Handofblood enters into an official collaboration with South Park, wants to save LoL, also disses NoWay: “I need a whole season of that”

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

After the trailer announcing the collaboration between the e-sports team Eintracht Spandau, the Twitch streamer HandOfBlood, and the US series South Park, the entire episode premiered on YouTube on Thursday night – and it caused great excitement among fans.

What is the episode about? In the video “The Rescue of League of Legends” on Eintracht Spandau’s YouTube account, a 12-minute episode in the style of the South Park series is shown, where the entire LoL e-sports and the team suffer under a specific person: the Twitch streamer “NoWay”. Too nice, too harmonious, and above all – he not only steals jobs and women from Eintracht Spandau, but especially the viewers. However, President Knabe, Broeki, Kevin Westphal, and Tristan Schrage do not want to let this happen.

When President Knabe realizes that harder training, face tattoos, the Prime League, and also “Rito” games won’t change their situation, the desperate president is left with one last option. He turns to the LoL god “Faker”, who gives him wise words that could get the team back on the right track. We won’t reveal more at this point.

Fans are excited, want more urgently

What is the fans’ reaction? Eintracht Spandau’s video along with the animation in the style of a South Park episode, the humor, and also the subtle criticism they incorporate, are very well received by fans based on the comments on YouTube. This is even acknowledged by viewers who previously had no contact with the e-sports team: 

  • „Ok, I have 0 connection to Eintracht Spandau, but this is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for this, a masterpiece“ (@eonbart)
  • „So genius. I would want to see a whole series of it“ (@Der-echte-Hans-Wurst)
  • „The whole video, the multifaceted criticisms of many companies and individuals appearing there, is truly a masterpiece <3“ (@Gekk27)
  • „I am so glad that a work of art is recreated and not AI slop […] but actually artists were paid. Thank you, Team Spandau“ (@johannes653)
  • „I think the reason why this YT video hasn’t reached 10 million clicks yet is because NoWay is currently online. grrrrrrrrrr“ (@t.b.a.21 20)

But even the official account of Comedy Central Germany praises the work of the involved streamers and e-sport professionals: “Oscar-worthy performances!”

Where can you watch the video? The entire episode is available for everyone on Eintracht Spandau’s YouTube account:

German MMORPG revises its PvP, gives away free items under one condition

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Albion Online, the developers have announced a major PvP update that is set to revise the existing system surrounding faction warfare and aims to ensure more fighting and less waiting. Game Director Moritz Bokelmann (shown in the featured image) discusses the upcoming changes.

What is this update about? With the major update “Realm Divided,” the German developers of Albion Online are focusing on the PvP aspects of the game. The MMORPG places a strong emphasis on PvP and features many battles in the endgame that are fought against other players.

The new update, set to be released on November 24, 2025, aims to improve faction warfare. Players can currently join a faction in the MMORPG and then fight together for territories.

However, because dying in Albion often comes with the loss of items, many groups avoid skirmishes and simply run past each other to capture territories without a fight. But that is set to change.

More fights, less running

What are the developers planning? The developers of Albion Online presented the new system for territorial battles in a video on YouTube. Game Director Moritz Bokelmann (visible in the featured image) explains that the focus of the PvP adjustments will be on more fighting and less running. To achieve this, the developers have first revised which areas will be fought over, aiming to create more confrontation.

Furthermore, the developers have also added new loot spots. In contested areas, there will be new crates that can only be opened after a certain period. Those who loot them will receive the items, but they must fight for them first.

As a third important point, the update introduces a new teleportation feature. It allows players to reach the action much faster and teleport close to contested areas. This prevents lengthy traversing of safe zones before reaching the front lines.

Additional rewards for Xbox Game Pass subscribers

What else is new? Albion Online is now also available on Xbox Game Pass (via AlbionOnline.com). Although the MMORPG is free to play, with an optional premium subscription, players who link their accounts with an active Xbox Game Pass account can receive free items.

Players receive 3 days of premium access, five boosters that enhance gained experience (fame) for three hours, 250,000 experience points (fame), and 200 charges for the victory emote. Unlike League of Legends or Valorant, where players continuously gain advantages with Game Pass, players in Albion do not receive any permanent bonuses or ongoing premium access.

Steve Jobs relied on a simple 3-second rule for better presentations

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Steve Jobs relied on a simple rule to make presentations better and easily understandable: People must understand all the content within 3 seconds. He was inspired by billboards on the highway.

Jobs demonstrated in all his presentations that almost all of his keynote slides contained just one word, one number, or a strong image. A well-known example: the presentation slide introducing the iPhone, which showed three icons for iPod, phone, and internet communicator. Behind this lies a simple rule. This is reported by the English-language magazine Forbes.com.

3-Second Rule for Presentations, as the Audience’s Attention is Low

What is this rule? Steve Jobs relied on a simple rule for his presentations, the so-called 3-Second Principle: A presentation slide should operate under the same principle as a billboard on the highway – it must be understandable within three seconds.

Jobs was inspired by well-made billboards, which drivers need to comprehend in just a few seconds. A presentation slide is considered successful if it is instantly understandable even under time pressure. Because drivers do not have more time, especially when they are not stuck in traffic.

