Everyone likes it when they get free stuff, and it's even better when it's for hugely popular multiplayer games like Valorant.

While we still love single-player games, there's also something to be said for the chaotic joy to be had in multiplayer experiences, especially massively multiplayer ones. One of the few downsides to playing with friends and strangers around the world is the instability of online servers. As a survival MMO, Dune Awakening could fall victim to severe server downtime, so if you're struggling to get into Arrakis, that could be why.

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 16, 2025 11:20 AM Upgrading the GPU in your gaming laptop is normally not an option, but external graphics card cases allow you to make that change, so long as you have a fast enough Thunderbolt/USB port. The new Razer Core X V2 makes that upgrade easier than ever, though you'll need to supply the graphics card yourself. Even the most powerful options in our best gaming laptop guide can't hold a candle to the performance of a desktop graphics card, thanks to the thermal limits of most laptops, and the fact that Nvidia made its laptop RTX 5090 far less powerful than the desktop version. With external GPU enclosures (eGPUs) such as this new one from Razer, though, you can get close to true desktop gaming performance.

PCGamesN Wednesday, July 16, 2025 11:02 AM Intel is reportedly working on a brand new gaming CPU with a very powerful GPU built into it, potentially meaning you wouldn't need a separate graphics card to run games at decent settings – you could just use the CPU instead. According to the latest word on the tech rumor grapevine, the new Intel Nova Lake AX lineup of processors is designed to counter the latest AMD Ryzen AI Max CPUs, codenamed Strix Halo, some of which have enormously powerful integrated GPUs. AMD has had a big advantage over Intel when it comes to integrated graphics since it bought ATi back in 2006, and we were impressed by the performance of its new Strix Halo platform when we tested it for our Asus ROG Flow Z13 review - its integrated GPU isn't far off the pace of a budget separate graphics card. If Intel can make a chip with a similarly powerful GPU, our guide to buying the best handheld could look quite different in the future, if that were an area where Intel decided to focus its efforts.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, July 16, 2025 1:04 PM  Counter-Strike surfing is a modded game mode for Valve's bomb defusal FPS in which players skate through obstacle courses by means of a Source engine physics glitch. It has a proud history dating back to 2004, when modder Charles "Mariowned" Joyce discovered that it was far more enjoyable to slide off roofs than shoot people in his custom map Killbox. So he made a new map dedicated to sliding, The Gap. Thus the greasy chute that led to Alice0 (RPS in peace) hailing CS surfing as "the esport we deserve" in 2020. People have crafted their own versions of the mode in games like Roblox, and Proper Game Developers such as Blizzard have seemingly taken inspiration - Overwatch's Lucio is surely a love letter to the mode. Now here comes SurfsUp, a free-to-play surfing game in the Godot Engine. Released this month, it's been favourably compared to surf maps in Valve's Counter-Strike 2, and is worth a pop even if you have no prior experience of counters or striking. Also, to clarify, it has nothing to do with that licensed penguin game for Xbox 360. Stand down, Cody Maverick groupies. |

They've worked with fellow developers Virtuos to add-in some new cars, a taxi system, self-driving cars, and other stuff not related to getting from A to B. |

It'll rearrange the workings of age transitions, with a view to providing a bit more continuity between epochs and helping you finish your to-do list before crossing the threshold. We can expect a new commander, too - Trưng Nhị, sister to existing Vietnamese leader Trưng Trắc. Perhaps most significantly, the feature will re-introduce auto-explore mechanics for scouts. This piques my interest, inasmuch as I haven't ever thought critically about auto-explore mechanics, and now that I do, I realise I regard them with a mixture of enthusiasm and spite. |

But it means Strange Scaffold's sci-fi stockbroker sim was, at the very least, 2021's second best organ trading sim. Nice to see it's getting a sequel then, called... oh no.

"This isn't a place of honour," says studio head of Strange Scaffold, Xalavier Nelson Jr. "You aren't going to be making fancy Overcooked-style dishes. You will be beating a giant rat or a minotaur with a rolling pin, taking an object from their corpse, throwing it onto a grill on a beach, and then firing it into a kaiju's jaws with a catapult or a manganel."

Sega announced it will open a Sega Store Tokyo storefront in the Shibuya Parco department store. People can find it at 15-1 Udagawacho in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, and it is on the sixth floor. It will open on July 18, 2025. People will be able to visit every day between 10am and 9pm JST. An English language website is also open for it.
As expected from a dedicated storefront, Sega Store Tokyo will sell both general items based on the company's games and properties and exclusive items. The website featured sections looking at Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage, Love and Berry, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona, Puyo Puyo, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Yakuza merchandise. Some of the items included acrylic standees, shirts, and plush toys. Among the exclusives shown was a Sonic the Hedgehog x Kosuke Kawamura plush, which is available in three different varieties.
Here's how those stuffed toys look:
There's also a promotional video showing the store off.
This is one of multiple new stores opening in Tokyo. A Dragon Ball one is on the way and will also sell exclusive merchandise. There's no exact release date for that storefront just yet.

