Cyberpunk 2077 is four years old today, and CD Projekt Red is celebrating with a surprise patch for its open-world RPG that’s out now. The team held a live stream to run down some of the big changes coming in patch 2.2, which comes over a year after the Phantom Liberty expansion, 2.0 overhaul, and the big romance update. It sounds like this is supposed to be the final update for Cyberpunk 2077, but CDPR has already said it wasn’t working on the game anymore and yet here I am writing about another patch, so who knows? For now, let’s break down what’s new in Night City. – Kenneth Shepard Read More

Pokémon TCG Pocket has a very odd pattern to its “events”—there appear to be weeks when the game falls fallow with nothing extra to do, then three special challenges will happen at the same time. That’s happening again today, as the Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 launches, joining the ongoing Venusaur Drop Event and the Bulbasaur-themed Wonder Pick Event. And while it’s strange, it makes it a great time to pick up the game. – John Walker Read More

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a lot of fun. The new game from MachineGames and Bethesda lets you step into the (I assume very muddy and warm) boots of the famous adventurer for an exciting new journey around the world. Along the way you solve ancient puzzles and riddles and, of course, fight Nazis. – Zack Zwiezen Read More

Diablo-like Path Of Exile 2 is finally out in Early Access and taking over the charts, breaking records on Steam even as its servers buckle under the weight of its long-anticipated debut.

Indiana Jones is known for a few things. The hat. The whip. Archaeology. But one of the things he’s best known for is punching fascists (Nazi, or otherwise). – Brian Barnett Read More

CD Projekt Red dropped a new update for Cyberpunk 2077 that added customization options for your cars and character, photo mode features, and a few “surprises” the team is hoping fans will find themselves. One thing the team didn’t mention in its live stream or patch notes was that update 2.2 would also bring a quest based on Balatro, 2024’s card game indie darling that is nominated for Game of the Year at this year’s Game Awards. If you haven’t booted up Cyberpunk since the update but are curious about how to see this unexpected crossover, we’ve got the rundown on where to go in Night City to start the quest. – Kenneth Shepard Read More

Back in 2022, Epic Games agreed to pay $245 million as part of a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over “dark patterns” that may have tricked players into spending in-game currency on cosmetics, dance emotes, and other items they didn’t actually want. Two years later, the first payments are finally going out and some players are getting checks for over $100 as a result. – Ethan Gach Read More
