There are new quests.
The simulated teammates now use healing spells more intelligently.
Some high-level enemies have additional abilities.
There is now an item to reset a dungeon.
Arcanists now have a new channeling spell.
You can find the complete patch notes with all the new features on Steam. Here is one of the trailers for Erenshor:

Erenshor: Trailer for the Singleplayer MMORPG on Steam
Here you are guaranteed to be the best player
What kind of game is Erenshor? The new role-playing game from Burgee Media aims to offer the experience of classic MMORPGs but without other players. Instead, numerous so-called SimPlayers populate the world.
These NPCs simulate the behavior of other players and are available when you need a group for dungeons, quests, and boss fights. When you go offline, the world also pauses. So you can experience the adventure at your own pace. This is very well received by many players: Erenshor ranks on Steam with 1,326 ratings at a strong 94 percent positive.
An IT engineer accidentally lost a fortune of 752 million euros on a landfill years ago. Since then, he has been desperately trying to recover his wealth. After suffering a defeat in court, there is now a glimmer of hope.
The lead image is a symbolic representation.
How did the loss occur? Last year, MeinMMO reported for the first time about James Howells, who has been searching for a lost hard drive for years. The drive contains the key to approximately 8,000 Bitcoins that he accumulated between 2009 and 2013. The current value: about 752 million euros (you can find a converter, for example, at btc-echo.de).
The hard drive ended up in the trash due to a mix-up. Howells and his wife only realized the mistake when it was too late. During his desperate search for the drive, robot dogs were even employed at times.
Why do tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg keep wearing the same clothes?
A live-action tech thriller from real life
What comes next in the adventure? As bbc.com reports, several production companies have approached James Howells to turn his story into a film. After negotiations ended, the Los Angeles-based entertainment company LEBUL was awarded the project, planning a docuseries, a podcast, and additional short film content to document the Welshman’s mission.
The series titled “The Buried Bitcoin: The Real-Life Treasure Hunt of James Howells” is intended to not only highlight Howells’ loss, his years-long search, and the legal battle but also explore the beginnings of Bitcoin.
Reese Van Allen of LEBUL commented on the project as follows: “This is not just content. It is a live-action tech thriller involving nearly a billion dollars – and LEBUL is proud to present it to the world.”
Filming was scheduled for the summer. The documentary is set to be released in October or November.
Howells hopes that thanks to the documentary, he might still have the opportunity to search for his lost treasure. However, due to the years of upheaval and weather conditions, it seems quite unlikely that the data stored on the hard drive can still be utilized today.
The German Twitch scene plans a German counterpart for OnlyFangs in WoW Classic for 2026. One of the streamers does not want to comply with the conditions set by Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe because it violates his rules.
What is OnlyFangs? OnlyFangs is the guild name of an American streamer guild that played World of Warcraft in hardcore mode as a major Twitch project in 2025. The streamers competed to achieve as many raid successes as possible with only one life per character.
The project was extremely popular on Twitch and single-handedly pushed the WoW category on Twitch. Under the leadership of Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller, a German edition of the WoW project is set to emerge in 2026. The Twitch streamer invited HandOfBlood, among others, to become part of the project.
However, he made it a condition for his participation that he would only join if he received both the guild leadership and raid leadership positions. Otherwise, the goal of defeating the raid Zul’Gurub would not be achievable. Now another streamer responds that he will not allow this demand.

