Even today, it is still not easy to get a PlayStation 5. Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, however, apparently got his hands on a true mountain of consoles – and used it to bring joy to children.
Who is it about? Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most famous players in basketball. He left his mark on the American NBA for years.
Besides his basketball career, “Shaq” is also active in other fields, including releasing several music albums, acting in various films, or appearing in the wrestling ring. He also invested in the esports team NRG.
He recently appeared on the podcast “The GaryVee Audio Experience” (via Apple Podcasts) and spoke with host Gary Vaynerchuk about various topics – including Christmas and the topic of gifts.
This is how the PS5 donation came about: O’Neal shares in the podcast about his parents, who always had little but taught him how important it is to give back: “They taught me how important it is to help people in need.”
Above all, he wants to ensure that children receive “good gifts” at Christmas, says O’Neal. In the past, he has repeatedly drawn attention to charity actions where he organized toys and similar items.
So it was this year as well: He talks about having contacted a friend and “ordered about 1000 Switches and 1000 PS5s. I went to Walmart and bought bicycles. And yesterday, at this little elementary school in McDonough, Georgia, the children cried, the children were happy. And that is what it’s all about.”
This is the PS5 situation: Getting 1,000 PS5 consoles (or even Switches, by the way) is likely to be an absolute exception. Shaquille O’Neal can probably rely on contacts and a lot of money in case to organize the charity action.
However, in normal PS5 everyday life, it still looks different.
Although the PS5 is now more than a year old, it is still hard to come by. Numerous retailers do get shipments of the console, but they are regularly sold out within a very short time.
If you are still looking for a PS5, you might find it here: The MeinMMO ticker for PS5 is constantly updated and provides hints on where you might be able to get the console.

Destiny 2 is getting closer to the release of the latest DLC. The Dawning ended today and Guardians in the Destiny universe are once again turning to the final challenges in the “Trials of Eternity”. There are rumors that the seasonal quest may continue. Otherwise, you can expect the following challenges this week.
This week: The “Trials of Eternity” remain the only event in the game, as Eva’s Dawning 2021 is over and Bungie is clearing away the Christmas decorations. Now there is more time for interested players during the 30th anniversary to get the special rewards from the loot chests, such as Xur’s comet-like ship.
Many assumed that the anniversary event would disappear with the release of the new expansion “The Witch Queen” on February 22, 2022. This is not the case. Joe Blackburn, Game Director of Destiny 2, tweeted that this event will “not be going anywhere in the foreseeable future”.
Otherwise, players are completing many challenges in this long Season 15 that they have never gotten around to. However, it is rumored that we might finally see movement in the seasonal quest regarding Mara Sov and Savathun this week. A new Destiny 2 cutscene sparked discussions on Twitter in this regard. Will we see something new here this week?
Anyone looking to try out unusually effective builds should let their Titan be touched by “a worm” and test this combination on Destiny 2 bosses:
In the Vault of Glass, the Atheon Challenge called “Convergence Refrain” is taking place. Note that each teleported player may only shoot one Oracle per round.
As a reward, a time-lost weapon is waiting in the Challenge Mode of the Raid. This week it is the Void Machine Gun “Corrective Measure.” The weapon also comes with guaranteed 2 perks per slot. But always keep in mind that Hard and Normal modes share loot.
This week the armor focus in the Raid is: Resilience
Crucible – These are the PvP playlists:
Private Match
Rumble
Control
Elimination
Glory Survival
Glory Survival: Freelance
Conflict
Ascendant Challenge:
Petra Venj has this week’s 1st Ascendant Challenge “Ouroborea” for you. You can find Petra and her quest offering in Rheasilvia. Savathun’s Curse is in full effect and the Taken corruption touches every corner of the Dreaming City.
Seasonal Activity – Shattered Realm:
In the Shattered Realm of the Ascendant Realm, you must head into the Tangled Shore this week. The area “Shattered Dreams” awaits you if you want to discover the mysteries and find anchors.
Sources for Top Loot in Season 15 of Destiny 2
This is the new max level: In the Season of the Lost, the maximum power level of your gear is 1,330. This makes the power level only +10 higher compared to the previous Season 14.
So you’re not busy with the tedious levels, but can jump straight into the endgame.
This top loot (Pinnacle Gear) brings you over 1,320:
Reach at least 100,000 points in Nightfall: Devil’s Lair (+2)
At Tess in the Eververse, there are again some cosmetic items on offer to complete your collection. This week you can snag the “Bad-Spiderman Dance” and execute its move in Destiny 2. How this embarrassing yet cool emote in Destiny 2 came to be will be revealed here:
Technically, you can even get it for free as it costs exactly 700 Glitter Dust. That’s the amount that Bungie gifts you this week and last week over the Eververse.
Don’t forget your Glitter Dust gift: If you’re short on Glitter Dust, you should check the Eververse right after the Weekly Reset. Bungie has been giving you Glitter Dust for the fifth week already. You just need to collect it from Tess and then you can shop for cosmetics.
This is what you can get for Glitter Dust this week at Tess:
A weapon ornament for the Withering Collector “Cedar and Ash”
The exotic ship “Nemean Gale”
Exotic Sparrow “Swift Street Rocket”
The legendary teleport effect “Only the Best of the Best”
Exotic emote “Grim Scene”
Legendary emote “Slow Dance”
Exotic Ghost Shell “Hard Light Shell”
Legendary Ghost Projection “Spider Projection”
and as shader “Shard of Desire”
Did you get your desired weapon during the Dawning? And how was your Glitter Dust haul? Was it worth it for you in 2021? What is on your Destiny 2 To-Do list after the Dawning?

The Destiny 2 support is back from the break, and you can expect the first downtime of the year on January 4, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia. You will continue to receive the most important times and information on MeinMMO.
What you need to know today: After a quiet time for Bungie support over Christmas and New Year, things are getting back to normal. We are expecting the first downtime of the new year 2022. As always, we will keep you updated.
To ensure you know exactly when you can play and what changes are happening in the game, MeinMMO will guide you through the maintenance work and update this article as soon as something changes or Bungie releases further information about a hotfix and adjustments.
Maintenance on 01/04 – All times and server downtime
These times are important today:
At 2:00 PM German time, the maintenance work will start on all platforms.
From 2:45 PM, the servers will be offline. You will be kicked from all activities and the downtime will begin.
It is expected that the servers will be back online around 5:00 PM, and the update will roll out worldwide.
If a download is in progress, you can play Destiny 2 again once it is downloaded (and copied).
The maintenance work is expected to end at 6:00 PM as planned.
Update history: – 2:45 PM: The servers went offline exactly at 2:45 PM. – 5:00 PM:Destiny players can log in again. The maintenance work officially ends at 6:00 PM. So expect some “hitches”. – 6:00 PM: Destiny 2 is back online. The maintenance work is completed and no download is necessary. The reset takes place as usual and you can log in again as normal.
It is important: Even if you have loaded the update, there may be connection problems until the planned end of the maintenance work around 6:00 PM. You may need to expect queues at login. Also, please keep in mind that third-party applications and the official companion app may not be reachable properly.
The Bungie support is back and we expect the first update.
What changes with the Update in Season 15
This is what the hotfixtoday brings: Bungie has not disclosed any details about the update in advance. Officially, Bungie has not said anything about it. Therefore, we can only assume that maybe some known issues have been addressed.
The menus in the game have been loading very slowly since Christmas, causing players to wait a long time before quest menus, weapon details, and other information in the game open.
In the “Trials of Eternity,” there are repeated crashes and black screens. This issue occurs more frequently on consoles but can also happen sometimes on PC, preventing players from completing the activity.
Xur continues to blink after you have raised your reputation rank with him to level 16.
Failsafe seems to have boot issues, as she has been absent more frequently lately and could not always be addressed.
To keep you entertained during the server downtime, we recommend these articles:
What’s included in the patch notes? Bungie publishes the comprehensive list of all changes in the form of patch notes.
Traditionally, the information is released together with the update itself, but that has not been the case so far. However, as soon as Bungie provides further information online, we will add the link here.
Update 01/05/2022: Bungie has not yet provided any patch notes for the maintenance work. But DIM, the Destiny Item Manager, provided the info that Bungie has resolved an API issue some time ago which caused players to lose armor items. You can read more about it on the DIM GitHub page.
Are you glad that Bungie is now resuming the old maintenance rhythm? Or do you think the last two weeks without maintenance work were more pleasant? And don’t forget: Today is also the last day to bake and deliver cookies, as the event officially ends on January 4, 2022.

