Haunted Chocolatier: Release date rumours for Stardew Valley creator's new game
When is the Haunted Chocolatier release date, and what else do we know about the new game from ConcernedApe?
Since its release 10 years ago, Stardew Valley has become one of the biggest and most successful indie games of all time. Now, its creator Eric Barone, AKA ConcernedApe, is hard at work on a new game: Haunted Chocolatier. It was first announced back in 2021, but between continuing to work on Stardew Valley and making Haunted Chocolatier perfect, news on its progress has been few and far between. Originally known as 'Sprout Valley', the game was born out of Barone's desire to fix issues he had with classed farming sim series Harvest Moon. So, if you're wondering what news there is on the Haunted Chocolatier release date, here's everything you need to know about Eric Barone's next title. What is Haunted Chocolatier? Haunted Chocolatier is an RPG/simulation game that sees you play as a chocolatier, gathering ingredients whilst residing in a haunted castle, to produce chocolate for sale to the townspeople. Fans can expect more information in the run-up to release with Barone stating: “Of course, there’s a lot more to the game than that, but I don’t want to get too deep into at this early stage, partly because I don’t want to be tied down to any particular concept of what the game is.” “I haven’t really gotten to the sauce yet. That’s coming,” Barone admitted, when referring to the aspect of the game that would complement the “meat and potatoes” of the chocolatey facet already outlined. Barone’s ad-hoc nature has been instrumental to his success (as has his music recordings) and he is fortunate enough to be his own taskmaster. “If Stardew Valley mostly channelled the energy of the sun, Haunted Chocolatier channels the energy of the moon. Both are vital,” he added. Haunted Chocolatier release date speculation While we initially hoped to be playing the game as early as 2022, with the game having first been announced in 2021, that has obviously not come to pass. Since announcing the game, Barone has repeatedly returned to Stardew Valley to finish up big content updates such as the 1.6 to 1.6.15 updates released throughout 2024. Furthermore, Barone is more concerned with taking his time and releasing a good game, than rushing something out early, telling Aftermath that same year that "it's better to have a delayed game that's actually good than a bad game that's on time. When it's ready, that's when I'll release it". More recently, a January 2026 blogpost from Barone confirmed that he has "been very productive lately on Haunted Chocolatier". While he also confirmed that he is still working on Stardew Valley updates alongside Haunted Chocolatier, he doubled down on a statement he gave in 2025 that he hoped the game would release in the next five years. So, there you have it. The Haunted Chocolatier release window is anytime from 2026 until 2030 – although we certainly hope that we won't have to wait that long. Either way, one thing that is for certain is that when it finally does arrive, it's going to be to a standard that Barone is happy with, and that can only be a good thing – Silksong was worth the wait, wasn't it? Which consoles and platforms can play Haunted Chocolatier? There is a 100 per cent guarantee that Haunted Chocolatier will be coming to PC, and we wouldn't be surprised to see a console release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch further down the line. However, only a PC version has been confirmed at this stage. Barone's previous project, Stardew Valley, could be a good indication of where things can go: it is available on Steam, Mac OS, iOS, Linux, Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita, Android phones/tablets and even the Arcade feature on Tesla cars. Can I pre-order Haunted Chocolatier? You cannot pre-order Haunted Chocolatier yet, but we'll be sure to update this page when you can. This means that there is no pre-order link currently, but we'll update this page as soon as we know more. Haunted Chocolatier music View oEmbed on the source website Barone has long been known for his beautiful musical scores, which add a whole other layer of greatness to his games. The music on Stardew Valley was consistently wonderful, and here's hoping that the Haunted Chocolatier music will have a similar impact on our ears. Early signs are certainly promising – there were two songs, both just over a minute in length, featured in the first Haunted Chocolatier trailer. Barone has already reposted the songs on their own on his YouTube channel, too. The songs don't have names yet, but you can listen to them both here – there is one above and one below, so take your pick and prepare yourself for a sweet audio treat. View oEmbed on the source website Haunted Chocolatier gameplay "I just want to make a fun game," Barone wrote on the game's official website, but he didn't go into a huge amount of detail beyond that in terms of the Haunted Chocolatier gameplay experience. He did say this, though: "Now, you might be scratching your head, wondering exactly what type of game this is. I’m not sure how best to describe it. It’s evolving organically as I develop it, so I’m not sure where it will go. "But at its core, the gameplay loop involves gathering ingredients, making chocolate, and running a chocolate shop. Of course, there’s a lot more to the game than that, but I don’t want to get too deep into at this early stage, partly because I don’t want to be tied down to any particular concept of what the game is." All programming was coded using the C#/Monogame framework. And if you want to take a closer look at how the game is shaping up, along with a couple of great original songs, check out the video at the bottom of this page. Does Haunted Chocolatier have multiplayer? Barone has stated that he’s only developing a single-player mode and has no plans for multiplayer so far, so it might be safe to assume that Haunted Chocolatier will not have a multiplayer mode at launch. We think that if Haunted Chocolatier emulates the success of its creator’s premier effort, then perhaps a co-op mode could be added later, with players sharing the responsibility of the inner workings of the chocolate castle. Haunted Chocolatier trailer The first Haunted Chocolatier trailer is here, touting itself as an 'early gameplay' showcase. Those who’d like to bathe in the nostalgia of the kind of sprite-bountiful pixel art graphics reminiscent of the 90s and early noughties GameBoy SP are very likely to enjoy this. Scored with glimmering soft synthesis, the trailer below should go some way to tiding you over, while we wait for the Haunted Chocolatier release date to appear.