Sega kicked off a new Luminasta Hatsune Miku Conceptual figure series in Japan, and the first one is based on a swimsuit design drawn by Hisen Kaede. It is a prize figure that will show up in Japanese arcades on July 18, 2025. It isn't showing up on stores worldwide yet, but other Vocaloid ones in the line are at Crunchyroll and Big Bad Toy Store. This suggests global pre-orders could open soon.
This prize figure is one of the taller ones. Hatsune Miku stands at about eight inches (21cm). She's posed standing on one foot. Both of her hands are holding her straw hat on her head. Her hair is worn in pigtails, as always. Meanwhile, her bikini is white, green, and yellow.
Here's the Hatsune Miku figure alongside the Hisen Kaede concept art to show how the initial design of the character in the figure turned ended up being adapted into actual merchandise.
This isn't the first time Hisen Kaede drew Hatsune Miku. The artist's Pixiv account features a number of designs of the Vocaloid. One of the most recent showed the character with a poppy look and appeared on July 13, 2025. The creator also drew art of Hatsune Miku for the MikuColle game.
It's also the second major Luminasta figure to appear this week in Japan. A Mega Man one debuts on the same day.
The first Hatsune Miku Luminasta Conceptual series figure of her in a swimsuit debuts in Japan on July 18, 2025, and the prize figure could appear worldwide after that.

The next Umamusume: Pretty Derby banners debut on July 16, 2025, and Cygames shared what to expect from the new Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio Trainee character alts and SSR Kitasan Black Support Card. While the two units aren't too different from the original, even with the new outfits, skills, and growth rate bonuses, the Support Card is widely hailed to be one of the most influential ones in the game. Every player was also sent 1,500 Carats again.
The Fire at My Heels: Kitasan Black SSR Support card in Umamusume: Pretty Derby is one of two debuting in the game on this banner, and it is acclaimed even now in the Japanese version of the game due to its bonuses and skills. It's a Speed card that includes possible events that can increase the mood of your character by experiencing them so you don't need to take part in Recreation. Its Professor of Curvature skill also helps with increasing velocity on turns with a common trigger. She debuts alongside the SSR Stamina Support Card The Will to Overtake: Satono Diamond. While not as helpful as the other top Stamina card Murmuring Stream: Super Creek and its Swinging Maestro skill that recovers stamina on turns, Iron Will can recover stamina if you find yourself blocked at the beginning of a race.
Here's how both of those look:
In the case of the Trainee character alts, both of them are based on depictions of Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio from the anime. Both are three-stars. They also have 10% growth rates in three stats each, rather than two stats where one has 20% and another has 10%. This Mejiro is primarily a Pace Chaser initially who is best at Medium and Long races. She gets growth rate boosts in Stamina, Power, and Wit. She comes knowing the Legacy of the Strong skill. Tokai Teio is also a Pace Chaser who is best at Medium races, and her three Growth Rate areas are Speed, Stamina, and Guts. Her skill is Certain Victory.
You can see the official images for both below:
The video of the anime season 2 song "Run for Our Dream" in the Umamusume: Pretty Derby game is also live on the official YouTube channel:
The Biwa Hayahide Trainee banner and SSR Mejiro Palmer Support Card one both end today, and both join the general pool after.

Following a release date delay in June 2025, Nintendo finally announced the Link and Zelda live-action actors for the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie. Shigeru Miyamoto revealed both on the company's social media account. Link will be played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth. Meanwhile, Zelda is Bo Bragason.
Here is the statement from Miyamoto about both live-action The Legend of Zelda Link and Zelda actors. It also again confirmed the new May 2027 release date.
Given the age of both characters, it seems like we'll be looking at the teenage or younger interpretations of Link and Zelda in this movie. We don't know any other actors for characters like Ganondorf.
Both Ainsworth and Bragason are British actors. Ainsworth is best known as Mark Critch from the show Son of a Critch, though he also was the voice of Pinocchio in Disney's live-action movie. Bragason is better known for her roles in British TV shows. She played Roxy Jackson in Renegade Nell and Amy Knightly in The Jetty.
The Legend of Zelda live-action movie will show up in movie theaters on May 7, 2027, and we should learn more about additional actors in the film now that the Link and Zelda roles ended up confirmed.

Nintendo announced Switch 2 owners will get a chance to try Drag x Drive, the 3v3 wheelchair basketball game, ahead of launch with a Global Jam demo. This will be an online event held during three sessions between August 9-10, 2025. Only people who subscribe to one of the two Nintendo Switch Online membership tiers can take part.
There will be three times to take part if you are part of NSO or the Expansion Pass tier. All someone would need to do is download the Drag x Drive Global Jam demo client from the eShop. Here's the full list.
It isn't uncommon for Nintendo to hold a limited, online demo event for a title that is a multiplayer-focused one. This happened with Splatoon. Both the first and second games ended up being introduced with Global Testfire events that let people test out Turf War. Since the whole point of Drag x Drive is to go through 3v3 wheelchair basketball games, you would need that multiplayer experience to get the most out of the trial.
Drag x Drive will come to the Switch 2 on August 14, 2025, and the Global Jam demo will let Nintendo Switch Online subscribers test it out between August 9-10, 2025.

