Roblox image ID list: 100 best images and decals to use
Make your time in Roblox better with these images.
There aren't many games that encourage creativity as much as Roblox does, and thanks to image IDs it's incredibly easy to put your own spin on your games. Image IDs are simply codes that you can share with others to quickly find specific images that you can place into your Roblox games – it's the same kind of idea as music IDs. That's far from the only thing you can do, though! You can also change your appearance with faces codes, hair codes, and even shirt IDs too! If you need some help in your games, then you should take a look at some of our handy codes pages for games like 99 Nights in the Forest, Grow a Garden, Anime Last Stand and even Fortnite Steal the Brainrot! But for image IDs, we've put together a list of the top 100 best ones for you to use, and we've even narrowed it down to our very favourites in the video above! How to use Roblox image IDs Before we get into our top 100 image and decal IDs in Roblox, you’ll need to know how to use them and where to find more. To find the user-created images and decals in Roblox, simply head on over to the Marketplace on the official website. Click on Images to see the lot of them, and then click on the Get Decal button to add it to your inventory. If you would prefer to see how it's done, then we’ve included a simple video from YouTuber Gauging Gadgets below: View oEmbed on the source website Roblox image ID: The best 100 decals View Gallery on the source website Take a look at the gallery above to scroll through a whole load of Roblox image IDs, with their associated code listed below each picture. If you like the look of any of the Roblox images or decals above, simply copy the image ID and paste it into the end of this URL: www.roblox.com/library/. Once you have done that, you can add the decal to your inventory. Here’s our list of the 100 best images and decals to use in Roblox: Giga Chad (image ID: 10590477450) Help me rickroll all of Roblox (image ID: 6403436082) Shocked Guy meme (image ID: 11818627075) Among us man face (image ID: 9180622670) Cat_gun (image ID: 5205790826) Man shocked at sight of banana (image ID: 9605261863) Straw Hat Pirates (image ID: 9478562327) The Rock (image ID: 8425069728) Cat standing meme (image ID: 9142678957) The meme dog (image ID: 9835676498) Luffy (image ID: 10511856020) One Piece all x luffy (image ID: 8964489645) Banana cat (image ID: 5009915812) Dragones de kanna (image ID: 8332960925) Sonic meme (image ID: 10491133376) Skeleton meme (image ID: 10180536602) Sigma (image ID: 11600511955) Sad Spongebob meme (image ID: 10729455663) Megamind Meme (image ID: 10180628714) Bing Chilling (image ID: 9895184382) Gengar Crosshair (image ID: 11759293347) Dragon Ball Crosshair (image ID: 11759193017) Cat that fell into its milk (image ID: 7220505725) Peter Griffin Voice Call (image ID: 4632517063) Among Us Red Imposter decal (image ID: 5747127696) Sus dog meme (image ID: 11648237431) Images/Cheems dog minecraft (image ID: 9676276958) Makima | Chainsaw Man | anime | girl (image ID: 11902680347) View Affiliate Playlist on the source website Ghost staring meme mw2 (image ID: 11623459250) Pop cat (image ID: 10800748312) The Rock eating pancakes (image ID: 7554420585) Meme hamster xd (image ID: 8450601370) Drip Goku (image ID: 7683701966) Spy TF2 (image ID: 11100293066) Pyro tf2 cook (image ID: 10085901665) Anime Aesthetic (image ID: 6675147490) Another Anime Aesthetic (image ID: 5252447904) Hutao - Genshin Impact (image ID: 6942501530) Xiao - Genshin impact (image ID: 10100073890) Ganyu - Genshin impact (image ID: 6409799531 Itto - Genshin impact (image ID: 7903533369) Ei / Baal - Genshin Impact (image ID: 7903531752) Im da biggest bird pic (image ID: 12077086097) Saul Goodman (image ID: 10776847027) Grass Block Side From Minecraft (image ID: 9267155990) Grass Block Top From Minecraft (image ID: 9267183944) Dirt From Minecraft (image ID: 9267089525) Red Bed Top From Minecraft (image ID: 9267599783) Oak Log Side From Minecraft (image ID: 9359131816) Sand From Minecraft (image ID: 9277770684) Sans (image ID: 915326045) Gojo Satoru (image ID: 9242918232) Breaking Bad Walter (image ID: 10118413175) Assassin’s Creed symbol (image ID: 11622626925) Red Omega Symbol (image ID: 11489880386) Kawaii | Anime girl | Pixel | Pastel | Game (image ID: 11696745268) Doge Doge (image ID: 631727250) Son Goku Ultra Instinct (image ID: 7625033282) Zorhadur (image ID: 9454288009) Wednesday (image ID: 11702769325) Cat with gun (image ID: 78969295) Cat holding his food (image ID: 11089513965) Dog (image ID: 10919793581) Genshin Impact | Anime icons | pfp | kokomi (image ID: 11761637789) Potato Pirates Logo V2 (image ID: 11005456141) Cheem samurai (image ID: 7995653636) Hatsuni Miku | Blue | Game | Pixel | Kawaii (image ID: 11696689831) Genshin Impact | Anime icons | pfp | Venti (image ID: 11761735237 Genshin Impact | Anime icons | pfp | childe (image ID: 11761733202) Genshin Impact | Anime icons | pfp | nilou (image ID: 11761723782) Genshin Impact | Anime icons | pfp | Lisa (image ID: 11761719248) Dragon Ball Goku (image ID: 7607741448) Starbucks (image ID: 11968834680) Sonic scary (image ID: 9795319439) Ronaldo Nextbot (image ID: 10487246132) Cute anime (image ID: 8227110001) Capybara (image ID: 7600505808) Aesthetic anime girl | Sailor Moon (image ID: 8678122759) Mario for Blox Fruit crew (image ID: 11168363548) NO (image ID: 6807257275) Nezuko | Demon Slayer | Black and Pink | Kawaii (image ID: 11426233172) LOS POLLOS HERMANOS (image ID: 9670994907) Saul Goodman Ad (image ID: 10586142459) Moai PNG (image ID: 11990831699) Mike Bruh Meme Face (image ID: 6090344677) Cute baby duck with a flower hat (image ID: 6277787457) Cute frog riding in car (image ID: 7790518252) Royal Greek Empire of Samos logo (image ID: 102348382) Images/Spy-x-Family-Anya-Forger (image ID: 10694360254) Epic Duck Decal (image ID: 92401568) YouTube (image ID: 1275974022) Messi (image ID: 11992703858) Crosshair (image ID: 11988231187) Anime Decal (image ID: 8598068650) Sonic | Sega | icon (image ID: 12052385551) Tails | Sega | icon (image ID: 12052378352) Amy | Sega | sonic | icon (image ID: 12052395301) Elmo fire (image ID: 10901055606) Aesthetic | Gamer | Controller (image ID: 10322933810) Aesthetic | K1rby | Kawaii | Anime (image ID: 11041446595) Now get out there and show off your new decal designs.

Fallout 4 cheats: Best console commands and how to use cheat codes
With the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition celebrating the game's 10-year anniversary, there has never been a better time to jump back in. But if you're finding the gameplay a little stale in comparison to your first runs (or even the show), then you might want to spice things up with some Fallout 4 cheats. Thanks to console commands, you can do anything from using God Mode to become invincible to spawning a Fat Man to quite literally nuke anything in your path. We still have years to go until Fallout 5, so cheats are one of the simplest and best ways to get a bit more mileage out of the game until then. So, if you're after some nifty Fallout 4 cheats, you can read on for the full list of console commands and how to use them! Fallout 4 cheats: How to use console commands To activate Fallout 4 cheats, you’ll need to type in console commands. To use console commands, you need to press the grave key (`) – the key directly below Esc – if you’re playing on a standard British English keyboard. If you’re using an American English keyboard, meanwhile, you’ll press the tilde key (~). Pressing the key directly below Esc on your keyboard should open up the 'developer console screen'. Once this is open, you’ll need to type in the console command of the cheat you wish to use and press the Enter key to activate the cheat. The console commands aren’t case-sensitive. Don’t include any brackets (or what’s within), either - we’ve added those in for console command cheats such as to denote when to enter a Quest ID, item number or anything else that lets you choose from a list of specific things. So, for a console command such as coc (cell ID) below, enter coc 00001E45 (as an example) to teleport to Diamond City Radio.

ROG Xbox Ally X UK release date, price and how to buy the new handheld today
The new Xbox handheld is now available in the UK.
It's finally here! If you've ever wished you could have Xbox Game Pass on the go, then the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X handhelds are the answer to your prayers! Since the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch have made gaming on the go so popular and accessible, Microsoft is getting in on the action with what is effectively a mobile PC. The tech giant first announced the ROG Xbox Ally at its annual Xbox Games Showcase in June, launching it as a collab with the previously launched Asus ROG Ally handhelds. These new consoles are promising a powerful handheld gaming experience complete with an easy-to-use Xbox UI and a neat, ergonomic design. So, if you're wondering when the ROG Xbox Ally release date is, how much it costs and where to buy, you can read on for everything you need to know. Buy ROG Xbox Ally for £499 at Very Buy ROG Xbox Ally for £499 at Currys When is the ROG Xbox Ally UK release date? The ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X are available from 16th October 2025.