Chappell Roan in Fortnite: Release date and what to expect
Chappell Roan is finally getting her own Fortnite skin.
Chappell Roan's wildest dreams are about to come true – she's finally about to get her own Fortnite skin. The pop superstar shot to stardom in 2024 with her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, but her dream of a Fortnite skin has been out of her reach until now. Fortnite Festival has platformed plenty of artists over the years from The Weeknd and Lady Gaga to Metallica and even Hatsune Miku. But it's Chappell's turn now, so if you're curious when we can expect the Chappell Roan skin to arrive in Fortnite, here's what you need to know. Chappell Roan Fortnite skin release date speculation The Chappell Roan Fortnite skin is reportedly set to release on 5th February 2026. This news comes from noted Fortnite leaker HYPEX, who posted to X that Chappell would be a Fortnite Festival Icon. View oEmbed on the source website While Epic Games hasn't confirmed outright that the Chappell Roan collaboration is happening, a pink pony and suit of armour have been added to Fortnite Festival as teasers. Now, all news from leakers should of course be taken with a grain of salt, but HYPEX has a very good track record, so we think this information is pretty reliable. What to expect from Chappell Roan in Fortnite Sticking with our friend HYPEX's leaks, Chappell Roan will be getting two Icon skins in Fortnite. While we don't know much about one of these skins, HYPEX has confirmed that the second skin will feature Chappell wearing knight armour, a reference to her outfit from 2024's MTV Video Music Awards. As well as this, fellow leaker Leaky has confirmed that the collab will feature a Pink Pony Club-inspired Sidekick, and a variety of instruments including a microphone and drum. Like all Fortnite Festival Icon skins, this will likely all be unlockable via buying and completing the in-game Music Pass, released as part of Fortnite Festival's new season.

Crimson Desert: Release date, pre-orders, trailers and more
When can we expect this open-world prequel?
With every trailer, excitement is growing more and more for the upcoming Crimson Desert release date. A prequel to hit MMO Black Desert Online, the game was first announced back in 2023, and the more we've seen of it, the more promising it looks. Unlike many modern titles, developer Pearl Abyss is eschewing the popular Unreal Engine 5 in favour of their own in-house engine, the incredibly impressive BlackSpace Engine. If you're as excited for Crimson Desert as we are, here's what you need to know about the release date, pre-orders, trailers and more. When is the Crimson Desert release date? Crimson Desert releases on 19th March 2026 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This was revealed during last September's Sony State of Play as part of a new trailer. The game was initially scheduled to release in 2024. This was then pushed back, with a trailer at The Game Awards 2024 seemingly confirming a late-2025 release. Of course, we now know that the game was further delayed, so here's hoping that 19th March is the definitive release date. Can I pre-order Crimson Desert? You can pre-order digital versions of the game directly from their respective storefronts: Steam PlayStation Xbox If you're after a physical version, then you can pre-order Crimson Desert from select retailers: UK Amazon – £49.99 Smyths – £49.99 US Amazon – $69.99 Best Buy – $69.99 GameStop – $69.99 Walmart – $69.99 Target – $69.99 Which consoles and platforms can play Crimson Desert? Crimson Desert is releasing on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It was originally meant to release on PS4 and Xbox One, but following a couple of delays, it's moved onto current gen consoles only. We also don't know if a Switch 2 version is on the books, but if it sells well enough, who knows? Crimson Desert gameplay and story details Much like its spiritual predecessor, Crimson Desert is an open-world fantasy RPG. You can explore it on foot or horseback, and you'll have the option to complete quests, fish, chop trees and – we're delighted to say – pet plenty of dogs. The combat looks to be a satisfying combo, block and parry affair, with a variety of interesting enemies (including ones you can climb, à la Shadow of the Colossus). As for the story, we don't know much about that from the trailer. All we know is the game is set in the same universe as Black Desert Online, and we take control of protagonist Macduff as he fights against the forces of evil and confronts his past. Is there a Crimson Desert trailer? There is a trailer, and it's pretty awesome. Check it out below, in all its dog-petting glory: View oEmbed on the source website In late 2025, we got a release date trailer showing off even more of the game: View oEmbed on the source website And last, but not least, January 2026 gave us a huge, 15-minute showcase of the game's gameplay and open world features: 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.

