More and more “retail” is seeping into World of Warcraft: Classic. With Wrath of the Lich King, some raid mechanics are also coming to the “old” game.
“Wrath of the Lich King Classic” will celebrate its release soon, but not all the mechanics from back then will come unchanged into the game. One of the biggest changes concerns the dungeon finder, which will not exist in its original form. But Blizzard is also changing some important things about raids, inspired mainly by modern “retail” WoW, as these have proven effective.
What exactly will be changed? Mainly three major changes will be introduced in WotLK Classic that did not exist back then.
Ensuring buff fairness: In the original Wrath of the Lich King, it was possible to stack buffs and strengthening effects in one specialization, then switch specialization thanks to “Dual Spec” and maintain some of the strong effects from the other specialization. This was considered a bug back then and will now be removed. When you switch specialization, strengthening effects will disappear (or be massively diminished) that logically could not be in the group.
Reset of long cooldowns: In modern World of Warcraft, after a boss fight – for example, after a wipe – the particularly long cooldowns are reset, so you can start the next attempt with full strength. This will be adopted in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. If you die, then the cooldowns of almost all abilities with more than 2 minutes cooldown will be reset. Some exceptions to this are, for example, reincarnation, ritual of doom, astral recall, or lay on hands.
Exhaustion after Berserk: If a character was affected by Berserk or Heroism, they will then have a debuff, preventing them from benefiting from the effect again for a while. This aims to prevent characters from simply being revived multiple times in battle to benefit from several Berserk effects consecutively.
Why is Blizzard doing this? The main reason for the changes to the cooldowns stems from negative experiences in the past. Some bosses require that as many cooldowns as possible are ready to make a meaningful attempt. Back then, it led to frustration and fatigue if you had to take a forced break of several minutes after an attempt before the next try. Since this can happen dozens of times in one raid night, Blizzard wanted to change it.
The removal of buffs from specializations that are currently inactive was already established as a bug back then and could not just be easily fixed. It seems also reasonable to eliminate this mistake promptly this time.
What do you think of these adjustments? Good and sensible? Or annoying retail stuff that is absolutely unnecessary?

The new fighting game MultiVersus started Season 1 on August 15. It features comprehensive changes for fighters and the combat system, a new Battle Pass, and a lot of Cosmetics. Additionally, 2 more fighters have been announced for the season. Highlights of the patch notes can be found on MeinMMO.
With MultiVersus, a new free-to-play fighting game recently launched, which celebrated great success at release. Over 10 million players have already been reported, and there was plenty of positive feedback on the colorful brawler.
The service game aims to remain exciting over a season system, bringing new fighters, arenas, and rewards, as well as balance adjustments.
The first season is now online. While it doesn’t bring new fighters at launch, it addresses several balance issues and bugs in the game. MeinMMO shows you the essentials in the overview.
We have included a fast-paced gameplay trailer for you here:

Balance Changes: Perks, Fighters, Gameplay
Balance: Character
+ = Buff – = Nerf ~ = Change
Arya
The goal of these changes was to make Arya’s combos be more consistent and successful at lower skill levels.
+ Air/Ground Up Special – Hitting a fighter will now more accurately launch them at an angle to allow follow-ups for Arya
+ Air Up Attack – The first hit will now more accurately combo into the second hit.
+ Neutral Air Attack – Now has earlier branching on hit.
+ Ground Side Attack – Arya will retain velocity on first hit of side attack.

Batman

Increased the overshooting distance when grappling to an ally.
Fixed Batman grapple failing at short distances under high latency
– Ground Side Attack – First hit added 3 frames of whiff recovery.
– Air/Ground Neutral Attack (coming in patch 2): Batarang pick up will now return 9.45s of its cooldown down from 11.55s. This change helps create a window from when the batarang is used for the opponent to react. With perks like Coffeezilla causing this cooldown to be even shorter, we felt this change was necessary to create counterplay against the batarang.
Bugs Bunny
Bugs Bunny is a bit too safe in everything he does. We’ve given him some additional whiff punish windows to help address this.
~ Air Up Special – Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn two rockets.
~ Air Side Special – Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn two rockets.

Finn
Fighting against Finn felt too difficult as Finn felt a bit too safe and could throw out attacks without much fear of a punish due to how quickly he recovered. Hurt/Hit box foundational updates are coming soon but will not be in this patch.
– Passive – Attacks affected by Attack Decay no longer spawn coins
Finn now spawns with 100 gold instead of 200
+ Air Down Special – Fixed an issue where the gem required 200 gold to spawn but only cost 100 to spawn. Gem now requires and costs 100
– Air Side Special – Added additional whiff recovery.
– Ground/Air Up Special – Reduced the strength of the vacuum effect on the backpack
Weaker hits of the backpack will no longer “overwrite” stronger knockbacks from other attacks

– Ground Side Attack – Increased whiff recovery for the first hit.

Full power tornado has a 1.5 second duration and receives an additional 1 second duration after passing an ally.
On cooldown, tornado has a 0.25 second duration and does not gain additional duration by passing an ally.
+ Ground Up Attack – Now a two-hit attack. The early hit combos into the sandwich clap
Tom And Jerry
+ Tom And Jerry – Dynamite now applies projectile perk effects.

MultiVersus has had a successful run since release and aims to deliver exciting content in Season 1. Although no new fighters are available at launch, there is the prospect of 4 new characters in the coming weeks.
The British Twitch streamer SVB is considered an excellent player in Overwatch and has earned a good reputation in the community of Blizzard’s shooter. However, an internet troll wanted to destroy this reputation. He claimed that the Twitch streamer had demanded nude pictures from underage girls. The streamer says that people immediately reacted with outrage online, even though the accusations were completely unfounded.
Where did the information come from? The Overwatch streamer SVB explains in a YouTube video the difficult situation he was in for several hours in recent days. The video is titled: “An internet prank almost ruined my life. (via youtube)”
Troll impersonates a 17-year-old girl, accuses Twitch streamer
These were the accusations: The streamer says that a Twitter account named “Niaplaysow” confronted him on Thursday, August 11, with serious allegations. The Twitter account pretended to be a black 17-year-old girl. The account accused SVB of:
“grooming” underage girls, seeking contact with them to later entice them into sexual acts
requesting nude pictures from underage girls
Claiming that he demanded these pictures from her
To give more weight to these accusations, the troll forged screenshots of Discord messages.
These were the reactions: The Twitch streamer says that many people tried to “cancel” him, even though he loathes the term.
Many people immediately believed the accusations. They called me a pedophile and labeled me with things I don’t even want to repeat.
SVG
Troll says: He just wanted to show how easy it is to “cancel” someone
This is how the situation unraveled: Only a few hours after this shitstorm, an account posted admitting that he was behind the accusations:
Well played everyone. It was just a fake. I’m Nia. I just wanted to prove how easy it is to cancel someone and how embarrassing the community is. Thank you for all the nice comments.
The Internet Troll
According to SVB, people told him that the troll was a 14-year-old boy. The streamer says:
This person executed their prank and then deleted all social media accounts to never be seen again, thus escaping all consequences for their actions.
SVB
In a Twitch clip, you can see how the streamer reacted when he first saw the allegations against him:

Streamer does not want to undermine the credibility of real women
This is what SVB says: He finds the situation extremely uncomfortable. He wants to make it clear that his case should not be used as an example to dismiss such accusations as false:
I want to make one thing clear: Please do not use what happened to me as an excuse to undermine or question the credibility of real victims of grooming or sexual assault. I do not want this to be my legacy.
SVB
He says: Real women would almost never lie about such things. Because for them, it is difficult to come forward with such allegations.
But in his case, it was not a real woman, but a fake account.
What makes SVB sad is that no one really took the effort to question whether the accusations came from a fake account or not.

