Tomb Raider Remastered I - VI cheat codes: Full list of cheats and how to use them
From unlimited ammo to exploding Lara, here's every cheat to know about.
Tomb Raider is as tough as nails as it ever was, and as such, we don't think it the crime of the century to dabble with Tomb Raider Remastered cheat codes, and so luckily for you, we have the full list of cheats for Tomb Raider I - VI and how to use them. Whether you're replaying them or checking them out ahead of the newly announced games, the reimagining of the first game, Legacy of Atlantis, and Catalyst, Tomb Raider Remastered cheat codes can do all sorts of handy things, from giving you unlimited health to skipping levels entirely. We're also approaching the 30th anniversary of Tomb Raider, and if you want to know about all things Tomb Raider, there's a whole book! But as for those cheats, entering them isn't exactly straightforward, however, so you'll definitely need to pay attention, especially in the later games, which require you to be facing north. It varies between platforms, too, but we've got how to use Tomb Raider Remastered cheat codes down below, so read on! How to use Tomb Raider Remastered cheat codes To enter any cheat codes in Tomb Raider Remastered, you need to switch from the modern controls to the classic controls under the settings menu. Then several commands need to be input in a particular order (see below for the full list). It's worth noting that by utilising cheats in Tomb Raider Remastered, the ability to unlock trophies and achievements will be disabled. We'd suggest making a different save file if you want to take advantage of the cheats.

When is the next Fortnite live event? Zero Hour date and UK start time confirmed
As this season draws to a close, when's our next live event coming up?
The next Fortnite season is about to kick off, but first things first, we've got another live event to enjoy! Chapter 7 Season 1 kicked off the new year with a bang, but as we look towards Season 2 and the return of The Seven, there's plenty more to get excited for. Following up on the recent Story Moment, here's what we know so far about when the next Fortnite live event takes place! When is the next Fortnite live event? Date and UK start time The next Fortnite Live Event will take place on 18 March 2026. We don't know for sure what time it will launch just yet, but based on previous events, we think it will be around 7pm GMT, which corresponds to the following times in various times zones: If you're in another time zone, here's what time the event will begin for you: US West Coast (PST) – 11am US Mountain (MST) – 12pm US Central (CST) – 1pm US East Coast (EST) – 2pm Central Europe (CET) – 8pm Singapore (SGT) – 3am, 19 March Tokyo (JST) – 4am, 19 March Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 6am, 19 March New Zealand (NZDT) – 8am, 19 March View Green Video on the source website Following up on the recent Dark Voyager Story Moment, this live event will usher in the beginning of Chapter 7 Season 2. While we don't know a huge amount about how it's all set to play it, in-game info hints that it will focus on the rocket launch, the arrival of Ben Starr's the Visitor, and a clash between the Foundation and the Ice King. When was the last Fortnite live event? The most recent Fortnite live event took place on 14 March 2026, with the Dark Voyager Story Moment. This live event saw the reintroduction of The Seven, with the Dark Voyager charging the Zero Point to open three Rift Gates. How to join a Fortnite live event To experience the next Fortnite live event, it's best to join a game of Battle Royale before the event is due to begin to experience it in its entirety. In preparation for events, Epic often takes down Fortnite experiences (like creator mode) until the event's conclusion as it begins to work on implementing the update. We suspect it will play out much the same way for the next live event, though we'd recommend logging on at least a couple of hours early if you are serious about attending it. As the most popular game in the world, Fortnite commonly receives huge queues as players attempt to sign on to Epic's servers, so whatever you do, always sign on early to not miss out. Fortnite is available via the Epic Games Store across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Best Fallout 4 mods: How to get multiplayer mod and more
It wouldn't be a Bethesda game if it wasn't absolutely brimming with mods, and with our Fallout 4 mods, you'll be well on your way to building your own game-breaking mess! While we wait for Fallout season 3, and the apparently nowhere to be seen Fallout 5, mods and cheats might be the best we get in Fallout 4. That being said, you could bust out some Fallout 3 and New Vegas cheats too. But for now, if you're wondering how to mod Fallout 4, and the best mods, including getting the multiplayer mod to play with friends, here's everything you need to know. How to use mods in Fallout 4 Mods for Fallout 4 from the developer Bethesda can be downloaded from its official website. To install a mod, you simply select 'Add to library' and load the game once it has finished downloading. However, third-party websites such as Nexus Mods can also be used. Once you have clicked on your mod of choice, you must download it and save all the files to somewhere that is easy to access on your PC, such as a dedicated folder. Then you will need to install a mod manager and log in with your corresponding credentials before navigating to your downloads, selecting them to make sure they are active. From there, you will be able to simply load Fallout 4 as usual. On consoles such as Xbox Series X, there is a mod menu that allows you to download them straight to your game - however, there is less choice available. Best Fallout 4 mods There are tons of Fallout 4 mods to play around with, so knowing where to start can be overwhelming. Here is a list of some memorable ones: Multiplayer Roaming around a post-apocalyptic wasteland can be dangerous, so having a buddy along for the radiation-fuelled ride would be comforting. Unfortunately, previous multiplayer mods for Fallout 4 have ceased to exist, and are no longer supported by their creators. However, with the Building Bridges mod, players can interact with each other through a paper trail of notes reminiscent of games such as Elden Ring. It’s not quite the same as having a friend running alongside you, but it gives players a chance to share useful information. Armorsmith Extended One of the most popular Fallout 4 mods to date, surpassing 10 million downloads. Created by Gambit77, there's so much within this mod that's made it the go-to choice for players globally. Some features include overhauling the mods system by adding more slots for more armour and clothes to equip, alongside being able to wear clothes underneath armour. Additionally, you can craft every power armour in the game and mod any clothing and weapons to pretty much whatever you want. It changes the experience completely and is an essential mod. Download the Armorsmith Extended mod Change field of view A limited field of view can be annoying for some players, and it can sometimes cause misalignment in specific scenarios in the game. This FOV mod will allow you to alter that, specifically during moments within Fallout 4 such as entering power armour or using a terminal. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website Lucy MacLean (Fallout TV Show) Thanks to this mod from VaultGirl2077 and xMakeDamnSurex, you can play as Lucy MacLean from the Fallout TV show. Perfect if you've just finished the Amazon Prime Video series. Download the Lucy MacLean mod Buzz Lightyear Paladin Danse is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, a pretty rigid companion that can accompany your adventures. While he's certainly a fierce warrior, there is a way to lighten the guy up – and that's the attire of everyone’s favourite toy spaceman, Buzz Lightyear. That's right! Spread infinity and beyond throughout the wastelands with this colourful mod created by Trashlizard that turns power armour into Buzz's suit. It's quite the makeover. Perfect for solving any intergalactic emergencies. Download the Buzz Lightyear mod Swiftageddon Taylor Swift is everywhere right now as she continues to dominate the world of music – even managing to make an appearance in the nuclear armageddon. The mod from TheXzi alters the player’s Pip-Boy - the bulky wrist device that acts as a hub of information - to turn a bright shade of pink, which acts as a refreshing splash of colour in the otherwise barren world. It doesn’t stop there, though, as Swift’s face also appears as a background on each menu screen, so you can think of your favourite pop star while choosing the best weapon to take down a band of raiders. Download the Swiftageddon mod Vault Girl Recreations - Cooper Howard from the Fallout TV Show Another mod for fans of the TV series, this one from VaultGirl2077 and xMakeDamnSurex lets you play as Cooper Howard – human or ghoul. It's highly detailed and looks quite impressive. Download the Cooper Howard mod Naruto Running One of the most memorable things about the popular anime show, Naruto, is how characters sprint in it. With heads pushed forward and arms played out behind them, people in the series often look more like rapid chickens than real humans. With this mod, players will be able to alter how their character runs when suited up in power armour to match that of the Naruto show with hilarious results. Download the Naruto Running mod Lowered Weapons Though NPCs don't mind having guns pointed at their face, it can ruin the sense of immersion running around the wasteland with your weapon always at the ready. This mod seeks to remedy this by having - as the name suggests - your weapon lowered when you're not firing it. Not only does this add to the roleplay element, but it also improves your peripheral vision, as you get a good amount of it back by not having your Fat Man mini-nuke launcher up and at the ready. Download the Lowered Weapons mod Disable character light Characters in Fallout 4 have pretty strong hero lighting that makes them glow unnaturally. It's extremely obvious in low-lighting settings such as indoors or at night, and the game looks remarkably more natural without them. You don't need to download anything for this one, it simply requires some .ini file tweaking - which you can find out how to do on the Nexus Mods page. Download the Disable Character Lighting mod There are all the mods you need to know about to change things up in Fallout 4. Since the TV show's debut, new mods are now being added regularly so we'll be updating this article just the same so head back for more suggestions in future. If you can't wait that long, make sure to check out our guide on the best Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 76 mods, including Fallout 4 is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

