Fall Guys players believe it’s now quicker to level up your battle pass if you lose rather than win. That’s because of the game’s all new progression and monetisation systems that were introduced when the game switched to a free-to-play model earlier this week. As spotted by Gamerant, players can still level up their battle pass, but with new daily, weekly, and long-term challenges also now available, it seems as though maximising those will help you progress faster than winning matches… and given the time it takes to secure a winning crown, you could potentially earn the same amount of…

Skull & Bones has been rated by the ERSB, leading some to hope that a release date may be imminent. The news follows rating board confirmations in other parts of the world, too, including Brazil and Australia, and a leak of Skull & Bones’ four-minute tutorial video back in April, which Ubisoft eventually confirmed was real. The description shared on the ESRB website is the closest we’ve come to getting an idea of what the game – which is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox Series – entails since it underwent “extensive reworking” a couple of years back.

July 2022’s PlayStation Plus freebie offering will include Crash Bandicoot 4 and The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan. That’s according to Dealabs poster billbil-kun, who – as ever – has the scoop on what titles are next heading to Sony’s PlayStation Plus free game line-up next month. Though we have to take this with the usual pinch of proverbial salt, billbil-kun has been ahead of Sony’s formal announcement many, many times now, and hasn’t been wrong thus far.

Final Fantasy 16 will not have an open world. Producer Naoki Yoshida confirmed the news in an interview with IGN, although he said that recent open world games have provided “inspiration”. “We’ve found in our extensive user research that many of the younger generation of gamers have never played a Final Fantasy or don’t have any interest in the series. To create a game that might excite and resonate not only with our core fans, but also with that new generation, we played a lot of games ourselves, and so yes, in [Final Fantasy 16] you’ll find inspiration from recent…

Yesterday, players were left unable to find matches in Fall Guys thanks to server issues sparked by the game’s multiplatform relaunch. Developer Mediatonic first acknowledged the issues yesterday afternoon, in a fashionably Fall Guys-style tweet. Late last night, things seemed to be improving, with more players able to get into game. But still there were “teething issues”, as servers were flooded with new players across PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

The fantasy of subscription services is that one day we’ll have time. I joined Game Pass for the same reason I own a bunch of large, beautiful novels I have yet to read: Ooh, one day I’ll have time for that. So let’s pretend, just for one Sunday, that the rainy day – the rainy weekend – is here. This feels like the best way to create an inroad in a list of games as wayward, and perhaps exhausting, as Playstation Plus’ current offering. Let’s pretend: 48 hours with nothing else to do but play PS Plus games. What follows…

Pokémon Go developer Niantic has outlined its plans on tackling cheating in the popular augmented-reality mobile game. In an update posted to the company’s official blog (thanks, NME), Niantic said it is “continuously work[ing] to facilitate a fun and fair environment” and “[felt players’] frustration about how cheating behaviours” affected them. Its last post on cheating – posted way back last year – was “focused primarily on sharing a broad overview” on the topic, but since then, Niantic says it’s “becoming better” at spotting cheaters.

A new Stardew Valley patch is on the way. Whilst it’s “mostly a modding-focused update”, creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone says there “will be some new content”, but advised players to temper expectations, as it “won’t be huge”. Asked if his follow-up game, Haunted Chocolatier, will have references to the wholesome farming sim, Barone said that there would be, but said he didn’t know “how deep the connection will be” as he’s keen for his upcoming title to “have its own identity”.

After last season’s King Kong x Godzilla battle, Activision’s flagship battle royale gets even wackier with an appearance of The Terminator. Better yet, you’re spoiled for choice, with Season four of Warzone giving you the option to play as the orginal T-800 or its succesor the T-1000 (Schwarzenegger voice lines not included). Activision being Activision, the two Terminators are not bundled together, but rather as seperate time-limited packs.