Today, on August 16, the Spotlight Hour with Wattzapf begins in Pokémon GO. We will show you what bonus there is and whether you can catch Wattzapf as a Shiny. This way, you are well prepared for the event.
What kind of event is this? Spotlight Hours are events that recur every week at the same time in Pokémon GO. Every Tuesday evening, a Pokémon is in focus and appears more frequently in the wild. Additionally, there is a bonus that aims to make participation even more appealing.
Today, you will encounter Wattzapf at the event. A Bug/Electric-type Pokémon from the fifth generation that can evolve into Voltula.
Spotlight Hour on August 16 – Start, Bonuses, Shiny
When does the Spotlight Hour start? As you know from these events, the start is at 6:00 PM German time. An hour later, at 7:00 PM, the event will be over again.
What bonuses are there? It is typical for Spotlight Hours that the focus Pokémon appears almost everywhere in the wild. So if you are outside, Wattzapf will cross your path everywhere. If you use incense, you will get even more encounters with the little Electric Bug.
During the Spotlight Hour today, you can expect many candies
In addition, you will receive double the amount of candies for catching Pokémon. Keep in mind that this bonus affects all catches. If you catch a legendary Pokémon during the Spotlight Hour, you will also receive double candies for that.
Is there a Shiny Wattzapf? No, so far you cannot catch Shiny Wattzapf in Pokémon GO.
Who benefits from the Spotlight Hour with Wattzapf?
What you need to know: Those who enjoy playing PvP against other trainers might find some benefit from today’s Spotlight Hour. Because Wattzapf’s evolution, Voltula, is a strong choice in the Super League and Hyper League. It is almost at the top of the best attackers.
Additionally, the candy bonus can be very strong in combination with raids and also Wattzapf. Unfortunately, there is no major motivation for Shiny hunters today.
The big Esport tournament The International is one of the highlights of the year for many players of Dota 2 (Steam). However, many fans who wanted to watch the event live in Singapore came away empty-handed. Scalpers bought up the tickets and are now selling them at extremely high prices.
This is The International: The Dota 2 tournament first took place in 2011 and has since become one of the largest Esport events of the year. The best DOTA 2 teams in the world compete against each other to secure the world championship and often hefty prize money.
The International 2021 took place in Romania and the prize pool was over 40 million dollars. This year, the organizer Valve, the Esport teams, and the fans are heading to Singapore.
To see the event live on site, some fans had to dig deep into their pockets:
For those wanting to see all playoffs live, about $254 (63 $ per day) had to be paid.
For those wanting to experience the final on top of that, an additional $360 had to be laid down for a ticket.
On top of that were the costs for travel to Singapore, accommodation, and meals. But even for those willing to spend that much, ticket sales became a major disappointment.
“Not a chance for a ticket”
Here’s the problem: The sale of the coveted tickets for The International 2022 began on August 13 and ended just a few minutes after the start. A good portion of the tickets, however, went not to interested fans, but to scalpers and appeared shortly afterward on resale sites like Carousell.
The prices for individual tickets go up to $10,000.
The prices for individual tickets skyrocketed and were sometimes 25 times higher than the original prices. Especially the coveted access to the finale of the E-Sport highlight was sold for a lot of money, with prices reaching up to $10,000 per ticket.
Frustrated fans expressed their anger on Reddit and social media:
“I’m really disappointed. This was the International that was closest to Australia so far.” – juggernautomnislash
“A queue of 2,800. Click on October 22, then select 2 tickets. 3 seconds later it was sold out.” – erickchoiii
“Screw that. I may be from Singapore, but I’m not going to crawl to the scalpers for this stuff.” – mantism

An alleged email from a scalper who managed to get 60 tickets and is selling them for $1,000 each.
Some users mentioned that they wanted to travel with friends and only one or two people from the group could get a ticket. Others had already booked their flights and then came away empty-handed during the sale.
The ticket sale for The International thus joins the now long list of scalping incidents within gaming. Besides the PS5 and new RTX graphics cards, which were massively bought out by bots during their release and sold on eBay, various collector’s editions of popular games like Elden Ring, FFXIV: Endwalker, or Horizon Forbidden West also fell victim to scalpers.
Does anyone of you perhaps have an interest in seeing The International live in Singapore? Did you have any luck with a ticket? Let us know in the comments.

The start date of Season 27 in Diablo 3 is known. The new chapter starts later this month. We show you the seasonal theme, the starter sets, and the rewards of the new season.
When does it start? Season 27 starts on August 26, 2022 and is called “Light’s Calling”. That is less than a week after the end of Season 26.
As usual, it starts at 5:00 PM German time on PC for you. Console players usually have to wait longer and can only start at night. August 26 is a Friday – the classic weekday that Blizzard times such launch dates to.
Below, we show you what content Season 27 brings.
Season 27 seasonal theme
This is the theme: In Season 27, you can find the consumables “Angelic Crucibles”. They can drop anywhere after you reach level 70. If you use a Crucible on a legendary item, it randomly gains one of three class-specific powers. It then becomes a “Sanctified Item”.
The Angelic Crucibles can only drop in seasonal play and cannot be transferred to non-seasonal play.
You can create as many Sanctified Items as you want – however, you can only have one Sanctified Item equipped at a time.
With another Angelic Crucible, you can reroll the Sanctified Items.
Only legendary items from level 70 onwards can be upgraded – crafted items do not work.
Your followers like the Templar cannot be equipped with Sanctified Items.
Due to the PTR tests and feedback, the drop chances of the Angelic Crucibles have been doubled.
What is this? When you complete chapters 2, 3, and 4 in the seasonal journey of Season 27, you will receive set pieces from Haedrig’s Gift with which you can complete a class set. Since you can approach the seasonal journey right at the beginning with level 70, these gifts are also called starter sets.
In each season, the set you receive for which class from the gifts changes. In S27, the following sets are available from Haedrig’s Gift:
This is what the starter sets of Season 27 look like when worn by the corresponding classes
Cosmetic rewards in S27
You can unlock: Since Season 17, you can earn both old cosmetic items and new cosmetic items each season. This is for players who have not unlocked the rewards in previous years.
In Season 27, you will receive rewards from Season 15:
The chest and gloves of the Conqueror set
Portrait frame
The companion Belphegor (a kind of walking demon hand)
New items from Season 27 are:
The companion Corvus Cadaverous
The portrait Laurels of Knowledge
We show you the new items here in the picture:
How do you like the outlook for Season 27 in Diablo 3? Do you find the content successful and do you want to unlock the seasonal journey to earn the ‘sweet’ companion? Or was Blizzard unable to impress you this time with the content? Please share your opinion on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss it with other players.