Will there be a Fallout 3 Remastered? Rumours and fan mod explained
FTC leaked documents fuel speculation that an announcement could be soon.
It's fair to say that Fallout 3 made the series what it is today – there's no New Vegas without 3, after all – so it's hardly a surprise that fans are hoping for a remaster. Bethesda hasn't said much about remastering their old games (except for Skyrim, of course), but with season 2 of the Fallout TV show doing so well, that may all be about to change. Fallout 4 got its next-gen upgrade, and even Fallout: New Vegas is getting the remaster rumour treatment, so what about Fallout 3? Here's what you need to know about the Fallout 3 remaster, and when it could come out. (Hint: It's probably sooner than Fallout 5) Will there be a Fallout 3 Remastered? No official Fallout 3 remaster has been announced by Bethesda, at the time of writing. That said, several Microsoft documents leaked in September 2023 (via IGN) as part of Microsoft's trial over its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Published by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), these documents revealed many upcoming projects coming from Bethesda, with a remaster of Fallout 3 noted. This has naturally led to speculation that an announcement may be on the way. These rumours were buoyed in late-2025, when Bethesda's Todd Howard confirmed that the team was busy with Fallout 76 and "some other things." Those 'other things' were later reported to be a Fallout 3 remaster. The latest (and most promising) news comes from January 2026, via noted Xbox insider Jez Corden, reporting for Windows Central that "we are eventually getting a Fallout 3 remake in the vein of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered." When could a potential Fallout 3 Remastered release date be? Our speculation At the moment, it's safe to say that we know next to nothing about the state of the Fallout 3 remaster, and as such, it's impossible to accurately say when it would come out. According to the aforementioned FTC documents published during Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the rumoured Fallout 3 remaster was slated to be released in the financial year of 2024. That, of course, did not pan out, but with news on development starting to leak out into the world, that does suggest that progress is being made. While we could potentially see the Fallout 3 remaster launch in 2026, we predict that the Fallout 3 remaster will launch in 2027. That being said, this is purely speculation, so take that with a rather large grain of salt. Is there a fan-made Fallout 3 remaster? How to get it explained Yes, there are a few Fallout 3 remaster mods built by fans over the years. The best place to find them is via Nexus Mods, where users upload their creations for people to try out. Some have not been updated for years (the game did come out in 2008), so quite a few are a bit outdated. One from WMDBloodHunter that overhauls the interiors, exterior, DLC as well as adding cut content was last updated in 2023. Just make sure to check the PC requirements.

Fallout games in order: What's the best way to play Fallout?
From the original RPG on PC to Fallout 76 and beyond.
Fallout has managed to rack up an incredible cultural footprint considering how few games in the series there actually are. From the early days of the original RPG in 1997, through reimagined Fallout 3, iconic spin-off through New Vegas, Fallout 4 and now the Fallout TV show, it's been a wild few decades. We're still some way away from Fallout 5, unfortunately, but that just gives you more time to play or re-play all of the games we already have! So, whether you're new to the series, returning for another run-through, or perhaps looking to play as the story unfolds, here's the full list of Fallout games in both release and chronological order. What’s the best Fallout game to play first? We actually asked this question to one of the developers from Bethesda, makers of the Fallout games, at the BAFTA Games Awards 2024. See what he said in the video below! View Green Video on the source website While you might naturally be drawn to the first Fallout game when considering playing the lot, it's worth noting that the first and second entries are more top-down classic RPGs, as opposed to the modern action RPGs of today's standards. That's why we would advise anyone approaching the post-apocalyptic series for the first time to start with one of the titles from the 21st century. This then comes to Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. Since the latter is the latest iteration and was launched in November 2015, Fallout 4 is the best starting point, in our opinion. Every game has its own single-player adventure that stands by itself, so it makes sense to jump into the most modern of the lot. Not only will the controls be easier to pick up, but it's much easier to access, being available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bethesda-FA4GSTP4PENG-Fallout-Goty-PS4/dp/B074SP552Z/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2ZC1DUZRXBFFV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zg75mtTIe_nOiXBq1lGKf90R-zGxxIsbC7RLNh5nzR5s5WgNHNd0m9SKROCntg63KjsX6Su9HISidxgHV5nfRFaG28cqYE_4UmY5QoH2CC_kD9Qb06-npIZsDeI7sYFvN3MrWKJrCtpPQ0FowDM114R9es9bSJ-zhVsvATnZ1qo9imIpvQgCBTZnl5MwdoxP_c-qxbu0WV2zyYROee5hXgg71_27gTsjK7Jqq0jcw1Q.h7LDPlW3KelD6uKBZiA_ncl5d0lyfy5EW105iFDHYR0&dib_tag=se&keywords=fallout%2B4&qid=1712669789&sprefix=fallout%2B4%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-2&th=1&tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-2022108" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Get Fallout 4 at Amazon Fallout games in release date order Fallout mainline Fallout – 1997 Fallout 2 – 1998 Fallout 3 – 2008 Fallout 4 – 2015 Fallout 5 – Upcoming (release date TBC) Fallout spin-offs Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel – 2001 Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel – 2004 Fallout: New Vegas – 2010 Fallout Pinball – 2016 Fallout 76 – 2018 Fallout DLC Fallout 3 DLC came out in this order: Operation: Anchorage (Fallout 3) – January 2009 The Pitt (Fallout 3) – March 2009 Broken Steel (Fallout 3) – May 2009 Point Lookout (Fallout 3) – June 2009 Mothership Zetra (Fallout 3) – August 2009 Fallout: New Vegas DLC came out in this order: Dead Money (Fallout: New Vegas) – December 2010 Honest Hearts (Fallout: New Vegas) – May 2011 Old World Blues (Fallout: New Vegas) – July 2011 Lonesome Road (Fallout: New Vegas) – September 2011 Fallout 4 DLC came out in this order: Automatron (Fallout 4) – March 2016 Wasteland Workshop (Fallout 4) – April 2016 Far Harbor (Fallout 4) – May 2016 Contraptions Workshop (Fallout 4) – June 2016 Vault-Tec Workshop (Fallout 4) – July 2016 Nuka-World (Fallout 4) – August 2016 High Resolution Texture Pack (Fallout 4) – February 2017 Fallout games in story order All Fallout games are set in the US, and apart from Fallout 76, have been released in timeline order as well as release order. Fallout 76 Twenty-five years after a nuclear war devasted Earth, Fallout 76 is set in Appalachia and takes place in the year 2102. As a member of Vault 76, players leave the comfort of their homes to scour the wastelands and take on its greatest threats, either in solo or online multiplayer. This is the earliest timeline for the Fallout series. Get Fallout 76 at Amazon Fallout The first Fallout picks up in the year 2161, with these vault dwellers being residents of Southern California.

