The new patch notes confirm: Dawn of the Hunt destroys all builds currently rocking Path of Exile 2

Cedric Holmeier 3. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Path of Exile 2 have released the patch notes for the new season “Dawn of the Hunt”. Many nerfs for previous builds are included, which does not please the players.

What is in the patch notes? Two days before the start of the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” for Path of Exile 2, the developers published the patch notes for it. In addition to the already known new features like the Huntress and the new expansion classes, the patch notes contain numerous nerfs for skills and items.

Although the nerfs were already announced, the implementation causes dissatisfaction within the community. Particularly, some of the dominant builds from the last season are significantly weakened.

The new season of Path of Exile 2 starts on April 4 at 21:00. The following trailer can help you get in the mood:

Nerfs for the Meta

What will be nerfed? The developers have already announced that they want to weaken overpowered meta builds. So the very skills and items will be nerfed that have been used by many characters for quite some time.

While some skills are detailed with new attributes, it is also stated in the patch notes: “For many skills, the base damage and/or damage increase per level has been rebalanced. Most of these changes will not be mentioned separately below, as the changes are too extensive.”

Even Dosi4 is upset on Reddit: “Ouch Infernalist/Demon Form cripples […]”,

Many players complain about the loss of their previous builds. Particularly painful for many is the complete deactivation of Grim Feast, which is to be revised for this season.
The user forgot_my_useragain writes on Reddit: “I had hoped that the Grim Feast nerf wouldn’t be so bad. I’ll just try to pretend it never existed :(“

Call of Duty gives you a new setting to avoid cheaters – but one platform is neglected

Dariusz Müller 3. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A new setting for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone is supposed to improve the gaming experience on PS5 and Xbox.

What kind of setting is this? Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are getting a new setting with the start of Season 3. From then on, you can restrict crossplay, which means playing together with players on different platforms, to consoles in Ranked.

In both your team and the opposing team, there will only be players who are playing on Xbox or PlayStation. PC players will be excluded when this setting is activated.

Already with Season 2 in January 2025, Black Ops 6 and Warzone received the option to completely turn off crossplay in Ranked. However, this also ended the cooperation between Xbox and PlayStation players.

With Season 3, Verdansk returns to Call of Duty: Warzone:

Crossplay setting is supposed to improve your gaming experience

Why does CoD allow you to exclude PC players? Experience has shown that most cheaters play Call of Duty on a PC. Activision confirmed this in a new blog post (via callofduty.com).

While about 60% of player reports are against console players, Activision’s data shows that only an extremely small portion of cheaters are on consoles.

The ability to exclude PC players from matchmaking with the crossplay settings reduces the chance of encountering a cheater for console players. This gives you more control over which platforms you play with and allows you to avoid cheaters better.

Monster Hunter Wilds punishes cheaters in the future – does not spare even innocent players

Alexander Mehrwald 3. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

So far, Capcom has given players of Monster Hunter Wilds a lot of freedom when it comes to mods and cheats. This is set to change, as an official statement shows.

Why is Capcom now taking action against cheaters? On Friday, April 4, 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds will receive its first major update with TU1 (Title Update 1). In addition to new challenges and monsters, arena quests will also be added, where you can compete with other players.

In doing so, you can secure a spot on the official leaderboard as well as exclusive rewards for participation and placement. Those who complete the tasks with pre-made armors the fastest will achieve high rankings.

Prior to this, there had been concerns from the community as many players resorted to mods and cheats due to Capcom’s previously liberal policy, manipulating the gaming experience for themselves, but also for others – much to the annoyance of the affected players.

Therefore, Capcom now wants to take action to ensure that the new challenges remain fair and entertaining. They will provide the details in a freshly released statement via x.com. However, there is also a catch that can affect players who are not cheating themselves.

Start video

Autoplay

Ban Despite Fair Play?

How does Capcom plan to tackle cheats? The statement mentions that players participating in fraudulent leaderboard activities can be banned or have restrictions imposed on them. This applies to both obvious cheats and external programs (mods). Groups in which at least one player is found to engage in prohibited actions will not be listed on the leaderboard and will receive no rewards for it.

The measures specifically also affect players who do not use programs themselves but are part of groups where at least one player violates these guidelines. Participants are therefore encouraged to report suspicious teammates in order not to get caught in the crossfire themselves.

However, individuals who are mistakenly suspected of engaging in prohibited behaviors will not be compensated later with participation and leaderboard rewards. Therefore, you should handle reports from other players carefully.