Blizzard has banned Twitch streamer Asmongold in World of Warcraft for a long time. The streamer knows exactly why this has happened.
Every now and then there are ban waves in World of Warcraft, during which numerous players are suspended. Most often, it affects scammers, unfriendly players who tend to insult, or those who offer game boosting for real money.
Now the biggest Twitch streamer of WoW has been caught: Asmongold has been banned in World of Warcraft.
What kind of ban is this? In his stream, Asmongold explained that he has been banned from World of Warcraft until September 13, 2022 – exactly 30 days. According to an email from Blizzard that Asmongold reads during the stream, he was suspended due to involvement in “Real Money Trading” (RMT) – that is, paying for or executing services in the game for real money.
Such RMT services are prohibited – unlike boosting for gold, which is allowed.
Recommended editorial content
At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

Read more about our privacy policy.
What does Asmongold say about it? He seems quite relaxed and is very sure that his account will be unlocked again. In the stream, he emphasizes multiple times that the accusations against him are quite absurd. He does “meme” often, but has never been involved in RMT services.
In fact, he even jokes about the whole thing:
I want to thank you, Blizzard. Thank you for that. This is amazing clickbait that I can use on YouTube. You obviously messed up and didn’t actually want to ban me, but my editors will now take advantage of this and exploit it for views on YouTube. Just like I’m doing right now.
Later, Asmongold also reads the email from Blizzard. It states:
This account has been suspended because it promoted or was actively involved in the purchase of PvP or PvE services or achievements for real money.
Asmongold grins quite broadly while reading the email, quoting that they “did not take this decision lightly” and that it was “only after reviewing the evidence” that it happened. In the stream, he sarcastically mocks this:
Can you imagine? ‘All the evidence?’ I’m sure they have, um… I’m sure they have a lot of evidence. Absolutely.
After that, he gets a little more serious and speaks clearly:
I do not engage in RMT. I know I’ve made a lot of jokes – but I do not and have never engaged in RMT. That did not happen and there is no reason why I should do that.
His argument continues that he would never have had to pay real money to expose himself to such danger – he earns so well that he could simply have bought WoW tokens to convert them into gold and then legally pay for such services with gold, if it had been necessary.
Asmongold’s biggest concern seems to be that he will lose his Gladiator mount, which he earned over many nights. Asmongold is considered one of the biggest mount collectors in World of Warcraft and his collection of mounts is something he is visibly proud of. It is always a major topic in his stream.
How likely is that? Although Asmongold continues to divide the community and many hope that his ban will remain, that seems rather unlikely. In the stream, Asmongold already showed the reactions of some experienced PvP players in World of Warcraft who were also wrongfully banned and whose bans have already been lifted.
Asmongold’s argument that he is probably the last one who would ever have to engage in “RMT” sounds plausible – as one of the biggest streamers with numerous subscribers, multiple advertising contracts, and even his own computer company, he would hardly be reliant on such deals. After all, he earns approximately $60,000 a month just from his Twitch subscriptions – plus advertising revenue and donations.
It can therefore be assumed that Asmongold will regain access to his WoW account in the coming days, unless it turns out that he has been involved in real money deals.
Update 10:00 AM: The ban has now been lifted and Asmongold has regained access to his account in World of Warcraft.

In the MMORPG Lost Ark, you can use one of the Powerpass features. You can activate it directly in the character overview if you meet the requirements. What this is and how it works, we explain to you here at MeinMMO.
What is a Powerpass? The Power passes in Lost Ark are a feature designed to facilitate your entry into the endgame.
These passes ensure that your second and third characters reach the endgame of Lost Ark faster, so you don’t have to struggle forever with the leveling phase of the MMORPG.
Update: We updated this article on August 16, 2022, and brought it to a current information status. Additionally, links have been added and formulations adjusted, as well as all current information on the Punika Pass and the new shop included.
There are various Power passes that you can activate as soon as you reach a certain point in the game. For example, if you have been to level 50 once and completed the story of Vern, you will receive one of the passes as a gift. Once you have used this one, you will get another one for free.
Current Event: Additionally, thanks to the Express Event, there is currently a new Power Pass in the game that brings your character to the level of Punika, which is Gearscore 1,302. To get it, you must have completed the continent Punika with another character. You have until the September update, then the free pass will disappear.
The previous event, where you could obtain a Feiton Pass that brought you to Gearscore 960, is no longer in the game. If you were unable to use it, you will not get another opportunity. You would now have to purchase one in the shop.

The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
How does it work?
What does a Powerpass give you? If you activate a Powerpass on one of your characters, he immediately jumps to the specified level and receives equipment corresponding to his level. You can then jump directly into the endgame content with a newly created character.
Additionally, you will have completed the story up to a certain point. Nothing holds you back from getting started right away. You will also receive cosmetic items if you play a kind of additional tutorial, which you can skip.
If you use the Vern Power Pass, your character reaches level 50 and receives equipment with Gearscore 302 for free
The Rohendel Power Pass boosts your character to Gearscore 600 and completes the story of Rohendel
If you use the Yorn Power Pass, your character reaches Gearscore 802 and has completed the island of the dwarves in Yorn and can set off to Feiton
The Feiton Power Pass also brings your character to level 50 and equips him with Gearscore 960
The Punika Power Pass sets your character to level 50 and grants him equipment of level 1,302
How does it work? You can only use a free Powerpass after completing the story up to the point of the pass with another character. Therefore, many are initially disappointed when they click on the big, glowing Power button in the character menu. Exceptions are the passes that you can buy in the shop.
To ultimately be able to use the first Powerpass, you need to do the following:
Play a character far enough to complete the quest “Ealyn’s Gift”
This quest ends the story of the Vern continent, so you can only use the pass afterwards
You will then receive a Powerpass for your account
Now create a new character or select an existing one
Still in the character selection, press the large button “Powerpass”
Now confirm the process and your character is at the specified level and equipped accordingly
How do you get the Powerpass? The Power passes have been available for purchase in Lost Ark since July 20. You do not need any prerequisites for this. The purchased passes can be used immediately, and you can start directly with a character in the endgame in the MMORPG. Each tier of the passes costs 1,100 royal crystals.
If you start from scratch, the Vern Pass costs 1,100 crystals and the Punika Pass 5,500. However, if you already have a character in Rohendel and buy the Punika Pass, it will only cost you 3,300 crystals, as you have already completed Vern and Rohendel.
Apart from the purchase method, you will receive a Vern Pass for free as soon as you complete the story of Vern with a character. If you use this, you will receive a second Vern Pass as a gift.
In the currently ongoing Hyper Express Event, you can also snag a free Punika Pass until September 28, but only if you already have a character in Punika on your account.
How long does it take you to reach level 50? However, it is questionable whether you really need to pay attention to the Powerpass as a new player. Because when you stumble around the world inexperienced, it takes quite a while until you can complete the story.
Experienced players, however, have already proven that they can complete the main story of the game in about two days. Here, the Powerpass is quite close at hand.
However, these players usually already know how the characters feel in the endgame. The Powerpass thus plays to the advantage of more experienced players.
What do you think? What level are you currently at in Lost Ark? What is your class and which class do you want to use a Powerpass on? Feel free to write it in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Your computer has been having problems for a while and you’re afraid your graphics card might soon fail? MeinMMO presents signs that indicate your GPU might be on the verge of breaking down.
When hardware breaks down, it’s always very annoying. But it becomes even more frustrating and truly expensive when the graphics card in your computer gives up the ghost. Because besides the processor, you often pay the most for the graphics card.
MeinMMO explains to you what signs indicate a faulty graphics card. However, please keep in mind that you should always check your entire PC before you (in the worst case) buy an expensive new graphics card.
1. Graphic bugs and glitches that get worse
Graphic errors that often occur are a good indicator of a faulty graphics card. This is because the graphics card processes textures and data so you can see something on your monitor.
Graphic problems especially occur in games and manifest as poorly loaded textures, screen errors, tearing, or random artifacts that appear on screen during gameplay. Sometimes these disturbances can also appear outside of games in the menus of your operating system.
If you can rule out a Windows update or a new graphics driver as the cause of the problems, you can be sure that something is wrong with your graphics card. If you can reproduce the problems with the same graphics card on another system, it becomes even easier to identify the graphics card as the issue.
2. Strange noises from your fans
Are you currently gaming on your PC and the fans of your graphics card are making strange noises while gaming? This can also be an indication that everything is not right with your graphics card.
Broken or faulty fans may not necessarily be an absolute sign of a defective graphics card, but they can cause your graphics card to fail faster. If the fans can no longer cool the graphics card, eventually the graphics chip will overheat.
With small tools like HWMonitor, you can quickly check the temperature of the graphics card.
A YouTuber was able to significantly improve the cooling performance of his graphics card with little money:
If your PC crashes and restarts more often than usual, a faulty or damaged graphics card could also be the cause. Especially if your game regularly quits unexpectedly.
However, a crash can be caused by all sorts of things. It can also be due to bugs in the game or faulty software that you installed with an update. As a general rule, you should check other components as well.
4. Significantly lower framerate and severe framedrops
If the framerate regularly drops significantly during gaming or stays in a very low range (the game then “stutters” significantly), and your graphics card should normally handle the game without issues, then you should check your graphics card.
However, before you blame the graphics card, you should check other things first. Have you installed the latest driver or could your computer be suffering from overheating issues? You can quickly check the temperatures with tools like HWMonitor.
However, if the temperatures are within the normal range and you can rule out the issues otherwise, you should take a closer look at your graphics card.
5. Sudden and frequent bluescreens
Bluescreens occur when Windows detects an error in the system. This can be either an error in the data system (directly in Windows) or an error in the hardware – including the graphics card.
More articles about PC problems: A user also had problems with his gaming PC. He could only use his PC perfectly after discovering a problem that he initially hadn’t noticed. You can read the whole story here on MeinMMO:
On August 11, the new anime MMORPG Tower of Fantasy was released. Since that day, the game has conquered Twitch and is currently the most watched MMORPG. It even surpasses Fortnite. We at MeinMMO summarize.
What is Tower of Fantasy? The new anime MMORPG is a gacha title that was freshly released on August 11 in the West. The game undoubtedly takes the successful hit Genshin Impact as a model and aims to transform the gameplay into a true MMORPG.
This means that you share your game world with other players at all times and are accompanied by corresponding masses of fans in your gaming experience. You can do this not only in the game but also on Twitch. There, Tower of Fantasy is currently celebrating huge successes.
Tower of Fantasy is the largest MMORPG: Although there are no official player numbers yet for this anime success, the numbers on Twitch look promising for the title. Of course, interest in a game at launch is always slightly higher, yet the MMORPG holds its own well.
As of now, on August 15, it ranks 10th among the largest Twitch categories. This makes it not only the largest MMORPG ahead of World of Warcraft and Lost Ark, but it also surpasses all-time hits like Fortnite, CoD Warzone, and CS:GO.
Even the new cult game Cult of the Lamb cannot match the success of Tower of Fantasy.

