Cyberpunk 2077 was thought done and dusted, and with good reason — CD Projekt had said it was itself! But alas, just when you thought the developer was out, it pulled itself back in, and now fans are set to get a surprise last (for real this time) patch for the game. CD Projekt announced patch 2.3 is coming to Cyberpunk 2077. “We have been cooking for you in secret for a bit,” Paweł Sasko, Associate Game Director at CD Projekt on Cyberpunk 2, said in a post on social media. “As usual, I'm taking care of the update personally and we will communicate more, when it's ready. Much love chooms ” CD Projekt didn’t say what is in patch 2.3, but given how meaningful December 2024's patch 2.2 was, fans are already getting excited. Let’s remember that last patch, created in partnership with support developer Virtuos, added in lots more customization options and made Johnny Silverhand, played by Keanu Reeves, appear next to you more frequently. There were new secrets to discover, too. Could patch 2.3 go one step further and add new quests and characters? More information will be revealed later this month, CD Projekt said. The announcement comes alongside the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on Nintendo Switch 2, and with the recent confirmation that Cyberpunk 2 has moved into the pre-production phase of development. But don’t hold your breath — CD Projekt has suggested it won't release until late 2030 or even early 2031. In the meantime, it seems the five-year-old Cyberpunk 2077 still has a lot to offer.

It isn't a huge surprise that Dune Awakening has attracted so much attention. The Dune sci-fi universe, originating in Frank Herbert's novels and recently given new attention thanks to a pair of acclaimed movies, has always been compelling, regardless of medium. It's also proved a good fit for videogames, having inspired groundbreaking RTS games like Dune 2 and newer strategy projects like Dune: Spice Wars. Naturally, then, a sprawling MMO version of Dune, with survival design reminiscent of Valheim, No Man's Sky, or DayZ, wouldn't have a had time finding an audience. And that certainly seems to be the case with Dune Awakening, which doesn't officially launch until next week but has already attracted an enormous player base on Steam in 'Advanced Access.'

****** Myth: Wukong, the action RPG inspired by the classical ******** novel Journey to the West, will finally make its way to Xbox Series X/S on August 20, 2025, exactly one year after it was released on PS5 and PC. Xbox shared the news on Twitter/X, saying, "You are the Destined One. ****** Myth: Wukong is coming August 20. Pre-order begins June 18!" You are the Destined One. ****** Myth: Wukong is coming August 20. Pre-order begins June 18! [Hidden Content] — Xbox (@Xbox) June 6, 2025 ****** Myth: Wukong has been a megahit, as it has sold over 25 million copies as of January 31, 2025. However, its absence from Xbox Series X/S has always been notable since it was never billed outright as an exclusive. There were sources who claimed the delay was due to a Sony exclusivity deal and not tech issues, but the boss of ****** Myth: Wukong developer Game Science, Fen Ji, reportedly placed the blame on the Xbox Series S. “The only thing missing is the Xbox,” he said, per machine learning translation, “which somehow feels a bit wrong, but that 10GB of shared memory — without years of optimisation experience — is really hard to make work.” Now, it appears those issues have been resolved and Xbox players will soon be able to add this game to their libraries. In our ****** Myth: Wukong review, we said, "Despite some frustrating technical issues, ****** Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world." ****** Myth: Wukong has had more than reports of technical issues, as we reported on the developer's history of sexism back in 2023.

