Nintendo has rolled out a new update for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch and Switch 2. The patch brings the open-world title up to version 1.9 on both platforms, with the focus on improving "the gameplay experience." Keep in mind that the nearly nine-year-old game won't be updated on Wii U, however.

On Switch 2, Breath of the Wild has received Thai text support, though the audio will be English. Meanwhile, the patch notes for Switch and Switch 2 stay vague about the adjustments to the game. This continues a trend dating back to when the title launched in 2017. For instance, for the version 1.1.2 update in April 2017, the company stated that "adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience."

Breath of the Wild went over six years without an update--from April 2019 to June 2025. The game got a paid Switch 2 Edition that was released alongside the new hybrid system, spurring the rekindled support of GameSpot's 2017 Game of the Year. It's one of the best Switch 2 games to play, too.

Despite getting a release date last year after years in development, Replaced is being pushed back once again just a few weeks before its launch.

Thankfully, this latest delay for the cyberpunk thriller is just a few short weeks, with a new date of April 14. The team at Sad Cat Studios says it is addressing player feedback provided by the game's recently released demo, as well as taking the extra time to polish things up before launch. In a message announcing the delay, Sad Cat Studios recognized that it's been a long time since Replaced was announced, but that the team wants to ensure the best possible experience on day one.

"While the game is technically finished, reaching the final stretch has shown us that we need just a few more weeks to ensure the experience is exactly what you deserve," the message reads. "We want the version of Replaced you play on day one to be polished, stable, and true to the vision we've shared with you."

Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai recently posted some snaps of his meal at one of Japan's Kirby Cafes, and it wasn't long before he pulled a knife on his favorite child. Things started innocently enough, with a few pictures of what looks like a delicious meal themed around the adorable pink blob:

And then things quickly got morbid, as Sakurai took a stab at some dark humor. Alas, poor Kirby, we knew him well, a fellow of infinite appetite and of most excellent fancy.

Before things turned dark, Sakurai's meal looked like a delicious tribute to his creation. An artistic piece of cuisine designed to fill a patron up--if they have the stomach to cut into it--it's one of several items on the menu, alongside soft pancakes, pizza, and milkshakes that all evoke sweet memories of Kirby and his world.

Looking for a specific star to complete a quest? Chances are that you could be fishing in the wrong place, as some spots exclusively house certain types of star systems. This Roblox game isn’t a massively complex one to play, but it does require a lot of grinding for cash, quests, and other equipment to maximize your catch.

However, even though fishing is relatively painless, particularly if you opt to craft rings from Mythic and higher rarity stars, you may find that there are a handful of them that require one of the two temporary-spawning locations: The Eye and Negative Galaxy. You’ll see prompts when these areas appear, and, as of right now, they’re the hot spots for the rarest stars. Incidentally, potions can give you a bit of a boost, and our list of Star Fishing codes can give you a few gems to help you get started.

Star Fishing star locations

Here are all the spawning points for every rarity in Star Fishing. The odds of fishing labels are slightly misleading, but what it essentially means is that if you had a base rod with normal luck, these combine to give you the odds of retrieving that star. The higher your luck stat and the better the rod, the more likely you’ll discover Rare or Epic stars more frequently.

During the recent State of Play, Bungie announced that its upcoming shooter Marathon will offer PlayStation users special weapon charms for taking part in the open beta. There will also be weapon charms for Xbox and PC players, Bungie has clarified.

"We'll have weapons charms for Steam and Xbox players as well, which we'll share more about in the future," the developer said.

This was actually confirmed back on February 12, but the news is making the rounds again after Marathon's social media account reiterated this.

Earlier this month, a duplication glitch in Arc Raiders left the door open for cheaters to run wild and duplicate almost any item in the game. Now that the glitch has been patched out, developer Embark Studios has explained why it didn't immediately act and what the consequences will be for the players who exploited the glitch.

On the official Arc Raiders page, Embark noted that it took the time to validate what was happening before acting "with fairness and accuracy." The developer also wanted to confirm the scope of the exploit, while also separating players who accidentally used it from the ones who intentionally abused the glitch.

"We want to act once, with intention, and with confidence that we're doing the right thing," wrote Embark. "This is the first time we've handled an incident of this nature at such scale in Arc Raiders. Rather than rushing, we chose to take the time needed to fully understand the situation and make sure our response was consistent with our values and expectations."

Ten years after it debuted, Dead by Daylight may be evolving beyond the video game realm. The live-action film recently took a major step forward, and now a new report indicates that Behaviour Interactive is planning to develop a Dead by Daylight anime.

According to Dread Central, Behaviour has partnered with Blumhouse and Atomic Monster for the potential Dead by Daylight animated series and the search is already underway for writers to work on it. Behaviour signed up with Blumhouse and Atomic Monster for the live-action film in 2023, and presumably the animated series will be an expansion of that relationship.