In Season 25 of Diablo 3, the Soul Shards play an important role. With a trick, you can now easily and quickly farm many of them. We will show you here how it works.
What is it about? The Soul Shards are the main seasonal theme of Season 25 in Diablo 3. You can socket them into helmets or weapons. With the resource “Embers of the Hellforger”, you can upgrade each shard three times, unleashing their true powers. However, luck also plays a significant role in how the shards are rolled. So it’s important to farm many shards to get the strongest combination.
Diablo expert Raxxanterax shared a guide with the community that makes farming the shards really easy. This uses the current “Darkness in Tristram” event.
Farm Infinite Soul Shards in “Darkness in Tristram”
Why does this work? The basis of the trick is the “Darkness in Tristram” event, which brings you optical and gameplay nostalgia. In Act 1, you will find a portal that takes you back to the “old” Diablo. With old graphics and controls (optional), as well as old bosses. You will find them all in a multi-level dungeon.
The bosses inside reliably drop the shards, and if you follow a specific path, you’ll quickly have many shards together.
The event runs until February 1, 2022. So you still have plenty of time to use the trick and make farming easier. We are embedding the video from Raxxanterax here and showing you the written explanation below.

What’s next? Now you can teleport to the city and recycle the shards you don’t need at the blacksmith. This will provide you with gems.
After that, you can leave the game and start again on T16, starting the run from the beginning. This way, you earn about 14 Soul Shards in less than 5 minutes.
You can repeat this method as many times as you like to earn your gems and Soul Shards.
You can also use the event to secure two cool pets:
The opportunity to farm these two companions is available every year anew. It works whenever the event with the old Tristram is active.
Whoever has already earned the Calf and the Mini-Butcher cannot farm them again. Will you use the trick to farm many Soul Shards now, or do you already have enough of everything and don’t need it anymore?

The new MMORPG Broken Ranks now officially has a release date. It will be released on January 25th. The game has already impressed with its interesting combat system and promises of varied dungeons and raids in trailers. We at MeinMMO summarize all the important information for you.
What kind of game is this? Broken Ranks is a new free-to-play MMORPG in an isometric perspective, similar to Lost Ark. You will navigate through a landscape that looks like a painting and does not offer as much depth as classic 3D MMORPGs. The game will be released only for PC.
Also unique is the combat system, as it is turn-based. Once you attack a monster in the open world, you are taken to a separate combat screen. There, you have 10 seconds each round to select a skill and a form of defense.
The same combat system applies to enemies in dungeons, bosses, or players in PvP.
Broken Ranks aims to offer the following gameplay content:
A non-linear, darkly told story
7 different classes
Group content such as dungeons and raids
Guilds
PvP content, which takes place in special areas
Crafting and trading between players
The game is being developed by a Polish indie studio, and you can view the first gameplay from the beta in this video from YouTuber MadMaster:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMD789Le9Yw
Broken Ranks reveals details about the release, preload, and the shop
When exactly will Broken Ranks be released? As announced today in the official Discord for the MMORPG, the release will take place on January 25th at 5:00 PM German time.
The preload for the game will start on January 18th at 5:00 PM as well. You only need to register on the official website (via BrokenRanks).
Will Broken Ranks be released in German? Yes, the MMORPG will also receive a German, Russian, and Portuguese localization in addition to Polish and English.
How is the game funded? Broken Ranks will be a free-to-play MMORPG and relies on a shop for funding. There you can purchase the currency Platinum for real money. Platinum is tradable, so you can also gift this currency to other players or exchange it for gold or equipment.
Who is Broken Ranks worth it for? Broken Ranks is a dark MMORPG with a unique setting. The game world and the combat system may not appeal to everyone.
However, anyone who enjoys turn-based combat, the graphics, and the isometric perspective should definitely give the game a try. We at MeinMMO will take a closer look at Broken Ranks after the release and also write a small report about it.

