Yet Another Live-Service Game Is Shutting Down Just Weeks After Launch
The live-service game graveyard has just gained another tenant, as the developers of The Cube, Save Us announced that the online extraction shooter will shut down next month, starting May 8. Describing the end of the game's service as "heartbreaking," developer XL Games added in a blog post that full refunds will be issued for all items purchased via Steam.
This news stings even more because The Cube, Save Us has only been out for a few weeks. XL Games did not explain why the game is shutting down, but it is likely due to low player numbers and poor reception. The Cube, Save Us launched on March 18 for PC and peaked at 5,177 players on its first day, and after that, the player count dropped quickly, averaging just a few hundred each day. Most reviews were negative, which likely hurt sales and kept potential players away.
Live-service games have had a tough time in recent years. Many big releases have failed to catch on and ended up shutting down. Concord and Highguard are two examples, and Hawked, a shooter similar to Fortnite, will also close its servers later this year. Some of these games shut down just weeks after launch, while others lasted a few months.

Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy has become an influential part of pop culture in the decades since it was first released, and it looks like it may have inspired one of the creepiest boss fights in Resident Evil Requiem. Whether it's an accidental homage or a deliberate nod to 2003's Return of the King, the similarities are uncanny, but no one at Capcom is talking… yet.
If you haven't played the game yet, consider this a spoiler warning--and if you're an arachnophobe, you'll want to click away as well.
You were warnedSpotted by Best Cine Moments on X, it looks like a few seconds of Resident Evil Requiem mirrors the scene where Frodo encounters the giant spider Shelob in Return of the King. Those few seconds are remade almost shot-for-shot in Resident Evil Requiem, mirroring the stealthy appearance of Shelob above Frodo with an eight-legged bioweapon that briefly stalks Leon S. Kennedy when he returns to Raccoon City.

James Cameron's Avatar series has seen two new entries in the last three years, starting with Avatar: Way of Water in 2022, and followed by Avatar: Fire and Ash late in 2025. While the third film in the franchise earned mixed reviews from critics, it still grossed around $1.5 billion at the box office, making it one of the most lucrative films of last year. Fans looking to relive the action at home can now preorder Avatar: Fire and Ash on 4K Blu-ray ahead of its May 19 arrival. It'll be available in multiple formats, including a premium 4K Blu-ray steelbook, a 3-Disc 4K Blu-ray set, 4-Disc Blu-ray Edition that includes a 3D Blu-ray version of the film, and as part of an Avatar 3-Movie Collection that'll drop a bit later on June 16. Here's a look at every version of Avatar: Fire and Ash and the Avatar 3-Movie Collection you can preorder.
Avatar: Fire and Ash Steelbook Edition (4K Blu-ray) $45 | Releases May 19This is the most premium version of Fire and Ash up for grabs. It gets you a gorgeous steelbook with artwork spanning the front and back covers, as well as graphics on the interior. You'll also get 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital copies of the film. Both Dolby Atmos and Vision are supported.
As a 3-disc set, it comes with over 3 hours of bonus features, including content like The Making of Avatar: Fire and Ash, a Jon Landau Tribute, and a Dream As One music video.
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Walmart Avatar: Fire and Ash 3-Disc Edition (4K Blu-ray) $50 | Releases May 19This is essentially the same as the above Steelbook Edition--minus the steelbook.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Walmart Avatar: Fire and Ash 4-Disc Edition (Blu-ray + 3D) $45 | Releases May 19Instead of 4K Blu-ray, this edition gets you a 3D Blu-ray version of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Along with 3D, there's also a standard Blu-ray and a digital copy of the film, plus the same bonus features as the UHD versions. Not that this release do not support Dolby Atmos or Vision; instead, they use Dolby Audio.

You'll once again get 3 hours of bonus features and support for Dolby Audio. But since the 3D version is just a few bucks more than the 4K Blu-ray, this might not be the best option if you're looking to stretch your dollar.

IO Interactive has announced that its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light, will not come to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other editions. The Switch 2 version has been delayed to an unspecified date this summer.
The game's other editions for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC remain on schedule to launch on May 27. The game was originally set to release in March, but was delayed to May for quality reasons.
IO did not share any details on why First Light for Switch 2 has been delayed. However, the company did say it is working to deliver the "best game experience possible across all platforms."

Late last month, a report emerged that Nintendo is developing a new Star Fox game for Switch 2. Now, game leaker NatetheHate is reporting that the official announcement may come as soon as this month.
On social media, NatetheHate stated that "Star Fox will be announced this month via Nintendo Today or Twitter." If that's accurate, it would allow Nintendo to capitalize on the appearance of Star Fox's main character, Fox McCloud, in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination boss Chris Meledandri recently shared the story of how Glen Powell landed the part in the sequel.
The Star Fox franchise has largely been dormant since Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard were released for Wii U in 2016. The franchise itself goes back to 1993, as the original Star Fox on SNES was a groundbreaking title for its era. For fans who have never played Star Fox before, there is a way to enjoy the older titles, but it involves signing up for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.

