Amid the legal battle with Nintendo, Palworld announces its release – Reveals what still needs to happen

Cedric Holmeier 16. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

While the lawyers from Palworld continue to argue with Nintendo, the developers of the monster collector have announced their release on Steam. They explain what still needs to be done.

How is it going with Palworld? The developers of Palworld have talked in the video about how their monster collector has evolved since the release on Steam and consoles. They explain what they have already accomplished:

Update V.0.2 brought raids and raid bosses into the game
Update V.0.3 added the Cherry Blossom Island Sakurajima to the game and also brought many new pals and features for gameplay quality
Update V.0.4 introduced Feybreak as another continent, which also introduced new pals and new mechanics
Update V.0.5 finally allowed crossplay between the console and PC versions of the game
Update V.0.6 brought monsters and items from the survival game Terraria to Palworld

Next, the big winter update of Palworld is to follow. However, according to the developers, it is supposed to be a bit smaller than the last updates, mainly because they are already working on the full release 1.0.

The big release is coming in 2026

What about the release? Palworld is currently in early access, meaning it is in a playable development version. However, with the full release of the game, it should not simply be “finished”; the developers have a clear agenda of what still needs to be done.

The devs explain in the video on YouTube that they know that Palworld still has many pitfalls and bugs. They want to address these issues completely so that the game runs smoothly at the final launch.

For Update 1.0, the developers also want to release a “massive amount of content” that still needs to be developed. When exactly the full version will be released, the developers have not disclosed yet. However, they state that the goal is a release in 2026.

How is the legal dispute with Nintendo progressing? Recently, there was news from Nintendo regarding the legal dispute between the two companies. It became public that Nintendo has filed for a patent that exclusively allows them to summon monsters and have them fight directly.

A lawyer spoke critically about the approval of the patent and also criticized the authority that approved the patent in the USA. The lawyer believes: “This approval should not have happened. Period.”

Instead of working on Palworld, a developer prefers to play Crimson Desert: “Wants to stay at home and play for 12 hours straight”

Everyone knows Henry Cavill, but hardly anyone knows how he got started

In the video, the developers also talk about their own publishing company. Due to the great success of Palworld, they have gained financial resources to help other developers. One of the beneficiaries could even be the DOOM creator himself: “Save them, Bucky” – DOOM creator loses publisher support, could get help from Palworld

Spongebob Squarepants has been winning a special award for 23 years, but once the sponge had to concede to another series

Caroline Fuller 16. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The popular animated series SpongeBob SquarePants is considered one of the most popular cartoons of all time, as evidenced not only by its popularity and internet presence but also by its awards. Only one series was able to surpass the sponge as “best cartoon” once.

Which award is being referred to? SpongeBob SquarePants by Stephen Hillenburg is an animated series that first aired in 1999 on Nickelodeon in the USA. A few years later, in 2003, the series won the Kid’s Choice Award for “Favorite Cartoon” for the first time, which was just the beginning of its winning streak.

Since the victory in 2003, SpongeBob has won the same award year after year, even until 2025. However, it could not defend this title flawlessly, as another popular series from your childhood once contested the title. In 2008, SpongeBob SquarePants was not named Favorite Cartoon, but another animated series on Nickelodeon: Avatar – The Last Airbender.

Here you can see the trailer for the Netflix adaptation of the series that was able to dethrone SpongeBob as favorite cartoon:

The epic battle against the Fire Lord was more popular than Bikini Bottom

What did Avatar – The Last Airbender achieve? The series is still well-known and extremely popular among fans due to its nostalgia factor, a Netflix reboot, and its upcoming continuation of the Avatar spin-off “The Legend of Korra”.

In 2008, three years after its premiere, the third and final season, referred to as “Book” in Avatar, was released in which the airbender and Avatar Aang, along with his friends, stood on the brink of the battle against the tyrannical and power-hungry Fire Lord Ozai – an indication of why Team Avatar was able to surpass SpongeBob that year.

The Reddit user Psykpatient explains, however, what really caused the victory, as the winner of the Kid’s Choice Award in each category is not entirely dependent on the votes as one might assume from the name, but rather through “votes and other methods”.

“SpongeBob wins every year because it would be embarrassing for Nickelodeon to let anything else win apart from their mascot,” writes Psykpatient on Reddit, “[Avatar] won because there was a coordinated fan campaign that was so large that there would have been an enormous backlash if the series had not won.”

What do other fans say about the success of both series? SpongeBob SquarePants and Avatar are two series that were very popular in the early 2000s and are a significant part of many childhoods. Under a Reddit post with nearly 10,000 upvotes, fans celebrate the success of both series.

“I remember it like it was yesterday,” writes Bearspoole on Reddit, reminiscing about the final episodes of Avatar, “No other series has had the same effect on me since. I wish I could see those four episodes for the first time again.”