Whether PS5, Xbox, or gaming PC: Every gamer has a mass storage device installed to install games and more. But is 1 TB adequate for gaming in 2022?
If you want to play games, you have to install them on a storage medium. Here, users can now choose between traditional hard drives (HDDs) and a Solid State Drive (SSD).
HDDs are significantly cheaper than SSDs, but they are also slower and more prone to damage from shocks and movements.
But how much storage space do you actually need in 2022 if you want to play modern games? Is 1 TB still enough today, or do we need more storage?
Colloquially, we refer to both an HDD and an SSD as hard drives. Technically, however, only magnetic storage media (HDDs) are meant by a hard drive.
If you want to play state-of-the-art titles and MMOs, you need a lot of space
Which games are large? In particular, many modern games and MMOs require a lot of space. Here are 5 games that many users are currently playing and require considerable storage:
CoD: Modern Warfare & Warzone requires nearly 200 GB of storage in total. However, if you only want to fight in Warzone, the game shrinks to around 90 GB.
The new co-op shooter Back 4 Blood requires around 40 GB on your computer.
Apex Legends requires more than 80 GB of storage and seems to get bigger with every update.
Textures in particular require a lot of space on your hard drive
Why are games so large today? Textures, videos, and audio files require a lot of space when you want to install games. In particular, textures are taking up more and more space because gamers want their game to look stunning.
However, this is noticeable in storage hunger: High-resolution textures, clothing that moves with every breeze, or hairstyles where you can count every hair. Then there are special features like ray tracing. But this requires space on physically limited mass storage.
As if that wasn’t enough, some games now offer high-resolution texture packs. Because your graphics card shouldn’t get bored, and even the last rock must look sharp. This makes games visually better, but the storage demands also increase.
Games like Justice: Online look fantastic thanks to ray tracing.
Why don’t you just delete games? Many gamers likely know the problem: Games can be uninstalled in a few moments, but downloading them again can take several hours depending on the connection.
Therefore, there are many users who keep games installed even when they are not playing. Because some simply don’t want to download dozens of gigabytes of data again and wait days.
If you are interested in more about hardwarethis might also interest you:
1 TB of storage space could become tight in the long run
Basically, it depends on what kind of gamer you are. If you have two or three favorite games that you mainly play, then your hard drive won’t fill up quickly. Even when games get a bit larger or receive regular big updates like Call of Duty: Warzone or Apex: Legend. For example, a large update for CoD: Warzone became a problem for console players because the game simply became too big.
However, if you want to play significantly more games or just enjoy trying out new things, it makes sense to buy a mass storage device with 2 TB directly. Otherwise, you’ll have to regularly delete games.
If you record video material while gaming or use other programs with high storage needs, 1 TB will also likely be tight.
A combination of HDD and SSD has become established among many users. A small SSD for the operating system and basic programs, and an HDD for games and data. However, the SSD for Windows should also not be too small. Because many games store save files, screenshots, or settings in the documents folder on the Windows partition.
In Call of Duty: Warzone you can change your Activision ID and your Name. We from MeinMMO show you 2 methods in this guide and explain why names cannot be changed too often.
Nick, Username, Pseudonym – a large part of players on the internet use some sort of nickname online. This is the first business card you hand out to strangers and it can have a significant impact.
If you are tired of your old name, you will find all the important information here to change your display name and your Activision ID in Call of Duty: Warzone.
CoD Warzone: Change name with “Token”
Which name is displayed in the game? While you create a name for your characters in Battle.net games like World of Warcraft that is visible in-game, Warzone usually displays parts of your Activision ID as your display name.
Through the Acti-ID, other players can find you (also in crossplay), but it is not the same ID used to log in to Activision services.
The ID usually consists of your display name followed by a hash and several digits.
What’s the deal with the “Tokens”? Activision does not allow you to change your Acti-ID 10 times a week. In fact, it can only be done a few times a year.
Every 6 months, Activision distributes so-called tokens and you need a token to change your name. The deadlines for receiving tokens are:
March 1
September 1
In the name change menu, you can see how many tokens you currently have. You can hold a maximum of 2 tokens.
How can I change my display name? You have 2 options: In-game in the account settings and on the official Call of Duty website:
Warzone: Change name in-game
Warzone: Change name – In-game
Go to settings
Select the far-right tab “Account”
Go to the subsection “Activision Account”
Press “Change Display Name”
Enter your new name and press confirm. But be careful: Warzone will not ask you for further confirmation. So check your entries carefully for errors.
Hover your mouse over your current Activision ID in the top right
Select the option “Basic Info” or in the general settings “Basic Information”
Here you change data about your name, your address, and at the bottom, also your Activision ID
Click on “Edit” and enter the code Activision sends you
Even after editing, you must confirm your identity again and enter your account password again
We have tested both methods and found that for the second confirmation on the website, it is not enough to log in with your PlayStation or Xbox account. At this point, you need the password for your Activision account. Even if it is offered differently.
Once you have adjusted your name, you can see how your display name and Activision ID look in-game through the Activision account options. This ensures that everything is correct.
If you have further questions about mechanics or want guides on a specific topic in Warzone, do not hesitate to leave us a corresponding comment on MeinMMO.
On January 4, patch 6.05 of Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker went live. It brings the epic raid battles of Pandæmonium, the new dungeon Euphoratron, as well as further adjustments and new items. You can find the highlights of the patch notes and server status information on our site MeinMMO.
What kind of patch is this? 6.05 is one of the interim patches announced for the time after the release of the new expansion Endwalker. While the epic Pandemonium raid provides gameplay content for hardcore players, the casual community also benefits.
The treasure hunt dungeon Euphoratron offers new cosmetic items like companions and a glamour outfit. Additionally, there have been a series of balance adjustments for the jobs, new recipes for crafters, and fixes for known issues. We give you an overview of the most important changes.
When do the servers go online? The servers have been online again since 11:00 AM German time.
Details on Patch 6.05 – Pandæmonium – Asphodelos (epic)
How to unlock the content:
Location: Labyrinthos X: 8.4 / Y: 27.4
NPC: Nemjiji
Quest name: In the Heart of the High Watcher
Requirements: Completion of the normal mode of Aphodelos
Upon completing a raid battle, the players of the group receive the following drops:
Asphodelos chests: When an Asphodelos chest is used, an equipment item for the job or class being played at that time is issued. Furthermore, weapons can be directly looted from treasure chests in “Asphodelos – Fourth Circle (epic)”.
Upgrade materials Skyward Polish, Skyward Fabric, and Skyward Solvent, which can upgrade the equipment exchanged for Allagan Stones of Astronomy from item level 590 to 600.
Parts of the Asphodelos mythos awarded as a reward for the individual levels of the raid “Pandæmonium – Asphodelos (epic)” can be exchanged for equipment items with Mylenie in Labyrinthos (X:8.3 Y:27.6) or Djole in Radz-at-Han (X:10.3 Y:9.6).
The raid equipment has the same design as the outfits from the normal mode, with the difference that the parts from the epic mode can be colored.
For the epic Pandæmonium raid, the following restrictions apply:
Minimum level 90
No duplicate jobs
Minimum item level:
Asphodelos – First Circle (epic): min. 570
Asphodelos – Second Circle (epic): min. 575
Asphodelos – Third Circle (epic): min. 580
Asphodelos – Fourth Circle (epic): min. 580
Time limit: Asphodelos 1 to 3 – 90 minutes, Aphodelos 4 – 120 minutes
If there are group members who have already completed the phase, fewer treasure chests will appear. Additionally, these players do not have a right to equipment items and parts of the Asphodelos mythos from the treasure chests.
If 1 to 4 players have completed the level, only 1 treasure chest will appear. If there are 5 or more players, none will appear.
Progress resets weekly on Tuesday at 5:00 PM (Earth time).
These are the new Allagan stones: Characters at level 90 can now also collect Allagan stones of Astronomy. Each week, a character can collect a maximum of 450 stones, with a total cap of no more than 2,000.
The stones can be exchanged with the NPC Khaldeen in Radz-at-Han (X:10.9 Y:10.4) for new equipment items with item level 590.
New Stone Armor
Initially, 1,000 stones were required for a weapon. This amount has been reduced to 500.
The Allagan stones of Astronomy can be obtained in all daily random contents, provided you enter with a level 90 job and in level 90 dungeons.
Treasure maps dungeon Euphoratron
The new dungeon is the Endwalker version of the Channels of Uznair and Lyhe Ghia. In it, a group of up to 8 players can try their luck and make their way to the deepest level. Access to the dungeon opens randomly upon using Ophiotauros leather treasure maps, which you can obtain through gathering classes by harvesting level 90 gathering points.
As a reward, there are always new cosmetic items like companions, furniture for your housing, and rare materials for a new outfit. Additionally, a lot of Gil will be awarded as a reward.
Job balance changes
The following jobs have received adjustments in patch 6.05:
The Monk will no longer be penalized for missing the target with a set of skills:
Fist of the Destroyer, Earth Shatter, Fourfold Judgment, and Shadow of the Destroyer grant the corresponding chakras despite the miss.
Elixir Field, Ignition, and Phoenix Dance grant Moon and Sun Nadi.
Dragoon received buffs for the attacks Twin Wyrm (from 370 to 420), Geiskogul (from 250 to 260), and Nastrond (from 350 to 360).
Samurai received buffs for the range of its abilities Higanbana, Kaeshi Higanbana, Midare Setsugekka, and Kaeshi Setsugekka to 6 Yalm.
Ninja received a series of buffs and adjustments:
Dancing Raiju was buffed (from 400 to 560), the duration of 15 seconds was removed.
Howling Raiju was also buffed (from 400 to 560), the range was reduced to 3 Yalm, the condition changed to “Can only be executed during Raiju Blitz”.
Phantom Kamaitachi can now be cast without the stack Double Self, the increase of the Ninki gauge has been set to 10.
The duration of Double Self is no longer tied to the status Kamaitachi-ready. Instead, the effect now lasts 45 seconds.
Reaper was lightly nerfed. The healing potential from the skill Arcane Emblem was reduced from 100 to 50.
Dancer received a category change from Talent to Weapon Skill for the abilities Simple Finale, Complex Finale, and Tillana.
Summoner gets a buff for the skills Source of Fire (from 430 to 520) and Sign of Purification (from 180 to 240).
Scholar can now deploy its fairy at a greater distance of 30 Yalm.
No changes were made to the remaining jobs.
Miscellaneous
New master recipes for crafters have been added
New mounts and companions have been added.
New items have been added that can be exchanged for MGP.
New furnishing items have been added.
New music rolls for the orchestrion have been added.
New highwild can be hunted.
New training targets have been added to the Stone Puppet Training.
New achievements and titles have been added.
In the group finder, the condition “Content completed (reward for this week not yet received)” can now be selected.
What comes next: With 6.05, the last patch with a fixed release date is released. By the end of January, the Halloween event Alleschutzheiligen is expected to be rescheduled.
If the development team continues its usual release cycle for patches, players can expect patch 6.1 around mid-spring. This will likely include the following content:
New story quests that start a new fresh storyline after completing Endwalker.
New trial content and the EX version of the final boss of Endwalker.
New 24-player raid of Eorzea’s myths.
The casual content Sanctuary Island, which is a kind of “Stardew Valley” mode of FFXIV.
Major changes in PvP.
Currently, FFXIV is still facing a sales stop because the game is struggling with full servers and long queues:
The year 2022 is set to be a grand year for games. But which titles are particularly interesting for co-op fans? We at MeinMMO have selected 12 titles that you should definitely keep an eye on.
In this list, we take a look at the co-op games that are set to be released in 2022. We deliberately leave out MMOs and MMORPGs and focus only on the co-op aspect of each game.
Since the games have not been released yet and we cannot say how good they actually are, this list is based on the personal assessments of the author Mark Sellner, who has been following the games for quite some time and has played some of their predecessors.
Developer/Publisher: Capcom | Release: January 12, 2022 | Model: Buy2Play | Platforms: PC, Switch | Number of Players: 1 to 4
This is Monster Hunter Rise: Monster Hunter Rise is the sixth installment of the main series Monster Hunter and was already released in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch. The game returns to a more Asian setting, following Monster Hunter World, but does not change much otherwise.
Alone or optionally with your friends, you embark on a hunt for monsters. Of course, there will again be new variants of the nasty beasts waiting for you, and a new story can also be expected in Rise.
However, Monster Hunter remains true to its gameplay loop. You kill monsters to loot them and craft better equipment to kill stronger monsters and repeat the process. It sounds simple, but it works well and is fun.
In the process, you access a variety of weapons and can specialize in several of them. There is enough long-term motivation for the endgame in Monster Hunter Rise.