The more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X will sell for £799.99 / $999.99, while the weaker, white ROG Xbox Ally costs only £499.99 / $599.99. Interestingly, while the ROG Xbox Ally X costs the same as the currently available Asus ROG Ally X in the UK, the UK price of the ROG Xbox Ally is £100 lower than that of the Asus ROG Ally. As such, we wouldn't be surprised to see the price of the Asus ROG Ally X drop at some point in the future to accommodate the new Xbox handheld.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release date, gameplay and latest news
After what feels like forever, we finally have a confirmed release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. First announced all the way back in 2017, the game has had a choppy development cycle, shifting developers from Bandai Namco to Retro Studios and being restarted back in 2019. But we're finally in the home stretch, and one of the most highly anticipated games around is releasing later this year – but when exactly? For everything you need to know about the return of Samus Aran, here's the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release date, gameplay, news and more. View oEmbed on the source website When is the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release date? Metroid Prime 4: Beyond releases on 4th December 2025 for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. For a long time, all we had to go on was a vague 2025 release window, and at one point, banners spotted on the London Underground advertised the game as "Out Now". View oEmbed on the source website This bizarre mixup was quickly corrected, however, with new posters going up a few days later with the same old 2025 release date we already knew about. Thankfully, all that speculation is now dead and buried, with Nintendo confirming the official release date in their September 2025 Nintendo Direct. Can I pre-order Metroid Prime 4? Yes! Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is now available to pre-order. Nintendo Switch 2 owners can purchase the game digitally from the Nintendo eShop for £58.99 / $69.99 / €69.99. Alternatively, you can get it for slightly cheaper on the Nintendo Switch 1, again from the eShop, for £49.99 / $59.99 / €59.99. Later on, you can pay £7.99 to upgrade to the superior Switch 2 version if you choose to. As for physical copies, it doesn't look like they're available to pre-order just yet, but we'll keep an eye out for them, so be sure to check back! Which consoles and platforms can play Metroid Prime 4? Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. Despite the Nintendo Switch 2 having already been announced, the game strangely wasn't confirmed for the console for a while, though that has now been resolved. That being said, it is interesting that the game is receiving a cross-platform release, with other first-party Nintendo titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza releasing as Switch 2 exclusives. Metroid Prime 4 gameplay and story details Thanks to its official reveal trailer, we now know a little bit about the gameplay in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Surprise, surprise, it's first-person again. The famous scanner is back, as is the Morph Ball, which looks like it shares the physics and controls of the earlier Prime games. We also know that the Missile Launcher and Standard Blaster are back – as you'd expect. It's developed by Metroid Prime studio Retro Studios, and if you've played any of the previous three games you should know what to look forward to. For the story, details are also thin. We know that it's set in the Cosmic Year 20X9 and Sylux is involved as an antagonist, leading an attack on a Galactic Federation Research Facility along with Space Pirates and, of course, Metroids. We did get a bit more information in March's Nintendo Direct, which confirmed that the game takes place on the planet Viewros where Samus is stranded and has to find a way home. Strangely, she also now has some psychic abilities which look like they'll largely be used for solving puzzles dotted around the game. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website Is there a Metroid Prime 4 trailer? Yes! There is a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond trailer, which reveals the game's new logo and name, shows off some gameplay, teases the story and gives us a good look at the game's gorgeous visuals.

Dying Light: The Beast release date, launch time and latest news
It's nearly time! The Dying Light: The Beast release date is fast approaching, so you might want to get geared for stepping back into Kyle Crane's shoes. The third game in the series from Polish developer Techland (if you don't count 2016's Dying Light: The Following expansion), the game originally started life as an expansion for 2022's Dying Light 2. Taking place 13 years after the events of the original game, it's already racked up more than 1 million pre-orders, though that's hardly a surprise! If you're curious when exactly Dying Light: The Beast is set to release, read on for everything you need to know. When is the Dying Light: The Beast release date? Dying Light: The Beast launches on 18th September 2025. While a release date wasn't confirmed for a long old time, eventually, the developers revealed an initial 19th September release date. This was later moved forward by one whole day to celebrate the game reaching a whopping 1 million pre-orders in the weeks leading up to launch. What time does Dying Light: The Beast release in the UK? Dying Light: The Beast launches at 5pm BST in the UK. The game will be released globally at the same time, so if you aren't in the UK, here's how that translates to your time zone: US West Coast (PDT) - 9am US East Coast (EDT) - 12pm Central Europe (CEST) - 6pm Singapore (SGT) - 12am, 19th September Japan (JST) - 1am, 19th September Australia East Coast (AEST) - 2am, 19th September New Zealand (NZST) - 4am, 19th September View Green Video on the source website Can I pre-order Dying Light: The Beast? Yes! Dying Light: The Beast is currently available to pre-order on all platforms. PC players can purchase it from both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Alternatively, you could save yourself a few bob, as you can purchase both the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition from Loaded for a nice discount. Console players, you can grab yourself a copy from the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store – sorry Switch 2 owners, no dice! It's worth bearing in mind that anyone who owns the Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition will receive a copy of Dying Light: The Beast for free, so if that's you, save your money!

How to get Lugia in Pokémon Go: Raid Battle dates and weaknesses
Here's how to get the Legendary Gen 2 Pokémon.
It's been nearly a year, but Lugia is finally back in Pokémon Go, so if you missed out on the Gen 2 Legendary last year, you're in with another shot. Lugia will be back in 5-Star Raids for a full week, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to catch one, but you will, of course, need to battle it first. Luckily for you, we've put together a handy guide to the Flying and Psychic-type's weaknesses, as well as the best counters that you should be using to take it down. So, to find out how to get Lugia in Pokémon Go, info on its Raid Battle dates and Raid Hours, and its counters, read on! How to get Lugia in Pokémon Go To get Lugia in Pokémon Go, you need to defeat one in a 5-Star Raid Battle to earn your chance to catch the Generation 2 Legendary Pokémon. Unfortunately, these 5-Star Raid Battles starring Lugia don’t come along too often. Fortunately, though, there’s one happening this very weekend (as of writing, sorry anyone who catches this page later on)! Reckon you're a Pokémon master? Pit your wits against our Pokémon quiz below! View Riddle on the source website Lugia Raid Battle dates in Pokémon Go Shadow Lugia will appear in 5-Star Raid Battles between 4th August 2025 and 11th August 2025. As well as this, Lugia will feature in its own Raid Hour between 6pm and 7pm local time on 6th August 2025, so this is the best time to catch one. At long last, we know when we can battle against Lugia in a raid and have our chance of adding the Legendary Psychic and Flying-type Pokémon to our Pokédex once again. Now you know when the Lugia Raid Battle dates are in Pokémon Go, you need to know how to beat Lugia and the best counters against its weaknesses. More on all of that below. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website Lugia weaknesses in Pokémon Go Lugia is a Psychic and Flying-type Pokémon, which means it is weak against Dark, Electric, Ghost, Ice, and Rock-type attacks. Even with Pokémon knowing good moves of the types above, defeating Lugia in a 5-Star Raid Battle will still prove difficult. They don’t make these battles easy. Regardless, it’s still definitely best to pick Pokémon that know powerful Dark, Electric, Ghost, Ice, and/or Rock-type attacks against Lugia. Keep trying and you’ll defeat the Legendary Pokémon eventually. Best Lugia counters in Pokémon Go The best Lugia counters in Pokémon Go will be strong Pokémon that know powerful (and quick) Dark, Electric, Ghost, Ice, and Rock-type attacks. It will also help if you bring Pokémon that resist Psychic and Flying-type attacks as Lugia will often attack with those (it can also use Dragon and Water-type attacks, just so you’re aware). All told, though, we recommend you bring powerful Rock-type Pokémon such as Tyranitar, which is a Rock and Dark-type Pokémon. Tyranitar will resist Lugia’s Psychic and Flying-type attacks while knowing moves of its own that will be Super Effective against Lugia. Win-win. Other good counters against Lugia include Rampardos, Mamoswine, Magnezone, Raikou, Rhyperior and Diancie. Essentially, though, stick with Rock-type and you’ll do well.

Has The Sims 5 been cancelled? Project Rene explained
Everything we know about the state of EA's iconic series.
It's already been more than 10 years since EA first brought The Sims 4 to our screens. So, where on earth is The Sims 5? As one of EA's longest-running and most successful series, many fans are unsurprisingly baffled as to why the elusive Sims 5 hasn't made an appearance yet. Well, it's more complicated than it seems, with the developers working on a new, multiplayer Sims experience, codenamed 'Project Rene'. So, what does this all mean? Has The Sims 5 been cancelled? What actually is Project Rene? For everything you need to know, read on! Has The Sims 5 been cancelled? Despite previous reports claiming that The Sims 5 is in development, EA has confirmed that it is not making The Sims 5. EA is not making The Sims 5 "as a replacement for 4", anyway, according to Kate Gorman – EA's vice president – talking to Variety. Gorman explains that EA "will continue to bring HD simulation experience and what people would want from a 5 — but it doesn’t mean that we’re going to start you over, reset all your progress, and really feel like you’re going to lose all of that amazing play you put into 4". EA doesn't want its millions of The Sims 4 players to have to restart after a decade of progress and building. Gorman adds that: "The future of the franchise looks more like keeping your progress, keeping things across titles, and really having an ongoing experience, and not a start-and-stop experience between products." What is The Sims Project Rene? Previously, game director Grant Rodiek said in a stream: "Project Rene is not an MMO [massively multiplayer online game]. It is not this public, shared space where everything you do is always with other people... "You can play on your own, on your terms, and then again, when you want [and] on your terms, you can invite others to come and play with you." In the Variety interview, Gorman added: "We know that there is an opportunity to play in a very social, real-time, multiplayer environment within our gamespace." In terms of what Project Rene will contain, Gorman is remaining tight-lipped as the development team works on the title. "We know simulation is at the core of everything we do, and we want to make sure our players still have that experience they want, but in a world with real players and NPCs. We’re still gathering learnings and working on it - but stay tuned." When could Project Rene come out? Without official word from EA, we cannot say for certain when Project Rene will come out. Don't expect it until sometime in 2026 at least, though, as details are scarce on the project as of writing. It's still got a project name, after all. We could be waiting longer, too. Time will tell when the Project Rene release date will be and, hopefully, EA enlightens us on the multiplayer Sims project sooner rather than later.

