Diablo 4 Season 9 launched July 1, and it hasn't taken long for players to discover an infinite-damage bug for the Sorcerer class that is trivializing the ARPG's hardest content. Even worse, it's not hard to replicate.

As broken down by Diablo content creator Mekuna (via PC Gamer), the bug revolves around the Sorcerer's Enlightenment Key Passive, which can be activated by casting skills of a different element to generate Enlightenment stacks. At 100 stacks, the Sorcerer becomes Enlightened and benefits from increased damage, mana regeneration, and attack speed for a limited time.

That's simple enough, but the passive is currently interacting with a new seasonal power, Smoldering Embers, that for some reason causes the damage bonus from Enlightenment to go through the roof when entering portals to a new area. By proccing Enlightenment right before going to a portal, the Sorcerer's elemental damage multipliers start to go up exponentially, with Mekuna's video showing how at one point, after going through several portals using the bug, his Sorcerer had plus 581,000,000,000% more Lightning damage.

In the last nine years, Dead by Daylight has crossed over with numerous horror franchises, so it was inevitable that The Walking Dead would be added to their number. Now, that collaboration is around the corner and three of The Walking Dead's heroes will enter Dead by Daylight.

Behaviour Interactive has shared a teaser trailer for the Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead collaboration which re-envisions some aspects of the latter's opening credits sequence with the show's iconic theme.

Rick Grimes and Michonne are being added as new survivors, while Daryl Dixon will enter the game through a legendary outfit from The Walking Dead collection. Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus are reprising their roles as Rick and Daryl for voiceovers in the game. Danai Gurira--who starred as Michonne in The Walking Dead--wasn't mentioned by name in the announcement.

PlayStation's next State of Play event is all about the upcoming Ghost of Yotei, taking place this week on July 10. Over on the official PlayStation Blog, Sucker Punch Productions said it'll be the "best look yet" at the game with a deep dive into gameplay.

How to watch the Ghost of Yotei State of Play

To check out the Ghost of Yotei State of Play, you just need to head to PlayStation's official Twitch and YouTube channels.

Ghost of Yotei State of Play start time

Those of you in the US will be able to tune into the Ghost of Yotei State of Play in the afternoon, but it'll be a bit of a late one for European viewers, and even later for those in Japan and Australia.

As ICE raids continue to take place across the US, an itch.io bundle has been set up to help raise funds for two organizations. The first is the LA-based Immigrant Defenders Law Center, a "next-generation social justice law firm that defends our immigrant communities against injustices in the immigration system," as described on its website. The second is the Texas-based Raices, an organization that provides "legal and social services to people and families who want to put down roots in the US."

The No ICE in California bundle will set you back only $10, a reasonably easy amount of money to part with considering it's going to two organizations doing important work, but it also nets you 560 games as an added bonus. It mostly includes tabletop games, but there are a number of video games in it, as well as some game-making assets.

Highlights include games like Bombing!! A Graffiti Sandbox, where you can practice your graffiti skills in low-fi environments; Raptor Boyfriend: A High School Romance, a "dating sim about a teen girl who moves to a small secret community of cryptids;" and the tabletop RPG Garfield ± You, a "two player RPG about a person experiencing major milestones in their life, at which time they also are visited by Garfield."

Majjam is the first game from the recently-announced studio Opus Major, and it's an exciting multiplayer adventure game that relies entirely on music to power its gameplay. From the way you traverse the world and engage in combat through to how you interact and explore, Majjam is inspired by "live jam" sessions--where musicians bring their instruments and voices to an improvised musical collaboration.

Majjam is described as a co-op multiplayer adventure and MMO, where you can use your own rhythms, melodies, and harmonies to work together to rescue the world around you. Music, as the world's life force, is the only thing holding back the corruptive element known as Kodé. Kodé is a dark presence that's encouraging death and silence via an ominous fog.

Working together, you and your friends will harness musical energy via jams, using your characters' unique abilities and instruments to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and ultimately rescue the world.

