Title: As Fable Is Rumored To Be Delayed, Let's Read Too Much Into This Social Media Change Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:47:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/as-fable-is-rumored-to-be-delayed-lets-read-too-much-into-this-social-media-change/1100-6539421/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f One of the main social media accounts for the Fable reboot is no longer telling fans they can look forward to playing the game in 2026. This development came after a report said the game had been delayed internally and might not release this year as expected.Since the Fable reboot had its proper unveiling in January, the game's X account had been engaging with fans on a regular basis, usually signing off with something like, "We're excited to welcome you to Albion in Autumn 2026!"Those kinds of messages stopped after April 13, however. The last message from the Fable X account to include mention of a 2026 release came on the morning of Monday, April 13.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: There's A New Way To Play Hades 2, And It Came Out Of Nowhere Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:08:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/theres-a-new-way-to-play-hades-2-and-it-came-out-of-nowhere/1100-6539417/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Hades 2 has made its way to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and this week has also seen a major post-launch patch released for the roguelite game. While the patch notes detail numerous game improvements and tweaks, the biggest addition to Hades 2 is barely mentioned. Developer Supergiant Games secretly added a new game mode, giving players the option to embark on a different series of clashes compared to the usual runs through the Underworld and Olympus.Called Dream Drives (and spotted by PCGamesN), this mode is described as "a breezy alternative to your regular nightly routine," and it's designed to keep players guessing about what's next. Each Dream Dive run consists of a series of stages from four arenas, and there's no set pattern to which areas you'll jump into. Enemies are also tougher, but for each region you clear, you'll be rewarded with Shiny Stars. These can be exchanged for rewards once you finish your run.To start a Dream Dive, you'll need to have first completed the quest to wake up Hypnos. Once that's done, head to the Training Grounds in the Crossroads and look for the new "dreamy bed" found there. Interact with it, and you'll start your first Dream Drive.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Map Map provides players with measuring tools used by actual cartographers, which they can use to reach new areas. If any of this sounds familiar to players who have completed some recent quests in Genshin Impact, Map Map's creators don't believe that's a coincidence.

Title: GeForce NOW Raises the Game at the Game Developers Conference Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:00:53 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-gdc-2026/ GeForce NOW is bringing the game to the Game Developers Conference (GDC), running this week in San Francisco. While developers build the future of gaming, GeForce NOW is delivering it to gamers. The latest updates bring smoother performance, easier game discovery and a fresh lineup of blockbuster titles to the cloud. Game discoverability gets a boost with new in‑app labels for connected accounts for Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+. It’ll be easier than ever to see titles already available through linked subscriptions, so members can seamlessly jump into games they already own. Virtual reality gets a smooth upgrade — supported devices now stream at 90 frames per second (fps), up from 60 fps, delivering more responsive and immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences. Account linking is also leveling up. Following Gaijin single sign-on announced at CES in January, GOG account linking and game library syncing are coming soon. The GeForce NOW library continues to grow with new releases joining the cloud at launch: CONTROL Resonant and Samson: A Tyndalston Story. Plus, select Xbox titles will join the Install-to-Play library. In addition, there’s a lineup of five new games to catch this week, including Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, on top of the latest update for Fortnite. Gaming Is Buzzing GeForce NOW is rolling into GDC with an easier way to keep track of titles, as well as performance upgrades and a growing lineup of major titles ready to stream at launch. Keeping track of which game lives on which service can be tricky. In‑App labels — coming soon to GeForce NOW for connected subscriptions — will help make it simple for members to know exactly what games they can play on GeForce NOW. Once a member connects their Xbox Game Pass Account or Ubisoft+ account, clear labels will appear directly on the game art inside the GeForce NOW app — eliminating guesswork and making it easy to see exactly what’s available to play from their game subscription services. Set it and forget it. Account linking is expanding too. On top of Gaijin single sign-on, GeForce NOW is adding GOG account linking and game library syncing in the coming months.               Smooth moves. Virtual reality is also getting an upgrade. Starting Thursday, March 19, VR devices that GeForce NOW supports, including Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest and Pico devices, will stream at 90 fps for Ultimate members, an increase from 60 fps.

