2 weeks after release, many players are still stuck in the starting area of Crimson Desert, but one warns: You are missing the best part

Two weeks after the release of Crimson Desert, many players are still hanging around the starting area of the open-world adventure. One player now thinks it’s time to see the world.

Why do players spend so much time in the first area? Crimson Desert establishes Hernand as the starting area right at the beginning of the game, along with many quests that can help the residents and factions there. Building up your own faction, including a base, can also keep players busy for dozens of hours.

Accordingly, few players are dedicating themselves to the campaign. Looking at the Steam achievements, only 8% of players had completed Chapter 7 of Crimson Desert as of April 2, 2026, at 9:00 AM. This means that 92% are still primarily engaged in Hernand in terms of the story.

However, despite Crimson Desert offering so much in the first area, one player warns to venture into the other regions before it’s too late.

Beware of Gaming Burnout

What does the player warn about? When you spend hundreds of hours in a game, everything eventually feels very familiar. Especially with large open-world games, many players never make it to the end because they can get lost in the thousand little details.

On Reddit, a gamer warns exactly about this phenomenon in Crimson Desert. Before players set the open-world adventure aside, they should, according to itsthatdudelmao, definitely venture into the other regions on Reddit.

Not only does Crimson Desert already bear an important region in its name, but the variety that the game world offers outside of the very classically shaped fantasy landscape of Hernand is, according to the player, beautiful.

For this reason, he shares pictures he took while traveling through the other regions of Crimson Desert.

How does the community respond to the player’s request? Players know exactly what the warning user is talking about and are somewhat weighing themselves in excuses:

  • HOPewerth: “I will do it, I swear! I just need to finish these last few quests….”
  • Frosty-Cap3344: “Just one more waterfall I need to check……”
  • Sea-Split-3996: “I have been wandering around, doing side quests, exploring, building my camp, I’m now at 40 hours in Chapter 5”

Player echolog explains on Reddit when the best time is to leave the starting area: “The answer is: Chapter 7. Everything before that serves to prepare you for the rest of the game, teach you the game mechanics, introduce you to the world, and so on. Every chapter from Chapter 7 leads you into a new zone and unlocks the rest of the world for you. Have fun!”

Just the name Crimson Desert tells players that there is more to discover than just Hernand. The scope of the title is simply massive, and those who put the game down without seeing the world outside of Hernand are truly missing out. The story also sends you on journeys: “Kliff” reveals the truth behind the story of Crimson Desert, explaining: Without him, things would have been even worse

The 7 most successful superheroes that made Marvel and DC billion-dollar franchises in cinemas

Superheroes are true giants in the cinema. For years, they have been among the most lucrative franchises on the big screen. But which hero has been the most successful at the box office? MeinMMO reveals it to you in a ranking.

How was this list created? We looked at the box office results of superhero movies and totaled them up to compare the overall results. For the ranking, we considered the figures from Box Office Mojo. Here’s our approach:

  • We tally all the box office results of the character.
  • We compare them with the overall result of the other movies.
  • Since not all animated films are released in theaters, we only look at live-action movies.
  • We rank the movies based on box office revenue without taking inflation into account. Keep in mind that films from 5 years ago earned more than films from 20 years ago, as cinema tickets have become more expensive over time.
  • Additionally, we provide you with the Euro amount based on the exchange rate of March 31, 2026 (Source: finanzen.net).

Furthermore, we exclude major team movies from this ranking, but mention 2 as Honorable Mentions. We only count the films in the franchise that have the specific name or a variation in the title.

Honorable Mention: X-Men – 3,108,695,431 US Dollars

  • approximately 2,704,875,894 Euros

X-Men: First Class – Trailer for the superhero movie by Fox
  • X-Men (2000): 296,339,528 US Dollars
    • approximately 257,845,023 Euros
  • X-Men 2 (2003): 407,711,549 US Dollars
    • approximately 354,749,818 Euros
  • X-Men: The Last Stand (2006): 460,435,291 US Dollars
    • approximately 400,624,746 Euros
  • X-Men: First Class (2011): 352,616,690 US Dollars
    • approximately 306,811,781 Euros
  • X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014): 746,045,700 US Dollars
    • approximately 649,134,363 Euros
  • X-Men: Apocalypse (2016): 543,934,105 US Dollars
    • approximately 473,277,064 Euros
  • X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019): 252,442,974 US Dollars
    • approximately 219,650,631 Euros
  • New Mutants (2020): 49,169,594 US Dollars
    • approximately 42,782,463 Euros

X-Men was the first major superhero franchise alongside Spider-Man that made a big impact in cinemas. The franchise performed quite well in those days, and even when you ignore the Wolverine and Deadpool films, the series achieved strong revenue figures.

