Marvel Rivals is giving players more ways to customize their favorite heroes and villains, with developer NetEase announcing costume customization will be added on April 17 at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

The new feature will add additional color palettes for costumes that players can presumably purchase from the in-game cosmetic store. NetEase's announcement post shows color options with names like "Phantom Purple," Winter's Wrath," and "Rosy Resilience," among others.

A look at some of the color customization options coming to Marvel Rivals.

It's currently unclear how much these color palettes will cost, which currency they can be bought with, if they are universal across all costumes, or if they only work with certain ones. NetEase hasn't provided more details, only that players can "head to the store, grab your unlock, and dive into the look that fits your vibe."

Microsoft has announced the details of Xbox's upcoming April update, and it's a big one, with new features planned across console, streaming, Game Pass, and the mobile app. Here's a rundown of everything you can expect.

Xbox App Updates

Starting with the Xbox app for mobile, the April update introduces the ability to buy games and DLC, as well as join Game Pass and redeem perks. Players can even set a purchased game to pre-install on their Xbox console from wherever they are. The aim here, it seems, is to help people buy games faster and more easily, as Microsoft said it will require just two clicks to buy games and DLC from the app.

This update is rolling out soon across iOS and Android.

The last couple of years have seen several well-received Godzilla movies released, and parent company Toho is looking to grow that success beyond the silver screen. The Japanese studio has announced that it will invest $830 million in new games, anime, and other projects based on its IP, including Godzilla console games.

Toho plans to spend $490 million on content development alone, which will focus on a broad range of media as it pivots toward growing its brand overseas (via Bloomberg). In addition to an undefined number of Godzilla console games, the studio will also focus on animation, theme park attractions, and mobile games as part of its brand expansion strategy.

While Godzilla appeared in numerous video games over the decades, the last couple of years have seen the kaiju king relegated to crossovers and cameos. Games like Fall Guys have offered Godzilla cosmetics to players, while Call of Duty: Warzone featured Godzilla as an environmental hazard and enemy as part of its Operation Monarch event.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven for Nintendo Switch

$30 (was $50)

Fans of Japanese role-playing games who haven't picked up the Romancing SaGa 2 remake should check out the current deal at Amazon and Best Buy before it's gone. Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is up for grabs for $30 (was $50) for PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Amazon estimates the PS5 version won't be delivered for one to two months, so you'll probably want to go with Best Buy if purchasing for PlayStation.

The impressive remake of the Super Famicom JRPG released last October. In a year filled with great JRPGs, Romancing SaGa 2 flew a bit under the radar, but Square Enix's lovingly crafted turn-based RPG is a unique experience is well-worth your time.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven for PS5 $30 (was $50)

Romancing SaGa 2 is a ground-up remake of the 1993 Super Famicom classic. An HD port of the original was also released in 2017, but this new remake updates the experience to full 3D graphics and overhauls the turn-based battle system to match the new "timeline" system featured in recent titles like SaGa Emerald Beyond. There are also a few quality of life updates to make the game more approachable for new players, including multiple difficulty options.

The remake doesn't look as nice on Nintendo Switch when compared to the PS5 edition, but you do get the added convenience of portability. It's not the only way to play it on a portable device, though. Romancing SaGa 2 is also Steam Deck-verified. You can save 15% on a Steam key with promo code APR15 at Green Man Gaming.

Romancing SaGa 2 sees players take the role of various members of a royal family as they fight to maintain their empire, and stave off world-ending threats. There's also an entire castle building mechanics where you construct and manage fortresses around your kingdom. Like other games in the series, where you go, who you talk to, and which side quests you complete can have drastic changes on how the story unfolds. It's a surprisingly open-ended experience, even by modern standards, and this new remake is the perfect opportunity to give it a go, or revisit it and try for an entirely different story path.

SaGa fans can also preorder the upcoming physical edition of Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered International for PS5 and Nintendo Switch. This superb remaster originally released in 2022 on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile.

It originally held an "Early 2025" release date, but Square Enix hasn't revealed an official launch date yet.

Bethesda is putting up the original server blades for The Elder Scrolls Online for sale on its website to celebrate the game's 10-year anniversary, and they're only available in limited quantities.

Over at the Bethesda Gear store, only 2,000 of these blades are available and are priced at $110 each. They're actual physical sticks of RAM taken from the game's original servers and they come with both a Certification of Authenticity and a holographic sticker with sequential numbers.

Each individual server blade is housed in a wood frame with an antique gold plating which says, "When The Elder Scrolls Online launched in 2014, an amazing community was born. This limited edition keepsake, sourced from one of the original ESO server blades, recognizes our vibrant community and countless experiences from a decade of adventure."

Discord is experimenting with a new age-verification policy that would require users to prove their age to see material Discord considers harmful. The verification process is currently undergoing trial in the United Kingdom and Australia, though Discord didn't say how long the test period will last or when--or if--it will roll out in other countries.

The age verification process applies to all devices, including Discord on Xbox and PlayStation 5.