I thought the introduction of The Outlast Trials' previous Big Bad, a gun-wielding, man-child mobster named Francisco Barbie, was pretty ruthless of the development team at Red Barrels, but Season 4's introduction of conjoined twins who work together to find and slaughter players is really taking it to another level.

Project Diarchy, The Outlast Trials' latest season of content, is coming on July 15, bringing the new Prime Assets (major enemies) to the game, Otto and Arora Kress. The twins share a single body, but are conjoined in such a way that Arora is almost riding atop Otto's shoulders, pointed in another direction, thus giving the killers more coverage when they're prowling for players in shadows, lockers, or barrels.

Otto wields a chainsaw, while Arora lobs toxic chemicals at players. Together, they have a 360-degree field of vision, which will make sneaking around much harder. Red Barrels says the pair combine to make up "the most difficult Prime Asset [players] have yet faced."

Black Desert has been an ongoing MMORPG for almost a decade now, and if you're in the mood for something completely immersive, you can check it out on Steam right now for free--for a few more days, that is. Available until July 10, Black Desert is free, saving you $10, with the DLCs also on sale for 40-50% off.

Part life-sim, part action game, Black Desert is more malleable than similar games. Players can choose to focus on quests and combat, but if trade, commerce, and crafting are more of their thing, the game becomes something more.

Go full Berserk if you want in Black Desert.Gallery

The game currently has almost 60,000 reviews on Steam, with most of them positive, though there are a few mixed reviews in. Over at GameSpot sister site Metacritic, the game is currently sitting at a 73, with the user reviews being exponentially less kind, as is often the case with very popular games.

It's been a little under a month since Peak launched, having achieved one million copies sold within its first week, no small feat for a game that was essentially made in a month. Within that same week it managed to climb past 102,000 concurrent players, and as shared by co-developer Aggro Crab, it brushed past that record once again. In the team's own words, "Where's the guy that said the game would be dead in a week?"

Over the weekend, according to SteamDB, the game reached an all-time peak of just under 114,500 players. For comparison, Content Warning, a game from other co-developer Landfall that sits within that slightly hard to define genre of comedy co-op games, achieved an all-time peak of a little over 204,000 when it was released. The big difference there is that Content Warning was free at launch, so Peak's accomplishment is nothing to be sniffed at.

Surviving with friends in PEAK.

Last week, the game received a fresh update with a few bug fixes that was quickly reverted due to inviting in even more bugs missed in testing. Right now the main thing for both developers is prioritizing bug fixes and stability, but in a Steam post from last month they did say that they are "looking into possible updates." No details on what that might include, and that did come with the caveat that you shouldn't expect new content right away.

One of our favorite Marvel sets, the Daily Bugle is a massive project focused on the newspaper building. Not only does this set contain numerous odes to the New York way of life, but the tower is packed with various rooms, like editor J. Jonah Jameson's office, working space for Daily Bugle staffers, and more. You're also getting 25 minifigures to pose on the building, including Spider-Man, Venom, and Doc Ock.

Some of NASA's best technology is gathering lunar dust on the moon, but you can bring some of that space-age magic home with this replica of the Apollo Rover. It doesn't come with minifigures, but it is loaded with small details accurate to the real-deal vehicle, like Apollo 17’s TGE module, tools for extracting moon-rocks, and various other equipment sets that can be separately displayed with name-plates.

See at Lego The Milky Way Galaxy (3,091 pieces) $160 (was $200)

Can Lego be art? The answer is a resounding yes, thanks to sets like this that recreate the majesty of our galaxy. This kit does a fantastic job of bringing the stars to your home, as the selection of pieces do an impressive job in creating a 3D effect of color, depth, and texture. You'll also be building the frame for this, and when you're done, it can easily be hung up on your wall.

Back in the late '80s, one of the big Lego lines was Blacktron, and it was succeeded by Blacktron Future Generation in 1991. This set pays homage to that series as it's based on the original, asymmetrical Renegade spaceship design. The modular ship can fit two pilots in the cockpit and it also comes with extra vehicles that you can build.

