Grammy-nominated singer Madison Beer has a couple of things she wants to say to Fortnite developer Epic Games. For starters, she wants Epic to stop changing the game so much, and secondly, she wants Epic to give her a skin for the game.

"I love Fortnite. They've changed it too much now, though. I'm a little bit upset with you, Epic Games," Beer said on the Hot Ones podcast (via Billboard). "No seriously. Let's speak really quickly. Let's get serious. Stop changing things that we love about Fortnite. Keep it original."

Beer's comments about Fortnite clearly come from a place of admiration for the game, and to that end, Beer pleaded with Epic to "give me a skin please!"

Valve has started testing a new feature that will allow users to add hardware specifications to user reviews, giving you more information when attempting to determine how a game might run on your own PC.

The update, which is currently being deployed to the Steam Beta Client, will give users the ability to attach hardware information to user reviews instead of just relying on users entering this in the text directly. The patch notes don't mention how or if these specifications will be verified by Steam, or whether the information is going to be sourced from Steam's optional Hardware Survey database.

Either way, it should give reviews more context when users leave criticism over a game's performance, letting you make a decision over whether it might affect your current hardware configuration. In addition to this, Valve is also giving users the option to allow for anonymized framerate data collection. This is currently exclusive to devices using SteamOS (which is officially just handhelds currently) but will apparently be used to help Valve determine game performance and compatibility to improve Steam going forward.

A new report claims that TikTok owner ByteDance is in "advanced talks" to sell its subsidiary Moonton Technology to Saudi Arabia's Savvy Games Group. The deal is estimated to be valued at between $6 billion and $7 billion, according to a report from Reuters.

ByteDance paid $4 billion in 2021 to buy Moonton, so that would be quite a return for the company. At $6 billion, Savvy buying Moonton would be the No. 5 biggest acquisition in the history of video games.

Reuters said ByteDance and Savvy have agreed on "broad terms" for the deal, and that a deal could be formalized by the end of March.

If you're a fan of wacky--and frequently vulgar--comedy games, you'll probably be interested in seeing what High on Life 2 has to offer. This raunchy, action-packed sequel packs in even more fart jokes, F-bombs, and grotesque creatures than the first outing, ensuring that you're always either laughing or holding back your lunch--or both at the same time. But if you're curious about diving in guns blazing for a second romp through this universe, you may want to know how long it'll take you to see it through. So, here's how long it takes to beat High on Life 2.

How long is High on Life 2?

High on Life 2 is faster-paced than the original, but it also provides larger, more open zones to explore and some surprisingly thoughtful puzzles you'll need to complete on your journey toward its conclusion. It's rarely overwhelmingly difficult, though, so if your goal is just to reach the end of the game and see the credits roll, then an average playthrough should take 10-12 hours. Still, for those who want more, there's a lot of optional stuff to see and do as you explore each area.

If you do decide to take on the additional content scattered throughout the world of High on Life 2, you can extend your total playtime by a few hours. Heading out to explore each of the game's main hubs during your downtime between missions can yield extra money (pesos) and useful upgrades. And if you're a true completionist looking to fill out the full trophy or achievement list, you'll find things like skateboard races, retro games to discover, and additional one-off tasks to complete on your quest to see absolutely everything in the game.

Reanimal may seem to be all about the jump scares and creepy imagery--and it largely is--but it also features a handful of fun secrets that can earn you in-game collectibles, as well as get you closer to obtaining 100% completion. In the case of the "Secret Bunker" trophy or achievement, you'll need to round up a secret code and input it into a machine somewhere on your adventure. But since the secret code is potentially the most easily overlooked thing in the entire game, we'll fill you in on where to find it, as well as where you'll need to enter it to complete this little side objective.

Where to find the secret code in Reanimal

You can find Reanimal's secret code in Chapter 1: Dead in the Water. However, note that the secret code is the same in every game, so if you've already passed this chapter and just want the answer, go ahead and skip to the next section for the location and solution.

When you arrive at the handcar for the first time, you'll need to find and attach some wheels before it can be used. Before doing any of that, enter the bottom right door in this area.

Reanimal may be a relatively brief game, but it houses a lot of secrets within its eerie world, ranging from bizarre masks to posters you can rip down to earn gallery art. However, perhaps its most compelling collectible of all is its five coffins that are expertly hidden throughout the game. Finding and interacting with them all will trigger everything you need to see Reanimal's secret ending, providing a little more insight into the game's creepy lore. In this guide, we'll tell you where to find each coffin so that you, too, can reach the secret ending in Reanimal.

Reanimal is a spiritual successor to developer Tarsier Studios' acclaimed horror franchise Little Nightmares, taking that series' disturbing imagery and sinister creature design to even darker levels than ever before. Playable solo or co-op (via split-screen or online), this nightmarish entry in the team's catalog doesn't hold back on the tension one bit, making it a potentially worthy grab for horror enthusiasts. Still, you may want to know what to expect from the game's length before diving in. If you're curious about how long it'll take to beat Reanimal, we've got everything you need to know below.