So far, these measures apparently only affect leaderboard battles. Nevertheless, you should also be cautious outside of that and especially make sure not to jeopardize other players’ gaming experience. Because already in March, there were reports of players whose accounts were banned.

A new tool helps you predict in LoL whether you’ll lose before the match

Niko Hernes 3. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In League of Legends, one of the most important aspects in the ranked mode is the draft, meaning the selection of champions. A lot can be determined from that point. A player has now developed an AI that is highly likely to tell you whether you will lose the upcoming match.

What kind of AI is this? The user Funny-Occasion-1712 showed a new AI on Reddit that he has developed. The LoLDraftAI is supposed to predict how likely you are to win or lose the upcoming match already based on the selection of champions.

However, there are restrictions. It only works for the last 3 patches and only based on the ranks Emerald, Diamond and everything above Master. It is also noted that data on less played champions is less precise.

Start video

Welcome to Noxus – Opening Video for the First LoL Season 2025

The AI shows you which team is likely to win

How does the AI work? In the Reddit post, the developer states that the AI can supposedly predict 62% of ranked matches. The data for the AI comes from Riot itself; developers can access the numbers there. According to the AI’s developer, the current version was created from data of about 10 million matches.

He also worked on an AI for professional matches, but according to him, that didn’t work out because there are simply significantly fewer data than for the regular solo queue.

With 62%, the AI would also be quite accurate, especially considering that it only concerns the draft. If you input a team for both sides, the win probabilities of both teams will be predicted, along with the influence and the possible gold lead at 15 minutes.

How is the community reacting to the AI? The Reddit thread currently (as of 02.04.2025, 10:30) has 2,310 upvotes and over 420 comments. Most commentators are asking questions about the AI and the data used. User backelie (via Reddit) suggests turning it into a quiz where you should predict which team is more likely to win just from the draft.

Having your own car in a country in Asia is like wearing a thick Rolex here with us.

Yana 3. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Owning a car in Singapore is extremely expensive. The system aims to reduce traffic and emissions, but makes cars a luxury item. Many therefore rely on the efficient public transport system, while others do not want to give up their own vehicle despite high costs.

Which country is being discussed? Singapore, the small city-state between Malaysia and Indonesia, boasts just over five million inhabitants. There, a car is not just a means of transportation but a symbol of wealth.

As reported by the magazine Xataka, one must pay a hefty price to drive a car there. This is due to the Certificate of Entitlement (COE). A license that costs up to $76,000 before one can even purchase a car. For larger vehicles or SUVs, prices rise to over $106,000. Thus, driving in Singapore is more expensive than ever before.

Those who are passionate about cars will enjoy Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Here you can see the trailer for the racing game MMO.

Start video

The new racing game MMO will be released in September 2024

Autoplay

Driving as a luxury good, rather than a necessity

Why is driving in Singapore so expensive? The COE system was introduced in 1990 to reduce traffic chaos and pollution. Since Singapore, as a small city-state, has limited space, the government enforces strict regulations on the number of vehicles.

Twice a month, COE licenses are auctioned on platforms. The license must be purchased per vehicle and is valid for 10 years. Prices rise rapidly depending on demand. For many residents, the high costs have become hardly bearable.

This is the alternative to a car: Singapore has one of the best public transport systems in the world. Buses, trains, and ride-sharing services like Grab often make a car unnecessary. A ride rarely costs more than two dollars, just a fraction of the monthly costs of owning a vehicle.

Motorcycles are also an alternative, as their COE is comparatively cheap at around $7,900. While it is a challenge for some residents to do without a car, others see it as the price of a well-organized city.

A system with advantages and disadvantages

What is the downside of the system? While wealthy individuals can easily afford the fees, middle-income families are under pressure. Since the license expires after 10 years and must be re-acquired, many families face the decision: Should they keep their car, scrap it or export it?

As reported by the New York Times, a couple paid $58,000 for a used Hyundai and now has to spend over 10% of their income on maintenance, insurance, and gas.

The advantage for the city: Unlike megacities like Bangkok or Jakarta, where daily traffic jams paralyze transportation, Singapore remains mobile. The strict system ensures free roads, less pollution, and more efficient movement.

Those who can afford it enjoy the freedom of their own four wheels, while for many, public transport remains the better option. A car is like a Rolex, nice to have but not necessarily needed. Luxury does not mean owning a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Instead of driving a super sports car as a status symbol, the car becomes a symbolic possession that conveys wealth.