Title: An upgraded version of Roblox launches on PS5 today Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:00:03 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/14/an-upgraded-version-of-roblox-launches-on-ps5-today/ Roblox is getting a serious upgrade today with the launch of our native app for PlayStation 5. Built specifically for PS5, this version of Roblox is smoother and more responsive, with up to 30% faster load times. To celebrate the release, we sat down with the creators behind some of the most popular games on Roblox to learn about everything they’ve done to give you the best possible experience on PS5.  Designed for console Even though Roblox makes it easy to publish across different platforms, every creator we spoke to wanted to make sure their games felt as fun to play on a controller as they do anywhere else. That meant tweaking things like menu navigation to button layouts, and in some cases, it even inspired the creation of entirely new systems. Just ask Wingboy0, creator of the competitive 3D melee fighter Dueling Grounds. In a game where a perfectly-timed parry can mean the difference between victory and defeat, getting the controls right was top priority. “When Dueling Grounds was early in development, I spent a lot of time playtesting other console games on Roblox to better understand what players want from a high-quality action game,” said Wingboy0. “That led me to build the camera lock system so you never have to constantly readjust where you’re facing. You can focus purely on fighting your opponent.” Just as important as the controls is also figuring out clever ways for cross-platform players to communicate with each other. Take for example BlushCrunch Studio’s hit roguelike, mascot-horror game Dandy’s World. When a Twisted is closing in on a fellow Toon, the last thing you want is to be scrambling for a way to warn them. That’s where stickers come in handy. “Typing quickly on a console isn’t easy, so we created a way for players to chat and emote using stickers,” said Dandy’s World lead engineer KingMobMedia. JoeyStix, president of BlushCrunch, continued, “[The sticker system] was a huge win for us, since it meant console players could now communicate with mobile and PC players just as easily as they could on a keyboard.” Those are just a couple of ways Wingboy0, KingMobMedia, and JoeyStix have been approaching console development. And that’s just the start—now that Roblox is available natively on PS5, they have even more opportunities to add an extra layer to your immersion thanks to the DualSense controller’s cutting-edge haptics. We can’t wait to see what they come up with. A new level of detail The DualSense is just one part of what makes PS5 an exciting platform for studios, indie teams, and solo creators alike on Roblox. Visually speaking, PS5 is also a chance to show off their games in a new light. Case in point: NFL Universe Football. If you haven’t played, it’s the only officially licensed arcade football game on Roblox where you can join your friends and hit the gridiron together as any of your favorite NFL teams. We asked Voldex, the studio behind the game, to tell us what they’re looking forward to most now that Roblox offers native PS5 support. “NFL Universe Football already feels incredible on console, so being able to scale it up with the added power and performance of PS5 is really exciting,” said clxr, lead engineer at Voldex. itsjtech, Senior Product Manager at Voldex, agreed, noting they can add more content to the game without worrying about major performance hits: “The door is wide open for us to test the boundaries on what’s possible. I’m excited to see how we can push our visuals even further.” If you’re looking for something on the spookier side, Scary Shawarma Kiosk’s got you covered. It’s a cult-favorite horror game where you work a night shift serving increasingly strange and disturbing customers, all while keeping a lookout for any creepy anomalies. That eerie atmosphere feels even more palpable on PS5, creators kharbor_ykt and Graizorko tell us. “We finally have a platform that lets players experience the game as we envisioned it,” they said. “The atmosphere comes through much more clearly on more powerful hardware.” ​​ Something for everyone For many players on PS5, this will be their first real look at how much Roblox has evolved over the years. And all the creators we spoke to are ready to make a lasting impression. “Dandy’s World is really accessible for casual players, but there’s a lot of depth for hardcore players too,” said JoeyStix. “We have over 40 original characters to collect and master, each with their own unique abilities. And with procedurally generated floors and other gameplay elements, each run is different from the last.” “I think everybody who hasn’t tried Roblox yet will be very surprised by what’s been built on the platform,” said itsjtech. “The characters in NFL Universe Football may look blocky, but the quality of the gameplay speaks for itself. People are shocked when they realize this is on Roblox.” “We expect to reach players who enjoy atmospheric horror and console gaming but who didn’t previously think of Roblox as a platform for them,” the creators of Scary Shawarma Kiosk told us. Dueling Grounds creator Wingboy0 said, “The animations, the effort that went into every detail… I think PlayStation players are going to be genuinely impressed by what they find.” There’s never been a better time to find out for yourself. Download the Roblox app from the PlayStation Store today and start playing these great games, and more, on PS5 for free.