A noted Halo dataminer appears to have hinted at when Halo: Campaign Evolved will release--you just have to do some math to figure out what this leaker is claiming.
Halo fan account grunt.api shared a couple of math equations (spotted by Insider Gaming) that people seem to believe contain the launch dates of the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake. The equations read:
- EA: (18 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1
- OR: (8 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1
In case you're unwilling to do the arithmetic yourself, these equations suggest that Campaign Evolved will release in an early-access stage (or "EA" in the equation) on July 23, before an official release ("OR") on July 28. Presumably, the "early access" period would be for those who purchase a special edition of the game.

Microsoft has acknowledged that it accidentally released some Xbox controllers without included batteries. To make up for it, Microsoft is offering up compensation in the form of a free rechargeable battery as opposed to the standard AA batteries it should have come with.
This mishap impacted only a "limited number" of controllers, Microsoft said, and this has been going on since December 2025. Anyone who received an Xbox controller without batteries can visit this website to fill out a form to request a free rechargeable battery.
If you lost your original receipt, that's OK, as the registration process involves adding the unique serial number to Microsoft's website for validation. The affected controllers include newer Xbox wireless controllers and some Xbox Design Lab controllers.

Like a lot of crime stories, Samson: A Tyndalston Story is about desperation, but it's the first game about jacking cars, punching gangsters, and stealing money that I've ever seen really turn that desperation into a gameplay loop.
Developer Liquid Swords' dark and dingy third-person action game puts you in the title role as a low-level thug and expert wheelman who is way down on his luck. As is often a trope in stories like this, the protagonist owes a lot of money to bad people. Samson smartly grabs the trope of a crook trying to dig himself out of the hole with more bad decisions by turning it into the underlying structure of its gameplay--you work off your debt by doing crime, raising the stakes on a series of open-world quests about beating people up, robbing folks, and escaping the cops. Fail to pay what you owe, and things start to spiral.
After about three hours with Samson, I find it intriguing, but frustrating. While the premise is a cool one, it means doing lots of open-world tasks to earn money, many of which get repetitive quickly and start to feel like busywork. And while the narrative might eventually redeem a premise that has you doing a lot of the same crime stuff over and over, I hit a soft-lock in the first two hours that kept me from advancing the story and soured me on a lot of the experience.
Continue Reading at GameSpotForza Horizon 6 And Its Japanese Setting Elevate Great, But Familiar, Racing
Heading into its sixth entry, Playground Games has established a strong but now very recognizable Forza formula with its open-world racing series. Its Horizon series has occupied a space that no other in the genre has managed to claw back, offering the freedom to explore condensed versions of captivating locales behind the wheel of hundreds of different cars, from lowly commuting hatchbacks to concept cars pushing the limits of ground speed. In Forza Horizon 6, that formula doesn't seem to be changing all that much, leaving the much-requested Japanese setting to do a lot of the heavy lifting--a challenge that it has no problem rising to in the opening hours.
Our hands-on early look at what Forza Horizon 6 has to offer was limited. Alongside the game's opening prologue, the preview build featured just three races, split between a road race, cross country sprint, and trail race. Most of the map was open to explore, but with only a few dynamic events, consisting of just a handful of speed traps, drift zones, trailblazer sprints, and other familiar markings of the series. Collectibles, such as the returning bonus boards and new, region-specific mascots, were available in full, however, showing just how dense the map can be when you're hunting for all of them across your journey. Still, outside of open access to the largest map in Forza Horizon history, there wasn't much to provide a read on the quality of this entry's overall racing.
Even with a limited slice of Forza Horizon 6 on offer though, it's clear where Playground Games is trying to shake things up. The game opens up in the series' typical climactic fashion, throwing you around different scenarios and widely different cars as you're introduced to the various locales you'll be whizzing through over the next couple of hours. It's the type of showcase that Forza Horizon has perfected over the years, but unlike previous entries, this introduction doesn't end with your entry into the Horizon Festival. Instead, the camera pulls back into a sparsely furnished garage, the festival playing on a nearby TV, and all the horsepower you were in command of just seconds ago ripped away.

Project Hail Mary is the 2026 sci-fi film that everyone's talking about. It's the biggest domestic box office movie so far, even outdoing The Super Mario Galaxy movie, which has broken records. As a result, fans are clamoring for more content and re-reading the book. Soon, you'll be able to dive into a brand-new chapter set in the same timeline, stepping into the shoes of Ryland Grace in a game that blends augmented and virtual reality formats.
Maze Theory, that has also worked on video game adaptations of Peaky Blinders and Doctor Who, is working with Amazon MGM and novel author Andy Weir on Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars. This new chapter has been written especially for the game, and features plenty of Rocky and Ryland's heartwarming friendship moments.
Weir comments that the mixed reality format of the game makes that friendship feel even more immersive, saying, "Since creating Project Hail Mary a few years ago, fans have been waiting for more. This is the first step outside what happens in the book and movie, something you can only experience in mixed reality."