Other fans also have to admit that Avatar’s victory was truly deserved. GyaradosDance writes: “I love you, SpongeBob, but sometimes it’s refreshing to see others win” (via Reddit)

A random event in the open world of Borderlands 4 provides fantastic loot, but one mechanic frustrates players

Niko Hernes 16. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Borderlands 4 offers a vast open world. There is plenty to do in it. One of these events promises a lot of loot, but one mechanic is causing players trouble.

What is this event? If you are exploring the open world of Borderlands 4, you can discover random events. The so-called Rift Champions are world bosses that can spawn on the planet Kairos. You can recognize these events by large, transparent domes.

When you enter this dome, you must fight one or even two bosses. Which bosses appear is random, just like the occurrence of the event. If you defeat the boss, you not only receive loot from the defeated boss, but you also get a loot box as a reward, which, with a bit of luck, may also contain legendary weapons.

The YouTuber KackisHD showcased how a battle and the rewards afterward can look like in his video. According to his experience, there is even more loot than from story bosses. During the story, the world bosses can therefore be quite rewarding.

However, you can also fail. If you die or go outside the dome during the fight, the boss despawns. Especially the latter causes frustration among some players.

Start video

Autoplay

This is literally the only thing that frustrates me at the moment

What is the biggest problem with the world bosses? The problem with the dome is that the boss despawns immediately if you slightly leave the area. Depending on how the area is structured, it can happen in the heat of the moment that you dodge in the wrong direction and the fight suddenly ends.

Some enemies can even knock you back, causing you to unintentionally leave the area. This can be frustrating, especially when you were just about to defeat the boss. Many players express this in a current Reddit thread in the Borderlands subreddit. They conclude that it just doesn’t feel good.

_Nari_ (Reddit) is one of the players who didn’t know this and thought there was a hidden timer for the fight: Yes, that happened to me when I first fought a world boss, my back was out and I didn’t even realize I was despawning the boss as he was about to die.

For coffeestainedpaper (Reddit), it is currently the only point of criticism about the game: This is literally the only thing that frustrates me at the moment

TAJack1 (Reddit) even reports a boss that flew outside the dome and could no longer be hit.

In multiplayer, these problems seem to be even more frustrating because one player can cause the entire boss to disappear with one wrong step. However, among the comments, there are also suggestions for improvement. For example, a countdown that alerts the player to quickly return to the area.

Due to the fast-paced fights in the game, many players will likely experience this. Especially explosions and many enemies can quickly cause you to lose track and land in the wrong place. However, this seems to be a problem that can be easily fixed.

If you are looking for powerful loot and a good place to farm, a simple boss could currently provide the perfect spot, which is also worthwhile for the endgame: A boss in Borderlands 4 gives you awesome loot and can be defeated in 10 seconds.

A character from Game of Thrones made a serious mistake – the consequences were even worse in the series than in the book

Christoph Waldboth 16. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The series of Game of Thrones has made some changes from the book. Among other things, a mistake of Robb Stark was made much worse because the showrunners changed his great love.

Attention Spoiler: We reveal a crucial twist in Game of Thrones that leads to the death of certain characters in the article. If you want to catch up on the series, you should stop reading now.

Which character is it about? Connoisseurs of the book “A Song of Ice and Fire” have certainly raised their eyebrows in surprise while watching the series adaptation Game of Thrones. As is often the case with adaptations, some things have been changed, including the character Jeyne Westerling.

She belongs, as the name suggests, to House Westerling. She meets Robb Stark during the conquest of Highcliff, where he is wounded. Jeyne tends to him and stays by his side until he gets better. Shortly thereafter, a wedding occurs, which quickly turns into a real problem.

For actually, Robb was supposed to marry a daughter of Lord Walder Frey to form an alliance with him. This would allow Robb and his forces to pass through the strategically located Frey fortress called “Twins” to cross the Green Arm of the river Trident.

The breach of the marriage promise ultimately leads to the so-called “Red Wedding,” during which Robb, his mother, and others of his entourage are invited to the court of Walder Frey and die in a massacre there.

Jeyne herself is not at the wedding and therefore survives. For the adaptation as a series, the showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss changed this aspect and simply replaced the character with another one, including a tragic fate.

Start video

Autoplay

Different character, even more drama

What was the change? Jeyne Westerling does not exist in the series. Instead, Robb Stark meets the healer Talisa Maegyr in Season 2 during the Battle of the Green Fork. Robb sees her helping injured soldiers and supports her in that.

Even then, Talisa has a great fascination on Robb. When his mother Catelyn Stark notices this, she admonishes her son: he is promised to another, namely a daughter of Walder Frey.

One night, Robb then tells Talisa that he does not intend to fulfill the promise. Talisa also confesses to him how much she likes him. The two eventually get married, which sets off a chain of tragic events.

Talisa and Robb travel with their entourage to the seat of Walder Frey, the “Twins”. There, Robb is to make amends for his wrongdoing by having his uncle Edmure Tully marry a daughter of the Freys in his place. He hopes to forge the alliance after all and gain more troops. Initially, Frey agrees, but then betrays Robb and his house. The subsequent celebration goes down in series history as the “Red Wedding” – and is loosely based on real events.