How to watch Sony's State of Play live stream: PlayStation event's start time tonight
There's plenty to speculate about with a 40-plus minute video presentation set to arrive from PlayStation.
We're fast approaching the end of the year, and following some big 2025 releases, we've got the final PlayStation State of Play this year. With some big titles coming to the PS5 in 2026, Sony is already gearing up for what many hope could be the last year before we see the PS6. We don't know too much about today's show, but it's set to feature a whole host of news about upcoming Japanese and Asian titles, so we're sure to see some bangers either way. So, with only ours to go until it begins, here's when the next PlayStation State of Play starts, how to watch it and what you can expect! When is the next PlayStation State of Play? What time is it in the UK? Sony has confirmed that the next PlayStation State of Play live stream will take place on Tuesday 11th November 2025. It will start at 10pm for those in the UK. For those outside of the UK, the State of Play will begin on 11th September at 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 11pm CET and 12th November at 7am JST. The latest PlayStation State of Play was announced one day in advance of airing, with Sony confirming a "State of Play running for more than 40 minutes, focusing on games created in Japan and across Asia, alongside a few other exciting updates". How to watch PlayStation State of Play in the UK View oEmbed on the source website The State of Play will be available to watch on both PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels. Or, if not, just watch it right here with the embedded video above. You can bookmark this page and watch it live right here on RadioTimes.com! Which games will be shown in the PlayStation State of Play? At the moment, we don't really know what games could be showcased, but given that we know they will be games made in Japan and Asia, we have a few guesses. The most obvious games to show would be Resident Evil Requiem and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, with both 2026 releases being made in Japan. Many fans of Astro Bot will be hoping to see news on upcoming DLC, following a teaser from a few months ago, or even news on a new game, though we think this is rather more unlikely than a DLC announcement. Phantom Blade 0, a game being developed by Chinese studio S-GAME, is another title that fans will be hoping to see more of, following a period of relative silence. Aside from that, we can likely expect some announcements from various Japanese studios and publishers like Bandai Namco or Konami. Last but not least, we will all be hoping for news from FromSoftware on the future of Bloodborne, and like always, we'll probably finish the night none the wiser!

Best Pokémon Go Arlo Counters: How to defeat Scizor, Muk and more
If you're after Giovanni but Pokémon Go's Arlo is in your way, you've come to the right place. One of Team Go Rocket's Leaders, Arlo is no slouch, and his current team can deal some serious damage if you aren't careful. So, if you're looking for some help on countering Arlo's current team in Pokémon Go, we've got a full list of counters for you to take a look at so you can be on your way to the Rocket boss in no time. Best Arlo counters for Pokémon Go August 2025 While we know which Pokémon Arlo will start with, rounds two and three can feature different ones. Additionally, while we know the options, there is no way of knowing which one you will go up against. So, we have covered all variations of the Arlo battle here, so you stand the best chance of emerging victorious. Here is what you will need to know about what you will be up against. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website First round Shadow Chikorita (Grass-type) Weakness: Counter with Fire, Flying, Poison and Ice-type attacks Second round Shadow Slowbro (Water and Psychic-type) Weakness: Counter with Electric, Grass, Dark and Ghost-type attacks Shadow Crobat (Poison and Flying-type) Weakness: Counter with Electric, Rock, Ice and Psychic-type attacks Shadow Steelix (Steel and Ground-type) Weakness: Counter with Fire, Water, Fighting and Ground-type attacks Third round Shadow Scizor (Bug and Steel-type) Weakness: Counter with Fire-type attacks Shadow Alakazam (Psychic-type) Weakness: Counter with Dark and Ghost-type attacks Alolan Shadow Muk (Poison and Ground-type) Weakness: Counter with Ground-type attacks For this battle, we recommend having at least one Fire-type Pokémon to cover both Chikorita in round one and Scizor in round three – Mega Charizard Y, Blaziken, Heatran and Reshiram are all great options. A Tyranitar with Dark-type coverage is an excellent choice too, as this will cover Crobat 's Flying-type and Alakazam's Psychic-type. Alternatively, a strong Electric-type can be used to cover both Slowbro and Crobat. Lastly, anything with good Ground-type damage like Groudon will be ideal as a means of dealing not only with Steelix, but with Muk's sky-high defences. It's also worth noting that you can re-pick your team after losing to Arlo once, by opting for a rematch at the same location, which should mean that Arlo makes the same picks again - this time, you'll know who you're up against, so you can make your picks more wisely. Best Chikorita counters in Pokémon Go You should not have too much trouble when you take on Cacnea, but if you want to get the job done fast, we recommend using Fire, Flying, Poison, Bug or Ice moves. There are plenty of choices that will decimate Cacnea's health in no time, such as Glaceon, Houndoom and Charizard. Beedrill is a good pick, as it receives minimum damage from Cacnea's poison sting, which it uses regularly. Best Slowbro counters in Pokémon Go Slowbro is a Water and Psychic-type that is weak to Bug, Dark, Electric, Ghost and Grass-type moves. Sceptile is a good choice, but we recommend a Pokémon with Dark or Ghost-type moves to cover Alakazam as well – Dawn Wings Necrozma, Gengar, Tyranitar and Mega Absol are all great options. Best Crobat counters in Pokémon Go Crobat is weak to Electric, Psychic, Rock and Ice-type attacks. If you can get a powerful Psychic or Ice-type like Shadow Mewtwo or White Kyurem, that would be ideal. If not, Tyranitar, Rhyperior and Mega Alakazam all make good options. Best Steelix counters in Pokémon Go Steelis is weak to Water, Fire, Ground and Fighting-type moves, so you should focus on these. Mega Lucario is an excellent choice here, as are both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Alternatively, you could also use Mega Y Charizard, Blaziken or Swampert to get the job done. Best Scizor counters in Pokémon Go Reshiram is by far the best bet for a Scizor takedown, but, failing that, there are others that you can choose - including Chandelure, Charizard, Blaziken and Moltres. So take your pick. But essentially, any Pokemon that can handle itself in a fight and is equipped with Fighting, Fairy, Ground, Bug, Steel, Water or Grass moves should give this one a run for its money. Best Alakazam counters in Pokémon Go As a Psychic-type, Alakazam is weak to Ghost, Dark and Bug-type moves. We again a Pokémon with Dark of Ghost-type coverage, such as Ghost Wings Necrozma, Tyranitar or Gengar, but you could also just brute force your way through with any powerful Legendary Pokémon. Best Alolan Muk counters in Pokémon Go Alolan Muk only has one weakness thanks to its Poison and Dark-typing – Ground-type moves. For that reason, your best options here are the likes of Primal Groudon, Garchomp, Excadrill, Rhyperior or Swampert.

EA FC 25 defenders: Best CB, RB and LB in Career Mode and Ultimate Team
The best form of attack starts with the defence, so here are the players at the back to look out for.
They say that attack wins you games, but defence wins you titles, and by they, we mean Sir Alex Ferguson, who probably knows a little more about football than most of us. In FC 25, you need to have a balanced defence, whether that's for Career Mode or Ultimate Team, with players able to keep opposing players out of your box, but equally capable of making a difference at the other end of the pitch too. There are quite literally thousands of defenders to choose from in FC 25, which is why we've narrowed it down to the very best for you. You can also check out some of the best wonderkids, if you prefer to develop your players over time instead, but for now you can read on for a look at all of the top-rated defenders in FC 25. Best CB in EA FC 25 The best centre-back in EA FC 25 is Mapi León of Barcelona. This is the second year in a row that the Spanish defender has topped the rankings, despite suffering a meniscus tear that kept her from playing throughout the majority of the season. The top 10 players in the centre-back position can be found below: Mapi León (Barcelona/Spain) – 89 OVR Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool/Netherlands) – 89 OVR Rúben Dias (Manchester City/Portugal) – 88 OVR Wendie Renard (Lyon/France) – 88 OVR Irene Paredes (Barcelona/Spain) – 88 OVR Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid/Germany) – 88 OVR William Saliba (Arsenal/France) – 87 OVR Marquinhos (PSG/Brazil) – 87 OVR Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan/Italy) – 87 OVR Gabriel (Arsenal/Brazil) – 86 OVR Please note that Inter Milan is known as Lobardia FC in EA FC 25 because of the exclusivity deal between Konami and the Italian football club. Best RB in EA FC 25 The best right-back in EA FC 25 is Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid. After a stellar year at the Spanish giants that saw the 32-year-old win the Champions League for the sixth time, the La Liga and Supercopa, Carvajal also helped Spain win the European Championship. The top players in the right-back position can be found below: Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid/Spain) – 86 OVR Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool/England) – 86 OVR Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich/Germany) – 86 OVR Lucy Bronze (Chelsea/England) – 85 OVR Jules Koundé (Barcelona/France) – 85 OVR Ashley Lawrence (Chelsea/Canada) – 85 OVR Achraf Hakimi (PSG/Morocco) – 84 OVR Kyle Walker (Manchester City/England) – 84 OVR Benjamin White (Arsenal/England) – 84 OVR Ellie Carpenter (Lyon/Australia) – 83 OVR View Riddle on the source website Best LB in EA FC 25 The best left-back in EA FC 25 is Theo Hernández of AC Milan. Known for his blistering pace and attacking presence, the French international – who is also the younger brother of PSG's Lucas Hernández – has risen up the ranks to earn the number one spot, even if Milan missed out on the Serie A title. The top 10 players in the left-back position can be found below: Théo Hernandez (AC Milan/France) – 87 OVR Sakina Karchaoui (PSG/France) – 87 OVR João Cancelo (Al Hilal/Portugal) – 86 OVR Fridolina Rolfö (Barcelona/Sweden) – 86 OVR Selma Bacha (Lyon/France) – 86 OVR Ona Batlle (Barcelona/Spain – 85 OVR Katie McCabe (Arsenal/Ireland) – 85 OVR Andrew Robertson (Liverpool/Scotland) – 85 OVR Hannah Blundell (Manchester United/England) – 84 OVR Lisa Boattin (Juventus/Italy) – 84 OVR View Green Video on the source website Read more on FC 25: FC 25 review: Our final verdict FC 25 ratings: The very best players FC 25 soundtrack: Full list of songs FC 25 wonderkids: Best young players FC 25 strikers: Best forwards to use FC 25 wingers: Best RW and LW FC 25 midfielders: Best CDM, CM and CAM FC 25 goalkeepers: Best GK Best kits in FC 25: Our favourite shirts FC 25 evolutions: Who should you upgrade?