This is how co-op works: Co-op essentially works the same as normal gameplay. You can hunt and slay monsters either alone or with up to three other players. The monsters scale in strength, so you are never underchallenged by the beast of your choice.
Unfortunately, there is no crossplay or cross-save feature. You cannot carry over your save from Switch nor play with your Switch friends.
What do we expect? Monster Hunter stays true to itself with Rise and relies on tried-and-true features.
Enhanced graphics in the PC version with the Asian setting of Rise
New monsters and new variants of familiar monsters
A cleverly refined gameplay loop that always motivates you to play
Many and diverse weapons
Fast-paced action gameplay in battles against monsters
When can you play? You can already play on Switch, or test the free demo of Monster Hunter Rise on Steam. The official release of the PC version is then on January 12. So you don’t have to wait much longer.
Rainbow Six: Extraction
Developer/Publisher: Ubisoft | Release: January 20, 2022 | Model: Buy2Play | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Google Stadia, Amazon Luna | Number of Players: 3
This is Rainbow Six: Extraction: In the new Tom Clancy adventure Rainbow Six: Extraction, you actually don’t have to play against other agents and special forces. Nevertheless, you can see some familiar faces again.
Extraction relies on the characters from Rainbow Six: Siege and starts with 18 of them at launch. All of them possess different abilities and equipment, just like you are already familiar with from Siege.
Once you have selected a hero, you dive directly into the mission. There are various missions with constantly varying objectives based on the mission type. However, they all have one thing in common: it’s against dangerous NPCs, and you don’t want to lose your character.
You can try to rescue him on a rescue mission afterward, but if you don’t succeed, he’s lost. So, there is a kind of permadeath system in Extraction, which is meant to add extra excitement.

This is how co-op works: The entire game is designed around the co-op aspect. Together with two other players, you face the dangers of the mysterious aliens. While you can also play the game alone, you will then have NPC companions. So you are never truly alone.
In a group of up to three, you will try to wipe out the slimy enemies and rescue your captured friends. Or maybe blow up the whole facility.
What do we expect? As you are already used to from Rainbow Six: Siege, you can look forward to exciting action.
Partially destructible environments
Various weapons that feel similar to those in Siege
18 well-known operators at launch and more to come
Various game modes, all with a PvE focus

Dying Light 2
Developer/Publisher: Techland | Release: February 4, 2022 | Model: Buy2Play | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X | Number of Players: 1 to 4
This is Dying Light 2: Dying Light 2 takes us back to the zombie-infested world of the first installment, but is otherwise detached from the story of the first game and takes place several years after the events of Dying Light.
The game places great emphasis on its story and wants to tell a gripping tale in which characters and your choices play a key role.
Dying Light 2 offers more of the gameplay that you are already familiar with. Fast-paced parkour action combined with quick melee combat and handcrafted weapons. Firearms, on the other hand, are said to be even rarer than they were in the first part.
The titular mechanic of the horror game means that you have to pay significantly better attention to your surroundings at night than during the day. The transition between day and night is an essential part of the game. At night, it becomes significantly more dangerous than during the day.

This is how co-op works: The co-op feature of Dying Light 2 is limited to a drop-in co-op, where you can invite friends to your campaign or join your friends’ story.
The host retains the story progress, while other players only gain experience and loot. Because the entire game world can change based on your decisions, it’s particularly important that you check out other save files and play with friends.
You can do all this with up to four players, but solo, duo, or trio modes are also possible. Whether the second installment will also have a separate multiplayer mode is currently unknown. However, the co-op feature benefits from the fact that you can play Dying Light 2 on almost any PC.
Note: Since Dying Light 2 was not approved by the USK for those under 18 in Germany, it will only be released in a censored version here. You can only play with German friends if you have the German version of the game.
What do we expect? In terms of features, Dying Light 2 is well-equipped.
Free parkour system that invites exploration of the world
Crafting system that allows you to create the strongest weapons yourself
Engaging story with strong characters
Decisions that can change the game world
Horror and survival elements
Fast-paced melee combat in first person
When can you play? Dying Light 2 will be released worldwide on all platforms at the same time: on February 4, 2022. The game was originally supposed to be released in 2021 but was postponed.

Teamfight Tactics is the auto battler of League of Legends. The game was released in 2019 and gained significant popularity towards the end of 2021. The lead designer of TFT reflected on 2021 in a video and provided intriguing insights for the future.
Where does TFT stand right now? Teamfight Tactics struggled at the beginning of 2021 with a rather weak Set 4 and later with a mediocre Set 5. The mechanics did not resonate well with many players, and randomness played an overly significant role, even aside from the selection of champions.
This changed with the current Set 6, which garnered many positive reactions:
The set appears more balanced and has a reduced focus on randomness.
The first promotional tournament received good viewership numbers despite the low prize pool.
The set brought back the major streamers William “Scarra” Li and Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang.
In general, TFT also gained traction on Twitch, surpassing the mark of 140,000 simultaneous viewers for the first time since its release in July 2019 in November 2021, even though the World Championship 2021 already took place in October (via Sullygnome).
Content-wise, the game has also significantly improved. In early 2021, the Hyper Roll was released. This is a type of turbo mode where matches last only 15 minutes, and everything generally runs much faster. Shortly thereafter, a special spectator mode for tournaments was implemented.
Towards the end of the year, the mode Double Up was launched in beta. Here, players team up in pairs and can help each other with champions and items. However, if one player is eliminated, the match ends for both.
What does the head of the game say about TFT? Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer is the lead developer of TFT and regularly shares matches and insights into the future on his YouTube channel.
In his extensive year-in-review, he reveals that TFT grew in player and developer numbers in 2021 and is set to receive content for the next decades (the relevant part starts from 1:12:10).

TFT is set to receive a kind of 2.0 version, with solid plans for the next 3 years
What new features are planned? As Mortdog reveals in the video, the developers are working on a kind of 2.0 version of TFT. This is not supposed to be a new game, but rather an evolution of TFT:
I remember Meddler [Note: Andrei van Roon, the Vice President of League of Legends] said: “We need to find a TFT 2.0.” I believe this year has strongly pushed us in this direction in many ways. Early next year, there will be some announcements that, in my opinion, will show what we are talking about.
According to Mortdog, there is already a concrete plan for the next three years and for several new sets. TFT is expected to continue for years, even decades, even if they could only implement half of their plans.
Additionally, the developers have increased the size of the team:
We have more people. We have a leadership team, new engineers, new artists, new designers. It feels like we will continue to rise in 2022.
For 2022, the release of Set 6.5 is planned for February and the release of Set 7. One of these sets will include the character Silco from the series Arcane. There will also be several tournaments per set and a World Championship, which already had a prize pool of 250,000 dollars in 2021.
Mortdog also emphasized in his video that he reads daily complaints from players who wish for better balance, bug fixes, or a better mobile version. He sees a lot of potential to make TFT even better in the coming years.
What do you think about Teamfight Tactics? Have you played it in recent weeks or did you drop out at some point? What do you like and what bothers you about the game? Feel free to share it in the comments.

We have compiled a list of the 7 best Anime MMORPGs currently available on the market in 2022.
Are you no longer drawn to the graphic style of the big AAA MMORPGs? Is anime and its associated art style your passion? Then it might be time to try one of the many anime MMORPGs.
However, many of these games are truly worth it, while others just lure you in with empty promises, scant clothing, and exaggeratedly large breasts? We present 7 Anime MMORPGs that are worth taking a longer look at for fans of the genre.
Update: On January 4, 2022, the list was updated for the new year. The article originally dates back to 2017.
Every year, there are a few surprise hits that appear “out of nowhere” and take the gaming landscape by storm. In the autumn of 2020, it was probably Genshin Impact.
The game not only features impressive anime graphics that regularly amaze everyone at how a game on a smartphone can look so good, but it also excels in gameplay.
Once the coop mode is unlocked, Genshin Impact can also be played with friends. You not only fight the same enemies but also unleash interesting combos of different elements that would not be possible alone. So it’s definitely worth it and fun to be out with friends.
However, Genshin Impact is also based on a gacha system where you can only get the best heroes if you are very lucky or spend a lot of real money to bolster your luck. However, for most players, this should hardly be a limitation and many enjoy the game without spending much money.
Genshin Impact is regularly improved and expanded since its release. The story continues to evolve, and new features such as housing or even dates with characters were added later. It’s a game that receives a lot of new content every few months.
However: Genshin Impact is not a pure MMORPG but is largely more of a single-player title with optional multiplayer mode. It combines a lot of good from both worlds, but it is not considered a traditional MMORPG.
Where can I download the game? You can download Genshin Impact from the respective store of your platform (PC, iOS, Android). For PC, simply visit the official website.
Blade & Soul
Setting: Asian martial arts | Developer: NCSoft | Platform: PC | Release Date: 01/19/2016 (Europe) | Model: Free2Play
If you are into Asian settings with dramatic stories and female villains whose appearance actually belongs in a pin-up calendar, then you will be happy with Blade & Soul. Even if the graphics are no longer fresh, they are still far above what you would otherwise expect from “anime MMORPGs.” But the visuals are by no means the only thing the game has to offer.
Especially the action-packed combo combat system provides plenty of excitement, whether in PvE or PvP scenarios. The game is still being developed and expanded with new updates. Features like guild PvP have been introduced, and the ongoing story surrounding the embodiment of evil is continuously intertwined, providing new challenges for the players every few months.
A major highlight in 2021 was the revamp of the engine, which significantly improved the graphics of the MMORPG.