Jobs also employed additional tricks and simple methods to convince the audience:

  • Content is always organized in groups of three because people can remember three things more easily.
  • Many images, little text, known as “Picture Superiority”.
  • Emotions are also an important part of a presentation or performance. Because Jobs aimed not only to convey facts but also to inspire people with a vision and sell dreams instead of products.

Gigantamax Drednaw in Pokémon GO – 4 tips and the best counters

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

Deponitox is making its debut in its Gigantamax form in Pokémon GO. MeinMMO provides you with essential tips for a successful battle.

What kind of event is this? On Saturday, November 1, 2025, the Dyna Battle Day in Pokémon GO will take place from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. It brings Gigantamax Deponitox into the game for the first time.

During the event, you can find and challenge the monster at all energy sources. Additionally, energy sources will refresh more frequently. The limit for Dyna particles is also increased to 1,600 particles during the event, and you will find 8 times the amount of particles at energy sources. The number of special trades is also increased to 2.

On November 1, 2025, from 12:00 AM to 5:00 PM, you will receive double the amount of particles while walking, and you will only need a quarter of the usual distance to obtain them. The remote raid limit is also increased to 20 from November 1, 2025, at 1:00 AM to November 2, 2025, at 4:00 AM.

Pokémon GO: The Season “Stories of Transformation” in the Trailer

4 Tips for Battling Gigantamax Deponitox

1. Distribute the Roles

Gigantamax battles are among the toughest challenges in the game. Therefore, you will need many trainers to defeat the boss. 4 trainers always form a team.

Coordinate within your team who takes which role and brings the appropriate Pokémon. You should have one trainer responsible for healing and another for shields. The other two trainers can focus on dealing damage.

2. Swap in Battle

In a Gigantamax battle, it is crucial to fill your Dynameter with a defender as quickly as possible. Once it is filled, you should swap in your attacker or healer, depending on the role you take in the battle.

After using your attacks, shields, or healing, switch back to your defender. Repeat this process until the boss is defeated.

For a defender, it is important that the monster has a fast attack that only takes 0.5 seconds. This way, you fill your Dynameter the quickest. Also, make sure that your monster is resistant to Deponitox’s attacks.

The following Pokémon are suitable as defenders:

  • Zamazenta (King of Shields) with Metal Claw
  • Metagross with Meteor Mash or Dark Claw
  • Corviknight with Sandstorm
  • Duraludon with Metal Claw
  • Zacian (King of Swords) with Metal Claw

von Paul Kutzner

3. Use the Right Counters

If you are responsible for dealing damage in the battle, you should, of course, use strong counters to deal maximum damage. Remember that your monster’s fast attack determines which Dyna attack it has.

Deponitox is weak against Psychic and Ground type attacks. Therefore, you should ideally use the following monsters:

  • Alakazam with Confusion or Psychic Blade
  • Latios with Zen Headbutt
  • Metagross with Zen Headbutt
  • Excadrill with Mud Shot
  • Silicobra with Confusion or Psychic Blade
  • Latias with Zen Headbutt

If you don’t have any strong counters in your team yet, you can complete the free, limited-time research until the start of the event, which is much easier to complete for the first time.

4. Strengthen Pokémon

The best Pokémon won’t help you in battle if they aren’t strong. So make sure to increase your monster’s CP by leveling them up. Dyna attacks should also be leveled to maximize their effectiveness.

November kicks off in Pokémon GO with the Dyna Battle Day. However, in addition to this day, there are countless events and content waiting for you in the game. What they are and when they take place can be found in our overview with all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

7 epic battles where Marvel heroes faced opponents from other universes

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 4 minutes

Marvel often pits its heroes against other franchises. This leads to some crazy combinations. We show you seven of them in this list.

The Marvel universe is vast and rich. It would be enough by itself to tell stories for eternity. The number of heroes and villains is indeed very large. However, now and then, Marvel engages in a crossover with another brand to provide some variety.

The following seven examples show how crazy the combinations can be. They are, of course, just a small excerpt from all the crossovers that have occurred over time. All involve comics or mangas. If you know any others, feel free to share them with us in the comments at the end.

This is a crossover between the heroes of Marvel and those of DC. So it’s a meeting that is obvious – after all, the two comic publishers host some of the most popular heroes that exist.

The story revolves around the conflict between the scientist Krona (from DC) and the immortal Grandmaster (from Marvel), who argue over which of their worlds is superior. To find out, the Justice League must face off against the Avengers – a crossover of epic proportions.

While the teams must find twelve artifacts, epic battles break out time and again. For example, Superman goes up against Thor, or Batman against Captain America. Gradually it becomes clear: the real enemies are not the members of the other team, but Krona and the Grandmaster himself. Thus, they must unite to save the world.

New details from WoW make it clear: We will lose in Midnight

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

We already know a lot about the upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft. And one thing is clear: Midnight does not end well.

The Alpha of World of Warcraft Midnight is already in full swing. Not only based on the playable quests, but also due to various achievements, a solid picture can already be assembled regarding how the story of Midnight will end. The first clues clearly indicate: This does not end well.

Spoiler Warning: This article discusses some of the story developments of the upcoming expansion Midnight. If you don’t want to know how the story unfolds, you should not continue reading.