How to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Go: Names explained
Here's how to get the Eeveelutions - all eight of them...
You know what they say, 'Gotta catch 'em all,' and keeping in with Pokémon tradition, we have how to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Go and the names needed explained. If you would rather be shown what to do to get the Eeveelutions rather than read through our guide, we have a handy video above for your viewing pleasure. A word of warning, though, getting all eight Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Go requires quite the time investment, but our help should speed things up. It'll be well worth it, too, as Eevee and its Eeveevolutions are some of the most beloved Pokémon of all since the first three variants were introduced to the world back in Pokémon Red and Blue for the original Game Boy in 1996, the first games in the long-running series. But as the different Eeveelutions are all different Pokémon types, we'll need different items for each. And with so much to get through, let's not dilly-dally! What does Eevee evolve into in Pokémon Go? When Pokémon was first released, Eevee only had three evolutions: Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon were one of the original 151 Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Red and Blue in 1996. However, as the years have gone by and more games have come out, more evolutions for the popular Eevee have been released, bringing the grand total of possible evolutions up to eight(!) – more than any other Pokémon. Each Eevee evolution is a different type, so choose carefully: Vaporeon (Water-type) Jolteon (Electric-type) Flareon (Fire-type) Umbreon (Dark-type) Espeon (Psychic-type) Leafeon (Grass-type) Glaceon (Ice-type) Sylveon (Fairy-type) Reckon you're a Pokémon master? Pit your wits against our Pokémon quiz below! View Riddle on the source website How to evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon Evolving Eevee in the main Pokémon games requires special items, moves and friendship levels – however, in Pokémon Go Eevee can be evolved by feeding it 25 Eevee candy. You can get Eevee candy from catching Eevees, walking with one as a buddy Pokémon and hatching eggs. You can get more for transferring Eevees to Professor Willow! However, this method will only evolve Eevee into either Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon at random - if you want a specific evolution, you'll have to try another way... How to evolve Eevee using names By changing the name of your Eevee before you feed it 25 candies, you can get the specific Eevee evolution of your choice. Simply rename your Eevee with the name below that corresponds with your desired evolution, and voila, you'll have your Eevee evolution of choice once you feed it 25 candy: Vaporeon - Rainer Jolteon - Sparky Flareon - Pyro Umbreon - Tamao Espeon - Sakura Leafeon - Linnea Glaceon - Rea Sylveon - Kira These are not random names, either, but rather a nod to the long-running anime TV show. The name trick only works once per evolution, however - for example, if you obtain a Vaporeon through this method, you can't get a second Vaporeon by changing the name of another Eevee, and will have to use a different method instead. How to evolve Eevee into Espeon and Umbreon You can use the name trick if it's an Espeon or Umbreon you're after – but you can also use the method originally used when the two were introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver. This involved increasing the friendship level with your Eevee, which you can do by setting them as your buddy Pokémon and walking 10km with them. Once you've walked 10km, your Eevee will be ready to evolve, but the time of day will affect which evolution you get. Remember, you need 25 Eevee Candies to evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon or Espeon, no matter which method you use. A daytime evolution will gift you an Espeon, whereas an overnight evolution will fittingly provide the Dark-type Umbreon. Unlike the name exploit, however, you can use this method as much as you like! The game will let you know whether your Eevee will evolve into an Umbreon or Espeon with a little symbol next to the 'evolve' section on the game screen. How to evolve Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon The name trick works here once again, but the rather specific method below can be used as many times as you like. Firstly, you'll need a particular item - a Mossy Lure if you want a Leafeon, and a Glacial Lure if you'd like a Glaceon. These lure modules are available in the shop but could also be available as Field Research Rewards. While these lures are usually used to attract certain types of Pokémon, they can also influence your Eevee evolution - place one of the lures on a PokéStop and you'll be able to evolve your Eevee if you remain close enough, with the Mossy Lure causing an evolution into Leafeon and the Glacial Lure into Glaceon. Again, this is a reference to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where Eevee could be evolved by levelling up near a Moss Rock or Ice Rock. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon Sylveon is the latest Eevee evolution, first introduced in Pokémon X & Y in 2013. Sylveon can be obtained by the name trick (using the nickname 'Kira', or by raising its friendship stats. This can be done by gaining 70 buddy hearts, so that your relationship reaches Great Buddy level. This can be done by walking, playing and battling together, taking a snapshot of your Eevee, visiting a new place together or giving them a treat.

How to get Umbreon in Pokémon Go explained
If you're after a good Dark-type Pokémon in Pokémon Go, then there aren't many better choices available than Umbreon. Thankfully, it's also one of the easiest Dark-type Pokémon to get your hands on, but that's only if you know how to do it. There are a couple of different methods you can use to get an Umbreon on Pokémon Go, and while both of them require you to get 25 Eevee Candies, one of them is significantly easier than the other. So, if you're curious how it works, here are the two ways to get Umbreon in Pokémon Go. How to get Umbreon in Pokémon Go explained There are two ways to get an Umbreon in Pokémon Go. One way is by giving an Eevee the nickname 'Tamao', and the other is by becoming friendly with an Eevee set as your Buddy and evolving it at night. How to get an Umbreon with the name trick You can evolve an Eevee with 25 Eevee Candies after naming it 'Tamao'. Simply head into your in-game Pokémon list, locate the Eevee you wish to evolve into an Umbreon and give it the nickname Tamao. To do this, follow these steps: Open Pokémon Go Head into your caught Pokémon menu Find the Eevee you wish to evolve into an Umbreon – you can search for Eevee in the search bar to speed things up! Select the Eevee you want to evolve Press on the pencil icon next to where it says Eevee Delete Eevee's name and type in Tamao Press 'OK' to set Eevee's nickname as Tamao Once this is done, use 25 Eevee Candies to evolve Eevee into an Umbreon. The game should even show you a little shadow icon of Umbreon on the 'Evolve' button! Be aware, however, that once you've used this method once, it won't work again! Evolving a second Eevee that you've nicknamed 'Tamao' will not guarantee that it evolves into Umbreon! How to get an Umbreon without using the name trick You can get an Umbreon by evolving an Eevee you’ve made your Buddy and walked 10km with. This means that you need to make the Eevee you want to evolve into an Umbreon your Buddy. To make an Eevee (or any other Pokémon) your current Buddy in Pokémon Go, simply click on that Pokémon, scroll down to the bottom of their page and hit 'Swap Buddies' – remember to press 'Yes' when it asks if you’re sure you want to swap your Buddy. Once Eevee is your Buddy, walk 10km with them. Walk 10km and then evolve your Buddy Eevee at night to get your desired Umbreon. Remember, you’ll need 25 Eevee Candies to evolve it, but you’ll get plenty from walking with them as your Buddy. If you’re unsure when nighttime is in Pokémon Go, you’ll see that the game tells you on Eevee’s evolve section with a little symbol of the Moon. That’s your cue. Use this same method in the day to get an Espeon!

FNAF games in order: Five Nights at Freddy's release and story timeline
Don't spend five nights deciding what order to play them in.
Since the first game came out in 2014, Five Nights at Freddy's has become a massive hit, racking up nearly a dozen main series games and even getting its own movie adaptation. It can feel pretty daunting trying to break into the series this late on – there are now 11 main entries at this point from creator Scott Cawthon, as well as a number of spin-offs on the side. So, whether you enjoyed the FNAF movie and are keen to see what the games are all about, or just want a refresher, here's all the FNAF games in order of release date! FNAF games in release date order The Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise began back in 2014 and later this year we’re set to be playing its 10th mainline release already. If you’re brand new to the horror game series, it’s recommended that you play them in release date order, just as everyone who has been playing from the start has been doing. Here is the complete list of FNAF games in release date order: Five Nights at Freddy’s (2014 | PC, iOS, Android) Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (2014 | PC, iOS, Android) Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 (2015 | PC, iOS, Android) Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 (2015 | PC, iOS, Android) FNAF World (2016 | PC) Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location (2016 | PC, Android, iOS) Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator (2017 | PC) Ultimate Custom Night (2018 | PC) Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted (2019 | PC, PS4, PS VR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift) Five Nights at Freddy’s: Special Delivery (2019 | iOS, Android) Freddy in Space 2 (2019 | PC, iOS, Android) Security Breach: Fury’s Rage (2021 | PC, iOS, Android) Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach (2021 | PC, PS4, PS5) Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 (2023 | PSVR 2) Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic (2025 | PC, PS5) In the list above, it’s worth pointing out that the games in bold are the main instalments and those not bolded are considered spin-offs. It’s also worth mentioning that the platforms listed are where the games were initially released, you should find most if not all of them available to play on PS4/5, Xbox One/Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. Head to the digital storefront of your choice to find them. FNAF games in story order To play the FNAF games in story order, you’ll need to look out for when each title is set in the universe’s timeline. Fortunately, we know when each game is set. Here’s how to play the Five Nights at Freddy’s games in chronological story order: Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 Widely considered to be the best place to start for FNAF newcomers, the fourth game in the franchise is set the earliest in the overall timeline. Its plot takes place in 1983, which is a good while before the rest of the games. Due to the stark difference in timeline placement, FNAF 4 is in a different setting, too, with you playing as a child in their bedroom hiding from the creepy animatronics rather than a security guard. Buy now on Steam Buy as part of the Core Collection from GAME Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 The next game in chronological story order is FNAF 2. In this one, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has recently opened and you play as a security guard working the night shifts. It’s set four years after the fourth game in 1987 and introduces a couple of new animatronics. Buy now on Steam Buy as part of the Core Collection from GAME Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location The fifth game is the best game to play as number three in story order. It’s a little more difficult to accurately place FNAF Sister Location in the timeline than the games above, but a line in it does reference the closure of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza in ‘87. In Sister Location, you play as a late-night technician in Circus Baby’s Pizza World and, you know, have to survive the creepy animatronics. Buy now on Steam Buy as part of the Core Collection from GAME Five Nights at Freddy’s The original game is the next FNAF title to play in story order. In it, if you haven’t guessed, you need to survive five nights at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Don’t let those animatronics into your office now, whatever you do. It’s definitely set after the second game and most likely around the same time as Sister Location based on references made. Buy now on Steam Buy as part of the Core Collection from GAME Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 FNAF 3 is set 30 years after the closure of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, which means we can place it quite easily as the fifth game to play in story order. In this one, you play as a security guard in Fazbear’s Fright: The Horror Attraction surviving against, yet again, those darned creepy animatronics. You’d think the people of this world would have realised by now not to take on these jobs. Buy now on Steam Buy as part of the Core Collection from GAME Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator This one’s… a bit different. This free-to-play entry bears all the hallmarks of a spin-off but is actually a main instalment within the series canon. The 2D game features Springtrap, which first appeared in FNAF 3, so it has to be set after the events of that game. Download for free on Steam Ultimate Custom Night Another of the more different titles in the series, Ultimate Custom Night is something of a direct sequel to Pizzeria Simulator. The second free-to-play game is highly customisable and features 50 selectable animatronic characters from across seven entries in the franchise. Download for free on Steam Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted Help Wanted recreates moments from the rest of the games in the list above, so it’s easy to place it next in the story timeline order. You can play the game in VR (or not, the choice is yours). Time to be a plucky security guard once more. Buy now on Steam Buy now on CDKeys Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Next up, you can move on to FNAF Security Breach. In this game, you play as a young boy called Gregory who is trapped within Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. Of course, young Gregory has to survive the night against those killer animatronic characters. Buy now on CDKeys Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 The sequel to 2019's VR title Help Wanted, this instalment sees players returning as a brand-new Fazbear employee in charge of managing the Pizzeria. It features a ton of minigames like Bonk a' Bon and Fazerblast for players to set high scores on. Buy now from GAME Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic The latest game in the FNAF series, Secret of the Mimic takes place in Murray's Costume Manor, where players will investigate the mystery of the inventor Edwin Murray. Following clues to find Fazbear's prototype technology, players will come up against the Mimic, which can take the form of any character or costume and stalks the player throughout the manor.

