Borderlands 4 receives its first major DLC for 30 euros, fails at what its predecessors did so well

Borderlands 4 has received its first story pack. Along with new story missions, weapons, and enemies, there is also a new vault hunter. However, the DLC is not well received on Steam.

What kind of DLC is this? With Story Pack 1: Mad Ellie and the Jammer Chamber released on March 26, 2026, it is the first major story DLC for Borderlands 4, bringing more content than previous vault hunter packs. Included are:

  • C4SH as a new vault hunter
  • A new area
  • New main and side missions
  • New collectibles
  • New bosses and mini-bosses
  • New gear and cosmetics

The entire story pack costs €30 if you don’t have the vault hunter pack or purchased the Super Deluxe Edition. Although this looks like a full DLC on paper, it hasn’t been well received on Steam and by many fans.

This is by no means worth 30 dollars

What is the problem with the first major story pack? On Steam, the DLC currently (as of March 28, 2026, 09:30 AM) has only 34% positive out of 202 reviews. Thus, the game is rated mostly negative. Looking at the reviews, the length of the DLC is particularly criticized. Some users mention that you can finish the main story in less than 3 hours.

Another negative factor seems to be the price. Even the positive reviews criticize the price of €30 for a game that costs €70 without discounts.

As user Tricylce Enjoyer writes in his review: This is by far not worth 30 dollars, lol. It feels shorter than a BL2 DLC campaign, and those had at least one, if not two raid bosses. C4SH is great, and the level cap increase is nice, but compared to the other outstanding DLCs of the series, it feels … okay?

Like Tricycle Enjoyer, other positive reviews also praise the new playable character C4SH. However, you cannot buy him separately and must purchase the entire story pack.

Did the DLC manage to increase player numbers? Looking at the player numbers on SteamDB, you can see a small jump. While the player numbers previously ranged between 2000 and 4000 players, it peaked at up to 14,800 concurrent players in the last 24 hours.

The previous bounty packs could not achieve such an increase. But even the small increase achieved is still far from the 300,000 players that Borderlands 4 celebrated at launch.

DLCs were a highlight in the predecessors

What does MeinMMO editor and Borderlands fan Nikolas Hernes say about the response to the DLC? To see the DLC received so poorly makes me a bit sad. For me, the DLCs in Borderlands 3 and especially in Borderlands 2 were the major highlights, surpassing even the main titles.

When I think of the pirate DLC in 2 or the western DLC in 3, I realize how great DLCs Gearbox has delivered. The DLCs in the predecessors were not just small new contents; they were improvements for the main game, and the first story pack for the 4th part seems unable to achieve that.

I am happy that C4SH is well received, but since he is only available with the story pack, the negative response casts a shadow over him.

I hope that Borderlands 4 can recover well with upcoming updates because it has the potential to be a really good loot shooter that just needs a bit more love.

But what do you think? Have you played the DLC, or have you completely turned your back on Borderlands 4? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. Another loot shooter is also making a comeback with a new mode: The Division 2 has created a masterpiece with a new mode and I wish that it were its own game

The 5 most absurd YouTube videos by HandOfBlood

The content creator Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe was known for absurd Twitch videos before focusing on YouTube.

The popular content creator HandOfBlood was previously more focused on YouTube before his current Twitch era. With his team, he selected different games and brainstormed costumes, props, and his own storylines for them.

Although the gaming videos were mostly just simple Let’s Plays, HandOfBlood and his team always went the extra mile in the videos. His Let’s Plays were enriched in a very special way and gained a reputation in the YouTube community for being very elaborate.

HandOfBlood: The most important thing about the YouTuber and Twitch streamer in under a minute

What is this list about? The entries of this list were made based on popularity in views on the YouTube channel HandOfBlood and the author’s subjective assessment of the absurdity of the videos.

In HandOfBlood’s video library, there are some classic Let’s Plays that have made their way into the hearts of the community. Without wanting to extend the framework of this list, we have noted down some “Honorable Mentions”:

  • Hitman 2 – Since there were various scenarios in this contract killer simulator, HandOfBlood was able to use the most diverse costumes and props. These Let’s Plays thrive on the costume changes and how the creator discovers the funniest ways to commit murder.
  • Cooking Simulator 2 Pizza DLC – To date, this video is the most successful on HandOfBlood’s main channel. The YouTube video has over 8 million views, in which HandOfBlood tests the limits of his PC. He discovers a bug in the game that spits out an infinite number of olives.
  • Police Helicopter Simulator – This Let’s Play is the birthplace of the meme That didn’t go so well yesterday. HandOfBlood struggles with this game, which doesn’t tell him what he’s doing wrong but just punishes him by constantly aborting the missions. He is trapped in an almost endless loop where his superior says this sentence.
  • Highway Police Simulator 2 – It would probably be easier to describe what is not absurd about this Let’s Play: The story, the character creator, or HandOfBlood’s reactions to the sometimes rather strange game.
  • Thief Simulator – The most iconic aspect of this Let’s Play is probably how HandOfBlood repeatedly wears a balaclava that doesn’t cover his face most of the time.

For this video, HandOfBlood’s team put in a lot of effort. The creatives built a huge green screen background on which a kayak was then placed. Wild.

Some employees of HandOfBlood then donned green suits to unnoticeably rock the kayak back and forth. This was synchronized with the movements in the game.

HandOfBlood controlled the kayak with a paddle. A controller was attached to it, which reacted to the movements of the YouTuber, sometimes more accurately, sometimes less.

The already absurd game Getting Over It became even more absurd when it became clear that HandOfBlood sat half-naked in a cauldron like the character in the game. Here, the control was supposed to be done with the prop, in this case, a hammer.

This became somewhat more difficult with this setup. The control is already complicated when using just a mouse and keyboard. With a hammer that was often not recognized correctly, the difficulty level increased noticeably.

Getting Over It is a so-called rage game, a game designed to be particularly difficult or unfair to drive players to frustration. The game did this with HandOfBlood: The YouTuber got clearly angry more than once.