When a user tries to interact with material that Discord flags with its sensitive media filter, such as potentially explicit images, or tries to change their sensitive media filter settings, a pop-up appears that tells them to verify their age before they can continue. Discord provides two ways to verify: a face scan using your device's camera or using a mobile device to scan an ID card, such as a driver's license. The process reportedly takes just a few minutes, and you receive a direct message from Discord once it's finished that tells you which age group you're in.

Fortnite has been advertising heavily during WWE events this year despite the fact that there hasn't been any real WWE presence in the game in a while, leading pretty much everyone to assume a new collab was on the way. And it turns out that assumption was right, as reputable leakers are reporting that Cody Rhodes and The Undertaker will be the next wrestlers to be immortalized as Fortnite skins.

This isn't one of those not-so-credible "I'm hearing this is might happen sometime in the next few years" leaks like last week's Jack Black and Kingdom Come: Deliverance rumors. No, this leak comes with a release date (Friday) and prices (2800 V-Bucks for the full bundle), and was reported by multiple different sources simultaneously--it's quite credible.

In addition to the Cody Rhodes and Undertaker outfits, the set will include the Undertaker's urn and the American Nightmare mantle back blings, along with the Cody's Cutlass and Taker's Shovel pickaxes, an American Nightmare wrap, and emotes for both Cody Rhodes and Undertaker. The whole set will be included in a bundle for 2800 V-Bucks, and every item can be purchased separately if you only want a specific item or two. We don't have images for any of this yet--these items will be decrypted on Thursday afternoon.

Nvidia has been rolling out its RTX 50-Series graphics cards over the past few months, and today marks the arrival of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. Available in 8GB ($379) and 16GB ($429) formats, early reviews are calling it a solid addition to the Nvidia catalog and worth considering if you’re seeking a versatile mid-range card. Unsurprisingly, the new RTX 5060 Ti is a hot commodity, with retailers already selling out, though new stock is likely to return soon. To help track availability, we’ve put together a short list of major retailers most likely to have the RTX 5060 Ti in stock. Even if the GPU is sold out, be sure to keep checking the links below periodically to see if it's back in stock.

Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti Restock Tracker

• Check stock at Best Buy
• Check stock at Amazon
• Check stock at Walmart
• Check stock at Newegg
• Check stock at Antonline

Like other RTX 50-Series GPUS, the RTX 5060 lineup features Nvidia's new Blackwell architecture, offering DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, Nvidia Reflex 2 for added responsiveness, and full ray tracing with neural rendering. The end result is faster performance than its predecessor and the ability to upscale lower resolutions to 1440p and 4K resolutions. According to Nvidia, the RTX 5060 Ti offers double the performance of the old RTX 4060 Ti when DLSS 4 is enabled (it's worth noting that the RTX 5060 Ti's performance uplift over the 4060 Ti without DLSS 4 is closer to about 15% faster). You’ll find the GPUs to be much slimmer than the RTX 4060 lineup, too, thanks to AI technology that allows the hardware to hit better benchmarks without requiring the same raw horsepower.

A variety of 5060 Ti models (including overclocked variants) are available from third parties. Here’s a look at some of the top models offered at Best Buy.

Bungie has revealed the closed alpha test requirements and PC specs for Marathon, its upcoming shooter game. The test will be conducted across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in North America from April 23 to May 4.

In order to qualify for the alpha test, players will need to join the official Marathon Discord channel and Bungie will invite selected participants. The lucky winners need to be located in North America, be 18 years old or older, have access to a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC, and have a Bungie.net account in good standing.

The alpha test requires all players to have a Bungie.net account, and presumably the full release will, as well. A PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live account is not required to play the alpha test, but will be once Marathon officially launches. Friend invites are not supported during the alpha, although friends will be able to group up with each other if they were selected participants.

After earning stellar reviews from both critics and viewers in 2024, Fallout: Season 1 is leaving the Vault and coming to Blu-ray later this year.

Last year, Bloober Team's remake of Silent Hill 2 recaptured the spirit of the classic survival-horror game. This year, Bloober Team is following that title with Cronos: The New Dawn, an original sci-fi/horror game. Now, Bloober Team has offered fans an advance look at Cronos' gameplay, which may remind some players of Dead Space.

Cronos puts players in the role of a Traveler who has gone back in time to extract human survivors from the aftermath of an apocalypse. In this timeline, the end of the world happened in the 1980s, and mankind's survival depends on the Traveler's ability to rescue key individuals from the past.

Unlike Silent Hill 2's James Sunderland, the Traveler is very well-armed. However, the monstrous creatures known as Orphans are also more formidable. Their bodies are made of human flesh, and the trailer warns players not to let the Orphans merge. When that inevitably happens, even the Traveler's arsenal may not be enough to put the merged creatures down.

In 2022, Rockstar Games introduced GTA+, a subscription service that provides a variety of perks and bonuses in GTA Online. With GTA 5 Enhanced bringing GTA+ to PC for the first time recently and GTA 6's release coming up this year, we're running through everything you need to know about GTA +. Do you really need to sign up for yet another subscription service? Only you can answer that, but below you'll find a breakdown of the key facts about GTA+ to help you decide.