Violates Starfleet Rule 187
Who is against HandOfBlood’s demand? The Twitch streamer Giacomo “Metashi12” Curci, who was also invited to the project by Papaplatte, does not want to allow HandOfBlood to enforce his will. In a livestream on Twitch (available in a clip on YouTube), Metashi12 reacted to the demands and rejected them.
He explains that this violates the “Starfleet Rule 187,” which he likely invented himself. This rule states that a person cannot hold both raid leadership and guild leadership positions at the same time because otherwise they would be “emotionally compromised.”
The implication is that it is better not to combine the positions, as conflicts in the raid should ideally be resolved by a third party. This would not be possible in the case of HandOfBlood holding both positions.
What else does Metashi12 reveal? The Twitch streamer reveals in the livestream that more and more big streamers are interested in World of Warcraft and the hardcore guild project. According to him, the project is “coming sooner or later”.
HandOfBlood has also commented on the subject in another livestream. A clip on YouTube shows that he confirmed to Papaplatte once again that he would be involved should his demands not be met. His statements were merely part of the typical role-playing expected in the project.
Team Xbox has detailed its handheld: the ROG Xbox Ally. The price of the two variants is steep. Nevertheless, the new platform is already sold out worldwide.
What do I need to know about the ROG Xbox Ally? Microsoft’s new handheld is expected to be available from October 16, 2025, and is currently offered in 2 variants:
ROG Xbox Ally X with 24 GB RAM and 1 TB storage, for about 900 euros
ROG Xbox Ally with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, for about 600 euros
However, the more expensive X variant does not only rely on more SSD storage and additional RAM, it also features a more powerful processor, additional ports, and a higher battery capacity.
Both variants share display parameters, Wi-Fi 6E (2 x 2) + Bluetooth 5.4, the dimensions (the X version is a few grams heavier), and the accessories (65 W charger and stand). You can find the exact details of the two devices on xbox.com.
With the ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft is taking on the Steam Deck; here is the trailer for the OLED version:

More expensive than a console, still sold out
How is the device being received? Apparently very well. On the official X channel, Microsoft officials explain that the ROG Xbox Ally X is already sold out in all Xbox stores due to the high pre-order requests. You may still find it at local retailers.
However, the high price is deterring some gaming enthusiasts. Industry insider Jason Schreier, who is well-connected, writes:
I do not know if the new ROG Xbox Ally is worth 600 or 1,000 US dollars, but I know that I have used the Steam Deck OLED (550/650 US dollars) almost daily for the last two years and it runs almost everything I want to play perfectly.
Currently, you can get the Steam Deck in the LCD version and 256 GB for as low as 335.20 euros instead of 419 euros. A PlayStation 5 can be had for 500 euros in your living room. An Xbox Series X for just under 600 euros.
Every year, numerous new movies are released, some of which achieve great success at the box office. But which films have earned the most money to date? Let’s take a closer look.
No matter how good or bad the films are, at the end of the day, the producing studios aim to generate as much revenue as possible. For this ranking, we looked at the 10 most successful films of all time, adjusted for inflation.
This way, old films can be compared with new ones. This is relevant because the value of money changes and movie tickets become more expensive. If you disregard inflation, films released before 2000 hardly appear in the ranking.
When inflation is considered, the picture looks different. Therefore, for each placement, you will find the box office gross at release and what it would be today – the latter value is decisive for the ranking. All numbers refer to inflation as of 2024.

The Beginning of the Star Wars Sequels in the Trailer: The Awakening of the Force
In 2015, the long-awaited first part of the new Star Wars trilogy was released. It was no surprise that the film was a massive hit. The story introduced new characters like Rey, Finn, and Poe, while also bringing back some old figures. The actual plot was heavily influenced by Episode 4, which led to some criticism.
Generally, after the initial hype following the release, fans were disillusioned. Many had hoped for something different, something newer from Star Wars, but ultimately received just a rehash of what they already knew. However, this did not diminish the film’s success; it ranks 10th with an impressive figure.

A large asteroid will fly past Earth and the Moon in 2032. There is a low chance it could even collide. NASA has released a possible solution that involves the use of nuclear weapons.
What asteroid is this? The asteroid 2024 YR4 was first discovered in December 2024 by the “Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System” (ATLAS) and has been tracked since then. In February 2025, NASA announced that it does not pose a significant threat to Earth in 2032 and beyond (science.nasa.gov).
However, in June 2025, the chances of a collision with the Moon rose to 4.3%. Therefore, NASA has developed a possible strategy that involves hitting the asteroid with a nuclear weapon. Just like in the movie Armageddon from 1998, this is very likely not how it will actually happen, but NASA already has a concrete plan.