Select a MMO video…

Who found this? The YouTuber and analyst Bellular summarized the information from the Alpha in one of his latest videos. He also came across achievements that summarize the course of the endgame campaign – precisely because you can see the titles of the individual chapters. From this and other data mining information, one can already guess how the story of Midnight will unfold.

Link to the YouTube content

What was found? The endgame campaign of Midnight is called “The War of Light and Shadow”. This is something that has been hinted in the story of World of Warcraft for over a decade – a final confrontation between light and shadow.

But even more interesting are the chapter names that are part of this achievement. One chapter is called “The Darkwell”, which presumably translates to “Der Finsterbrunnen”. This leads to the assumption: The Sunwell is corrupted by the Void and becomes a source of darkness.

How exactly the well is corrupted seems to be clear already: Through Alleria Windrunner. She is one of the raid bosses in the upcoming expansion and from the dungeon journal, it is already indicated that the Void takes her over and she – at least temporarily – succumbs to madness. Enough time to corrupt the Sunwell.

This aligns with a quote that Xal’atath said back in Legion to priest characters when Alleria absorbed a fallen Naaru on Argus:

“The caterpillar became the butterfly. It now belongs fully to us.”

Whatever happens with the “Darkwell”, it is likely to pose a significant threat to the World Soul of Azeroth.

However, there is also the final chapter “Twilight of a New Well”. This could mean that the corrupted Sunwell is cleansed again after a short time – or the Elves create a new well that will serve as a source of magic for them in the future, as the Sunwell is no longer usable.

Keep in mind that this is still interpretation and data mining. The exact course of the campaign may change or deviate from what is written here.

von Cortyn

What does this mean for the next expansion, The Last Titan? It only seems logical that we do not emerge as the great heroes in “Midnight”. This was also the case in The War Within. There we defeated Dimensius, but at the same time equipped Xal’atath with a lot of power.

As the dragon Iridikron is waiting for the Void to fulfill its plan so that the titans must return to Azeroth, from whom he seeks revenge, everything seems to be going according to plan. The various storylines of the last years are thus steering towards a finale that likely requires the defenders of Azeroth to lose first.
But others also lose in Midnight: Shadow Priests. Because their play style will become radically worse.

After the end of New World, a developer now has bad news for the MMORPG to The Lord of the Rings: “You would have loved it”

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

After the layoff of 14,000 Amazon employees, an affected developer gives a hint about the current status of the “Lord of the Rings” MMO, which does not deliver good news for waiting fans.

What has the developer hinted at? The LinkedIn post of a former senior developer at Amazon Games, who was affected by the layoffs at the company, not only shows the love she has for her projects and former colleagues but also gives a clear hint about the current status of the “Lord of the Rings” MMORPG.

This morning, I was part of the layoffs at Amazon Games, along with my incredibly talented colleagues from New World and our little gem ‘Lord of the Rings’ (you would have loved it).

– Ashleigh Amrine, Senior Gameplay Engineer and former Tech Lead at Amazon Games
Ashleigh Amrine Layoff Post LinkedIn
Ashleigh Amrine’s post on LinkedIn (Source: MMO Intel on X)

And in this message is the statement that fans might not want to hear – you “would have” loved it. This suggests that waiting players will likely never have the chance to fall in love with the planned MMO based on the Lord of the Rings. 

If we trust the statement of the former developer, it will therefore not be released.

How reliable is the source? Since the upload of the post on the developer’s LinkedIn page, the message has been removed. However, a screenshot was captured and published by MMO Intel on X. The reason for the message being deleted is not yet explained.

No official statement from Amazon Games regarding the suspected end of the MMO has yet been made.

Since it is about a person who has contributed to the development of the game, her statement should not be ignored directly.

How does the community react to this news? Players and fans of the genre who trust the source react dejectedly to the realization that the “Lord of the Rings” MMO will never be released. Some try to cope with the disappointment through humor, while others are simply frustrated by the decisions made by Amazon:

  • “Of course they [canceled it], lol. I swear we can’t have nice things anymore,” writes Chilled Freshh on X.
  • “One ring to rule them? More like a layoff wave to cancel them all,” writes Alex107 on X.
  • “I hate these decisions from Amazon. Unfortunately, they don’t need any of it. So they just don’t care. But they had the chance to steer the MMO genre back in the right direction,” writes Steven the Heathen on X.

ARC Raiders attracted over 200,000 players simultaneously on the first day, effortlessly reaching the Top 5 on Steam

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

The extraction shooter ARC Raiders was released on October 30, 2025, and already boasts impressive player numbers on Steam. The community ratings are also positive.

What is ARC Raiders? It is a new game from developer Embark Studios and is another representative of the extraction shooter genre. This includes titles like Escape from Tarkov.

The genre is very popular, but it was exciting to see if the dystopian setting and the struggle for survival would once again find its players. As usual, one must face hostile players, called Raiders, but also the ARC, extremely deadly machines.

After many players had eagerly waited on Steam before release, the title is finally here, and the raw numbers reveal how ARC Raiders performs on the platform. Spoiler: The shooter does not need to hide.

And the numbers keep rising …

How is it looking on Steam? ARC Raiders has hit like a bomb. Already around 10 AM, half an hour after release, there were over 140,000 players simultaneously on the servers according to steam.db.

