Title: Rumored Witcher 3 DLC Likely To Stay Close To Velen, Bridging The Gap Between Witcher 3 And 4 Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 01:13:00 -0800 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rumored-witcher-3-dlc-likely-to-stay-close-to-velen-bridging-the-gap-between-witcher-3-and-4/1100-6538406/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Rumors are swirling about a new Witcher 3 DLC that is anticipated to release this year, bridging the gap between Witcher 3 and 4. While initial reports speculated that the DLC might take players to the far eastern destination of Zerrikania, new reports claim the DLC will mostly be reusing locations and assets, staying closer to the familiar territories of Temeria and Redania.While nothing about the potential expansion has been officially confirmed by CD Projekt Red, insider reports are now suggesting the DLC is largely intended to bridge the gap between Witcher 3 and the upcoming Witcher 4. With Witcher 3 being set around Temeria, Redania, and Skellige, and Witcher 4 taking place at least partially in the far northern kingdom of Kovir and Poviss, it makes sense for the DLC to remain somewhere in the northern states.A post from CharlieIntel reports that the DLC will be "expanding on already existing areas and reusing assets," while Polish insider UV o grach made some similar comments on a livestream, referring to reusing assets and filling in blanks on a map.

Title: Game Pass Launch Reportedly Saw Star Wars Outlaws Double Its Player Base On Xbox Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 01:12:00 -0800 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-pass-launch-reportedly-saw-star-wars-outlaws-double-its-player-base-on-xbox/1100-6538405/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Game Pass has reportedly given Star Wars Outlaws' player numbers a major boost since it was added on January 13, introducing nearly 600,000 new players to the game. While Ubisoft's Star Wars game has suffered from slow sales since it launched in 2024, it has proved the most popular of January's major Game Pass additions.According to statistics cited by Alinea Analytics, Star Wars Outlaws was checked out by around 100,000 Game Pass subscribers on the day it was added to the service. Around 595,000 total new players have accessed the game through Game Pass since it launched there, narrowly beating out Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II to be the most popular of January's new games.While Outlaws was mostly well-received by critics, the game suffered from some technical and mechanical issues at launch, and has not sold as well as Ubisoft expected--something that the studio has blamed on a general decline in sentiment towards the Star Wars brand.Continue Reading at GameSpot

A handful of Arc Raiders players have reported seeing the silhouette of a large ship in the clouds, but so far, only a Reddit user called Bewarden captured the incident in a video. The ship appears to be massive, but there's no indication yet it's confirmation of aliens in this world. It's not nothing, but we can't say for certain what it is until developer Embark Studios lets players have a closer look.This glimpse of the unknown occurred after the newly released Shrouded Sky update. That brought new enemies hurricanes into the game. There's also a limited-time event called the Weather Monitoring System project, which is currently running through March 31. GameSpot has already run through the steps and rewards in that event, and it didn't say anything about our new friends in the sky.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Discord users who will need to authenticate their age are those who both access age-restricted content and whom Discord's internal system cannot verify as adults. The statement also announces that the global age verification on the platform has been delayed from March to sometime in the second half of 2026.This is not the first time Discord has attempted to change the narrative. Discord posted a statement on X earlier in February clarifying that most Discord users will not have to verify their age.Users have raised concerns about third-party contractors which Discord might use to verify age. A hack attacking service provider 5CA in October 2025 leaked thousands of UK IDs. Additionally, Discord's partnership with verification service Persona drew criticism, due to Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel's backing. The statement attempts to assuage some of these concerns, saying that every third-party vendor must undergo a security and privacy review before Discord will partner with them.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: GeForce NOW Celebrates Six Years of Streaming With 24 Games in February Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:00:53 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-feb-2026-games-list/ Break out the cake and green sprinkles — GeForce NOW is turning six.

There’s plenty to celebrate: the February games list kicks off with 24 new games.