Another Animal Crossing set to check out is KK's Concert at the Plaza. This recreates an iconic moment from the video game series, and it's full of extras like a customizable toy flag, a food stand, a vehicle with a removable roof, and minifigures of Isabelle, KK, and Audie.

This cool tribute to Walt Disney shows just how far the movie-making process has come over a century. While it looks like a vintage film camera at first, once you examine it closer you'll find numerous small details in the build. There's also a film strip with 20 historic stills that you wrap around the camera, and next to it, a director's clapperboard that you can pose Disney himself on alongside other famous characters from the world of animation.

We have seen this set listed for cheaper at other stores and have included links to them, but you obviously won't be getting Lego Insider points if you purchase from them.

Take a trip back to the Viking age with this set, as it featuresonnectible models of a blacksmith’s smithy, chieftain’s longhouse, and a watchtower. Each building has additional interactive elements, and for the minifigures, you're getting a blacksmith, chieftain, shield-maiden, and an archer.

See at Lego Motorized Lighthouse (2,065 pieces) $225 (was $300)

A lighthouse still makes for an iconic piece of naval-themed architecture, and this set is a sight to behold. It includes a cottage with a glowing fireplace for the lighthouse keeper minifigure, a winding staircase, a rowboat, and more. The best feature here is that the lighthouse has a working light, as you're getting a motor and lights to build a functional lantern.

Designed in collaboration with musician Pharrell Williams, this set captures the spirit of space travel with a spaceship that is blasting off into the cosmos.

Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition is now available for a new all-time low price as part of Amazon's Prime Day 2025 sale. The Nintendo Switch and PS4 physical editions of the six-game collection are discounted to only $45 (was $75) through July 11, or until inventory sells out.

Released last October for Switch and PlayStation, the Anniversary Edition comes with a sticker sheet of Final Fantasy character sprites. It's worth emphasizing that this is a true physical release, with all six Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on the Switch cartridge or PS4 disc (fully compatible with PS5). Square Enix initially released the physical in 2023, but the small print run sold out extremely fast. Last fall's re-release brought the collection to major retailers for the first time as the Anniversary Edition.

In 2021, PUBG publisher Krafton purchased Unknown Worlds, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Subnautica. The sequel, Subnautica 2, began development roughly a year later. But last week, Subnautica director and designer Charlie Cleveland and his fellow Unknown Worlds co-founder Max McGuire were reportedly forced out the company alongside CEO Ted Gill. Now, Cleveland has shared a message for fans about his ouster and where Subnautica 2 currently stands.

In an extended post on Reddit, Cleveland wrote "the events of this week have been quite a shock" in addition to recapping the history of Unknown Worlds, which began with a Half-Life mod called Natural Selection. Krafton's announcement of Cleveland's departure suggested that Subnautica 2 isn't ready for early access, an assertion that the director denies.

"We know that the game is ready for early access release and we know you're ready to play it," said Cleveland. "And while we thought this was going to be our decision to make, at least for now, that decision is in Krafton’s hands. And after all these years, to find that I'm no longer able to work at the company I started stings."

World of Tanks is getting some surprising guest stars with the next Battle Pass Special. Duke Nukem and Tomb Raider's Lara Croft will be getting their own personalized tanks as they headline two separate Heroes' Paths chapters from July 10 to July 21. According the launch trailer below, Lara's chapter will have 30 stages while Duke's will have 40.

Keeley Hawes is reprising her role as Lara Croft from a handful of Tomb Raider games that were released before the 2013 reboot, as well as Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Although Lara isn't known for using a tank, her vehicle of choice in this game is a Tier VIII U.S. versatile medium tank that comes with a lot of Lara's archeology tools including her hatchet, ropes, cables, a winch, and more.

