PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 7:39 AM The long-awaited arrival of Inzoi mod support is finally here, as its developer launches the first major update for the hyper-realistic life sim. As one of the leading challengers to The Sims 4's crown, Inzoi's biggest early-access trouble has been a sense that it's currently a bit light on variety and personality. Fortunately, this new update injects a much-needed dose of items and features into its stunning world, taking a big step on the path towards fulfilling its promised potential. Alongside this comes the first Inzoi Steam sale, letting you sneak a discount if you're ready to give it a try.

PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 7:36 AM If the original Cities Skylines is still popular after ten years, it's partly because of its extensive, flexible asset editor. You can import custom assets, create bespoke intersections, and even design your own in-game models. It's a fundamental part of modding and key to the 'open' nature of CS1's development tools. Naturally, the arrival of the Cities Skylines 2 asset editor is highly anticipated. In October, it will be two years since the city-building sequel was originally released, and despite some transformative updates and patches, customization tools with equivalent depth and flexibility to those in CS1 are yet to arrive. With the Bridges and Ports DLC delayed and still in the works, the Cities Skylines 2 team now confirms that development of the assets editor is temporarily a secondary priority.

PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 7:54 AM When is the Light No Fire release date? The survival sandbox game was announced at The Game Awards in 2023, and it immediately caught our attention thanks to its Valheim vibes and colorful fantasy world. Developer Hello Games has been working on No Man's Sky for over a decade, so it was a welcome surprise to see co-founder Sean Murray join Geoff Keighley on stage to reveal the studio's next ambitious title. Light No Fire is an exploration and building game set in an open world featuring a variety of procedurally generated biomes, enemies, and resources. Murray outlines the team's goal to create "a planet that is as varied as a universe." From the gameplay trailers we've seen so far, the scale of its mountains and seas is no less vast than No Man's Sky. Murray touts it as "the first real open world" game, so let's dig into everything we know about the Light No Fire release date, gameplay, and latest news. |
PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 6:59 AM There's never been a better time to upgrade to a brand new AMD gaming CPU if you're on a tight budget, as the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X price has just dropped to $179.99. Not only is this figure the lowest ever price for this CPU on Amazon, but it's also nearly $100 cheaper than this CPU's $279 launch price only nine months ago. In fact, at this price, this new AMD CPU is now even cheaper than its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 7600X, which is one of the best gaming CPUs you can buy if you don't have big bucks to spend. With six cores based on the mighty Zen 5 architecture, this new chip is even quicker than the 7600X, thanks to the improvements made in AMD's latest CPU architecture, and it also boosts to up to 5.4GHz, giving it a 100MHz advantage over its predecessor.

PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 6:55 AM When is the Beast of Reincarnation release date? Game Freak has broken free from The Pokemon Company once again, but we've never seen anything quite like this before. While the Japanese developer has produced original platformers, puzzlers, and card games over the years, Beast of Reincarnation is a very different, well, beast. Beast of Reincarnation is an action RPG game that appears to follow FromSoftware's soulslike formula. According to Game Freak, it boasts "demanding, technical combat" that resembles the cadence of Sekiro's dodges and parries, set in a post-apocalyptic vision of Japan reclaimed by nature. Here's everything you need to know to prepare for the Beast of Reincarnation release date next year. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best action games, Best RPG games, Best action-adventure games |

PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 6:17 AM Path of Exile 3.26 just got even bigger right before launch. Seemingly not content with the sweeping overhauls and additions in its Secrets of the Atlas update, developer Grinding Gear Games has introduced a bonus mechanic right at the last minute. The renown system expands this season's challenge league, Mercenaries of Trarthus, by rewarding you for your successes in battle and punishing you for ducking out of dangerous fights.

PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 6:16 AM Multiplayer shooters often motivate you with the promise of more - more kills, more XP, more levels, more perks. It means games like Battlefield, Delta Force, and Escape From Tarkov are inherently selfish; it's all about what you can get as an individual, rather than what might be better for your teammates or companions. Hell Let Loose is different. Death is almost instant; whether you're dealing it out or on the receiving end, a single well-placed bullet means the end of life. On the contrary, the maps are large and each match is long. The goal here is to eke out marginal territorial gains through team play and tactics - if you go it alone, and try to be the one-person army, you'll get nowhere. If you haven't experienced Hell Let Loose before, now's the time. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best WW2 games, Best war games, Best FPS games |
PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 6:16 AM When is the Soulframe release date? The upcoming fantasy MMORPG from the creators behind Warframe has been on our minds since it was first announced in 2022. More recently, developer Digital Extremes has revealed story details and gameplay trailers that give us an idea of what to expect from Soulframe's beautiful open world that establishes its themes of climate change and environmental destruction. Soulframe certainly looks and feels very different from its sci-fi sister, Warframe, instead, it takes cues from our favorite fantasy games. However, there are plenty of parallels to delight long-time Warframe fans and new players alike once the MMORPG arrives. Until then, here's everything we know so far, including all the latest news surrounding the Soulframe release date and the upcoming Preludes playtests.