In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?
What is the plan? On September 15, 2025, a document was published outlining some strategies for defending against the asteroid. One of these options would be to destroy the asteroid with a nuclear bomb.
With an explosive yield of 334 kt (kilotons), the asteroid could be destroyed – at least, under optimal conditions. This means the bomb would have to explode at an altitude of 12 meters above the surface. The document states that there is “no margin for error” if the plan involves this bomb.
A nuclear weapon with 1 megaton allows for a bit more margin for error, as the height of burst (HOB) is at 85 meters.
NASA’s plan will take several years
What is NASA’s timeline? In the document, NASA also addresses the timeline. The officials note that the best chances for a reconnaissance probe would be at the end of 2028. The so-called “nuclear robust destruction mission” has a launch window between the end of 2029 and 2031.
There has also been discussion about diverting the asteroid. However, analyses suggest this is rather impractical. Another option would be “kinetic destruction,” where an AI spacecraft is supposed to destroy the asteroid through a collision. This method has also been calculated in the document and could, according to the authors, reliably destroy the asteroid.
In addition to discovering asteroids, new minerals are also occasionally discovered. On Mars, scientists have found iron hydroxysulfate, which differs from previously known minerals due to its unique crystal structure and high thermal stability: Scientists have discovered a new mineral on Mars and what it means for research

On September 26, 2025, 2 European teams played in League of Legends for a spot in the semifinals of the LEC 2025 Summer Playoffs. The German ADC Upset faced the French prodigy Caliste.
What a match it was! This weekend, the final of the LEC Playoffs 2025 will take place. The team G2, led by midlaner Caps, has already qualified for the final on September 29, 2025. On September 26, 2025, Fnatic played against the French team Karmine Corp.
The German player Upset faced off against Caliste on the bot lane, who, despite his young age, is considered an ADC prodigy and was also named the LEC Rookie of the Year (via YouTube). Both teams were not only playing for entry into the semifinals of the LEC 2025 Summer Playoffs but also for the last slot for Europe at the Worlds.
Fnatic immediately showed why they had participated in every World Championship since 2017.

Das ist LoL – Einmal richtig ehrlich erklärt
Fnatic showed they can change their tactics after a loss
How did the games go? The first match started quite slowly. Both teams played cautiously, trying not to make mistakes. Although Karmine Corp secured objectives, Fnatic always managed to grab something in exchange.
While Karmine Corp took a herald, Fnatic secured the dragon and got a kill. This allowed Fnatic to gradually build pressure, which led to victory after nearly 39 minutes.
In the second match, they were able to build and extend that pressure. Fnatic demonstrated beautiful team fights in both matches, where particularly their positioning and calmness were on point. Upset specifically showed with his Zeri and a score of 12/0/3 how dominant he can be in applying pressure. After 33 minutes, they secured the win here as well.
The third match initially looked similar. Fnatic stuck to their strategy, but Karmine Corp returned to the game with a strong team fight starting around minute 25. They broke Fnatic’s calm and even managed to secure 4 dragons. Although they briefly fell behind, they countered Fnatic, who had taken an Elder Dragon.
In a final baron fight, Karmine Corp demonstrated that they could also prepare and execute impressive team fights. With the won baron, they achieved their first victory. It was now 2:1 for Fnatic.
Fnatic was not discouraged by the third match. Early on, they played aggressively, and Oscarinin especially showed with his Gwen how dominant he could lead the lane. This offensive playstyle continued throughout the game, allowing Fnatic to maintain a solid gold advantage. They did not relinquish control, and as they made few errors, they won the match and thus the round.
The German ADC Upset demonstrated strong performance throughout the match, securing a total of 23 kills while only dying twice in the third match.
What’s next? Fnatic secured a place in the semifinals with their victory and also a spot at this year’s Worlds, the World Championship in LoL. Today, on September 27, 2025, they will face Moviestar KOI.
The Twitch and YouTube streamer Ludwig Ahgren was invited to a race in F4. He is training with a racing simulator.However, his first attempt ends in an accident.
What kind of race is it? In May 2025, streamer Ludwig Ahgren announced that he would participate in the GP Explorer 3, an F4 race in France. The race is organized by French influencer Lucas “Squeezie” Hauchard and takes place from October 3 to 5, 2025.
Other streamers from the international scene are also participating in the race. Ludwig will be racing as Team America together with YouTuber Michael Reeves.
Ludwig is looking forward to the event, even though he doubts his own driving skills and thinks he doesn’t really belong in an F4. However, he also sees it as a great opportunity to gain new experiences.
To prepare optimally for the F4 race, the streamer started to develop his skills in a racing simulator. However, his first attempt made the community question the correctness of his participation.