How long to beat Reanimal

Reanimal is a relatively brief experience that should take the average player around 5 or 6 hours to complete. Most chapters are linear with a clear path forward, and the puzzles that stand between you and the next room tend to be less brain teasers and more progression blockers designed to make you work together with your co-op partner (or AI companion if you're solo). The game's more challenging aspects include some occasional trial-and-error stealth and chase sequences--but they aren't anything too severe, either.

However, those looking to get the most out of Reanimal will find a lot of collectibles in nooks and crannies around its dark and unsettling environments, including posters, secret statues, and equippable masks. There are even extremely well-hidden coffins in secret places throughout the adventure, which will unlock a secret ending once they're all found. Taking the time to thoroughly search every section of the game can add a few more hours to your total playtime, maybe even pushing things past 10 hours if you get particularly stuck on the hunt for a particular collectible.

Silent Hill has made a big comeback in recent years, and the current Renaissance of psychological horror isn't over yet. The next game in the series, Silent Hill: Townfall, is out later this year--though it doesn't yet have a specific release date. Nevertheless, if you're feeling brave, you can preorder the $50 physical edition for PS5 through Amazon and Best Buy.

Silent Hill: Townfall $50 | Releases in 2026

Preorder bonuses for Silent Hill: Townfall have not yet been revealed, but a few details on the game have emerged. Set in 1996, players will step into the boots of the game's protagonist, Simon Ordell, and explore the foggy Scottish seaside town of St. Amelia. Haunted by strange monsters, Ordell will have to decide when to fight and when to run, and to aid him, he has a handheld TV that helps him when he uses stealth. Enemies appear on the small screen as blobs of static, and Ordell can use it to uncover the mystery of St. Amelia.

Developed by Scottish studio team Screen Burn and published by Annapurna Interactive, the game is also played from a first-person perspective. This is a big departure from previous Silent Hill games, which were all third-person psychological horror games.

Project Windless, a new open-world action RPG inspired by a Korean novel series, was announced for PS5 at the recent State of Play event. The game's developers used AI to help create the project, but AI-based elements are not a "central, player-facing feature," the developers clarified.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Krafton said AI was used "during exploratory phases" for the game to help drive efficiency.

"Krafton's studios operate with a high degree of creative independence, enabling each team to select the tools and methods that best suit their projects," a Krafton spokesperson said.

Just two months ago at The Game Awards, host Geoff Keighley gave a show-closing preview to the raid shooter Highguard. But after struggling out of the gate, Highguard developer Wildlight was hit by massive layoffs, and some are pointing the finger at Keighley for creating high expectations that the dev team couldn't live up to. However, at least one prominent figure in the industry doesn't believe Keighley should shoulder the blame for any of this mess.

"The Highguard layoffs, like many others, are a sad reminder of the economic instability of an industry that asks the world, but promises little," wrote Baldur's Gate 3 director of publishing, Michael Douse on X. "That said, blaming one man for showing a trailer on his telly show is a sophomoric take that shows little understanding of industry!"

"If anything, [Keighley] gave Highguard the best chance it could have," added Critical Hits founder Eric Arraché. "The problem was that the game wasn't that good (map too big for 3v3) and I believe it had some server problems on PC on day one. Aside from that, companies seem to be pulling out much faster since the Concord fiasco."

Until recently, Little Saint James--the private island formerly owned by convicted sex criminal and alleged human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein--had a Pokemon Go Pokestop. But following an outcry among players, the Epstein Island Pokestop has been removed by Pokemon Go owner Scopely.

According to Polygon, it's unclear when the Pokestop was added to the island, although Ingress estimates that it was somewhere between 2020 and 2021. Epstein died in prison in 2019, and the island isn't easily accessible to the general public. That hasn't stopped players from fooling the game and letting Pokemon Go virtually place them on the island.

Per Kotaku, the number of virtual Pokemon Go visits to Little Saint James dramatically increased this month as a way to draw attention to the Pokestop that was originally noticed well over a year ago. The release of a new round of Epstein files appears to have spurred that surge, until Scopely quietly removed the Pokestop earlier this week.

Highguard hasn't even been out a month yet, but the raid shooter has had an epic fall since that time. Earlier this week, a number of developers behind the game were hit by layoffs as the game's developer Wildlight left only a few with their jobs. Now, one of the remaining developers at Wildlight has shared his thoughts on what happened.

Jason McCord--the creative director of Highguard--confirmed on social media that he is still a part of the company. But he added that "yesterday was a kick to the head like nothing you can imagine. I am not affected by the layoffs, besides emotional damage."

McCord went on to offer contacts "for some amazing devs" if any other teams want to hire Wildlight's former employees.