No story details have been shared about the Dead by Daylight anime, but it's likely to explore the core mythology behind The Entity, an otherworldly evil that demands sacrifices from various killers. The game casts players as four survivors who have to evade a killer before all four are sacrificed.

Need some extra gems in Star Fishing? There’s a good chance that you need that extra boost or a little more cash to afford the next tier of equipment. If so, you can type in the currently available codes to earn limited-time rewards. While cash is almost exclusively equipment or quest-related, the gems are the true treasure, as you can exchange them for either potions or tools to create perfect rings that greatly boost your stats.

After entering these Star Fishing codes, you’ll have enough gems and cash to get you started. However, to finish the various quests, you’ll likely need to learn which fishing spots have the Star Fishing star locations you require for that particular task. This Roblox game is constantly expanding, too, and with each update, a new code will appear that you can redeem for even more bonus cash and gems.

Getting enough cash and gems is needed to get better gear and fish in areas that have rarer stars.Active Star Fishing codes

Below are all of the active Star Fishing codes available for you to enter right this minute:

Resident Evil Requiem looks set to end the month on a high note, and if you're looking to dig into the new mainline chapter's gory lore, now might be a good time to log off. Reports are coming in that physical editions of the new survival-horror game have made their way into the hands of players ahead of its planned February 27 release date. If history has proven anything, it's only a matter of time before footage is uploaded to various channels.

"I can personally verify there is at least one person out there who bought Resident Evil Requiem from a store selling early," reliable Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem posted online. "If one person has been able to get it early, then some others will too, so officially, floodgates are open but it may take a couple days before anything starts leaking."

With Resident Evil celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and fan theories doing the rounds about how this instalment could have some big twists, now is probably a good time to start curating your social media feeds or take a sabbatical from them if you're looking to go into the game without it being spoiled for you.

During Sony's recent State of Play, the company made a series of big announcements, including the reveal of the next game from PUBG owner Krafton. Project Windless, as it's known for now, is an open-world action RPG in the works for PC and PS5 (and possibly other console platforms) that is inspired by the Korean novel series The Bird That Drinks Tears. Some call the books the "Korean Lord of the Rings."

The game made an immediate splash thanks to its impressive and eye-catching trailer and the fact that the game puts you into the claws and beak of a Rekon, a warrior humanoid bird. The game's reveal prompted a number of memes and jokes, including the inevitable Peter Griffin vs. Ernie the Giant Chicken references.

Here's everything we know so far about Project Windless, which we assume is not the game's final title. Keep checking back, as we'll update this post with more information as it's announced.

Since the tumultuous reveal of Highguard during 2025's The Game Awards, there's been a question as to where the funding for the game's studio, Wildlight Entertainment, came from. Multiple new reports point to Tencent being among the backers.

According to The Game Business and Game File, Chinese internet behemoth Tencent funded Wildlight, at least in part, by way of the company's TiMi division. Game File's report said Tencent was the "lead financial backer."

Wildlight described itself as a "fully-funded" studio on its website, but the team never explained what that meant or where its funding came from. On January 27, GameSpot asked the Highguard team if it could share any further information about funding sources, but the company never replied. In the wake of the reporting that Tencent funded Wildlight, a spokesperson for Wildlight told GameSpot on February 17 that it had no further information to share.

Despite releasing in early access just last month, Hytale is already on its third major update, bringing new content and features including animal taming, a new fire spread system, and more.

The biggest new feature arriving in Hytale is animal taming, a new system that will allow players to tame some of the game's "friendlier" creatures using their favorite foods. Tamed animals can be petted if you aren't holding anything, and can be fed periodically. Tame animals won't run from players, and some of them can also be milked, sheared, or mounted.

Hypixel has also added a major quality-of-life feature in the form of map markers, where players can place their own customizable markers on the map, and even share markers with friends in multiplayer. Hytale has also added its very first non-English language options, with Brazilian-Portuguese and Russian the first localization options added.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood was one sour batch of sauerkraut. Marinated in a noxious and ill-fitting live-service-adjacent brine, this troubled spin-off (and the mediocre virtual reality title it launched alongside) left a bad taste that has lingered for almost seven years. Developer MachineGames’ adventures with another famous Nazi-killer and increasingly longer AAA development cycles have meant Youngblood’s aftertaste has stuck around longer than it should have.

This drought is reportedly almost over, though, since reports forecast the streets will once again run red with Nazi blood sometime soon in a new Wolfenstein game, further backing up light teases from the MachineGames team itself. There’s a lot riding on Wolfenstein 3: a game that has to meet the moment in more ways than one--and can’t follow in Youngblood’s footsteps.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is the fourth entry in MachineGames’ alt-history Wolfenstein series and sets the franchise in the 1980s. But instead of controlling longtime series hero B.J. Blazkowicz in a single-player adventure, Youngblood puts players in the power armor of his twin daughters, Jess and Zofia, and, to its downfall, focuses more on co-op and RPG mechanics.