The Witcher 4 release date speculation, platforms, story and trailers
The Witcher 4 is coming, and this is what you need to know.
The Witcher 3 is one of the best games of all time, equally popular with critics and players alike, so it's no surprise that hype for The Witcher 4 is as high as it is. Announced in a surprise reveal at The Game Awards 2024, developer CD Projekt Red sparked a flurry of interest as fans clamour for any information on the game they can get their hands on. Previously dubbed 'Project Polaris' while in pre-production, it's been confirmed that Geralt is no longer our protagonist, with his adopted daughter Ciri taking the reigns. The full release is years away, especially since CDPR is also now working on Cyberpunk 2, so you may want to consider tiding yourself over with Netflix's The Witcher season 4, or even the original novels by Andrzej Sapkowski. But with that, let's take a look at everything you need to know about The Witcher 4, including release date speculation, gameplay info and more. The Witcher 4 release date speculation We don't have a Witcher 4 release date just yet, but we believe it won't come out until at least 2027. That's because while the first cinematic trailer we've got looks fantastic, the process of the game itself will likely be a very different story - since the developer has more than learnt its lesson from Cyberpunk 2077 the detriment of releasing a game too early. Since May 2022, the game was in pre-production - the process of laying out the game's foundations technologically and narratively. While this step is very intensive in its own right, full-scale production - which The Witcher 4 entered in November 2024 - is by far the longest stage, taking anywhere between one to four years, or even longer depending on the scope of the project. What's more, combined with the massive undertaking of developing a huge open-world RPG on a different engine than what they've used before, those aforementioned lessons CDPR learned from the release of Cyberpunk 2077 led to them making significant structural changes in their production - making sure development stages and designs better defined and more cohesive respectively. In addition, CD Projekt Red is no stranger to long lead times for games after the first trailers have dropped. Again taking Cyberpunk 2077 for example, the 2020 dystopian sci-fi RPG took another two and a half years to come out after its first full trailer was dropped at E3 2018. Then again, establishing whole worlds that size for brand-new IPs can take an extremely long time. Then again, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, released in May 2015, had its first trailer revealed in June 2013. That's nowhere near as long a wait, but even if CDPR's improved the production pipeline, it wouldn't come as any surprise if we ended up hearing The Witcher 4 wouldn't come out until late 2027 or even early 2028 instead. What platforms will The Witcher 4 be on? Although CD Projekt Red has yet to confirm platforms, it seems certain that The Witcher 4 will launch on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S. Don't expect it on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch systems, though, given the massive technical limits of the ageing hardware. The Switch successor, aka The Nintendo Switch 2, on the other hand, you never know, but that will depend on its technical capabilities. Nevertheless, we'll update this article as soon as we know more. Read more on The Witcher games: How to download The Witcher 3 next-gen update The Witcher 3 trophies - the full list of achievements The Witcher remake - when's it coming? Can I pre-order The Witcher 4? There's no way to pre-order The Witcher 4 just yet, with the game not having any product pages at online retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy or GAME at the time of writing. You could always buy The Witcher 3 from Amazon if you haven't played it already, of course, or if you just fancy giving it another play-through before the sequel arrives in stores. The Witcher 4 gameplay and story details The Witcher 4 stars Ciri, not Geralt, as its playable protagonist. In the game, Ciri is taking on her own journey to become a professional monster slayer, being a fully-qualified Witcher; she's seemingly gone through the Trial of Grasses - the painful trials of a low survival rate involving potions that alter the nervous system and mutate the body with new abilities, as Geralt went through, shown by the signature cat-like eyes. Little else is known about the game as of now, but what we already know is enough to build the hype. Over on the official Witcher website, CD Projekt Red revealed a little bit more as to what sort of journey you're in for in general: "The Witcher 4 is a single-player, open-world RPG. At the start of a new saga, players take on the role of Ciri, a professional monster slayer, and embark on a journey through a brutal dark-fantasy world," says the developer. "Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it aims to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date." In the game's first official trailer, we see Ciri fighting a seriously creepy monster to save the sacrifice of a young woman. It's like something out of a folk horror movie, and we can't wait to learn more. We see Ciri struggle in the fight until she swigs from a flask which gives her Witcher-y powers. It's a very fitting moment since it's one of the signature tropes we'd seen from the past Witcher games and trailers featuring Geralt when fighting horrific beasts. Unfortunately, we're yet to see any gameplay, but we can expect some elements from those in the trailer, like the chain around Ciri's wrist, to make it into the actual game. In June 2025, CD Projekt Red showcased the game in an Unreal Engine tech demo following the studio's move to the engine. While the demo itself garnered a huge amount of praise from fans, especially once it was revealed that it was apparently captured on a base PS5 console, it does not show gameplay capture, so is by no means representative of how the game will actually look. Either way, it's still worth checking out! View oEmbed on the source website Is there a The Witcher 4 trailer? Yes, there is a The Witcher 4 trailer, which debuted at The Game Awards in December 2024. The six minute long cinematic reveal trailer has it all. Intrigue, creepy monsters, folk horror and Ciri, who is the star this time instead of Geralt. It's definitely worth a watch: View oEmbed on the source website Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

GTA 6 price rumours explained: How much will GTA 6 cost?
Despite being delayed, GTA 6 is still the game that has the most hype around it at the moment. The game is over a decade in the making, so it's no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting its 2026 release date. But while the hype is high, there's one thing about the game that plenty of players are worried about - how much will GTA 6 cost? With Trailer 2 and GTA 5 tiding players over till the release next year, we're going to take a look at what we know about the GTA 6 price, and how much it could cost according to industry trends and the developers themselves. GTA 6 price rumours explained: How much will GTA 6 cost? Naturally, we won't actually know how much GTA 6 will cost until it's announced by Rockstar itself, but we expect it to cost around £70 / $80. With the recent rise in game prices across all consoles, this price point has become the new standard for the biggest releases in gaming, such as Mario Kart World. Given how poorly received this price increase has already been among players, we think it would be unlikely that another price increase would be implemented only a year later, even despite the sky-high GTA 6 budget. That being said, considering the anticipation for GTA 6, if ever there was a game that could justify a higher price point and actually get away with it, this is probably the one. That's especially true once you consider comments made by Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick at their Q2 2024 earnings call, suggesting that games should be priced individually according to "expected entertainment usage". Zelnick explained that the pricing algorithm, as it were, "is the value of the expected entertainment usage, which is to say that the per-hour value times the number of expected hours plus the terminal value that's perceived by the customer in ownership if the title is actually owned, not, say, rented or subscribed to". Zelnick continued, adding: "By that standard, our frontline prices are still very, very low, because we offer many hours of engagement." Before you get worried about Take-Two pricing GTA 6 based on a per-hour metric (which would be astronomical considering how many hours you can enjoy a GTA game), he does conclude that "it's our strategy here to deliver much more value than what we charge consumers". He added: "There have been precious few price increases in the business. The price increase, for example, the $70 for certain frontline products was the first price increase in many years after many generations. So, again, I think we offer a terrific value to consumers." So, yes, there is a chance that GTA 6 could cost $100 or more, as some people are worried about (and indeed, as some CEOs are reportedly hoping for according to IGN), but we think it's likely that Rockstar will settle on that £70 / $80 mark in the end.

Will there be a Last of Us Part 3? What the developers say about sequel
We don't know if we can take the emotion of a third game.
Since The Last of Us Part 2 came out in 2020, developer Naughty Dog has since remade the first game, and even remastered Part 2 in 2022 - but where's The Last of Us Part 3? At one point, it was known that Naughty Dog was hard at work on a The Last of Us multiplayer game, which has since been cancelled. With the studio now working on Intergalactic, it seems as if The Last of Us 3 may never arrive, which would be strange given how hugely popular the series has been. That's especially true now, following the adaptation of the games into HBO's excellent The Last of Us TV series. So, will there be a The Last of Us Part 3? Read on to find out what the developers themselves have said. Will there be a Last of Us Part 3? Unfortunately, it now appears unlikely that there will be a Last of Us Part 3. While head of Naughty Dog Neil Druckmann had previously hinted that there would be a third instalment to come, he has now explained that prospects for a long-awaited Last of Us Part 3 are not looking promising. "I was waiting for this question. I guess the only thing I would say is don't bet on there being more Last of Us. This could be it," he replied when asked about Part 3 in an interview with Variety. This will likely come as a shock to many fans given the tremendous success of the games, and more recently the widespread acclaim garnered by The Last of Us TV show. Druckmann's previous comments in a YouTube documentary about the creation of The Last of Us Part 2 suggested that The Last of Us Part 3 was being worked on, or at least being thought about. At the end of the Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II documentary, Druckmann explained his thought process behind a third game, detailing the need for a concept. He said: "For years, I haven't been able to find that concept. But recently that's changed. I don't have a story, but I do have a concept that, to me, is as exciting as one, as exciting as two, is its own thing, yet has this through-line for all three." He added: "It does feel like there's probably one more chapter to this story." Skip to 1:56:35 in the video below (it should auto-play from that point) to hear Druckmann's thoughts in full: View oEmbed on the source website Plans for the game had begun as early as 2021, with Druckmann explaining on the Script Apart podcast (thanks, IGN), that he and co-writer Halley Gross had written an outline for a story. Druckmann noted at the time that Naughty Dog "is not making" the game yet, but he has hopes that their idea "can see the light of day" eventually. He added that the story outline for Part 3 which was written "explores a little bit what happens after" TLOU 2. Druckmann is quick to point out, however, that "these [TLOU] games take so much to make" and that "you want to make sure you’re jazzed by the idea that you have, [that] it feels like it’s challenging". By November 2023, however, it felt as though Naughty Dog itself wasn't in much of a hurry. Speaking to Nick Romano for Entertainment Weekly, Druckmann said: "The Last of Us is obviously a world I love deeply, and [I] know our studio and fans do as well, but I have no comment at this moment on the series's future beyond our focus on The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered." He added: "We have other projects in the works at Naughty Dog," likely in reference to the now-revealed Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. View Green Video on the source website Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of The Last of Us TV show's premiere, Druckmann couldn't reveal if Part 3 is in the works at Naughty Dog, but said: "I think there’s more story to tell." Given the seven-year gap between Part 1 and Part 2, and the increasingly long production times in gaming as a whole, a prospective Last of Us Part 3 would undoubtedly require a similar development time, if not longer, and perhaps was regarded as a bridge too far for the moment. He adds that Naughty Dog takes "a long time to explore different ideas, whether it’s going to be Last of Us 3, whether it’s something new, whether there’s some old franchise" it wants to go back to, meaning that while The Last of Us Part 3 may not currently be in the works, it's not out of the question for the studio to return to it in future. In May 2025, Druckmann confirmed during the Press X to Continue podcast that he was working on a second, unannounced project at Naughty Dog, alongside Intergalactic. It is currently unknown what this project is, and there is a chance that it could be The Last of Us Part 3, but even if it is, it won't be along for a while, as Naughty Dog tends to focus their resources heavily on one project at a time. Former Naughty Dog president Evan Wells described this in 2021, stating that at the time, Naughty Dog had "multiple projects, but only one that is getting the lion's share of focus at any time". A few years ago, we would have been shocked at the idea of The Last of Us Part 3 never being made, but now only time will tell if it ever sees the light of day. What are our Last of Us 3 predictions? Seeing as there may be many years ahead before The Last of Us Part 3 comes to fruition, if it does at all, we'll try our hand at some predictions and speculation to see where the story might go. Before we continue, however, be aware that major spoilers lie ahead. As Ellie may hold the key to saving humanity with her immunity to the cordyceps fungus, she may choose to sacrifice herself in the hopes that a cure may be found and undo Joel's actions from the first game. It might not just be altruism that leads her to this decision. Ellie has lost a lot and killed many in her life. We've already seen just how much of a toll this has taken on her. Allowing herself to die may feel like more of a relief and an atonement for the sins committed in her name and by her own hand. Other characters, such as Lev, may have their stories explored further, or perhaps a new character will take centre stage. A third game may even explore the fight for power in a world filled with new hope in the way of a vaccine, should one be found. Even if it were, it might not be able to be made in significant quantities, causing outrage. Who would get it first? Would those who have committed terrible crimes, such as bandits, cannibals or members of FEDRA be acquitted or punished? All these factions would no doubt fight back if denied a vaccine. FEDRA may even position themselves to reinstate the United States government's control, though their numbers are lacking. Whether a third game comes together at all is another thing, but if it does, there'd be plenty to explore!

