August 23, 2025: A bunch of new Volleyball Legends codes just landed for UPD 33 and the Good vs Evil update.
What are the new Volleyball Legends codes? Taking to the volleyball court in this Roblox adventure will have you itching to get ahead of the competition. Inspired by the Haikyuu anime, you'll participate in volleyball matches in teams of six and compete to be the best.
This unofficial, fan-made Roblox game isn't strictly affiliated with Haikyuu, but the imagery and references to the manga series are plain to see. Unlike the latest Blox Fruits codes or Dress to Impress codes, Haikyuu Legends codes won't get you currency, but they can have a direct effect on your skill level in the game, so take note.
August 23, 2025: New Blue Lock Rivals codes are here for the 8v8 update.
What are the new Blue Lock Rivals codes? While your metavision may let you play the perfect pinpoint pass, you'll need a little extra assistance perceiving all the freebies the Roblox game offers.
Blue Lock Rivals throws you into world soccer's biggest pressure cooker, putting your skills to the test as you channel the playstyles of the hit series' biggest hitters on the field. You'll need to be on your A-game to succeed in this Roblox experience. Read on to find out the anime game's latest codes and how to redeem them.

French indie studio Draw Me A Pixel, best known for the cult hit There is No Game, has announced a brand-new comedic adventure: Crushed in Time. Revealed during Gamescom 2025, the spin-off stars Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they embark on a bizarre journey to track down a missing character not in their current […]
All VPN providers like to try and cement themselves as the most trustworthy of the bunch, and there's a new one on the scene that's banging the privacy drum louder than most. Promoting itself as "the only VPN that can't spy on you," Verified Privacy (going under the name VP.net) is going in hard on the 'no logs' claim made by most service providers, suggesting that other VPNs have trust issues - but how trustworthy is VP.net itself?
What was announced at Gamescom 2025? Gamescom is here, and with announcement after announcement coming in thick and fast for the next few days, following an action-packed Opening Night Live, you'd be forgiven for feeling a little overwhelmed.
Luckily, we're both on the ground in Germany and working hard at the office to bring you news of all the upcoming games announced during ONL, the Future Games Show, and other showcases. We're also getting our hands dirty with the most anticipated games right now, including Silksong and Resi Requiem, so here's everything we're up to and the latest announcements live from Gamescom so far.
Striking the balance between realism and engaging gameplay is a fascinating element of game design. It's an arena where far too many battles often rage, as the most die hard heritage buffs criticize every spoke and sprocket slightly out of place. For the most part, World of Tanks excels at finding common ground, meticulously recreating the likes of the Tiger I, M4 Sherman, and Crusader from archival material, while ensuring players don't have to worry about them breaking down mid-game. The studio's upcoming spinoff, World of Tanks Heat, takes many more historical liberties when it comes to amping up the action, foregoing function for freneticism in places. Speaking to Jamie at Gamescom, communications director Konrad Rawiński and game director Artyom Yantsevich explain why the shooter stands alone from its bigger brother.
From the heavy hitters of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest to more cult classics like Suikoden or the Mana series, many legendary JRPGs are being given new life thanks to remasters and remakes. One I've been particularly eager for, however, is about to arrive. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a gorgeous remake of the 2004 classic, and an exciting prospect; a chance to take a fresh and polished look at the opening to a series that has become famed for its deep, rich storytelling. It's arriving in full next month, but you can try a free demo on Steam right now.
August 23, 2025: Added new Stalky plants to the list.
What are Stalky plants in Grow a Garden? If you're hoping to grow the Roblox Beanstalk at a decent pace, you might have a whole hour to submit stalky plants to Jack at the base of where he's tossed his magic beans. But what are stalky plants in Grow a Garden, anyway? The beanstalk is an obvious one. But there are well over a dozen more you can grow yourself.
August 23, 2025: Added new Tropical plants to the list.
What are tropical plants in Grow a Garden? When Jack decides it's time to give some exotic fruits to the beanstalk in the middle of the map, it's time for alert Seed Shop shoppers to rise up. Many of the seeds stocked in the standard shop can fit the bill, making it one of the easier Beanstalk growth periods to max out.