Epic Games has confirmed that the selection of Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks will change each week on Thursdays at 3pm UK time. That's 10am ET over in the USA, if you're reading from that side of the pond. So we'd expect Thursday evenings to be a fun time for players to jump back in and enjoy the refreshed playlist! View Green Video on the source website When is the next season of Fortnite Festival? We'd expect Fortnite Festival Season 9 to arrive on 17th June 2025. That's because Season 8 ends the same day! We'd expect the changeover to happen after 5am UK time on that date, as that's when the previous content is slated to conclude. As for who is set to feature, various leakers have teased that French electronic duo Daft Punk are set for a collaboration, but we'll have to wait for official confirmation. As Fortnite Festival develops, you can expect more songs to be added to the game. We'll try to keep this page up to date as best we can. Epic Games is planning on having "hundreds" of songs in Fortnite Festival (thanks, Billboard!), so you can look forward to playing many more tracks soon.

WWE 2K25 release date confirmed: Pre-order and latest news
Roman Reigns steps up to cover star with "game-changing features" teased for the latest wrestling game.
2025 is a huge year for wrestling already, with Monday Night Raw heading to Netflix, and it's about to get even bigger with the WWE 2K25 release. With Roman Reigns gracing the cover, developer 2K has already described this year's game as "bigger, bolder and better than ever". And considering how massive last year's game was, those are strong words, and reason for fans to get excited. So if you're already hyped for WWE 2K25, let's take a look at the info you need to know including release date, gameplay and more. When is the WWE 2K25 release date? It has now been confirmed that WWE 2025 will release on the 14th March 2024. We have come to expect mid-March releases with WWE titles (it's been the case for the past three years), so this makes sense. When is the UK launch time for WWE 2K25? While WWE 2K25 will launch on all platforms on 14th March, you will have to wait a little bit longer if you're playing on PC. WWE 2K25 will launch on PlayStation and Xbox consoles at 12am on 14th March, meaning you can jump into the game as soon as the clock strikes midnight. For PC players, WWE 2K25 will launch at 4am on 14th March, so if you were hoping to stay awake to play it, you might want to brew some coffee. Can I pre-order WWE 2K25? You can indeed pre-order WWE 2K25! The standard edition is available for PlayStation and Xbox for £64.99, and on PC via Steam for £54.99. The Deadman Edition is £89.99, and the Bloodline Edition is £119.99. The former includes up to 7-Day Early Access, Deadman Edition Bonus Pack, and 15,000 VC. The latter includes all that, plus The Bloodline Edition Bonus Pack a Ringside Pass, and The Rock Nation of Domination Pack. All of these editions are available on both PS4 and PS5. Which consoles and platforms can play WWE 2K25? WWE 2K25 will be available across PlayStation, Xbox and PC (Steam). This includes both current and last-generation consoles, meaning PS4 and Xbox One owners will be able to play this year's game. However, while 2K25 is available on last-gen consoles, you will not have access to the new The Island mode on PS4, Xbox One and PC - more about which you can learn in the gameplay section down below. No details regarding a Nintendo Switch or Epic Games Store release were detailed. The game may be ported at a later date or even launch for the rumoured Switch 2. WWE 2K25 gameplay and story details View oEmbed on the source website WWE 2K25 was revealed as part of WWE Raw on Netflix, with fan favourite Roman Reigns and exec Paul Heyman featuring in a video confirming the game's existence. More details were then teased for 27th January, with Reigns expected to be the cover star. A brief description of the game can be found on the official WWE 2K site: "WWE 2K returns bigger, bolder, and better than ever in a breakthrough year for the franchise! "WWE 2K25 is preparing to charge down the ramp with all the authenticity and action fans love from the best in sports entertainment. "Discover game-changing features, iconic Superstars, and more details on 28th January 2025." Perhaps the biggest new feature of the game is The Island - a new single-player and multiplayer game mode that sees you develop your custom superstars. Players will be required to fight in matches and complete various quests and challenges in order to progress in the mode and impress the island's chief - the one and only Roman Reigns, of course. As mentioned above, The Island is unfortunately only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. According to the developers, this is because the team could not guarantee the quality of the mode on these platforms, and did not want to give players a broken or unfinished product.

Those on PC can head to Steam to pre-order or alternatively on the Two Point Studios website. Two Point Museum pre-order differences View oEmbed on the source website There will be two different Two Point Museum editions available at launch: standard and Explorer. The standard edition will include the base game itself and some Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog staff costumes for those who pre-order ahead of launch. The Explorer Edition will feature a "selection of decorative items to embellish your halls, walls and floors with bespoke designs and well travelled statues". On top of this, several "exclusive items to help your experts replenish faster to send out on more expeditions" will be included as well. The biggest difference is that the digital Explorer edition will grant five days of early access. Which consoles and platforms can play Two Point Museum? Two Point Museum will be available across both consoles and PC with PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows platforms confirmed. This does currently mean that Nintendo Switch owners are set to miss out at launch, though we have a good feeling that the game will arrive at a later date – or even potentially at the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. Two Point Museum gameplay and story details Two Point Museum is a business simulation game developed by Two Point Studios – known for Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus – and published by Sega. Players will assume the role of a museum manager with the aim being to manage, design and refine the exhibits to create the best experience for guests. A team of (partially) trained experts can be sent on Expeditions in search of rare artefacts, while each section of the museum can be tailored to your design. This can be done by splashing some paint, laying down carpet or arranging the exhibits in an order of your choice. Alongside dinosaurs, a haunted hotel and aquarium will feature. Two Point Museum trailer The announcement trailer for Two Point Museum was unveiled in August 2024. The video shows off the many historical elements that will come into play – specifically the Jurassic era is previewed. Check out the trailer below: View oEmbed on the source website Two Point Museum will launch on Tuesday 4th March 2024 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows.