Ghost of Yōtei release date confirmed: Latest news on Tsushima 2
Ghost of Tsushima 2 in spirit, if not in name, Ghost of Yōtei's release date has finally been confirmed by developer Sucker Punch Studios.

If you're as excited as we are to jump into a new era of Japan, keep reading to find out when the Ghost of Yōtei release date is, as well as info on pre-orders, gameplay, the trailer and more! Ghost of Yōtei release date The Ghost of Yōtei release date is Thursday 2nd October 2025, Sony has confirmed. Since its initial announcement, the game has always been slated for this year. Here's hoping there won't be any delays. With the GTA 6 release date having now been delayed until 2026, Ghost of Yōtei is now perhaps the biggest game set to launch towards the end of 2025. Can I pre-order Ghost of Yōtei? Yes, Ghost of Yōtei is now available for pre-orders.

View Green Video on the source website Which consoles and platforms can play Ghost of Yōtei? Ghost of Yōtei is playable on PS5 and is a console exclusive. This means it is not available on PS4 and, as of its reveal, not on PC either. Ghost of Tsushima eventually launched on PC and now sits alongside many a PlayStation game on Steam and Epic Games Store. We’d be surprised if Yōtei doesn’t launch on PC at some point in the future, too. For now, though, Ghost of Yōtei is a PS5 exclusive. Ghost of Yōtei gameplay and story details Ghost of Yōtei is a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, so you can expect similar gameplay to the original but with a few new bells and whistles. The game will see new female protagonist, Ghost Atsu, taking centre stage. A press release from Sony has teased her story with some new details. The official description says: "Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo (called Hokkaido in present day), a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six took everything from Atsu. "They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito. "One by one, she’s hunting them down to avenge her family, armed with the same katana used to pin her to that burning tree all those years ago. "But while Atsu’s story begins with vengeance, she’ll find there’s more to her journey than just revenge. As she explores Ezo, Atsu will meet unlikely allies and forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose." Is there a Ghost of Yōtei trailer? Yes, there is a Ghost of Yōtei trailer!

How to get Cresselia in Pokémon Go: Raid Battle dates, weakness and counters
Cresselia is back as a raid boss in Pokémon Go! This strong Lunar Pokémon will prove a challenge in Pokémon Go as it appears as part of a five-star Raid Battle that’s recommended to be taken on by a team of three or four players. With a moveset that includes Psycho Cut, Confusion and Futuresight (to name a few options), you’ll need to make sure your teams of Pokémon are put together to counter Cresselia’s strengths and punish its weaknesses. Luckily, we’re here with a list of tips to help you out in your quest to defeat the legendary Pokémon. Doing so rewards you with a chance to catch it (along with a selection of special items), so why wouldn’t you give it a try? Read on for our Pokémon Go Cresselia Raid Battle guide and to learn how to counter against the legendary Psychic-type with our tips. When is Cresselia available in Pokémon Go Raid Battles? Cresselia is obtainable in Pokémon Go raids from Monday 21st April to Thursday 1st May at 10am local time wherever you live. To maximise your chances of finding a Cresselia Raid Battle, a Raid Hour is set to take place on Wednesday 23rd April between 6pm and 7pm in your local time zone. Of course, defeating a Cresselia in a Raid Battle will earn you the chance to catch it. That's the only way to get one right now, besides trading! Pokémon Go Cresselia Raid Battle guide To defeat Cresselia in Pokémon Go, you need to counter against its Psychic-type moves with Bug, Dark and Ghost-type attacks. If you’re smart and learn its strengths and weaknesses before entering the Raid Battle, you can take Cresselia down. Pokémon Go Cresselia Raid Battle weaknesses Cresselia is weak to Bug, Dark and Ghost-type attacks. It’s best you load your team with Pokémon which can use powerful versions of moves of these three types. If you and your friends head into the five-star Raid Boss Battle with moves including Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball, Bit, Brutal Swing, Dark Pulse, Bug Bite, Fury Cutter and X-Scissor, you should be able to punish Cresselia’s weaknesses. Make sure your chosen Pokémon are not weak to Psychic-type attacks, too. So don’t bother with a Fighting or Poison-Type Pokémon. View Green Video on the source website Pokémon Go Cresselia Cresselia Raid Battle counters The best Pokémon Go Cresselia counters include Mega Gengar, Mega Banette, Hydreigon, Darkrai, Mega Pinsir and Mega Beedrill. Tyranitar is another good choice, too. If you don’t have any of these Pokémon, however, remember to pick those that know Dark, Bug and/or Ghost-type moves. It’s worth noting, too, that Cresselia will be easier to defeat during Fog and Rainy weather, as these will boost Dark and Ghost-type and Bug-type counters respectively. As always, if you don’t have any strong Pokémon that use Ghost, Dark or Bug-type moves, it’s best to pick Pokémon that aren’t weak to Psychic attacks. Keeping an eye on Cresselia’s Psychic, Fairy and Ice-type charge attacks is a good idea, too. With Fairy and Ice-type charge attacks in its arsenal, it’s probably best to avoid selecting Flying, Ground, Grass and Dragon-type Pokémon.