Title: Pragmata: All the ways the Shelter expands gameplay and story Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:00:18 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/13/pragmata-all-the-ways-the-shelter-expands-gameplay-and-story/ The Cradle, a massive lunar base that serves as the setting for third-person hacking shooter Pragmata, is a dangerous place to be. It’s crawling with killer robots, often popping up with little warning as you explore its many facilities and passageways. Luckily, there’s the Shelter, a tucked-away location that provides a place where you can build your arsenal, restock, heal up, and take a break. The Shelter is more than just a place to prepare, though — it’s also where you can build the relationship that develops between protagonist Hugh and Diana, an android in the form of a young girl he discovers in the Cradle. Their bond is Pragmata’s heart, both in its hacking-and-shooting gameplay and in its narrative. Expanding the Shelter, powering up its facilities, and making it a little homier is a big part of Pragmata’s gameplay. Here’s everything you’ll want to know about your home on the moon. Upgrade Hugh and Diana at the Firmware Updater At the center of the Shelter are its two main stations: the Firmware Updater and the Unit Printer. The Firmware Updater is where you can enhance Hugh’s suit and primary weapon, increasing his HP and the damage of his gun. You can also enhance Diana’s hacking abilities so that enemy armor stays open longer on a successful hack. The Firmware Updater makes you stronger overall, so visit it early and often. Expand and enhance your arsenal at the Unit Printer The Shelter’s other main station is the Unit Printer, where you can spend all the blue Lunafilament you find as you explore the Cradle. Each time you find a new weapon unit or hacking node, you can then spend Lunafilament to unlock it permanently in the Shelter, which allows you to add it to your loadout whenever you visit. Unlocking weapons and hacking nodes early means if you run up against a tough challenge or boss, you can double back to the Shelter and change your loadout to better fit what you’re facing. Travel around the Cradle fast You’ll find and open entrances to the tramway that lead back to the Shelter all over the Cradle. These locations serve as checkpoints where you can heal up and rearm, as well as a means of fast travel — when you open a new entrance, you can use the Tram in the Shelter to return to that spot, or any other that you’ve unlocked. As you gain new abilities that can open up new portions of areas you previously explored, the Tram system becomes invaluable. Meet Cabin, get bingos Once you get far enough exploring the Cradle, you’ll gain licenses that expand the Shelter’s capabilities and summon Cabin, a robotic assistant who controls some of those systems. The friendly bot introduces you to the Cabin Stamp Club, where you can trade in Cabin Coins you find around the Cradle to stamp Cabin’s bingo cards. As you fill in the cards and rack up bingos, you’ll unlock new features in the Shelter, upgrades and outfits for Hugh and Diana, and more. Beat Simulations to earn Cabin Coins One of the first things you’ll unlock with Cabin is the Simulation Pod, where you can play through simulated challenge levels to earn more Cabin Coins. Each simulation has three challenges, so it’s possible to earn three coins in each one. The Stamp Club hides some significant upgrades, as well as hacking nodes and weapons, so you’ll want to fight through those levels and unlock some big boosts. You can also unlock rare upgrade resources by completed challenges, so don’t miss out. Unlock more story in the Data Library Among the rewards you’ll earn from the Stamp Club are secret data files that fill out the hidden side of the Cradle’s story. You can start reading them at the Data Library kiosk that Cabin unlocks after you’ve earned your first file. Learn about your adversaries in the Bot Database If you’re looking for more information on the bot enemies you’re facing in the Cradle, you’ll want to check out the Bot Database. You can unlock files on each bot type through the Stamp Club. Flex your fashion sense at Outfit Storage The more bingos you rack up on a Stamp Club sheet, the better the rewards. Stamp enough squares on a single sheet and you can unlock new cosmetic outfits for Diana and spacesuits for Hugh. You can change up their looks at the Outfit Storage kiosk. Spruce up the place with Mini-Cabin collectibles Hidden throughout the Cradle are miniature statues of Cabin, each with a different, fun look and pose. Shoot them when you find them and you’ll collect them for display in the Shelter. Listen for the Mini-Cabin to call out when you’re near it, and look for them in hard-to-reach, hidden spots. Build Hugh and Diana’s relationship While upgrading your gear is important, maybe the most engaging thing you can do in the Shelter is interact with Diana. You can talk to her any time, and she and Hugh will usually chat about recent events they’ve experienced or what their next move is. As you find collectible Read Earth Memories, or REMs, across the Cradle, you can install them in the Shelter to give Diana different toys to play with and to create whole new rooms and scenes for her. Diana will also sometimes have a question mark or exclamation mark icon over her head, which means she has something new to talk about, and after a while, you can even play hide-and-seek with her. If you engage with Diana enough and on different topics, you’ll make her happy, enhancing her bond with Hugh. As Diana and Hugh’s relationship deepens through their conversations, she’ll even make drawings for Hugh about their different adventures. Spending a little time in the Shelter with Diana does a lot to expand on and deepen the emotional core of Pragmata, and it’s always worth the investment. Pragmata launches on PS5 April 17.