This number continued to grow throughout the day. By 2 PM, the 180,000 players mark was broken, and in the early evening hours of October 30, the game surpassed the 200,000 player mark. The peak continues to rise minute by minute and is currently at over 226,000 simultaneous users (as of: 30.10.2025, 7 PM).

In comparison with other popular titles on Steam, ARC Raiders also performs very well. With these numbers, the game ranks 5th among the most played titles (via steam.db). Behind long-standing favorites and current hits like PUBG, Battlefield 6, Dota 2, and the leader Counter-Strike 2.

This is a remarkable success for the new extraction shooter. The genre is currently popular and competitive, and new titles have it tough. Whether and how the game can maintain this position in the coming days remains to be seen. Currently, the numbers are still rising.

The mood in the community is already good. The game has a rating of “very positive” on Steam, with 87% of users giving it a thumbs up.

What do the players think? User Vanrath calls ARC Raiders on Steam a “gem in today’s times” and praises the gunplay and movement, the understandable crafting, the sound design, and the general coherent atmosphere.

Also, Philschinksy appreciates the dense post-apocalyptic atmosphere and writes on Steam: “The world feels alive and credible, while the teamwork is really fun – especially when taking down large ARCs together.”

For FreudAndError, ARC Raiders is a good alternative to Escape from Tarkov and describes the new game on Steam as “relaxed” in comparison. The title makes it clear that everything here is meant to be fun, and the approach is not too hardcore.

Provided that you enjoy PVP. For User Dragor, the focus on battles against other players is a problem. He would wish for a PVE version. Whether the developers will consider this request is questionable.

So far, the game can convince most users. On consoles, where ARC Raiders will also be released, the servers are likely to be similarly full. If you need help in the game, we have some good beginner tips for you on MeinMMO.

The fourth season of The Witcher has just been released, but fans have already made up their minds: “I’ve read better fan fiction.”

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 3 minutes

On October 30, 2025, Season 4 of The Witcher was released on Netflix. Some fans dove right in to watch the new episodes of the series. They come to a rather clear conclusion.

Fans of The Witcher had to wait two years since the third season of the series. But that has now come to an end. Eight new episodes were released all at once on Netflix. They continue the adventures of the Witcher Geralt of Rivia and are primarily based on the second novel “Sword of Destiny” by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.

There was a lot of discussion beforehand about the lead actor. Because while Geralt was portrayed by Henry Cavill in the first three seasons – a true Witcher fan – he has now handed over the role and will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth.

This led to criticism from fans, who even demanded in a petition the return of Cavill. All pleas and begging were of no avail, as the decision was final. Now viewers finally know how the new actor fares as Geralt. And they share their opinions about the new season as a whole.

Not the hoped-for continuation, but …

What do the fans say? Just a few hours after the release of the new episodes, some viewers were probably already through thanks to binge-watching. They are actively sharing their impressions on Reddit, explaining what they liked and what they didn’t.

Looking at the various voices, one thing becomes clear: Many viewers are confused, as the new season feels different from the previous ones. At the center of the criticism is the script along with its dialogues, which don’t seem to fit into the world.

Overall, the tone is now different – this had already been hinted at, as the creators wanted to portray Geralt as significantly more emotional and humorous. Some find the production quality has declined, leading to harsh judgments:

  • “God, the writing is terrible. I’ve read better fanfiction. Is this supposed to come from a professional author?”, wonders Hyper_Mazino on Reddit.
  • MummyBear337 notes on Reddit after a short watch: “Half of Episode 1 is gone, and something is off. Not just Liam. The tone of the series, the characters, the dialogues… I feel like this is a completely different show.”
  • “You can see the actors’ lip movements don’t match the spoken words,” criticizes jpp1974 the technical execution on Reddit.
  • “Nothing fits together. The action choreography is very cheesy. […] The chemistry between the main actors is not the same. It feels like a body without a soul. The story progresses… but to me it feels lifeless,” writes fugaciousredamancy on Reddit.

Is it all bad now? Even though many disappointed and negative voices can be found, there is also clear praise. This is often due to none other than lead actor Liam Hemsworth, who was the biggest point of criticism before the season came out. After viewers actually saw him in the role, their opinions have changed:

  • “Liam is better than I expected; that’s a pleasant surprise,” says eileenOZ on Reddit.
  • “The series is mediocre because it is mediocre, but to be honest, if Liam had been Geralt from the start, the fans would be satisfied. He’s doing quite well,” explains thalandhor.
  • “Honestly, I had no problem with Liam as Geralt at all. The fight scenes were good,” believes zandrew in his post on Reddit.
  • “Okay, I didn’t expect Liam to look so much better than in the trailer and in photos. I think he’s doing a phenomenal job with what he’s been given and the shoes he had to fill,” concludes GWNVKV on Reddit.

By the way, critics find a similar conclusion. On Rotten Tomatoes, the new season has a rating of 50% – here the audience rates it with 25% (as of October 30, 2025, 5:45 PM)

All in all, Season 4 is thus the low point. However, for fans of the Witcher, it might still be worth a look. And it is always best to form your own opinion. Have you seen the new episodes yet? Feel free to let us know in the comments. While Henry Cavill will no longer be seen as Geralt, he is not idle: The reboot of the fantasy film with Henry Cavill in the lead role gives fans a promise 39 years later

Fortnite introduces sweet companions into the game, but with such a brazen condition that the community initially thinks they are fake

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite allows you to embark on a journey with companions starting November 1, 2025, who are especially well-received by players due to their cute appearance. However, when they read about the conditions tied to changing this appearance, they can hardly believe what Epic demands in return.