Assassin’s Creed games in historical order If you want to play the Assassin’s Creed games in the order of their historical settings, this is the way to go: Assassin's Creed Odyssey (431-422 BC) Assassin's Creed Origins (49-43 BC) Assassin's Creed Mirage (861 AD) Assassin's Creed Valhalla (872-878 AD) Assassin's Creed (1191 AD) Assassin's Creed II (1476-1499 AD) Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (1499-1507 AD) Assassin's Creed: Revelations (1511-1512 AD) Assassin's Creed Shadows (1579 AD) Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (1715-1722 AD) Assassin's Creed Rogue (1752-1760 AD) Assassin's Creed III (1754-1783 AD) Assassin's Creed Unity (1789-1794 AD) Assassin's Creed Syndicate (1868 AD) Assassin’s Creed games in story timeline order While you can opt to play the games in the order of their settings (see above), it’s arguably best to play them in the story order of the modern-day protagonists. This is the main way the franchise ties each of its games to each other outside of the Ezio trilogy (II, Brotherhood and Revelations). The modern-day chronology is simple enough to follow, with each new game since launch carrying on that particular plot. This is how to play the Assassin’s Creed games in story timeline order of the modern-day protagonists: Assassin's Creed Assassin's Creed II Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Assassin's Creed: Revelations Assassin's Creed III Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Assassin's Creed Rogue Assassin's Creed Unity Assassin's Creed Syndicate Assassin's Creed Origins Assassin's Creed Odyssey Assassin's Creed Valhalla Assassin's Creed Mirage Assassin's Creed Shadows You'll find more detail on all the games below. Assassin’s Creed (1191 AD) The 2007 original that started it all. Assassin’s Creed follows modern-day Desmond Miles as he enters the Animus to take control of his ancestor, 12th-century assassin Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad, during the Third Crusade of the Holy Land as he looks to recover an artefact from the Templars. Buy Assassin’s Creed on Amazon Assassin’s Creed II (1476-1499 AD) In the second game, Desmond’s modern-day plot continues - but this time he uses the Animus to take control of another one of his assassin ancestors, Italian Ezio Auditore da Firenze, during the height of the Renaissance (between 1476-1499). Ezio’s on a mission of revenge against those who killed his brothers and father. Buy Assassin’s Creed II on Amazon (part of the Ezio Collection) Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (1499-1507 AD) Brotherhood is a direct sequel to Assassin’s Creed II and continues the story of Ezio. This time around, Desmond is back to stop the 2012 apocalypse from taking place. You play as Ezio during the Italian Wars (1500-1507) in an attempt to rebuild the Assassin Brotherhood in the country. Buy Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (part of the Ezio Collection) from Amazon Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (1511-1512 AD) Revelations is the final entry in the Ezio Auditore trilogy of games. In it, you play as an older Ezio, between 1511-1512. You need to find five keys to unlock a library built by Altaïr. Buy Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (as part of the Ezio Collection) on Amazon Assassin’s Creed III (1754-1783 AD) Assassin’s Creed III is the final game in the Desmond timeline, and brings to an end the first modern-day story of the series. In it, he enters into the Animus once more to take control of his ancestor Ratonhnhaké:ton (or, Connor) as part of the ongoing search to stop the 2012 apocalypse from taking place. This game is set in the Colonial America of 1754-1783 and tells the tale of a father and son pitted against each other (one’s a leading Templar, the other an assassin). The American Revolution backdrop makes for some stunning set pieces. Buy Assassin’s Creed III on Amazon Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (1715-1722 AD) Building and expanding upon many of the new exploration and hunting mechanics first found in III, Black Flag is the first game in the series without modern-day protagonist Desmond Miles. Instead, you play as an unnamed Abstergo employee, and Welsh pirate Edward Kenway (grandfather of Connor in III) in his search for The Observatory. Edward’s pirate adventures take him across the West Indies during the Golden Age of Piracy (1715-1722), and give us a massive map to explore, full of lush environments and loot to plunder. Buy Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag now from Amazon Assassin’s Creed Rogue (1752-1760 AD) Rogue follows the line of story in III and Black Flag. What sets it apart from the rest of the series is that you play as a Templar, and not an assassin. In it, you take the form of Numbskull, an Abstergo employee doing the bidding of Templars in the modern day. In the historical setting, you play as Shay Patrick Cormac before and during the French and Indian War (between 1752-1760) within North America (New York, Port-au-Prince and more). Shay is on a quest to hunt down the assassins for the Templars. Buy Assassin’s Creed Rogue on Amazon Assassin’s Creed Unity (1789-1794 AD) This entry into the series is set in Paris during the French Revolution (between 1789-1794). It sold itself on being more condensed than Black Flag, with co-op gameplay, but sadly became famous for its long list of bugs. In it, you play as assassin Arno Dorian, whose father was killed by Shay Patrick Cormac in Rogue. In its modern-day setting, you witness the events of an unnamed Helix player. It tells the tale of vengeance, of course - something the series is becoming known for by this point. Buy Assassin’s Creed Unity from Amazon Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (1868 AD) Featuring the same unnamed Helix player in Unity, Syndicate is set in London in 1868, and up to the First World War in 1916. In it, you play as Jacob and Evie Frye (assassin twins) on a hunt for a Piece of Eden hidden in 19th Century London. Buy Assassin’s Creed Syndicate on Amazon Assassin’s Creed Origins (49-43 BC) Origins is the first of a new set of Assassin’s Creed games following the modern-day exploits of Layla Hassan. The game represents a reboot for the franchise, in that it largely ditches the assassinations in favour of a big, open-world RPG with reworked combat and levelling up systems. In it, you control assassin Bayek of Siwa (well, a forerunner of an assassin, anyway) in Ancient Egypt, between 49-43 BC. Bayek is seeking revenge over the death of his son and the origins of the Hidden Ones and Order of the Ancients is discovered. Buy Assassin’s Creed Origins from Amazon Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (431-422 BC) Set furthest back in history, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey continues Layla Hassan’s modern-day plot (now looking to find the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus and the lost city of Atlantis) and sees us take control of either Cassandra or Alexios (the other is the antagonist) in Ancient Greece — during the Peloponnesian War between 431-422 BC. Buy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on Amazon Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (872-878 AD) The conclusion of Layla Hassan’s modern-day story, Valhalla sees you play as Viking raider Eivor Varinsdottir/Varinsson during the Viking invasions of Britain between 872-878 AD. In it, your aim is to establish a new Viking clan in England, and it sees the return of the Assassin Brotherhood and Templar Order’s battles against one another. Buy Assassin’s Creed Valhalla from Amazon Assassin’s Creed Mirage (861 AD) Mirage is a return to the roots of the series, moving away from the massive RPG gameplay of Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. It’s set in 9th-century Baghdad and follows the story of Basim Ibn Ishaq (who is introduced in Valhalla). It's a prequel to Valhalla, being set a decade earlier. You can play this and Valhalla in either order, although we think it's best to play Valhalla first, as release date order works best chronologically, too. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubisoft-Assassins-Creed-Mirage-PS5/dp/B0BDG4TDZC/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1G1Q07PXFN682&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Kh-LmeSEANVU9AqTD8jRFd5LuphZqkjm3YeZen_n7LW3BFcY-4AwX_ImHWEukhzaqTb-SLON8SzbvzP5almHxn6pEvI5cqkPCYXhtaXXnJ_Cqz_GJax3QRY13xNqbnBuXm-a6n5A8doQEDYGLTAw-oBh3LZcRqBC3UUXnwdVYQZElRSmuppq5bKCiFCx_XUQd7QFeKlZQsfGbYxxSunEWXekpk0zdq9aKChgixzkAtE.BDT1Nq7SPKw2XER5lk0i3HLuMy9qiePncvCO_L6glBA&dib_tag=se&keywords=assassin%27s%2Bcreed%2Bmirage&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1734439480&sprefix=assassin%27s%2Bcreed%2Bmirag%2Caps%2C130&sr=8-2&th=1&tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-1853736" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Buy Assassin’s Creed Mirage on Amazon Assassin's Creed Shadows (1579 AD) Going back to the RPG-ness of Odyssey, Origins and Valhalla, Assassin's Creed Shadows is set in feudal Japan. In it, you play as two protagonists, able to switch between them when you like: Shinobi assassin Naoe and Samurai Yasuke. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Assassins-Shadows-Limited-Exclusive-Amazon-uk/dp/B0D361BNCB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=12MPPRJ43H0BO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NpffX4x6IEkZ-zKS9DsxMzjVW1c5HG9BbINZkYnnFzU7orwn9drVWtStARdBSOGEvSKKi_zgWg7ULYAtp2sdpElfjXTg0fnjJU2FtddnHoaJ2a2xyIqG9PrXLQujkkdOIUSU97FlnmwTnEuDTZZFK811VP2sP2aB8-WIwlLcpNCfJ8reS3-sGB39Zo6U6zyBTTOc5p-BrWiW51oCtc0mPSHTBw-Xaxpv94UDebvcRJ8.FjSA-m37ENNAdu0xAkZ-SjTSg6eRWtucWphXv68XuW8&dib_tag=se&keywords=assassin%27s%2Bcreed%2Bshadows&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1734439514&sprefix=assassin%27s%2Bcreed%2Bshadows%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1&tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-1853736" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Buy Assassin's Creed Shadows from Amazon Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Assassin's Creed Shadows: Release date, pre-order and latest news
With the delays out of the way, the Assassin's Creed Shadows release date is now right around the corner. And as players get their pre-orders in, the excitement is building for launch day as the series heads to Japan for the very first time. Although it perhaps won't be quite as long as Valhalla and Odyssey were, Shadows promises a huge map with plenty for players to do as they tackle Naoe and Yasuke's story. So if you're wondering when you can jump into the action, we've got you covered. When is the Assassin's Creed Shadows release date? Assassin's Creed Shadows will be released on 20th March 2025. You can also play Assassin’s Creed Shadows three days early if you purchase the appropriate edition of the game, which we will cover in the next section. The original release date was meant to be in November 2024. Still, Ubisoft has decided to delay the game. Since then, it has now been delayed again, but only by a month, to apply more of the feedback received from the community. View Green Video on the source website When is the UK launch time for Assassin's Creed Shadows? When Assassin's Creed Shadows launches in the UK actually depends on what platform you're on, and on PC, even what launcher you're using. For PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players, Assassin's Creed Shadows will launch at 12am local time on 20th March. This means that, while you'll have to wait for midnight to play it in the UK, you could play it a bit earlier by changing your console's time zone to New Zealand, where it will release at 11am GMT on 19th March. As for PC players, the game will have a simultaneous global release (so no New Zealand trick), but has different launch times depending on whether you're using Ubisoft Connect or not. Steam and Epic Games Store players in the UK will be able to play Shadows from 4am GMT on 20th March. Ubisoft Connect players on the other hand will be able to play a bit earlier, from 10pm GMT on 19th March instead. Can I pre-order Assassin's Creed Shadows? Yes, you can pre-order Assassin's Creed Shadows right now. If you do so, you will be awarded the bonus quest Thrown to the Dogs, regardless of which version you purchase. There are three editions to choose from: the Standard Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition and Collector's Edition. Standard Edition Base game Pre-order Bonus (Thrown to the Dogs Quest) Digital Deluxe Edition Base game Pre-order Bonus (Thrown to the Dogs Quest) Access to upcoming Claws of Awaji expansion The Sekiryu Character Pack including gear and weapon sets for both Naoe and Yasuke, the Sekiryu Beast, and Dragon Tooth trinket The Sekiryu Hideout Pack containing ornaments to customise your hideout Five Mastery Points Collector's Edition (GAME/GameStop exclusive) All of the above and the following items: Naoe and Yasuke dual character statue (about 40 centimeters/15.7 inches) Unique steelbook case Collector’s art book (84 pages) Naoe’s katana tsuba (life-sized) World map Creed wall scroll (70x30 centimeters/27.6x11.8 inches) Two sumi-e lithographs (13.5x19 centimeters/5.3x7.5 inches) Below, you can check out where to pre-order all editions of the game: Assassin's Creed Shadows PC pre-orders Pre-order the Collector’s Edition from GAME Pre-order the Standard Edition, the Gold Edition or Ultimate Edition from CDKeys Pre-order the Standard, Gold or Ultimate Editions from Ubisoft Assassin's Creed Shadows PS5 pre-orders Pre-order the Collector’s Edition from GAME Pre-order the Standard Edition from GAME Pre-order the Limited/Special Edition from Amazon or GAME Pre-order the Gold Edition from <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubisoft-G1/dp/B0D36H4TK2/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2PPELB0N7VN1P&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wGrNeI7X3P5WvvzkXeDhtV-7i2-Pc5Z0lT-6DYzeqR4Amj9RGxQzyRxvf9xJMyPB37GPEQ2uDgU7bkyw9YGqI3NpqebXQ6KYD9tfcWpxpqkXSziBT-MnzF-ysNbdLEZpZgxXktKgCCuhr5I0w7D9MCwLldwtiZ9NqsNRD10vCAKf8sgWmKpkhnyPXz5KJDUKPuT3vMoBsma4qzzHj2-kiGUZKjSdBb0qO9jE78QiABA.GeqNadXFr4zKUnfj9b1iZLfoQ5ewtlaSYxoeeiBnSFw&dib_tag=se&keywords=assassin%27s+creed+shadows&qid=1715876898&sprefix=assassin%27s+creed+shadows%2Caps%2C229&sr=8-2&tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-2042360" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Amazon or GAME Pre-order the Ultimate Edition from the PlayStation Store Assassin's Creed Shadows Xbox Series X/S pre-orders Pre-order the Collector’s Edition from GAME Pre-order the Standard Edition, the Gold Edition or Ultimate Edition from CDKeys Pre-order the Standard Edition (physical copy) from GAME Pre-order the Limited/Special Edition (physical copy) from Amazon or GAME Pre-order the Gold Edition (physical copy) from Amazon or GAME Assassin's Creed Shadows MacOS pre-orders Pre-order Assassin's Creed Shadows from the Mac App Store Which consoles and platforms can play Assassin's Creed Shadows? Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be available to play on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and MacOS. Unlike other Apple Silicone ports such as Resident Evil Village and 4 or Death Stranding, which came some time after their respective launches, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on MacOS alongside the other game versions, making it quite the coup for Apple. There has been a big push from the Cupertino tech giant, as their latest Macs have pretty powerful gaming chops when appropriately utilised. Hopefully, we will see more games come to Macs and iPhones, as there is no doubt a huge market there to tap into - which could go some way to alleviating the financial pressures developers have been facing lately. Assassin's Creed Shadows gameplay and story details View oEmbed on the source website Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in feudal Japan and sees players take control of two characters – Naoe and Yasuke – as the political landscape around them shifts. Naoe is a shinobi Assassin who favours stealth and lurks in the shadows. In contrast, Yasuke, a legendary figure from Japanese history, is a formidable samurai who prefers confrontation. During Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the game progresses into winter, bringing its host of pros and cons – especially for Naoe. Snow will crumple loudly underfoot, and hanging icicles can snap and fall as you walk on rooftops, but so too do the snowstorms conceal her from her enemies. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website What Ubisoft has said about controversy surrounding historical accuracy Some people have been flooding X (formerly known as Twitter) and other social media platforms with comments bemoaning the inclusion of Yasuke as a playable character in Assassin's Creed Shadows, citing historical inaccuracy. Ubisoft has released a message to put the issue to bed once and for all. In the message from the developer – which you can read in full – Ubisoft explains that it has "put significant effort into ensuring an immersive and respectful representation of Feudal Japan". "However, our intention has never been to present any Assassin's Creed games, including Assassin's Creed Shadows, as factual representations of history, or historical characters. "Instead, we aim to spark curiosity and encourage players to explore and learn more about the historical settings we get inspired by." It is historical fiction. The apology in full follows: "Our team extensively collaborated with external consultants, historians, researchers and internal teams at Ubisoft Japan to inform our creative choices. "Despite these sustained efforts, we acknowledge that some elements in our promotional materials have caused concern within the Japanese community. For this, we sincerely apologise. "All game footage presented so far is in development, and the game will keep evolving until launch. Based on the constructive criticism we have received, we will continue our efforts until we put this game into your hands – and beyond." Interestingly, the game will be somewhat censored in Japan – but not due to historical inaccuracy. Japan's CERO rating system refused to give it even the top Z certificate (18+), due to the graphic violence. So, if you buy Assassin’s Creed Shadows in Japan, don't expect any dismemberings! Is there an Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer? View oEmbed on the source website Indeed, you can check out the cinematic trailer above! However, this is just a CGI trailer and doesn’t offer us a glimpse of any actual gameplay. Still, it’s exciting to see what Ubisoft has in store for us, and it’s great to see that those who miss the more stealth-orientated days of Assassin’s Creed are well-catered for while also keeping the more action-packed gameplay of recent titles. View oEmbed on the source website The trailer above gives a much more detailed look at gameplay, showing off the world of Japan, as well as the difference between the two characters. One of the most interesting aspects of the trailer is the use of shadows and how the seasons will impact how players approach objectives.