What Is GTA+?

GTA+ is a subscription service for GTA Online that originally debuted in March 2022 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The subscription offering came to PC for the first time with GTA 5 Enhanced's launch in March 2025. With GTA 5 Enhanced now available for PC Game Pass, you can subscribe to GTA+ from within Game Pass. That's right: a subscription within a subscription.

Free Games And Other Perks

To begin with, every GTA+ subscriber gets 500,000 worth of GTA$ deposited automatically into their in-game accounts monthly based on their billing date. Members also get a 15% bonus in GTA$ for Shark Card purchases, while they also earn GTA$ multipliers for certain GTA Online missions and modes. Subscribers also get discounts on in-game items, with discounted wares varying month by month.

Ninja Gaiden has been on a long hiatus, and for fans of the classic 2D games on the NES, it's been even longer. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a classic throwback from publisher Dotemu (Streets of Rage 4, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge) and developer The Game Kitchen (Blasphemous series). But while Ragebound shows their respect for retro craftsmanship, it feels more like an evolution of the 8-bit originals than a broad reinvention. This is still an action-platformer at heart, serving as a respectful homage to Ninja Gaiden classics that picks up right where those left off.

During an extended hands-on with Ragebound I was able to try a lengthy chunk from the early hours of the game: a playable story sequence, tutorial, and then a few stages full of tense combat and new mechanics that fit right into the classic feel of Ninja Gaiden.

In Ragebound, you play primarily as Kenji Mozu, a protege of series protagonist Ryu Hayabusa who is left to defend their village when Ryu journeys to America. When a barrier between the human and demon realms tears apart, the village is beset by demons and Kenji steps up to be the new protector of the realm. But in the course of the story, the demo also introduced a secondary protagonist: the Black Spider ninja Kumori. The Black Spider Clan was a major antagonist in the later Team Ninja games, so in a way, this is bridging the gap between the two eras of the series.

While everyone waits for the leaked The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered to officially get announced, Bethesda apparently has another storied RPG getting a similar treatment in the works: Fallout 3. A new report states the post-apocalyptic game is happening but won't arrive anytime soon.

Industry insider NateTheHate2, who previously nailed aspects of the Switch 2 reveal, replied to a question on X about whether Fallout 3 Remastered was "still happening." The answer was that it's "planned but won't be for a while." There was no other info provided, such as what developer might be tackling the reported project. Fallout 3 originally came out in 2008 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Industry insider NateTheHate2 responds to a question about a possible Fallout 3 Remastered.

Meanwhile, Bethesda Game Studios plans to make Fallout 5, though Todd Howard won't put "dates on anything." That's probably because the wait for more info on The Elder Scrolls VI has taken so long. Instead, for that fantasy-RPG franchise, players can look forward to the impending release of Oblivion Remastered, which has been heavily rumored and then appeared on the Virtuos website earlier this week. It's believed the game will launch next week, though no official confirmation has occurred yet.

CD Projekt Red has warned Witcher fans that scammers are trying to take advantage of their enthusiasm for the franchise by sending scam emails inviting them to a Witcher 4 beta that does not exist. "This is a scam!" the developer said.

In a post on social media from the game's official account, the studio said it's taken steps to "take this fraudulent messaging down," but in case you still receive an email, be warned--it's a scam.

"If you receive any invites to or stumble upon news of one, we kindly ask you to report the scam using the tools available to you in your email client or the social media platform you are using," the developer said. "Remember: Professional monster slayers don't fall for scams; they see right through them and slay them!"

Niantic laid off 68 employees after the sale of its games business to the Saudi investment company, Scopely, last month. While the layoffs were already announced, the specific number of employees has now been revealed.

As spotted by Game Developer, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) report published in California shows that at least 68 people will be losing their jobs at Niantic. The layoffs were processed on March 20 and will be carried out on May 20.

Last month, Niantic CEO John Hanke announced that the company would split into two separate companies--one now owned by Scopely and the other, Niantic Spatial, which is focusing on delivering "the promise of geospatial AI." Niantic has confirmed to Game Developer that Hanke's announcement was related to the WARN report, but had nothing else to say about the matter.

Ubisoft has released a new update for Assassin's Creed Shadows, and according to the patch notes, this one is designed to address several more issues in the game. Title update 1.0.3 will go live today, and while it's not nearly as massive as the previous patch, you can expect bug fixes and PS5 Pro improvements. Curiously, the patch will also temporarily deactivate the auto-sell feature in the game, as Ubisoft says that it has to work out some unexpected issues introduced by that function.

For PS5 Pro players, a graphical issue caused by activating the HDR and PSSR options will be fixed, and PS5 owners in general can expect several other crash-related bugs to be solved. For download sizes, the patch is quite small on PS5 and PC via Steam, while Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Mac users can expect a longer download session. You can see the full patch notes below.

In related news, Assassin's Creed Shadows is currently the second-best-selling game in the US for 2025, trailing behind Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds, which is still the best-selling game of 2025 so far. Ubisoft is also considering adding an even higher level of difficulty to the game in a future update.