Nestling comfortably between the expensive RTX 5080 and the disappointingly underpowered RTX 5070, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has unexpectedly found itself sitting in the sweet spot in this GPU generation. It's armed with 16GB of VRAM, which gives it enough headroom to really slide up the eye candy in your graphics settings, and its GPU performance isn't far off the RTX 4080, a card that cost $1,199 when it first launched.
That all looks pretty good for a card that ostensibly has a price of $749, and unlike the high-end Nvidia GPUs, there's a decent supply of 5070 Ti GPUs at the moment. At the time of writing, you can pick one up from Amazon for exactly $749.99, for example, although most 5070 Ti cards still go for at least $800. Can this card take on the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and earn a place on our guide to buying the best GPU? I've benchmarked it in several games, from Doom The Dark Ages to Cyberpunk 2077 at a variety of settings to find out.
August 23, 2025: New Woody plants have been added.
What are Woody plants in Grow a Garden? If you're hoping to help Jack's magic beans become a mega beanstalk every other hour, you may have to donate as many of these specific plant specimens as possible. Woody Grow a Garden plants on Roblox take some time to grow. Sow the seeds now, though, and you'll have plenty of time to reap the rewards over and over again.
August 23, 2025: We're adding new mutations from the second half of the GaG beanstalk event and the Steal a Brainrot admin abuse.
What are the best Grow a Garden mutations? Whether you want to build a garden that's perfect to show off to friends, or one that's designed to just make money, there are Grow a Garden mutations you'll want, others you'll want to avoid, and you'll need to know the effects one mutation might have when paired with another.
Since Grow a Garden works while you're not even playing, check out the best Roblox games around for something else to play while things grow. If you're open to quick recommendations of the biggest games around, check out the latest Blox Fruits codes or Blue Lock Rivals codes. Of course, be sure to check for new Grow a Garden codes, too.
August 23, 2025: We're adding new seeds from the second half of the GaG beanstalk event.
What's the Grow a Garden seeds tier list?

Our ranking of the best Grow a Garden plants can help.
August 23, 2025: New Flower plants have been added to the Grow a Garden flower plants list for the Beanstalk Pt. 2 event.
Looking for the latest Grow a Garden Flower plants and fruits? If you're looking to make the most of the beanstalk event in the biggest Roblox game around, you'll want to cover your farm in flower-class plants. The rarer the better, too.
August 23, 2025: We're looking for new Steal a Brainrot codes for the collab admin abuse with Grow a Garden.
What are the latest Steal a Brainrot codes? Taking clear cues from Grow a Garden, this new Roblox experience dismisses the idea of patience, perseverance, and the rewards that follow, and instead, you steal the hard work of others. It's poetic in a way. So much so that we're not sure what to make of it. But freebies are freebies, and that's what Steal a Brainrot game codes are good for.
But players are loving it. While it's far from meeting the lofty concurrent player goals of its inspiration, like Grow a Garden codes or Blox Fruits codes, it's putting Brainrot Evolution codes on high alert. Already certain it's not the one for you? Consider trying out Blue Lock Rivals codes instead. That's a Roblox game with an idea that copycats are struggling to replicate.
August 23, 2025: We're adding new GaG pets from the second leg of the Beanstalk event.
What are the best Grow a Garden pets? With an ever-increasing number of pets and wild animals to have roaming your garden, it makes sense to question the best use of pet slots and which eggs to shell out your shackles on.
Need a free seed pack to use alongside the pets you have roaming around in the biggest Roblox game ever? Check out all of the Grow a Garden codes. For more help in making money in Grow a Garden, check out our Grow a Garden values list. You can also make your own recipes for the cooking event with our Grow a Garden recipes list.

August 23, 2025: We're looking for new Five Nights TD codes now that FNTD 2 has been announced.
What are some new Five Nights TD codes? The latest list of working Nights TD game codes we've put together in this guide has been fully tested and is ready to grant you helpful Roblox rewards ranging from easy in-game currency to top-tier units.
Inspired by the original Five Nights at Freddy's games, this Roblox take on the iconic horror franchise has been immensely popular with thousands of active players. If it's other horror games you're after, be sure to try out the current Descent codes or Murder Mystery 2 codes. To make it through the night in Five Nights TD though, you'll need the rewards from the codes listed below for the best chance of survival.