Honorable Mention: The Avengers – 7,777,410,723 US Dollars

  • approximately 6,767,125,070 Euros
Start video
In Avengers: Age of Ultron, the heroes must face a self-built problem
  • Marvel’s The Avengers (2012): 1,520,538,536 US Dollars
    • approximately 1,323,020,580 Euros
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): 1,405,018,048 US Dollars
    • approximately 1,222,506,203 Euros
  • Avengers: Infinity War (2018): 2,052,415,039 US Dollars
    • approximately 1,785,806,325 Euros 
  • Avengers: Endgame (2019): 2,799,439,100 US Dollars
    • approximately 2,435,791,960 Euros

The Avengers are a force to be reckoned with, and especially Infinity War and Endgame were massive phenomena in theaters, grossing nearly 5 billion US Dollars combined. It’s no surprise, as almost all MCU characters unite in both films to defeat the Titan Thanos.

Even though almost 8 billion US Dollars is an enormous number, there is a hero on this list who has earned more at the box office. Who exactly that is, you can find out on the next pages.

Is RAM too expensive for you? Here are 5 alternatives to game without an expensive gaming PC

Hardware has become expensive. MeinMMO presents you with alternatives if you want to game but do not want to buy an expensive PC.

RAM, SSDs, and graphics cards are becoming increasingly expensive and those who want to buy a new gaming PC must sometimes dig deep into their pockets. However, there are viable alternatives to gaming without immediately investing thousands of euros in a new gaming PC.

There are several ways to still game well without having to buy expensive RAM, a new PC, or modern hardware. MeinMMO presents you with a few options.

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

Streaming like GeForce Now

With GeForce Now, the processing of your games is handled by the data center; you just need to have bought the games on Steam, Epic, and others. GeForce Now does not provide licenses for games. You ‘borrow’ the computing power; you must already own the games.

Advantages: You stream your own purchased games and do not need to borrow anything. GeForce Now provides you with the hardware. Multiplayer with friends is possible without any issues, but you should expect latency when gaming.

Disadvantages: GeForce Now relies on a paid subscription for around 11 euros. In the free version, you must expect waiting times and can only play for one hour at a time. Not all games are supported by GeForce Now. Additionally, you are allowed to play a maximum number of hours per month via GeForce Now.

Costs: Free with limitations or €10.99 per month as a subscription.

Pro
  • You stream your purchased games
  • GeForce Now provides hardware
  • Multiplayer is easily possible
Contra
  • Free version with significant limitations, subscription costs around 11 euros
  • Not all games are supported

What alternatives are there? Besides GeForce Now, there are also other streaming providers, such as Shadow PC, where you have an entire PC in the cloud. However, these offers are usually significantly more expensive than pure video game streaming.

PS5 and Xbox

Consoles like PS5 and Xbox are a good alternative if a PC is too expensive for you or if you would need an expensive upgrade. You will pay at least 600 euros for a PS5 starting April 2, 2026, for an Xbox Series X around 500 euros.

Advantages: With the PS5 and Xbox, you can enjoy all the major gaming titles of the current generation without issues in high detail. You generally do not have to worry about hardware and system settings on the console. You can usually start the game directly without any detours.

Disadvantages: You will need games for the respective console. Your Steam games, for example, cannot be used on the PS5. Both consoles offer a subscription (PS Plus or Game Pass) through which you can access a library of games for a fee. Additionally, multiplayer for some games is also fee-based.

Costs: About 600 euros for a PS5 or Xbox Series X. Additionally, there are about 10 euros for the subscription (PS Plus/Game Pass) if you want to play online.

Pro
  • sufficient performance for modern games
  • very accessible and beginner-friendly platform
  • many popular free-to-play games can be played online without a subscription
Contra
  • PS5/PS4 games required
  • many indie titles from Steam are not available
  • multiplayer is partly fee-based

What alternatives are there? Basically, you can also buy an old Xbox One or PS4, but you will have to sacrifice a lot of performance. Many games are now only released for the current platform (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S). Therefore, buying an old console makes sense only if you are on a tight budget and want to forgo the latest titles. Whether you should choose an Xbox or PS5 is discussed in MeinMMO.

WoW: Midnight has a recycled area and the players noticed it

One of the areas of World of Warcraft: Midnight was supposed to be released much earlier. It was later added to the addon.

World of Warcraft Midnight is well-received. It has an interesting story with a dense atmosphere and a red thread that runs from beginning to end – well, at least almost. Because there’s one area where the community raises its eyebrows and asks: Does this really belong? Wouldn’t it have fit better somewhere else? And they are right. Many hints have been found that the zone “Harandar” should have been published long ago.