What kind of companions are these? In a current announcement on fortnite.com, the team introduced a variety of companions that can accompany players in many game modes. These include a banana-dog named Schälchen, which can be unlocked starting November 1 in the next Battle Pass, as well as additional companions named Wuffel, Spike, and Mini-Raptor, who will appear in the shop starting November 7. Epic also promises that, in addition to all the dogs, there will be a suitable companion for cat fans.

The cute little creatures are very popular with the community, mainly due to their cuteness, but the joy over the new companions is dampened by a certain condition. While you can customize the companions’ appearance, you can only do so if you are willing to buy a companion multiple times over – and every time at the same price.

Players can hardly believe that Epic isn’t ashamed

What shocks players? Anyone wanting to give their furry friend in Fortnite a new look cannot simply apply a new skin. If the companion is to have a new appearance, players have no choice but to purchase a completely “new” companion, even if they already own it. Epic sees this as less problematic, mentioning it quite consciously in the second paragraph of the announcement:

You can customize the appearance of most companions once in the locker after you have received them. Your selection is permanent, so take a good look at the appearance preview before making your final decision.

When this information was shared with the community on Reddit, players could hardly believe that this decision could actually be real in Fortnite: “Dude, I have to buy multiple companions so they can wear different shirts? Are you serious?” (Xeallexx on Reddit).

What do fans say about the monetization of customization options? The Fortnite community on Reddit seems almost twice as perplexed, as such a regulation for a game with such a variety of customization options like Fortnite is hard to explain.

“Epic … why are there cosmetic options for companions when you force them to be permanent?” writes the stunned user CosmicAtlas8 on Reddit, “We have 200 equipment slots and thousands of skins because your players love to customize things visually. Please consider updating the customization options so they are not one-time and permanent.”

The user Absolute_Eb’s presumed response – refined with a touch of irony that summarizes the general mood of the players according to responses – is as follows: “As mentioned, you can only customize them once, but you can buy multiple copies […] and provide a small, struggling company like Epic with more financial support” (Source: Reddit).

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

Path of Exile launches tomorrow into its new league “Keepers of the Flame”, bringing new mechanics, rewards, and build options. We have summarized the most important innovations for you in under 2 minutes.

When does Keepers of the Flame start? The new league in Path of Exile starts on October 31, 2025, at 8:00 PM German time. Expect a huge influx of players wanting to climb the ladder. Long queues and server issues are therefore expected.

What changes with the new league? The league’s theme revolves around the Breach system (source: pathofexile.com). Monstrous beings want to invade Wraeclast, and with the help of a secret cult, you try to crush the threat.

The Breach system is set to be expanded, even granting you two new arms on your back that fight independently for you. Additionally, 10 more classes will join, providing new build diversity. Along with new crafting items and the Genesis tree, this offers even more options to empower your character.

One of the biggest highlights, however, is the revamped trading system from Path of Exile 2, as it will finally be implemented in the predecessor.

The handheld for the PS5 is expected to receive a new feature, which could finally solve one of the biggest weaknesses of the device

david hausberger david hausberger Reading time 2 minutes

A new notice in the PlayStation Store is generating buzz among PS Portal owners. Apparently, Sony might be working on a feature that addresses the biggest drawback of the handheld: its reliance on its own PS5. This would make the device much more versatile.

What kind of handheld is this? Currently, the PS Portal serves exclusively as a streaming extension for the PlayStation 5. It cannot run games independently but streams content via Remote Play directly from the home console. Therefore, an active PS5 connected to the same network is always required.

Since November 2024, a beta has been running where PS Plus Premium members can stream select PS5 titles without a PS5 (via blog.playstation.com). However, this offer only covers titles that Sony has included in the PS Plus Premium Game Catalog. A new leak now suggests that this might change soon.

Start video
The creators of PlayStation visited hundreds of developers, but everyone found the idea terrible

Notice in the PlayStation Store disappears, fans still hope for a big feature

What does the leak promise? On the official subreddit of the PlayStation Portal, user GetTheWetsOn shared a screenshot from the PS app. On the PS Store page for the game “Deliver at All Costs,” he discovered a line stating that one could buy the game and then immediately stream it on PS Portal or PS5, but only with PS Plus Premium. 

The user also mentioned that the line was also found on the Store page of the “Dead Space” remake. He documented the hints, which were shortly thereafter removed from the PS Store.

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the Reddit content

How likely and trustworthy is the leak? GetTheWetsOn typically does not post leaks, yet several magazines, including Wccftech and PlayStation LifeStyle, believe there could be some truth to the statement.

They see a possible indication that Sony is preparing for streaming purchased games. So far, the PS Portal is primarily a remote play device for the console itself. However, there are already selected games in the cloud from the PlayStation Plus catalog.

From a technical perspective, cloud streaming on the PS Portal also seems feasible. Sony’s Senior Vice President Hideaki Nishino emphasized in 2023 that remote play and cloud gaming are fundamentally only differentiated by the location of the server (via wccftech).