PCGamesN Friday, June 13, 2025 5:43 AM What are the best sandbox games? Sandbox games are difficult to nail down, as the sandbox style is spread across countless genres with disparate mechanics and settings. But all sandboxes share a common trait: freedom. Whether it's creating a whole world or building up a gang of criminals across a city, sandbox games leave most of the agency up to the player. They are universes to be experienced at a pace not dictated by developers. Some of the best PC games of all time are those that allow total player freedom, but there needs to be a bit of clarity when looking at what makes a great sandbox game. They have, since the days of Elite and Ultima, referred to open-world games filled with choice and diversions. But revisionist history would describe them as "games like Minecraft". For the purposes of this exploration of the best of the bunch, we're taking a look at them all. So, from the mean streets of Los Santos through the ruthless missions of Agent 47 and the stunning expanse of Eve's universe, these are the very best sandbox games on PC.

With the Dark Seeker Saga concluded, now begins The Lost Master arc. There were initial hopes that Square's continuation with Unreal Engine, which it switched to mid-way through the development of Kingdom Hearts 3, would ensure there wouldn't be another huge gap between instalments of the dearly beloved RPG series. But, three years after Kingdom Hearts 4's announcement, we're still surviving on scraps. Read on for our latest KH4 release date estimate and what we know so far.

The Shapeshifters promo is coming soon to EA FC 25, and we have the first set of leaks on social media.
Thanks to in-game objectives, we already have the confirmed release date for the promo. A few cards have also been confirmed (as part of the Season 8 Pass), but EA Sports has remained tight-lipped about the promo cards. So here's a look at the rumored cards expected to appear as part of the new promo.
Complete list of EA FC 25 Shapeshifters players
We have confirmation about all the cards that will be part of the first team.
As we get more leaks, they will be added to the list. Shapeshifters will have three teams, so it will be a major promo. The promo will include Icons and regular footballers, so bad luck for those who love Heroes.
Here's a list of all the confirmed cards. All these items are obtainable from the Season Pass.
The Shapeshifters cards have two special properties about them.

The Steam Next Fest has introduced the world to countless fantastic indie titles, all of which have available demos for people to try.
Among them there is a sea of games of a particular kind, one where shiny things with different colors give various power-ups that may or may not help you on the next permadeath run. I'm talking of course about looter shooters and roguelikes, games where you'll spend dozens of hours grinding for that one piece of gear to enhance your odds.
For the sake of this list I've singled out a few of them which you certainly shouldn't miss out on.
Table of contents
Hell Clock
![]()
Have you ever asked yourself the question: "What if Hades was set in late 19th century Brazil amid a brutal war of extermination?" Well, if you did, Hell Clock embodies the answer, providing you with a deep, dark, and brutal title where you descend into madness and try to shed some light on the grim world.
The game is based on historical events, particularly the War of Canudos, also known as the Canudos Massacre, where tens of thousands were summarily killed during political struggles between the Republicans and Monarchists, which adds to its serious tone. It plays much like Hades and other games in the genre where each run provides you with extra options and upgrades, increasing your odds bit by bit until you finally succeed.
Terminull Brigade
![]()
In the sea of Chinese games, few are ever really good. Most of them are just Hoyo-inspired RPGs that take you nowhere, their flashy graphics and anime characters be damned. However, sometimes a few gems appear in the rough, and Terminull Brigade is one such title. It's a third-person roguelite where you go from stage to stage, clear rooms of enemies, until finally combatting a boss, gaining various powers and upgrades along the way.
It has an awesome graphical style, countless nods to other popular games, and fantastic music, which, coupled with a solid gameplay loop, provide for a very satisfying roguelike experience. The demo isn't all too long or polished, so while you should certainly try it out, do be sure that there are a few rough patches.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die
![]()
This title is the one that's coming out the soonest of them all, set to launch in full on June 17. It is a sequel to the first game, Lost in Random, where you play as Aleksandra, a master of dies that, alongside her 6-side dice companion Fortune, combats the forces of darkness.
The game is a quick and lethal gameplay experience, where moment-to-moment reactions are crucial to successful runs. It's similar to Terminull Brigade in the sense that you go from room to room and clear enemies until finally reaching the boss arena, but starkly different in its gameplay execution. It's much more difficult than the average roguelike game, and your reflexes have to be on point and never falter if you are to even have a chance to clear the boss.
Builds are also much more complex and open-ended than the average title, with your having to collect numerous Relics and Pearls and combine them in unique ways so as to make the most of their bonuses. It's certainly a very unique game, and it's emphasis on random chances and dice makes it a true roguelike where you never know what to expect.
Hunters Inc.
![]()
If you don't have the means to afford the latest Monster Hunter release, then perhaps this indie title can satisfy your desires for a monster-hunting adventure. In Hunters Inc., you play as an Orc traversing a dangerous wasteland and hunting down monsters more dangerous still, all with the goal of looting, crafting, and progressing.
It's the most loot-focused of all of the games on this list and the more dangerous the monsters, the rarer the loot that they yield. The rarer the loot, then, the better the gear you can craft. It's a timeless gameplay loop that never gets old or stale, and what's more, you can play it with up to three friends and make sure all of you are dopamine deprived by the end of the day.
