PCGamesN Tuesday, July 8, 2025 9:48 AM It looks as though AMD is prepping a new budget gaming GPU that will be cheaper than $299, undercutting the existing Radeon RX 9060 XT. The new AMD Radeon RX 9060, without an XT suffix, has just appeared in the release notes for the latest version of AIDA64, a diagnostics and monitoring software package for PC hardware, suggesting that AMD is planning a new release to counter the recently announced Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050. While the Radeon RX 9060 XT is now the top recommendation for a budget gaming GPU on our guide to buying the best graphics card, AMD currently doesn't have an offering to counter the new $249 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050. Given the strong performance of the 9060 XT compared to the RTX 5060, AMD has the potential to cook up a killer product here if it can beat the RTX 5050 for the same price.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 8, 2025 9:44 AM When is the next Escape from Tarkov server wipe? We all know that the main aim in Escape from Tarkov isn't to rack up a high body count - it's the loot. The glorious mountains of weapons and equipment you can stockpile after several months' worth of grinding. The only issue, then, is when the Tarkov servers get wiped and you have to start again, but when do these wipes occur, and is there one planned soon? The tense FPS game is all about getting in and out as efficiently as you can, and staying alive also means that you keep whatever swag you managed to pilfer during your time in the world. Increasing the quality of your gear means you're much more likely to stay alive during your next run, and the run after that, and so on. Every once in a while, though, the servers undergo a complete EFT wipe, putting all players back to square, and level, one, but when is the next Escape from Tarkov server wipe?

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 8, 2025 7:12 AM As one of many viral indie hits of the last decade, Lethal Company still has over 6,000 daily players, meaning its popularity is far from over.

Thankfully, the devs have given the community the green light to create mods for the simulation game, opening up a world of possibilities.

Since it first arrived via Steam Early Access in August 2024, Gentlymad's survival and strategy hybrid has been through dozens of transformative changes. In some cases, like the more threatening radiation zones, sandstorms, and viral outbreaks introduced in the Dangers and Progression update, the game has gotten tougher than its predecessor. Other changes, like a revised UI and rebalancing passes, have made it more welcoming to newcomers. Now, as shared exclusively with PCGamesN, Endzone 2 is about to hit its biggest milestone yet.

It's called Everest, and it fills your game with other players' dead bodies. Well, skeletons to be exact, and possibly over 10,000 of them by the sounds of it. That's more bones that you'll find at Crufts, and it looks to turn the co-op climbing game from Another Crab's Treasure devs Aggro Crab and Content Warning devs Landfall into the sort of morbid fun you can usually only have by chucking a frisbee around the garden of a crematorium. No, I haven't done that last bit. Yet. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, July 8, 2025 5:11 AM  Presumably because it's so expensive to push Leonardo DiCaprio around in a rented gondola, this year's Amazon Prime Day has brushed away its final lingering shreds of respect for the singular word "Day," and in fact runs from this morning – July 8th – all the way to July 11th. At this current rate of expansion, it will therefore be just seven short years before the entire solar calendar is engulfed, with even hours being replaced as a unit of measurement by the duration of Lightning Deals. "Want to get an Amazon Fresh Refrigerated Beverage after our deals writing shift, Dave?" "Yeah sure, I clock off in three Lightning Deals' time." My small act of civil resistance against this temporally disrespectful future is to uh, have unknowingly booked three of the four days off before Amazon announced the dates. But while I'm here, I'm still on cog-in-machine duty, which is why I'm now informing you that a couple of (actually good) Samsung NVMe SSDs are going cheap. They are. I'm sorry. |

Atlus revealed that Cerevo has renewed the official webpage for its Persona 3 Reload SEES Evoker replica gun. The two companies also announced that they will hold a physical promotion event for the product in Japan on July 12-13, 2025.
The event will take place on the 6th floor of Volks Akihabara Hobby Paradise 2. It will allow people to get a hands-on trial of the gun replica toy before making a purchase.
As a refresher, this replica has been available for purchase in Japan since March 2025. It costs ¥110,000, which is around $750 based on the exchange rate in early July 2025. The toy gun will play various sound effects and voices from the game when its trigger is pulled.
The renewed webpage is available in not only Japanese but also English. The latter has exclusive fine print stating that Atlus and Cerevo are working to make the replica available internationally, but with North America excepted.
The Persona 3 Reload SEES Evoker replica gun is readily available for purchase in Japan. It is based on the Persona 3 remake that Atlus had released worldwide in February 2024 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.