Start video
WoW Midnight: Arator’s Light and the Firebrand

What was found? In one of his latest videos, YouTuber and analyst Bellular talks about the area Harandar in World of Warcraft. He is convinced that Blizzard originally planned this area for The War Within and only later moved it to Midnight.

This is evident not only from the flow of the story but also from many small details, both gameplay-wise and in terms of the story:

Harandar was supposed to be part of The War Within

How can this be noticed? In the first weeks after Midnight, there were quite a few bugs that only occurred in Harandar, indicating that this area was originally intended for “The War Within”. Some of the most notable hints:

  • When disenchanting items from Harandar, one sometimes received materials from “The War Within”.
  • Fishing in the depths of Harandar did not increase Midnight’s fishing skill but rather that of The War Within.
  • In The War Within, there was an unpublished area in the game data called “Rootlands” – this is still how Harandar is referred to in some places in the game, such as in the tailoring talent tree.

Additionally, the Haranir were supposed to have a larger presence in The War Within. After all, the Haranir were a prominent part of the first trailer for The War Within – but then appeared only as a side phenomenon. Many of their quests went “nowhere” and were never properly completed. Back then, everyone thought: Something must have changed in the story.

Even small story inconsistencies seem strange. It is said that the light blossom in Harandar broke out because the light from the roots of Shaladrassil was shining through the Sunwell – but the world tree Shaladrassil is extremely far from the Sunwell, which makes little sense. More likely, it was the roots of Beledar – the crystal in Healing Falls – that were illuminated. After all, you can see roots in Healing Falls that reach all the way to Harandar.

Is this really a problem? No, it simply shows that the development of the World Soul saga has changed over time. Originally, Harandar was supposed to be part of The War Within but was later added to Midnight. The area is still of high quality, and the stories have been adjusted to fit the main story of Midnight.

However, Bellular is right when he says that the story of Midnight would have worked well even if Harandar were not part of the expansion. To him, it feels like a “big side quest” – certainly cohesive and atmospheric, but a bit detached from the primary threat that is supposed to be fought in Midnight.
Sometimes it might also be better if things were cut longer – because even after 3 years, many still do not understand how the newest class in WoW works.

How do I redeem the codes? So far, there is no active way to redeem codes in Persona 5: The Phantom X. However, there were some available before the release. Since you unlock various functions gradually through the main story in Persona 5: The Phantom X, it is possible that the menu for this will be added back in the future.

If that is the case, go to the “Exchange Code” button in the main menu and best to copy your codes into the field to avoid errors. Then click “Submit.” If your code is current, you will automatically receive the hidden reward in your in-game mail.

Why might my code not work? Most of the time, codes that trigger an error message have simply expired. It may also be the case that certain codes are only activated for certain regions and therefore do not work in your country. But be sure to check for any typos in your code as well.

How to redeem codes in Warframe

To redeem codes for Warframe, simply follow these steps:

  • Go to the official website for redeeming the codes
  • Make sure you are logged in or log in
  • Enter your code and click on “Submit Code”
  • If everything went well, the free items will be credited to your account in the game

What can cause problems? If a code triggers an error message, it is mostly expired. Some codes are also region-specific and therefore cannot be redeemed outside certain countries. Also, check whether you have entered the code correctly – even a small typo can cause issues.

For example, typical errors are:

  • 0 (zero) and O (uppercase O)
  • I, l and 1 (uppercase I, lowercase L and one 1)

If you want to make sure that your code is correct, it is best to copy it from the list and then paste it into the provided field.

Warframe is now proudly 12 years old and still enjoys great popularity among its fans. Regular updates and larger expansions provide continuously new content. A YouTuber explains what makes the game so good: YouTuber plays 1,000 hours of a loot shooter on Steam, explains why the game is still so good after 12 years

Pokémon Legends: Z-A – All valid codes and Mystery gifts (April 2026)

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, there are codes that allow you to obtain free items through Mystery Gifts. Everything you need to know about this can be found here.

What Mystery Gifts are currently available? Through Mystery Gifts, you can snag various items and Pokémon for free on different occasions. Some require codes, while others can be obtained simply via an internet connection.

The following Mystery Gifts are currently available:

  • No Code: Project M, Mewtunit X, Mewtunit Y
    • Completion of the main campaign required
  • No Code: Diancite Stone with Extra Mission
    • Through a Mystery Gift, you will receive the Diancite Stone and the Extra Mission “Shine Bright like a Gemstone.” With this stone, you can also evolve Diancite into a Mega Evolution.

