As reported by Reuters, the change comes as part of a crackdown on the booming games sector. The National Radio and Television Administration said in a statement that livestreaming platforms need to step up controls for underage users (under 18). In addition, platforms will need to strengthen the management of peak hours for streaming shows, and shows will need to be turned off at 10pm local time for users under the “youth mode” parental control function....

Luckily, PC modders are here to help. Over the last few weeks, modders on Nexus Mods have been hard at work opening up further customisation options for players, be it the ability to change your haircut and appearance mid-game, or access some of the fancy clothes normally locked to Night City’s NPCs. There’s even a way to get your hands on some Trauma Team gear. But the thing that excites me the most is this: modders have created several different ways for you to visibly modify your body....

According to stats shared by Valve, Cyberpunk 2077 is the fourth most popular game on Steam Deck by total hours played, topped only by Stardew Valley, Elden Ring, and Vampire Survivors - in that order. We’ve already told you about Cyberpunk 2077’s second life. Cyberpunk 2077 initially shifted 13m copies when it arrived for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in December 2020, but interest in the game dropped when word of its technical issues spread....

The Callisto Protocol is a third-person horror game set in 2320, with its action unfolding within the confines of the Black Iron prison colony on Jupiter’s moon Callisto. While that set-up mightn’t immediately scream PUBG to onlookers, the connection came from the fact developer Striking Distance was explicitly established by PUBG: Battlegrounds publisher Krafton to create narrative-driven games that would expand the universe introduced in the battle royale hit. As Schofield explained in a recent GameInformer cover feature on The Callisto Protocol, “When we came in, [Krafton] had a lore team and they were writing this big story, like, ‘Where does PUBG start?...

Deathloop is about killing the people who are killing time. Set in an alternate 1970s that feels more like the far future of Dishonored’s Gristol than part of Earth’s history, it’s a freeform, first-person mix of shooting, assassination, hacking and sorcery in which you wind and rewind a single day both to experiment with tools and manipulate targets such that you can massacre them all before darkness falls. The lead is Colt Vahn, a hulking amnesiac who - shortly after being hacked to death by a mysterious woman - wakes on a time-locked Arctic island overrun by a hedonistic Bond movie organisation called AEON....

3-peeking, or third-person peeking, is the act of forcing the normally first-person camera into third-person, giving PvP players an advantage because they can peek around corners safely. 3-peeking is a long-standing issue in first-person shooters that have some third-person elements, but it’s particularly troublesome in Destiny 2’s competitive multiplayer. Destiny 2 is a game full of legitimate mechanics that pull the camera back into third-person, including swords and emotes, and some players use this to gain an upper hand in the Crucible, Destiny’s PvP arena....

Warzone Companion is an app ostensibly for displaying in-depth stats to players and for flagging potential cheaters in a lobby. But it became a hot topic within the Call of Duty community recently when it emerged it also displays the K/D ratio of all players in a lobby before a match begins. This is not something Warzone does officially. Players were using the app to back out of unfavourable lobbies before the beginning of a match - effectively cheating Warzone’s skill-based matchmaking system....

As you’ll hear in our discussions, this seems to be a very different proposition to Horizon Forbidden West, where there was a clear night and day difference between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions. I won’t spoil John’s hands-on thoughts too much, but I think it’s perfectly valid to consider the PS5 version as similar to the idea of what a PC version would look like: the same core game, but ramped up significantly in terms of clarity, performance and other ‘ultra settings’ niceties....

The announcement was made through a video of franchise general manager Rod Fergusson and game director Joe Shely, with more information detailed on Blizzard’s official website. Invites will be sent directly to players who have “recently spent significant time in Diablo endgame experiences”, with eligibility being determined using gameplay data. The content in the closed beta will be the new event Helltide, Nightmare Dungeons, reward system Whispers of the Dead, PvP zones called Fields of Hatred, and endgame character build system Paragon Boards....

In a statement posted to its social media channels, the Microsoft-owned studio said it stands “steadfast in [its] support of essential healthcare rights for all”. “We at Double Fine Productions stand steadfast in our support of essential healthcare rights for all,” the studio said. “We firmly believe that a decision to oveturn Row vs. Wade would deny people their human rights, and directly impact the lives, freedoms, and choices of everyone in this country....

Inspired by classic slasher films of the 1980s, it’s a narrative-driven game that sees you escaping a house by solving puzzles, making dialogue decisions, and avoiding the killer. That’s an impossible feat at first, but repeated attempts at escape will put all the pieces together. And judging by the trailer below, its low-fi graphics only add to the horrifying atmosphere. It seems a world away from the lighthearted, campy humour of dating sim Dream Daddy, but Homebody is apparently a natural next step for Game Grumps....

The studio doesn’t yet have a name, but we do know it will be based in the Seattle area and will work on an open-world action-adventure game (via GamesIndustry.biz). During his time at Monolith Stephens oversaw projects such as Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War, so he’s had plenty of experience working with this genre. Stephens will be reunited with EA senior VP and group general manager Samantha Ryan, who was formerly president of Monolith and worked with Stephens....

SNES title Earthbound and its NES predecessor Earthbound Beginnings will join their respective Switch Online apps are some point this evening. The pair - previously also available on Wii U - were announced during tonight’s big Nintendo Direct broadcast. Alas, there was still no sign of Mother 3.

However, when you start Elden Ring, you’ll notice your map will be largely barren. Though the map can be used, and key elements such as Site of Grace locations and dungeons will be added, the underlying surroundings will be missing until you find a Map Fragment. This page explains where to find all Map Fragment locations to help you navigate around the world easier. On this page: Looking for some direction?...

Coming straight after Radagon of the Golden Order, Elden Ring saved its biggest boss for last, rolling out the Elden Beast to face off against players at the conclusion of the game’s story. The fight against the Elden Beast is one tough battle of attrition, but since spirit ash summons are available in this boss fight, we’d definitely recommend putting them to good use. On this page: Looking for some direction?...

You can find Patches early on in your adventure and, by ‘winning’ the Patches boss fight, he’ll become a vendor. The items he sells can be very useful on your quest, especially in the game’s opening hours, and some may even help you defeat a certain boss… Beyond that, you can also find Patches in a number of other locations - in what you could consider an on-going Patches questline, which will give you an end reward....
