There’s nothing quite like a fast-paced match in Marvel Rivals—colorful abilities flying, team synergies clicking (or not), and just enough chaos to make you question your life choices. But some players have found themselves squinting harder than Spider-Man in a foggy alley, trying to figure out if they should be running toward or away from a glowing circle of death—or, in this case, life. Redditor spidoxx kicked things off with a meme-worthy observation: “Why can’t the enemy Luna ult just be red?” Cue a squinting Spider-Man meme and a flood of players commiserating. While some stayed on meme patrol with more squinty Spideys, others dived into the serious side of the discussion: Luna Snow’s ultimate ability is confusing if both teams are using her, and players want it fixed.

Forza Horizon 3’s online services have received a new lease of life recently, despite the game being delisted, and fans are pleased Playground Games is committed to maintaining those features.

Last year’s annual CPU tug-of-war was cleanly won by AMD, its obscenely fast Ryzen 7 9800X3D almost singlehandedly leaving Intel and their Core Ultra chips in a heap of mud and P.E.-spec rope. Coming soon to press that advantage are the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D, a pair of even higher-spec processors that headlined AMD’s plethora of CES 2025 hardware announcements. No pricing (or exact release date) on these yet, but they both up the core and thread counts over the 9800X3D while peaking at higher boost clock speeds. And, of course, they share the same 3D V-Cache design that makes the 9800X3D such a superlative CPU in the first place. If you don’t know what this is and how it helps game performance, imagine how much faster you could eat Wotsits if you had a massive bucket of them on your desk at all times, instead of having to get up and walk to the kitchen to grab individual packs. In this case the Wotsits are data, the bucket is 3D V-Cache, and the hastened ruination of your digestive system is games running faster. Read more View the full article
Good news for mini gaming PC builders looking for the highest spec graphics card, at least in part. The new flagship Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card has been added, along with other RTX 50-series gaming GPUs such as the RTX 5080, to Nvidia's SFF-Ready certification list for small form factor PC builds. ******* Nvidia RTX 40-series cards like the RTX 4090 were excluded from this list due to their size, meaning that SFF builders couldn't guarantee using the best graphics card available in their SFF-Ready PC case. In a surprising turn of events, though, the new flagship RTX 5090 Founders Edition looks to be an incredibly slim affair, with a reduced PCB size and a clever new cooler helping to reduce it to only a two slot thickness. This makes producing a top spec, mini gaming PC build a possibility this time around. Read the rest of the story...

GTA 6 is taking us back to Vice City - or at least a new, modernized version - and it's bound to be epochal. But despite the warm weather of Rockstar's take on Miami, and the enormous size and scale of San Andreas, Liberty City remains the developer's greatest architectural achievement. In Grand Theft Auto 4, it's a dense, living and breathing metropolis. In GTA 3, it's more of a playground - Portland, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale are filled with opportunities for criminal mischief and cartoon violence. But there's one key feature that makes your journey through Liberty City feel more thrilling. If you remember Grand Theft Auto 3 for its cinematic car chases, one former Rockstar developer explains the trick behind their creation. Read the rest of the story...

If you're quick, you can upgrade your gaming PC to 32GB of RAM for a fantastically low price, giving your system plenty of capacity to run the latest games and apps without grinding to a halt. This Corsair kit comes with RGB lighting too and runs at an ample 6400MT/s so it won't hold back your CPU speed, making it a fantastic gaming RAM deal.

Valve is changing how it releases Deadlock updates going forward, meaning we'll see less of them in 2025. The Half-Life and Counter-Strike maker says the current cycle of patches is making it difficult for the team to iterate the MOBA, which is why we'll be waiting longer between major updates from now on. This isn't a bad thing, though, because Valve also makes it clear that major Deadlock changes will now be ******* than before, even if we're waiting longer for them to drop.

What are the latest Ice Fishing Simulator codes? Some of the best simulation games are about a relaxing experience. Just sitting, chilling, not thinking too hard while improving on your surroundings or the task in-hand. Ice Fishing Simulator is just that, letting you chill out - quite literally - at your very own ice hole, fish, and earn cash to kit out your area with all the comforts needed for outdoors life. Those comforts - like a tent, sleeping bag, or comfortable chair - of course come at a cost, and, like most Roblox games, you'll need coins and gems to buy them in the simulation game. While they can be earned in-game, it never hurts to have a free boost, so enter the Ice Fishing Simulator codes below to reel in some cool rewards.

Capcom has announced a second open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds ahead of its release date. The beta includes the content from the first beta but adds returning monster Gypceros to hunt. You’ll get to use the character realtor, play the story trial, and complete the Slay Doshaguma Quest. Capcom said those who played the first beta can transfer their character to the second beta, and then onto the full game release. Game progress, however, does not carry forward, but those who take part in the test get special bonuses that can be redeemed in the full game, including a decorative charm for your weapon or Seikret, and an item pack. Capcom warned fans that improvements it has already announced are set for the full release will not make it into the second open beta. This includes performance improvements, balance changes, weapon mechanics, and other known issues. Monster Hunter Wilds’ second open beta goes live February 6 at 7pm PT, and runs until February 9 at 6.59pm PT. If you miss out on that, don’t worry: another beta weekend is set for the following weekend (February 13 to 16). Monster Hunter Wilds then launches proper on February 28. Monster Hunter Wilds is the subject of the latest IGN First, which kicked off with two brand new videos featuring gameplay of Ajarakan and Rompopolo on the Oilwell Basin map. We visited Capcom’s offices in Japan, where we played the first five hours or so of Monster Hunter Wilds, and exclusively faced a few Oilwell Basin local monsters. Look out for more gameplay throughout January, along with in-depth interviews, fun details, and a final preview for Monster Hunter Wilds. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

Yesterday, we reported that the US federal government had placed ******** video game publisher Tencent - owner of League Of Legends developers Riot Games, Path Of Exile developers Grinding Gear and much more besides - on a list of ******** military companies. The list in question is part of a strategy of counteracting what the US sees as the close relationship between China's armed forces and various civilian technology suppliers and research projects. At the time of publication yesterday, a Tencent spokesperson had commented that the listing was based on a "misunderstanding". In a statement sent to RPS overnight and also published online, Tencent's chairman Ma Huateng and executive board have now said that they're prepared to get legal if the misunderstanding isn't resolved.