The most successful of the bunch was 2021's It Takes Two, which racked up 30 million units sold. A Way Out (2018) follows behind with 13 million copies, with Split Fiction (2025) ranking third with 7 million copies sold so far.
"We're stunned and amazed how many fans have enjoyed our games. Your love and support keeps us going and we can't wait to show you our fourth game," the developer said.

Continue Reading at GameSpotA Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remaster On Switch 2 Would Be A Huge Missed Opportunity
Almost three decades have passed since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time arrived on Nintendo 64 and set a new standard for 3D action-adventure games. Even to this day, the title is revered as one of the best video games ever created. So, if the remake report is true, it wouldn't be surprising to see Nintendo keep the core experience intact, while focusing on updating the visuals on Switch 2. But that would be a missed opportunity to transform the classic into a modern marvel that caters to today's audience.
In 1998, the developers behind Ocarina of Time created a revolutionary camera system with Z-targeting. By pressing the trigger button on the Nintendo 64 controller--which was equipped with a single analog stick--players could lock on to enemies for battling or key in on characters for engaging in dialogue. This 3D gameplay breakthrough actually came about during a theme park visit in Tokyo, according to an Iwata Asks interview in 2011. One team member remembers a ninja show in which a samurai caught a chain, linking the two adversaries. Meanwhile, another developer noted a fighter won a 1-vs.-20 battle because only one enemy attacked at a time. You can see how both of these origins led to the creation of Z-targeting.
It's a credit to Ocarina of Time that variations of Z-targeting are still incorporated in modern games. However, dual sticks have been a part of the fabric of console gaming for roughly 25 years now, so players are much more comfortable navigating 3D space.

Star Wars Eclipse, the upcoming Star Wars game from Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream, remains in development but progress is said to be "very slow going." NetEase, which owns Quantic Dream, could re-evaluate the project if the studio's upcoming free-to-play multiplayer title does not meet expectations, a report said.
According to Insider Gaming, Quantic Dream has completed a "good portion" of the game, but sources told the site the rest of it is not progressing at the expected rate. A source added that Quantic Dream held discussions with studio owner NetEase about hiring more staff, but this did not happen.
The report added that both Quantic Dream and NetEase are looking to Quantic Dream's free multiplayer game Spellcasters Chronicles to help bring in money to contribute to ongoing funding for Star Wars Eclipse. Spellcasters Chronicles is a 3v3 online multiplayer game that's unlike anything the studio has made before, and it entered early access in February this year. The game is free but makes money from microtransactions; revenue figures for the game are unknown, however.

After years of development, and significant upheaval that led to half the development staff being laid off and a major change to the project, Liquid Swords is releasing its first game, the gritty crime game Samson: A Tyndalston Story, on April 8 for PC. The studio was founded in 2022 by Christofer Sundberg, the outspoken and opinionated co-creator of the Just Cause series at Avalanche who branched off to start a "zero-nonsense" studio in Liquid Swords.
As Sundberg sees it, modern, traditional game development has become overwhelmed by "distractions that affect quality and motivation," and Samson coming to market this week will show off what a studio with that charter is capable of delivering.
GameSpot caught up with Sundberg this week to discuss his new game, the comparisons people are making to GTA, and its $25 price point. Sundberg also shared details on how Liquid Swords had to pull back the game's scope and ambition as a result of the layoffs in 2025 that the team said were necessary to keep the studio afloat for the long term.

Crimson Desert players, not content with exploring its massive open world, are now taking to the stars, and what they've found up there is surprisingly detailed.
As originally discovered by ItemRelocationClub on YouTube (via PC Gamer) and further highlighted by NikTek on X, a mod for Crimson Desert granting protagonist Kliff unlimited stamina allows those with a lot of patience to infinitely aerial stab their way into the cosmos.
This apparently takes several hours to accomplish, but once there, the view is certainly impressive. From space, players can actually see the curvature of Crimson Desert's world, far away galaxies, and other celestial bodies. Upon descending back to the earth, Kliff even seems to light on fire upon reentering the world's atmosphere, though this could just be a side effect of the equipped lantern making it appear that way.

After a year and a half, there's finally another DLC expansion available in Starfield. The Terran Armada expansion costs $10 for all non-Premium Edition players, and it comes alongside the Free Lanes Update, which delivers a slew of additional content to the Settled Systems.
Of course, if you own the Terran Armada expansion, you likely want to hop straight into that after downloading the new update. Unfortunately, the expansion isn't automatically added to your mission log in Starfield, as you need to manually start the first quest before you're able to begin fighting the Terran Armada. Below, you can see exactly what you need to do to start the Terran Armada DLC.
How to start the Terran Armada expansion in StarfieldFor starters, Starfield recommends players be level 50 or higher to start the Terran Armada DLC. While you can certainly stretch that level requirement and only be around level 35-40, you'll want to be fairly far along in the main story before attempting the expansion.