Sword Art Online is considered a pioneer of animes with questionable content, now the creator presents his new work

The mangaka Reki Kawahara is the creator of one of the most well-known and first Isekai series ever. Now, his next story is being adapted into an anime, and the premise may sound familiar to you.

What kind of anime will this be? Since 2022, the author has been writing the story of Demon’s Crest. There is both a light novel and a webtoon, as well as a manga. Once again, it is about teenagers getting pulled into a virtual game:

  • The story takes place in the year 2031. Sixth grader Yuuma Ashihara participates in the beta test of the world’s first full-dive VR MMORPG, Actual Magic, along with his twin sister Sawa.
  • After the group defeats a dungeon boss, Yuuma’s avatar is suddenly enveloped in red light, and he loses consciousness. A normal logout is no longer possible as it was in Sword Art Online.
  • Yuuma comes to and finds himself in a mixed reality where the video game and the real world have merged. Here, too, a fight for survival begins once again.

Unlike Kirito, who was the protagonist in Sword Art Online, Yuuma discovers a classmate from the real world. Sumika is actually the sweetest girl in the class, but in the mixed world, she suddenly looks like a terrifying monster.

There is also a first trailer for the anime.

New Anime from the Creator of Sword Art Online

What do the two animes have in common? The premise that a student is irreversibly pulled into a virtual world to fight for their life is the same in both animes. Additionally, both series are set in a future setting.

As in Sword Art Online, the protagonist in Devil’s Crest is reborn into a new world. Sword Art Online was one of the first Isekais and a pioneer of the genre. This led to many series where increasingly bizarre premises occur, such as a person being resurrected as a vending machine in another world.

When is it supposed to be released? According to the trailer, the anime is set to be released sometime in 2026. At least it was not included in the winter and spring seasons now, so it can be assumed that it will premier either in summer or in fall.

Meanwhile, it is known which animes will be launching in spring 2026. You can find the biggest highlights you should not miss in the following list on my MMO: 8 Anime Recommendations for Spring 2026, one of which has the potential to be the best anime of all time

Tarkov expert plays ARC Raiders for the first time without PvP, tests on Twitch if everyone in the ‘PvE lobbies’ is really friendly

A Twitch streamer tested how friendly the Friendly Lobbies really are in ARC Raiders and found almost a completely new game.

Who is the Tarkov expert? The Swiss content creator SirHansVader participated in a Twitch stream on March 27 and took on a test in ARC Raiders: He wanted to find out whether he would really enter lobbies where no one engages in PvP if he doesn’t shoot at enemy Raiders.

  • SirHansVader is primarily known for Escape from Tarkov. On his YouTube channel, he publishes tips and guides or discusses the news around the shooter from Battlestate Games.
  • On Twitch, he shows other games alongside Tarkov, with a focus on shooters. Over the past six months, besides ARC Raiders, titles like Battlefield 6 and Marathon were featured.

As a hardcore Tarkov expert, he usually plays a lot of PvP in ARC Raiders. The game guides him into lobbies where players rarely greet each other friendly. However, he wanted to see for himself if ARC Raiders can indeed be as friendly as many say.

Start video
ARC Raiders has an incredibly peaceful community – Even the developers are surprised

What was the test like? SirHansVader created a new account and played ARC Raiders with a character that had never participated in a match before. His mission was:

Not to shoot at any player, show no aggression, and see if there will still be Raiders who shoot at him.

Even in the first rounds, a clear picture emerged. The Raiders simply walked past him, not seeing him as a threat at all. They greeted him amicably, turned their backs to him, and fought together against the ARCs.

In 10 raids, he encountered 25 friendly Raiders and only one player who shot at him in the elevator. This black sheep was the only PvP encounter during the test.

How did the test continue? The content creator opted for the ultimate test on Stella Montis, the possibly PvP-focused map of the game. Here it would show how friendly the lobbies truly are.

To play Stella Montis, he had to complete 25 rounds on the account. Due to time constraints, he chose to complete part of the rounds by “abandoning” a raid.

On Stella Montis, he could hardly believe his eyes. No one fought against each other, players helped each other against the ARCs, and everyone was friendly. He stood next to other Raiders, played the flute, and even received loot as a street musician.

Even when he stole loot from other Raiders after they destroyed a Bastion, everyone remained friendly. It was almost like another game for him.

How can matchmaking differ so much? Patrick Söderlund, one of the founders and current CEO of Embark Studios, confirmed in an interview with GamesBeat (via YouTube) at the end of December that there is “aggression-based matchmaking” in ARC Raiders.

He explained that if players prefer PvE, they will more likely be matched with equally pacifistic players in a lobby. Players who engage in a lot of PvP will encounter other PvP fans more often.

Several weeks later, Virgil Watkins, the lead designer of ARC Raiders, added that the game can determine who shoots first. While the shooter does not recognize intent or morality, it does recognize who lands a hit on another Raider first.

Fan prints 1,752 individual parts in 20 3D printers for a life-sized statue of Horus from Warhammer 40k, takes 5 months for it

He is the namesake of the greatest tragedy in the history of humanity: Horus Lupercal. The son of the Emperor nearly caused the complete downfall of the world from Warhammer 40,000. Now a user has dedicated a statue to him that does not fit in any house.

This is the statue: Already in December 2025, we reported that the user “HammerDoris” or “The Imperial Saint” is currently building a life-sized statue of Horus Lupercal.

Doris is quite well known in the community for her cosplays. You can find her projects on Instagram.

Back then, only the legs were finished. Now the statue is almost completely finalized on… these legs. Only the iconic claw on the right hand of the traitor is still missing. In a thread on Reddit, Doris lists some facts about the statue:

  • The statue measures 4.4 meters from the lowest to the highest point – only 3.6 meters up to the head. That fits, Horus was supposed to be about 3.5 meters tall in his armor.
  • The entire duration for the project so far is 5 months. She has forgotten the claw so far. Since this is a hobby project, Doris is not putting herself under pressure, she says.
  • A total of 1,752 individual parts have been used so far. Just the legs needed 594 pieces back then.

How did Doris manage that? For the actual printing, Doris says she ran 20 3D printers to produce the individual parts. However, some details had to be adjusted, such as cutting off part of the leg armor so that the arms would fit.

