WWE 2K25 Has Arrived On The Switch 2, But Is Missing A Key Component

Game News - Thu, 07/24/2025 - 22:42

WWE's latest, WWE 2K25, is finally out on Nintendo Switch 2, but it's missing one of the franchise's key elements. For any hardcore wrestling fan, creating--as well as downloading--custom superstars is one of the biggest draws. However, players quickly noticed that the Switch 2 version of the game doesn't have the image-uploader feature.

As frustrating as that is, there's a good reason: WWE 2K25 isn’t compatible with cross-platform community creations. While the latest DLC pack features the late ECW legend New Jack, recent acquisition Penta, and Japanese women's wrestling icon Bull Nakano, players who want to import logos or textures from wrestlers that aren't in the game won't be able to on Switch 2. That means Switch 2 players will be left with the default images featured in the game.

It might not be a dealbreaker for some, but it feels like the game is at a disadvantage if you want the full experience.

Five Nights At Freddy's 2 Trailer Reveals Darker Story And New Scares

Game News - Thu, 07/24/2025 - 22:24

The first trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has been revealed, giving fans of the horror franchise a fresh look at the murderous animatronic animals as they bust out of their fast-food prison and hit the streets. Directed by Emma Tammi--who directed the first movie--the film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 5.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 once again stars Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, who barely survived the events of the 2023 movie. The film also sees Elizabeth Lail and Mathew Lilard reprise their roles as Vanessa and Willaim Afton, respectively, and some of the new faces for the sequel include Mckenna Grace, Teo Briones, Skeet Ulrich, and Wayne Knight.

"One year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza," the official plot synopsis reads. "The stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town’s first-ever Fazfest. Former security guard Mike and police officer Vanessa have kept the truth from Mike's 11-year-old sister, Abby, concerning the fate of her animatronic friends. But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy's, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades."

Switch 2's Pro Controller Has Been Wildly Popular So Far

Game News - Thu, 07/24/2025 - 22:14

The Switch 2 has had some impressive early sales numbers, quickly proving to be one of the biggest console launches of all time, but one of its sales figures is particularly notable. Purchases of the premium-priced Pro Controller have been surprisingly high, with almost one-third of all early Switch 2 purchasers also picking up the $85 accessory.

The statistic was picked up by Circana industry analyst Mat Piscatella, who reported that the Switch 2 Pro Controller saw a 32% attach rate during the Switch 2's launch month--that is to say, 32% of people buying a Switch 2 also picked up the $85 premium controller. Piscatella also reports that the Switch 2 Pro Controller was June's best-selling accessory in dollars.

Game File reports that an estimated 512,000 Pro Controllers were sold in the US in the first month of the Switch 2's release, which is a huge number considering the luxury controller isn't necessary for playing the console or any of its launch games, and the original Switch's Pro Controller is also compatible. It's also worth noting that the Pro Controller saw a $5 price hike after its announcement, likely due to concerns around Trump's import tariffs.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Lifts Off With 115,000 Concurrent Players And Mostly Negative Reviews On Steam

Game News - Thu, 07/24/2025 - 22:08

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is out now, and it's having a big start on Steam. The $50 game reached more than 115,000 peak concurrent players, according to Steam's publicly available statistics.

That sounds like a big start, but any comparison to other Steam games would be inexact, incomplete, and unfair. What we do know is that the numbers on Steam represent just a portion of the game's total possible audience, as the title is also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as the Epic Games Store. Further, it's available on Game Pass, which in theory would help boost the game's player numbers. However, user reviews haven't been glowing thus far.

Regarding the poor reviews on Steam, many people are citing performance issues in their reviews. The game's social media pages have not yet addressed the reported performance issues.

Epic's Plan To Get Fortnite Back On iOS Has Hit A Snag In The UK

Game News - Thu, 07/24/2025 - 17:34

After successfully getting Fortnite reinstated on iOS through the App Store in the US and the Epic Games Store in the European Union, Epic Games' plans to follow either of these paths in the UK has hit a regulatory dead end.

Epic has posted a blog update expressing disappointment with the CMA, the competition regulator for the UK, after its roadmap included no plan to open the mobile landscape for alternative app stores like the Epic Game Store. "Four years after concluding that the App Store and Google Play Store are parallel monopolies the CMA has done nothing to allow competing stores," Epic says.

According to Epic, the CMA has "deprioritized store competition entirely, to be considered sometime in 2026." It references the EU's Digital Markets Act as a benchmark for allowing alternative app stores on mobile devices, citing a number of alternative stores that have sprung up in Europe including AltStore, Aptoide, and its own Epic Games Store.

ModRetro's N64 Tribute Console Has A Price, Launches Later This Year

Game News - Thu, 07/24/2025 - 17:00

Retro gaming fans might have to make a difficult choice soon, as ModRetro has revealed that its modern-day tribute to the Nintendo 64 console will cost $200. First teased last year, this could make it a viable alternative to the Analogue 3D, which costs $250.

ModRetro's newest product is M64. The best and most authentic way to play your favorite N64 games, bar none. Prepare your wallet and brace your mind.

Like the Analogue 3D, the M64 is also an FPGA console that aims to replicate the experience of using an N64 at a hardware level. This is the same direction that ModRetro took for the ModRetro Chromatic, a well-designed Game Boy successor that combines several modern conveniences with an authentic handheld gaming experience that can easily run all of your original Game Boy cartridges. The handheld also feels great to use, thanks to all of the premium materials incorporated into its design.