Reporting for Duty The ultimate extraction. Delta Force, now boots on the ground and fully deployed on GeForce NOW, brings the tactical first‑person shooter from Team Jade (TiMi Studio Group) to the cloud. The game features high-stakes extraction with an all-out warfare mode, giving players a playground of open environments, vehicles and gadgets to pull off coordinated assaults. Players join elite units tasked with tackling high‑risk missions across sprawling maps, from tight urban incursions to rugged open‑terrain operations. Expect strategic objectives, combined‑arms combat with land, air and sea vehicles, and tense firefights where teamwork and planning are just as important as quick reflexes. On GeForce NOW, Delta Force leans into its high‑octane personality: fast drops, big maps and cinematic engagements that look sharp and feel responsive across devices. Members can squad up from almost anywhere, enjoy high‑resolution streaming and smooth performance, and stay ready for every op without waiting on downloads or big updates before jumping into the next mission. New Mission Squad up. PUBG: BLINDSPOT, a new spin-off set in the PUBG universe from Krafton, expands the franchise with a standalone 5v5 top-down tactical shooter. Set across tightly designed maps, matches focus on information, positioning and coordinated team play, with squads clearing angles, locking down objectives and outmaneuvering opponents in fast, round-based firefights. Every callout and ability use matters, turning each round into a layered tactical puzzle rather than a simple test of reflexes. On GeForce NOW, responsive streaming and sharp RTX-powered visuals keep every angle, rotation and clutch play feeling precise, even on lower-powered devices. With support across a wide range of screens, the cloud makes it easy for the gaming squad to jump right into the action, without lengthy downloads or updates getting in the way.

Title: A "Cowboy Coalition" battle NCR corporate imperialism in this freshly released Fallout: New Vegas quest mod Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:46:05 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-cowboy-coalition-battle-ncr-corporate-imperialism-in-this-freshly-released-fallout-new-vegas-quest-mod Yee haw. If you've ever thought Fallout: New Vegas is a little low on folks in stetson hats whose spurs jingle, jangle, jingle, then this new quest mod will almost certainly be in your saloon. That's provided you're up for an unapologetically political story about NCR-backed Brahmin barons facing resistance from groups of local ranchers keen to avoid having their steads swallowed up by big business.

Title: Styx Blades of Greed publishers Nacon file for insolvency, will "assess all possible solutions" to "protect employees and "preserve jobs" Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:22:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/styx-blades-of-greed-publishers-nacon-file-for-insolvency-will-assess-all-possible-solutions-to-protect-employees-and-preserve-jobs Nacon - publishers of Styx: Blades of Greed, RoboCop: Rogue City, and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown - have announced that they've filed for insolvency.

Title: Discord concede they mucked up their age verification system rollout, delays it, will still make some of you do it Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:57:36 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/discord-concede-they-mucked-up-their-age-verification-system-rollout-delays-it-will-still-make-some-of-you-do-it Earlier this month, Discord said that they'd be rolling out a global age verification system to which everyone and their mother responded by saying "thank you," except they didn't say thank. A little bit later on, they also shared word of an experiment being run in relation to this new system and policy that involved an identity detection firm backed by a fund directed by Palantir chairman Peter Thiel called Persona, which apparently potentially stored any ID documentation you submitted to them for up to seven days. Now, after more and more pushback, Discord have put out a statement that still probably doesn't say what you wish it would. Read more

Title: Looking for Fael is The Witness for people who need more Tetris in their life, and you can try it for yourself now Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 21:36:36 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/looking-for-fael-is-the-witness-for-people-who-need-more-tetris-in-their-life-and-you-can-try-it-for-yourself-now I think on the offset, Looking for Fael isn't a difficult game to pitch, but perhaps one that takes a second to get to grips with. You play as, well, not Fael, but his roommate, who, as you may have guessed, is looking for Fael after receiving a strange voicemail message where he says he is somehow lost in your apartment. What follows is then a reality bending puzzle game where the world itself is a puzzle, but also you have to play a spin (pun intended) on the objectively best game ever made, Tetris. Read more

Title: The devs behind The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Prototype are back as a sort-of new, just as radical studio Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:10:37 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-devs-behind-the-simpsons-hit-run-and-prototype-are-back-as-a-sort-of-new-just-as-radical-studio The time is upon us! The time to once again become radical, as from the ashes of developers Radical Entertainment and Hothead Games a sort of but not really new studio has been born: New Radical Games. It does seem like Hothead drew the short straw here name wise. But given that Radical were known for the likes of The Simpsons: Hit & Run and the Prototype games, and Hothead made, uh, The Baconing, the choice feels apt. Read more