Alongside many supporters of the Starks, some important characters die in Episode 9 of Season 3: Robb, his mother Catelyn, and also Talisa, who is pregnant at that time.

What does the change cause? The Red Wedding is a shocking sequence in the series that remains in memory for a long time. Even for George R.R. Martin, it was difficult to write in text form. Some important characters die unexpectedly. As if that weren’t bad enough, Robb’s wife and their unborn child also perish.

To the audience, the scene appears even worse: we know that a mother and her child are dying, though they are actually innocent. This triggers deep concern and a state of shock within us. The showrunners knew exactly what strong emotional effect they could achieve with this change – and the effort paid off. Moreover, the scene is quite bloody.

To this day, the Red Wedding ranks among the most memorable moments in the series. With it ended the story of Robb, Talisa, and their child. In the book, the actual queen of the North continued on: she returns in the following books and George R.R. Martin has already confirmed that the character will also appear in the highly anticipated sixth novel.

Until then, fans will have to be patient, as Martin is known for working very slowly. What do you think of the change? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. George R.R. Martin himself has even expressed doubts about completing his mammoth project: “Maybe they are right” – Author of Game of Thrones is unsure if he will ever finish it.

World of Warcraft has too few tanks – The community has some solutions for it

Cortyn 16. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Tanks in World of Warcraft have it tough – they have to do more than anyone else. That’s why hardly anyone wants to play Tank.

If you want to tackle group content like raids or dungeons in World of Warcraft, you need a group that ideally is at least somewhat competent. While there are DPS characters like sand on the beach, healers are a bit rarer. However, almost no one plays a Tank.

The reasons for this are manifold. Tanks have a lot of responsibility and must learn far more than other group members. This is an issue that the community is also addressing, as they desire many solutions.

Start video

Autoplay

What are the problems of Tanks? When you look at the difficulties faced by Tank players, it quickly becomes clear why Tanks are seen as characters with a lot of responsibility. Not only do they have to set the pace, but they also need to take the perfect route.

After all, in “Mythic+” an optimal amount of enemies must be defeated for the dungeon to be successful. However, memorizing the perfect paths along with the exact enemies to attack or avoid is quite an effort that other roles don’t have, and one of the most frequently mentioned reasons in the WoW Subreddit:

“I used to love tanking, but not anymore. Route planning is the problem – I just don’t care enough to memorize the optimal routes for every dungeon.
I’m a guy with a job and kids. Who has the time to do homework for a game?” – _Gobulcoque
“Route planning is what made me stop tanking. It’s just 100x more work than for healers or DPS.” – Any_Morning_8866

DPS characters and healers, on the other hand, often manage by simply “following the tank.” While they also have tasks to fulfill, the sheer amount of information that non-tanks need for a dungeon is significantly lower than that of their colleagues who use their faces to provoke enemies.

Another problem is that essential information is not accessible in the game. For every dungeon, a required number of enemies must be defeated. This fills a percentage display that should reach 100% by the end of the dungeon. The catch: how much percentage individual enemies give is not revealed in the game. For that, you either need special interface addons or must do your research on websites beforehand.

More features that primarily help Tanks

It seems clear that Tanks need a little support here, and that should primarily come from in-game features.

How could the Tank problems be solved? The community has some ideas on how to make life easier for Tanks. Some of the most popular approaches so far are:

A feature that allows you to mark a preset path in the world. This way you could see how to navigate through the dungeon – at the push of a button, the path lights up so you never lose your way.

Others don’t see navigation as a problem, but rather the lack of preparation options in the game:

“Route planning isn’t the problem itself, it’s more because you have to rely on external sources and guides.
You want to incentivize tanking? Then give us a way to do solo practice runs so we can just know the percentages before joining a group. Maybe a version of the instance where only dummies stand or something.” -Dramos11

A final problem is likely also a part of the community that gives Tanks no room to experiment or learn to tank in peace. Because newbie Tanks are often not welcome.

After Nostalrius came WoW Classic, now the end of Turtle WoW must lead to WoW Classic Plus

A free new Borderlands came out of nowhere so that players believed it was a fake and 2K had to comment

One particularly popular response is this one, which would likely help many a Tank more than anything else:

“I should be able to delete the character of any player who types “???? Tank?” in chat when I’m playing the normal route and behaving accordingly.” – Hagurusean

Whether Blizzard implements some of the ideas and wishes before the release of the next expansion Midnight remains to be seen. But so far, the developers at least show the intention to make many features a core part of World of Warcraft. Thus, popular features from “Boss Mods” addons will soon become a fixed part of the game.

Borderlands 4: System Requirements – What Your Gaming PC Needs for the Fight Against the Timekeeper

Dariusz Müller 16. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Those who wish to confront the Time Keeper in Borderlands 4 need not only strong firearms but also the right hardware.