This is how the community responds: On Reddit, the community reactions in the 186 comments show how much users wish for the feature (as of: 30.10.2025, at 15:15). Many also demand that Sony should allow playing already purchased titles without PS Plus Premium. If Sony actually brings the feature, the handheld would reportedly become more independent and the PS Plus Premium subscription would become significantly more attractive than before.

Sony has not yet commented on the current leak. Until confirmation, it remains a rumor that fans are eagerly following.

The fact that many players wish for this feature and even get creative is shown by another case: A trio successfully hacked the PS Portal to install their own games and make the device more independent.

6 Real-Time Strategy Games on Steam You Can Easily Spend 1,000 Hours On

Ody Ody Reading time 5 minutes

Are you a fan of strategy games and can’t bear to constantly spend money on new titles? Then games that you can invest an insane amount of time into are the way to go – here are 6 such titles that you can find on Steam.

What criteria was this list created based on? In this list, we will only present RTS, so real-time strategy games. Global and turn-based strategy are left out. It’s also important that you can spend as much time in the games as possible without it getting boring immediately, and that they are available on Steam (although we will have to make a small exception for a few).

How much time you can spend in a game naturally also depends on personal taste. It’s not guaranteed that the gameplay loop of a game will remain enjoyable for 1,000 hours (or more) – but in these games, that applies to many.

Age of Empires

Start video
Age of Empires 2 sends you on the campaigns of Alexander the Great in its latest DLC

The “Age of Empires” (AoE) series starts things off. It has produced some of the most popular RTS games of all time. In its Definitive Edition, the original trilogy is still easily playable on modern systems.

Especially worthwhile are parts 2 and 4: Both games still receive DLCs today that add new historical factions and campaigns. So both single players and multiplayer fans are catered to here, with the strong multiplayer keeping the games alive.

With the “Rise of Rome” DLC for AoE 2, you also essentially get part 1 in a better form, and the Chronicles expansions also offer new peoples and campaigns for fans of antiquity. You can safely skip the first game nowadays. If you want primarily modern graphics, AoE 4 is your best bet.

  • Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition on Steam
  • Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition on Steam
  • Age of Empires 4: Anniversary Edition on Steam

Age of Empires 3 is also recommended if you don’t mind that no new content is being released for the game anymore. With home cities and card decks, it offers unique mechanics for the series, and the campaigns are also engaging and well-presented. There is even a free demo of the game if you want to take a look.

The Settlers

Start video
With the History Collection for The Settlers, you will experience the venerable strategy series in a new light

The strategy series is somewhat between classic RTS and city-builders. Each installment focused on a different aspect – sometimes more on combat, sometimes more on economic management. Depending on what you prefer, you should choose another installment of the series.

Unfortunately, you can only find a part of the games on Steam, but in modernized versions. These are: 

  • The Settlers: Heritage of Kings on Steam
  • The Settlers: Rise of an Empire on Steam
  • The Settlers 7 on Steam

Here comes the only exception to our Steam rule since the rest of the games are only available via the Ubisoft Store. There, you will also find the individual games in the improved History Edition, or in a collection with all games (except The Settlers: New Alliances).

Pokémon GO: Catch as many costumed Pokémon as possible tomorrow – It could be worth it

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

October 31 in Pokémon GO will be interesting: You have a chance to collect rare special candies.

What kind of event is this? Currently, the second part of the Halloween event is running, which brings various bonuses since the beginning of the week. However, October 31 will unlock a special bonus that you should definitely take advantage of if you have the time.

What kind of bonus is this? On October 31, you will have the opportunity to get special candies and special candies XL when you catch costumed Pokémon. It’s crucial that you land good, great, or excellent throws – so aiming well is important.

However, there is a catch: The announcement states that you can receive “special candies or special candies XL when catching with a lot of luck.” The candies are therefore not guaranteed, and in fact seem to be very rare.

It’s unclear how many candies you will receive. What is clear, however, is that it is worth catching as many costumed Pokémon as possible. That way, you have more chances.

Start video
Pokémon GO: The Season “Stories of Transformation” in the Trailer

Why is this a good bonus?

Special candies and special candies XL can be used on any Pokémon to perform upgrades or pay for evolution. Especially for rare or legendary Pokémon, for which candies are hard to obtain, this can really pay off.

Especially the XL candies are usually hard to get. XL special candies would therefore be a pretty good item that you should secure if possible.

Which costumed Pokémon are around? You should look out for the following Pokémon:

  • Teddiursa with Witch Hat
  • eF-eM with Hairband
  • Pikachu with Halloween Prank Costume
  • Plinfa with Halloween Prank Costume
  • Gengar with Halloween Costume
  • Drifzepeli with Halloween Prank Costume
  • Froxy with Witch Hat
  • Bauz with Halloween Top Hat

While Twitch streamers build bases and go on adventures, Trymacs pretends to play another game in his Minecraft project

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, the project Craft Attack 13 is running on Twitch, with Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler participating as well. The streamer plays Minecraft in a special way, as he imitates gameplay from another game he really likes.

What kind of Minecraft project is this? Currently, the Minecraft project Craft Attack is taking place on Twitch. The project is already in its 13th season and this time includes 100 content creators. They come together on a server where they team up in small groups to play together.