Avowed romance guide – All romantic options in Avowed explained
Roses are red, violets are blue. But are these companions romanceable too?
Avowed has been out for almost a week now, and it's available on both PC and console Game Pass. So if you're a subscriber, you may as well give it a go. Its world is beautiful and vibrant, and it certainly scratches that Elder Scrolls itch for exploration. But does Avowed have romancing options? It seems like the type of title that would, and you'd be disappointed if it didn't after the likes of Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. We'll answer all your questions below, and share our own little Avowed romance guide. Is there romance in Avowed? Yes, there is romance in Avowed, though it's extremely minimal. While players shouldn't expect anything like The Witcher 3 or Mass Effect, the option is there. This is surprising as developer Obsidian has repeatedly stated that it will not be a feature in the lead-up to the game's release. "We don't have romance in Avowed," Obsidian game director Carrie Patel explained in an interview with Windows Central back in July 2024. "I know it's something that many players love, and it's something that we very seriously talked about, and considered the investment required to do it." In the same interview, Patel added: "Given how much we were investing in our companions as characters who are really tied to the central story in a way that they haven't been in many of our previous games, we wanted to make sure that if we were going to do romance, we were going to really, really, really do it right – or not at all. For Avowed, we decided to focus on other aspects of our companions." All romance options in Avowed explained So far, we've only discovered one romance option surrounding one of the four companions in Avowed. Here's what you need to know – also be aware of some spoilers. Kai To romance Kai, the first companion you meet and a member of the Coastal Aumaua race, players need to complete the character's personal quest. Specifically, the following steps need to be followed: Recruit Kai by completing the tutorial and arriving in Dawnshore Speak to Kai multiple times at Party Camps Complete the 'Battle Scars' personal questline for Kai Choose the dialogue option: "I feel like we've really gotten to know each other, haven't we?" Kai will then reciprocate and suggest picking the romance up later (after the final boss) If done correctly, a small epilogue notes that the pair's relationship has blossomed. There are some SPOILERS in the next paragraph - a couple of things to avoid in the final stages of the game if you want to see the romantic epilogue at the very end. There are a couple of things that can put Kai off and stop you from seeing the romantic ending: if you merge yourself with the god Sapadal, or if you join the baddies of the Steel Garotte within the final few hours, Kai won’t stick around for a happy ever after. It doesn't matter what gender you are or any other differences like being human or elf. There may be more romance options in Avowed, so we'll make sure to update this piece if/when we find out more. Avowed is available across Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows. Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Is Avowed multiplayer? Why Avowed developers chose not to add co-op explained
"We were too focused on co-op and we were too focused on changing the way our pipelines work…"
Following many years of development, Avowed is finally set to release on Xbox consoles and the PC platform. It hasn't all been plain sailing, though, with the game suffering a delay and even multiplayer being removed. Considering the team that is behind Avowed (Obsidian Entertainment) is best known for their single-player experiences – think Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds, etc – it's a surprise this was ever considered. On the other hand, developer Arkane, which also falls under ZeniMax, was reportedly forced into making the game multiplayer, which arguably led to the game underperforming. So, what's the deal with Avowed? Is multiplayer planned at all? Well, we've rounded up all the latest developer comments to answer this and more. Is Avowed multiplayer? No, Avowed is not multiplayer. The game is a single-player fantasy RPG that does not feature any way to play with others, be that online or a cooperative component. There are no plans for Avowed to receive multiplayer at some point in the future, either. Obsidian has confirmed that all aspects of playing with others were removed at some point during development and the game was then worked on as a solely a single-player experience. Was Avowed multiplayer cancelled? Developer comments View oEmbed on the source website Avowed developer Obsidian Entertainment has been very open about how the original intention for the game was for it to surround cooperative multiplayer. Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart spoke about this during a new documentary celebrating the 20th anniversary of the studio. "One of the things where I really pushed was that Avowed was going to be multiplayer, and I kept on that for a long time. I think in the end… no, I know in the end it was the wrong decision to keep on pushing on it," he explains. "Why I had done it was when we were still independent and we were selling it, it was a more interesting game to publishers. And when you're asking for $50, $60, $70, $80 million, you got to have something interesting to talk about. "Multiplayer made it interesting. It was sort of this idea of it's almost like peanut butter and chocolate, putting it together, like, 'Wow it must be something that's good.'" Obsidian head of development Justin Britch then adds: "We were too focused on co-op and we were too focused on changing the way our pipelines work, and the way that we write conversations and the way we do quests and everything else. "After working on it for a little bit, we realised that we weren't focused on the things we're best at. And so we did make a pivot on the game, basically to refocus – and make sure that it was, at the end of the day, an Obsidian game and not something different." Avowed is set to launch on 18th February across Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows. Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Avowed: Release date on Xbox Game Pass explained
Everything we know about Obsidian's new fantasy RPG, including how to play now.
One of the biggest new games of the year is almost upon us in Avowed, with early access now under way and its release date – both globally and for Xbox Game Pass – almost here too. Following four years of wait since its original announcement, the new game from Obsidian Entertainment, best known for Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds and Pentiment, is set to arrive on Xbox and PC. Set in the Living Lands, players will look to stop a mysterious plague from spreading in a new fantasy RPG that looks to reach the same heights as the studio's previous titles. With not long to go until available everywhere, we've rounded up everything you need to know about Avowed. From its release date and UK launch time to early access and pre-orders, you can find it all below. Avowed release date Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed that Avowed will be released globally on 18th February 2025. This is the same date the game officially becomes available on Xbox Game Pass. That said, anyone who picked up the Avowed Premium Edition (whether it be digital or physical) has been able to play the game since 13th February 2025. When is the Avowed UK launch time? The Avowed launch time here in the UK looks to be 6pm on 18th February 2025, based on the timer via the Xbox app. The UK launch time for the early access version of the game (Premium Edition) looks to be 6pm on 13th February 2025. That's 1pm ET / 10am PT for those of you playing in the US. Which consoles and platforms can play Avowed? Avowed is available to play on Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows (PC). Since Obsidian Entertainment is a subsidiary of Microsoft, Avowed is an Xbox console exclusive, and will not come to PlayStation or Nintendo platforms. It is rumoured to be launching eventually on PlayStation 5, however, just as many other Xbox games are doing so and already have done so. It will not arrive on Xbox One, though, with the game built for current-gen platforms only. Is Avowed on Xbox Game Pass? Yes, Avowed will launch on Xbox Game Pass. The game will be available on the same date as its global release come 18th February 2025. While the game will still be released physically and digitally, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play Avowed the second it launches for as little as £6.99 a month. Can I pre-order Avowed? Avowed is available to pre-order at GAME. You can only pre-order the Premium Edition of the game if you're after a physical copy, which doesn't include a disc and instead gives you a digital download code. The Premium Edition does come with the following: Base Game Digital Code Up to five days Early Access (13th February) Two Premium Skin Packs Access to Digital Artbook & Soundtrack Avowed Steelbook Map of the Living Lands You can pre-order a digital copy of the game on CDKeys. Of course, if you have Xbox Game Pass, you won't need to pre-order. Avowed story news Set in the Living Lands, a part of the world of Eora, Avowed sees players take control of an envoy of Aedyr as they are sent to investigate a mysterious plague that is being spread. The Living Lands is full of dangers, with the aim being to save the island and your soul before these threats tear the place apart. Avowed takes place in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity (also from Obsidian). Whether these two games will cross over in some way is yet to be seen. We imagine an Easter egg or two at the very least. Avowed gameplay news Avowed is an action fantasy role-playing game that looks to take inspiration from The Elder Scrolls. A "flexible combat system" was developed specifically for Avowed, which allows players to quickly swap from spellcasting and sharpshooting to melee combat. Customisable loadouts such as sword and shield, dual-wield pistols and dual-wield wands were some of the examples shown off. All battles can be combined with different weapons, attacks and abilities for tactical advantages, with a wide variety of enemies said to feature. "It's colourful, it's vibrant, it's strange. It's one of the most incredible settings in the world of Eora," said Obsidian game director Carrie Patel, as part of the Xbox Developer Direct in January 2024. "When it comes to encounters, our combat brings the best of the moment-to-moment fun that comes with action-orientated gameplay and the depth and breadth of choice that you get with an RPG." Is there an Avowed trailer? Yes, there have been a good number of Avowed trailers by this point. The original announcement trailer for Avowed was first debuted in July 2020. It's come a long way since then. Check it out below: View oEmbed on the source website A story trailer providing an overview of what to expect from the RPG was then released in July 2024. If you want to go in blind, this is worth giving a miss. Or if you'd rather get an idea of the narrative, watch below: View oEmbed on the source website The official launch trailer for Avowed was uploaded in February 2025 by Obsidian. This blockbuster trailer previews the Living Lands and what players can expect when they jump in on day one.