The Twitch Top 10
Who is still ahead of the MMORPG? The undisputed number 1 on Twitch remains the “Just Chatting” category. According to sullygnome, 888,038 viewers have watched a total of 58 million hours in this category over the past seven days.
Next up are GTA 5, League of Legends, and Valorant, all of which are around 30 million viewed hours. Rust, Dota 2, Minecraft, and Apex lie between 15 and 22 million.
In 9th place, just before Tower of Fantasy, is the gambling category Slots. Although only 156,583 people watched here, they did so for a whopping 10 million hours.
Tower of Fantasy in numbers: Tower of Fantasy stands in 10th place, delivering impressive numbers. 38,776 streamers showcased the game on their channels over the past 7 days, with 276,098 viewers tuning in. Together they watched 89,824 million hours of the MMORPG.
This puts it just 20,000 hours ahead of Fortnite. However, it can beat competitors like Warzone and CS:GO by over a million hours.
Will it stay that way? That is rather unlikely. It is normal for new titles on Twitch to initially go through the roof. People want to check out the new game and get a sense of Tower of Fantasy. Perhaps they also play themselves and want to see what other players are doing.
It remains to be seen where Tower of Fantasy can position itself in the long run. What do you think of the title so far? Have you played it or watched it on Twitch? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.
Microsoft currently has to justify the purchase of Activision Blizzard in a court in Brazil. This involves questions of competition law. In this context, the Xbox parent company has commented on its console sales, and it turns out: The Xbox One had no chance against the PS4.
What were the sales figures for both consoles? Sony recently released final figures for PS4 console sales. The end of the lifecycle of the PlayStation console is now officially reached.
Sony reported 117.2 million PS4 sold (all models, via twitter.com)
Microsoft is withholding the number of units sold of their Xbox. However, they have commented in a report to a Brazilian court on how many units of the Xbox One were sold compared to the PS4.
The PS4 sold twice as strongly as the Xbox One
The report states: “Sony has surpassed Microsoft in terms of console sales, as they sold more than twice as many during the last generation as Xbox” (via gameluster.com).
Accordingly, less than 58.5 million Xbox One consoles were sold. This aligns with a previous report from “Ampere Analysis,” which came to around 51 million units (via ampereanalysis.com).
More about the battle of the two gaming giants before the Brazilian competition authorities can be found here:
The “console war” of the 8th generation between Sony and Microsoft clearly goes to PlayStation. This was not necessarily foreseeable before the launch of the consoles in November 2013. The PS3 and the Xbox 360 had a very close battle in the 7th generation:
Nintendo played no role in this console generation, by the way. It was the time of the Wii U, a hybrid console operated with a large handheld controller (released in 2012).
What happens next? Even in the current 9th console generation, analysts see PlayStation ahead again, but not with the significant lead of the last generation.
However, the gaming industry is currently at a crossroads, and both Sony and Microsoft stand for different strategies, which was less the case before. Roughly speaking, this means:
Xbox is pushing with its Game Pass and expanded compatibility into the market. PC and console are increasingly aligning, and it will soon be more a matter of choosing between controller/couch and mouse/keyboard/desk. They want to bring even large paid titles into the affordable Game Pass at launch.
Sony, on the other hand, wants to continue to protect its big games and score points with exclusivity at launch. They prefer to focus on free-to-play and service games to make their gaming offer more accessible. However, they are also reacting to aggressive competition and have significantly adjusted and expanded their PS Plus offering.
The next few years will show how the market decides. Currently, we are in a consolidation phase, and many studios are being acquired by the biggest players: Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft, Bungie by Sony.
In early July 2022, it was the biggest topic in gaming for a few days: Michael “shroud” Grzesiek (28) returns as a professional to eSports and wants to help the team “Sentinels” salvage a botched season in Valorant . But just a month later, it’s all over again.
What was all the hype about? On July 8, the Sentinels team released a short clip: shroud was making a cup of tea and announced, “I’m back, baby.”
The video garnered 7.3 million views and almost 250,000 likes on Twitter. It was a huge deal.
Shroud was supposed to help the organization “Sentinels” secure a playoff spot in North America, after a mixed season in Valorant.

Without professional games, the legend of shroud as “shooter god” on Twitch grows larger
Why was this so big? Shroud was previously a CS:GO professional, though not particularly illustrious; he switched to Twitch early on and became a professional streamer there.
On the streaming platform Twitch, it seemed as though he was a much better shooter player than most other Twitch streamers and average players. Thus, the legend of the “human aimbot” emerged: shroud was considered someone who could aim incredibly well and remained cool in every situation.
Valorant is a tactical shooter with distinct heroes, like Fade here:
Start video
Valorant introduces new agent Fade – Showcases her cool skills in the gameplay trailer
Over the years, shroud’s reputation as the “best shooter player ever” grew steadily. He played against “normal opponents,” not against professionals.
Overall, things went brilliantly for the Canadian: shroud became one of the biggest streamers on Twitch in the last 8 years and even made a fortune with a stint at Mixer.
Due to his excellent reputation, many were eager to see how the 28-year-old Canadian would perform in a “real professional team.”
Preparation was too short to compete with the top teams
How does shroud assess his performance? Shroud says he was about 50% of his top performance that he can deliver in Valorant. Because he lacked preparation time in the bootcamp. Had he gone through the full preparation, he would have likely performed better.
Overall, he was slightly dissatisfied with his performance in the last match:
I felt like I didn’t play as well as I can. I had a strong game two in the “best-of-three” series, but a pretty poor performance in the last round, for that I want to apologize.
shroud
Will shroud continue? In a stream, shroud said: “When the franchise league comes and if it is in LA, there’s a very good chance I’ll continue playing professional Valorant.”