These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google
“I am nervous for him”
Why is the community doubting? One of Ludwig’s first training sessions took place in a racing simulator. He chose the Circuit Bugatti in Le Mans as the track, where the track record is 1:42 minutes. The Twitch streamer wants to beat the track record in training since the F4 race also takes place on this track.
In a clip on Reddit, you can see a clip of Ludwig driving in his racing simulator. About 30 minutes have passed since the stream started, and he already manages to have his first accident.
The streamer spins out of the curve and crashes into the barrier. The virtual car hits the obstacle so hard that it clips out of the map and spins in circles. Ludwig “plays” the accident in his face cam. He does it so convincingly that he damages the camera so that it no longer shows an image.

Trekkies can expect a new game where they take command of a legendary spaceship and its crew from the Star Trek universe. However, one thing should not change according to fans: the (lack of) promotion of a certain crew member.
Which game is it? It is Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown. This is a story-driven survival strategy game that makes you the captain of the U.S.S. Voyager. Alongside the Enterprise, Voyager is probably the most famous spaceship from Star Trek.
There is now a trailer showcasing the first gameplay. Among other things, it shows how crew management and the upgrading of Voyager work, as well as spaceship battles and decisions you will make.
You can see the first gameplay trailer for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown here:
Start video
Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown zeigt erstes Gameplay
What is the game about? It tells the story of the TV series Star Trek: Voyager. As captain, however, you are allowed to make your own decisions and thus deviate from the path of the series. On the official Steam page for the game, it says:
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Captain Janeway had made a different decision? If a key crew member had taken a different path? Or how it would have ended if the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager had used Borg technology to increase their chances of survival?
In one aspect, fans of the series want to remain faithful
What do fans say about the trailer? They are already eager for the game, even though many miss the music from the series. Although they get the opportunity to rewrite the story of the U.S.S. Voyager and her crew, one thing should remain the same for many fans: Starfleet officer Harry Kim, played by Garrett Wang in the series, must not receive a promotion under any circumstances.
For example, ellbee4325 commented on the trailer on YouTube: “There should better be an achievement for completing the game without promoting Kim – otherwise, there will be an uprising.”
On Reddit, fans are also sure that Kim must not receive a promotion.
LordCaptain imagines a possible scenario: “‘Hello Support? I’m trying to promote Harry Kim and every time my game crashes.‘ – ‘Thank you for your call. Your account has been permanently banned.’”
Other fans, however, want to be lenient. Sp33ddialz writes on YouTube: “Change History [Note: This is one of the game’s taglines], understood! A Rear Admiral Kim comes right away!”
When is the game coming out? There is currently no release date for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown. The game will be released for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
For the first time, you can obtain Mega Camerupt in Pokémon GO. We will show you how to make the most of the Raid Day.
When is the event? The Raid Day featuring Mega Camerupt takes place on Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This is the first opportunity to obtain Mega Camerupt in the game.
What kind of Pokémon is this? Mega Camerupt is the Mega Evolution of Camerupt, which evolves from Camaub. All three evolutions have the Fire and Ground types. With this Mega Evolution, only three more Mega Evolutions are missing that are not yet in the game but already have a Mega Evolution in the main series games – until the release of Pokémon Legends Z-A.
Currently, only the two Mega Evolutions of Mewtwo and that of Metagross are still missing. However, Mega Metagross has already been announced in Pokémon GO.