Arms and shoulder pads are held in position with rods. As she shows in another video on Reddit, she needed a forklift and tension straps for the assembly. The latter could at least already be removed. Now Horus can stand on his own.

The storage, on the other hand, sounds a bit complicated. Due to the enormous size, the traitor lies in separate parts in the garage and completely blocks it, writes the user. What all this has cost, she wants to reveal in a later post.

The trailer for the new edition of the Horus Heresy in Warhammer 40,000

Horus Lupercal is one of the most important figures in Warhammer 40,000

In the comments, there are some remarks about how such a statue well represents the absurd conditions of Warhammer – and how much larger Space Marines can be compared to humans.

Space Marines are bred super soldiers and are already a good bit larger than “normal” humans. Primarchs, the ones from whom Space Marines descend, are even larger since they are the direct genetic sons of the God-Emperor himself.

A user notes that Horus with such dimensions would not even fit into a normal house, which probably would not pose an obstacle. At least not for the house. Considering how powerful Horus actually is.

Horus Lupercal is known as the ultimate traitor. He questioned the Emperor and his ways and triggered the “Horus Heresy”, the great brother war in which half of the Space Marine legions fell to Chaos.

The following conflict nearly destroyed holy Terra, and Horus himself nearly killed the Emperor. Since then, the ruler of humanity has been bound to his golden throne, which keeps him alive.

But although Horus is regarded as the greatest traitor, he is not the first heretic. In fact, there is even a person who can be blamed more than anyone else for what Chaos has done and continues to do in the galaxy: A man in Warhammer 40,000 is responsible for turning the two greatest traitors evil

User changes his graphics card, realizes: AMD is not as bad as everyone says

Many players swear by Nvidia. One player bought an AMD graphics card and does not regret the purchase to this day. Because the issues are minimal. Moreover, he was able to save a considerable amount of money by opting out of Nvidia.

One user bought a new graphics card and had to choose between AMD and Nvidia. After much back and forth, he decided on a 7900 GRE from AMD. According to him, he does not regret the decision to this day.

The alternative would have been an RTX 4070 Ti Super with similar performance, but he would have had to pay 200 US dollars more for that, which he claims he simply could not justify.

After three months: Regret nothing

The user explains about his purchase and the decision for the RX 7900 GRE:

I had the 4070 Ti Super in my cart twice. In every test, it says it’s the safer choice, better drivers, DLSS is great, blah blah. But at my local Microcenter, the 7900 GRE cost about 380 US dollars compared to 580 US dollars, and I simply could not justify that. The money I saved at Stake, I set aside for a better power supply and an NVMe, which I wanted to save on anyway.

After three months, I do not regret it at all in terms of performance. In Cyberpunk with maximum settings and 1440p, I reach about 78 FPS without Path Tracing, which is more than enough for me. The games I actually play the most run perfectly.

Everything, according to the user, is not perfect. There are mainly minor issues, but they are limited to two games: Forza Horizon 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. However, he managed to resolve those issues.

When it comes to pure raw performance (rasterization), AMD can easily compete with the comparable card from Nvidia.

Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes

AMD struggles with prejudice about poor software

What’s behind the accusations? Anyone looking to buy a graphics card and deciding between AMD and Nvidia will stumble over a prevailing prejudice:

The drivers and software from AMD are said to be so poor that the hardware is hardly usable. This discussion is also recurring on MeinMMO, where users claim that AMD has technical issues.

On MeinMMO, we also have users who repeatedly state that the severe problems are a thing of the past. For example, Peachbob explains:

I do not know anyone [who has problems]. Anyone who really has a card from AMD can attest that the driver problems are far in the past. Using that argument today simply shows ignorance.

Even when comparing AMD and Nvidia graphics cards directly, the software is still a topic when one has to choose between the two manufacturers. AMD has made various changes and improvements in recent years, but has not always shown good judgment: When it comes to CPUs, AMD has simply not been able to shake off a problem for months.

MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has relied on the new Radeon RX 9070 since 2025; problems occurred only to a limited extent: With the next update, the problems were mostly resolved and resemble the examples mentioned in the user’s Reddit post.

A new co-op game moves away from overpowered heroes, instead aims to remind you of your first tabletop sessions with friends

After working on titles like the Battlefield series and Star Wars: Battlefront, a few developers decided to dedicate themselves to a completely new project: Wyldheart, a cooperative action RPG that feels like the first Tabletop sessions of friends playing D&D. MeinMMO editor Caro spoke with the team and has already gained some initial insights into Wyldheart.

A few former DICE developers, primarily known for AAA shooters like the Battlefield series, shared a side hobby: tabletop RPGs.

Wyldheart, from Studio Wayfinder, is a new co-op action RPG for PC, developed by veterans from DICE, Mojang Studios, and Embark Studios. Among them is studio co-founder Dennis Brännvall, who has worked as Creative Director for Star Wars: Battlefront.

Together with his partner Fia Tjernberg and other motivated colleagues, the team is now turning away from firearms and gunfights toward something entirely different: a rustic fantasy experience for friends who want to embark on their own virtual tabletop campaign in co-op.

I’ve already had a chance to get a first look at Wyldheart and chat with both Dennis Brännvall and Marketing Director Erin Bower about their game and their shared love for TTRPGs. My takeaway so far: Wyldheart could be a great fit for those who are tired of min-maxing and just want a relaxed evening with friends and a casual tabletop session.

Start video
The trailer for Wyldheart shows dark dungeons and a cozy gathering by the campfire

Say goodbye to the idea of being “the chosen one” with the ultimate build

Wyldheart blends various genres like dungeon crawling, sandbox gameplay, and a player-driven RPG experience. You can start a campaign alone or with up to three friends to embark on adventures together. Solo players are also meant to have a balanced experience, though the game is primarily designed for the shared co-op experience.

During character creation, RPG veterans will notice right away: there are no traditional classes. Instead of class progression, you use earned XP to unlock more skills related to adventuring, survival, dungeon exploration, combat arts, and magic.