Everything you need to know about the MMORPG Blade & Soul – in 2 minutes
The wide range of content is also due to Blade & Soul having been available only in Asia for a long time. The Western version has since caught up significantly and is now almost on par with the original.
Setting: Picturesque cuddly fantasy | Developer: IMCGAMES Co. | Platform: PC | Release Date: 03/26/2016 (Europe) | Model: Free2Play
Tree of Savior has been available on Steam for a while, and opinions are divided about this MMORPG. While many players cannot get into the picturesque cuddly graphics and the long grinding, others swear by the beautiful atmosphere and the light hack & slash feeling that arises while traversing the countless dungeons.
If you enjoy slaying enemies, calming goddesses, and plenty of large googly eyes, Tree of Savior should keep you entertained for a long time. As is usual in this genre, there is also a cash shop that makes your time in the game easier and unlocks certain bonuses like faster leveling or a larger inventory.

If you’ve had enough of conventional MMORPGs and are looking for something different and action-packed, then Elsword Online is a great choice. Although Elsword is an anime MMORPG, it is played as a side-scroller with 3D graphics.
The game’s story is continued in small comic sequences, and the increasing difficulty and the near-endless potential to constantly improve your character provides many hours of fun.

But Elsword has even more to offer. If you want, you can also try your hand at PvP and prove that your combos are much better than those of the enemies. This doesn’t only work in “1 against 1” but also group fights where tactics, planning, and quick reactions can turn around even a seemingly lost battle.
Thanks to the timeless manga graphics, this game still remains a real eye-catcher even after years.
Setting: Medieval anime fantasy | Developer: X-Legend | Platform: PC | Release Date: July 2014 | Model: Free2Play
Fans of larger game worlds in a complete anime/manga style are well advised to check out Aura Kingdom. The graphic style immediately reminds you of well-known series like “Sword Art Online” or similar representatives of the genre, and the game world is filled with many elements already seen in larger AAA MMORPGs. Besides the traditional “questing, killing, looting,” Aura Kingdom also has professions and mini-games like a trading card system with over 300 different cards.
While Aura Kingdom lacks a bit in dungeons and thus in challenging content, its interesting story makes up for this shortcoming.

If desired, players can also try their hand at professions and access resources for other players that could be valuable— or build up their own stock and ultimately turn them into weapons and armor.
Setting: Present | Developer: Naddic Games | Platform: PC | Release Date: 02/06/2018 (EU-Steam) | Model: Free2Play
Closers is an action anime MMO that presents a (for anime) typical base story: The Earth is being overrun by creatures from a foreign dimension and needs defenders to stand in the way of these beings. Regularly, new characters are added, providing a new perspective on the story and introducing fresh gameplay mechanics.
If you don’t want to deal with other players, you don’t have to. You can experience the episodic story of the characters completely alone if desired and learn more about the game and its background story.
However, if the rather weak NPC enemies are too easy for you, you can dive into PvP battles with full vigor. Thanks to the combat system reminiscent of beat ’em up games and the ability to execute combos and powerful special attacks, dynamic skirmishes with a variety of options arise. This is also complemented by a comprehensive skill system, as each character has individually expandable abilities, weapons, and armor— no two characters are alike.

Closers also benefits from its colorful manga visuals, with the relatively simple graphics still appearing convincing and coherent.
Where can I download the game? You can get the anime MMORPG Closers for free on the Steam page of the game.
SoulWorker
Setting: Post-apocalyptic | Developer: Lion Games Co., Ltd. | Platform: PC | Release Date: 02/26/2018 (EU-Steam) | Model: Free2Play
SoulWorker falls into the same category as Closers. 15 years ago, the world was plagued by dark creatures, and only a few people survived this apocalypse. Equipped with supernatural powers, the SoulWorkers are humanity’s last hope.
Players take on the role of such a SoulWorker, but they must first discover and unleash their powers. Depending on the chosen character (currently 4 classes), there are different abilities. Many contents can also be completed with a group of 4 players whose skills complement each other— creating cool combinations and a special fireworks effect.

Although the focus of SoulWorker is clearly on the PvE aspect with over 100 dungeons, there’s something for PvP fans to do – in a massive battle (an open PvP area), players can unleash their anime skills against each other.