Shogakukan has announced that a new chapter for the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End manga will appear in the 34th issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday on July 23, 2025. This will also mark the return of the manga series after having a lengthy hiatus in the first half of 2025.
The latest chapter of the manga before this announcement was Chapter 140. Shogakukan formally published the chapter online on Sunday Webry on January 8, 2025. The last page of this chapter has a footnote stating that the series would go on a hiatus from the following manga magazine issue.
In addition, the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End section on Sunday Webry only has the first three chapters and the latest chapter available to read publicly in Japanese. Once the new Chapter 141 has appeared, the preceding Chapter 140 will no longer be available for free.
An anime adaptation of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End has also appeared, and its first season is available to watch via Crunchyroll. However, the second season is not expected to arrive until 2026. For the meantime, FuRyu is working to release miniature replicas of Frieren's staff in Japan in October 2025.

Pokemon toys and cards will start appearing at McDonald's in Japan from early August 2025. The toys will be available from the 8th, while the cards will be available from the 9th to the 11th.
While you can only get a Pikachu or a Charmander toy, there are five different cards to receive at random. You can receive either a Sprigatito, a Fuecoco, a Quaxly, a Ralts, or a Riolu. Everyone will also get a Pikachu card. These cards have the McDonald's logo at the bottom right of the picture. Otherwise, they're existing cards from the TCG. The Pikachu, however, is an exclusive card that features the Pokemon looking excitedly at a burger combo. The effect is the same as the existing Pikachu card in the TCG, though.
Most of the top comments on the post express worry about scalpers who might ruin the experience for average fans or children. In 2023, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam announced a collaboration with The Pokemon Company, with an exclusive Pikachu card available for purchase. However, the card quickly sold out, and scalpers listed it on sites like eBay with a huge markup. Some cards went for hundreds of dollars. The McDonald's Japan post did not note if it would limit purchases of Happy Meals to curb resellers from monopolizing the exclusive Pikachu card.

Destiny 2's new The Edge of Fate expansion struggled to capture fans' hearts ahead of its release, and that disinterest translated into a drastic drop in its player count. The update peaked at just under 100,000 Steam players on launch day—the worst performance for an expansion so far.
Destiny 2 boasted a peak of only 99,131 players on July 15, when the expansion released. Previous DLCs had far bigger numbers: Last year's The Final Shape had over 300,000 players at its peak, while the disastrous Lightfall also crossed that threshold in 2023. In February 2022, The Witch Queen peaked at 289,895 players, according to tracking website SteamCharts (as spotted by Forbes' Paul Tassi).
The Edge of Fate already faced an uphill battle. Player reception to the new Fate saga didn't seem as strong after a lull in content and a myriad of systemic changes, including the creation of armor and weapon tiers, bonuses to recent gear, and vague promises about the future of crafting.
Even the time-limited Rite of the Nine event largely failed to warm up the player base long-term. Inspired by the highly successful Pantheon event from Into the Light, the dungeon-based challenge gave Destiny 2 a short-lived burst of activity before it dwindled again. This could be partly attributed to how the studio communicated about the new weapon tiers, potentially creating confusion concerning the effectiveness of the event guns in The Edge of Fate's new sandbox.
The Edge of Fate's player count is a symptom of a long-embattled Bungie, facing two sets of layoffs between 2023 and 2024, plus lukewarm reception to most of the recent content and huge dissatisfaction throughout the year of The Final Shape.
Despite the dwindling player count, though, the new expansion still ranked among Steam's top sellers and gave a huge bump to the average player count for the time being. With the key changes coming with Edge of Fate, though—including the discontinuation of seasonal content as we knew it—it remains to be seen how the game will fare in the new Fate saga.

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting its anticipated Update 2.3 tomorrow. While it adds some cool stuff (and opens the game up to Mac users), it's certainly not one of its biggest. What's more, this update will probably be the game's last, and what a ride it has been to get here.
On July 17, Cyberpunk 2077 is set to receive its likely final patch. Bringing over a lot of new cool features, such as Delamain auto-driving your vehicle while you take cool screenshots. The game will also drop on Mac, finally allowing Apple users to play this amazing game and what's probably the only title letting you experience the cyberpunk genre the way it's meant to be experienced.
Since 2020, CDPR has been on a path of redemption and penance, putting out update after update to make Cyberpunk 2077 as close to the intended vision as possible.
The first bunch of updates were fine, but it wasn't until Update 2.0 that everyone went, "Yep, this is what Cyberpunk 2077 was meant to be." And sure, the update revitalized the game, which, after Edgerunners and Phantom Liberty came out, gained an entirely new reputation, one centered on its quality rather than its shortcomings.
Even so, Cyberpunk 2077 remains at best "the game that could." With one of the biggest open worlds out there, one'd expect it to be packed to the brim with content and opportunities. However, outside of your usual quests and side missions, there is honestly very little to do. And you can feel, at every rundown corner and corporate plaza, that CDPR intended to have stuff there. It just isn't, and probably never will be.
With Update 2.3, we will get cool new cars, camera modes, photo mode expansions, and so on, but no amount of patching and updating will ever fill the void that is "the game that could," with lacking features, content, missions, prologue, impactful decisions, and so on.
And perhaps it's better that way. It is a testament to how developers can and will fix things if given enough time, and that games, if they aspire to be something revolutionary, simply need more time in the oven.
Cyberpunk 2, I hope, will be much better in every way, shape, and form than its predecessor and will not require either a 2.0 milestone or 2.3 update to feel whole and "as it should be," all the while its true form remains elusive and distant in some developer's head half-way across the globe, existing only as "a dream that was Cyberpunk."
All in all, it's been one hell of a ride. CDPR proved it isn't the type to give up after a failed launch (looking at you, EA and Ubisoft), and we got the best deal possible outside the fictional "real" game. It also certainly helped CDPR rethink how it approaches development, rightfully avoiding early hype for its new games.