He believes in his team: If they stick together and complete a bootcamp, they can be dangerous, he says.
It remains to be seen whether shroud can really make a breakthrough in the next season. It would be quite extraordinary: Because at 28, shroud is relatively old for a shooter professional and he lacks the constant training and competitive experience that players like Tenz (21) have already gained in recent months.
Riot Games has introduced the next new champion for League of Legends (LoL) . In a video, they showcased K’Sante: He is a tank for the top lane, expected to arrive at the end of 2022 when the preseason for the 2023 season begins. It sounds like LoL has drawn inspiration from “Monster Hunter”.
Where is the information from? On Friday, August 12, Riot Games released a video in which they highlighted “Champions and the 2023 Preseason”. There, Ryan “Reav3” Mireles lounged in the chair, Lead Producer for Gameplay at League of Legends. He had previously introduced the last champions, all of whom have now arrived in League of Legends (via youtube).
“The entire city is permanently impressed by him”
This is what LoL reveals about new champions: Mireles says:
“Throughout the year, a new tank from Shurima will be coming to the top lane. This champion brings a part of Shurima with him that we have not yet explored: The city of Nazumah.
Nazumah is an oasis city-state on the southern edge of the desert. And unlike the rest of Shurima, they are not followers of Azir.
In the rest of the country, people worship Azir – not in Nazumah.
Nazumah is located at the only water source for miles, and the people had to fight against giant monsters just to avoid dying of thirst. It was a hard struggle, but in the end, they conquered the oasis and built their society around it.”
New champ has special weapons: Ntofos
“Now, 500 years later, this new champion, along with the warriors of Nazumah, hunts precisely these monsters, and with the materials obtained, they improve their infrastructure and weapons.
He has even fought against one of the largest monsters in the world and made his unique Ntofos from its regenerating armor.
The hero created his new weapons from this monster.
Ntofos are gigantic, blunt weapons that can be used defensively. But he can break them at any time, releasing finely crafted blades that can tear apart any opponent in an instant. Shortly thereafter, the material returns to its blunt form, allowing him to beat you up to the hospital. It is, quite honestly, a real spectacle.
You don’t have to take my word for it alone. The entire city-state is basically permanently impressed by him. After all, he is K’Sante, the pride of Nazumah. That title must be earned.”
This is how LoL introduced the hero Bel’Veth:
Start video
LoL: Trailer shows the new jungle champion Bel’Veth in gameplay – mobile and deadly
How do you discuss the hero? The new hero, K’Sante, is hardly discussed in the League of Legends community: Other revelations from the video were considered more exciting, especially the changes to the jungle.
One of the few discussions revolves around the name of the hero: K’Sante: Because until now, an apostrophe always represented a Void monster, but K’Sante apparently has nothing to do with the Void. Thus, LoL breaks with its naming conventions (via reddit).
The tank certainly sounds like Riot Games has drawn heavily from the “Monster Hunter” series: A warrior who hunts monsters to craft new gear from their parts to hunt even bigger monsters is exactly what the game series is all about. Here in the West, the series is mainly known for “Monster Hunter World”.
Apparently, Riot plans a weapon swap for the hero from “blunt” to “sharp”, perhaps the weapons in “Normal Form” increase defensive values and then in “Sharp Form” enhance K’Sante’s offense. But we will surely learn much more about K’Sante after the Worlds.
LoL often has a balancing problem with new heroes:
In the European professional league LEC in League of Legends, the French team Vitality did not make it to the playoffs. With 4 consecutive losses, the Summer Split 2022 was running against the highly talented “super-team”. This marks the first time Luka “Perkz” Perković (23) misses the playoffs – the Croatian was even considered a candidate for MVP 2022. Before the decisive matches, the team had a 94.6% chance of making it to the playoffs.
This is the situation for Perkz, one of the best LoL players in Europe:
The Croatian Perkz was for years the driving force behind G2 Esports’s success as a mid-laner and ADC: He won 8 championships with G2 and finished second at the 2019 World Championship. After a lucrative stint in the USA, he returned to Europe in December 2021, aiming to build a “new team” to dominate the league.
At Team Vitality, he found an organization with a lot of money to assemble a strong team. They acquired some of the best players in Europe: Top-laner Alphari, jungler Selfmade, bot laner Carzzy – all great players.
When the strategy failed at first, they swapped out Selfmade and brought in players from South Korea and China. Now it seemed to work, before the decisive phase, week 8, Team Vitality had a 94% chance of making it to the playoffs – but then everything went wrong.
Team Vitality had a 94% chance of making it to the playoffs before the last week
This is how the season ended: Amazingly poorly. Until Friday, August 12, everything was going according to plan, as Team Vitality was securely positioned at 9-6 in the playoffs. Before the last week, Team Vitality had a 94.6% chance of making it to the playoffs; they only needed to win one of the last 3 league games.

But from Friday, August 12, they lost their last 4 games of the season in a row.
The last and decisive game on August 14, Team Vitality lost against Excel Esports. It was a tie-breaker for the 8th place in the league, the last playoff spot.
Particularly bitter for Perkz: Key to his defeat was Mikyx, his former supporter at G2. The 23-year-old Slovenian turned it around on Thresh and was able to lead his team to victory with good openings in fights.
An important team fight at 26 minutes went completely against Perkz and his team:

Perkz misses playoffs for the first time in his career
What makes this so tragic? This defeat came as a surprise to almost everyone because Team Vitality was actually solid before week 8: In weeks 6 and 7, the team had won 3 out of 4 games, including against G2 Esports.
At that time, Perkz was still considered a potential league MVP. In an interview, he stated that the last games had been clear victories, not even close. Perkz felt very good about the summer. (via inven).
But then they lost in succession against SK Gaming, Fnatic, and Rogue – slipping down the standings and losing the decisive tie-breaker.
This is the first time in Perkz’s career that he missed the playoffs, as Dotesports reports (via dotesports).
In LoL, the cult jungler Udyr is changing:

Perkz says: Performance was embarrassing, shocking, disappointing
How are the fans reacting? Even though Team Vitality is being criticized, many say that Perkz played excellently and deserved success. There are hopes that Perkz will come back again.
Last year, Perkz went to Worlds and G2 had a disastrous year – this year it’s exactly the opposite, a fan comments.
Success in LoL is hard to achieve – Even harder to maintain
What’s behind this: The example of Team Vitality shows that it is not enough to buy strong players together to achieve success. There can then be conflicts over who makes calls, which lane has higher priority, in which player the team funnels its resources.
Apparently, LoL teams need to grow, a hierarchy and harmony must form.
In any case, it seems difficult in LoL to stay consistently at the top: Even world champion teams like DWG KIA or FunPlus Phoenix, which seemed extremely strong at their time, have failed in the years following their total dominance when the meta changed or when players left the teams.
An example of why Perkz did not settle in the USA:

On the weekend, the Pokémon GO Community Day featuring Galar Zigzagoon took place. However, some trainers had requests for changes – how about you?
What kind of event was it? The Community Day with Galar Zigzagoon took place on Saturday, July 13th. There, you could secure the Pokémon of the day, but also grab some bonuses in terms of XP and Stardust.
To collect all of this, it was advantageous to play a large part of the event. However, the three hours of the event fell precisely during the Saturday lunchtime: The Community Day ran from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
And that didn’t make all trainers happy.
Players Suggest New Times for Community Day
What’s the problem? A trainer complained in the Pokémon GO subreddit that three hours is simply not enough for a Community “Day”. He caught over 60 Galar Zigzagoon, but only two were really good and all his Shinies were weak.
He believes a longer time window would be better – especially for players in rural areas with few stops or those who need to work during the event period.