Phasmophobia has quite a few fun Easter eggs and references to iconic horror figures and movies scattered around the many maps you can explore. One of the bigger ones in Slenderman, and he's a tricky guy to track down.
If you haven't seen this Easter egg yet, it's a fun one to venture out to find. He's not super easy to spot, but it's much easier to find him once you know where to look. If you want to catch a glimpse of him, here's how to find Slenderman in Phasmophobia.
Table of contents
Where to find Slenderman in Phasmophobia
Slenderman can sometimes be found out in the woods around certain maps in Phasmophobia. He's not always present but does make an appearance occasionally. If you want to spot him, you need to venture to one of two unique locations.
All Slenderman locations in Phasmophobia
Slenderman only shows up at two specific maps in Phasmophobia, which include the two camp-themed maps. You only have a shot at finding him when you're outside exploring Maple Lodge Campsite and Camp Woodwind.
Around each of these maps, there are several different spots where you may find him.
Around all of these locations, Slenderman appears fairly far off in the distance in the forest. He'll never be close to you, so be sure to scan the entire forest area carefully to avoid missing him. Depending on the weather you're working with, he can blend in with the environment quite well.
How to spawn Slenderman in Phasmophobia
There is no way to force Slenderman to spawn. Whether or not he appears in each contract is entirely random. He has a random chance to spawn in all contracts you tackle on Maple Lodge Campsite and Camp Woodwind, regardless of whether you're playing the weekly challenge mode or something else, so the only way you can increase your chances of running into him is by repeatedly visiting these locations.
What does Slenderman do in Phasmophobia?
Slenderman doesn't do anything in Phasmophobia. He just stands there and stares at you for the entire round. He's a static Easter egg who is just there as a fun reference and nothing more, so you don't need to worry about him scaring or attacking you.
Once you're done finding Slenderman, you can get back to tackling the investigation. To do so, you may need to know how to record audio and video evidence, how the Sound Recorder works, and how to use the Music Box.

If you're a veteran of the powerhouse franchise, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 offers plenty of nostalgia, down to the gap-based objectives like performing a Nosegrind around the Horn in the game's second map, Canada.
While it can seem deceptively tricky, learning how to Nosegrind around the Horn is fairly simple. The first step is finding the spot in question, and the second is hitting your trick right so the game counts it as a Nosegrind. Here's how you can complete that objective.
How to find the Horn in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4
The Horn is the tall tree with a hole in the middle on the frozen side of the map. It's by the circular halfpipe encircling another, but the quickest way to get there is to turn around from where you spawn.
Drop from the first ramp, then get some distance and turn around. Speed toward the ramp and jump to a wooden ledge just across from you, then hit the brakes as soon as you touch the ground. Ollie, No Comply, and Boneless (used by pressing forward once/twice before jumping) can give you a little bit of height if you're falling short.
After jumping on the first ledge, hop to another wooden path in front of you and either grind the rail or hold the down button to break your fall. Go through the hole in the tree, then turn around and find the small rail to the left side. You must grind this rail for a few seconds and land a Nosegrind with the Around The Horn gap to complete this objective. Hit the gap, land the combo, and cross this one off your list.
How to Nosegrind the Horn in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4
To make sure you're hitting the Nosegrind, jump onto the rail using the front of your board. Usually, a simple forward + grind command works, but if you're still landing a different trick, try to hit your grind head-on.
You need to hold the Nosegrind for around three to five seconds, which isn't a lot of time. The Around The Horn gap will pop before you hit the ledge with the traffic cones, so it's easy to bag two objectives for the price of one and keep on unlocking the new tracks. Rio is waiting, after all.

College Football 26 has a range of different passing types that you can use to outwit your opposition and match to your play style.
There have been plenty of revamps to the gameplay since last year. The passing types might stay the same, but you'll need to understand all the variations first. This will allow you to select the perfect style for you. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran from College Football 25, this guide will provide you with all the required information.
How many Passing types are available in College Football 26?
College Football 26 offers four Passing types for all.
Before we dive deeper into what each style means, it's essential to understand that there's no "perfect" type. It all depends on your personal preferences and playstyle.
Placement Passing
In this style, you'll be able to control the ball movements minutely as it reaches your receivers. You'll get a small meter while making the throw to determine the power, followed by where you intend the ball to land. The rating of your player will determine how accurately they can throw the ball.
Placement and Accuracy
Placement and Accuracy is similar to the first type, but you'll have to master the additional aspect of timing your throw. A meter will appear as you attempt to throw: pull off in the green zone, and you'll make the best possible pass. Miss it, and your pass will have a high chance of being intercepted. This passing type is ideal for College Football 26 players who have plenty of hours in last year's iteration.
Classic Passing
This is the perfect choice for beginners, as it simplifies all forms of passes. Just select a receiver and press the pass button, and the game will automatically decide the rest. You don't have to choose the type of pass, time your throw, or control the power.
Revamped Passing
This is the staple form of passing in College Football 26 and offers the best balance. It's not as hard to control as Placement passing, but you can still micromanage your throws. You can also determine which passing style is the most suitable in a given scenario. You can also go for the Touch pass as an alternative for the Bullet and Lob Throws in some niche situations.
Ultimately, try out all the styles first once you start playing College Football 26. This will give you a fair idea about how to proceed, which passing type to use for your games in the future.

