PCGamesN Thursday, August 21, 2025 7:54 AM With Diablo 4's latest season still a month away, you might be on the hunt for a new ARPG to try, and Last Epoch Season 3 is here to answer the call. While it's about to have some serious competition from Path of Exile 2's next update, Eleventh Hour Games has brought some big improvements to the table in Beneath Ancient Skies. With a new story chapter, an evolving enemy threat, major class reworks, and improvements to many of the core systems that make it a personal favorite, it's a great point to start playing.

PCGamesN Thursday, August 21, 2025 7:39 AM Survival MMO Dune Awakening has been going through it as of late, but developer Funcom is doing its best to fight fires while building on its big Arrakean adventure. After recently unveiling an expansive new content roadmap that takes us well into next year, the studio has delved deeper into what we can expect from its upcoming second narrative chapter and Lost Harvest DLC when they arrive next month.

PCGamesN Thursday, August 21, 2025 7:18 AM Battlefield was once a bastion of the FPS genre. Its gritty miltary action and great gunplay put it head and shoulders above most of the competition. However, that fortune has fallen in recent years. Battlefield 2042 in particular felt like the series' nadir, as it launched light on content and heavy on frustrations. However, the recent Battlefield 6 open beta has drawn players back in. It's more reminiscent of the classic games, a return to form of sorts. And it's even had the knock-on effect of getting folks back on board with Battlefield 2042. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Battlefield 6 preview, Battlefield 6 release date, Best Battlefield 6 weapons |

PCGamesN Thursday, August 21, 2025 6:51 AM Lords of the Fallen 2023 didn't have the strongest start. Even its own developers will admit that. David Valjalo, creative portfolio strategist at CI Games, told us at Gamescom that its launch was "rocky" with "some technical hiccups," but he assures us that the team has learned from the experience. "We've gone above and beyond in delivering on what we initially promised," he says. The game has received over 50 patches since launch, culminating in version 2.0, which released this summer. However, CI Games wants to get out of the blocks quicker with Lords of the Fallen 2. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best RPG games on PC, Best action-adventure games on PC |
PCGamesN Thursday, August 21, 2025 7:20 AM To call new space FPS Jump Space highly anticipated would be selling it short. Formerly known as Jump Ship, Keepsake Games' planet-hopping shooter boasts more than a million Steam wishlists following its hugely popular Next Fest demo. With seamless transition between on-foot action and interstellar cruising reminiscent of No Man's Sky, it promises to deliver a frantic co-op experience that's ideal for your Helldivers 2 or Deep Rock Galactic crew.

PCGamesN Thursday, August 21, 2025 6:30 AM Someone at AMD is going to be getting a dressing down, as the AMD FSR 4 source code has just been inadvertently posted on Github, and then swiftly deleted. Not only has this slip-up potentially given competitors such as Nvidia the chance to peer at the inner workings of AMD's new upscaling tech, but it's also revealed the presence of files that could enable you to run FSR 4 on older AMD Radeon GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture, such as the Radeon RX 7800 XT. I'm a big fan of AMD FSR 4, which I tested for my AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review. Unlike previous versions of FSR, it uses AMD's AI cores, and the difference is night and day for game graphics. The previous problems with blurriness and horrible digital noise around fast movement are gone, and the result is much sharper graphics in games, with a big boost in frame rates compared to not using FSR at all. This new tech helped propel several of AMD's latest GPUs onto our best graphics card buying guide, and AMD has also previously told us that there's no technical reason why you couldn't run FSR 4 on Nvidia GPUs using the Tensor cores.

PCGamesN Thursday, August 21, 2025 4:19 AM August 21, 2025: The GTA 6 release date is still on track following Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick's appearance on CNBC's Money Movers. When is GTA 6 coming out? Given how many years it takes to create open worlds of the same caliber as GTA 5, it's no surprise that Rockstar Games has already spent years developing GTA 6. Rockstar prefers to keep its secrets close to its chest until close to the end of development, but Take-Two has now confirmed when exactly we can expect it to arrive. The Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has certainly been a long time coming. Early gameplay leaks of GTA 6 surfaced online last year, along with lines of source code and development footage for the open-world game. There have been plenty of rumors and speculation surrounding the release date since then, but we finally have confirmation of the GTA 6 release date, story, and setting. Here's all the latest on GTA 6, including trailers and news, right here on PCGamesN.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, August 21, 2025 6:38 AM  Oi oi, where my Janeway fans at? Where my Parisians and my Torresians? Can I get a whoop, whoop for Chakotay? A high five for Seven of Nine? Daedalic have announced Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown, a "story-based survival strategy game" adaptation of the loneliest of the classic Treks. Created by developers gameXcite, who I may yet forgive for capitalising their name that way, it asks you to "manage systems and crew, engage in diplomacy, navigate difficult moral decisions, and face the unknown". It's got a cutaway dollhouse spaceship and a HUD made up to resemble a Star Trek bridge display. Also, Ensign Harry Kim is here! He wants orders. Kim, your orders are to roll that trailer. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, August 21, 2025 5:29 AM  You really have to hand it to the publishers of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. They are the absolute masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the doyens of stepping on rakes, even as they near the checkered flag. The long-awaited RPG got a new trailer and what may actually prove to be the final release date at Gamescom Opening Night Live this week. The trailer was a feisty show of Dishonored-esque mayhem, and the hands-on verdicts I've read (save for stinky uncle Eurogamer) have been positive. Ours is forthcoming. But then came the revelation that this much-delayed sequel to a quintessentially faction-led RPG from a company famous for downloadable add-ons would sell two of its vampire clans as day-one DLC. How we laughed! How we clutched our faces and chittered like gerbils! How we ran outside, begging for the moon to fall on our heads! Despair springs anew. |

