     Dark Souls PvP has been

Every Dark Souls PvP server, across all three games in the series on PC, has been "temporarily deactivated" by Bandai Namco and From Software in the wake of the discovery of a security exploit that could allow hackers to take control of a user's PC - which could have also affected the PC release of Elden Ring.

With barely a month to go before the release of From Software's latest action-RPG Elden Ring, an alert has gone round the Dark Souls community of a new remote code execution security vulnerability - an exploit that, reportedly, could let hackers take over a user's PC. They could do that entirely through Dark Souls PvP, it seems, particularly in Dark Souls 3 - and the community suggests the same issue is present in Elden Ring.

The good news is that Bandai Namco is aware of the issue and has taken steps to prevent players from succumbing to it. A community rep posted in the Reddit thread to confirm that the team knew about it, but now temporary action has been taken to halt the exploit.

     Halo Infinite XP boosts lost during server outages may not get replaced

There have been a few server issues since Halo Infinite launched in November, but while these are understandable, players have been frustrated by the loss of XP boosts used during recent server outages - and it looks like these boosts will not be replaced.

Players have had a number of issues with Halo Infinite and XP earning through its multiplayer Battle Pass, but while the biggest concern remains the lack of progression-based XP a further annoyance is the way the game's double-XP boosts work - by time in general, rather than time spent in-game. If a player activates a 30-minute booster, it will count down whether they're playing or not.

While this is annoying when just hanging around the lobby trying to find a match, it's worse when a boost is activated and then the whole game goes down - like what happened to Halo Infinite just last week. One player got in touch with Halo Support to see if the team would replace the XP boosts they lost, and it doesn't seem like that will be happening.