The new MMORPG Rulers of the Sea promises a lot on paper. The historical MMO wants to take you into the year 1750 and let you do almost everything there. We at MeinMMO summarize.
What is Rulers of the Sea? The MMORPG takes nothing less as motivation than to give you the whole world as a playground. Set in the year 1750, this historical MMO seeks not only fun but also knowledge that you will need to influence the game world.
For this to work, you will not just level up in Rulers of the Sea. It’s, as with much in the game, much more complicated. You play not only one character but a whole family. Each member of your family can take on different jobs/careers, which are roughly the classes of the MMORPG.
So far, there are 40 of these jobs, ranging from the nasty pirate to the cunning spy to the lawyer who can defend the pirates in court. But to become a lawyer, the game first sends you to school.
When you level up, you essentially unlock a new course at the university. You must then actually attend this and pass a test to progress. These courses are supposed to provide you with real knowledge about the 18th-century world.
What features are included? Rulers of the Sea has a whole range of ideas targeting hardcore players:
The entire world as an open game world
Over 40 jobs from shipbuilder to lawyer
156 different factions and over 760 cities
Realistic day-night cycle
Historical setting that also aims to impart knowledge
A legal system where you can even end up in jail
Water and land battles over territories that can belong to players
The ability to play multiple characters within a family
Become a commander of your own crew, which you could even sell
Here you can watch the first trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d4ItDy074w
The world of the 18th century as an open-world sandbox
How does the game world work? A highlight of Rulers of the Sea is the game world, which encompasses the entire Earth and even takes time zones into account. The day-night cycle in the game adapts to the real world.
So when it is dark in Germany for us, it is also dark in in-game Germany, but not in in-game America. This should encourage players to join a nation in the game that is close to their own. Thus, the developers want to portray the various cultures of the world in the game.
For this to work properly, you can choose one of 156 factions in Rulers of the Sea, which divide the 760 cities among themselves. With a bit of luck, you might even start in your hometown in 1750.
Why is this important? The individual factions and cultures play a role not only because of the different times of day but also because there is no global economy in Rulers of the Sea. Similar to the beginning of the MMORPG New World, each city has its own economic system.
Since the cities are sometimes several hours apart by ship, it is essential that players take care to keep their own economy running. Or to specifically sabotage it if you want to earn your money as a trader in other regions.
Rulers of the Sea wants to give you the opportunity to play whatever you want.
The whaling should also be one of the possible jobs
The community is impressed, but there is a catch
What do fans say? Rulers of the Sea promises a lot but has not been able to show much yet. The game is currently still in a very early development phase, which does not make the team’s approach any less impressive.
User Khairinoa writes (via YouTube): “This is something I have always dreamed of in gaming. It sounds like a huge project. I would really like to see actual gameplay before I give financial support.”
Mrsparkle001 is also impressed but skeptical: “This looks incredibly good. I hope it can meet its ambitions. There have been many games with lofty goals that they never managed to achieve.”
Similarly, Bestevaer says: “What an extremely brilliant concept. I’m really looking forward to seeing where it ultimately leads.”
When is the game coming out? This is currently hard to say. In their roadmap, the developers have indicated the release for the fourth quarter of 2023, but so far this remains uncertain.
The game started in 2016 as a one-man project and only gained real momentum in 2019. However, the game has not yet been able to secure a major sponsor, which may make it difficult to implement the ambitious goals of Rulers of the Sea. However, we are curious and will keep you updated.
What do you think of Rulers of the Sea? Do you think the developers have set their goals too high, or do you consider the project realistic? Would you want to play such a historical MMORPG at all, or does the idea of having to go back to school for a level-up not appeal to you? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Escape from Tarkov is a nasty hardcore shooter without mercy. This typically attracts shooter nerds and extremely seasoned streamers. However, since the end of 2019, the shooter has been conquering the streaming platform Twitch around the turn of the year, and MeinMMO is trying to explain the phenomenon.
This is the situation:
Escape from Tarkov focuses on hardcore PvP action and explains very little to its players. At the beginning, every bullet you take can mean death, and almost everything you have stays where it is.
The shooter has been in development for over 5 years and remains a relatively small title on Twitch for most of the year.
Escape from Tarkov can be compared to a good, versatile tool. You are glad to have found it and can do things you are proud of. But you have to write your own story.
No one comes along and proposes a project or gives you a manual. Only your own drive moves you forward.
Tarkov does have a background story and tells a story on its maps and missions. But a main story with self-sacrificing characters and a tearful happy ending? Forget it.
The shooter throws you onto a map, gives you a target location, and if you die on the way … you lose everything from your inventory.
You only receive rudimentary information about what is happening around you:
There is no display of how many bullets are left in your magazine.
If you start a co-op game with friends, they have no special marking. They look like enemies.
No one in the game tells you where the target location is that you need to reach in the match.
Every shot can be deadly or injure you so badly that you cannot move far.
Aside from reaching the target location, looting is in the foreground. Weapons, money, keys, armor, crafting materials – especially at the start, you fill your inventory with stuff, and experienced players are pleased to find your fresh corpse with full pockets.
Playing passively, taking aggressive action, good communication, stealth maneuvers – every situation demands an individual solution and should be planned in advance. Additionally, there is the danger that your opponents might be trying the same.
Since you can lose everything at any time, a special kind of mental stress arises – the “Gear Fear.” Starting with your starting inventory in the shooter, the first hours in the game are characterized by ongoing stress.
If you complete the mission and also take a valuable haul back to your hideout, the game rewards you, and the feeling of completing the mission is unparalleled.
In the further course of the game, collection and gameplay missions for the in-game traders become important, as well as the expansion of your hideout. Additionally, you explore other maps with tougher opponents – including NPCs and real players with high-end equipment.
If you’re looking for a few tips to get started in the hardcore shooter, check it out here:
Escape from Tarkov relies on a wipe system that regularly resets players’ progress. Collected gear, completed missions, saved rubles – everything disappears, and only the starting inventory with some weapons, a bit of gear, and money remains.
In 2021, there were 2 wipes – one at the end of June and another on December 12.
At first glance, it sounds paradoxical. It’s so hard to keep your stuff together, and then it’s good when everything is gone? Yes, that’s exactly how it is.
Starting fresh with Tarkov is also something special – for regular players and new/returning players.
There are even NPC bosses on the maps with special properties and loot.
For returnees and beginners, “Gear Fear” kicks in. Tarkov is exciting, exhausting, absolutely unfair … and yet so attractive, fun, and rewarding.
For veterans who go through another wipe cycle, there’s a lot of fresh meat and usually new content.
Established PMCs (the player characters in Tarkov) rampage shortly after a wipe across the maps and snack every beginner who takes longer than 10 seconds to loot a corpse.
The time around wipes is often the most exciting of the entire Tarkov year. Also, because gameplay before wipes is somewhat dulled with special offers or events.
The beginner map after a wipe is the map “Customs.” A detailed guide including beginner routes can be found here:
Many popular streamers are expressive personalities. They openly show their feelings in front of thousands of viewers, and we get excited, rejoice over a victory, but also smile at an epic fail.
Tarkov teases out these emotions from its players. Streamers curse the game, celebrate every extraction, and due to the high difficulty and ongoing pressure in the match, watching is rarely boring.
In addition, there are Twitch Drops, where you can secure special items from December 29 to January 8, 2022. You can run Tarkov for up to 20 hours a day and receive up to 7 items daily.
In the latest Twitch Drops, every streamer can also participate and benefit from the developer gifts.
4. Reason – 25% Off on All Editions
Escape from Tarkov has been on sale since the end of December, and the discount is currently still ongoing (January 4, 2022).
You get the different game versions for 25% off, and the cheapest variant starts at €26.24 (via escapefromtarkov.com).
The versions differ in terms of starting equipment. The more expensive the package, the better you are already equipped for a start, having weapons, equipment, and a bit of money.
The starting inventory, by the way, returns after every wipe. However, you can also reset your account without a wipe and re-enter with your starting inventory at any time.
5. Reason – The Major Shooters Struggle with Issues
At the end of 2021, there is also another important reason for Tarkov’s strength – the weakness of 2 other major shooters.
Battlefield and Call of Duty are among the largest players on the shooter market, and both franchises are not doing well at the end of 2021:
CoD: Vanguard and Warzone are currently plagued by many bugs, and the release of Battlefield 2042 did not go as smoothly as hoped for many players.
Since the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov has already been able to establish a significant recognition, its boom was particularly strong this year due to the weaknesses of the competition.
Tarkov is a fascinating phenomenon that, by the way, is still theoretically in its beta phase. For the third consecutive year, the quirky shooter celebrates great successes around the turn of the year and emerges from this phase stronger each time.
Even the major shooters have already been impressed by the small title: With “Hazard Zone,” Battlefield 2042 has brought a mode that strongly resembles Tarkov, and CoD 2022 could, according to initial leaks, also bring a similar game mode.
It will be exciting to see where the journey for the interesting shooter goes. Until then, let’s continue cursing while losing a few inventories – due to gunfire from unclear directions.
Feel free to share your experiences with Escape from Tarkov and what you think is the reason for the hardcore shooter achieving such popularity year after year.

On December 12th, the new update 0.12.12 with a new map and a wipe was released. This led to a new peak in players. However, the update also brought some problems – such as unstable servers and related queues.
Additionally, all versions of Escape from Tarkov are occasionally available for a 25% discount. It’s best to keep an eye out for deals in the shop if you want to get started – at least as long as queues don’t hold you back.