Survival MMO Dune: Awakening isn’t even officially out yet, but it’s already hitting major milestones. During its advanced access *******, Dune: Awakening has attracted almost 100,000 concurrent players on Steam. View the full article
My old man is a stoic, rug-on-Valium kind of guy, and it takes a lot to make him shriek like a horror movie starlet. That said, I do recall seeing him on the verge of this as he clawed at the dash of my ‘86 Ford Laser during my very first L’s lesson. It would be the one and only father-son attempt we’d make. He gladly shelled out for professional lessons (and possibly therapy for himself) the next day. Somehow, it’s now 30 years later, and that fond memory now terrifies me. Soon, I’ll have to repeat the exact same process, albeit riding shotgun as I watch my eldest son “drive.” To put that danger into sharper focus, he’s been raised on a diet of Burnout games and the drift-centric anime called Initial D. Being an ideas man who values his continued existence, I thought to get ahead of the problem by taking the simulator route. More specifically, I kitted up my already tricked-out R12 Moza racing cockpit with a multi-function stalk to recreate an “in traffic” driver’s experience. Also, I got them because they just looked cool as hell. I selfishly wanted one for my own Euro Truck Simulator 2 sessions. When I combined said Truck-fest with an SUV mod, a VR headset to let him check blind spots, and an H-shifter (because I do this fathering business right), he and I put this nifty peripheral through its paces. We can get right to that process if you click here; otherwise, let me showcase the considerable, maybe just pay for lessons price of admission for this setup. The Multi-stalk Test Setup Moza Truck Wheel Clamp - $75Moza Handbrake / Shifter Clamp - $89 A Premium Peripheral Stalked These Multi-function Stalks deliver a compelling blend of car-grade craftsmanship and sim racing versatility, offering truck enthusiasts (and inventive helicopter parents like me) an authentic cockpit experience. Crafted from durable aluminium alloy and high-strength steel, these stalks boast an impressive 28 programmable switches, auto-cancelling turn signals, and integrated wiper, headlight, and cruise control levers to replicate real-world vehicle control. With hidden ****** designs and ergonomic mounting options compatible with all MOZA bases (and select third-party setups), the stalks not only look sleek but also feel robust under intense virtual hauls. Better yet, their constantly patched integration with MOZA’s Pit House software ensures decent plug-and-play functionality for Euro Truck Simulator 2. From the onset, and though it probably sounds ridiculous to hear this, I was mighty surprised by just how much this peripheral revs up the ol’ immersion factor. I could not wipe the stupid grin off my face while doing menial driving tasks like signalling lane changes, adjusting ***********, and toggling wipers with the tactile satisfaction of operating a real vehicle's stalks. This is especially true in VR. To be given instinctual “blind” access to so many functions (instead of stabbing at a keyboard in hope) is a game-changer. Build Quality When it comes to components, MOZA emphasises “authentic car-grade controls,” employing the same materials found in production vehicles for the stalks, dials, and switches. Specifically, the stalk bodies and levers are constructed from premium aluminium alloy, striking a balance between lightweight feel and structural rigidity. The mounting brackets, meanwhile, use high-strength steel to ensure your controls stay rock-solid during spirited cornering—virtual or otherwise. True petrolheads will appreciate the hidden ****** design, a neat trick that tucks all fasteners beneath a magnetic faceplate, preserving a clean aesthetic akin to a modern vehicle dashboard. Even the extension rods that add clearance between your wheel and the stalks are machined precisely, finishing with anodized touches that resist scratches and corrosion over countless virtual kilometres. All in all, this is a slick-looking addition that is surely going to be the gateway drug to make me visit my local auto wreckers in search of a dashboard to sit around my Moza rig. Unless somebody talks me down from this idea. And please do. I really don’t have the space for it. Weighing in at around 700 g total, these stalks strike a sweet spot: hefty enough to feel substantial, yet light enough that they don’t become a burden on my already chunky R12 wheelbase (7.5kg + 4kg truck wheel). With dimensions roughly 411 × 127 × 152 mm, there’s ample room for the full sweep of real-world stalk arcs. Whether you’re threading tight turns in ETS2 or blasting down virtual motorways, the stalks’ surety and precision meant that my young petrolhead padawan wasn’t unintentionally turning on his windscreen wipers all the time. Never a good look for one’s eventual P-plater exam. Functions Overview Boasting 28 individual programmable switches, the Multi-function Stalks stand ready to cover everything from wipers and *********** to those exhaust brake toggles you didn’t know you needed. Each stalk houses its own bank of micro-switches that register crisp, definitive clicks, which is a far cry from mushy, off-brand button trays. The wiper lever not only changes wipe speeds but also features a momentary “wipe-back” click to clear condensation, replicating that quick-fix solution we all spam instead of…just picking a bloody speed. Meanwhile, the headlight stalk toggles between low beam, high beam, and fogger duties with reassuring detents that clearly signal position changes. With the latter function, I taught my boy the quick headlight flick to oncoming traffic. You know—the ol’ “slow your roll, Speed Racer, the radar cops are just down the hill behind me” warning. Important tips that might not be on the exam. Much like the dedicated wipers stalk, you’re getting authentic turn signals with auto-cancelling. After changing lanes in ETS2, the stalk springs back to its neutral position automatically, just as real-world drivers expect. This ensured he wouldn’t have a senior moment 50 years before his time—that “used my blinker to get out of the driveway and it’s still on 20 minutes later” special. Euro Truck Sim 2 Integration Setting things up to be just so is a mission, despite the pain-free look of the Pit House software GUI. There’s just a tonne of stuff to hook into input bindings, so there’s really no escaping it until a decent Settings Import file appears online (and by the time I publish this, there may well be one floating around). That being said, everything works as smoothly as a fresh set of Michelin rubber once you put the effort in. I also have to say that including The Heir to My Throne of Games in this process was the perfect excuse to explain each and every function on a “real car’s” stalks. Though I did skip past the advanced (and potentially dangerous) stuff like Cruise Control functions. If he’s anything like teenage me, he’ll misuse the hell out of that. At the end of the day, he and I couldn’t be happier with what the Moza Multi-function Stalks deliver. As an avid sim racer/trucker, I definitely thought this novel peripheral shifted my experiences into a broader lane of automotive immersion. The robust build quality, combined with 28 programmable switches and auto-cancelling turn signals, should ensure I’ll never fumble a lane change or wash my windscreen at the wrong time while long-hauling across Scandinavia in ETS2 or rebelling on Route 66 in ATS. As for my son’s instruction on the virtual streets of London, I believe the stalks’ robust, near-life build quality and tactile feel were just the thing to give him some much needed confidence. Possibly too much, however—he’s now asked if Moza does a handbrake attachment. I suspect the request is less about him perfecting his reverse parking technique and more about “fanging 180s faster.” In short, I believe I'm creating a monster.