When is Avowed early access? Start time and how to get access explained
How to start playing Obsidian's new fantasy game and when exactly you can jump in.
It's been an interesting few years for Xbox, with many of its exclusives now available on different platforms and the company's approach to the concept waning. That said, there are still a few big games set to arrive only for the console, such as the new fantasy action RPG Avowed. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment – known for Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds – players will be able to jump into the new adventure incredibly soon. In fact, if you're reading this, there's a chance you can jump in now. How? By paying for early access and getting days of game time ahead of its wider release. With that in mind, we've broken down how Avowed's early access works, when you can start playing and what versions of the game are needed to jump in. When is Avowed early access? Start date and UK time Avowed will be available to play via early access from 13th February. Those in the UK should be able to jump in at 3pm GMT, as we've been told by an official Xbox PR contact. That's five days of extra game time ahead of its full release on 18th February 2025. This works the same whether buying the game physically or picking it up via Xbox Game Pass – the latter requires an additional upgrade purchase if you want to play early. How to get Avowed early access explained Anyone wishing to play Avowed via early access can do so by picking up one of the premium editions of the game. This includes one of the following: Avowed Premium Edition Avowed Premium Steelbook Avowed Premium Upgrade – Xbox Game Pass or for anyone wanting to upgrade from the standard edition The upgrade, premium edition and premium steelbook are £20 more than the £69.99 standard cost, so bear that in mind before purchasing. What else is included in the Avowed early access? Alongside accessing Avowed five days early, players that pick up the Premium Edition will unlock two premium skin packs for their characters, a digital artbook as well as the game's soundtrack in digital form. So, the decision is yours as to whether to invest £20 more to gain access to the Avowed early on top of the cosmetic perks. It's worth noting that early access usually means there's a chance of bugs being more prevalent, with a day one patch typically not being available until a game's wider release. That said, if you want to avoid spoilers and get in on the action ahead of everyone else, this is the way to do so. Avowed is scheduled to launch across Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows on 18th February 2025.

Civilization 7 patch notes: What changes in Civ 7's day one patch?
From gameplay tweaks to AI and UI to camera changes, here's what to know before jumping into Civ 7.
Thinking of jumping into Civilization 7 now that the game has launched internationally? Well, it's good to know what the latest changes do, with developer Firaxis now providing details of what to expect in its day one patch. Acknowledging early criticisms, the Maryland-based studio is looking to make things right as soon as possible. That said, the newest patch is only available for those on Windows, Mac, Linux and Steam Deck, with a console update presumably coming later down the line. As a result, one of the biggest changes has affected crossplay in a big way. To break everything down, we've rounded up all the latest details and patch notes surrounding Civilization 7 and its day one update. What changes in Civ 7's day one update? The day one patch for Civilization 7 looks to address a host of improvements and tweaks across its gameplay, artificial intelligence, user interface and camera. It's technically more of a day two patch (as of 10th February), with the game being available five days early if you picked up the Deluxe or Founders Edition. "Today’s 1.0.1 Patch 2 for PC addresses some player feedback received during Advanced Access and is the first in a series of upcoming patches intended to do so. "Stay tuned for larger, more substantive updates to come in the future," wrote developer Firaxis Games in a blog post. Most notably, though, crossplay between PC and console has temporarily been disabled due to the patch only being available on PC platforms. It's still possible to crossplay across PC to PC and console to console, in the meantime. Some other changes are that City States will now turn into Friendly Independent Powers on Age Transition instead of disappearing completely, ports can now be built on Navigable Rivers, and AI now offers high-value cities less often during Peace Deals. A camera issue has been fixed on native resolutions where the camera would focus on the lower end of the map when clicking on the minimap too. Full patch notes for Civilization 7 The full patch notes from the 1.0.1 patch 2 for Civilization 7 can be read in full below: Gameplay Windows PC/Mac/Linux/Steam Deck Fixed an issue causing Ages in Epic and Marathon speed games to be shorter than intended. City States will now turn into Friendly Independent Powers on Age Transition instead of disappearing completely. They will also now start with more units in Exploration and Modern Ages. Fixed inconsistencies with Naval Combat. Naval Units will use the correct Combat Strength values when attacking another Naval Unit in all instances. Naval Units will properly take reciprocal damage after attacking another Naval Unit. Naval Units will more consistently move into the attacked tile after defeating another Naval Unit. Completing the final milestone of a Legacy Path no longer adds Age Progress in the Modern Age to ensure you have more time to complete a Victory. Towns will now switch their focus back to Growing town automatically if they are no longer eligible for their chosen Focus (for example, if their population decreases) until they are eligible again. Future Civic is now repeatable in all Ages. The cost of Future Tech and Future Civic will now increase more when repeated. Fixed an issue after too many bonuses to Growth where Food needed for the next growth event became negative. Improvements to Rail Networks aimed at increasing the reliability of Settlements connecting to the Rail Network over water by building Ports. This should apply as long as the Capital either has a Port or is connected by rail to a settlement with a Port. Made improvements to the Loyalty Crisis in the Antiquity Age, including giving the ability to purchase Villas in towns during this crisis, giving another way to manage the happiness of your settlements. A note about cross-play multiplayer: To expedite updates to the PC experience, we will sometimes deploy patches to PC at a different cadence than we do on consoles - including today's Patch 1.0.1. As a result, cross-play between PC players and console players is temporarily disabled. This will have no impact on console players attempting cross-platform play with other console players, nor on PC-to-PC multiplayer. AI Windows PC/Mac/Linux/Steam Deck AI will now offer high-value Cities less often during Peace Deals. In Modern, AI will now declare war less often at the start of the age. In Modern, AI will now consider Ideology more before Declaring War or offering Peace. Other Leaders now have a decreased desire for war if neither party has an Ideology. Other Leaders now have an increased desire for war with players of Opposing ideologies. Other Leaders now have a decreased desire for Peace with players of opposing Ideologies. Camera Windows PC/Mac/Linux/Steam Deck Fixed an issue on native-resolutions where the camera would focus on the lower end of the map when clicking on the minimap. UI Windows PC/Mac/Linux/Steam Deck Replaced the Simplified Chinese font with the font used in Civilization VI while we work on additional improvements for future patches. Fixed an issue where the Settlement menu fails to open when clicking on a non-player's Settlement Banner in gameplay. Fixed an issue where yield icons fail to populate on the now available buildings when converting a town to city. Fixed an issue where some text was cut off on the Global Yields Breakdown screen. Added a notification for completed Espionage actions, so that you can more easily check the results of their Espionage actions. City projects no longer appear to be purchasable.

How long is The Last of Us Part 2? How many hours to beat the sequel
Here's how long it will take to best the game in time for HBO's season 2 adaption.
The popularity of The Last of Us has only continued to skyrocket in recent years, with the HBO adaptation bringing the story of Joel and Ellie to new audiences. Now, with season 2 of the TV show on the way, many people are curious about the video game sequel and how long it takes to beat. Developed by creator Naughty Dog and director Neil Druckmann, The Last of Us Part 2 originally launched on PS4 in 2020 before being remastered on PS5 in 2024 and soon on the PC, in April this year. We follow up five years after the events of the first game, with Ellie now serving as the main protagonist and journeying across the post-apocalyptic US on a mission of vengeance. How the TV show will address all of this is yet to be seen. Either way, it will be extremely fascinating to see how they handle the events of the second game – for one, showrunner Craig Mazin suggested that the story will be told across multiple seasons. For anyone who has played the game, it's easy to understand why. With the full story being likely years away before it's all revealed on-screen, The Last of Us Part 2 video game is sitting right there to answer all your questions. How long will it take, though, and what do I need to know beforehand? Well, we've tried to answer all of this and more. How many hours is The Last of Us Part 2? The Last of Us Part 2 will take between 22 to 26 hours to complete when focusing solely on the main story, from our experience. Another reference is the video game length compendium How Long To Beat, which states that the game will take 23 to 24 hours, with both numbers noted for the PS4 release and PS5 remaster. Again, this assumes you're only working through all of The Last of Us Part 2's chapters and not exploring every nook and cranny, or backtracking for collectables. If you're looking to nose around the new expansive environments and maybe grab a few collectables, then you'll need a few extra hours - with a total time of around 29 hours - while completionists will need to spend around 42 hours with Ellie and co to 100 per cent the game and receive the hard-earned Platinum trophy. Again, these are estimates and the time will vary on your play style – you may find yourself getting lost in the impressive Extras section for some time, or end up taking a lot longer on the gruelling Grounded or Permadeath difficulties. Taking at least an entire real-world day, The Last of Us Part 2 is rather lengthy for a linear narrative-driven game and nearly twice as long as its predecessor. The story is rather intense also, so you might want to spread this one out a bit. It might be tempting to rush the game in time for the HBO adaption, but it's a game best experienced over a week rather than bursting through in a mad weekend, in our opinion. Let's not forget all the extra modes that come with the remastered version, either. Three lost levels never made it into the original game, a roguelike mode called No Return, and even a mode to just mess about with the guitar. Whatever way you play the game, you have plenty of time to do so, with The Last of Us season 2 returning in April 2025. The Last of Us Part 2 is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows. Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

