Stalcraft X, the survival MMO that began life as a Minecraft nod, can be unsettling at the best of times. It's essentially a blocky Stalker, set in a wasteland where there's no real law, but there are plenty of flesh-shredding anomalies and hungry mutants. Even without those hazards, there's the risk of hypothermia and other environmental hazards. Now, developer Exbo is teasing a new update which promises to dial its fear factor up to 11.

Myst has a special place in the heart of many an adventure fan, sequel included. And now, Neyyah, a new pre-rendered sci-fi adventure published by Microprose (yes, that Microprose) is picking up Myst's torch. With puzzles, pre-rendered locations and full-motion video aplenty, it resembles a gorgeous, if completely unofficial, follow-up to Myst. And, even better, it's out now on Steam.

I've been a fan of Borderlands for as long as I can remember, powering through Pandora back when the first game released in 2009. While I enjoyed Borderlands 2 for its chaotic gameplay and hilarious narrative, I didn't think anything was going to quite capture that same special feeling I got from the original. Then Tiny Tina's Wonderlands came along and I realised I could love again. Sadly, despite it being one of the greatest in the series, it's a sorely underrated game and one not nearly enough people have played. So with Borderlands 4 on the horizon, now would be a good time to play, especially when you can get it at a huge discount from Humble Bundle.

umamusume kfc

KFC in Japan will re-run its Umamusume: Pretty Derby promotion, though it's limited to online orders. The campaign will run from September 9 to September 29, 2025.

This year, you can play KFC Sanpo (literally "KFC Walk") any time in the game. During KFC Walk, you and your Umamusume can order KFC, pick up the order, and eat fried chicken together. If you're in Japan, you can order the limited edition "Will You Go on a Walk With Your Umamusume Today? Pack," which comes with two pieces of original fried chicken, a biscuit, and a serial code. You can use this serial code to receive KFC food items in-game, which you can use to restore TP and RP. The pack costs 1000 JPY ($6.75) if you pick it up, or 1240 JPY ($8.35) if you order delivery.

In Japan, you can also put your name into a lottery to receive re-run goods of the KFC collaboration. There are three options: an acrylic diorama, trading cards, and a rechargeable KFC gift card with Umamusume all over it. During the campaign, you can also choose a collaboration design for the KFC app. This will have the characters pop up to say little blurbs while you're scrolling through it.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is readily available on Windows PC and mobile devices. The KFC campaign is Japan exclusive. Global players can check out the September 2025 schedule here. We'll get new trainees like Seiun Sky, as well as the Gemini Cup PvP event.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Switch 2 Upgrade Pack Is Free

Team Cherry shared another Hollow Knight: Silksong update on its Kickstarter page, and it confirmed there will be a free Switch 2 upgrade pack for the game. This will be available for everyone who gets the Switch version of the game. However, its notice said that backers who choose that option will get a Switch code and need to grab the free patch for the new console's update. 

The announcement noted that the Hollow Knight: Silksong Upgrade Pack for the Switch 2 will be in the eShop at launch.  It also mentioned "enhanced features" will be available if someone gets that patch. However, it didn't explain how it will differ from the standard Switch release. 

In addition to the confirmation about an upgrade pack, Team Cherry did go over exact release times and costs for the game on social media. On September 4, 2025, it will be on digital storefronts at 7am PT/10am ET/4pm CET/11pm JST. It will cost $19.99/€19.99/¥2,300, so the price is about the same everywhere. That's also when it will be on Xbox Game Pass, for those who subscribe to it.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on September 4, 2025, and it will also be on Xbox Game Pass on launch day.

Path of Exile 2: a female warrior with magical powers throws out some flaming skulls as the world burns behind her.

The history of Premium tabs in Path of Exile 2 is closed, as GGG has replaced the stashes with Merchant tabs.

While it might first appear to be confusing for beginners, the new stashes are like-for-like replacements. You can once again rely on microtransactions to get more tabs for your in-game grind. That said, you're also guaranteed these new stashes if you owned Premium tabs in the older version of the game.

How to get Merchant tabs in Path of Exile 2?

There are two ways to get Merchant tabs in Path of Exile 2.

  • Buy them directly from the in-game store: This method uses the microtransaction features inside the game. You can purchase one for 40 points, which costs $4. If you're getting a bundle of six, it's going to cost you 200 points ($20).
  • Convert the Premium tabs using the website: If you purchased any Premium tabs directly using microtransactions, you can convert them to Merchant tabs.

How to convert Premium tabs to Merchant tabs in Path of Exile 2?

Remember that only Premium tabs purchased with real-life money before the third major update can be converted into Merchant tabs.

  • Go to the official website and ensure that your game is linked.
  • Once logged in, click on your name in the top-right part of the screen. Then, go to My Account.
  • Open Merchant's Tab Upgrade.
  • You'll find all eligible tabs under Current Tab Allocations.
  • Select Upgrade to a Merchant's tab, and your Premium tabs will now become the Merchants tab.

If you had any items in your Premium tabs, don't worry. They will neither be listed on the website nor be destroyed. Once you take them out of the tab, it will disappear, and you can then store them in the Merchant tabs.

How to use Merchant tabs in Path of Exile 2?

Once you have completed the Hostile Takeover quest and unlocked Ange as a Merchant NPC, place any item that you want to sell in the tab. Select a price you want to sell it for using the drop-down menu. This will automatically list the items on the trading website. Once the sales are complete, you can retrieve the profits that were entitled to you.