Borderlands 4: Map of Kairos – This is how big it is in comparison

Christos Tsogos 16. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The new map of Borderlands 4 shall be gigantic compared to older maps of the series, but how big is it really? We show you the action’s setting compared to other maps of well-known titles.

What is Kairos? In Borderlands 4, you as a vault hunter will be stranded on the planet Kairos, which serves as the setting for the story surrounding the continuation of the shooter. However, Kairos is no ordinary planet, but a gigantic prison where you and other inmates are doomed to stay.

The most interesting change in Borderlands is how Kairos functions. You will not be able to explore various locations and maps like in older titles. Instead, Kairos has been developed as an open world where you will remain from start to finish.

If you are worried about boredom, we can reassure you: Kairos is gigantic, and this is especially evident in its dimensions.

Update from September 16, 2025: We have structurally adjusted the post.

The size of Kairos in comparison

How big is Kairos in comparison? Since Borderlands 4 has not yet been released, fans have relied on Reddit, simple tricks, and mathematics to find out how big Kairos actually is. By means of video footage from Borderlands, along with an approximate overview of the walkable planet, the approximate size has been determined to be around 54 km².

As a number, it may seem rather vague, as scales in games feel different than in reality. However, other maps and their relative sizes have also been determined, and thus we arrive at the following comparisons:

Map of GTA 5: 75.84 km²
Map of TES: Skyrim: 37 – 40 km²
Map of Elden Ring: 79 km²

It is important to mention that Borderlands 4 will also offer missions and locations that take place both in the air and underground. These areas will likely expand the map by a good deal.

What makes Kairos so special? Aside from the open world that is new to Borderlands, it is primarily the diverse world events that make the planet seem more vibrant. When you zip across the landscape in your vehicle, it may happen that you receive a parkour or drilling event that promises you rewards if you succeed.

These events are purely random and cannot be encountered or forced in the same location. If you are lucky, such an event appears, and if not, then not. This feature encourages exploration, as one wants to try everything.

It remains to be seen how the map will play at release. Borderlands 4 is expected to offer more innovations that its predecessors did not have.

Borderlands 4: Everything about crossplay, co-op and split screen

Borderlands 4 gives you the opportunity to loot and level up with friends in co-op once again. But what about crossplay and splitscreen on the many platforms? MeinMMO explains everything you need to know.

Update from 16.09.2025: The article has been structurally adjusted and reviewed.

Will there be crossplay and co-op? Yes, as in the predecessor, you will be able to play Borderlands 4 in co-op and with crossplay.

Many people love the Borderlands series because it is playable in co-op. Borderlands 4 does not want to change that and offers options for multiplayer.

We will explain how crossplay, multiplayer, co-op, and splitscreen work in this article.

Cross-progression and cross-save will not be available at the release of Borderlands 4. However, the developers have stated on Steam that they are considering adding this feature.

Borderlands 4: Co-op and Multiplayer

How does multiplayer work in Borderlands 4?

The developers’ video also shows a matchmaking button, so it seems that there will also be the option to randomly join other lobbies.

For the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X, a paid subscription is required to play online.

How many people can I play Borderlands 4 with in co-op?

A total of four people can play Borderlands 4 in co-op.

Borderlands 4: The Best Graphics Settings and Optimization Tips

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. September 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

Borderlands 4 has launched. MeinMMO presents tips and advice on how to optimize the shooter on your PC.

Borderlands 4 is facing various performance issues at launch. Some players are heavily affected, while others can play without problems. MeinMMO has compiled a series of tips for you on how to adjust your game and ideally optimize it so that the shooter runs smoothly:

Check system requirements
- What hardware is installed in the PC?
Properly optimize Borderlands 4
Borderlands 4: The best graphics settings

Check your system requirements

In the first step, you should definitely check your hardware in the system again. If your hardware does not meet the requirements, you must expect that there will be problems. At this point, we will list the requirements for Borderlands 4:

Minimum Requirements:

Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A580

Recommended Requirements:

Processor: Intel Core i7-12700 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Memory: 32 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Intel Arc B580

How to find out what hardware is installed

What hardware do I have in my PC? You have two options to easily find out your hardware:

You open the Task Manager on Windows and switch to the “Performance” tab. Here you can click through the various tabs and see your installed hardware (CPU, Memory, and GPU). If you have two GPUs (GPU 0 and 1), you have a processor with an integrated graphics unit.
Type dxdiag into Windows and start the DirectX Diagnostic Tool: In the “System” tab, you will see your processor and memory, in the “Display” tab, you will see your graphics card and the available video memory (VRAM).

Additional notes: The manufacturer states that an SSD is mandatory. Generally, the game can also run on an HDD, but then you must expect long loading times.

Make sure you have enough storage space available on your main partition where Windows is installed. If you do not have enough storage, the operating system does not have sufficient space to swap certain data, which can cause problems.