The sci-fi role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 finally arrives on a Nintendo console after 5 years

Niko Hernes 3. April 2025 Reading time < 1 minutes

Nintendo has published new information about the Switch 2 in a first detailed Nintendo Direct. In addition to technical details about the new console, there was also information about upcoming games. In 2025, players can look forward to a new version of Cyberpunk 2077.

Note from the editorial team: In the original version of the article, the title was misleadingly formulated and has been adjusted by us.

In the latest Nintendo Direct, the Japanese studio announced new details about the console as well as games for the upcoming console. Third-party manufacturers also showcased their titles for the new hybrid console.

CD Project Red announced that the Sci-Fi role-playing game, Cyberpunk 2077, will also come to the console. Cyberpunk 2077 will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the launch day of the console, June 5.

The game is being released in the so-called Ultimate Edition, meaning the DLC Phantom Liberty will be included right away.

Path of Exile 2 Director Explains How Secure the Full Release is in 2025

Cedric Holmeier 3. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Many players are wondering when Path of Exile 2 will leave Early Access and celebrate its full release. In an interview with MeinMMO, the director revealed more information about this.

What is the status of the release? At the start of the Early Access of Path of Exile 2, Game Director Jonathan Rogers originally announced that the development phase on Steam and consoles would last about 6-12 months. The first major update ‘Dawn of the Hunt’ brings numerous improvements and only one new class – and this is despite the fact that four of the announced six to twelve months have already passed.

During a press preview of the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” for Path of Exile 2, Game Director Jonathan Rogers answered questions from journalists. This also included the question about the complete release of the ARPG in 2025.

Game Director Jonathan Rogers stated that he is doing everything he can to fully release Path of Exile 2 in 2025. However, he admits that he is not entirely sure if the development team can meet the schedule. The release is still planned for 2025 and is also possible, according to Rogers.

The new season “Dawn of the Hunt” is set to start on April 4, 2024. You can watch the trailer here:

The new classes determine the release date

What are the developers’ challenges? Later in the conversation, Rogers was also asked about the development. He indicated that the new classes present a significant challenge for the developers. Their development is significantly more complex and resource-intensive than that of bosses or new items.

The final release also depends on whether all classes can be completed in time. A release with fewer than all of the announced classes would likely disappoint many players.

After the delays of the Early Access and the fact that one third of the announced development time has already passed, many players have little confidence in a 2025 release.

Nintendo fans are discussing wild rumors about the release on Reddit and speculating about what the Japanese company will reveal. As a comparison, they are taking the Nintendo Direct of the Switch 1 and counting the following points that were included in the reveal back then:

Overview of hardware
Information on the console’s release with price
Announcement of Switch Online (back then, probably not relevant today)
Presentation of the controllers
Reveal of various Nintendo games, including Mario Odyssey, Arms, and Splatoon 2
Reveal of various third-party titles such as Dragon Quest X and Skyrim

The Nintendo Direct is expected to last 60 minutes, so there’s enough time to announce strong titles for the launch of the console in addition to the console itself.

11:41 AM

A small detail was discovered on the German Nintendo site, which indicates that the new Tomodachi Life may only be sold as a digital version (via nintendo.com).

Whether Nintendo will change the part on the product page or not is still unclear. New games that have not been released yet are being promoted with both a physical and a digital version.

11:07 AM

Nintendo applied for a renewal of the US trademark “Nintendogs” on February 7, 2025 (via reddit.com). This may not mean anything and may have only been requested to maintain trademark rights. However, it could also indicate a new title for the Switch 2. More will likely be known about this sometime in 2025.

10:04 AM

The mystery surrounding the enigmatic “C” button may have been solved. According to a Mexican advertisement from the company “Best Buy”, the button is referred to as “Cursor”. Whether this actually refers to a cursor is still unknown. The leak has been deleted on Reddit, but a screenshot of the advertisement still exists on imgur.

Good morning, everyone! The ticker is active again, and we will keep you updated with the most important information regarding the Nintendo Direct today.

First of all, we would like to know which games you wish for the Switch 2. Feel free to participate in our survey.

The Nintendo Direct could last up to 60 minutes, according to the official YouTube channel (via youtube.com).