In the comments of the post, players discussed another issue: the heat, which is sometimes very intense, especially during the midday hours.
“Where I live, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is the hottest part of the day, and we tell people to stay inside to avoid the heat. I liked it when it was 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and I could play for an hour in the morning before being roasted alive,” writes user “Siroet” (via reddit).
“Even the game advised me to stay indoors lol. My phone also shut down twice due to the heat. Particularly annoying when I wanted to catch my last possible Shiny,” writes another (via reddit).
“OMG the same for me. Plus, it’s lunchtime, so a double problem,” finds user susy_blue (via reddit).
“I’m in Los Angeles. Being outside at noon in August feels like dying” (via reddit).
In Germany, last Saturday, temperatures over 30 degrees were experienced, depending on where you were. Currently, it is very hot and dry in many places.
Furthermore, the “shortened” 3-hour window of the Community Day is not the first time it has been an issue. Although this event previously began with this duration, Pokémon GO introduced a 6-hour window during the pandemic – a period to which some trainers apparently got used, before it reverted to the 3-hour window in spring 2022.

Additionally, we want to know: How do you perceive the Community Day currently? Was the heat on Galar Zigzagoon day an issue for you? Did the Pokémon and the bonuses appeal to you, or would you prefer a different approach? Is the time during Community Day sufficient, or would you wish for more time?
In Destiny 2 the discussion about the status of the loot shooter keeps coming up. Many voices speak of a dead game when a new expansion appears, but is that really the case? Is Destiny 2 dead? A YouTuber knows the answer.
Which YouTuber are we talking about? It is about the American Destiny 2 expert and PvP enthusiast “Aztecross”. He has been involved with Destiny 1 and knows the loot shooter like the back of his hand. Therefore, it was time for him to address the recurring discussion – Is Destiny 2 a dead game?
Many players use the Steam player counts as evidence of the steadily growing disinterest in the shooter. However, Aztecross stepped back and looked at the situation from a broader angle. He even believes that Destiny can only grow.
The Steam player counts are not decisive
What speaks against the “dead game” status? Here are the following points Aztecross mentions to prove that Destiny 2 is still growing:
Since the release of Witch Queen, Destiny 2 has a total of 40 million viewed hours on Twitch.
The account numbers for Destiny 2 are steadily increasing
In April 2020, there were 25 million players.
In August 2022, the numbers grew to 40 million.
Daily, 800,000 – 1.2 million players log in to loot (via playertracker).
But above all, the Sony deal is an indicator that Bungie is not ready to bury their shooter brand. Such a huge sum is expected to be a good investment and will continue to generate revenue for the Japanese company in the future.
Aztecross believes the topic of Steam numbers can also be put to rest. Destiny 2 has a huge player base on consoles, which increased significantly with the next-gen variants. Therefore, Steam and generally PC players represent only a small fraction overall. With the advantages that PS5 and Xbox Series X now offer, more and more fans are transitioning to consoles.
Fewer hackers, smooth 60 FPS, FoV adjustments, and sharper graphics on consoles make it easier for fans to switch platforms. Especially since crossplay and cross-save even support players in this regard.
These criteria ensure that a large majority of players are active on consoles. According to Aztecross, Destiny 2 is therefore not dying, on the contrary – Destiny 2 continues to grow.
The magic of the loot shooter still works: Despite many negative opinions, such as neglecting well-known core PvE activities or the Crucible, many Guardians are still active. It is primarily the cinematic portrayal of the story, which leaves fans holding their breath in suspense.
Continuous adjustments to the meta as well as upcoming innovations in seasons or DLC are also reasons why players return and give the developer studio another chance.
With the release of Lightfall, Bungie will likely break records again, so stay tuned to see if Destiny 2 will survive the next year or not. What do you think? Do you believe that Destiny 2 is dying or is it just gossip? Let us know in the comments.

In the new MMORPG Tower of Fantasy, a lot of clicking is required. However, for PC players, there are 4 hotkeys that make life easier, which the game itself doesn’t tell you. We at MeinMMO will show them to you.
What is Tower of Fantasy? The anime MMORPG is a gacha game that has many parallels to the classic Genshin Impact. However, Tower of Fantasy aims to highlight the MMO aspect and focuses on many players and an open world.
The title was released on August 11 in the West and has since gained great popularity. However, the unconventional user interface of the MMORPG poses challenges for some users. There are many buttons that must be clicked explicitly and cannot be controlled with the keyboard. This is not exactly standard in the genre on PC.
The MMORPG has hidden hotkeys: In fact, you don’t have to click 4 of the buttons at all, but Tower of Fantasy simply doesn’t tell you this. There are a handful of hidden hotkeys in the game that simplify your life.
These are the 4 buttons in the upper right corner of the user interface. Specifically, they are gifts, journal, challenges, and the in-game shop. These are things you’ll click on more frequently.
Instead of clicking, you can also simply open them with Alt and the numbers 1 to 4. The game counts from left to right, so:
Gifts with Alt +1
Journal with Alt +2
Challenges with Alt +3
In-game shop with Alt +4