Note that you will need a stable internet connection to redeem the gifts and that they can only be redeemed once. You will receive the individual codes via email when you make your purchase.

We will continuously update the article as new codes become available. Feel free to check back regularly!

Update from April 02, 2026: There is no new code for free items. The old codes are still valid.

Entering Codes – How to Obtain Mystery Gifts

When can you start receiving Mystery Gifts? You unlock this feature after speaking with Magnolia for the first time during the third main quest. This takes about an hour of playtime, provided you don’t stray from the path.

How do you redeem codes? Open the menu using the X button. Then select “Multiplayer/Online” and find the “Mystery Gift” option there.

You will then have the choice between the following options:

  • Receive via Internet
  • Receive via Serial Code/Password
  • Check Mystery Gifts

If you have a code that you want to enter, you need to choose the second option and simply input the code and confirm. You will find your Mystery Gift under the last item in the previous view.

Note: You need a stable internet connection for this. A subscription is not required – you only need a Nintendo Account.

You do not need a subscription for any of these gifts. If you act quickly after release, you can also secure a special Mega Evolution. However, you need a subscription for that, which could be worth it for many: If you grind fast enough, you can obtain a limited-time Mega Evolution in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but you need a subscription for that.

What is the status of The Division 3? Leading Ubisoft developers break the silence, stating: The team is in a “really great position”

Since Ubisoft announced The Division 3 in 2023 as the next installment of its beloved loot shooter franchise, things have gone quiet about the third part of the series. However, the developers have now broken their silence.

Who is talking about The Division 3? The team from Massive Entertainment, which is responsible for The Division at Ubisoft, spoke in an interview with the online magazine gamesindustry.biz about the shooter franchise.

Part of the interview included Creative Director Yannik Banchereau and “The Division” Senior Producer Frederik Brönjemark, both leadership figures at Massive Entertainment.

Developers know exactly where The Division 3 is headed

What is being said about The Division 3: The developers revealed that there are two development paths at Massive Entertainment: one for The Division 2 and one for The Division 3. This should allow for learning across projects.

Although the developers cannot say much about The Division 3 at this point, the team is in a “really great position,” according to Creative Director Yannik Banchereau, as both teams share insights on “what works in a live game and what doesn’t.”

The fact that Julian Gerighty (formerly Creative Director and Executive Producer) left the studio in 2026, a driving force behind The Division, is “of course sad” for the team, but not a distraction, Brönjemark explains:

“As far as The Division 3 is concerned, we have our future and our roadmap, which is already secured, and we know exactly where we are going and what we want to do.”

Banchereau is also confident that the “The Division” franchise will still be around in 10 years.

To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the franchise, Massive Entertainment recently added a limited-time mode to The Division 2, in which the shooter plays significantly more realistically than fans of the base game are used to.

MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller really enjoyed this mode and wishes there was a way to play the shooter like this in the future. More on this here: The Division 2 has created a masterpiece with a new mode, and I wish this were a standalone game

In Call of Duty: Warzone you will soon be able to jump around just as uncontrollably as in Black Ops 7 – unless you are currently fighting for your life in a 1v1

On April 2, 2026, Season 3 will start in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone. This will not only bring fresh maps to the modes, but also upgrade the movement in Battle Royale.

Season 3 is around the corner and brings new content for Black Ops 7 and Warzone. The multiplayer will be expanded with nine maps, various weapons, and new modes, while Warzone will get a new POI called “Launch Pad”. Additionally, movement features that were previously known mostly from multiplayer will be introduced in Battle Royale.

What happens to the movement in Warzone? Starting with Season 3, the wall jump and grappling hook will be introduced in Warzone. Both mechanics will be available right from the start and open up new tactical paths on the map for you. With the grappling hook, you can specifically hunt down campers who have entrenched themselves on rooftops.

According to the developers, these features have now been integrated to enhance mobility with new movement options and reward individual skills after they performed well in limited-time modes (Source: callofduty.com).

The wall jump and grappling hook will therefore be available on all “Battle Royale” maps starting April 2, 2026, as well as in the Resurgence mode. However, they are disabled on one map.

Start video

On which map are the features disabled? The wall jump is disabled in the Gulag. Although the grappling hook is not explicitly mentioned in the patch notes, it can be assumed that it does not appear in the random loot of the Gulag, where you defend yourself in a 1v1 and fight to return to the map.

In the blog post on callofduty.com, the developers write: “Wall jumps are disabled in the Gulag. After all, we can’t let prisoners just escape, can we? You have to earn your way out.”