In addition to Nintendo games, third-party games could also make it to the Switch 2. Rumors mention Elden Ring, Fallout 4, or even Call of Duty. MyMMO editor Alex provides the details in his overview: Third-party games you can expect on the Nintendo Switch 2 – rumors and speculation

1:03 PM

If you look on the official Nintendo website (via nintendo.com), it’s clear which titles could be released for the Nintendo Switch 2. The following candidates are among those:

TomoDachi Life: Where dreams come true (Release 2026)
Rhythm Paradise Groove (Release 2026)
Pokémon Legends: Z-A (Release late 2025)
Mario Kart 9 (Briefly visible in the trailer)
Metroid Prime 4 (Release 2025)

Classics like Zelda or Animal Crossing have not been confirmed, but it is very likely that they could receive one or another sequel.

Additionally, fans will be able to play some of their Switch 1 titles on the new console. A list of compatible games is expected to be released at a later date.

Good day! We are starting the ticker a day before the Nintendo Direct, so we can summarize the most important leaks and background information regarding the Switch 2 and possible game titles for you. The start time and the place where you can watch will be linked below in our post.

When does the Nintendo Direct start? The Nintendo Switch 2 is to be presented in the Nintendo Direct, revealing new information regarding the Nintendo Switch 2. The event takes place on April 2, 2025, at 3:00 PM German time. Nothing more has been officially announced about the event, but it is quite possible that the price and upcoming games for the console will also be presented.

Where can I watch? You will be able to see the video of the Nintendo Direct on the official YouTube channel of Nintendo. Here’s the link to the channel: Nintendo DE on YouTube.

A reveal would be nothing without some leaks to see before the start. If you’d rather wait for the official announcement, feel free to bookmark our page and return later or tomorrow morning. We will then pack the most important information, news, and reveals into our ticker, so you don’t have to see everything from the Direct – but now let’s get to the leaks.

All known leaks about the Switch 2 and the games at a glance

Are there any leaks yet? There are many leaks concerning the mysterious “C” button of the Switch. It has been often portrayed by Nintendo, yet its use remains a mystery to fans. Leakers are now sharing their theories, which are as follows:

The button is said to be known under the codename “Campus” and provide network features. What exactly this means is unknown. It could relate to voice chat and other social functions (Source: famiboards.com)
The button stands for “Connect”. One can connect their Nintendo Switch 1 with the new console generation and use it as a second screen (Source: youtube.com)

Both rumors are realistic, but we cannot say for certain whether either is correct.

As for the games, the situation looks rather poor. Mostly, classic titles are possible such as a new Mario, but there’s no reliable sources predicting any titles yet. So we must wait until just before the Direct for this information.

Players on PS5 and Xbox cannot believe that the new game from FromSoftware is not coming to their consoles

Christos Tsogos 2. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Nintendo has developed an exclusive title for its new console “Nintendo Switch 2” that will particularly make fans of Bloodborne drop their jaws to the floor. The Duskbloods is supposed to be a new game from the FromSoftware developers, and the similarity to Soulsborne cannot be denied.

What exactly is The Duskbloods? The new title from the game studio FromSoftware is said to be a PvPvE game that clearly focuses on multiplayer, similar to Elden Ring: Nightreign. In total, up to 8 players can compete against each other or fight together against enemies. You take on the role of one of the “Twilight Bloodlines,” beings who have gained superhuman powers through the power of their special blood.

The art style and story strongly resemble Bloodborne. One might think Duskbloods is a sequel, but it is a new brand that is supposed to be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. After the reveal, fans already had enough time to react to the game, but what are the opinions of the fans?

Bloodborne 2 could convince if it weren’t an exclusive

How have fans reacted to the new title? With mixed feelings. Many players were astonished and immediately thought of a sequel or prequel to Bloodborne. The excitement for a successor was immense, especially among those who have been waiting for 10 years. However, when the Nintendo exclusivity was revealed, the players’ excitement dampened. The following opinions can be found on Reddit:

“This makes no sense at all. How much did Nintendo pay them for that? I am very, very disappointed that From is making another exclusive game. They made huge revenues with ER [Elden Ring].” – Appropriate_Army_780
“I can’t believe that Bloodborne 2 really exists and that it is exclusive to the Switch. Who among you used a monkey’s paw to make this happen?” – ComaCrow
“I can’t believe that Fromsoft is making another exclusive game after the Souls franchise and Elden Ring have been successful on multiple platforms for all these years.” – field_of_lettuce
“Since it’s been so long since they released an (major) exclusive game and their last multiplatform games sold extremely well, I really thought they were done with that. It feels bad to have been wrong.” – 79792348978

When will the game be released? The Duskbloods is set to release in 2026. A specific date is not known. Since the game will only be available on the Switch, fans of FromSoftware games will be forced to purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 if they want to try it out.