Raid Day with Mega Camerupt – Content and Tips
What bonuses are available at the event? The following bonuses are active during the event:
increased chance to obtain a Shiny Camerupt from Mega Raids
up to 5 additional free Raid Passes from Gym Discs
the limit for Remote Raids is raised to 20 (from September 28, 2025, at 2:00 AM to September 29, 2025, at 5:00 AM)
Note that you will only receive one additional Raid Pass if you have used the current one.
What content is available in the event ticket? For $4.99 (which is likely around €5.49), you can purchase an event ticket. This will grant you the following bonuses that are active during the event:
up to 8 additional Raid Passes from Gym Discs
increased chance for XL Candy in raids
50% more experience points in raids
double Stardust from raids
How to obtain Mega Camerupt? If you defeat the boss in a raid, you can then catch the regular version of Camerupt. You will also receive Mega Energy for the evolution. Once you have gathered enough of it, you can trigger the evolution with a Camerupt.
To initiate the Mega Evolution for the first time, you need 200 Mega Energy.
Which counters are effective against the monster? Due to its type combination, Mega Camerupt has only a few weaknesses. It has a simple weakness to Ground-type moves and a double weakness to Water-type moves. Therefore, you should primarily use attackers with these types when challenging the monster.
If you have very strong Water attackers at a high level, you can defeat the boss solo. If your Pokémon are weaker, bring at least one other trainer with you. If possible, bring along the best counters against Mega Camerupt.
Which Mega Evolution is recommended for the event? If you activate a Mega Evolution of the Fire or Ground type and catch a Camerupt after a successful raid, you will receive an additional candy, benefit from an increased chance for XL candies, and earn more experience points. The Pokémon does not need to be in your active battle team.
To receive the additional rewards after a raid, you can use one of the following Pokémon:
Mega Charizard X
Mega Charizard Y
Mega Houndoom
Mega Blaziken
Mega Aerodactyl
Mega Aggron
Mega Tyranitar
Mega Diancie
Which buddy is worthwhile during the event? If you have Pokémon that can only evolve by having them as your buddy and then completing a certain number of raids, you can use the event for that and set the corresponding Pokémon as your buddy.
How should you proceed during the event? You should remember to prepare strong counters and activate a suitable Mega Evolution before the raids. While active in the event, you should proceed as follows:
visit a gym
defeat Mega Camerupt
spin the gym disc to receive another Raid Pass
head to the next gym and repeat the process
September is slowly coming to an end. However, in the last phase of the month, you can still expect several events, raids, and additional content in the game. If you want to know what those are and when they take place, feel free to take a look at our overview with all events in September 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Battlefield 6 takes Portal to a new level and allows you to build your own unique game modes. A YouTuber has now shown what these could look like.
Who is it about?
jackfrags is a well-known YouTuber with over 4.25 million subscribers, who covers various shooters in his videos.
He does not have a single game that he consistently focuses on, instead he provides insights into the various shooters on the market, including The Finals, ARC Raiders, and Battlefield 6.
In his videos, jackfrags does not give tips or showcase strong loadouts. Instead, he provides a platform for new and old games or special game modes and presents them to his audience.
His latest video on YouTube revolves around the Portal mode of Battlefield 6. The developers of the upcoming shooter had him test 7 different game modes within Portal that do not represent a classic “Battlefield experience,” but could be entirely unique games.

Zombies, Only Up! and Counter-Strike in Battlefield 6
What is Portal anyway? In the Portal mode of Battlefield 6, players can customize known game modes individually and host them on separate servers with their own rules. They can change the map by moving constructions or flags and setting special parameters. Additionally, players can create their own game modes that follow their own rules.
What does the YouTuber show about the Portal mode? Within Portal, jackfrags was able to test 7 different game modes – some of which had nothing to do with classic Battlefield gameplay.
The first mode was a kind of Counter-Strike on the map “Dust2”. Here, 5 players per team compete against each other. There are attackers and defenders trying to plant a bomb at one of 2 spots or prevent it. There are no respawns and different weapons must be purchased and are lost upon death.
Another mode resembles the Steam hit “Only Up!”, where players must climb higher over various objects until they reach a goal. On Twitch, there were races between streamers trying to reach the top as quickly as possible.