Properly optimize Borderlands 4

Basically, there are various ways for you to save performance in Borderlands to get better performance and more FPS.

Where can you optimize?

Reduce shadow quality and spot shadow quality: Shadow calculations are very demanding.
Reduce texture quality and anisotropic filter quality: Depending on your GPU, a lot of performance can be saved here.
Reduce or disable volumetric effects (fog, clouds): These effects usually require a lot of performance.
Set post-processing quality to a lower level.
Limit the frame rate: Prevents your graphics card from running at maximum performance and can improve performance.
Upscaling methods like DLSS, FSR, TSR, or XeSS can massively increase performance by lowering the internal rendering resolution and then upscaling it, reducing the number of pixels the GPU needs to calculate.
Install the game on the SSD: If you haven’t already, move your game to an SSD. This can improve performance.
Enable Frame Generation (NVIDIA): Can significantly increase FPS, but only if you already reach at least 60 FPS or more. Otherwise, it may cause unsightly graphics errors. Frame Generation can only be used since the RX-4000 series.
Reduce field of view (FOV and vehicle): The smaller the field of view, the less your graphics card has to render the environment. A high field of view can cause frame drops during fast movements.

Borderlands 4: The best graphics settings

Who are the settings suitable for? Our recommendations are aimed at the average mid-range that most players use. If your graphics card is faster (Nvidia RTX 3080/4080/5080 and higher or AMD 6800 (XT), 7800 or faster) or slower (Nvidia RX 3060/4060/5060 and slower or AMD RX 6600/7600 and slower), you should adjust the settings accordingly or have more room for improvement.

Simple settings:

Display mode: Full screen or windowed-full screen
Resolution: Depends on your monitor and graphics card
Show values: FPS if you want to check your values, otherwise “Off”
Limit frame rate: On
Custom FPS limit: 80
V-Sync: Off if you have an FPS limit, or On if you’re playing without an FPS limit.
Calibrate display: As needed
Calibrate HUD area: As needed
Field of view (FOV): 70-80
Field of view (Vehicle): 70-80, a high field of view can cause stutters and FPS drops

Advanced settings:

General

Graphics preset: Custom
Anti-Aliasing: Disabled when using upscaling

Resolution scaling

Upscaling method: Depending on the graphics card: DLSS (Nvidia), FSR (AMD) TSR (Epic), XeSS (Intel)
Upscaling quality: Balanced
Spatial upscaling quality (only with TSR): Balanced
Scene capture quality: High
Frame generation (only DLSS): Off, On
NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: On with Nvidia graphics card, otherwise Off.

Environment

HLOD loading range (Hierarchical Level of Detail): Far
Geometry quality: High
Texture quality: High; depends on the VRAM memory of your GPU, if less than 8 GB lower the quality to Medium.
Texture streaming speed: High or Very High
Anisotropic filter quality: x4
Foliage density: Medium
Volumetric fog: Medium
Volumetric clouds: Medium
Shadow quality: Medium
Spot shadow quality: Medium, set to “Low” for weak graphics cards
Volumetric cloud shadows: Enabled
Light quality (Lumen quality level): Medium
Reflection quality: Medium
Shading quality (Material quality level): Medium

Post-processing

Post-processing quality: High
Motion blur: 0.0
Motion blur quality: Off

New survival MMO looks like a mix of Stalker and Fallout 76, features PvE and PvP, opens Open Beta in October

Benedict Grothaus 15. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Pioner has released a new trailer. The studio from Serbia showcases the PvP and PvE content of their new MMO shooter with fresh gameplay. An important announcement is made as well: The beta starts in October, and the game is scheduled to fully launch in 2025.

What kind of game is this?

Pioner is heavily inspired by the popular Stalker franchise, but aims to combine its survival elements with MMO content.
You play on an island cut off from the mainland, which is still in the Soviet era and where you can find various NPC factions. Exploration and crafting are two of the central features of the game. Previous gameplay was somewhat reminiscent of The Division with zombies.
Initially, Pioner was scheduled to launch in 2023 but has been delayed multiple times. Since then, it has landed on over 100,000 wishlists on Steam. The current target release is still 2025.

This is what Pioner shows now: In the latest trailer, PvP and PvE content of the game can be seen. With various weapons, you fight your way through facilities that strongly resemble Escape from Tarkov and face off against players or NPC enemies.

PvP is restricted to zones like the “Shadowlands,” so it is probably mostly optional, similar to Fallout 76 or The Division. The gameplay also features a social hub, a small settlement where players gather and form groups.

Along with the new trailer, there is the announcement of the Open Beta on Steam, which is set to start in October. A concrete date is still pending. The release is still targeted for 2025, also without a specific date. Consoles will receive the release at a later time.

Autoplay

Pioner blends RPG, survival, and MMO shooter

At its core, Pioner is a shooter when it comes to pure gameplay: You almost always have a weapon in hand, which you can also customize through crafting. Realism plays an important role here. For instance, you do not have a health bar or traditional levels.