We imagine we’ll have events to play through in Pokémon Go and Pokémon TCG Pocket, too. During the Pokémon Presents 2025 live stream, we’re expecting a much-needed update on Pokémon Legends Z-A – will it come to Switch 2? Dragonite and the Postman We'll also see more of Dragonite and the Postman, a new anime that releases on Pokémon Day. There's every chance the anime is released either during or after the broadcast.

It’s been three years since Scarlet/Violet was released, and there has been a new generation of Pokémon RPGs every three years since Black and White back in 2010.

Monster Hunter Wilds release date: UK launch time and latest news
With the Monster Hunter Wilds release date one short day away, we can't help but gaze in awe at Capcom's recent output. Barely a year after Dragon's Dogma 2, they're dropping yet another massive fantasy RPG. There's a lot to be excited about, and many think it could contend with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for game of the year. So let's take a look at all we know about Monster Hunter Wilds, from its release date and time, to pre-order info, to trailers. When is the Monster Hunter Wilds release date? The Monster Hunter Wilds release date is 28th February 2025, Capcom has confirmed! The follow-up to 2018's Monster Hunter: World looks to incorporate the same sort of gameplay; crafting, exploring the biomes, and, of course, hunting. But when exactly can you start playing? The answer to that can be found below. View oEmbed on the source website When is the Monster Hunter Wilds UK release time? Over here in the UK, Monster Hunter Wilds launches in the UK at 12am GMT for console players and 5am GMT for PC. So whether you're console or PC, the game should be live for you in the early stages of Friday morning! The launch time will be different if you live in another country, with the developers providing the official map below: View oEmbed on the source website Also, you've got the option to pre-load the game now. This is a great idea if you want to jump right in the moment it releases. Can I pre-order Monster Hunter Wilds? You can pre-order digital copies of Monster Hunter Wilds on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and Steam. If you shop around, you might find a decent discount — for example, we can see that CD Keys has knocked 25 per cent off the price. All digital pre-orders come with the Guild Knight Set and Talisman Hope Charm in-game items. Pre-order a digital copy of the game on the PlayStation Store and you’ll receive the Monster Hunter Wilds Digital Mini Artbook (PS5 exclusive) too. You can also pick up the Digital Deluxe Edition (adds a Deluxe Pack) and Premium Deluxe Edition (which comes with everything in the Deluxe Pack, plus Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 and 2, and a Premium Bonus). Which consoles and platforms can play Monster Hunter Wilds? Monster Hunter Wilds is available to buy and play on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Sorry, Switch owners, you’re missing out on Wilds after the fantastic Monster Hunter Rise launched on the platform. The game is also not on PS4 or Xbox One. It’s current-gen only. For now, expect to be able to play Monster Hunter Rise on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC only. Time will tell if the game makes its way onto the Nintendo Switch successor or not. Monster Hunter Wilds gameplay and story details Monster Hunter Wilds is a direct follow-up to Monster Hunter World, rather than Rise. This means you can expect it to have several large (see, bigger than in any previous Monster Hunter game) open-world biomes that you can freely explore. Yes, you’ll be able to move seamlessly between these biomes and your hunter village base. It’s an evolution of the formula players know and love from World. You’ll track and fight massive beasts, craft weapons, eat food and work with other players online to do it all. Don’t worry, you can play alone alongside CPU-controlled characters. Use a flare to bring others in to help the hunt. New to Wilds is the Seikret Mount. Similar to the Canynes introduced in Rise, you can mount and ride Seikrets in Wilds. You can fight while riding one, too – and they can carry two weapons for you. Neat. Speaking of weapons, all weapon types from World return in Wilds. The focus mode will help you pinpoint the weaknesses of monsters. Monster behaviour looks more cunning than ever (it’s even impacted by in-game weather), so you might need to focus. Expect new and returning monsters in Wilds as you attempt to fulfil your duty as a hunter in these new Forbidden Lands. It’s time to survive, thrive, and find out what’s going on in the living world of the Forbidden Lands. Is there a Monster Hunter Wilds trailer? Yes, there are a few Monster Hunter Wilds trailers online as of writing, but we’ve included the latest – the release date reveal trailer – below. It’s well worth checking out, and details the game’s story, environments, monsters, gameplay and characters.

Will Avowed come to PS5? Xbox exclusivity explained
Will Avowed come to PS5? That's one question that remains on the minds of PlayStation owners hoping to get their hands on Avowed in the not-too-distant future. Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG is filled with excellent build mechanics alongside several endings that add a unique twist to the path players take through each chapter. With Xbox continuing to release its exclusive titles on other platforms, there's a possibility of Avowed heading onto Sony's consoles. So where does Avowed stand on the spectrum of exclusivity? Keep on reading for everything there is to know about Avowed's potential PS5 release. Did Avowed come to PS5 at launch? No, Avowed did not release on PS5 as of the game’s launch. You cannot currently play Avowed on PS5. The only way to play Avowed is on Xbox or PC. Based on what Microsoft has been doing with its "exclusive" games recently, though, this could change and an Avowed PS5 port could be released sometime in the future. View Green Video on the source website Could Avowed come to PS5 later? Avowed could come to PS5 at a later date but nothing has been said by Microsoft, Xbox or Obsidian Entertainment about a PlayStation port of the game. The Outer Worlds 2, the next game by Obsidian, is set to be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on the same day as one another – Avowed could join it in going multiplatform, eventually. There has been nothing official said on a PS5 version of Avowed, but many fans are thinking (see: hoping) that a smile, nod and raised eyebrows could mean the game is on the way to Sony’s current-gen console. During an interview with MinnMaxx, Avowed director Carrie Patel smiled, did a small nod and shrugged their shoulders (while raising their eyebrows) when interviewer Ben Hanson said: "Avowed is obviously coming to PS5 at some point." Check it out below and you can make up your own mind: View oEmbed on the source website In addition to Carrie Patel offering insight into Avowed's potential PS5 release, the head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan revealed more about its plans to release exclusives on other platforms. In Xbox's official podcast, Duncan says "it's good for gamers" and "it's good for our studios." "Our studios make amazing games, and we want to give those games the chance to reach the broadest audience possible." Take a look at the full podcast below for even more insight into Xbox's new multi-platform plans: View oEmbed on the source website If an Avowed PS5 release date ever takes place, we'll be sure to update the page with the latest information. Which platforms can play Avowed? Avowed can be played on Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam, Xbox app and Battle.net). It is on Game Pass for console and PC, too. You can purchase Avowed on Xbox from GAME (Premium physical edition – no disc, though) or on Xbox or PC (Steam) from CDKeys. As of writing, these are the only platforms confirmed to play Avowed, with no official word on a PS5 or Nintendo Switch 2 version. For now, you’ll have to make do with playing the game on Xbox Series X/S or PC. Time will tell if it becomes available on other platforms in the future.