During the video, jackfrags also shows a kind of “zombie mode”, as known from Call of Duty. Players must defend against waves of enemies and can buy additional weapons and upgrades during the run.
Then the YouTuber showed a PvP mode where you climb over the rooftops of Kairos using parkour techniques to grab and extract a supply drop. He also showcased a mode where players compete against each other in fighter jets in a race, flying through rings in the air and avoiding obstacles.
How does the community react to the video? Many players are amazed by what jackfrags shows in the video. A phrase that comes up particularly often is “Game Changer.” Some users write that Portal in this form could change not only Battlefield but gaming as a whole.
Pokémon GO focuses not only on online gameplay but especially on playing together on-site. We spoke with the Pokémon GO team about this in an interview.
Real PokéStops and small battle arenas were set up around, and there were also increased spawns in the game around the truck. For Niantic, Mark van Lommel from the Pokémon GO team tells us, the truck is an opportunity to bring on-site events to places that might not qualify for a GO Fest.
“This is something we’ve been envisioning for a while, and we’re very glad that we could realize it this summer and finish the fantastic tour here in Cologne during gamescom,” says van Lommel: “We are always looking for ways to make live events and the Pokémon GO experience more accessible to trainers.”

Country manager Mona Frühauf also shares: “The main thought really is to bring community feeling to all cities, including countries like the Netherlands, where we haven’t been for a long time.”
But this approach goes beyond the truck, van Lommel says: “In addition to all the official event series organized by the Pokémon GO team, we also have thousands of community ambassadors around the world who organize local meetings for community days.”
And a community ambassador is Eugen, who was also there in Cologne. He told us what his work looks like.

Campfire and community work are important for forming groups
What is a community ambassador? Often, community ambassadors are themselves fans and players who are especially committed and, for example, organize meetups via the Campfire app.
That was the case with Eugen as well: “In Cologne, we had no one who reliably created meetups. Those are events where people agree to meet for events in the game to play together. I just did that, even before I was a community ambassador,” Eugen recounts. But at some point, the idea came to apply – successfully.
“The first meetup only had three people: my wife, me, and a friend. Today, we are many more, and at large events, over 300 people,” says Eugen.

Many people establish themselves long-term and keep appearing to conquer challenging raids or even the particularly tough Gigantamax bosses: “In Cologne, three-quarters are regular players who you see more often and a quarter, I never see,” estimates Eugen.
For him, organizing his community means about ten hours of effort per month, says Eugen. His work includes creating meetups, communicating with players, and ultimately organizing the actual meeting – continuously. This creates an active community that wants to form large groups regularly.
Extra effort comes when large events are approaching: “For the GO Fest, for example, we made internal community buttons, 400 pieces. I think it took about ten to twenty hours that week, with preparation, gathering information, and informing people.”
The effort pays off, Eugen says. He is glad to have an active group that understands each other: “You feel happy to see the happy faces. From older, from younger, from all age groups, all types and characters.”
This leads to acquaintances and friendships that also make it easier to handle certain tasks like Gigantamax: “At the first Gigantamax meetup, I was surprised because the number of people was much higher. They knew that we couldn’t do this alone, in groups of four,” Eugen remembers: “People were desperate because they were surprised.” Dynamax battles require real strategies and discussions among each other: “You can’t just click along. You have to prepare for it.” But that, in turn, also fostered the exchange among each other.
Mona Frühauf agrees: “That was definitely a goal of the feature. We understand, of course, that some are frustrated if it’s a feature that might need a bit more people. But if we always do the exact same thing, it becomes boring,” says the country manager: “It’s cool that they are organizing themselves. And we have heard from many, even smaller groups, who have still organized themselves.”
But it is also clear: Not everyone has a community ambassador in the city or even an active group nearby. What do you do in such a case? “My tip would be to use Campfire, even if it’s a separate app,” says Eugen: “Use Campfire and regularly create meetups or share information. Like I said: In Cologne, we were three people at the first meetup, now we are a hundred.”
What experiences have you had with local group formation? Are there similar examples for you, or do you primarily play alone? Tell us in the comments! And otherwise, a lot is coming up in Pokémon GO: October is approaching, bringing various dates around Halloween. We will show you what to expect: All Events in Pokémon GO in October 2025.