Right from character creation, it quickly becomes clear: You aren’t meant to start as daredevil heroes here—at first, you’re just some random, perhaps even slightly underqualified, folk.

Players can choose from various fantasy races as well as a background, with a total of 18 variants available. These include more classic examples like an outlaw or a mercenary, but also some more unusual candidates like the butcher, the drunk, or the rat catcher.

In Wyldheart, it’s less about finding a powerful build and becoming increasingly formidable. Yes, there are level-ups and better equipment and weapons to be found in the game. But anyone longing for intense powergaming and min-maxing will find themselves in the wrong place with Wyldheart.

Instead, Wyldheart prioritizes the shared experience among friends—a collective gameplay experience that isn’t just about tactical combat. Alongside the dungeon action, Wyldheart simply feels deeply reminiscent of gathering around a table for a tabletop session:

  • There is no minimap. No matter where you go, you simply head out and explore.
  • The camp isn’t just a place to skip the night; it’s a spot to prepare meals together, repair gear, and simply chat—with appropriate emotes, of course.
  • If a character dies permanently because their Hope has completely vanished (yes, that’s an actual mechanic), it doesn’t mean game over for the player. You can create a new adventurer and—if you so choose—look for a way to revive the fallen hero with your party, or simply move on.
  • Alongside combat and exploration, skills like eavesdropping, deciphering rumors, and interacting with NPCs are also vital.
  • The design also leans into this: When traveling long distances, the characters hop across the map as tiny, miniature-style figures.

Wyldheart shines in co-op and aims to be accessible accordingly

A campaign works like a shared save that the group continues to progress through. However, not all participants need to be present to keep playing the campaign. This allows someone who typically has more time to go on solo exploration tours and gather XP in the campaign, even if the rest of the group isn’t there.

When the others eventually rejoin, they also benefit from the diligent player’s motivation and receive the same experience points. This is a huge help for groups of friends with different work schedules, hobbies, or other commitments who still want to be part of a shared story.

In the same way, everyone can pursue the activities they enjoy most—be it dungeons, chatting with NPCs, or looting as many bodies as possible. No player has to sacrifice their preferred playstyle, and they can even complete the tasks that others might not really feel like doing.

Tabletop role-playing games have many facets, and these in particular play a vital role in Wyldheart

I wanted to ask studio co-founder Dennis Bränvall what he especially loves about role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons and how that translates into Wyldheart. I was surprised by just how much his perspective aligned with my own:

Well, personally, I enjoy the role-playing aspect the most. I’d say tactical combat and overcoming tough challenges come next. But above all, I love the spontaneous craziness of tabletop RPGs and the fact that anything can happen. I usually play very thematic characters, not necessarily highly optimized ones.

[He laughs as I joyfully throw my hands in the air.]

I also love it when I have to manage my food, keep an eye on the condition of my armor, and things like that. And I think you’re going to see a lot of that in Wyldheart.

Despite the rather down-to-earth and relaxed-sounding approach of a “rustic” RPG, Wyldheart still offers plenty of challenges. However, these aren’t always found in combat.

“For us, ‘rustic’ doesn’t just mean playing as a simple peasant rather than ‘the chosen one,'” Bränvall explains when asked about the exact definition. “It also means your gear breaks, you run out of food, and your Hope fades—and it’s raining, which really sucks. But that’s exactly what I love about it! It’s not just the monsters that can hurt you, but other things as well.”

Even though I’ve already gathered some initial impressions with the developers, I’m excited to see how Wyldheart feels in co-op with my own friends. That should be a completely different experience.

During our conversation, however, it sounded like the team has plenty of other ideas they could implement in the future, such as various campaigns, potential one-shots for shorter sessions, and more. For now, the focus is on the actual release and a bit of polishing before Wyldheart can become a new regular hangout for groups of friends.

Even though I refer to D&D throughout this article, there are many other tabletop RPG systems whose players might enjoy Wyldheart. Here on MeinMMO, we’ve introduced the top 9 front-runners to you: According to developers, D&D is the most played system in the world, but there are 9 other leaders

Bridgerton Season 5: All Information about the Trailer, Release, Cast

The story of the Bridgertons continues in Season 5 of the series on Netflix. MeinMMO tells you everything about the trailer, release, and cast.

What kind of series is Bridgerton? At the center of Bridgerton is the eponymous noble family from early 19th century England. Mother Violet Bridgerton tries her best to marry off her eight offspring as profitably as possible. However, the (somewhat grown-up) children should not just marry anyone – it should be a love match. 

In the currently in-production fifth season, the third daughter Francesca will take the lead role. In the 6th book of the same name, she falls in love with Michael Stirling, the cousin of her recently deceased husband John.

This article will be continuously updated as new information becomes available. You can find the table of contents here:

Bridgerton Season 5: Trailer

Is there a trailer for Bridgerton Season 5? No, a full trailer has not yet been released. However, in conjunction with the announcement of Season 5, there was a short teaser that you can watch here:

Bridgerton Season 5: All information about release and stream

When will Bridgerton Season 5 be released? So far, no official release date has been announced. The teaser indicates that Season 5 is in production.

There was just under 2 years between Seasons 3 and 4.

Who is streaming Bridgerton Season 5? Like the previous seasons, Bridgerton Season 5 will be released exclusively on Netflix. So you will need a subscription to the streamer.

Since the series has not yet been released physically, it can be assumed that there will also be no release on DVD or Blu-ray for Season 5.

Bridgerton Season 5: All information about cast and plot

Who is in Bridgerton Season 5? So far, there is no official list of actors returning for Season 5, but it is quite likely for some performers.

  • Hannah Dodd as Francesca Stirling
  • Masali Baduza as Michaela Stirling

Possible returnees:

  • Ruth Gemmell as Violet Bridgerton
  • Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton
  • Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton
  • Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Bridgerton
  • Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton
  • Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton
  • Simone Ashley as Kate Bridgerton
  • Yerin Ha as Sophie Bridgerton
  • Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton
  • Will Tilston as Gregory Bridgerton

What is the plot of Bridgerton Season 5? In Season 5 of Bridgerton, the story revolves around Francesca Stirling. In Season 4, she lost her husband. 2 years after this event, Season 5 is set to take place. Francesca wants to remarry, but the return of John’s cousin Michaela brings emotional chaos and the question of whether she should follow her new feelings.

