Getting something for free always feels great, especially where your privacy is concerned. VPNs can be a little expensive, too, so it makes sense that a lot of people don’t want to have to pay for an extra subscription. The problem is that, if you’re not careful, you might end up with a “free” service where you pay with your data, which is pretty much the opposite of what you want from a VPN. Hence the paid vs free VPN debate rages on. Privacy, security, performance, server locations, compatibility, and customer support options also differ hugely between paid and free…

Hytale currently hints at endgame gear that you need to craft via mithril, but there’s no way to actually get the ore in-game – aside from cheating and popping into creative mode. The devs at Hypixel apparently have some big plans for endgame mining, including mithril, and it’ll be a bit more involved than the current process for mining ore.”We got some fun ideas about Mithril,” Hypixel boss Simon Collins-Laflamme says on Twitter. He adds, “Let’s say it wont be as simple to mine as the others!” Our friends at PC Gamer spotted this tweet, and in response to their…
This is probably the umpteenth time I’ve said I’m not someone who plays many shooters, but here I am saying it again, because an FPS has rocked up that has clocked my interest. It’s called Firestarters, an arena shooter that’s a bit like Quake, a bit like Rollerdome, and looks like good, bloody fun. To start with, the setting. Set some time in the future, everyone’s favourite livestreamed event is known as STEEL, a “gladiator bloodsport owned and operated by the nation’s most notorious crime syndicate.” You play as former street delinquent Kera who has to fight for…
We’ve never really seen an actual World of Warcraft killer. We’ve seen rival MMOs come and go, with the likes of Final Fantasy 14, Old School Runescape, and Guild Wars 2 pushing their way to the front of the chasing pack, but never quite managing to topple Blizzard’s age-old goliath. But, in 2025 alone we saw various new WoW-inspired alternatives appear. Fellowship is perhaps the most prominent, followed by Eldegarde, previously known as Legacy: Steel and Sorcery. Notorious Studios’ extraction-based MMO had a lot of promise, but struggled to stick the early access landing. But that was over a year…

Given its lengthy, troubled development period, it will probably not come as any surprise to you that Ubisoft have announced today that their Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake has been cancelled. This comes as part of a broader restructure at the company, which will apparently focus on what they call five “specialised creative houses” to “reclaim creative leadership and restore sustainable growth.” Alongside the Prince of Persia remake, Ubisoft have also cancelled development on five other games, three of them apparently being completely new, and one being a mobile title. Seven other games they have…
Battlefield 6 hit a small bump in the road as it approached Season 2, and in a move that surprised a fair few of us, decided to delay the release of its sophomore content drop. The team cited “community feedback” as the reason and not much more, with a disconcertingly vague post about needing to “polish and refine” what they already had. It wasn’t a huge disaster, as the extension of Season 1 of the FPS game brought with it extra time for players to complete the Battle Pass, and a new bonus track to keep everyone busy while the…