Innovations lead to new shine – but not quite yet
How have critics rated on Metacritic? On Metacritic, this year’s EA FC 26 has a score of 82/100. It consists of about 88% positive (22 reviews), 12% mixed voices (3 reviews), and no outright negative feedback for the new football game.
Both the PS5 version (27 reviews) and the Xbox Series version (9 reviews) also each received 82 points, while the PC version (5 reviews) falls slightly behind with 80 points, as some experienced performance issues.
What do players like about EA FC 26? Many praise the (albeit minor) innovations and changes, as they cater to both casual and hardcore players, making the game more accessible for them. Many voices also commend the balance between the authentic offline mode and the competitive online options.
These two gameplay options also seem to be the highlight of this year’s installment, offering something for every type of player and preference. The changes to the Weekend League are also positively mentioned, as they now provide players with less time an easier way to participate.
What criticisms exist at the moment? Currently, there are no really negative opinions. The few mixed reviews criticize, among other things, the performance on PC, which seems to be causing some frustration. Others found the even more authentic approach of the offline mode to be too tricky and inaccessible.
Monetization, as in previous years, is regarded by some critics as a negative point. Some assess the system as having a pay-to-win aspect. Other voices are generally satisfied with the game but perceive the innovations as too few and uninspired.
Destiny 2 is currently facing issues again, and this time it’s fans who are unable to log in to the loot shooter and are complaining. They have paid for the latest expansion and are now locked out, but Steam wants to help the fans.
What are fans complaining about? Many Guardians from various countries are currently struggling with a major issue in Destiny 2: they cannot log in. Every time they try to get through the menu screen, they receive the error message “TAPIR” – this is usually displayed when the servers are under maintenance, but that is not the case right now.
Such problems are usually communicated by Bungie on the official Bungie Help account, but there is no sign of that. Fans have therefore turned the internet upside down to find out what the problem is. In doing so, they came across a small note from Bungie.

Bungie locks out fans due to legal requirements
What has Bungie said about the issue? Bungie had remained silent, but the uproar was great and many reported in the official developer forum about the aforementioned problem. The team then responded with a brief statement regarding the issue. The developers announced: “Destiny services are not available when access is legally restricted.”
Bungie does not specify which laws are being referred to. However, what is known are some countries where this new restriction is active. These include Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and other regions.
The fact is, players have no chance to play Destiny 2 due to these laws – and this, despite having paid for the new expansion “Beyond Light”. Many feel betrayed and have therefore contacted Steam to get a refund for the expansion. Normally, this would violate Steam’s guidelines, but Valve is making an exception.
How does Steam want to help? Steam’s policy states that a refund for a digital good is only possible if you have played it for less than 2 hours or have owned it for less than 14 days.
This would not apply to many fans of Destiny 2, but Steam is making an exception here. Bungie did not directly and publicly communicate this restriction, so fans affected by the TAPIR error have the chance to get a refund for the expansion.
And even though this is not an optimal solution and fans are still locked out of their game, they still have the opportunity to get their money back.
This is now another blow to Bungie, as the loss of this player base would further decrease the already dwindling player numbers of Destiny 2. The problem strongly resembles the debacle surrounding Helldivers 2, as a large portion of players were also banned from the servers despite their purchase.

In League of Legends there are several strategies to win matches. Two summoners have shown what happens when LoL players use 100% of their brains.
What does the strategy look like? In the League of Legends subreddit, a player revealed the secret strategy of him and his friend to the world. With the champions Anivia, an ice bird, and Neeko, a chameleon woman, they both went down the bot lane (reddit.com):
Champion Neeko has an ability that allows her to transform into a minion of her team. Anivia, on the other hand, creates impassable ice walls. With just such a wall, they isolate one of their own minions and send it on a long journey through the jungle. Neeko then takes its place in the fight and goes to fight with the minions.
How does the strategy work? Due to the long journey of the separated minion, it arrives on the lane a while later. The opponent knows that there is a Neeko on the enemy team and thinks that this late-arriving minion is her. Accordingly, he uses everything he has (abilities, ults, etc.). The opponent then fires his ammunition against a simple minion without realizing it.
Once the mentioned opponent has used everything possible, Neeko comes out of her hiding place. She can then strike back and thus win the first fight on the lane. The Reddit user Loufey sees the strategy as a “big brain move” and comments: “What happens when we use 100% of our brains?”