Season 5 is based on the 6th book of the series by Julia Quinn. The character Michaela already differs significantly from the book in the Netflix series, as Michaela is not a woman there but Michael, the cousin. Thus, Season 5 also tells the story of the first queer main couple in the series.

Fans of the noble series can therefore look forward to more stories from the Bridgerton family in the future. However, the Netflix series also differs in some places from the books: The 10 most important differences between the book and the series in Bridgerton that change Part 1 of Season 4

The PS5 will be 100 euros more expensive in a few days, who should still buy it now?

Sony raises prices significantly for all PS5 consoles: Who should buy now or just wait?

The RAM and storage crisis has officially hit Sony as well. Sony stated in an official blog post that they intend to increase the prices of their PS5 consoles significantly.

The price changes for the PS5 in detail: The new prices are as follows:

  • PS5 – 649.99 Euros (+100 Euros)
  • PS5 Digital Edition – 599.99 Euros (+100 Euros)
  • PS5 Pro – 899.99 Euros (+100 Euros)

You will soon pay exactly 100 Euros more for each console. Sony explained that “this is a necessary step to ensure that we can continue to provide players worldwide with innovative, high-quality gaming experiences.”

When will the prices rise? According to Sony, starting from April 2, 2026, which is exactly one week from today. The last price increase for the PS5 occurred in August 2025, but it did not affect German customers.

Old prices for the PS5 still apply; who should buy now?

Can you still buy the PS5 at the old prices? Yes, you can! The old prices still apply at Amazon, MediaMarkt, and other retailers for the PS5, the Digital Edition, and the PS5 Pro.

Who should buy now?

  • You have hopelessly outdated PC hardware at home but still want to play in decent quality without buying a new PC given the high prices.
  • You just want to play after work without dealing with drivers or graphics settings.
  • You want to play Sony’s exclusive PS5 games, preferably right at the release date.
  • You are eager to play GTA VI right at the release; then the PS5 (Pro) is currently also the best option to avoid higher costs later with a bundle.

For whom is it not worth it?

  • You already have a gaming PC with modern technology (RTX 4070 / RX 9070 or faster) and exclusive games don’t matter to you, or a few years later they are sufficient through Steam.
  • You want ray tracing, native 4K, and more than 60 FPS while gaming.
  • You play a lot online and prefer to buy games really cheap on sale. Here the PC is the better option since the costs for PS Plus further increase the cost of the console.
  • If you mainly play real-time games or things that are best controlled with a mouse and keyboard, in most cases our tip is also a gaming PC and not the PS5.

PS5 and PS5 Pro look very similar at first glance since Sony has hardly changed the design. But where are the similarities and especially the differences between PS5 and PS5 Pro? MeinMMO presents all the details and explains what you should consider: PS5 Pro vs PS5 comparison: What similarities and differences are there?

Crimson Desert: 4 Statues Puzzle – How to solve the riddle for the fast travel point

For some fast travel points in Crimson Desert, you need to solve puzzles. In one, you will encounter 4 statues that you need to align. You can find the solution here.

What is the solution? You can rotate the 4 statues around the milestone in the center with your Axiom ability. You will hear a “click” when your rotated statue is in the correct position. To unlock the teleporter, all 4 faces must look towards the center:

If you need a bit more assistance, here is a detailed explanation of how you should rotate each statue to quickly reach the solution.

How to rotate the statues correctly

How should you rotate the statues? When you try to rotate a statue, you will quickly notice that some statues rotate together. So you always need to pay attention to how and which statues are moved simultaneously.

If you want to waste little time, proceed as follows:

  • Rotate the northern statue to the left until it clicks into place
  • Then rotate the western statue to the right until it clicks into place

Then all statues should be looking towards the center and the puzzle for the milestone should be solved.

Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert

Can you reset the puzzle if you are stuck? Yes, you can leave the area for about 1 minute and then return to reset the puzzle. Alternatively, it always makes sense to save beforehand with such puzzles and just reload.

Where can I find the puzzle? You can find the puzzle south of the Hernand Highlands near the Glenbright estate. The teleporter is particularly handy because it is centrally located in the southern part of the Hernand region, allowing you to easily explore eastward and westward.

In Crimson Desert, there are many such puzzles, and not all of them can be solved as quickly as the one with the 4 statues. For example, near your camp, there is one where you need to align wall panels, but you first need to find access: Crimson Desert: Dragon’s Stone Chamber – How to solve the puzzle at the camp

Creators of Crimson Desert promise free updates, but a desired feature will probably never come

After the rocky start of Crimson Desert, the ratings have continually improved, and many players are enjoying the open-world adventure. Even though the content seems almost endless, the developers are now revealing their plans for the future.

What was that discussion about? The developers of Crimson Desert spoke with their shareholders about the future of the game. They addressed both the short-term improvements and the long-term updates and DLCs.

As usual at shareholder meetings, the comments only reflect the current thoughts of the developers. These can change much more likely than official announcements.

Here you can see where to find a legendary horse:

Updates, Updates, Updates

What does the near future look like for Crimson Desert? First of all, the developers of Crimson Desert want to address the current issues in the game. They are also clearly focusing on the controls, which still pose a real problem for many.

Here, the developers implemented improvements with the first patch, but it’s still far from perfect. They also want to adjust certain gameplay mechanics. Possible adjustments could include boss balance, certain puzzles, or quest designs.

Thus, the developers have already added more fast travel points to make it easier for players. However, you still need to unlock the one at your house.

Are DLCs coming for Crimson Desert? As of now, the developers are not planning any DLCs for Crimson Desert. They want to focus on free patches for now, which can also deliver new content.

DLCs in the form of expansions are not entirely ruled out, however. CEO Huh explicitly states that they are a valid business model, but they are not currently focusing on that, and no DLC is in the works.