However, you can also complete quests with the various factions on the island and presumably gain reputation. Dungeons will also be scattered around the environment, offering additional loot.

Despite the focus on realism, Pioner has a strong fantasy or mystery component with occult rituals, zombie-like mutants, cults, and some rather strange weapons like those with Tesla coils.

Pioner apparently aims to appeal to both shooter players and survival fans, similar to how the big predecessor Stalker already did. If you are looking for more great games in the genre, you can find a wide selection in our list: The 31 best survival games of 2025 for PS5, Steam, and Xbox

Borderlands 4: Farming Eridium – How to Get Rich

Christos Tsogos 15. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Borderlands 4, there is the rare currency “Eridium”. You only get it very slowly, but there are tricks to farm it. How you can achieve this efficiently is shown in our guide.

Where do I spend Eridium? During your journey through Kairos, you will encounter the resource “Eridium” through completing missions and challenges, as well as randomly in the world. This rare material now has a completely different function compared to its predecessor. With the currency, you can now acquire three things:

Reset boss fights with Moxxi’s machine
Reset specializations
Firmware transfer

With Moxxi’s machine, you can now respawn a boss fight without having to reload your instance – but the procedure costs Eridium.

It is also possible to reset your specializations. There is a machine for this in various camps, which you can use for some Eridium.

Lastly, you will sooner or later encounter the former vault hunter “Zane” while progressing through the main story. This guy has developed a special machine that allows you to merge two weapons. This procedure also costs Eridium.

Now you know where to spend the currency, but to become powerful in the endgame, you should stock up on Eridium. We will show you 3 ways to farm the resource.

Start video

Der Trailer zur Launch-Woche von Borderlands 4

Autoplay

Farming Eridium – Here’s how to do it quickly

To quickly get Eridium, you should complete the jobs on the notice boards in the countless camps and safehouses. These range from contract killings to sabotage missions and provide you with Eridium and money quickly and with little effort.

Importantly, some contract killings will send you into battle against crystallized enemies, who will give you a higher Eridium yield when you defeat them – these jobs are rare.

Another option to obtain Eridium is to complete challenges from your menu. The challenges are tied to your character or weapons, and you must, for example, accumulate kills or land critical hits.

Another option that we would rather not recommend, but still want to mention, is the repetition of story missions from the campaign. Here, too, you will receive a small amount of Eridium, but the missions can become tedious over time and often take a long time to complete.

Additionally, there will be countless reacts from participants, former candidates, and other enthusiastic influencers again.

7 vs. Wild Participants: These participants are in Season 5

These 7 candidates are participating in the fifth season:

Joe Vogel – Survival expert
David Leichtle – Survival expert
Jeannine Michaelsen – Moderator
Imke Salander – Fitness influencer
Fibii – Twitch streamer and content creator
Kris Grippo – Swiss content creator
AviveHD – Gaming and comedy creator

Fritz Meinecke is not an official candidate this year and is also not involved in the production of the season. He has withdrawn from the format. He will be replaced by the local host Hervé Neukomm.

Borderlands 4: Black Market Location – Where can you find Maurice’s black market machine?

The fifth season was filmed in the Amazon rainforest

In a video about the series, Amazon announced where this year’s season will take place. The new season takes place in the Amazon rainforest . Instead of on the coast, at a lake, or in a valley, the participants are sent into the dense, relentless jungle. Geographically, the participants can expect a humid tropical climate with extremely high humidity.

The new season will be filmed in a challenging and uncontrollable location intended to push the participants to their limits. Starting a fire and searching for food are the central survival strategies here.

What do the candidates need to pay attention to this year?

The focus this year is again extremely on survival and less on simply “waiting out” the time. The candidates must navigate the dense jungle and cope with extreme conditions such as humid heat, poisonous animals, and unpredictable weather conditions. Building a shelter that provides protection is likely to be more critical than ever this year.

As in Seasons 3 and 4, the series will be filmed again this year for 14 days. Which items the participants will ultimately receive is still uncertain. There is still only speculation about the format. A group outing is just as conceivable as a new scenario. A dispute from the last season wants Twitch streamer Knossi to resolve once and for all: Twitch streamer Knossi wants to lock the biggest troublemakers from 7 vs. Wild in a container and watch live what happens

EA FC 26: Web App Release – Everything about start, login, and content

Julian Schröder 15. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Before the release of EA FC 26, the release of the Web App is planned. Additionally, the Companion App for iOS and Android will be released. You can find all the information about the launch of the apps here.

What is the FC 26 Web App? The Web App has been an integral part of the Ultimate Team experience for many years, allowing players to tinker with their teams. It is a browser app where you cannot play games in FC 26, but you can work on teams and tactics, complete SBCs, or sign new players.