Featuring a Career mode where managing your trainee's stats and arsenal is vital, Umamusume Pretty Derby sets itself apart as one of the most exciting gacha games on the market.
The mode's rogue-like feel and management-focused style, however, can make it specifically tricky for those new to the genre. To boost your chances of success and help your runners achieve their dreams, here's a full overview of how the Umamusume Pretty Derby career mode works, and a few must-know tips and tricks.
Table of contents
How the Umamusume Career Mode works
The Career mode in Umamusume Pretty Derby sees you take part in scenarios with a trainee of your choice. During it, you can alternate between training, resting, hanging out, and racing while witnessing your chosen Umamusume's storyline.
But don't go thinking all of the events here will be the same when reprising it, as although the main points of a trainee's career won't change, you can unlock new events based on your performance and RNG. At the moment of writing, only the URA Finale scenario is available as part of the game's global version.
Picking your Veteran Umamusume
Before officially starting your career, however, you must also select a duo of Veteran Umamusume and a set of Support Cards. The veterans offer initial stat boosts (and unique skills if on 3-stars or above) and can be acquired by completing careers. They also allow you to get both new skills and stat/rating increases via Sparks.
The Sparks can be triggered after each round of Inspiration and vary from 1 to 3 stars. Keep in mind that, unlike the stat sparks, which offer boosts, Skill Sparks provide you with hints. Lastly, Track, Distance, and Style Sparks offer your Umamusume rating increases. For example, in the event you trigger a Pace Chaser spark while having an A-Rank aptitude, it will be boosted to S.
About Support Cards
You also need to pick a series of six support cards when starting a career. The first five can be freely selected from your collection, while the sixth must be borrowed from friends or picked from random draws. All cards offer unique effects and are linked to different training regimens.
Picking the regimens featuring the Umamusume starring on your cards can then allow you to unlock hints to their skills and raise their Friendship level, thus unlocking enhanced training versions and unique events. In most cases, runners benefit the most from sets featuring 3+ Speed Cards.
More on Training and all stats
Training is the main way in which you can boost your trainee's stats in Umamusume. Each regimen spends energy and boosts their chances of failing or getting injured. You can recover energy by resting, selecting certain dialogue options, or taking your trainee to outings. To help you know what you are investing in, here's an overview of all the main stats and what they determine in Umamusume Pretty Derby:
What stats should you prioritize?
Although each Umamusume's unique strengths might cause variations, all running styles in Pretty Derby benefit the most from Speed, Stamina, and Power, in this order. If running sprints, Speed can then be your only priority. You can check out a few easy-to-train Umamusume and the best stats for them below:
Now that you know all you need to about the game's career mode, make sure to also check out our Umamusume Pretty Derby support card tier list to get the best selection for your future champion.

The big trailer for EA FC 26 is out, and the game is now available for pre-order across PC and consoles.
The maiden trailer had plenty of exciting features coming up for the fans pretty soon, and the game will be available across different editions. Once again, you can choose to pay extra and enjoy additional features.
Table of contents
EA FC 26 release countdown
The exact release date and time for EA FC 26 will vary based on your selected edition and platform. You can opt between two editions: Standard and Ultimate. The latter has several extra benefits, and it includes up to seven days of early access.
In short, you can start playing the game on September 19 if you purchase the Ultimate Edition. If you go for the Standard Edition, you'll need to wait until September 26. If you're on a console, EA Sports will be opting for a regional launch, meaning the game will be available when it's midnight at your local time.
This also allows players on Xbox consoles to change the timing of their system (the "New Zealand method") and play the game early. If you're on PC, you can use the following set of countdowns to keep track. This is based on the usual schedule that EA Sports follows exclusively for PC players.
The timings are based on the same system that EA Sports has been following over the last few years. We will update any changes if EA Sports decides to switch before EA FC 26's official launch.
EA FC 26 Editions
You can either go for the cheaper Standard Edition or the pricier Ultimate Edition.
Standard Edition
Ultimate Edition
EA FC 26 price
The final price of the game will be based on which edition you want. It will also vary based on whether you're going current-gen or old-gen. The current-gen version costs $69.99 for Standard and $99.99 for Digital Deluxe Edition. The old-gen version will cost $59.99 for the Standard Edition, but the Ultimate Edition costs the same at $99.99.

Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.3 drops on July 17, bringing about some technical and quality-of-life features. It is also proof that even five years later, CDPR still thinks about this game and cares enough to keep it up to date.
So, here is everything new included in Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.3 (which is probably its last one).
A car-focused patch
This time around, CDPR decided to focus a lot on the game's vehicular content, with the patch bringing four new cars to the game. These are the Rayfield Caliburn "Mordred," Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa, Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru, and Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila. These can be obtained by completing a new side job, meaning CDPR isn't done with adding proper content to this game.
You can enjoy your ride around Night City in these or any other vehicles by using the new feature called AutoDrive, with Delamain taking the wheel. While AutoDrive is active and Delamain is relatively safely driving, you can make use of the new cinematic camera, allowing you to look at Cyberpunk from a whole new angle.
Vehicle customization has also been expanded to include more cars, including bikes, allowing you to put a fresh coat of paint on your vehicle of choice.
Expanded Photo Mode for more great screenshotting
You can now spawn 27 new characters while using the Photo Mode, switch out their outfits, change V's clothes to those saved in your wardrobe, make V look at the camera (fully and just with his/her eyes turned towards it) and control the time and weather conditions.
Cyberpunk 2077's Photo Mode was already quite extensive, and these new features are just the cherry on top that'll enable you to take the best Blade Runner-inspired noir screenshots possible.
The game is moving to Mac
Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.3 will mark the moment the game moves to Apple's proprietary platform. It will include integrated technologies that CDPR and Apple developed in collaboration, making the Cyberpunk 2077 experience on Mac as good as it can possibly be.
Mac users have often been left out of the gaming conversation, but this move could perhaps mark the start of something new, especially given Apple's speedy advancement of its proprietary chips and graphical technologies.
If you are unsure if your Mac can run the game, check out this official guide.
A lot of bug fixing and miscellaneous changes
As with any patch, especially for games as buggy and unpolished as Cyberpunk 2077, any given patch includes a bunch of bug fixes. These relate to potentially broken missions, main story quests, characters, graphics, and a whole lot more, and will hopefully make the game more pleasant overall.
FSR 4 is finally officially coming to the game as well, which should prove a major improvement for AMD users, particularly those sporting new RDNA 4 graphics cards.
Update 2.3 drops on July 17 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, with the Switch 2 version to come at a later date.
To see absolutely everything included in Update 2.3, check out CDPR's own breakdown here.

The Nature's Calling event tasks you with performing many kinds of odd and tricky tasks in The Sims 4. One such task asks you to make and use the Wooden Throne, an item you likely aren't familiar with.
If you want to finish the final week of quests in this event, acquiring this item is a must, but the quest objectives don't tell you much about what this object is or how to obtain it. The process also requires quite a bit of work before you can actually tackle the main goal, so here's how to craft the Wooden Throne in The Sims 4.
Table of contents
What is the Wooden Throne in The Sims 4?
The Wooden Throne is an outhouse in The Sims 4. There are some other outdoor bathrooms you can find around the world, but the Wooden Throne is the only actual outhouse in the entire game. It acts like a normal toilet, which means your Sim can use it to go to the bathroom.
How to get the Wooden Throne in The Sims 4
The Wooden Throne cannot be bought from Build/Buy mode like most other items and instead must be crafted using a woodworking table. It's a tough item to make because your Sim needs to have level 10 Handiness, which is the maximum level they can reach.
How to make the Wooden Throne in The Sims 4
You can craft the Wooden Throne by selecting the option to do so under the "Craft furniture" category at any woodworking table. There are a few complex steps in this process, though, so here's a full breakdown of how to get it done.
How to use the Wooden Throne in The Sims 4
Once you've crafted a Wooden Throne, place it down anywhere on your home lot, click on it, and select the "Use bathroom" option. Interacting with this item after you craft it is one of the last tasks you need to get done for week four in this event.

After quite a bit of anticipation, we finally know who will play Zelda and Link in the upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie. While many expected Hollywood stars, the pair of actors are actually pretty young and up-and-coming artists who will undoubtedly make a name for themselves with these roles.
So, here is everything you need to know about Bo Bragason (Zelda) and Evan Ainsworth (Link).
Who is Bo Bragason (Zelda)?
An English actress, Bo Bragason is the older of the two, born in 2004. She has a fair bit of acting experience behind her, including various television and film roles, most notably in the 2021 critically-acclaimed horror flick, Censor.
She also appeared in several BBC and Disney+ series, making her probably familiar with younger audiences, which should significantly boost the appeal of The Legend of Zelda to them.
However, what makes her particularly good for a video game adaptation role is her experience providing motion capture acting in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, an animated film adaptation of Final Fantasy XV developed by Square Enix's in-house CGI studio.
Though it has been a while since this role (nine years to be exact) it does give Bragason a lot of useful experience in how video games are transformed into films, which is bound to reflect in how she portrays the titular character in The Legend of Zelda.
Who is Evan Ainsworth (Link)?
Born Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, this English actor is a few years younger than his royal in-universe counterpart, born on Sept. 25, 2008. Like Bragason, he also has experience playing in a Disney show, making him a recognizable face among younger audiences. Other than that, he also has some horror experience, most notably in The Haunting of Bly Manor an anthological sequel to The Haunting of Hill House, produced by Netflix.
Evans also provided voice work for the titular character in Disney's live-action Pinocchio, while his performance in Son of a Critch netted him award nominations at the Canadian Screen Awards.
While only 16 at the time of writing, Evans has proven himself a capable actor who will likely add a lot of depth to the otherwise silent protagonist of The Legend of Zelda, Link.