Will multiplayer be included? No, the developers of Crimson Desert will not be introducing multiplayer for now. Although the title was originally planned as an MMORPG, it cannot simply be patched back in. The biggest concern is the technology. Current hardware may not provide enough performance to support multiple players in the world.

The situation with mods is similar. The developers recognize the potential of a modding community but would need to further open their engine for that. They have no objections to it, but that step is not currently planned either.

What about the story? The story of Crimson Desert is largely frowned upon by many. It is said to be not particularly exciting, and the events do not seem to logically connect.

In this regard, the CEO says he understands the users’ negative feelings. At the same time, he emphasizes that at a certain point, they decided to further improve the core gameplay elements instead of expanding the story.

It seems they had to prioritize between the two in order to meet the release deadline.

Crimson Desert continues to rise in its ratings. The fact that the developers do not want to charge money for upcoming updates will likely please the players. The only question is how much real content is packed into the patches or if the open-world adventure will remain as it currently is. The gameplay is definitely not easy: players from Crimson Desert are repeatedly failing at duels, fox reveals a genius trick: “I nearly spat out my coffee at the twist at the end”

A group in The Boys is even too evil for the Amazon series, making Homelander seem harmless

The universe of The Boys offers more than one can see in the series. Its arguably worst team has yet to make an appearance. But that’s no surprise when you look at how malicious the story behind it is.

Which team is it about? The Supes in The Boys are mostly parodies of well-known superheroes from Marvel or DC. For instance, Soldier Boy is a nod to Captain America. Some of the Supes from the comics do not appear in the Amazon series at all.

Among them is a whole group: The G-Men. As the name suggests, the group is a parody of the X-Men from Marvel. They are even the most successful group of Vought, but behind them hides a cruel cult that is likely too evil even for the series.

Start video
The Boys shows in the final trailer for Season 5 how far Homelander has come

The nasty parody of the X-Men

Who are the G-Men? In the comics, the G-Men are a group from Vought, consisting of several teams. At the top is John Godolkin, who represents the equivalent of Professor X in Marvel. Outwardly, he is portrayed as a kind father figure who takes care of orphans and outcasts. This is also why the G-Men are so profitable as a franchise for Vought. Even the Seven of Homelander do not bring in as much money as the G-Men. This also gives them a lot of freedom within the company.

However, as one knows from The Boys, a much more insidious thought lies behind it. Godolkin is not a kind man but the leader of a sex cult that kidnaps children and infects them with Compound V. Through abuse and manipulation, he controls his group.

Godolkin has the urge to increase the number of the group with more and more members. If a member dies, he brings them back with a resurrection technique that turns the Supes into mindless slaves. This happened, for example, with the Supe Nubia, who is a parody of the heroine Storm.

The first 5 members are based on 5 of the most legendary mutants of the X-Men:

  • Five-Oh is based on Cyclops and can shoot lasers.
  • Silver Kincaid is based on Jean Grey/Phoenix and has telekinetic abilities that allow her to manipulate pressure.
  • Nubia is based on Storm and can manipulate thunder.
  • Groundhawk is the parody of Wolverine, who has entire arms made of hammerheads instead of claws.
  • The Devine is based on Angel and can fly and has telepathic powers.
  • Critter is a parody of Beast and looks like Bigfoot with long fur. He seems to have an administrative role in the G-Men.

Even though the G-Men were quite lucrative for Vought, they were still a problem for the company’s leadership, as Godolkin’s obsession and their cult secret posed a threat. That’s when Butcher with his team came in handy.

The Boys took care of the G-Men

What did Butcher and his crew do with the G-Men? After Silver Kincaid committed suicide, Butcher and the group investigated. To learn more about the G-Men, they infiltrated Hughie, who disguised himself as a new recruit Bagpipe in the sub-group G-Wiz. There, Hughie discovered how bad things really are behind the scenes and how wealthy the G-Men actually are.

Although Godolkin is warned by Vought and Critter not to let the group grow further, he ignores it. On the other hand, Hughie, who continues to investigate undercover despite Butcher’s orders, believes that the G-Wiz are peaceful.

However, after Hughie is uncovered and still attacked by the G-Wiz, the others come to his aid, thanks to temporary Compound V powers. But before a real fight against all the other G-Men could take place, Vought seized the opportunity and attacked Godolkin and his team with an army and completely eliminated them.

Will the G-Men appear in the Amazon series? It is quite unlikely that the G-Men as a group will be introduced. The G-Men also seem to exist in the Amazon series, as it is known that there are films about them. Whether they are just actors or a real Supe group remains unclear.

Godolkin as a character was adapted in the spin-off series Gen V. There, Thomas Godolkin founded a Supe university to select the best superheroes and create a superior form of human. In the end of the 2nd season of Gen V, however, he is killed by Marie Moreau. Even if the G-Men probably won’t make it to the finale of the Amazon series, there will likely be another cult: Against a new Supe in The Boys, even Homelander seems like a nice guy

One of the best Pen&Paper gets a new game on Steam, lets you hunt werewolves and vampires

Hunter: The Reckoning returns and looks more brutal and terrifying in the new trailer than ever before. But the gameplay on Steam can do more than just scare.

What kind of game is it? Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish is an action RPG, expected to release in Q3 2027 on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The title is being developed by Teyon, the studio that recently delivered a real surprise hit with RoboCop: Rogue City, which also leaked their new project.

In Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, you take on the role of an ordinary human in modern New York, whose life is turned upside down when an old childhood friend reappears. Suddenly, the truth is revealed to you: The world is full of real, bloodthirsty monsters lurking in the shadows.

As a newly minted monster hunter, you embark on a quest to hunt down werewolves, ghouls, and ancient vampires, but it’s not that easy.

You can watch the trailer here:

Start video
Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish shows in the trailer how to track down monsters

More than just horror

What distinguishes the game? Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish focuses on RPG mechanics and a semi-open world. You can customize your character, but you also have to assign strengths and weaknesses to him.

Since you are facing overwhelming creatures as a human, pure firepower is often not enough. The game places great emphasis on detective work. You must spy, hack, steal, and intimidate suspects to uncover the weaknesses of your targets.

