It's been only a, *checks watch*, casual 15 years since the last Skate game came out. Now, we finally have an early access release date for skate. (styled lowercase, with a period): September 16, 2025. The early access version is free and heading to PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and the EA app.

If last week's tease wasn't enough of a confirmation, it's now official: Helldivers 2 is getting Halo: ODST content on August 26. Halo: ODST featured orbital dropship troopers deploying onto the battlefield, making them a perfect addition to Helldivers 2′s chaotic action. The new Legendary Warbond will be added to Helldivers 2 when it launches on August 26, the very same day that Gears of War: Reloaded is going to take cover on PS5.

Aggro Crab expressed that they would prefer players to pirate their game than engage with the blatantly inferior and monetized Roblox rip-off, Cliff.

Apple's approval of Bitcoin microtransactions in SaruTobi is a historic shift. The tech for open, developer-driven payments has existed for a while. What's changed is the regulatory environment which has cracked open the gates. By integrating Lightning directly into the game, we've created a frictionless experience that gives players new ways to engage, spend, and earn value.

Since launching late last year, the free-to-play from NetEase has been a massive hit across console and PC. Not a big enough hit to avoid layoffs, though.