You can find the key information about the release and early access here: When will EA FC 26 be released? All the information about the release date, early access, and preload

EA FC 26 Web App Release: Start Date, Time, and Access

EA FC 26 Web App Release Date: On Wednesday, September 17, the launch will begin. The release time could be around 7:00 PM, as in previous years.

This release date has been officially confirmed by EA.

Where can I find the Web App? You can access the Web App via the official EA website here. Currently, access is not yet enabled.

Keep in mind that it can be quite chaotic during the release of the Web App and the servers may be overloaded. This could mean a later access for you. This was always the case in previous years.

When does the Companion App for EA Sports FC 26 launch? The Companion App for iOS and Android will be released one day after the Web App.

EA FC 26 Companion App Release Date: Thursday, September 18, 2025.

Start video

Autoplay

Who can access the FC 26 Web App? The “Web App” login before the FC 26 release is only available for returning players who already had an account in FC 25 Ultimate Team. Additionally, the account must be “in good standing” according to EA, which means that you have not been flagged for unauthorized activities in the transfer market or similar issues in the past.

Is a download required? You do not need to download the Web App. It can simply be accessed in the browser once it is available.

The situation is different for the FC 26 Companion App. A download is required here. If you already have the mobile app, you can update it when the new version is released.

Can I use the Web App without FC 26? For now, yes. If the conditions above are met, you can use the app without the game and even before the actual release of FC 26. However, in the past, this access without the full game was limited to a few months.

Content and Benefits of the FC 25 Web App

This is what the FC 26 Web App offers: Both apps can be used to manage your Ultimate Team.

So far, features have included:

Setup and tactic settings for the teams
Completing Squad Building Challenges
Using items like contracts
Selecting cosmetics
Utilizing the transfer market
Viewing TOTW
Redeeming rewards from modes like Squad Battles, Weekend League, and Division Rivals
Completing objectives
Buying packs in the store
Redeeming EVOs, especially special EVOs exclusive to Web and Companion App

Basically, the FC 26 Web App allows you to start tinkering with your team even before the full game is released.

But even after the release, the Web App is practical as it offers you the opportunity to trade, change your lineup, and solve SBCs while you are not actively playing FC 26.

An absolute OP weapon in Borderlands 4 is not a gun, but a plain throwing knife

Max Handwerk 15. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Borderlands 4, the throwing knife is becoming a fan favorite. The reason: With these small knives, you can sometimes inflict more damage than with anything else.

The Borderlands series is known as a loot shooter, but it’s not just about guns. On one hand, there are incredibly bizarre weapons that only loosely qualify as “firearms”, and on the other hand, there are plenty of other things you can throw at your enemies.

New in Borderlands 4 is the option to find throwing knives from Jakobs. And in a game series that offers rocket launchers, laser beams, or cloning, teleporting grenades, a knife might initially sound weak.

But these things can be really dangerous with the right perks.

Players hunt for the perfect knife in Borderlands 4

What makes the throwing knives so good? In the Borderlands 4 subreddit, many players are sharing their experiences. One post gained attention: A user shared on Reddit his find of the “Bullseye Vivisecting Throwing Knife” from Jakobs.

The knife received over 1,400 upvotes and generated more than 250 comments. In the replies, many are also searching for such a knife. But why?

The answer: The knife has various abilities that make it incredibly dangerous.

The upgrade “Damage Amp Payload” ensures that hit targets take 15% more damage for 5 seconds.
The “Penetrator Augment” ensures that all damage dealt to the target is critical hits for 5 seconds.
Additionally, there’s a 24% chance for critical damage.
And Jakobs grenades (that is, the throwing knives) deal critical damage on weak point hits.

In short: A lot of critical damage is being dealt here. Especially, the “Penetrator Augment” ensures that other damage also becomes critical. The most impressive example that utilizes this effect is currently possibly the strongest build in the game: Vex, the Siren, can take down bosses in mere seconds.

Where to find the knife? This is the good and bad news: Everywhere and nowhere. It’s a world drop that could appear anywhere. This means you always have the chance to find it, but you can’t farm it specifically.

If you want to specifically hunt for the knife, it’s best to farm bosses or loot spots that yield a lot of loot. And then it’s just a matter of hoping!

Developers of Path of Exile 2 don’t listen to the fans, creating the best season so far, now the players have the next idea

Cedric Holmeier 15. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Path of Exile 2 have not implemented the biggest wish of the players with the last season. Now the players have the next idea for the developers.

What have the developers not listened to? The developers of Path of Exile 2 have not introduced a new class in their new season. The major update “The Third Edict” was instead about a big story expansion as well as a revision of the endgame and class balance.

Although the developers have not listened to the players, many veterans have expressed great satisfaction with the season. Now the players have a new idea of what the developers should implement.

Here you can see the trailer for the new season:

New idea to not be implemented

What are the players suggesting this time? Although their calls for a new class were not heeded last time, the players have new wishes about what the developers must implement. The players explain on Reddit that next, the endgame needs to be adjusted.