Another free event is hitting Call of Duty soon, and this one looks like the best in Black Ops 6 thus far.
The CODtoons event in BO6 and Warzone features an animated weapon camo, which was commonplace in Modern Warfare III but scarce in BO6. To unlock it for free, players must complete a set of challenges in either BO6 multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone.
Here's everything to expect from the American Dad-themed CODtoons event in BO6 and Warzone.
All challenges and rewards in BO6 CODtoons
To unlock the rewards, players can complete any of the listed challenges for each item in the mode of their choosing. Here's what you can get and how to do it, courtesy of dataminer @realityuk_:
This pistol sports an American Dad design and the following attachments:
Mastery Reward: Speed Lines animated camo
Unlock all previous rewards to gain access to the animated weapon camo Speed Lines, which also has a variant for those who own the BlackCell battle pass, so those who have invested the extra cash will get a second, exclusive camo.

College Football 26's coaches come with different Archetypes, and making the correct choice will increase your chances of success in Dynasty Mode.
Archetypes were one of my favorite concepts from last year's game. Instead of feeling generic, the backstories added personalities to your coach. Moreover, these weren't just cosmetic gimmicks; instead, your coach's backstory came with its own set of pros and cons. Let's take a look at what the best possible choice is for your Dynasty.
Table of contents
All College Football 26 Coach Archetypes
Like last year, there are three different base Archetypes, aka Coach Backstory. Here's what they read like based on their official in-game descriptions.
Which is the best College Football 26 Coach Archetype?
All three Archetypes are pretty good, but one of them has more uses: the Recruiter Archetype. This Archetype allows you to get quicker at scouting, which enables you to uncover the hidden gems faster than your competitors. This will allow you to improve your roster more easily, making the road to a championship shorter.
Not every team in Dynasty Mode is elite. In fact, there are way more 2-star and 3-star rated schools than 4-star and 5-star. Even schools rated at 4-star can be a hard challenge if you play on higher in-game difficulties. Unless you're starting with a fully stacked school, chances are that you'll need to improve your roster pretty fast.
With new Dealbreakers implemented in College Football 26, recruitment is undoubtedly more complex than what it used to be. Therefore it's better to go with the Recruiter Archetype. Motivator is a good choice if you've picked an elite school program. Tactician primarily works well with squads that might not be elite, but aren't too far from that position. The boost to ratings on gamedays will allow your athletes to perform over their potential, and get some unlikely wins on route to a championship.

Destiny 2's The Edge of Fate kicked off with a set of seasonal challenges, and one of them sends you looking for data pads scattered around three maps in the new Solo Ops playlist.
The Solo Ops Data Pad Search challenge seems to kickstart a set of objectives in the new playlist, with other secrets hidden in Empire Hunts, Strikes, and Exotic missions as part of the seasonal challenges. Here's how you can complete the first objective on this list.
All Solo Ops Data Pad Search Part One locations in Destiny 2
Three locations are required to complete the Solo Ops Data Pad Search Part One challenge:
More of those scavenger hunt-esque objectives will likely appear in the following weeks, taking players through other locations in the playlist.
The data pads spawn even in the lowest difficulties, in our experience, so don't worry about buffing your enemies to complete this seasonal objective. Here's where you can find each of them.
Skywatch Solo Ops Data Pad location
The data pad in Skywatch is hard to miss. Progress through the mission until your screen shows you're entering Skywatch, then just to your left to find this data pad on top of a barrel.
The Salt Mines Solo Ops Data Pad location
The data pad in the Salt Mines appears in one of the last areas in this Solo Op, after you've cleared two Taken Anchors. As you're on your way to the third and final Taken Anchor, you'll encounter a drop in one of the EDZ's rocky areas. The data pad is on top of a rusted crate, almost in front of you.
Kepler Solo Ops data pad location
The data pad in the Kepler Solo Ops appeared after we sabotaged the Fallen depots as part of the main objective. This led us to a cave with some derelict constructions. The data pad is to your right as soon as you enter the area and see the terrain change, just opposite a ruined building.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate's new location Kepler is full of secrets and discoveries to be made, including an all-new race of humans known as Aionians.
There are several red chests around Kepler that you cannot open right away and require certain abilities so that you can reap the rewards within. Some are tied to Matterspark, others are tied to the Rosetta ability that lets you decipher the language of the Aionians, and others are tied to the Relocator ability.
Another type of chest, though, says it "requires undiscovered technology." This technology is known as Mattermorph, and it's just another that you need to be able to explore and discover all that Kepler has to offer.
Here's how to get Mattermorph, one of the new destination abilities on Kepler in The Edge of Fate.
How to unlock Mattermorph in Destiny 2 Edge of Fate
Mattermorph is unlocked during the campaign of The Edge of Fate, specifically at step 19 of 31 in the main quest line. It can be unlocked during the The Outer Steppes Strangelet quest, in the mission named Morphology.
Mattermorph basically allows the Guardian to shape pre-selected parts of the environment to create new pathways and reach previously unreachable areas. It also allows you to unlock Mattermorph chests, which are red chests that have the weird, gross, bulbous growths on them.
The game describes this as "bending matter into new positions" but really, you're just picking stuff up to manipulate them for your benefit. At times, it's reminiscent of building ramps in Fortnite, but there are several applications to be used.
You can pick up Mattermorph and then use it on nearby areas of the environment that have a light white glow to them and reach new areas or find secrets.