When is Marvel Rivals mid-season update? Date confirmed and what to expect
Since launching in December, Marvel Rivals has been a huge fit with fans with over 20 million players downloading the game to date. The third-person hero shooter then entered its first official season in January and is now set for a mid-season update, which has already caused some discontent. Developed by NetEase Games, the Chinese studio initially planned to reset players' rankings before an outcry from fans made them rethink the new update. So, while it's been a mad 24 hours with things chopping and changing, we now have some firm details of what to expect. Not only do we have a release date for the Marvel Rivals mid-season update but we now know when the remaining Fantastic Four line-up will join. Thankfully for anyone who is a fan of Ben Grimm/The Thing and Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, they won't have to wait much longer. When is Marvel Rivals mid-season update? Marvel Rivals mid-season update is set to take place on 21st February 2025 – more specifically, this is when the first half of the season will conclude at 8am on that date. The original idea was to reset player rankings on this date. However, developer NetEase walked this back following the response from fans. "After the release of Dev Talk 10 regarding the seasonal rank adjustment, we received a wealth of feedback from the community," wrote NetEase in a blog post. "A common concern was the pressure associated with having a rank reset every half-season, which has made participating in competitive mode less enjoyable. In light of the community's input, we have decided to make some changes to optimise the rank system." The statement then goes on to address the new changes. What to expect from the Marvel Rivals mid-season update The headline feature of the Marvel Rivals mid-season update is that The Thing and Human Torch will be added to the Marvel Rivals update on 21st February. They follow the rollout of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman on 10th January, now completing The Fantastic Four in its entirety. This is no doubt to tie in with the upcoming Marvel Studios movie – The Fantastic Four: First Steps – starring Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby. No mid-season rank reset will now take place with players keeping their ranks and scores earned from the first half. To earn new rewards, 10 matches in Competitive mode need to be participated in alongside meeting the relevant conditions by the end of the season. These rewards will include a new Gold rank costume and a variety of Crests of Honor, including "distinct designs" for Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity and the One Above All rankings. Likewise, once the mid-season update is implemented, players who are at Gold rank will receive a costume reward. In addition to this, those who are ranked as Grandmaster and above will receive the Crests of Honors while a further Crest of Honor for the top 500 players (One Above All). Marvel Rivals is available across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Is Diego Maradona coming to FC 25? Release date confirmed
Following years of rumours, leaks and a legal dispute, one of the greatest footballers to walk the earth is set to make their long-awaited return.
Following weeks of speculation and a long legal dispute, Diego Maradona is now set to make his return to the world of FIFA with EA Sports FC 25. After a lifetime of football achievements that included a World Cup win, multiple Series A titles, world-record transfer fees and some of the best goals to ever be scored on a football pitch, Maradona sadly passed away at the age of 60 in 2020. Known as El Pibe de Oro ('The Golden Boy') throughout his career, the Aregentine's popularity and legend have long continued to this day. With EA Sports FC remaining the de facto way to play as your favourite players, many fans around the globe will be thrilled that Maradona will return to the football simulator so they can reenact many of the legend's most notable moments throughout the years. The good news is that there's not long to wait either with official details now coming straight from the source. Yes, at long last, EA has confirmed Maradona is on the way. Is Diego Maradona coming to FC 25? View oEmbed on the source website EA has now officially confirmed that Diego Maradona will be added to EA Sports FC 25 on 14th February 2025. The player is set to headline the Grassroot Greats promo that will arrive alongside. Whether Maradona will feature in Ultimate Team or the general game as a whole is still unclear, though the former is most probable, considering the mode's huge popularity. What were the Diego Maradona FC 25 rumours? View oEmbed on the source website Several rumours suggested an announcement surrounding Diego Maradona's return to FC 25 took place in early February. The most prominent rumour was from FC 25 known leaker DonkTrading (via X), who stated that Maradona would arrive with a 97 rating. Some fans speculated that El Diego would be introduced alongside the leaked Grassroots Greats promotional event (first rumoured by FutSherrif). EA removed Maradona from FIFA 22 due to a legal dispute in March 2022 surrounding his image rights. As a result, three cards featuring the Argentinian great were withdrawn from the game. "Due to a third-party legal dispute, we must suspend Diego Maradona from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team Packs, future FUT content and the Soccer Aid World XI in EA Sports FIFA 22," a statement from EA read in March 2022. "As such, Diego Maradona Icon Items will no longer be made available in Packs, SBCs and FUT Draft. "We have always included Maradona’s likeness and image under valid license agreements, first with Mr Maradona himself and later with the company entitled to license Maradona’s image rights worldwide." It's now believed that the legal dispute has come to an end.

Will GTA 6 come to Nintendo Switch 2? What the Rockstar boss has said
"We've had obviously a long-standing relationship with Nintendo..."
GTA 6. GTA 6 GTA 6. The world won't stop talking about the next Grand Theft Auto – and for good reason. After more than a decade of waiting, the game is finally set to arrive sometime in 2025 on next-gen consoles. But what about Nintendo Switch 2? While we know the next Rockstar title will come to PlayStation and Xbox, many fans have been wondering whether a GTA 6 port of some kind may be possible for Nintendo's upcoming machine. After all, it's set to have higher specs than its predecessor and many games have utilised cloud gaming on the Switch platform in the past. Well, the good news is that publisher Take-Two has addressed the idea of bringing more games from its library to Nintendo Switch 2. The bad news is that it will in all likelihood be quite some time before anything substantial happens. Will GTA 6 come to Nintendo Switch 2? What the Rockstar boss has said There are currently no plans to bring Grand Theft Auto 6 to the Nintendo Switch 2, as of the time of writing. Likely, the lack of power of the next Nintendo machine and the poor sales history of games from publisher Take-Two on Nintendo platforms are big indicators of its reluctance. However, Take-Two chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick has recently suggested GTA on Switch might be possible during its latest financial results call in February 2025. During this, they stated that the company "fully expects" to support the Nintendo Switch 2. "We've had obviously a long-standing relationship with Nintendo and we've supported the platform when it made sense for the individual release," said Zelnick (as reported by Eurogamer). "There was a time when Nintendo platforms are really geared at younger audiences and that was reflected in our release schedule. And now today with Switch and potentially with Switch 2, the Switch device can support any audience. "As you may have noted, Civilization 7 is now on Switch. So while we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch [2]." So while nothing has been officially announced, the comments above suggest anything is possible. More probable is a version of Grand Theft Auto 5 or GTA Online making its way to Nintendo Switch, as the company looks to take advantage of the massive player base found on Switch (and will hopefully translate to Switch 2). Not to mention, a PC release will no doubt be a priority over Switch, so it could be a good few years off before anything is even talked about seriously. Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch in 2025 across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Battlefield Labs: How to sign up, early access and what we know about the new Battlefield
EA's "most ambitious community testing programme in franchise history" spans four studios and thousands of fans.
EA has revealed Battlefield Labs, an early access title that will help "build the future" of the Battlefield franchise. Four different EA studios are working on the game, which is described as the "most ambitious community collaboration in franchise history". Sadly, few details have been shared about what the next game will look like (although pre-alpha gameplay has been shown off in a trailer), with development now hitting a "critical phase" in its cycle. You can play a role in the future of Battlefield, which has become somewhat stagnant after the mixed reaction to Battlefield 2042. EA is looking to incorporate thousands of playtesters. Want to know more? Read on to find out everything there is to know about Battlefield Labs early access, including how to join, when it is and what we know about the new Battlefield game. What is Battlefield Labs early access? Battlefield Labs is a new development initiative where players will get to test specific focus areas for the next iteration of the Battlefield series. It will see all four of EA's Battlefield Studios – DICE, Ripple Effect, Motive and Criterion – come together to work on the project. "This represents the largest team in franchise history, across a world-class group of development studios, focused on delivering on our ambitious vision for the future full of fun, authentic Battlefield experiences for our community built on our unique DNA," said EA in a blog post. When is Battlefield Labs early access? The first testing of Battlefield Labs early access is expected to begin in the "coming weeks" following the announcement on 3rd February 2025. Players will receive an email from playtesting@ea.com with more details regarding how to play and share feedback. An NDA (non-disclosure agreement) will need to be signed to take part, so you won't be able to brag to your friends about it. Sessions will take place at different times and in different regions every few weeks. How do I sign up for Battlefield Labs? Anyone interested in being part of the closed testing environment initiative can do so by signing up via the official Battlefield Labs website. Just make sure you have an EA account that is linked to the platform account, as without this, playtesting is unavailable. More information surrounding EA Playtesting can be found in an informational video uploaded online by the game maker. Initial tests will feature invited players who are located in Europe and North America. EA then plans to expand server locations alongside the number of invites that will grow into the 10s of 1,000s. Which consoles and platforms can play Battlefield Labs? Battlefield Labs will be available on PC via the EA App as well as on consoles via PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. A PlayStation Plus and/or Xbox Game Pass is required to access Battlefield Labs. Those on PC will require the following specs: Minimum Specs: CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB Memory: 16GB Storage: Minimum 30GB Recommended Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060Ti / AMD Radeon RX 6700-XT Memory: 16GB Storage: Minimum 30GB What do we know about the next Battlefield game? Release window confirmed Few details were shared by EA, with only a glimpse of pre-alpha footage being given as part of the announcement surrounding Battlefield Labs. An official title has yet to be revealed, either. Following EA's third quarter earnings results in February 2025, we know (thanks, VGC!) that the new Battlefield game has an "expected fiscal year 2026 release". This means EA is hoping to release it by April 2026. Aside from its tentative launch window, we do know that the game is being developed by four studios: DICE, Ripple Effect, Motive and Criterion. DICE is known as the creator of Battlefield, Ripple Effect was previously DICE LA, Motive made Star Wars Squadrons and the 2023 remake of Dead Space, and Criterion Games made Burnout and Need for Speed. This group will now be known as Battlefield Studios, with the umbrella approach to the next title seemingly being in response to the mixed reception of Battlefield 2042. Ripple Effect is working on a "new experience" within the next Battlefield that some believe might be a battle royale mode. Criterion is handling the single-player campaign, following the closure of Ridgeline Games in February 2024. The Washington-based studio was said to be working on a narrative-focused Battlefield game before being shut down. DICE and Motive are then expected to work on the multiplayer and support development as a whole. Is there a Battlefield Labs trailer? Yes, EA uploaded a detailed look at what Battlefield Labs is in a five-minute-plus trailer. The video showcases all four Battlefield studios and teases the next instalment in the series.