The CES 2022 is one of the largest electronics fairs in the world. Sony is also there.But is Sony presenting new accessories for the PS5 at CES 2022? MeinMMO presents you with all the info about the event.
What is CES anyway? The Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, is one of the most important trade fairs for consumer electronics. Various manufacturers often present new products in the hardware sector here. Last year, for example, Nvidia officially presented its GeForce RTX 3060.
Manufacturer Sony also wants to present some new products at CES 2022. However, it is still unclear what will be shown. Some users hope that there will be news about the PS5.
When is the event supposed to take place? Sony’s press conference at CES 2022 is scheduled for January 5 at 2 AM. We at MeinMMO will report tomorrow morning whether Sony has presented important info about the PS5 or other devices.
Update 5.01.2022: Sony has indeed presented new accessories for the PS5. MeinMMO introduces you to PS VR2 and explains what you need to know:
Sony has a wide portfolio of hardware products beyond the PS5
This is the current situation: Some people find it unlikely that PlayStation will have a larger presence at CES 2022, as Sony has a wide range of products that could be presented. The largest areas include:
Televisions
Headphones and headsets
Cameras and corresponding accessories
Radios
Smartphones
What did Sony present in 2021? At CES 2021, Sony did not present any accessories for the PS5 either. For example, Sony introduced the SRS-RA3000 with new speakers and also released new TV devices that are compatible with the PS5.
What could come in 2022? This year, especially new televisions and new smartphones are expected to be presented. We expect 4K or 8K models that could be particularly suitable for the PS5. It is also likely that Sony could present the latest models of its smartphones.
What news about the PS5 can we expect at CES 2022?
What speaks for the PS5 at CES? The biggest announcement regarding the PS5 at the end of 2021 was the official presentation of colorful side plates for the PS5. Sony stated at that time that the side plates should be available in stores from January 2022. However, a specific date was not mentioned. There have been discussions within the community about side plates for some time now, such as in the case of “Customize My Plates,” which was forced to cease selling colorful side plates by Sony’s lawyers.
Therefore, we consider it quite possible that Sony will at least announce the start of sales for the side plates and possibly offer another surprise for interested gamers. Some users are still waiting for Sony to announce the successor to its VR system for the PS5. Whether this will happen at CES 2022 is pure speculation.
What else is going on with the PS5 in 2022? Otherwise, the situation for 2022 remains difficult as it was for 2021: next-gen consoles and other hardware are hardly available or only very expensive.
Dead by Daylight promises a lot of improvements for solo players and removes the most annoying gameplay mechanics. The times of button-mashing are over.
With its now 6 years behind it, Dead by Daylight has transformed from a little horror gem into a genre giant. In the 4vs1 killer game, the darkest horror licenses gather – but the gameplay still has some annoying traits. The developers have now revealed what is to be improved in the coming months and have taken a look into the future.
The most annoying mechanics of Dead by Daylight will likely disappear.
The end of the eternal button pressing
When playing as a survivor in the comfortable position of having a teammate keep the killer occupied for a long time, the gameplay at the generator can be rather frustrating. This is mainly because the left mouse button (or the corresponding button on the gamepad) must be held down continuously to keep working on the generator.
A new option in the upcoming patch will change that. Those who wish can now set options so that such actions become permanent with a single button press. You click once and then stay at the generator until you press the button again.
Of course, skill checks will still appear during this time, where you must press the action button in time.
However, this way you have one hand free when repairing the generator and do not have to keep the mouse button pressed for over a minute at a stretch.
In conjunction with this, there will also be the option that continuous actions (like healing, repairing generators, cleansing totems, etc.) automatically cancel when you start sprinting. It cannot happen that you “accidentally” get stuck at the generator when you actually wanted to escape because you have not gotten used to the new setting yet.
Wiggling was annoying – soon it could become much more relaxed.
The end of the annoying “wiggle spam”
Another annoying feature of Dead by Daylight is the “wiggling”. Survivors can struggle free when carried by the killer. This involves rapidly pressing two buttons in quick succession. This is not only not fun but also leads to finger pain after a while.
Therefore, the wiggle mechanic will also be transformed into skill checks, similar to generators or the second phase on the hook.
The skill check is, however, a permanent phenomenon while the survivor is being carried, with 2 hit zones – left and right. Each time the survivor successfully completes a skill check, the wiggle meter fills up further and the skill check goes in the opposite direction, where the second hit zone must be hit; back and forth, alternating.
Matchmaking should finally improve
Although Dead by Daylight has been using “SBMM” (Skill-Based Matchmaking) for quite some time now, there is still criticism regarding the matches. Often, the matches feel unfair, and when a player disconnects, all other survivor players are punished because they are likely to lose, and their rating will drop. Therefore, there are three main changes that the developers are working on.
Improvement for replacements: When a player leaves a lobby, Dead by Daylight tries to fill it as quickly as possible and often disregards quality, resulting in players joining who are far below or above the rating of the rest of the team. This will be changed in the future.
Improvement regarding disconnects: Disconnects in a game are still not well handled. Adjustments will be made so that the change in rating is not so severe when someone quickly loses due to a disconnect.
Easier matches after long breaks: Those who have taken some weeks or months off and then return to Dead by Daylight are not as skilled as before. The rating has not been affected by this so far, making the first matches hard and devastating. Over time, the rating should decrease due to inactivity, allowing for a more pleasant re-entry into the game.
More news about Dead by Daylight can be found here:
A little later – likely not until many months have passed – the developers want to make a series of improvements to support solo players on the survivor side. They are currently at a strong disadvantage. Depending on skill rating, there is a 15% difference in the likelihood that you will survive a match.
To offset this difference, they want to provide solo survivors with more information so that they feel more included in the team action. An idea is to have an icon on each survivor’s portrait that provides a rough idea of what the survivor is doing: such as whether they are working on a generator, opening a chest, or hiding in a locker.
However, this is only a concept at the moment, and the developers want to keep this discussion open and gather feedback from players.
The goal is not to give survivors more advantages and make the killers’ game harder – it is simply to balance out the disadvantage for solo players among survivors a little.
The first of these changes can be tested in the Steam version of Dead by Daylight starting tomorrow evening (01/05/2022), when the PTB is expected to go online.
What do you think of the proposed changes? Good and sensible ideas? Or is it unnecessary?