Now that Joy is an official villager in Disney Dreamlight Valley, she's looking for ways to inspire happiness around the valley. One of her key tasks is to start up a game for you and some villagers to play in the Capture the Sun quest.
You've never played Capture the Sun before, so navigating through this quest can be a bit tricky. It's an essential one to get done if you're trying to build your friendship with Joy, though, so here's a complete walkthrough for the Capture the Sun quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Table of contents
How to complete Capture the Sun in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To complete the Capture the Sun quest, you need to find a spot to set up, rally some villagers who are willing to play, craft the required resources, and play the game. There's a lot to this one, so here's a full breakdown of all the key steps you need to tackle.
Find the best spot for a game of Capture the Sun
First, you need to scour around the vast valley to find some potential spots to set up. There are three locations you must check out, including:
At all of these locations, make sure you're quite close to the correct area when taking the pictures. It took me quite a few tries to get them to count, and each one only worked when I was super close to the specified region.
After snapping a picture at all three locations, find Joy to discuss which one you like best. Regardless of which one you recommend, Joy decided the Dream Castle works best for this project and sends you on your way to complete another essential step next.
Recruit players for the game of Capture the Sun
You need some characters willing to play to make a game of Capture the Sun happen, so your next task is to find and chat with four villagers. The characters you need to interact with are:
After convincing all four villagers to participate, return to Joy to share your progress. After chatting with her, you'll also get your next goal so you can get one step closer to playing the game.
Craft Flag Poles
Next up, you need to make five Flag Poles that can be used for the game of Capture the Sun. Head to any crafting station around your valley and switch over to the Functional Items tab to get to work making these items. Crafting the Flag Poles requires:
Once you have the Flag Poles made, find Joy again to pass them over. It's finally time for the game to begin, so head back inside Dream Castle to get things started. Just before it begins, you need to snap a picture with all the participants, so equip your Phone to do so. Chat with Joy right after to finally start the game.
Grab three Floating Suns and bring them to your own Flag Pole
The Capture the Sun game is officially on, and to win it, you need to grab three Floating Suns from around Dream Castle and bring them back to your Flag Pole. The suns are flying around all the levels and can be caught by running after them and interacting as soon as you're close to one.
Your Flag Pole is the one right in the middle on the bottom level. To make catching the suns easier, it's best to consume some food so you can fly or glide around much faster. Once you have three suns and place them at your Flag Pole, chat with Joy about how the game went.
You won, so Joy grants you a special prize. Unfortunately, the item she gives you isn't what she intended, and is a strange Plush Bear head. Chat with her about this odd reward, and she'll say she has no idea how this happened.
This is part of a larger mystery that spans across her quests and Sadness's quests, so you have to keep progressing to learn more. Work through all the quests Joy and Sadness give you to figure out where this bear came from. For now, though, the Capture the Sun quest is complete. Be sure to visit your mailbox sometime after finishing it to claim your real prize, which is a small Floating Sun decoration.

Fullbrings feel a bit incomplete and there's not as many options yet as with the other races but we can still outline the best Fullbrings in Type Soul. Some just have really strong moves like Zangetsu's Chizuki and Time Tells No Lies' Twin Souls mode. I'll be taking a look at all moves to find the best modes in this Type Soul Fullbring tier list and guide.

Type Soul Fullbring and Twin Souls Tier List
This Type Soul Fullbring tier list will take a look at both the base moveset and the Twin Souls mode to find the best Fullbrings. I'll also take into account the M1s and crits since each Fullbring has a unique weapon. There's still no True modes like with the other races and no shade but the Fullbrings definitely feel a bit incomplete and there's just not as much variety yet. That said, let's dive into each Fullbring individually below to analyze its moveset and combos.
S-Tier Fullbrings
A-Tier Fullbrings
B-Tier Fullbrings
C-Tier Fullbrings
That's it for my Type Soul Fullbring and Twin Souls tier list and guide. Last but not least, check out the best Fullbringer clans for your build and our Type Soul codes for free goodies.