August 23, 2025: We're working to add crop values for the Beanstalk Pt. 2 plants in Grow a Garden.
Need a Grow a Garden value list? If you're wondering if it makes sense to bankrupt yourself by buying that super rare seed you've got your eye on, our list of Grow a Garden crop prices should help you out. Though weight, mutation, yield, and growth time all play a part in the value of a fruit, vegetable, or flower, there's some simple logic to keep in mind.
New to the world of Roblox horticulture? Check out the latest Grow a Garden codes for some free seeds to get you started. Once you've established your allotment, take a peek at the Grow a Garden seeds tier list to see what's worth ditching once your planting space starts to fill up with valuable perennials.
We've had mere glimpses at the Silent Hill f map so far, even as Konami and developer NeoBards Entertainment has shown off increasingly more of its upcoming horror game. Maps have long been a fundamental part of the series, ever since the first outing, helping you to navigate the foggy streets and track down where you might be able to find your next clue. Now, PCGamesN has been given what appears to be the most detailed rendition of the new game's world we've seen yet, and we're happy to share it with you.
August 23, 2025: A slew of new Anime Final Strike codes have been added.

August 23, 2025: With new crops added with the second half of the Beanstalk update, it's time to update your GaG stock tracker preferences.
What's the best Grow a Garden stock tracker Discord? These can save you from the mammoth task of logging into the game every 10 minutes to check for new seeds, tools, and pets. With stock changing several times per school period, the best way to avoid GoG fatigue is to semi-automate the process of panning for new plants.
New to the Roblox Grow a Garden trend? To jumpstart your allotment, take a look at the Grow a Garden codes and Grow a Garden value list. Both can help you avoid spending all your sheckles on crops that don't always deliver. We've ranked the best critters to set free on your farm in our Grow a Garden pets tier list, too.
August 23, 2025: Added the Greatsword weapon tot he Hunty Zombie tier list.
What's Hunty Zombie tier list of best weapons? Though only released in an alpha state in August, Hunty Zombie has enough character mechanics to warrant numerous tier lists. So whether you're looking for the best traits, weapons, or perks in Hunty Zombie ahead of your first match, you'll find the best things to roll for here.
New or not, fresh Hunty Zombie codes have been dropping at a rapid pace. With cash, spins, and trait rerolls all being common rewards from these limited-time redeemables, letting a single one expire will mean passing up a potentially free S-tier Roblox upgrade. And if you're looking to break into the premium horror space, try the latest Dead by Daylight codes.
I woke up far too early this morning, to stand in a queue for far too long, all to play fan-vexing (and newly release-dated) soulsvania Hollow Knight: Silksong on the Gamescom show floor. No pre-release review codes? Pah – I couldn't even get a demo appointment at the most demo appointment-centric games event of the year. How's that for rejection.
Anyway, Team Cherry might just not be that into me, but I might well be into Silksong. It's a little quicker, a little more dynamic, and to these fingers, a little more difficult than the first Hollow Knight. But it entirely preserves that tight-as-a-drum feel of the original's sword swishing, and deploys it against insectoid baddies that challenge and frustrate in practically identical ways.
Wakana Kinme, the heroine in the Wash It All Away manga series, is something of a mystery. We know she's an amnesiac from the start. She's incredibly good at doing hand-washed laundry. However, we don't really know who she is, where she's from, and what happened to her. Some tiny hints came up in earlier volumes in the series, but it's the third one that starts to build up her story and suggest even more about her past in a satisfying way.
Editor's Note: There are some light spoilers for volume 3 of the manga Wash It All Away below.
While Wash It All Away is a slice of life type of series about a traditional laundry in the tourist town of Atami, it's more than that. It's a peek into the life of Wakana Kinme and the effect she has on people around her. She's generally a lovely young woman who cares about folks, wants to help them, enjoys communal bathhouses, and is fantastic at cleaning and restoring clothing and other fabrics. However, there's also a bit of a mystery lurking in the background of each installment. Wakana's last name, Kinme, comes from the hand-wash laundry where she works, and she's an amnesiac throughout Wash It All Away.

