Fortnite players are like any other gaming community with a mix of wholesome and toxic elements. Recently, the community has come together to discuss the little things they love about the game. What exactly gives players those warm and fuzzy feelings right now? Action Taken! Action taken! Image via Epic Games According to Redditors on r/FortNiteBR, one of the best feelings in the world is receiving a confirmation from Epic Games that the cheater you reported has been banned or suspended. It is a rare occurrence, but when you get that little screen pop-up to tell you the “suspect has been apprehended,” it gives you a sense of real satisfaction. That’s one less cheater to worry about.

Desktop Mate is a cute little indie game taking Steam by storm right now, giving players a chance to spawn an anime character **** on their screen to interact with while they play games and perform other tasks. It’s free-to-play, but for an additional fee, Hatsune Miku fans can get the popular Vocaloid to appear over the generic anime character on offer, which has caused Miku fans to come to the game in droves. Of course, this has also led fans to ask if the game has any mods of other popular characters that can also be imported into the game. View the full article
Marvel Rivals fans now have their first look at upcoming playable character Blade and even an idea of when he’ll be playable, via a fresh leak. First revealed by X/Twitter user Miller Ross, the Blade image is lifted from an in-game gallery card set to launch alongside Season 1. The image also features Ratatoskr, a giant Asgardian squirrel beast. Developer NetEase Games has yet to announce Blade as an upcoming playable character. In the lead up to #MarvelRivals #EternalNightFalls, Dracula subdues the two greatest threats to his Empire of Eternal Night—Blade and Ratatoskr. But the #FantasticFour won't let New York fall to the undead without a fight, and they prove to be formidable foes in Blade's absence. [Hidden Content] — Miller Ross (@mmmmmmmmiller) January 8, 2025 According to the in-game lore, new villain Dracula “subdues” Blade and Ratatoskr, but the Fantastic Four, set to arrive with the launch of Season 1 this week, are ready to save the day. Based on this image and lore, fans are speculating that by the end of Season 1, the Fantastic Four will have defeated Dracula and saved Blade, making him available as a playable character for the launch of Season 2. Blade was leaked as an upcoming playable character ahead of this official first-look. The vampire hunter is part of a list of leaked characters that popped up even before Marvel Rivals launched in December. That list included Mister Fantastic and Sue Storm, both of which are due out with Season 1’s launch on January 10. Season 2 is expected to launch in April 2025. In the shorter term, we have Marvel Rivals Season 1 global release times info, Season 1 patch notes, and official stats that reveal Marvel Rivals' pick and win rates in Quickplay and Competitive modes for Season 0. Check out IGN’s Marvel Rivals Review to find out what we think.

A new leaked ability for Mydei in Honkai: Star Rail 3.1 has emerged and, while the majority of his gameplay kit seems somewhat interesting, this specific aspect may be extremely disappointing for players.

The character is still a while away from being released seeing that the turn-based RPG by HoYoverse is still set to enter Version 3.0. The update will introduce several Amphoreus characters in Honkai: Star Rail as NPCs as the Astral Express crew members make their way to the new destination. View the full article

What were you doing in 2016? I was in my second year of university, diligently writing essays about witches in Scotland and drinking far too much bad coffee. But elsewhere in 2016, Amistech Games released My Summer Car in early access, a vehicle-building sim with a permadeath twist. With a website straight out of the '90s and a nostalgic vibe that I'm absolutely obsessed with, after a decade in early access 1.0 is finally here, and the game has skyrocketed up the Steam charts as a result.

AMD might have largely ignored its RDNA 4 graphics card launch on the big stage of CES 2025, but leakers aren't. Fresh AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT benchmarks and specs have appeared hinting the new card really will be a strong contender when it launches. The leaks include two 3DMark tests, indications of the card's total board power, and discussions of just how generally impressive its performance is. The card is still set to be a mid-range part in the grand scheme of 2025's best graphics cards, with the RTX 5090 sitting well clear of the rest, but AMD's latest looks set to bring Nvidia 4080 Super levels of performance in some situations, according to these leaks.

What's your vision for Half-Life 3? It's been 20 years since the last full game in Valve's generational FPS series, and we've all had plenty of time to imagine what the sequential return of Gordon Freeman, Alyx Vance, and the G-Man might look like. Presumably, Half-Life 3 will pick up where Episode Two (and, latterly, Half-Life Alyx) left off, and cast us into the quest to find the missing Borealis. But who knows? With Deadlock on the way and Counter-Strike 2 still pulling in players by the millions, Valve seems to have its hands full. On the contrary, a mysterious new listing on the developer's own Steam page, in combination with some other recent teases, suggests Half-Life 3 might actually, maybe, possibly be real.

Over the Christmas break, I took a brief hiatus from reporting on every time a Total War developer breathes or spills tea on their shirt. The year ended, the world did not, and no Thanquol DLC was announced, but I did miss what I reckon is the strongest hint they’ve yet freely given that strategy game Total War: Warhammer 40,000 is both real and due an announcement very soon.