However, if you go too far, you’ll get into trouble with the police or even worse organizations that want to take you out. You can solve the game with brute force, through stealth, or with charisma in dialogues.

These elements have been deliberately chosen because the computer game is based on a pen & paper game that incorporates these values right from character creation.

What other elements are in the game? You are not alone, but gather with others in your hideout. There, you form a cell that you manage. However, your companions are also just humans and therefore mortal.

As you grow romantically closer to them, you risk their lives with every mission, and wrong decisions can lead to your friends or loved ones meeting a tragic end.

Preparation is very important. You can craft weapons in your base or acquire firearms on the black market to have any chance of survival in combat as humans.

How does the game differ from its predecessor? If you’re pondering the name, you’ve probably been gaming for quite some time. A game was already released in 2002 under the title Hunter: The Reckoning for Xbox and GameCube. However, the new version has almost nothing to do with the hack-and-slash gameplay of the past.

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish is firmly based on the lore of the famous World of Darkness, a massive pen & paper universe that ranks among the best in the world. Well-known brands from the universe, such as Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse, have become even more popular in recent years.

In this universe, supernatural beings secretly pull the strings while humanity knows nothing about it. While in other titles of the universe you become one of these beings, Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish turns the tables and lets you, as a weak, mortal human, take on the monsters.

With Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, a highlight for RPG fans and pen & paper lovers is coming to the market. However, it will still be some time until the release, which is expected to happen in summer 2027 at the earliest. Until then, the most successful RPG of 2025 is making headlines: Clair Obscur sues comic author, who gives up immediately, now there is still a happy ending

Such a thing has never happened in CS2: Valve is taking unprecedented action against “farmers”

Valve has taken action against bot farmers in Counter-Strike 2 and has banned nearly a million accounts in a single day.

What was Valve’s approach? In Counter-Strike 2, thousands of accounts were banned. Players first noticed a significant increase in VAC & Game Bans on the csstats website on March 26.

While on most days only 400-600 accounts are banned, nearly 18,000 were banned on Thursday. The website also shows that on no other day in the past month were there more than 4,000 bans – however, only accounts that play Competitive or Premier are shown.

Counter-Strike 2: Valve once again impresses with the launch trailer

When the community became aware of the bans, a user shared a screenshot of the csstats website on Reddit. A few hours later, an employee from Valve responded to the post, explaining that they had banned farming bots. The developer stated:

“Yesterday, we banned 960,000 accounts of farming bots. This was the result of extensive investigations supported by user reports.”

The developer also pointed out that you can report bots via email. Please write “Farming Bot Report” in the subject line and send your report to:

Currently, it seems that this was the largest ban wave in a single day in the history of Counter-Strike 2. Recently, a ban wave from 2017 was considered the record holder, which banned around 40,000 accounts in one day (via DotEsports)

What is bot farming? In Counter-Strike 2, there are users who use bots to farm cases, for example. To do this, multiple accounts per person are used, which “play” automatically to earn weekly rewards. The “farmers” hope to achieve financial profit through the various drops from the bots.

Bot farming is considered one of the biggest problems in Counter-Strike 2 by many players. The 960,000 banned accounts demonstrate how large the number of bots used is. Depending on the server region, players report that they often play against bots – especially in Deathmatch.

Other games are also plagued by bot farms. For example, a company reportedly operated around 20,000 computers simultaneously with 50 employees and farmed gold in World of Warcraft. The bot farm controlled 160,000 characters simultaneously in WoW and was then stopped by the police.

A user’s PC looks like it came straight out of Resident Evil, and the inside is even worse

Many gamers know how important it is to clean their gaming rig from time to time. Otherwise, it can turn into a health risk in the worst case. A user perfectly demonstrates with his computer why regular maintenance is important.

What kind of computer is it? The user “GPU-Collector” reports in his Reddit post from March 24, 2026, that a friend asked him for help with his PC. The computer was said to not be starting anymore.

The builder agreed and received a nasty surprise upon opening. The removed motherboard and the entire CPU cooler were covered with a thick layer of various-colored dirt.

It is also important to take special care of your components during the current RAM crisis, as a replacement is not always possible. A summary of the rising prices is given in the following video:

Start video
Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes

Why is the condition of the PC so bad? According to the builder, the computer was not only extremely dirty on the outside, but it was also said to have smelled like a mixture of cat urine and dust.

Later, the Redditor shares a picture of the functioning, cleaned motherboard in a comment on the original post. However, the appearance of the horror computer’s case is not mentioned in the post. Nevertheless, the dirty motherboard was already dangerous without a case.

But even gamers without pets can accumulate a lot of dust over time. Another user, for example, shows what his rig looks like after 8 years of operation.

Dirt can be treacherous 

Why does the computer pose a risk? Apart from the unpleasant sight and smell, there are several potential sources of problems when operating such a device:

  • Performance can be massively affected because, among other things, the CPU cooler was coated with a thick layer of dust and thus was less able to dissipate heat. In serious cases, such contamination can also lead to a failure (according to Corsair).
  • Dust is easily flammable and can quickly become a fire risk, which not only causes damage to the hardware but can also spread beyond the computer (via YouTube).
  • Accumulations of dirt and animal excrement can present a health risk in the form of skin irritations, respiratory problems, and dizziness, especially if a person is exposed to them for an extended period (according to rug-rehab).

Therefore, it is important to clean a computer regularly to prevent such risks.

How do I quickly and easily clean my computer? There are many ways to clean your hardware, and therefore we have put together some tips for you:

  • Important: Always disconnect your devices from the power supply first and discharge yourself by using an anti-static wrist strap during cleaning. Otherwise, an electric charge can damage your components.
  • Blow dust out of your PC using a weak air duster, for example. However, do not use a vacuum cleaner, as the strong airflow can damage important parts. We also recommend not dusting your computer inside your own four walls, as this only unnecessarily spreads the dirt.
  • For dirty surfaces, use a microfiber cloth and a small amount of isopropanol. This evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. However, wear gloves and ensure that your skin does not come into contact with the alcohol.