Now, prior to volume 3 of the manga, these have been a little far between. But with this third installment, we get multiple hints at Wakana's past. These are both overt and more of a possible aside. But in each case, they're helpful insights.
The most notable one is a whole story segment with Uka Hatsuayu involving a photo shoot for a government-sponsored tourism article for Hatsushima. Uka asks Wakana to help. Because of her amnesia, Wakana says she doesn't think she's been to that city before. And for the most part, the focus is on that modeling experience. She has a wonderful time with Uka, and the group gets the photos of both of them that are needed. Except… as things are about to end… Wakana wanders off.
What happens after that raises so many more questions. Not only about Wakana and her past, but I feel like about Hatsushima too. In the past, hints about her life in the previous volumes were so brief. We didn't get any major clues. There seemed to be a sense of sadness, but that's it. Now here, there's an even bigger clue, but also a mystery about her actions at the end of the visit.
I especially enjoyed how that paired with another insight into Wakana. During a storm later in the story, she runs into Kyusho Ishimochi. Her reactions to the weather seem over-the-top. It struck me as more than a simple phobia. Which makes me wonder if that's tied in to things as well.
Volume 3 of Wash It All Away also continued a pattern for Wakana backstory reveals, as it hints at her past and teases details while still maintaining the slice of life atmosphere. In the first volume, it happened during a summer sort of rain. Here, the hints happen in similar ways. In Hatsushima, the focus is on the trip, but we see Wakana sort of branch off toward the end in a way that doesn't totally take away from the main purpose and trip. When the storm happens again and we see her reactions, it's framed in a way to accentuate who she is and perhaps get us wondering why.
It means the mystery of Wash It All Away still gets to be paired with the slice of life ambiance we've come to expect from the series in a satisfying way. Wakana Kinme still gets to be a bright, dedicated, energetic, and welcoming young woman who helps others. However, she does also still get to experience these moments that leave us wondering as readers. The mystery is maintained without tarnishing the other elements we enjoy about the series. Given Square Enix teased an appearance of Kinme Cleaning's previous owner in volume 5, it makes me wonder what insights could appear next.
Volume 3 of Wash It All Away is available now, and Square Enix will release volume 4 on October 14, 2025. An anime adaptation of the series will appear in 2026.
After almost a decade in development, Escape from Takov 1.0 will mark the full launch of the strategic shooter, and it has indeed been a long time coming.
The news was confirmed earlier on Aug. 22 along with the release of patch 0.16.9, which introduced Targrad Tales. Let's quickly look at when the 1.0 version launch is coming to PCs, and what we should expect.
Escape from Tarkov 1.0 will be released globally on Nov. 15. Till then, the game will continue to be in a beta state (as it is at the time of writing) and will keep receiving upgrades, all of which will be available in the full launch.
It's hard to pinpoint an exact launch due to the general availability of Escape from Tarkov. Instead of using popular storefronts like Steam, you can purchase a copy only from the game's official website. The countdown below is based on the usual time to release major updates.
[hurrytimer id="1108223"]
Here are the expected times for when the 1.0 release should happen.
10am PST
Noon CST
1pm EST
5pm UTC
6pm BST
Once again, we have no confirmed timings for writing this guide. I will update this guide if we get more information in the lead-up to the release. There's always a scope for a potential delay, but fans have waited for over eight years now. Hopefully, there won't be any changes to the planned schedule, and full release should take place on Nov. 15.

Escape from Tarkov 1.0 features
Over the years, the developers have made plenty of additions to Escape from Tarkov, and they will all be available on the full version of the game.
The game is fundamentally an extraction shooter but aims to provide a hardcore survival experience. You'll be up against other players and the environment where every decision is essential, and you'll have to manage your resources while surviving in the brutal world, all at the same time.
Thanks to over 400 updates in the beta, there are more than 1000 weapons and tools to pick from, and all of them are deeply customizable based on your requirements/playstyle. There's a fully developed market where you can trade away your resources and get what you need.
Escape from Tarkov is far from the typical extraction shooters, and the beginner experience can be grueling. That said, version 1.0 will have all the updates made since the start of the beta phase, and you can pick up different editions based on your needs if you're willing to give the game a go.