IO Interactive has officially unveiled its upcoming James Bond game, now titled 007 First Light. [Hidden Content] The game was initially announced way back in 2020 as Project 007, a collaboration between IO, MGM (now Amazon MGM Studios), EON Productions and Delphi. Details were slim at the time of the initial announcement but now we’ve been given more including a new trailer and release window. According to IO Interactive, here’s what the game is about: This unique, standalone original story has been created by the passionate development team at IO Interactive. In 007 First Light, players will step into the shoes of a young Bond, a promising yet rebellious Royal Navy air crewman who is recruited into MI6. His sharp instincts and heroism in combat propel him into the agency’s rigorous training program for the once revered, and newly resurrected, elite 00 section. The game will be a third-person action-adventure title that “blends IO Interactive’s signature stealth and action gameplay mechanics with the world of Bond and MI6.” [Hidden Content] 007 First Light Alongside playing as Bond, you’ll see familiar faces to the franchise, M, Q and Moneypenny. There are also new characters such as Bond’s mentor John Greenway, the mysterious Isola plus a whole cast of villains to foil. “With 25 years of experience in creating captivating action-adventure games with the HITMAN franchise, our studio has been energized with this monumental opportunity in harnessing that expertise in bringing 007 back to video games,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive. “We’re pouring our energy and passion for the franchise into creating a cinematic adventure that pushes the boundaries of what a James Bond game can be, while telling a fresh, new story. We can’t wait for players and fans to discover an experience tailor-made for them.” [Hidden Content] 007 First Light is launching in 2026 for Xbox Series X & S, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC (Steam and Epic Games).

Tenna's game show is a wild ride in Deltarune Chapter 3. While it's mostly listening to Tenna show off his showtime personality, you'll spend a good chunk of time playing his minigames and even answering some quiz questions. While some questions are simple, others are very difficult to remember, especially if you've been speedrunning the game's dialogue or haven't played earlier chapters recently. Let's take a look at every quiz answer in Deltarune Chapter 3. All Deltarune Chapter 3 quiz answers Below is a complete list of every quiz question and answer you'll encounter in Deltarune Chapter 3's first Tenna game show round: QuestionAnswerWhat time is it right now?TV-Thirty!

Remember how your original design looks and pick whichever option is inaccurate. If it's accurate, pick the last option!What's the name of this awful guy?PippinsWhat was Asriel's favorite character in Smashing Fighters?Sword Magician During the first round of the game show, you'll encounter nine quiz questions across three instances. The first two sets reward you with Qs you use to fix a sphinx, who'll give you one final set before clearing away some nearby trees. You'll need this path to obtain one of the round's keys. Fortunately, you'll get this interaction regardless of how many answers you get correct. What do correct quiz answers do in Deltarune? Answering every quiz question correctly is the key to maximizing your points and earning an S-rank in each of Tenna's game show rounds. The points vary depending on whether you, Susie, and Ralsei get the same answers each round. Here's the point breakdown, depending on how many questions you answer correctly: Zero or one correct: 0 pointsTwo correct: 150 pointsThree correct: 300 points Screenshot by Destructoid The exception to this is if you initially pick an answer and then swap it at the last second. Susie and Ralsei won't be able to swap their answers in time, resulting in each of you having different responses that impact your score. For example, if you only get one question right but they manage to guess an extra one correctly, you can end up with 25 bonus points instead of 0. Getting S-rank scores during Chapter 3 is difficult. In many cases, these points can be the difference between landing an A-rank and getting a bump up to S. Reaching S-rank scores each round gives you access to a special backroom after your first round's over, setting you up to pursue Deltarune Chapter 3's secret boss. Since Susie and Ralsei will usually follow your lead, you'll need to make sure you answer quickly so they have time to respond before the timer ends.