Players say: Useful to counter campers

How is the update received? On Reddit, there is at least consensus that these features will massively change the gameplay dynamics. Some players point out that this makes it almost meaningless for squads to secure the “high ground”.

Many also suspect that campers will likely not be pleased with the features as they can now be ambushed much more easily in their positions. User ChemicalPower2522 writes: “Finally a way to counter the people who are camping with 8 claymores in every corner of high buildings.”

MoSSiK619 notes that the grappling hook will almost become essential gear. Anyone wanting to pursue someone escaping with the grappling hook will need one themselves to keep up. However, many players are at least curious to try out the new gadgets in Battle Royale.

How the features will perform in the long term will be shown after the release of Season 3 in Warzone. Other movement perks in Battle Royale had recently faced criticism before their introduction, as some fans felt they made the game seem “lazy” and disrupted immersion. More about this can be found here: Fans are unhappy with new perks in CoD: Warzone, as they cause clunky movement

The new robot in ARC Raiders pulverizes players, but a lone fighter has found a way to take down the flying monster

The new flying robot in ARC Raiders is taking down players one by one. A Raider has now dealt with the dangerous opponent swiftly and almost “casually” eliminated him.

What kind of new opponent is this? With the “Flashpoint” update, a new ARC has emerged in the extraction shooter: the Vaporizer. This is a large flying machine that hunts players with destructive lasers and unpredictable attack patterns.

The Vaporizer is extremely ruthless, as it deals massive damage and can target multiple enemies simultaneously, literally grilling them with its laser.

A player has set a dangerous target and approached the Vaporizer to take it down.

Start video
ARC Raiders brings new Flashpoint update – there are rumors brewing in Speranza

Deadline 1, Vaporizer 0

How did the player take down the ARC? Instead of firing from a distance, the player, equipped with a mine, jumped from a building directly onto the Vaporizer.

As the machine ascended, he placed a mine on the surface of the robot. The player then jumped off again and moved to safety, as the mine was a Deadline, which deals 1,000 damage in a 10-meter radius once the 6-second timer expires.

The Deadline took out the dangerous ARC. The debris conveniently fell right into the building where the player had sought cover. As loot, you will receive, among other things, Vaporizer Regulators needed for the new High-Performance Antenna Project in ARC Raiders.

Tips for Combating Vaporizers

How do you fight the Vaporizer? Those who are not quite so fearless and prefer to keep their distance have other options. Unlike with the rocket launcher, tactical action and good timing are required here, as the Vaporizer can protect itself with a shield.

  • One way is to “bait” the shield with a seeker grenade. Once its shield falls, you throw a Wolfpack. Decoy grenades also help to distract the machine’s attention. As long as the Vaporizer is shooting at decoy grenades (or other targets), it has no shield. And as long as it has a shield, it won’t shoot – giving you time to heal and sort your gear.
  • The “Hull Breaker” has proven to be particularly effective. This epic special weapon fires projectiles that explode only upon impact, quickly destabilizing the Vaporizer, especially when you hit its thrusters. If you have enough ammunition, you can take the Vaporizer down with it.
  • To temporarily stun the Vaporizer, the Showstopper or Hornet’s Driver are good options. Although this does not always stop the entire ARC, at least some thrusters will be disabled, interrupting its attacks.

In general, solid cover is helpful to evade the dangerous attacks. Barricades, however, do little here, as the nimble robots simply fly around them.

During the map event “Under Close Observation”, several Vaporizers fly around together, accompanied by rocket launchers and other smaller flying ARCs. Smoke grenades and the Photoelectric Cloak prove particularly helpful here. On Reddit, players are currently joking that the speaker components needed to build the cloak are now probably the most important resource in the game.

The new ARC, the event, and especially the “Quality of Life” adjustments that came with the Flashpoint update are well received by the players of the extraction shooter. Even those who had previously quit are eager to play again: Players declare the new update of ARC Raiders a “10/10,” because it brings back even burnt-out fans

Authority cancels Nintendo’s patent for summoning and fighting creatures

In autumn 2025, Nintendo was granted a patent for summoning and letting creatures fight. This has now been revoked.

What is this patent?

The patent in question was now revoked on March 25, 2026, by the U.S. Patent Office, as reported by the online magazine games fray.

Start video
Pokémon Legends Z-A: First Trailer for the Gameplay of the Switch Game

This is the authority’s decision: The Patent Office states that on November 3, 2025, it initiated a “director-initiated order for unilateral re-examination”. It was found that four of the total 26 claims of the patent raise “substantial new questions of patentability”. The Patent Office subsequently gave Nintendo 2 months to respond.