What game is Trymacs imitating? The game that Trymacs seems to be imitating in Craft Attack 13 is Foundry. A factory game where the goal is to build automatic machines, connect them, and expand further.

Foundry is a game that Trymacs has played repeatedly in the past, even though it is a niche game. The Twitch streamer enjoys it.

Minecraft or factory game?

What does Trymacs do in Craft Attack 13? Trymacs primarily builds one thing in the Minecraft project: farms, specifically automated ones. With the help of materials like Redstone, machines can be built that either produce materials or provide experience for the players.

Of course, other Twitch streamers also occasionally build farms. After all, they ensure quick progress in the game, depending on their utility. But Trymacs clearly stands out with his playstyle, as he builds so many farms side by side and seems to focus solely on that. Other streamers, for example, also expand their dwellings and furnish them nicely, whereas Trymacs positions his beds outdoors next to his farms.

Trymacs takes his farming activities very seriously. For example, he taught his brother Nici Stemmler, who also livestreams on Twitch, how to build a farm. Both were very focused and joined a separate voice chat group to concentrate on the task.

Nici Stemmler in Craft Attack 13
Nici Stemmler helps his brother build many farms (via twitch.tv).

The special thing about Craft Attack 13 is that every content creator can play Minecraft the way they want. Additionally, viewers can always watch the Minecraft content that they find intriguing.

Trymacs’ many farms can, for example, inspire viewers to recreate such farms themselves. However, if viewers prefer to see the world explored in Minecraft, they can simply switch the Twitch stream.

Developers of New World bid farewell to players with a secret letter that can only be found in the MMORPG

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The players have discovered a letter in New World that now turns out to be a farewell message from the developers. We will tell you what it contains and how the developers say goodbye.

What kind of farewell letter is this? The Amazon MMORPG New World will no longer receive any further content updates. This news shocked many players who had just gained new hope thanks to the fresh expansion Nighthaven. The expansion was launched on October 13 and has been well received by players.

Since the release of Season 10, players have been able to find a collectible. A kind of letter that has gained new significance with the end of New World. It contains a message that players previously thought was an ordinary lore entry, but in reality it is a kind of farewell letter.

Start video

Farewell letter with heartfelt words

What does the farewell letter say? The letter that players were able to find before the official announcement contains a long message that reflects the development of New World and its players from the perspective of the developers. We have translated the English text for you here into German:

We were there when you found Thorpe for the first time in the abandoned grove after you had struggled your way across a foreign shore.
We were there when you found your first settlement and explored its charm and its inhabitants.
We were there when you fought against pirates, tigers, the corrupted, ghosts, and all sorts of dangers across the land.
We were there when you set foot on the forsaken sands filled with lost secrets and hidden dangers.
We were there when you discovered the untamed wilderness full of animals and lush jungles.
We were there when you crept into the dark heart of lands filled with opulence, madness, and horrors.
We witnessed it all. We rejoiced. We shared in your joy over every perfect moment, every carefully crafted story, and we were even witnesses to the union of two souls that met here in Aeternum.
We did all of this for you, dear adventurer.
Thank you for so many amazing stories, triumphs, and fits of laughter.
We raise our glass to our fallen comrades: Divya Shaun Kelvin Aaron
Good luck and good night.

The message seems clearly to be a kind of farewell letter from the developers. According to PCGamer.com, it could come from quest/level/game designer Jason Bowes, who was responsible for the area. Senior game designer Rachel Barnum has since also posted the location of the message on X.com.

Where can you find the message? The message can be found in the game next to the Tower of Strength in the new area that came with the Nighthaven update. It is located on a small island with only a few stones, trees, and the message named “The Spirit of Aeternum”.

Player creates wild map in Battlefield 6, become an action hero like Arnold Schwarzenegger

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

With Battlefield 6: Portal, fans can create their own crazy maps for Battlefield 6. One of them even makes you an action hero, throwing around explosions that could impress even Arnold Schwarzenegger.

What kind of map is this? User Rolezn has published his new creation in Portal on Reddit – Chaos Climb. In this, you spawn on a ramp and must try to reach the end. As you make your way forward, you will be bombarded with countless exploding vehicles like tanks or quads.

In the video, Rolezn showcases impressively how action-packed the mode really is. He dodges vehicles and even slides under a speeding tank just to avoid being crushed. In the end, he was hit by a quad and thrown off the ramp, but despite the map being very hectic, many fans are eager to test it soon.

What do fans say about the map? They recall the time when Halo 3 was still fresh. With the “Forge” mode, fans could create their own custom modes back then and have fun with them. One of these modes was called Hurricane Katrina (source: youtube.com) and it was set up just like the fan mode in Battlefield 6. Here’s what fans have to say:

  • “Great Halo Reach vibes” – BourbonMyFriend
  • “The dive under the tank was epic!” – Deeedy
  • “I will try this with my brothers. I assume we can play with just 4 people?” – Hyperboreanpc
  • “Okay, I guess I need to learn more about Portal maps. I didn’t realize you could basically create mini-games like in Halo’s Forge mode.” – NoireResteem

If you want to see for yourself what the map in Battlefield 6 is like, you can visit it with code: ZX45F in Battlefield 6: Portal. Up to 24 players can participate in a round and get lost in the chaos. One thing can already be said: the mode could come straight out of an action movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, as chaotic and explosive as it is.