Title: If you need more Shakespeare with your Slay the Spire, check out demon lawyer deckbuilder The Killing Stone Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/if-you-need-more-shakespeare-with-your-slay-the-spire-check-out-demon-lawyer-deckbuilder-the-killing-stone Slay the Spire 2 may yet prove this year's best deckbuilder, but The Killing Stone is more intriguing. It's also heckin' Elizabethan, if you opt for the "period" dialogue option. The setup, in present-day English: it's the 17th century, and you are a student of the great occultist Mariken Svangård. As is the fashion among occultists, your mentor has just popped her clogs in mysterious circumstances, and you've come to a bizarre mansion in the Antarctic circle to pay respects and meet her relatives. It turns out that Mariken has somehow sold their souls to various demons, foremost among them a snickering, one-eyed fiend who looks like Guido Fawkes by way of Doctor Strange. Read more

This freshly revealed DLC's dubbed Soul of Anatolia, and it'll let you drive on past the Balkans and much further into Turkey than you previously could. Read more

The second of these patches picks up the first's problem-eliminating baton, but also sees the devs start to make some more in-depth tweaks to mechanics that work fine, but leave a bit to be desired.

Title: Revisiting Atomfall’s pasty-pocalyse survival jaunt a year on, I’ve finally been seduced by its hallucinated monks and jarred brains Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/revisiting-atomfalls-pasty-pocalyse-survival-jaunt-a-year-on-ive-finally-been-seduced-by-its-hallucinated-monks-and-jarred-brains When I finished my first playthrough of Atomfall for review last year, I felt like Rebellion’s pasty-littered survival game was just starting to properly get its hooks into me. I’ve dug plenty of short games over the years - Return of the Obra Dinn and The Red Strings Club are a couple of examples - but with that brevity comes the challenge of delivering on the promise of your premise in a briefer window than longer games are afforded. The base version of Atomfall instead reached its destination just as it was truly getting into its stride. The fact that the destination was more mundane and forgettable than the game had built it up to be only marked out that feeling of wasted potential more starkly. It was a good game, but one I couldn’t recommend without considering adding the phrase ‘for what it is’. Read more
