Red Dead Redemption 2 launched with a handy mobile companion app that let players use a tablet or phone as a second screen for the game, providing easy access to the map and other HUD features. The app has now been quietly delisted from Google Play and the iOS App Store, meaning only players who already downloaded the app will be able to access it.

The app included access to the game map, including the ability to mark waypoints and points of interest, and also displayed info such as health and ammo on the app, meaning you could remove the HUD from the actual game screen. The app also included a game manual, and offered the official game guide as an optional purchase.

The app was delisted from both the App Store and the Google Play store on August 19, something that has only just been picked up now thanks to two listings on the Rockstar support site, as picked up by Game Rant.

The high cost of a PS5 is putting some pressure on Monster Hunter Wilds sales, Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto says, with the strong first-month sales apparently in spite of this barrier to entry.

Nikkei Gaming interviewed the Capcom president in May this year, but only just published it, so his comments are mainly in the context of Wilds' first month sales--which topped 10 million units in an unprecedented success for Capcom. Despite the game's strong first month Tsujimoto said that the high price of Monster Hunter Wilds' "main platform," the PS5, was an "unexpectedly large" barrier to achieving this target.

The exec also pointed to the success of the Switch 2 and its moderate price to emphasize his point--though didn't say anything about the potential for a Switch 2 port for Wilds.

Dolby has announced Dolby Vision 2, an upgrade to its proprietary HDR standard that is going beyond just HDR. The new standard implements AI tech, which Dolby says will intelligently adapt to the content you're watching to provide the best viewing experience.

Dolby Vision 2 boasts a more powerful image engine, which Dolby says will improve your viewing experience even for the existing library of Dolby Vision-supported content. The major difference for the new version of Dolby Vision is Content Intelligence, an AI-powered technology that claims to intelligently adapt your display based on "what you're watching and where you are watching."

These features include ambient-light detection and specific adjustments targeting the "unique needs" of live sports and gaming. The intelligent features also include a "Precision Black" feature that appears to be targeting viewer complaints that a lot of premium TV is too dark--saying Dolby Vision 2 can improve clarity of dark scenes "in any viewing environment without compromising artistic intent."

PlayStation Link, the proprietary wireless connectivity tech that powers Sony's duo of PS5 headsets, is finally getting a PC driver--almost two years after it launched. The driver is set to roll out between now and October 2, and will allow users to adjust settings and update their devices on PC without having to connect to a PS5.

The new PS Link driver will add a quick menu that's accessible from the system tray or by pressing the PS Link button three times on the device itself. The menu allows users to adjust audio settings for the Pulse Elite or Pulse Explore, and it shows the battery level and notifies users if a new firmware update is available.

Take full control of your audio experience on PC with Pulse Elite and Explore.
Introducing a PlayStation Link PC Driver for Windows, rolling out gradually starting today. For more details on the driver, visit: https://t.co/08WToD1rnq pic.twitter.com/n22aTyhcdD

— PlayStation (@PlayStation) September 2, 2025

With the driver installed, users can also update firmware for either audio device or for the PS Link dongle directly from the PC. The Elite and Explore will need to be directly connected to the PC via USB cable in order to update firmware.

Lego Ideas: Gremlins Gizmo (1,125 pieces)

$110 | Releases October 1

See at Lego Store See at Target

October 1 is shaping up to be a great day for Lego enthusiasts with nostalgia for the 1980s. In addition to Lego's replica Game Boy, fans of the 1984 horror-comedy Gremlins will be able to build their own Gizmo. The 1,125-piece set is part of the Lego Ideas line, and we sure are happy this fan-submitted concept was turned into a real building set by Lego's designers. Gizmo looks absolutely adorable as a 8-inch Lego figure, and fans can preorder it now for $110 at Target and the Lego Store.

Lego Ideas: Gremlins Gizmo (1,125 pieces) $110 | Releases October 1

Once fully assembled, Gremlin the Mogwai measures 8 x 10.5 x 3.5 inches. To be clear, the 10.5-inch width measurement is due to Gizmo's large ears. This is a fully posable figure that can be displayed in standing and sitting positions. Gizmo's arms, hands, and even his little fingers are articulated. You can also rotate his head and adjust his ears.

The facial features are quite impressive. It looks like Lego did an excellent job capturing the charm of the little critter. You'll also build a pair of 3D glasses with red and blue frames, so make sure you have a stack of comic books ready for him. A "water splash" Lego element can be attached to Gizmo's back, but sorry, in order to replicate this Mogwai, you'd need to buy multiple Gizmo Lego sets.

The best thing about this set? You won't have to worry about getting it wet or letting it eat after midnight.

This Lego Gremlins was first unveiled over a year ago, as part of the If We Could Turn Back Time competition. The original Gizmo submission was entered by Terauma, and it was the overall winner. Interestingly, this isn't the first time Lego has entered the world of Gremlins, as Gizmo was available in minifigure form alongside Stripe as part of a Lego Dimensions toys-to-life add-on pack.

When it comes to preserving long forgotten or unavailable shooters, Nightdive Studios is leading the charge. While older games often struggle to be preserved properly due to a myriad of issues--licensing disputes, asset loss, tech limitations and simply being forgotten chief among them--studios like Nightdive have made a concentrated effort to prove that no game is beyond preservation. In the past few years, Nightdive has restored and released new versions of System Shock 2, Star Wars: Dark Forces, and Turok, bringing the beloved classics to modern audiences. Yet even more impressive is the studio's commitment to including a wealth of accessibility options, making these titles more playable and accessible than ever before.

Nightdive's most recent re-releases, Heretic and Hexen, are prime examples of this. Released in 1994 and developed by Raven Software, Heretic was one of many “Doom Clones” from that era. Instead of a space marine taking down the hordes of Hell, players took on the role of a spellcaster named Corvus who navigates a dark fantasy world brought to ruin by the Serpent Riders. Heretic is notable for being far more interactive in its environments compared to Doom and even allowed players to look up and down: a rarity for shooters at the time. A year later, Raven Software released Hexen: Beyond Heretic, a distant sequel to Heretic that saw players pick one of three protagonists as they set out to defeat the second of the Serpent Riders. Like its predecessor, Hexen was notable for its distinct features, such as a darker fantasy setting and a central hub that connected all the game's levels.

While these games had their devoted followings, neither reached the popularity of games such as Doom and Quake and, as such, fell into obscurity. For a long time it felt as if these games would never get their proper due. That all changed, however, at this year's Quakecon, when Microsoft and Nightdive announced a remastered collection featuring both games--complete with numerous accessibility options and enhancements--was now available. According to Nightdive founder and CEO Stephen Kick, Heretic and Hexen's focus on accessibility is not a passive effect of remaking the games, but an intentional choice that reflects the studio's larger priorities.

The secret entrance in Peak is one of the game's biggest current mysteries. Introduced with the Mesa update in August, the secret entrance leads to the Tomb, a hidden area found deep underground of the namesake biome.

The catch is that the secret entrance is not only hard to find, but there's no guarantee that you'll see it every day, due to the daily map rotation. If you're wondering where to find the secret entrance in Peak and when it opens, we've got you covered.