For most users, it is often sufficient to clean their computer every few months or only once a year. What matters is that it is not completely forgotten and that the device does not mutate into a potential risk. It is also not the first time that a Redditor has complained about dirty hardware: User complains about a dirty PC he needs to clean – Shows with a picture how harmful smoking is to your hardware

LoL player is rejected by a team so that male players do not flirt with her: “Unfortunately everyday life”

The professional scene of League of Legends is mostly represented by male players, yet there are women who play at a similar level. With this passion, many of them are looking for a team to compete in tournaments and other leagues. Unfortunately, there is also a sexism problem in this scene.

What’s happening in the professional scene of LoL? The LoL player Caltys shared a screenshot of a chat conversation on X, where she was apparently contacted by a former employee of a team explaining why she was rejected as a new ADC. According to the chat, the situation seems to have occurred a few years ago.

For the employee, Caltys was the best choice as ADC, and he also communicated his opinion to the team’s management. However, the management disagreed and rejected Caltys. The reasoning: The team did not want a woman as a player because the management feared that the other team members would prefer to flirt rather than play.

After the post received several hundred thousand views, Caltys gave a small update on X. There, the player writes: “I didn’t expect this to make such waves… For me, this is unfortunately a very normal experience in everyday work.”

The 23-year-old continues that she has been hearing such reasons since she was 16 and finds it sad that nothing has changed since then.

Caltys is not the only player rejected due to her gender

What else has been released? On the same day, another player shared a chat log on X, stating that player Colomblbl was also rejected due to her gender.

The message states: “In your tryouts for Team Insidious, there was a very loud and a more reserved person who believed we shouldn’t take you because you are a woman and therefore automatically worse.”

It is unclear whether this was a situation in December 2025 or two years ago. Such situations are unfortunately not isolated cases. In the Subreddit for League of Legends, the topic has also been shared and similar cases have been described in the comments.

What does the community say about the issue? The Reddit user Questica shares further situations in which female players experience some form of sexism. He has worked as a semi-professional coach in North America and has experienced several situations in which female players were rejected due to their gender.

Other users express shock in the comments, stating that this is the definition of sexism. The fact that the management of the team assumes that other players would rather flirt than play is, according to some users, sexism against male players (reddit.com).

Unfortunately, sexism is a recurring theme in the professional scene of League of Legends. In 2025, top laner Bwipo made derogatory comments about women. According to him, women should not play competitive games during their menstruation: LoL pro makes derogatory comments about women, team benches him and donates his prize money

After 180 hours in Forza Horizon 5, I can hardly believe how good the successor looks – even without a powerful graphics card

Forza Horizon 6 has shown detailed system requirements. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann is impressed with how stylish the game looks, without needing to buy high-end hardware.

Forza Horizon 5 is one of the most beautiful racing games of recent years for me, with a gameplay loop that could keep me engaged for many hours. So far, the game has occupied me for about 180 hours, and there are likely to be a few more hours added before the release of Part 6.

Speaking of 6: Forza Horizon 6 looks not only stylish in the first gameplay videos but also takes many things to the next level: Part 6 also looks more realistic and natural than the somewhat colorful predecessor set in Mexico.

What I find particularly impressive: Part 6 not only looks better than its predecessor, but the hardware requirements are actually reasonable. If you want to enjoy the game “only” at high settings, an older mid-range graphics card is already sufficient.

Xbox Showcase zeigt Einblicke in Forza Horizon 6

For high graphics settings, you only need older mid-range hardware in Forza Horizon 6

What hardware do you need? Forza Horizon 6 should be playable even with entry-level hardware. Even for WQHD and high graphical settings, you only need older mid-range hardware, as the developer has now presented in an official blog post: An RX 6700 XT or an RTX 3060 Ti.

Therefore, you can probably enjoy the game in really stylish visuals without needing to buy a new PC, unless you are already playing Forza on the Xbox or PS5. If you play in Full HD, you can even increase the graphical settings further and possibly utilize ray tracing, provided you have the appropriate graphics card.

And I find that truly impressive. Already, Crimson Desert has proven that you don’t necessarily need a high-end system for stylish visuals. The sequel is said to rely on the ForzaTech engine, which is also expected to be used in the new Fable installment. The controversial Unreal Engine will likely not be used.

Since I personally upgraded to an RX 9070 last year (2025), a decision I still don’t regret, I can now play with full ray tracing according to the official requirements.

During the Xbox Developer Direct on January 22, 2026, Playground Games talked for about 12 minutes about Forza Horizon 6 and provided first insights into the gameplay and game world of the racing game. My colleague Dariusz was immediately thrilled, although only a quarter of an hour was shown: Forza Horizon 6 convinced me in 12 minutes to drive through Japan for 70 euros

An actor from Breaking Bad appears in only 2 episodes of One Piece, declaring the Netflix series the best experience of his life

An actor from the Netflix series about One Piece is currently causing a stir with his farewell speech among the film crew and fans alike. He has been in show business for 43 years. However, the current series is a particularly special experience for him.

Which actor is it? Marc Harelik plays the role of Doc Bader in One Piece. He is the foster father and mentor of Chopper, who was transformed from a reindeer into a human-animal hybrid by a Devil Fruit.

The actor has been active since 1983 and has appeared in numerous films and series, including Jurassic Park 3, Breaking Bad, and The Big Bang Theory (as seen on IMDb). He has thus starred in several well-known universes and has had a shining career.

Nevertheless, One Piece is the peak of his career, as he revealed in an emotional speech. And that’s despite the fact that he only appears in 2 episodes of the series.

One Piece as the Best Experience Ever

What did he say? After filming his final scene, Mark Harelik gave an emotional speech in front of the film crew. With a bouquet in hand, he thanked all the people behind the camera and impressed them with a very special sentence:

That was the best experience of my long career.

Mark Harelik, as seen on Reddit

This is due, among other things, to the great crew and the fact that he received so much help from them. Considering that the actor has been active for over 40 years, this statement is particularly significant. 

He has starred in the best series that exist, yet he finds the experience of One Piece even better. On IMDb, Breaking Bad is ranked as the best TV series of all time.