However, Nintendo did not submit a response within the deadline, which is why claims 1-26 of the patent were subjected to re-examination. The authority then stated:

  • “Claims 1–26 are currently being re-examined (“Re-examined Claims”). With respect to the re-examined claims and as a result of this decision: a) Claims 1–26 are rejected under 35 USC § 103(a).”

The Patent Office bases its decision on the combinations of several references in the form of published U.S. patent applications. Two of these earlier patent applications were filed by Nintendo itself, as well as one by Konami and one by Bandai Namco.

Already in October, a Japanese authority rejected a patent application from Nintendo for capturing creatures, stating that it contained no innovative idea but only obvious combinations of already known concepts from various games. Here you can read the report from October 2025: Authority rejects Nintendo’s patent application for capturing creatures, which could influence the legal dispute with Palworld

With a simple tip, you can get strong games without spending a lot of money

Gaming has become a rather expensive hobby due to rising prices for consoles, hardware, and games. However, there is one tip that can help you save on the cost of new games. You just need to borrow them from the right place.

Many public libraries now offer more media to borrow than just books. In addition to DVDs and Blu-rays, many libraries also provide a selection of video games that you can borrow and play for a certain period without having to purchase them.

This tip is provided by the gamer Doomster78666 in the gaming subreddit, where he showcases his haul from the library, including two films, but also Elden Ring and CoD: Modern Warfare. 

And yes, before the question arises: Many libraries in Germany also offer a selection of games to borrow. MeinMMO editor Caro can confirm that her city library offers games for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. However, titles rated 16 and 18 by the USK can only be borrowed in person with proof of age.

A library card opens many new opportunities

If you’re considering getting a library card for the purpose of video games, we have outlined the pros and cons for you:

Disadvantages:

  • The games do not belong to you; they are just borrowed.
  • You only have a certain period before you must return the game sooner or later. 
  • You usually need to purchase a library card, which often comes with a fee. So the offer is not completely free.
  • You can only choose from the selection provided by your library.

Advantages:

  • The loan period of the game can often be extended if you need more time.
  • You only have to pay once for a card, not for each individual game. Often, library cards for children and teenagers up to 18 are even free, and discounted for students or trainees.
  • You can test games that you’re not sure you’ll like. You won’t lose money if you stop playing and return the game early.
  • Your membership supports your local library, helping it remain available to you and many others for a longer time, and potentially invest in more games.

A tip that many needed

The Reddit thread reveals that a lot of users have never heard of this opportunity and would not have thought of it alone. This is confirmed by the user mirjane7, who works at a library: “This is not utilized enough at all.”

Other users are putting this tip into practice, as is megasetgo: “I just found out that my public library is just a short walk away, and I finally got a library card after not having one for years. I borrowed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. No borrowing fee. 30 days until return. Up to 3 extensions possible. No late fees!”

User and father GarretBarrett explains that choosing a game, as well as films and books, together with the whole family can be a rewarding experience: “I just went to the library in the neighboring city with my kids for the first time. I think their brains exploded. I realized that we need to do this more often – seeing all the games and movies and spending an hour choosing one was cool.”

Maybe this tip gives you the incentive to visit your own library. You might find not only books and even films, but also video games that interest you or that you’ve wanted to test for a long time. Or did you already know?
Given the price trend of PC hardware, consoles, and video games, gaming could continue to develop into a luxury hobby that not everyone can afford. This is directly illustrated by the example of the PS5, as the community shows: Players demonstrate with the example of PlayStation that gaming is increasingly becoming a luxury hobby

The MMORPG to Star Wars is taking the next step for better graphics, breaking the game down into its components

The developers of Star Wars: The Old Republic continue to work on modernizing their MMORPG and are now presenting the largest project to date.

What kind of project is this? The developers of SW:TOR spoke about their largest project to date in a new post on their website (via swtor.com): the upgrade to DirectX12. DirectX is the key point for many of the processes that take place on the screen in SW:TOR.

SW:TOR still uses the old version 9, which is no longer the standard. In order to enhance the MMORPG in the future, the developers need an upgrade to version 12, but that is not so easy.

Here you can see how much SW:TOR has visually changed so far:

Start video
Star Wars: The Old Republic zeigt Grafikupdates im Trailer

Everything from the beginning

How is the upgrade progressing? To enable the upgrade to the new version 12, the developers had to dismantle and rebuild many of the graphical elements of the MMORPG. There are technical features that SW:TOR uses in version 9, but which do not function in version 12.

The developers share images in their post that show how extensively they had to dismantle the MMORPG – almost only test textures remained. The process was so complicated that they even had to reprogram the SW:TOR engine itself.