The Minecraft Movie has quite a lot of iconic moments, but by far one of the most memorable ones is Jack Black's ridiculously catchy "Steve's Lava Chicken" song. If you've ever wanted to have this tune playing in your home, now you can, thanks to the Lava Chicken music disc.
Music discs are some of the toughest items to acquire in Minecraft since each one has its own special unlocking process. This is one of the trickier ones to get, but it's much easier once you know what's required, so here's how to get the Lava Chicken music disc in Minecraft.
Table of contents
How to get Steve's Lava Chicken music disc in Minecraft
The Lava Chicken music disc drops when you kill a Chicken Jockey in Minecraft. This is a reference to one of the most iconic scenes from A Minecraft Movie, which is when Jack Black's character Steve warns Jason Momoa's character Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison that a Chicken Jocket is coming towards him. It's less about what he says, as the quote is simply "Chicken Jockey!," and more about the way he says it.
To acquire this item, make sure you kill the Baby Zombie that's riding the Chicken rather than the Chicken itself. Killing the Chicken first changes the Baby Zombie into a regular mob rather than a Chicken Jockey, so you must target the rider rather than the mount if you want to earn this item.
Some items have multiple ways you can earn them, but this isn't one of them. Finding and eliminating a Chicken Jockey is the only way to get this item, so if you want to add this disc to your collection, you need to get to work tracking one down.
How to find a Chicken Jockey in Minecraft
Chicken Jockeys can randomly be found around the world in Minecraft. Like most other mobs, there's not really any way to make finding them easier. Instead, you just have to explore and hope you come across one.
If you're not having any luck finding a naturally spawned Chicken Jockey, you can also cheat to summon one. Open the chat box and use the following commands to force one to spawn near you.
What does the Lava Chicken music disc sound like in Minecraft?
The Lava Chicken music disc is essentially a music-only extended version of the "Steve's Lava Chicken" song Jack Black sings in A Minecraft Movie. Since A Minecraft Movie isn't a musical, the original song is only about 50 seconds long. In Minecraft, about the first 50 seconds are the beat he sings to, then the rest of the disc essentially extends upon the base of this song.

Finding the best pet in Pet Tower Defense largely depends on which stage of the game you're in. For example a base version Electro Dragon is better than a Golem early until you get the King Trait on the Golem for an extra placement and suddenly the Golem is stronger. Also note that you're always rolling for all units, the banners just increase the chances for featured units. Lets analyze all units and find the best pets in our Pet Tower Defense tier list.
Table of contents
All Pets in Pet Tower Defense Ranked
I'll be assuming Level 50 for all unit rankings as well as both progression and tournament performance. With this in mind some units will be better for progression since they're faster/cheaper to place while others are better for the Tournament since they're slower but stronger long-term. Either way, the best units in Pet Tower Defense are in S and A-Tiers but you can read more about each unit below.
S-Tier Pets
A-Tier Pets
B-Tier Pets
C-Tier Pets
D-Tier Pets
That's it for my Pet Tower Defense tier list and guide. Check out our Pet Tower Defense codes for free goodies as we constantly update them with new ones.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate is a new direction for the looter shooter game, in more ways than one.
The 2025 expansion for Bungie's FPS brings the fight to a new location called Kepler with a new NPC named Lodi, and it seems to deal with weird space-and-time travel and The Nine. But that's not all that's different.
Upon booting up the DLC for the first time, players quickly noticed that Warlock Vanguard and Destiny 2 mainstay Ikora Rey sounds a lot different this time around, sparking speculation about whether or not the actress behind the character was recast.
Here's everything we know so far about Ikora's voice actress in Destiny 2.
Does Ikora Rey have a new voice actor in Edge of Fate?
Yes, Ikora Rey's voice actor is no longer Mara Junot in The Edge of Fate. Junot has played Ikora Rey in Destiny 2 since 2021, when she took over for the character's original actress, Gina Torres. It appears that a casting change has happened once again.
Several voice overs in Destiny 2 have been changed or missing entirely thanks to the recent 2024-2025 SAG-AFTRA strike. Mara Junot recently posted on her Twitter/X account celebrating that the strike had come to an end, but Ikora's voicelines were likely recorded months ago, so it appears that Wilson took up the mantle in the meantime.
However, there is good news. Now that the strike is over, Junot and other Destiny 2 voice actors will be returning as their voice lines will be patched into the game in a future update.
Who is Ikora's new voice actor in Destiny 2 Edge of Fate?
While unconfirmed, it sounds a lot like Ikora's new actress is Debra Wilson. Wilson is well known for her performances on MadTV but also in video games, including as Prava in Diablo IV, Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Doctor in Death Stranding 2, but most players will recognize her voice as the same actress for Savathûn in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen.