Gearbox Software is giving away Borderlands 2 for free on Steam, but some fans are warning others to stay away from the series due to a recent controversy surrounding its terms of service. The studio behind the looter-shooter series surprised PC gamers with the free offer today, allowing all Steam users to add the sequel to their libraries for free. It’s a freebie that grants access to the 2012 title at no extra cost, but as many share their excitement online, Borderlands 2 Steam reviews are telling a different story. While the All Reviews section boasts a “Very Positive” rating on Steam with more than 287,000 user reviews, the more than 3,300 Recent Reviews have the second Borderlands game’s reactions labeled “Mostly Negative.” The downward trend began around May 20, 2025, with a particularly large movement of negative responses filling its reviews section today. This spike in negative Borderlands 2 reviews comes not from a gameplay update or troubled servers but instead key changes Gearbox parent company Take-Two Interactive made to its Terms of Service in February of this year. Players are using their reviews to point to a few topics, including concerns the end-user license agreement (EULA) condemns the use of mods, cheats, and VPNs. However, the primary concern being echoed across social media channels relates to fears Take-Two, 2K Games, and Gearbox are harvesting data and private information. “One of the best games ever made. I cannot recommend it to anyone right now due to the publisher adding spyware into an updated EULA that you have to accept to launch it,” one popular review from Steam user RyeTheTactician says. “It's called forced arbitration and it's one of the scummiest things shady people want to normalize. I will not change it to a positive review until this is fixed, too bad, I had fun will all the Borderlands games in multiple devices, but will probably not play this or [Borderlands 4] for a long time.” Another complaint working its way to the top of the conversation involves the wider idea of a publisher altering the terms of service for a game that launched nearly 13 years ago. Some have gone as far as to ask for refund options if they wish to decline the updated document's conditions. Others are also highlighting Borderlands 2’s status as a relatively casual video game with a focus on single-player and co-op experience. The idea is that, without a substantial, competitive multiplayer component, there should be no reason for Take-Two to fear how cheaters may impact the experience of the average Borderlands player. People are review-bombing the Borderlands games because Gearbox/2K made EULA changes Looks like people are review bombing the entire **Borderlands** series because Gearbox/2K made EULA changes that can apparently gain root-level access to your machine under the guise of… [Hidden Content] — Pirat_Nation (@Pirat_Nation) May 20, 2025 Take-Two’s terms of service update can be found when booting up other 2K titles, including the original Borderlands and Borderlands 3, which are currently on ***** for $9.89 and $3.99, respectively, on Steam. Each title has received a different level of review bombing, with nearly all users pointing to the EULA as the cause behind their freshly added thumbs-down rating. There’s even a specific list of grievances being copy-pasted across the Steam reviews section for each game, which includes concerns that Take-Two is taking advantage of sensitive information such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, billing details, phone numbers, and more. “Changing the ToS and turning games into spyware and then offering the game for free in order to then steal data from unknowing people is pretty bold,” Steam user =SilvioHammer= alleges. Many have used their reviews to specifically call out Gearbox boss ****** Pitchford, who attempted to address privacy fears with a post on X/Twitter last week. When one fan said the EULA update had “essentially turned every Borderlands game into spyware with access to all of our information,” Pitchford assured PC fans that there are no software-level changes to the Borderlands games that should have players worried about spyware. “Nothing has or will change about the software,” Pitchford said at the time. “I think the publisher legal team is covering their bases, but that has nothing to do with what we’re doing. I cannot change the EULA - that’s decided at the publisher level. But I can assure that there is no spyware in the software.” Yeah - humans are involved. It sucks to get brigaded when we’re over here making good games. Everyone should make their own decisions, though, so if running a protest because of fear over some lawyers covering their butts, I guess that’s the world we have to live in. — ****** Pitchford (@DuvalMagic) May 31, 2025 Pitchford's comments have been backed by other players who feel the reaction to the Take-Two's changes is a bit overblown. This includes clarification from some who say the EULA has gone largely unchanged for years, going as far as to say previous versions of the document already included several of the conditions players are voicing concern about now. It's unclear how the significant the February changes to the terms of service were, but overreaction or not, it's clear a vocal portion of the Borderlands community is no longer happy with what the agreement entails. "People are overreacting for sure," one Reddit comment says. "The EULA is hardly any different than the one before it all the way back in 2018. People are just freaking out now because some clickbaiting content creator told them to." It’s currently unclear if Take-Two will update its terms of service in any way that could alleviate privacy concerns or the criticism related to mod support. For those who pick up Borderlands 2, which is available to own for free until June 8 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET, the terms of service agreement in question pops up when you boot up the game for the first time. Those who decline it can continue to enjoy the experience but only while playing offline. The updated terms of service will likely need to be accepted in order to play Gearbox’s Borderlands 4 online as well. It’s set to launch September 12, 2025, for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S. A Nintendo Switch 2 version will launch at a later date.

In September 2021, a massive game list leak from NVIDIA revealed tons of unannounced game projects, and after the announcement of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles at Sony's State of Play, only one Square Enix game on that leaked list that has not yet been announced. The leak was caused by a flaw with GeForce Now, which exposed NVIDIA's database, and fans have speculated about all the titles on the list since then. Most have either been announced or already released, like the Chrono Cross Remaster, the PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Gears of War: E-Day. View the full article