Through collaboration with EA, the developers were able to incorporate features of the Frostbite engine into SW:TOR during this process, which is expected to have a positive impact on the MMORPG in the future.

Although the developers are not yet at their goal, they are already showing images of how the game currently looks, with notable improvements in light and shadow effects.

Where is the journey heading? The developers do not simply want to make SW:TOR look better; they also care about compatibility. DirectX9 is too old and may not run on all hardware in a few years.

But the graphics can be significantly improved through the massive changes. While previously there were only limited opportunities to enhance the MMORPG, big changes can be expected after the upgrade.

However, it will still take some time before that happens. The developers want to involve players from the technical alpha to test compatibility on the countless different graphics cards. Only after that will they finalize the processes.

That the developers of SW:TOR are rewriting their entire engine to prepare the game for the future is a good sign for all players. Those who have been concerned that the MMORPG might soon be history will be reassured by this news. The process is a clear step into the future. What is expected to happen this year is detailed here: Star Wars gets a new game, but doesn’t leave behind a 14-year-old MMORPG, starting soon into a new era

DC superheroine gets her own movie, immediately relies on the “trick” that made John Wick so great

The trailer for the film of the DC superhero Supergirl is out, and she is already being compared to a very special killer: John Wick.

Which superheroine is it about? On March 31, 2026, the first official trailer for the upcoming film Supergirl was released. Before that, fans could only be satisfied with teasers.

Supergirl, whose real name is Kara Zor-El, is Superman’s cousin. She comes from Argo City, a part of Krypton, the home of Superman. When the planet was destroyed, Supergirl was sent to Earth along with Superman.

However, her spaceship got stuck in a space-time anomaly, so she arrived on Earth much later. Supergirl has the same powers as Superman.

She was teased at the end of the film Superman by James Gunn. The dog that helped Superman actually belongs to Supergirl, not him. Superman was just supposed to take care of it.

In her own film, Supergirl, played by Milly Alcock, has her dog Krypto back and goes on adventures with him.

Start video

Supergirl becomes John Wick

What kind of trick is that? To make a hero sympathetic to the audience, there are various methods. A clever trick is to have an innocent animal be harmed by the enemies. This evokes the sense of justice in the audience, who will immediately side with the hero.

This is applied in the Supergirl trailer, but also earlier in the film John Wick. Here, the dog of retired hitman John Wick was killed, leading to a significant revenge action. John Wick acts ruthlessly in his films, yet the audience forgives him almost everything – after all, his dog was killed.

Supergirl should have the same standing with her audience: her dog is poisoned at the beginning of the film and could die without the antidote.

  • By the way: The film is based on the Supergirl comic Woman of Tomorrow / The Woman of Tomorrow.

How does the community react? The parallel to John Wick was also noticed by the community. In the comments under the trailer on YouTube, there are many hints about the killer:

  • futurescaper writes: Did John Wick teach these villains nothing? You don’t mess with the hero’s dog.
  • Oburn says: If you shoot a dog and think you’re off the hook just because it didn’t belong to John Wick.
  • thoraxe707 thinks the film combines two special films: John Wick + Guardians of the Galaxy

The Australian actress Milly Alcock is not the first to portray the DC superheroine Supergirl. In the film The Flash, for example, it was Sasha Calle, who enchanted MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski: Since I saw the new Supergirl from The Flash in theaters, I no longer miss Henry Cavill as Superman

Razer’s Pro Controller for the PS5 feels like I am playing with a gaming mouse

The Razer Raiju V3 Pro is a pro controller for the PS5. The controller is primarily aimed at players who prioritize speed. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tested the controller and explains for whom the device is worth it.

With the Raiju V3 Pro, Razer launches a gaming controller for the PS5. At 200 euros, it’s not exactly cheap but promises lots of modern technology for the money with tactile buttons and TMR sticks.

I was able to test the controller in everyday use and explain why I am so enthusiastic about the button clicks and whom I cannot recommend the controller to.

Product in the test, quick overview:

Delivery, Design, and Construction

Positive: Delivery, construction, interchangeable parts | Neutral: no adaptive triggers/haptic feedback

What’s included? Razer has equipped its Raiju V3 Pro with a decent delivery package. This includes:

  • wireless adapter for HyperSpeed Wireless
  • USB cable (C to A)
  • 2 interchangeable thumb caps
  • 4 interchangeable back buttons
  • screwdriver
  • transport bag for controller
  • instructions and safety information

Design and Construction: Razer’s Raiju V3 Pro is heavily based on the official design of the PlayStation controller: The Raiju V3 Pro follows the same symmetrical design. Unlike the Victrix Pro BFG (Reloaded), however, the symmetrical design cannot be adjusted.