Pokémon GO shows new information about the Nature Zone: Safari Balls get an upgrade

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon GO is hosting the great Nature Zone 2025 in November. Now, new supplementary information is known.

When does the Nature Zone take place? The Nature Zone runs on November 15 and 16 in its global variant. Thus, everyone can participate in the Nature Zone worldwide.

Shortly before, there is the event “On to Adventure”, which also delivers some highlights.

What does the Nature Zone bring? Basically, there are several new monsters, exciting Pokémon in Gigantamax raids or regular raids. However, an absolute highlight is the “powerful” Pokémon. These are particularly strong specimens that you can encounter in the wild. They are very difficult to catch but usually have very good stats and an increased chance of being XXL Pokémon.

To catch them, it’s best to use the “Safari Balls” introduced last year in the Nature Zone. And some of the new information revolves around that.

What’s new regarding the Nature Zone?

The team behind Pokémon GO has announced that it will be possible in the future to send Pokémon in Safari Balls to Pokémon HOME as well. This will provide an option to use some of the powerful Pokémon in other games, which should please some players. However, the Safari Balls will be represented differently than in Pokémon GO.

Speaking of Safari Balls: During the Nature Zone, ticket holders will find “Delivery Balloons” in the game every hour, bringing them new Safari Balls. This has also been newly announced.

Furthermore, there is more information about the special research that awaits you during the Nature Zone.

The research is available from 10:00 AM on November 15 and offers you two paths:

  • The “Dark Researcher”
  • The “Fairy Fan”

Depending on your choice, you will receive different rewards, and you can also secure a medal with the respective title.

However, the following bonus is especially crucial:

  • You will receive an additional XL Candy when catching powerful Pokémon for the type you have chosen starting from level 31.
  • There are 1,000 Stardust extra for each catch of the respective type.

So choose wisely which Pokémon you prefer to catch.

Thick exploit in WoW: Remix characters escape, make current raids solo

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A really nasty exploit is causing problems in World of Warcraft. Remix characters have “escaped” – Blizzard had to intervene immediately.

In Legion Remix, everything is a bit wilder than in traditional World of Warcraft. The characters are more powerful, have extremely strong abilities, and can handle raids on their own. Therefore, a Remix character cannot be used in modern WoW, but must be converted first. However, Blizzard has now halted this conversion – because there was a really strong exploit. Remix characters were able to participate in current content and handle it alone.

Start video

Remix characters solo the Manaforges Omega

How does the exploit work? The answer is: shockingly simple. With a little trick, it was possible to use the characters from Remix in “Retail” as well. One only had to proceed as follows, as described by player siming85 in the WoW subreddit:

  • Own 2 WoW accounts.
  • Both create a Legion Remix character.
  • The characters invite each other into a group.
  • One of them logs out and converts their character.
  • Now you have a Retail character that is in a group with a Remix character.

This Retail character can now form groups as usual, for raids or dungeons. With the help of a Warlock portal, it was possible to summon the Remix character as well – who then easily completed a raid on mythic difficulty alone. Like against the current final boss Dimensius:

Link to the YouTube content

Is that allowed? No. Exploiting such a flaw is a clear violation of the rules and is usually harshly punished by Blizzard. In the past, not only the exploiters themselves but also involved characters – such as all those who were in the raid group – were punished for such incidents. This will likely be the case again this time.

von Cortyn

Is it still possible now? No. Blizzard has temporarily disabled the conversion of a timewalker character into a normal character. Until the error is fixed, it is therefore not possible to convert a Remix character anymore. Therefore, it is practically impossible to replicate and exploit this exploit.
Besides exploits, there is also something else in the Manaforges – a nice hidden mount that you can easily obtain.

While we wait for Aion 2, the Classic version of the MMORPG is getting a major expansion, with a new class and raids

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Many players are waiting for the new MMORPG Aion 2, which is supposed to come to us in the West in 2026. However, the Classic variant has now received a major expansion that can shorten the wait.

What kind of update is it? The big 4.0 update has now been released for Aion Classic Europe, bringing the new expansion “Light of Atreia”. Unlike previous updates, the developers have packed as much content as possible into a single large release, giving players a lot of new things to do.

The expansion is already live on the servers of Aion Classic Europe and has been available for free play since October 29.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new class:

Start video
Aion Classic Europe presents new mage class Luminess in trailer

The new expansion is impressive

What does the expansion offer? The biggest new feature in the expansion is the new class “Luminess” and, as seen in the trailer above, she fights as a mage with moonlight spells against enemies. The class can be played both as a damage dealer and as a supporter.

The fast caster class can hex enemies with stackable debuffs, making her effective in combat. For the team, the class can enhance unique abilities that the group can benefit from. Uncharacteristically for a mage, she is played at short distances instead of far from the enemy.

What else is new? Besides the new class, the expansion also brings a level increase. Instead of only reaching level 60, players can now level up to level 70. The skill system has also been changed, and players no longer need skill books for their basic skills.

Content-wise, there are two new raids and two new dungeons in the game. Additionally, with the new PvPvE map “Tiamaranta Mesa,” a large area is added that promises good loot when not being taken down by other players.

In addition to the new features, the developers have also released some new systems for gear enhancement. The new update has also brought many “Quality of Life” improvements and bug fixes.