The Storybook Vale DLC first launched on Nov. 20, 2024, with half of the storyline and content available right away in Disney Dreamlight Valley. The other half is now releasing on July 9, 2025, with the massive The Unwritten Realms update.
This update is a bit larger than usual, since it includes half of the expansion pass content. There's a lot packed into this one, so you may want to review the patch notes for Disney Dreamlight Valley's The Unwritten Realms update to learn more about it.
Table of contents
The Unwritten Realms patch notes in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The Unwritten Realms update for DDV features the finale chapter of this DLC with an array of fresh additions like new characters, quests, critters, and much more. Here's a breakdown of all key features.
Two new villagers: Maleficent and Aurora
By far the biggest additions are the arrival of two fresh faces. Maleficent and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty are arriving in the valley as characters you can meet and befriend. Like all villagers, they come with an array of quests you can work through to get to know them better, plus some special prizes you earn along the way.
New quests
This update features lots of fresh quests for you to tackle. This includes both main storyline quests and those tied to the new characters, Maleficent and Aurora. You'll work to officially end the feud between Maleficent and Hades, venture into new locations, including the place stories go when they're forgotten, and otherwise work to save the Vale.
New items
Maleficent and Aurora bring with them lots of new items you can acquire by leveling up your friendship with them. Most of these items haven't been unveiled yet, but a bonus Dream Style for Aurora was teased, likely a blue variant of her iconic dress.
New Snippets
Some more Snippets you can find and catch using the Royal Net are being added with this update. This includes another Bird Snippet, Frog Snippet, and Demon Snippet, so three new Snippets to acquire in total.
New critters
Two new critters, the Black Pegasus and Teal Dragon, arrive in this update. It's unknown which existing biomes they'll belong to or if they'll instead appear around new areas we'll venture to. Although there are also Owls found around the Vale, it doesn't seem like we're getting another variant of this critter, too, so only the previously released variants are available to find.
New puzzles
Fresh puzzles to work through are arriving with this update. This mainly includes new Lorekeeper tales you can reorder, but the main storyline will also have some other mysterious ones you need to navigate through, likely ones that are similar to Trials.
Bug fixes
This update also features several important bug fixes you may have encountered around the Vale and the main valley. This includes not receiving the level 10 friendship reward from The Forgotten, issues with photo mode, NPCs sitting in the air, and several quest-specific issues.
We've listed all of the biggest additions and changes here, but if you want to learn a bit more about this update, you may want to review the official patch notes. While you work through everything new featured in this update, be sure to also tackle all Summer Sizzle event duties and all Adventures in Neverland Star Path tasks, since both limited events won't be around for much longer.

The very first location of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 allows you to become a bit of a public nuisance by soaking the Foreman for an additional trophy.
While the individual is minding his own business and looking after the operations at the plant, you can choose to create a bit of mischief. It's pretty easy to locate him, which is one part of the task. To complete the objective, you'll have to make him fall into the pool of water. However, you can't just grab or push him in it (no, the Doom Man character also doesn't have that privilege), and this guide will help you with the exact steps.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Soaking the Foreman explained
To find the Foreman, stick to the walls on the right of the Foundry and go down from the upper level. You'll find a ramp going up to the second floor in front of you. Take the ramp, and you'll reach the water storage.
The Foreman is standing in front of it (pretty nice positioning), but you can't push him. If you skate behind him, you'll make him stagger, and he will express his frustration. To throw him down in the water, you'll have to skate on the rails behind him.
To do so, reach the rails and jump onto them. You can perform a wide range of moves on the rails, and there's no specific one to target. As long as you're skating on the rails behind him, it's good enough. Once you do so, a crane pulley will swing, knocking the Foreman down into the water.
It's a pretty hilarious task, to say the least. As the Foreman falls into the water, he will rant at you. However, you can just complete your skate and score as high as possible to unlock the next region. There are also a couple of collectibles you can grab at the Foundry, which will add to your final score, making it easier to access new parks.