A few things can still be changed: The thumbstick caps can be exchanged, as well as the back buttons on the back of the controller.

By the way, Razer deliberately forgoes haptic feedback with its controller. Razer itself states that the “Razer Raiju V3 Pro was specially designed for competitive eSports use and does not have haptic feedback.”

Processing

Positive: interchangeable parts | Negative: only plastic | Neutral: hollow-sounding housing, fixed battery

The Raiju V3 Pro is completely made of plastic, metal parts or elements are completely absent. Some components, like the thumbsticks and back buttons, can be easily exchanged, but the sticks themselves cannot. Here other manufacturers like Victrix or Sony have an advantage.

The official DualSense Edge seems sturdier in direct comparison to Razer, as the plastic body of the controller sounds less hollow when tapping on the casing. However, the “hollow” feeling is also noticeable in terms of weight: The Edge weighs at least 325 grams, while the Razer Raiju V3 Pro weighs only 259 grams. You can throw a TV with both models.

Software

Positive: Many configuration options | Negative: Only on PC/phone

If you want to set up the Raiju V3 Pro, you have two options: You can either use the Synapse software directly on your PC or the mobile app on your phone. The options of the software are roughly identical. However, the rule is: You cannot make any settings directly on the PS5, this is only possible with the official DualSense Edge.

Overall, you can freely assign 6 buttons: Two on the top, near the triggers (referred to as Razer claw grip bumpers) and the four back buttons on the back of the controller.

Practical: You can save four profiles directly on your controller and switch back and forth with the corresponding key combination. This also works on the PS5.

Ergonomics and Weight

Positive: Weight, haptics, ergonomics | Negative: With small hands, back buttons may be difficult to reach | Neutral: no haptic feedback/adaptive triggers

How heavy is the controller? At 259 grams, the Raiju V3 Pro is one of the lighter gaming controllers on the market, making it significantly lighter than the official PS5 pro controller, which weighs 325 grams. However, you will have to forgo features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

Ergonomics: Razer has covered the grips of its controller with a rough rubber surface. This ensures that the controller fits well in the hand, even if the hands become moist and sweaty in the heat of battle.

I also like the arrangement of the buttons on the back: With the right hand, the index and middle finger rest on the back buttons; with the left hand, it’s the middle and ring fingers. It feels intuitive without having to strain your hands.

Restrictively, I must say that I have quite large hands, measuring 19 centimeters (from wrist to fingertip). My wife has smaller hands (17 centimeters) and can no longer easily reach the lower buttons.

So if you have small hands, you may need to forgo the back buttons, which would be a shame. By the way, my wife has no problems reaching the paddles of the DualSense Edge. These are simply better positioned and a bit longer.

Gameplay: A play and click feel like a gaming mouse

Positive: Click feel, weight, ergonomics | Neutral: Software only configurable on PC; click noises can be bothersome

How does it play? Gaming with the Raiju V3 Pro can best be described as playing with a gaming mouse on the PS5, as it feels just like that: All important buttons, the D-pad, the symbol buttons, and the back buttons give you a solid click feedback.

Normally, I always feel that my inputs with a controller are somewhat vague, as I usually miss the clear feedback of a button click. The click of the mouse indicates it and gives me the satisfying feeling that I clicked, which I can also see on the screen.

The Raiju V3 Pro achieves exactly that: Each button offers you a solid click. In everyday use, it feels as if you are playing with a mouse and not with a controller.

Additionally, there’s the weight of around 250 grams. Generally, I prefer playing with the DualSense Edge because it is best integrated into the PS5 system, but the 80 grams less from the Raiju V3 Pro, combined with these clicks, is a real challenge.

However, I must add: As great as it feels, the clicking of the buttons is quite audible. When you play with it, you can hear every button you use. If you’re not playing with headphones, that can be quite annoying, especially if you’re sensitive to noise. It’s not a problem for me, but I wanted to point it out.

Conclusion

For whom is the controller worth it? If you primarily want to play competitively, can do without immersive features like haptic feedback and are looking for a device that fully focuses on speed and performance, then you get a very good controller with the Razer Raiju V3 Pro.

Because in the competitive area, the device fully demonstrates its strengths: Weight and the quick buttons are very well suited when things need to happen quickly and every gram counts.

Alternatives:

  • The DualSense Edge is the best alternative on the PS5: Native support, many features, but a rather short battery life. The current price ranges from 180 to 190 euros.
  • The Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded comes with TMR sticks and interchangeable button modules. This makes the controller particularly flexible. The Reloaded model is available for around 190 euros.