Other players would fall for the strategy just the same
What do other players say about the strategy? The Reddit user TypicalHaikuResponse states that this “1000IQ gameplay” is the reason he frequents the subreddit. He himself would fall for this trick time and time again if he hadn’t seen the video.
Another user writes that he is happy to see videos like this among all the negativity around LoL, where friends just have fun with a crazy combo.
Just like the Reddit user, professionals should also take a look at this strategy before they are surprised by it in the upcoming Worlds 2025, starting on October 14.
With Where Winds Meet, one of the most exciting open-world RPGs of recent years is set to release. The developers have now revealed how things will proceed after the release.
What kind of game is this? Where Winds Meet is a Wuxia action RPG developed by Everstone Studios, published by NetEase Games. The Wuxia genre combines real martial arts with fantasy elements.
The setting is China in the 10th century. As a young swordsman, you traverse the land during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a time of great turmoil and political intrigue. The country is divided and splintered into several kingdoms after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, vying for power.
At the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2025, alongside a new trailer, there were also initial details about the developers’ plans for the post-release period.
You can see the new trailer from TGS 2025 here:

Two major starting regions, with more to follow in seasons
What to expect at launch: Where Winds Meet adopts a free-to-play model and launches with two large regions – Qinghe and Kaifeng. Each region comes with its own storyline that aims to immerse you deeper into the main story and the past of the characters.
What happens after the release? The game world of Where Winds Meet is intended to be continuously expanded. The developers are using a season model for this. Each season should last about three months.
The season updates are also intended to differ in their focus:
Some seasons advance the main storyline and include new regions and characters.
Others provide new gameplay or time-limited activities for you to engage with.
Enhanced social features and character progression are also possible contents of such a season update.
Despite its free-to-play approach, Where Winds Meet is not a traditional MMORPG. There is a single-player mode, but also plenty of MMO elements. Where Winds Meet releases on November 14, 2025, for PC (Steam) and PS5.
The now 82-year-old Porsche heir Wolfgang Porsche wants to build a tunnel for his villa in Salzburg so that he no longer has to drive over the dangerous road in winter. Despite being in a conservation area, he is allowed to build there, and the city claims it is in the public interest.
The title image is a symbolic image from the video game Forza and has nothing to do with the people or cars in this article.
Who is it about? The 82-year-old Wolfgang Porsche bought a villa in 2020 that is located on the so-called Kapuzinerberg in Salzburg. The Paschinger Schlössl once belonged to Stefan Zweig before he fled from the National Socialists in 1934 and had to sell it below value for that reason.
The castle can only be accessed via a difficult-to-navigate road. This road is also used by tourists visiting a nearby monastery. Especially in winter, the access to the Kapuzinerberg is challenging.
To ensure that the gentleman and his family and friends can reach the villa without problems, the Porsche heir decided to build an underground garage that will be connected by a tunnel to the other end of the mountain.
Select a MMO video…
Private Tunnel in the Public Interest
What will the tunnel look like? The tunnel is intended to create a connection between a public parking lot and the private underground garage of the Porsche heir. The 500-meter long private tunnel serves no other purpose, so other residents of the Kapuzinerberg cannot use it for access to their properties, as it ends in the private garage of the Porsches.
The sole purpose of the construction is therefore to allow the friends and family of the Porsches to reach the villa more easily. However, this is not a problem for the city; on the contrary, they see it as a matter of public interest.
What does the city say about it? The Kapuzinerberg is part of a nature reserve owned by the city, which is why the businessman initially approached the city with his plans, to which the city was not averse at all.
The city initially approved the tunnel and the garage for a payment of €40,000 without involving the city council. The council only learned about the project about a year after the contract was signed.
However, the city council later approved the construction project in the city construction committee with a majority from SPÖ, ÖVP, and FPÖ, even though the payment was increased to 48,000 euros due to the project being enlarged through ventilation shafts, bypass points, and rock anchors (via auto-motor-und-sport.de).
The public, however, viewed the issue differently than the majority in the city council. They protested against the project and resisted with a petition with about 19,000 signatures. But that didn’t change anything.
For the city, it was clear that “public interest” was present, as a report from the Department of Urban Planning and Traffic in the Magistrate Salzburg states, according to TheTimes. Furthermore, the website motorpasion.com states that the planning office would explain that the traffic jams on the streets of the Kapuzinerberg could be reduced by the tunnel.