Nintendo has officially revealed the two actors who will be playing both Link and Zelda in its live-action The Legend of Zelda movie, as if out of nowhere, and both actors are relative unknowns for such a big title.
The actress Bo Bragason will be playing Zelda, while the character Link will be played by Benjamin Ainsworth. Bo is best known for her roles on Renegade Neil and the recent TV series King and Conqueror, while Benjamin has appeared as the voice of Pinocchio in Disney's 2022 live-action remake, as well as appearing in the TV show Son of a Critch.
But it is Bo Bragason who, surprisingly, has some minor experience working in video games already. She did 3D scan model work for Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV back in 2016 as Young Luna, according to her IMDb page.
Outside of these two cast announcements, most of the other information surrounding the project is unknown. Though we do now have a release date for the movie of May 7, 2027. More details on the cast will likely appear over time, but looking at social media, both picks have been well received by the Nintendo community, and they look forward to more details appearing over time.
Most of the story is also unconfirmed, though with the release date being so far away, we don't expect to get some initial teaser trailer until late next year, when most of the filming has likely been completed. There are also other gaming movies to look forward to from Nintendo as well, with a sequel to the Super Mario Bros. movie in the pipeline, and a Donkey Kong movie reportedly in the works from Universal, too.
What do you think of the casting? Let us know in the comments down below as well as your picks for who you'd like to see attached to other characters from the series, like Impa and Ganondorf.

Many quests you'll come across in Fortnite are scavenger hunts that send you all around the vast island. One of the trickier ones you'll encounter asks you to set up scanners to form a warning perimeter.
This is a tough task to get done since there are quite a few spots you need to visit and a lot of traveling you must do to find them. Although this one can be a bit difficult to navigate, the XP you get for finishing it is worth the effort, so here's how to set up scanners to form a warning perimeter in Fortnite.
Set up scanners to form a warning perimeter in Fortnite
To set up scanners to form a warning perimeter during The Fall of Supernova Academy quests, you need to visit five locations around the island and place a scanner at each one. All of the spots you need to visit are situated around the center of the island in a circular formation, so traveling around to all of them takes quite a bit of time.
It's fairly tough to get this task done in just one round, even if you start with it right away. Luckily, your progress is saved between rounds, so you can work on this quest as many times as it takes to travel to all of the required locations.
At each location, look for the white diamond icon and a sparkling outline of a scanner to find the right spot to set the equipment up. Approach this spot and interact with it to place a scanner, then set out to the next spot to progress through this quest. The toughest part about this task is finding the right spots to place the scanners since they're all fairly random and very spread out across the map.
All scanners for warning perimeter locations in Fortnite
There are five spots you need to visit around the island to set up scanners to form a warning perimeter. You can visit these locations in any order, but all five must have a scanner placed before you can progress to the next quest in this series. All of the locations you need to venture to are as follows.
If you're hoping to get this task done in just one match, heading to one of these five spots straight from the battle bus is crucial. After placing your first scanner, work your way around the island in a circle, hitting each location along the way, to get all five scanners down as fast as possible. It's a good idea to grab a car or a useful traversal item like the Surf Cube or Bass Boost to make getting around quickly an easier task.
There are plenty of other tasks to tackle around the island once you're done with this one. If you're not sure what to do next, you might want to become Superman, hit hero practice targets at different hero training outposts, and assemble surveillance gear at Demon's Domain.

Reviews for Donkey Kong Bananza are rolling in now, and it looks like Nintendo has another winner for its vast library and is one of the must-have titles to have as a Switch 2 owner.
It's currently received positive reviews across all critique sites, with it sitting in the 90s on Metacritic, making it one of Nintendo's rated games and potentially a Game of the Year contender, but that doesn't mean it is flawless.
But what are the critics saying about it? Well, let's give you a quick run-down.
We at Destructoid absolutely loved the game, but felt it still had some small pet peeves that denied it a perfect score. It has hours of gameplay, a vast post-game, and a lot more things to enjoy. Consider picking it up!
As for our friends over at Siliconera, they agreed that the game was a wild ride, even with some performance issues chugging it along.
IGN is equally singing the game's praises with a perfect score, highlighting it as a groundbreaking 3D platformer.
There is more good news from Nintendolife, who continue the trend of positivity, saying there's a wonderful variety and a sense of adventure, but it does have its odd performance hiccup.
As for VGC, the team feels like it falls short of Odyssey, but is still a satisfying platformer to get behind.
And lastly, from Eurogamer, who had one of the lower scores at 80, the team praised the interaction between the characters but felt like it occasionally gets a bit lost.
Outside of critics, though, we'd love to hear your thoughts below on what you thought of the game when you have a chance to play it. Let us know in the comments below if you had a blast or any issues.
