exploit to gain an advantage. As reported by ‘Haydn’ on X, we can see multiple clips where, shortly after the opposing Gekko dies, their team begins to experience severe rubber-banding. The…

Slay the Spire 2 patch adds a crowd-pleasing buff as fans say one card just became "busted," while Mega Crit rolls out bug fixes galore
The latest Slay the Spire 2 patch is a bad one if you’ve been lying about how much you’ve been playing the roguelike. Besides that, there’s a blend of nerfs, buffs and fixes to prepare some internal changes within the game.To start, Vakuu’s been changed a little, per the patch notes. Before, when the Ancient would quote how many times you’ve visited them, it’d be a random number. Now, it’s accurate, leaving no question about the amount of times you’ve randomly landed on him through the deckbuilding gauntlet. For many of us, this won’t change anything, but if you’ve been…