The Australian streamer Pestily is currently the most-watched streamer on Twitch by far. And that’s despite the fact that he usually has relatively few viewers. He became a star almost overnight – and this is not the first time it has happened. The reason is the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov.
This is the situation:
Pestily is a mid-sized streamer who attracts an average of 10,000 or fewer viewers over the year.
Since December 28, 2021, however, he has tens of thousands of viewers – peaking at over 244,000 viewers simultaneously.
Who is the streamer? Pestily is from Australia and has been in the business since 2017. The former soldier plays and showcases almost exclusively Escape from Tarkov, roughly two-thirds of the time.
On the analysis site sullygnome , Pestily is currently in 1st place on Twitch with almost 7.3 million viewer hours – ahead of Spanish YouTuber and streamer The Grefg and Twitch star xQc. Compared to xQc, Pestily has significantly more viewers in recent days:
xQc has an average of 76,026 viewers over the past 7 days and peaked at 120,397 (via sullygnome).
Pestily trumps him with an average of 114,957 viewers and a peak of 244,422 (via sullygnome).
Escape from Tarkov regularly causes a surge for Pestily
This is why he is in 1st place: Pestily is probably the most well-known and biggest streamer for Escape from Tarkov. The hardcore shooter has been giving out so-called “Twitch Drops” every year at the end of the year since 2019.
These reward players for watching streamers with in-game rewards. Therefore, interest in streamers like Pestily is particularly high at the end of the year. He was already able to fight his way to the top of Twitch overnight at the end of 2019 and in early 2020 for the first time.
What’s happening in EFT right now? The developers regularly “wipe” the game, resetting everything to 0. This last happened on December 12, 2021, when the new update 0.12.12 with a new map was released. Together with a 25% price reduction and the drops until January 8, this is currently causing an increase in players.
The player numbers are so high that there are sometimes queues of 86,000 players (via GameStar.de). According to the CEO, however, this is not only due to the surge – they expected that (via Twitter.com).
Rather, the huge update has brought some technical issues that are significantly contributing to the overload of the servers. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of fans and many well-known streamers like shroud and summit1g are currently playing the hardcore shooter. If you also want to get started, we have some tips for you here:
In Pokémon GO today, on January 4th, the Spotlight Hour with Monozu starts. We will show you everything about Shiny, bonuses, and the start time of the event. This way, you are optimally prepared for the hour.
What is a Spotlight Hour? Every Tuesday, an event of this kind starts in Pokémon GO. For one hour, you can find the Pokémon in the wild that is in the spotlight almost everywhere in the game. This is accompanied by a bonus that can give you more candies, experience points, or stardust.
Today, the Pokémon Monozu from the fifth generation is in the spotlight. It is a Psychic-type Pokémon and can evolve into Mitodos and then into Zytomega.
Spotlight Hour with Monozu – Start, Bonuses, and Shiny
When does the event start? The event kicks off as always at 6:00 PM local time. The Spotlight Hour will then be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM local time.
What bonuses are there? During the event, you can find Monozu almost everywhere in the wild. If you light a incense, it mostly spawns Monozu as well. This event is accompanied by a candy bonus. You will receive double the amount of candies for sending Pokémon.
Keep in mind that the candy bonus applies to all Pokémon species that you send, not just Monozu.
Can you catch Shiny Monozu? No, so far you cannot find or catch Shiny Monozu in Pokémon GO.
Is the Spotlight Hour with Monozu worth it?
It is this strong: We have looked at the battle values of Monozu and the evolutions Mitodos and Zytomega. Unfortunately, none of the Pokémon is strong enough to prove themselves in PvP against other trainers or in PvE against raid bosses.
As a Psychic attacker, Zytomega is in direct competition with Mewtwo and Shadow Mewtwo, which secure the top two spots by a wide margin. Therefore, Monozu, Mitodos, and Zytomega are more for collectors who want to complete their Pokédex.
This could be worthwhile: If you collected Pokémon from previous events and have not sent them yet, you can use the event and focus on the candy bonus.
This way, you can also use the event to do raids and send weak legendary Pokémon to gather coveted candies.
The tough survival shooter Escape from Tarkov comes with a high level of difficulty and is a real challenge, especially for beginners. MeinMMO has 13 tips for you, so you don’t get frustrated in the first hours.
What kind of game is this? In the hardcore survival shooter Escape from Tarkov (“EFT” or “Tarkov”), you play as a soldier of a private military company fighting for survival in a sealed-off city.
Every match with your main character becomes a real challenge, as you can die very quickly and lose almost everything you are carrying.
The game started several years ago in alpha phase and is currently in a closed beta, accessible to all pre-orders.
What is the goal of the game? It is about surviving for a long time to continuously improve your equipment and character. You choose a map, get dropped somewhere on the map, and must reach an extraction point while looting and surviving along the way.
It somewhat resembles a battle royale but does not push for an end to the match as strongly. There is no shrinking danger zone that forces you to eliminate all opponents on the map over time.
It feels more like an adventure in a survival sandbox, demanding tactical approaches and a great degree of caution. The focus lies on realism. Every hit can mean the end – for you, but also for your opponents.
EFT is brutal, and the first rounds can quickly turn into a disaster without proper preparation.
However, with these tips, you should be able to survive the first steps relatively unscathed. Even if something doesn’t work out, stay calm and go for the next round. With each match, your chances of survival will increase.
Tip 1: Be ready to die
What kind of tip is that? Escape from Tarkov hardly forgives mistakes, and you won’t survive the first rounds.
Especially when you try it solo for the first time, the game will get you. There is no HUD, instead a bunch of buttons for the simplest information, and not even the doors are easy to operate.
The entry is really extremely tough and will require a lot of patience from you. Stick with it, play a few rounds, try to cautiously approach the gameplay, and then the first successes will come.
But don’t expect miracles in the beginning, rather deadly fire from an unclear direction.
At the beginning, your hideout is dark and damp. However, with some Rubles, you can nicely furnish the bunker.
Tip 2: Examine everything closely
What is there to see? Tarkov offers not just the gameplay on the various maps, but also smaller elements that you shouldn’t overlook.
Get an overview of the options and feel free to go through all the menus. Here are some things to discover:
Your hideout
Here you can build various devices and workbenches to improve your soldier.
Various traders
There are several traders who offer you equipment, weapons, or consumables.
Your character
Get an overview of your inventory. Even with the standard edition, you already have a few useful items that you can examine.
When you start the game for the first time, it takes 20 minutes until you can play as a looter, but more on that later. In this time, you can familiarize yourself with the controls and have a look at everything.
With the traders, you will gain respect over time. Complete quests or buy something and they will become your best friends.
Tip 3: Accept quests from traders
What quests are there? Quests play a significant part in progressing in Escape from Tarkov and are available from traders.
Completing a mission not only gives you experience points and money, but you also gain favor with the respective traders and receive some items for your inventory.
At the start, you can take on three quests:
Debut at Prapor
You need to eliminate 5 Scavengers (looters, “Scavs”) at the customs area and hand over 2 MP-133 shotguns to the arms dealer.
Shortage at Therapist
The doctor wants you to find 3 Salewa first aid kits and then hand over 3 of these kits to her.
Introduction at Mechanic
Find the camp of “Jaeger” on the Woods map
Receive Jaeger’s message
Give the message to the Mechanic
As your character levels up, you unlock more quests and thus level the traders who then provide you with further advantages.
Due to the missions, the maps “Woods” and “Customs” are considered good maps for beginners. You can find the corresponding map guides here:
What is so important about that? Learning the controls is an important foundation for success when starting a new game.
Tarkov offers a bunch of buttons for movement options, stances, and important information that you would typically see in the HUD of other shooters.
Additionally, many keys are double assigned. For example, if you want to change the firing mode of your current rifle, you press [B] by default. However, if you want to check which firing mode is currently activated, you need to press [B] + [Left-Alt].
So, make a list of the most important keys and keep it next to your monitor. You will need them.
Tip 5: Play as a Scav
What are those character types? Scavengers (SCAVs) offer you the opportunity to join a game without risk and still loot something for your account.
Your loadout consisting of weapons and equipment is randomly determined, and you spawn at one of the Scav spawns on the map. You can play the game normally without having to worry about losing anything from your gear.
Especially at the beginning, it makes sense to play a few rounds as a Scav first. The cooldown after each round is 20 minutes, but there’s hardly a better way to get to know the game from the start.
By the way, the Scavs you encounter on the map don’t necessarily have to be players. Scavengers can also be AI-controlled.
You can start the game risk-free as a Scav or with your main character.
Tip 6: Use the insurances
What insurances are available? When you join the game with your main character, you can insure items that are particularly important to you. You will get these items back, even if you are eliminated.
However, there are two catches. Firstly, it takes nearly a day or even longer to get your items back, and secondly, you only receive the items if no other enemy has looted them.
At the beginning, you will hardly have items that interest others but are very valuable to you. So insure your good items and hope that they are not too useful for your killer.
Tip 7: Keep a map ready
Why do I need an extra map? The in-game map only works if you actually have a map of the area you are playing in.
However, knowledge of the map is necessary to reach the extraction points strategically or to loot specific locations or crates.
Search the internet for the map you want to loot in the next match and keep it open on your phone, tablet, or on a second screen to check your position at any time.
Tip 8: Plan your approach
How should I plan that? Don’t just go in any direction and search for loot and the exit by chance. Plan your route as best as you can and follow that path consistently.
When you spawn, look around, take your map, and try to figure out where you are. Many maps you can find online show not only the extraction points but also crates, bosses, POIs, and everything else that is important.
With a predetermined route, you have a bit of security and can set goals. First reach House 1 and loot Crate A, then move to the next point, and so on. This way, you know roughly what to expect and when you will reach the exit.
The standard equipment is meager but already quite valuable. So take good care of your stuff.
Tip 9: Don’t overestimate yourself and improve
What does that mean? As a Scav or with your main character, you’re often outmatched by players who have been in Tarkov longer. Avoid unnecessary encounters and play to win to progress.
On the map, you can find particularly worthwhile crates or spots with excellent loot. However, veterans know these places too, and they know them better than you.
Avoid dangerous areas. Play in a way that ensures you can reach the extraction point relatively safely and gradually level up your character.
Once you have better weapons, ammunition, skills, and equipment, you can go after the bigger fish. Until then, extreme caution is advised!
Tip 10: Don’t engage in long firefights
Why are longer firefights so dangerous? If you engage in a prolonged firefight with an opponent, your chances of survival decrease significantly compared to when you always try to surprise your enemies.
“Shoot & Scoot”, that is, shoot and run, is actually a principle of artillery units, but it applies here just the same.
As soon as an opponent knows roughly where you are, they can pop up at any time and finish you off. The reverse is also true, but you have much better chances of catching opponents who aren’t expecting you.
So, if you get hit and can still somewhat walk – look for the exit. Also, if you couldn’t finish an opponent after a firefight.
The weapons in Tarkov can be heavily modified. But at the beginning, the guns don’t look that crazy.
Tip 11: Stay alert while looting
What can happen while looting? Whether you have eliminated an opponent or a Scav, you are never alone. An enemy can come around the corner at any time and take you out while you’re searching through foreign bags.
Always remember: You are never alone! If you eliminate a player, another member of their group will likely come to check the area. If you eliminate a Scav, “vengeance Scavs” can spawn, who will inspect the area around their fallen comrade.
In addition to the allies of your victims, enemies are also often attracted by noise. Unsilenced shots are audible over long distances, and foes could come from all directions to investigate what is happening.
So always be on your guard and perhaps wait a little longer before you start searching the warm corpse. Maybe a camper is already sitting somewhere, just waiting to search two fresh inventories.
Tip 12: Turn every Ruble twice
Why be frugal? Your character will improve with experience points, but you can also view your bank balance as in-game progress.
Every Ruble in your account represents equipment or new ammunition that you can use in the upcoming rounds. Think carefully about your expenses and whether it is worth it.
Keep track of how much your equipment is worth and find a balance. If you carry an expensive weapon with your main character, also buy expensive ammunition; otherwise, the good weapon becomes less useful.
As long as you still have space in your stash, definitely collect everything! If it gets tight, break down the found weapons, and take the 1-slot items you can sell to the traders.
Play together and hunt some SCAVs.
Tip 13: Bring friends
Escape from Tarkov offers an intense experience and will raise your pulse to unhealthy heights from time to time. The game, especially for beginners, thrives on its “Gear Fear” – the constant fear of losing everything. And shared suffering is known to be only half as bad.
With friends, this experience is even more fun and the frustration of dying is usually alleviated a little by silly comments from your buddies. You can’t buy the game on Steam, but the in-game features are more than sufficient for a smooth coop experience.
If you also have some tips for other readers or questions about mechanics, feel free to leave us a comment.