When is Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2? Release date and what to expect
Fortnite goes Grand Theft Auto in its latest season, which brings the gangster vibes with the ominous title "Lawless". There are actually a few GTA elements in there, with players able to get involved in heists and spend your loot on new weapons. Parents need not worry, though.

FC 25 best formations and custom tactics codes explained
FC 25 has been on the shelves for a while now, so we can say with a fair bit of confidence the best formations and custom tactics codes. It's a game about tactics after all, so you'll want to pay heed to this element if you want to excel in Division Rivals or Squad Battles. With the new Player Roles feature, you'll need to pay attention to individual players more. So make sure you've got a Shadow Striker in your squad! If you're struggling to wrap your head around the new features, we'll help out by sharing our favourite tactics. Copy them for now, and you'll soon get the hang of it. We'll also share FC 25 tactics codes to make things super easy. Best FC 25 formations and tactics codes At a glance, the best FC 25 tactics codes to use are: 5-2-1-2 — code: hs6DE6JnsjB 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow — code: L&j@lPnSv#7 4-2-1-3 — code: p#D#E?5&zqJ 3-4-2-1 — code: DZcldmu%NBf 4-2-3-1 Wide — code: xHJFfLF47x$ You can click those links above to learn more about each tactic! Or, if you already fancy yourself a FIFA expert, why not try our quiz below? View Riddle on the source website If you're looking to 'plug and play' some of the best tactics from real-life football, you might want to try these iconic manager tactic codes: Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) — code: 1#P5MKK8#Vp Ange Postecoglou (Spurs) — code: 1HNHjMK@HTp Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) — code: Gce&cabtYk6 Arne Slot (Liverpool) — code: y#Mg#KG?FSm Unai Emery (Aston Villa) — code: &HMma%#A@SA Antonio Conte (Napoli) — code: @ZYRZDUFS7z Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid) — code: QcoxzE$YiuE Some players prefer to sit deeper, soak up pressure, and hit teams on the break. Others will prefer to control the ball, dominate the game, and be on the front foot; regardless of how you wish to play, the biggest goal is to win, and the tactics below will help you achieve your goal. One thing to keep in mind is what your players' preferred roles are too; we do recommend you utilise these in the best way possible where you can, so if you have a midfielder who is a better deep-lying-playmaker and we've said to be a box-to-box, try out their preferred position as they will perform better. For more info on each of the tactics we've chosen to recommend, read on! 5-2-1-2 The five-at-the-back formations have defined the early meta in FC 25, with the 5-2-1-2 being among the best formations to use. This formation lets you defend with five players (six if you count the Holding CM) but then quickly transitions into an attack with enough players to overload your opponent on the counter. The three CBs allow you to push the full-backs higher up the pitch as Attacking Wingbacks, adding some width to support the forwards. A double striker attack has also proven deadly in FC 25 so far, and the Shadow Striker CAM is one of the best Player Roles to use for any position. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: hs6DE6JnsjB Formation: 5-2-1-2 Build-up Style: Counter Defensive Approach: Balanced Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left and Right Back: Attacking Wingback, Balanced Centre Backs: Defenders and Defend, Ball-Playing Defender and Defend Central Midfielder: Holding, Defend Central Midfielder: Playmaker, Attack Center Attacking Midfielder: Shadow Striker, Attack Striker: Poacher, Attack Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack Something to keep in mind this year is that some players perform better with specific instructions, so when recruiting, you check whether or not they fit the roles. 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow This formation has been one of the most popular in recent years, but with the new Player Roles in FC 25, this shape has even more options. It’s nice and narrow, offering plenty of control and passing options while also providing some width if you have the right central midfielders. It also allows players to use two strikers, so multiple options operate in the box. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: L&j@lPnSv#7 Formation: 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Build-up Style: Short passes Defensive Approach: Balanced Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left and Right Back: Fullback, Balanced Centre Backs: Defender and Defend Central Defensive Midfielder: Holding, Roaming Central Midfielders: Box-to-box, Balanced Center Attacking Midfielder: Winger, Balanced Striker: False 9, Build Up Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack Alternatively, you can invert the fullbacks to flood the midfield, offering more passing options if that’s what you prefer. 4-2-1-3 This formation defends in a 4213, but when attacking, switches to a 3331 with one of the midfielders dropping into defence and the full backs coming into midfield. Width comes from the wingers, and the constant rotation of players causes all sorts of chaos. To pull off this formation, it's crucial to have wingers who can go both ways and fullbacks with very good passing so that you can dominate all over the pitch. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: p#D#E?5&zqJ Formation: 4-2-1-3 Build-up Style: Counter Defensive Approach: Balanced Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Right back: Falseback, Balanced Left back: Falseback, Balanced Defensive midfielder: Holding, Defend Defensive midfielder: Centre Half, Defend Central Attacking Midfield: Playmaker, Balanced Right Winger: Inside Forward, Balanced Left Winger: Inside Forward, Balanced Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack 3-4-2-1 This formation is more defensively sound, offering little room at the back if you’re countered but also leaving plenty of options in attack for when you get the ball. The key is to have all-rounders, athletic and strong players so you’re potent on the counter-attack. You will be playing a bit deeper, though, and likely to concede the majority of possession. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: DZcldmu%NBf Formation: 3-4-2-1 Build-up Style: Counter Defensive Approach: Defend Goalkeeper: Defend Defenders: Defender, Defend Defenders: Stopper, Balanced Right Midfielder/ Left Midfielder: Wide midfielders, defend Central Midfielders: Box-to-box, Balanced / Deep Lying Playmaker, Defend Center Attacking Midfielder: Shadow Striker, Attack Center Attacking Midfielder: Playmaker, Balanced Striker: Poacher, Attack 4-2-3-1 Wide Right now, this is the most balanced formation around, offering just as much going forward as defending, with plenty of options for a pass and proving hard to break down. The defenders can come inside to provide more in the middle, too, but it will rely on them having a good engine for all the extra running they’re going to do, so stamina is the key. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: xHJFfLF47x$ Formation: 4-2-3-1 Build-up Style: Short Passes Defensive Approach: High Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left back: Fullback, Balanced Right back: Falseback, Defend Centre Backs: Defender, Defend Central Defensive Midfielder: Holding, Defending Central Defensive Midfielder: Holding, Defending Center Attacking Midfielder: Playmaker, Balanced Right Midfielder / Left Midfielder: Inside Forward, Balanced Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack Best manager tactics in FC 25 Ultimate Team Managers in the game have built-in tactics, so if you want to equip one of them and plug and play, as it were, these are some of the best options currently in the game that fit the meta. Mikel Arteta Antonio Conte Thiago Motta Hansi Flick Roberto De Zerbi Enzo Maresca Unai Emery Xabi Alonso Carlo Ancelotti Ruben Amorim Hundreds of managers are in the game, so it is well worth looking at which ones you get in packs to see if any of them fit the particular way you want to play in Ultimate Team.

EA hasn't officially confirmed any sales numbers, but it's safe to say that FC 25 sales numbers are high, although it's performing slightly behind FC 24. GamesIndustry.biz explains that FC 25 was the best-selling game of September 2024 in the UK. No real surprise there. Its report, though, does say that "the game’s sales are slightly lower than last year [FC 24]". FC 25 sales are 4.6 per cent lower than those of the launch sales of FC 24 last year. View Riddle on the source website Despite this, sales numbers of FC 25 Ultimate Edition (which gave players early access) "actually performed better year-on-year" when compared to FC 24. We don’t have actual figures for sales numbers, so the GamesIndustry.biz report will have to do for now. During the website’s Microcast podcast, the sales performance of FC 25 Ultimate Edition is explained in more detail. It explains that "in terms of the people who did buy the Ultimate Edition of the game, in the UK, that was six per cent more people bought the Ultimate Edition this year than they did last year". The podcast continues: "And if you factor that for the whole of Europe and early data suggests that nearly 11 per cent rise over the year before." You can listen to what they have to say about the FC 25 sales numbers in the YouTube embed of the Microcast below (around the 30-minute mark): View oEmbed on the source website Regarding the overall sales numbers, EA CEO Andrew Wilson says "soft 'top-of-funnel' acquisition" and a "lapsed engagement later in the quarter" were responsible for the lower-than-expected figures. Wilson also revealed more players chose to play FC 24 for longer rather than moving across to FC 25 when it released. Following FC 25's lower sales figures, EA's shares declined by over 16 per cent, resulting in a loss of $6 billion.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sales numbers and player count – How many people are paying and playing?
As if the rave reviews from fans and critics weren't enough, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is quite the financial success too. It's always a risk to create huge AAA games, but things are paying off for Deep Silver and Warhorse Studios. The sequel to 2018's medieval RPG romp is quickly gaining traction, and early game of the year predictions this time seem reasonable. Its wicked sense of humour, huge map, and various romance options are clearly proving irresistible. So how many people are currently playing? And what are the sales like? Let's take a look at the Steam numbers, and some quotes from the Warhorse Studios CEO, to see how well KCD2 is performing. How are the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sales numbers? After just one day on sale, Warhorse Studios confirmed that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sales numbers topped 1 million copies sold. This staggering sales statistic was confirmed by the developer over on X (formerly known as Twitter), who added a message of thanks: "Over a million of you have stepped into our world. We’re beyond grateful for your support - thank you for making KCD2 a triumph!" You can see the original X post below: View oEmbed on the source website Also, the co-founder of Kingdom Come developer Warhorse Studios, Daniel Vávra, has said that the game made all of its money back on the first day of sales (source: Games Radar). Not bad at all! How many people are playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? It’s always tricky to know for sure how many people are playing a game at any given moment, but SteamDB does tell us how many are currently playing on KCD2 on Steam. The Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 SteamDB page tells us that the game’s all-time peak of players (as of writing) was on 5th February 2025 and saw a whopping 176,285 playing the game at once. As of writing on 18th February 2025, the current number of players live in KCD2 on Steam is over 115,000. Expect that number to change, though, and you’ll need to go back to SteamDB to see how player numbers on Steam average out for KCD2. View Green Video on the source website How does this compare to the first game? Compared to the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is performing very well. Time will tell if it reaches the KCD1 sales of over 8 million, however. As of November 2024, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 sold over 8 million copies, as was confirmed by Warhorse Studios on X. It took more than six and a half years for KCD1 to sell 8 million copies. It took KCD2 just 24 hours to sell 1 million. Using SteamDB again, we can see that KCD2 is outperforming KCD1 in terms of its all-time peak number of players. The Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 all-time peak number of players on Steam is 96,069. That’s just over half of KCD2’s all-time peak of 176,285 Steam players.