Jon St. John--the original and only voice of Duke Nukem--is also stepping back into his iconic role for this guest appearance. Unlike Lara, Duke riding in a tank feels very much in character. His ride is a nuclear-powered TS-6, a Tier IX U.S. assault heavy tank. Understandably, it comes with a lot of Duke's heavy ordinance including laser machine guns, grenade launchers, and other "enhanced weapons systems."

After being out for more than a decade and dropping a few dozen DLC packs along the way, The Sims 4 is a fairly complex game. And if you play with mods, that complexity ramps up very quickly--which creates some consequences. The more mods you add, the slower and less stable the overall game will become. And if you've also loaded up your worlds with hundreds of Sims that you downloaded from the Gallery, things can get messy pretty fast--think long load times and Sims constantly getting stuck.

It's the sort of mess that a lot of long-time Sims 4 players have to deal with regularly--there are folks out there who have downloaded thousands of pieces of custom content over the years, and The Sims 4 does not load all that stuff very quickly. But don't worry--since this is not a new problem, we've got some well-established solutions you can try to get your game running better.

One quick and easy solution is clearing the game's cache--the place it temporarily stores images and other data for easy recall. While clearing the cache will mostly benefit mod users, it can also help if your worlds are overly full of Sims and complex homes that you've built or downloaded from the Gallery.

The return of Bleach has been well received so far, as the anime has featured some of the best animation to date in the franchise's long history. Not only does it look good, but this final story arc also features some of the biggest battles to date, where every major character gets a chance to shine. Part 1 gets the ball rolling with the invasion of Soul Society by the Wandenreich, while Part 2 showcases the power of the big bad Yhwach as he leads an all-out assault on the Soul King's palace.

Watchmen Chapter 1 $20 (was $34)

For fans of the source material, you can pick up Watchmen Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 for $20 each. This is a faithful-to-a-fault adaptation of the superhero murder-mystery, as Warner Bros. used CG-animation to make the film look like an uncanny replica of Gibbons' original artwork.

It's an almost exact duplicate of the original 12-issue series from almost 40 years ago, and while it is admirable at how faithful this version is, some of it doesn't quite translate that well to this media format. Still, if you're looking to see the Watchmen story in motion, this is worth picking up.

Picking up right after the vigilante Rorscharch is framed for murder and imprisoned, Watchmen Chapter 2 moves along at a brisk pace toward its shocking finale.

See at Amazon Watchmen: Ultimate Cut (4k) $15 (was $35)

This is the Ultimate Cut edition of Zack Snyder's take on Watchmen, and while it sticks fairly close to the comic books, it does take some liberties along the way. It's still a slick action-thriller with perfect casting throughout, and it looks amazing in motion. The Ultimate Cut edition features an impressive selection of bonus materials, as well as the animated Tales of the Black Freighter, incorporated into the movie.

Several years later, a sequel to the Watchmen comic books was released in the form of the confusingly titled Watchmen series on HBO. Picking up decades after the world was "saved" by the machinations of Ozymandias, the nine-episode series introduced new characters, themes, and a brand-new mystery. Critically acclaimed, Watchmen won numerous awards after it aired, including several Primetime Emmys.

The original Watchmen comic books are also readily available, and they come in several editions. The Watchmen regular paperback version is a consistent bestseller, and there's a pocket-friendly edition from DC's line of Compact Comics, but if you feel like spoiling yourself, you can grab deluxe and collector's edition versions of this all-time classic. The Watchmen Deluxe Edition is a reprint of the story on high-quality paper and includes 32 pages of bonus content.

The Watchmen Collector's Edition has been discounted to $70, and this version reproduces the entire series as 12 single-issue hardcovers, utilizing high-quality, recolored pages from Watchmen: Absolute Edition. It also comes in a slipcase to keep all of the issues in mint condition. Lastly, Before Watchmen completes the set, as you can get the entire run of mini-series focused on characters like Rorschach and Ozymandias inside of an omnibus hardcover edition. This prequel featured the best talent from the comic book industry at the time, resulting in fascinating tales created by notable creators such as Brian Azzarello, Darwyn Cooke, Amanda Conner, J.G.