Even with Bloodborne, the exclusivity was not well received by fans of the genre – especially by PC players. Now that The Duskborn is also focusing on exclusivity, it is yet another disappointment for many fans.

It remains to be seen how well the game will perform at release. Elden Ring: Nightreign at least offers an alternative for a co-op game from the FromSoftware studio. You can find more about it here: Elden Ring: Nightreign – All info on release, gameplay, and price

A new mech game from a big studio starts terribly on Steam: Here’s what the developers say

Schuhmann 2. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Tonight on April 2nd, the new game from Wargaming, the developers of World of Tanks, launched on Steam: But the launch of Steel Hunters could hardly be going worse. After only an hour, the reviews on Steam are blood red, with significant technical issues.

This is how the first hour of Steel Hunters on Steam goes: Not well at all. The game has reached about 4,479 players on Steam, but the reviews stand at only 21% positive, with the majority being negative.

Many players complain that their PC is already lagging in training. There is heavy criticism of the login system. And even the people who can already play are mostly lowering their thumbs. The mechs feel slow and clunky.

The comments on Steam are really harsh. It is said that Wargaming should just stick to their tanks.

Wargaming has already released a statement.

Autoplay

This annoys players: A simple criticism is that players cannot even create an account because they cannot type an “@” and must instead paste the character.

Just that seems to be upsetting some players so much that they write a negative review on Steam after just a few hours.

Wargaming says: “Bug slipped through”

This is what Wargaming says about the problem: Wargaming states that they apologize for the “rough start” in Early Access. They tested the game, but a bug slipped through, which now appears when many players log in at the same time.

The team is working on a problem and is doing so as quickly as possible.

They are glad to welcome so many players.

What is the idea of the game? Steel Hunters is supposed to be a PvPvE battle game with mechs. Gigantic robots are meant to compete against each other.

Players should already be able to start with 7 different mechs, with 3 maps available.

It is planned that the launch in Early Access will be the soft launch, and everything earned can be kept.

Wargaming surely envisioned April 2nd differently; early reports made Steel Hunters look quite promising. Let’s see how quickly the experienced studio can improve here: The creators of World of Tanks put you back into steel machines, but this time it’s a shooter with mechs instead of tanks

We knew that a car game would raise prices in gaming for everyone: But it’s not GTA 6, it’s damn Mario Kart

Christos Tsogos 2. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Many players are concerned about rising prices in gaming. An analyst has predicted that GTA 6 could set new standards for the pricing of new titles, but now Nintendo has moved faster. With the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, prices for new games across the market could rise.

What has Nintendo revealed? On April 2nd, the Nintendo Direct took place, where primarily the new console “Nintendo Switch 2” was introduced. In addition to the console, new games were also revealed. Fans have now inquired on Nintendo’s site about the prices of the games and found that the Japanese company has significantly raised its prices (via nintendo.de).

This is surprising, because back in January an analyst reported on a new possible price trend for games, which was expected to be set not by Nintendo, but by Rockstar with GTA 6.

The price increase could potentially change the gaming industry now if other companies follow suit.

Games are getting expensive – Nintendo leads the way

How expensive are the new titles expected to be? According to Nintendo’s official site, 2 new games have already been priced: Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza – the former has a new price tag that could potentially blow some budgets. They are pricing them by edition as follows:

Mario Kart World
- Digital: 79.99 €
- Physical: 89.99 €

Considering that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch 1 only costs 59.99 €, this is a significant increase. Even console titles like Black Ops 6 at 79.99 € seem outdated in comparison.

With this new pricing strategy, other developers might finally feel encouraged to raise their prices, as the market has remained relatively stable, especially regarding game pricing.

The pain threshold for AAA titles is actually around $70, which is approximately 80 €, just like with Black Ops 6.

Why should prices be raised? According to analyst Matthew Ball, this is primarily because the gaming market does not look rosy. Many “Black Hole” games are currently being developed that aim to keep fans engaged for a long time – these include Fortnite, Call of Duty, and GTA Online. The market is tapped out.

To survive in the current situation, prices must be adjusted; otherwise, in the worst case, layoffs could threaten, Ball believes.

Since GTA is a huge brand and is expected by many gamers worldwide, Ball anticipated a price increase here. But now that Nintendo has taken the step with Mario Kart, it is only a matter of time before other companies follow suit.