“This has changed my gaming experience”
How is the community reacting? A player on the Tower of Fantasy reddit accidentally discovered the hotkeys because his PC thought his Alt key was still pressed. He then shared his findings on reddit and is being celebrated for it by fans of the title.
They are thanking him in droves for the discovery and are happy that they no longer have to constantly move the mouse to the upper half of the screen.
One player even writes “Oh wow, this has changed my gaming experience” and receives a lot of support for it, some just thank him and others said they have already used other programs to remap these keys.
However, we want to warn you about the latter, as Tower of Fantasy, like almost all MMORPGs, prohibits the use of third-party software and you could therefore endanger your account.
Are you playing Tower of Fantasy yourself? Have the buttons in the upper right corner annoyed you as well? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO and share your opinion with us. We look forward to it.
Steam is known for having an incredible selection of various games and DLCs, but one feature has frustrated players until now. The launcher is now changing how you add free content to your library.
What is this feature? Steam has added a new button to free games and DLCs. This button allows you to add a free game or DLC directly to your library.
Until the introduction of the new button, you added a free game to your library by clicking “Start Game.” Steam would then immediately try to install the game in question.
Even more frustrating was acquiring free DLCs, as every newly added DLC would want to start the game.
Why has this been a problem? Even though you could abort the installation of a game or DLC initiated by the “Start Game” button, Steam’s process was considered annoying by players.
For example, reddit user u/SSlamMasterJ writes that this process from Steam was particularly frustrating when trying to redeem multiple DLCs (via reddit).
Also, u/TalenTaylor writes on reddit: “This would have been helpful a few weeks ago when I wanted to redeem some free DLCs from the ‘Monster Hunter’ store page. Redeeming them will start the game itself if it has already been downloaded.”
Overall, the old method did not receive positive feedback. u/homer_3 found the system to be “very annoying” (via reddit) and u/Hellknightx is surprised that it “took so long for them [Steam] to address it” (via reddit).
How are players reacting? Given the dissatisfaction with the old system, players are glad that the new button has been added.
Strict-Tomorrow via reddit: “This is great when a game has free DLCs to claim. Before this button, every DLC forced the game to start.” (1,500 upvotes)
Wanderson90 via reddit: “They finally understand their customer base.”
Starmosen via reddit: “This will be great for Warhammer 3, with all the DLCs they hopefully will add. It was a nightmare downloading that stuff before.”
n0stalghia via reddit: “Holy moly, people, the technology from 2010 is finally here.”
grün_meklar via reddit: “This has been needed for so long.”
maxell01x via reddit: “This is a very good feature for the mobile browser / Steam mobile app, as it was previously not possible to redeem a free game / DLC directly.”
While many see the change as a “Quality of Life” adjustment, there are also players who cannot understand the issue with the old system.
Reddit user u/TheWorldisFullofWar asks, for example: “Isn’t the start of the ‘installation process’ just a confirmation window that you can exit immediately?” (via reddit).
Also, u/ShadooTH also states on reddit that they cannot understand the problem: “I don’t think I’ve ever had this problem. I didn’t know it was such a big deal.”
What do you think of the new button? Do you believe the adjustment is sensible, or do you think the old system was not a problem? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO!
Later, the games will be offered at low costs on PS Plus or also on other platforms, for a sort of second spring, to generate additional revenue. This stands in contrast to Microsoft, aimed at making big games available directly at launch in their Xbox Game Pass.
Which PS exclusives are planning a Steam release? Next up are the Uncharted series games on Steam, which are celebrated by many PlayStation fans. A release in October is possible.
The trend continues, but PlayStation is carefully ensuring that there is enough time between the console release and a Steam release.
This also aligns with Sony’s declared strategy. They give the titles time to initially make large revenues and attract new players with the exclusive release on PlayStation.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered – August 12, 2022
What kind of game is this? In 1998, Sony secured exclusive rights to the superhero Spider-Man. If it has Spider-Man on it, Sony today has something to do with it.
This applies to movies and gaming. Bad news for Spidey fans on PC and Xbox – the Spider-Man games are among the best superhero games ever. With the remaster of “Marvel’s Spider-Man”, it recently launched on Steam.
The original version went online on September 7, 2018.
What were the player numbers like at release? While it doesn’t quite reach the level of God of War, shortly after release, it gathered a respectable 66,000 simultaneous players. Also a major hit for those responsible at Sony.
Thus, it is on par with BioShock: Infinite, the current cat hit Stray, or the zombie slaughter Back 4 Blood.

God of War – January 14, 2022
What kind of game is this? God of War has long been the epitome of PS exclusives. But at the beginning of the year, the God of War indeed came to Steam.
After the massacre among the Greek gods, you now fight through Norse mythology and have a son that meaningfully expands the story and gameplay.
God of War was released on PlayStation on April 20, 2018.
What were the player numbers like at release? The strongest release of a PS exclusive on Steam to date: God of War achieved over 73,500 simultaneous players – a top value for a game that is nearly 4 years old, celebrating a second release.
On this level are games like Age of Empires 4, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Days Gone was first released on April 26, 2019, on PlayStation.
What were the player numbers like at release? Days Gone reached a maximum of 27,450 simultaneous players, thereby also celebrating a successful second launch.

What kind of game is this? Another post-apocalyptic RPG, but this time with zombies. You experience the story of the survivors of a pandemic and race through the open world of this wrecked world on your motorcycle.
Days Gone was first released on April 26, 2019, on PlayStation.
What were the player numbers like at release? Days Gone reached a maximum of 27,450 simultaneous players, thereby also celebrating a successful second launch.
Though it didn’t compare to the blockbuster Horizon, titles like Titanfall 2, Age of Empires 3, or Batman: Arkham Knight were in the vicinity.
God of War – January 14, 2022
What kind of game is this? God of War has long been the epitome of PS exclusives. But at the beginning of the year, the God of War indeed came to Steam.
After the massacre among the Greek gods, you now fight through Norse mythology and have a son that meaningfully expands the story and gameplay.
God of War was released on PlayStation on April 20, 2018.
What were the player numbers like at release? The strongest release of a PS exclusive on Steam to date: God of War achieved over 73,500 simultaneous players – a top value for a game that is nearly 4 years old, celebrating a second release.
On this level are games like Age of Empires 4, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered – August 12, 2022
What kind of game is this? In 1998, Sony secured exclusive rights to the superhero Spider-Man. If it has Spider-Man on it, Sony today has something to do with it.
This applies to movies and gaming. Bad news for Spidey fans on PC and Xbox – the Spider-Man games are among the best superhero games ever. With the remaster of “Marvel’s Spider-Man”, it recently launched on Steam.
The original version went online on September 7, 2018.
What were the player numbers like at release? While it doesn’t quite reach the level of God of War, shortly after release, it gathered a respectable 66,000 simultaneous players. Also a major hit for those responsible at Sony.
Thus, it is on par with BioShock: Infinite, the current cat hit Stray, or the zombie slaughter Back 4 Blood.
Which PS exclusives are planning a Steam release? Next up are the Uncharted series games on Steam, which are celebrated by many PlayStation fans. A release in October is possible.
The trend continues, but PlayStation is carefully ensuring that there is enough time between the console release and a Steam release.
This also aligns with Sony’s declared strategy. They give the titles time to initially make large revenues and attract new players with the exclusive release on PlayStation.
Later, the games will be offered at low costs on PS Plus or also on other platforms, for a sort of second spring, to generate additional revenue. This stands in contrast to Microsoft, aimed at making big games available directly at launch in their Xbox Game Pass.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered – August 12, 2022
What kind of game is this? In 1998, Sony secured exclusive rights to the superhero Spider-Man. If it has Spider-Man on it, Sony today has something to do with it.

What were the player numbers like at release? The strongest release of a PS exclusive on Steam to date: God of War achieved over 73,500 simultaneous players – a top value for a game that is nearly 4 years old, celebrating a second release.
On this level are games like Age of Empires 4, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered – August 12, 2022
What kind of game is this? In 1998, Sony secured exclusive rights to the superhero Spider-Man. If it has Spider-Man on it, Sony today has something to do with it.
This applies to movies and gaming. Bad news for Spidey fans on PC and Xbox – the Spider-Man games are among the best superhero games ever. With the remaster of “Marvel’s Spider-Man”, it recently launched on Steam.
The original version went online on September 7, 2018.
What were the player numbers like at release? While it doesn’t quite reach the level of God of War, shortly after release, it gathered a respectable 66,000 simultaneous players. Also a major hit for those responsible at Sony.
Thus, it is on par with BioShock: Infinite, the current cat hit Stray, or the zombie slaughter Back 4 Blood.
Which PS exclusives are planning a Steam release? Next up are the Uncharted series games on Steam, which are celebrated by many PlayStation fans. A release in October is possible.
The trend continues, but PlayStation is carefully ensuring that there is enough time between the console release and a Steam release.
This also aligns with Sony’s declared strategy. They give the titles time to initially make large revenues and attract new players with the exclusive release on PlayStation.
Later, the games will be offered at low costs on PS Plus or also on other platforms, for a sort of second spring, to generate additional revenue. This stands in contrast to Microsoft, aimed at making big games available directly at launch in their Xbox Game Pass.
Titles like Hitman, Fallout: New Vegas, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Conan Exiles were available at launch at this level.
Days Gone – May 18, 2021
What kind of game is this? Another post-apocalyptic RPG, but this time with zombies. You experience the story of the survivors of a pandemic and race through the open world of this wrecked world on your motorcycle.
Days Gone was first released on April 26, 2019, on PlayStation.
What were the player numbers like at release? Days Gone reached a maximum of 27,450 simultaneous players, thereby also celebrating a successful second launch.
Though it didn’t compare to the blockbuster Horizon, titles like Titanfall 2, Age of Empires 3, or Batman: Arkham Knight were in the vicinity.
God of War – January 14, 2022
What kind of game is this? God of War has long been the epitome of PS exclusives. But at the beginning of the year, the God of War indeed came to Steam.