Now that gearing has been improved through better crafting and trading in PoE2, the next focus should be on improving maps and the endgame. Here, players complain about too much insignificance in the game.

They lack a goal to strive towards. While there are already bonuses for completing various maps in the endgame, these do not represent a real goal. The players feel more like they are doing homework instead of playing a game.

As Reddit user MacGregor1337 writes: “I call them homework maps. It feels similar to pressing buttons in WoW. Sometimes even like world quests. This feeling of ‘Why am I even doing this again?'”

How should the developers change this? Players are lacking a goal and a real progression system that they can achieve. While the continuous character improvement in Path of Exile 2 is always in focus, players should have more to do that provides them with an advantage or unlock.

Many comments criticize the endless killing of monsters and bosses until the players lose interest. kithuni expresses this sentiment on Reddit: “The endgame needs a thorough overhaul. Honestly, this endless map/tower system does not fit together at all. The towers encourage staying in one place and grinding, while the map invites exploration. The whole thing needs a complete overhaul. […]”

According to the players, the developers should create a progression system that fundamentally overhauls the Atlas and focuses sharply on a goal. However, the endless possibilities for gameplay should not be taken away.

Pokémon GO: Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today?

Paul Kutzner 15. September 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A spotlight hour is coming up in Pokémon GO. We will show you which bonus is active, which monster is featured, and whether it’s worth it.

What is a spotlight hour? A spotlight hour is a 60-minute event. It takes place every week on Tuesday. During this time, there is a featured monster accompanied by a bonus.

On September 16, 2025, the next spotlight hour will take place. Here you will find Gothita, the Psychic Pokémon from Generation 5. It can evolve into Gothorita and then into Gothitelle.

Spotlight Hour on September 16, 2025 – Start and Bonuses

When does the spotlight hour start? As usual, the event starts at 6:00 PM. Exactly 60 minutes later, at 7:00 PM, it ends again.

What bonus is active? For every monster you catch during the event, you will receive double the amount of experience points. It doesn’t matter which Pokémon you catch: The bonus applies to every captured monster.

If you also use lucky eggs, you can even receive four times the amount of experience points for each catch.

Can you catch Shiny Mollimorba? Yes, the Shiny variant of Gothita is already available in the game. However, the chance of encountering a Shiny version is not increased during the event.

Is the spotlight hour worth it? If you’re on the hunt for strong monsters, then this spotlight hour is not for you. Gothita and its evolutions are not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

This applies to both raids and the battle leagues. In both areas of the game, you should rather focus on other monsters.

If you want to collect experience points before the change of the level system in Pokémon GO, you can use the event to earn some additional points.

Huge strategy game on Steam has a new DLC, is “extremely negative” – studio apologizes, causes even more trouble

Benedict Grothaus 15. September 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The creators of Crusader Kings 3 have released a new DLC called Coronations. The new content is not being received well. Now the publisher is publicly apologizing for the disaster – and is facing even more criticism.

What kind of game is this?

Crusader Kings 3 is a historical 4X strategy game where you mainly manage diplomacy, economy, and war. You play as a historical leader during the time between the 9th and 15th centuries – somewhere in Europe, North Africa, or parts of Asia.
There are no real “goals”, other than expanding your rule and keeping your dynasty alive. Many players try to create the Übermensch through inbreeding and genetics.
Paradox, the company behind the strategy game, is known for absurdly complex games. The studio even takes pride in the fact that no one really understands their strategy games – this also applies to Crusader Kings 3.

This is what’s happening with the new DLC: On September 9, 2025, Coronations, the most recent DLC for Crusader Kings 3, was released. The DLC brings two new features to the game: coronations and oaths, meaning a pompous ceremony followed by rulership promises. You pay 5 euros for Coronations – something that was already criticized in advance.

On Steam, the reviews are currently at a “very negative” 17% with 671 votes (as of September 15). Users are dissatisfied with the content: What the DLC offers should have been part of a free update and feels like content from a mod in the Steam Workshop.

It is deemed cheeky to charge money for something like this, they say: “Too much nothing.” The DLC brings too little new content to the game and what it does bring is either not fitting for the gameplay or completely bugged.

One player even responds with the legendary phrase: “Is this an out of season April Fools joke?”, which was used when Diablo Immortal was criticized. There is only praise for the fact that coronations were historically significant and thus a meaningful expansion for Crusader Kings 3.

“It hurts when we screw up this badly”

In an official blog post on Steam just one day later, Riad, the QA manager of PDS Black, the studio behind Coronation, publicly apologizes for the DLC. PDS Black is a sub-studio of Paradox.

In the post, Riad states that Coronations is not up to the “standard that you deserve” and he himself takes responsibility for it. They are currently investing many resources into the expansion “All Under Heaven” and have therefore neglected the DLC – that is no excuse for the quality, just an explanation.

Riad explains that they want to test better in the future to avoid bugs and set higher quality standards. Additionally, there was a patch released that already resolved many of the major issues.