Over 300 Employees Rise Up Against Microsoft, Including Testers of the MMORPG ESO

Caroline Fuller 2. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The workers of the QA team, who work on Bethesda titles like the Fallout series or Elder Scrolls Online, are fed up. They have waited too long for progress in negotiations for better working conditions, unfortunately not to their satisfaction.

What is the conflict about? Over 300 testers of the QA team, who are responsible for quality assurance of various games such as the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls, are taking the next step. They have voted for a strike, as negotiations for fairer compensation with Microsoft have stalled. This strike has not yet come into effect, but it could be initiated at any time.

A senior QA tester commented in a press release on the situation: “None of us want it to come to this, but if Microsoft and ZeniMax continue to demonstrate at the negotiating table that they are not willing to pay us fair wages for the value our work brings to our games, we will show them how valuable our work is.”

“Underpayment and expensive return-to-office initiatives have made many of us put our lives on hold because our income can’t keep up with the rising cost of living in the cities where ZeniMax insists we live and work to keep our jobs,” explains a senior QA tester in the press release.

What is the reaction in the community? In the Elder Scrolls Online subreddit, the players’ response to the situation is quite unanimous:

THEWIDOWS0N says: “I believe that these companies can only be made to pay a fair share if they are forced to.”

SailorEsmeraude comments: “I really hope the strike goes well.”

patiperro_v3 says: “Good luck to the workers. This is Microsoft for crying out loud, not a small shop on the corner, they can afford to pay sick leave. It’s ridiculous that a strike is even necessary.”

Instead of Monster Hunter Wilds, a monster hunting game is coming to Switch 2 that brutally flopped on Steam

Schuhmann 2. April 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In spring 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds is a big topic on Steam, PS5, and Xbox. Some monster hunters have speculated about a release for the Nintendo Switch 2, but that is currently not planned. However, a similar game is making a comeback: the almost forgotten Wild Hearts.

This is the announcement: KOEI Tecmo will bring Wild Hearts S to the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 25, 2025.

The action role-playing game is very similar to the Monster Hunter series and takes place in a fantasy world reminiscent of feudal Japan. You travel as a hunter through the land of Azuma, hunting gigantic monsters, Kemono. For the battle against them, you use 8 types of weapons and craft items that help you in your fight.

No one probably expected the game now, especially since the first release in the West failed disastrously over 2 years ago.

Start video

Autoplay

Wild Hearts was hardly on anyone’s release list for the Switch 2

Why does the game come as such a surprise? Wild Hearts had its release on PS5, Steam, and Xbox Series X in February 2023 and was clearly planned by EA as a replacement for the already phasing out Monster Hunter World.

However, despite decent reviews, Wild Hearts quickly proved to be a flop: the game was perceived as “way too expensive” at €80 and suffered from significant performance issues. The harshest criticism at the time was on Steam, stating that the price in euros was higher than the FPS that Wild Hearts could max out.

The number of players on Steam was not impressive even at the release in February 2023 and then quickly fell to abysmal numbers.

In September 2023, we reported on MeinMMO that EA was basically giving up on the title, and indeed not much happened in the game in the following months.

Some regretted the quick demise of Wild Hearts at the time because the negative atmosphere at the release was primarily due to performance issues and bugs. Those who gave Wild Hearts a chance praised the game to high heavens.

It will be interesting to see if Wild Hearts can now use its second chance for a fresh start. The comments on YouTube are mostly friendly:

“Oh boy, the game is still alive.”
“Bro, we’re so back.”
“I’m glad it’s not dead.”
“I’m glad to see competition for Monster Hunter Wild.”

As the developers announced, the Switch version, Wild Hearts S, is intended for 1 to 4 players.

Schedule 1: All Cheats in the List – How to Open the Console

Christos Tsogos 2. April 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In Schedule 1 on Steam, you build your drug empire, but some players want to take a shortcut using cheats. We will show you how to open the console, what cheats are available, and what effects they have.

Update, January 27, 2026: The article has been checked and is up to date.

How do I open the console? In Schedule 1, you can bypass annoying grind passages using cheats, but to do so, you first need to enable the console. Follow these steps:

Press ESC to open your menu
Select “Console” under the “Game” tab and enable it

Since the game is only available in English, you must change your keyboard layout to English to open the console. Once you have installed the English layout, you can quickly switch your layouts with the Windows key + spacebar. This is important, as you need the tilde key (~) to open the console. Now let’s move on to the comprehensive list of all cheats and their functions.