What were the player numbers like at release? The strongest release of a PS exclusive on Steam to date: God of War achieved over 73,500 simultaneous players – a top value for a game that is nearly 4 years old, celebrating a second release.
On this level are games like Age of Empires 4, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered – August 12, 2022
What kind of game is this? In 1998, Sony secured exclusive rights to the superhero Spider-Man. If it has Spider-Man on it, Sony today has something to do with it.
This applies to movies and gaming. Bad news for Spidey fans on PC and Xbox – the Spider-Man games are among the best superhero games ever. With the remaster of “Marvel’s Spider-Man”, it recently launched on Steam.
The original version went online on September 7, 2018.
What were the player numbers like at release? While it doesn’t quite reach the level of God of War, shortly after release, it gathered a respectable 66,000 simultaneous players. Also a major hit for those responsible at Sony.
Thus, it is on par with BioShock: Infinite, the current cat hit Stray, or the zombie slaughter Back 4 Blood.
Which PS exclusives are planning a Steam release? Next up are the Uncharted series games on Steam, which are celebrated by many PlayStation fans. A release in October is possible.
The trend continues, but PlayStation is carefully ensuring that there is enough time between the console release and a Steam release.
This also aligns with Sony’s declared strategy. They give the titles time to initially make large revenues and attract new players with the exclusive release on PlayStation.
Later, the games will be offered at low costs on PS Plus or also on other platforms, for a sort of second spring, to generate additional revenue. This stands in contrast to Microsoft, aimed at making big games available directly at launch in their Xbox Game Pass.
Titles like Hitman, Fallout: New Vegas, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Conan Exiles were available at launch at this level.
Days Gone – May 18, 2021
What kind of game is this? Another post-apocalyptic RPG, but this time with zombies. You experience the story of the survivors of a pandemic and race through the open world of this wrecked world on your motorcycle.
Days Gone was first released on April 26, 2019, on PlayStation.
What were the player numbers like at release? Days Gone reached a maximum of 27,450 simultaneous players, thereby also celebrating a successful second launch.
Though it didn’t compare to the blockbuster Horizon, titles like Titanfall 2, Age of Empires 3, or Batman: Arkham Knight were in the vicinity.
God of War – January 14, 2022
What kind of game is this? God of War has long been the epitome of PS exclusives. But at the beginning of the year, the God of War indeed came to Steam.

PlayStation has long hoarded its major exclusive titles for PS4 and PS5 like a treasure. However, some of the big exclusive blockbusters are now also available on PC for Steam. Was it worth it for Sony? How well do the titles perform on PC? MeinMMO has answers.
The PlayStation manufacturers from Sony followed a clear strategy of shielding for many years: No crossplay, no release of exclusive titles on other platforms.
In 2019 / 2020, this strategy was softened. With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (late 2019), the first AAA title with comprehensive crossplay features came to PlayStation. In June 2020, the first PS exclusives appeared on Steam – the playable thrillers Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human.
There are already some former exclusive titles from PlayStation on Steam – MeinMMO shows you the titles and player counts. If you are still looking for a PS5, check our sales ticker:
3 Thrillers at Launch – June 2020
What kind of games were they? Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human are all emotional deep dives that tell stories about human fates and societal issues.
As a player, you make decisions for the main characters of the games and discover how the world around you reacts to your behavior.
Heavy Rain was already 10 years old at the Steam release, Beyond Two Souls was almost 7 years old, and Detroit was about 3 years old.
What were the numbers like at the Steam release? None of the 3 games were really hits. However, the titles were already quite old at release. Detroit had the best launch, attracting just over 7,000 players simultaneously in its first month.
Heavy Rain managed just 720 players, and Beyond Two Souls reached 1,340. Especially Detroit is still performing quite well today – although it hasn’t surpassed its initial launch, it regularly reaches 3,000 simultaneous players.
When does one have a hit on Steam? There are no real guidelines for that, but when a title reaches 100,000 simultaneous players on Steam, it can be considered a major hit. The Witcher 3 managed around 100,000 at its peak (January 2020).
Some games explode at release, making even the Witcher numbers look tiny: The survival hit Valheim was released only on Steam in early access and had nearly 500,000 players (February 2021). Elden Ring went even further, reaching 950,000 players.
For the PS exclusives, such high numbers are not necessary for a small hit. The titles have already fulfilled their quota on PlayStation. 50,000 players at launch is already top, but 20,000 – 30,000 would also be worthwhile for Sony.
Death Stranding – July 14, 2020
What kind of game is this? Critically dubbed “walking simulator”, you explore a world that has encountered something mysterious. Although it doesn’t come from a Sony studio, it was announced as a PS4 exclusive back then.
You transport goods through this broken world, indirectly communicate with other players, and uncover the mystery behind the memorable story.
Death Stranding was released on November 8, 2019, on PlayStation.
What were the player numbers like at release? Death Stranding had a much better start than the thrillers of the first wave of PS exclusives. No wonder – the adventure was not even a year old, and the interesting gameplay approaches created much interest.
At the Steam release, it drew in over 32,000 players simultaneously, landing at the release level of Marvel’s Avengers and Fallout 76.
Horizon: Zero Dawn – August 8, 2020
What kind of game is this? A post-apocalyptic RPG in a world where machines have taken over many tasks from animals. The rough beast-machines roam everywhere, luring with valuable materials and action-packed battles.
You play as a tribal hunter who steps into the vast open world to discover the secrets of this world after an attack on your village.
Horizon Zero Dawn was released on PlayStation on February 28, 2017.
What were the player numbers like at release? At launch, the post-apocalyptic RPG had more than 55,000 simultaneous players – a full success for a second release.
Later, the games will be offered at low costs on PS Plus or also on other platforms, for a sort of second spring, to generate additional revenue. This stands in contrast to Microsoft, aimed at making big games available directly at launch in their Xbox Game Pass.

Thrustmaster launches its first hybrid racing wheel, the T248. MyMMO editor Patrick Freese shows you how the T248 compares to the G920, what innovations it offers, and for whom the wheel is worth the price of €350.
The most important points at a glance:
The Thrustmaster T248 is a hybrid racing wheel. Hybrid because it uses a mix of belt and gear mechanisms for its drive.
With a price of €350, it is meant to be the next step for gamers who previously used a beginner-class wheel or a controller.
In testing, the wheel feels good in hand, the pedals are easy to press, and the combination provides a good, realistic driving experience.
There is also a weak point.
Which wheel is it? The test is for the T248 from Thrustmaster, which was released in October 2021. We wrote this test for you in October 2021. The product is a combination of a racing wheel and a pedal unit. You can use it on your PS4, PS5, or PC to play racing games, simulators, or other games.
How did I test? I played various games on PC with the T248 for a week. Project Cars 2, Euro Truck Simulator 2, and Bus Simulator 2018. Assembly and installation posed no problem. I report on this test from the perspective of a casual gamer. I bought my first wheel, a Logitech G920, just this year and it was my most important gaming purchase of 2021.
Features and technical details:
Platforms
PC, PS5, PS4
Size
The wheel has a diameter of about 28 cm and is therefore similar in size to the Logitech G920.

The Thrustmaster T248 in detail
I will now introduce you to the combination of the wheel and pedals in more detail. I will cover the following aspects:
Contents
Design
Driving experience in practice
Subsequently, I will show you how the wheel performed in the test and whether I will sort out my relatively new Logitech G920 for it.