Shogun X in Fortnite: Boss location and gameplay tips
How to take down Fortnite's latest hunter in Chapter 6, Season 1.
Since kicking off in December, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has been in full swing, with a big part of the latest season themed around Demon Hunters. And the biggest baddie of the lot is currently wreaking havoc upon the battle royale island. No, we're not talking about Godzilla or even King Kong. This is Shogun X, a demon commander of the Demon Warriors who has been transported to the game from the Spirit Realm. A hostile boss that needs your full attention to take down, Shogun X has many tricks up his sleeve. The first job is locating the commander, with the boss sporadically jumping around different parts of the map before finally being able to take them down for good only after a certain duration of time has passed. How does this all work? Well, we've broken it all down before so you can not only find Shogun X but beat them in battle. Where is Shogun X in Fortnite? Boss location To find Shogun X in Fortnite, you need to pay attention to the map when you're on the Battle Bus. Here, you will find a demon sigil showing the location of Shogun X. Shogun X will randomly appear at one of several spawn locations on the map, which is why you really need the map screen's help on this one. If you follow the marker from the Battle Bus map screen, you'll find the commander absorbing Spirit Energy somewhere nearby. Shogun X will then teleport across the island multiple times until the fourth storm circle begins to close in. Once this happens, Shogun's Arena will materialise on the map as an island in the heavens. Again, just check the map to find it. It's a red icon that looks like a cluster of islands from above. To access Shogun's Arena, head underneath where the islands are (we'd recommend using a vehicle to do so) before locating an Air Sprite. This looks like a wind-like tunnel and it will propel you up to the islands. On the centre one, Shogun X will step out of a portal ready for combat. How to beat Shogun X in Fortnite — gameplay tips Like all bosses in Fortnite, defeating Shogun X requires a combination of dodging and dealing enough damage. The hunter's health is around 3,000 HP, so it takes a little bit of time to whittle down but is not the most difficult compared to past fights in the game. Shogun X wields an Epic Typhoon Blade weapon that sadly can't be obtained yet looks awesome in battle. The commander will utilise a mix of sword slashes where they dash across the arena, explosive masks that are thrown your way and a charging burst of molten fire that resembles a volcano. Timing is key when it comes to dodging but for the Oni Fireballs, it's worth assembling a wall to defend well against these. One thing that does provide an advantage is using a ranged weapon with Shogun only moving around the open area of their arena. This gives you the upper hand at all times. Six Mythic weapons are available upon defeating Shogun X, including: Enhanced Fury Assault Rifle, Enhanced Oni Shotgun, Enhanced Sentinel Pump Shotgun, Enhanced Twinfire Auto Shotgun, the Fire Oni Mask and Typhoon Blade. A Shield Potion and Boon are also dropped. Fortnite is available via the Epic Games Store across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Nintendo Switch 2 boss "will take all possible measures" to combat one annoying behaviour
Can the next Nintendo console learn from the mistakes of the PS5 launch?
Now that the Switch 2 has officially been unveiled, Nintendo has addressed one very annoying behaviour that it will be trying to stop at launch. After years of speculation, the Japanese games maker revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 in a short trailer that debuted the look of the console, a tease of the next Mario Kart, as well as confirmation that the machine is backwards compatible. It was also noted that a Nintendo Direct will take place in April, where the launch line-up is expected to be shown off. This has naturally led to a lot of excitement from fans, with a Switch 2 release date likely not that far behind. However, like all console launches, the race to get your hands on one can be extremely difficult – which is where Nintendo's desire to save ordinary fans from annoying behaviour comes in. Read on for the full story! Nintendo Switch 2 boss will "take all possible measures" to fight scalpers As reported by Nikkei (via VGC), Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed to the Japanese press that deterrents will be put in place to prevent people from scalping the Nintendo Switch 2. "We will take all possible measures based on the experience we have accumulated to date (regarding scalpers and the like). We are making preparations," said Furukawa (as translated by VGC). Scalping is the act of buying a product with the sole intent at reselling it at a higher price for profit. It's mostly done during product launches, with both the original Switch and PlayStation 5 suffering as a result. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, stock shortages plagued Sony's next-gen console for months, with the price being doubled in some cases across resell sites. Nintendo is now concerned that history will repeat itself once again with the launch of the Switch 2, something it's looking to mitigate. How this will be addressed is yet unclear. Some methods taken by manufacturers include a one-per-card or one-per-household implementation. Another would be tying the purchase to an email or Nintendo account – perhaps only offering pre-orders through Nintendo Switch Online, similar to the NES and SNES controller distribution. View Green Video on the source website It was previously reported by Nikkei that the Switch 2 was delayed from March 2025 to ensure stock shortages did not occur come release. Furukawa confirmed in July 2024 that Nintendo is "making preparations" to make sure enough stock will be available. "As a countermeasure against resale, we believe that the most important thing is to produce a sufficient number to meet customer demand, and this idea has not changed since last year," he said at the time. "In addition to this, we are considering whether there are any other measures that can be taken to the extent allowed by laws and regulations, taking into account the circumstances of each region. "Although we were unable to produce sufficient quantities of Nintendo Switch hardware last year and the year before due to a shortage of semiconductor components, this situation has now been resolved. "At this time, we do not believe that the shortage of components will have a significant impact on the production of the successor model." The Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to launch sometime in 2025, with a Nintendo Direct next set to take place on 2nd April 2025. Stay tuned for more.