Summer break is almost over. If you're going back to school this September, odds are, you either love it or hate it. Our BitLife character during the School Daze challenges probably enjoys it, but not for the reasons you'd expect.
BitLife's School Daze challenge has five objectives to complete:
You won't need any special career packs or expansions for this challenge. However, multiple objectives rely on luck, particularly those involving school clubs.
Be born in the United Kingdom
Our first objective during BitLife's Nerd challenge is to be born in the United Kingdom. Since this event doesn't require a specific town or city, you'll just need to choose the United Kingdom as your country when creating a new character. Your starting stats, name, and gender are entirely up to you.
Screenshot by Destructoid
Having high stats, particularly smarts and looks, will make this challenge much easier to complete. However, this is optional, as you can easily complete these tasks as long as you're familiar with BitLife's school system.
Mess with three of your primary school classmates
Your first task is to mess with at least three of your primary school classmates. To do this, age up until your character is old enough to enroll into primary school before navigating to School, Class, and any of your classmates. You'll find a "Mess" option that lets your character bully someone else.
I recommend only messing with your classmates three times just to complete the challenge. Every attempt lowers your popularity, making it harder to raise it later on for a later task. You can counteract this by befriending as many classmates as possible and increasing your overall stats.
They're also likely to retaliate by messing with you in return or telling a teacher, so be prepared for some consequences. Fortunately, this doesn't usually impact your character too much, so keep at it until you finish the task.
Skip secondary school three times
Screenshot by Destructoid
Your next task is to age up until your character can skip secondary school. You'll find a "Skip" option through your school menu. You usually won't get in trouble for it, but your grades will slip each time you do it.
Achieve 70 percent popularity in secondary school
While our character is in secondary school, continue improving your stats, particularly looks and smarts. You'll also want to befriend as many classmates as possible to raise your popularity.
Screenshot by Destructoid
If your popularity is still low after entering secondary school, join an extracurricular activity and work hard to move up its rank. Becoming the captain of a club will raise your popularity, helping you cross over the 70 percent threshold for the challenges.
Go to juvie
Our last task for BitLife's School Daze challenge is to get our character to go to juvie. You can only do this if your character is 17 or younger, so you'll need to make sure you act quickly before you age up to adulthood. You can enter juvie by committing crimes through the Activities menu until you're caught and apprehended by the police.
Misbehaving in school and going to juvie will complete BitLife's School Daze challenge, rewarding you with a mystery cosmetic prize. If you're interested in tackling another weekly event for your vault, be sure to check out How to complete BitLife's Nerd challenge.
The Engine+ Evolution is now live in EA FC 25, and you can complete the free set of upgrades to improve a card of your choice.
The latest evolution allows you to upgrade your chosen item to an overall rating of 98. They will get additional boosts, playstyles, roles, and more along the way. With so many available options, let's take a look at the best possible choices.
InZOI's Island Getaway DLC has added plenty of new jobs to the already available list of career options that you can explore on the islands of Cahaya.
While the DLC is holiday-themed, you can do much more than just explore the picturesque beaches. For starters, the main island of Cahaya allows you nine different full-time career options to pick from.
All InZOI Island Getaway careers
Every job in the Island Getaway is automatic. There are three different positions, offering three types of money.
While you can't enjoy the act of driving around the island yourself, the money is still decent.
Field Work Assistant
Farmer (M 120)
One of the new jobs that don't offer too much options. You can auto farm in the morning to earn your wages, but the amount is low. Manual farming, in contrast is a far better option.
Mining Union
Miner (M 120)
Similar to the Field Work Assistant job. You can choose to let your zoi auto mine and earn daily wages, but doing the same work manually is more rewarding.
Good choice for those who're into the process of saving the wildlife, and the pay is also pretty decent.
Red Bone Tissue
Rookie (M 360) Underboss (M 666) Boss (M 2,169)
This is the best new job to select if you want a massive payday to boost your zoi's bank balance. However, you're no longer going to be on the side of a law-abiding citizen (something to keep in mind).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNWBSArTQmg
While there's definitely decent variety in terms of new jobs in the Island Getaway DLC, you can't actually do any of them in the game. Instead, they are done automatically per the applicable schedule, which certainly makes them slightly boring in the long run, but ideal for beginners in InZOI.