How to do a low driven shot in FC 26 explained
With every new EA Sports FC game, there's a different, powerful mechanic, and the low driven shot in FC 26 might be this year's best one. Of course, to be a truly great FC 26 player, you'll need to master every type of finish, but once you have the low driven shot mastered, you'll be hitting the bottom corner non stop. So, if you're struggling to get to grips with how to perform a low driven shot in FC 26, we'll take you through a quick guide on what you need to know. How to score low driven shots in FC 26 The first thing to consider is where you’re trying to score from. While the Power Shot can be used just about anywhere, the low driven shot remains best when you’re in the box, and can be almost unstoppable within the six-yard box. If you’re in the perfect position, you’ll want to do the following: Power up a shot with the relevant button (B on Xbox, Circle on PS5) Immediately after the shot is powered up, press the button again There are some tradeoffs for low-driven shots. They don’t tend to have the power of, well, the Power Shot, but they do catch goalkeepers off guard and often slide into the bottom corner. Furthermore, it can be a bit easier to drag the shot wide, compared to more accurate regular and finesse shots. The better the player performing the shot is, particularly if they have the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, also plays a huge part. Expect much higher success rates if they do.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Devora Wilde talks "unbelievable" success, and her hopes for Clea's future
"We want more, we want more. Is there gonna be more?"
Any actor would be thrilled to be involved in a project that sweeps up every award going. To have two such projects in quick succession? Few have managed it, but Devora Wilde can count herself among that hallowed number to achieve a double tap of the Midas touch. Wilde won legions of fans for her spiky turn as Lae’zel in 2023’s Baldur’s Gate 3, and she impressed players again as the enigmatic Clea in 2025’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Both games won pretty much every Game of the Year award going. So, how did that amazing double bill come about? “Completely by chance, to be honest,” Wilde told Radio Times Gaming in our latest Arcade Hang interview. You can watch the full video in the player above, or on our YouTube channel, or read on for some choice quotes! Wilde continued: “I think people assume that, because of the way it's happened, like one after the other, we are… well, first of all, people assume that we are just offered roles left, right, and centre, which is not the case. “As far as I know, or at least I'm gonna speak for me, I audition for everything. It's still very much the normal structure. You get an audition through your agent, you audition, and then you are told yes or no. And a lot of the time they are blind auditions.” “So, Clair Obscur was a blind audition. They didn't know it was me. And it just so happened that it came exactly after Baldur’s Gate 3, and here we are.” Wilde added: “I had no information going into it. Just the code name, a very rough outline of the story, and then my lines and obviously character description. "Then once I got the role, they sent me a lot of information about the story, which obviously I needed, because I think my part is quite a big moment in the game and, and a big reveal, a different part of the story, let's say.” View oEmbed on the source website Wilde is keen to protect prospective players from spoilers, so we don’t dwell too much on her scenes. Instead, talk turns to the amazing awards run that the game, and its lead actor Jennifer English, has been enjoying of late. “It's unbelievable,” Wilde said. “And to see, like, your friends... to see Jennifer English. Jennifer English! “I mean, I expected it. I don't wanna say that, but like, I did expect it. And you don't wanna jinx it, but to see it actually happening in real time and then to see her go up and collect the award, and to see her making these speeches, and you're just like, 'What is... what is reality? Are we in the real world right now?' “And I guess to her, probably, it feels even more surreal. It's just been amazing, going on this amazing journey with your friends. That's what it feels like. I think we've been very lucky as a cast that we are very close and that we travel to a lot of these events together and these conventions. “And even though maybe we weren't really hanging out during the recording of the game, because we were separate and also COVID and all of that stuff, we got to kind of hang out after the game was done. So, you know, it's been very cool.” With the dust gradually settling on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (although the BAFTA Games Awards in April will present another chance for glory), would Wilde like to play Clea again in a sequel? “I had a very short amount of time with Clea,” she says. “And again, seeing people's reactions to her, I mean really all the comments are like, 'We want more, we want more. Is there gonna be more? Are you doing more?' “And I'm like, ‘Not at the moment.’ But, you know, if there ever was [a chance to reprise the role], I would absolutely love the opportunity. “I think she is such an interesting character. And what's even more interesting is, you just get a little taste of her, and then the game is kind of, you know, finished. “Wouldn't it be cool to see what she was doing while the game was going on, or a prequel, or a sequel, or something like that? Anything, I think, would be cool. “Because, unlike Lae'zel, I had a limited time with [Clea] and, you know, we always want more. Actors always want more, and I'm no different. So yeah, that would be very cool.” Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is out now on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Tomb Raider Funko Pops: Release date, price and where to buy
Lara Croft is celebrating her 30th birthday this year, and to celebrate that milestone, we've got a selection of Tomb Raider Funko Pops releasing later this year. Of course, we've also got new Tomb Raider games and a Tomb Raider TV show starring Sophie Turner to look forward to, as well. But if those two alone aren't enough for a Tomb Raider superfan such as yourself, here's what you need to know about how you can get your hands on those Tomb Raider Funko Pops. When do the Tomb Raider Funko Pops release? The upcoming Tomb Raider Funko Pops are set to officially release on 22nd March 2026. There are three figures available, one retro, polygonal skin based on the original Lara Croft model, one based on her design from 2003's The Angel of Darkness, and one based on her diving suit from Tomb Raider 2. The first two of these figures will cost £12.99 / $14.99 individually, with the third costing £16 in the UK, but the same in the US – more on how to buy them all down below. It should also be noted that all of these Funko Pops are different from the previously-released Lara Croft figure, which is no longer available. Where can I buy the Tomb Raider Funko Pops? While two of the variants of the Tomb Raider Funko Pops are currently available to pre-order from a number of retailers, the variant based on her Tomb Raider 2 diving suit can only be purchased directly from Funko. Here's where you can pre-order the figures from: UK HMV – Polygonal / Angel of Darkness Amazon – <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Funko-Pop-Games-Collectable-Merchandise/dp/B08HH5M7Q5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2HJH7IU85H1WW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pgszsiwwk9fhmF6b_3QPrIF2faRZfprNlDbNaPuV317r12Mdgy_6EFvqlLGPajGDmlRhe7Fo7CHBpoozsd_V6UnrHA2Wb2DQlCvqsJOMwrCucYsVI-8bT29XPrk86_9cSDtdCms1ACXLFb-DHOh-n8-EKSxGnp1UnzK9n_61WJ_xR2drxoPgyAdUTMAVDeZD6e3yFMO6qwR9DNw8cmSHCsPVBLnF9K3AaiM3l9SHFxdwfHXDI61sn_MAf-56ktl7LHpKNyfeqe09suvZGalENP0mvAeFmvR7V05c4KiE4As.0VbxvF15mg1T3A1qoN0t7OTnQzkfgMFzx-tl2sVCkCE&dib_tag=se&keywords=lara+croft+funko+pop&qid=1769700778&sprefix=lara+croft+funko+pop%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-1&tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-2386612" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Polygonal / <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Funko-Pop-Games-Collectable-Merchandise/dp/B08HH7FSHD/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2HJH7IU85H1WW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pgszsiwwk9fhmF6b_3QPrIF2faRZfprNlDbNaPuV317r12Mdgy_6EFvqlLGPajGDmlRhe7Fo7CHBpoozsd_V6UnrHA2Wb2DQlCvqsJOMwrCucYsVI-8bT29XPrk86_9cSDtdCms1ACXLFb-DHOh-n8-EKSxGnp1UnzK9n_61WJ_xR2drxoPgyAdUTMAVDeZD6e3yFMO6qwR9DNw8cmSHCsPVBLnF9K3AaiM3l9SHFxdwfHXDI61sn_MAf-56ktl7LHpKNyfeqe09suvZGalENP0mvAeFmvR7V05c4KiE4As.0VbxvF15mg1T3A1qoN0t7OTnQzkfgMFzx-tl2sVCkCE&dib_tag=se&keywords=lara+croft+funko+pop&qid=1769700778&sprefix=lara+croft+funko+pop%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-2&tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-2386612" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Angel of Darkness Funko – Polygonal / Angel of Darkness / Diving Suit US Funko – Polygonal / Angel of Darkness / Diving Suit View Green Video 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.

We've all been there, you're getting put in jail every other turn and paying rent, but with Monopoly Go cheat codes and our full list of working Dice Links, you can make things a little easier for yourself. Whilst you can't swipe the board off the table in frustration, the mobile version, Monopoly Go, is a ton of fun – but you can only really get going with a good number of dice, which is where our Monopoly Go Dice Links come in handy! Below, we'll go over how to redeem said Dice Links and what to do if the links aren't working. So, without further ado, read on for the full list of working Monopoly Go Dice Links! How to redeem Free Dice Links in Monopoly Go Redeeming Dice Links is as easy as opening this very page on your mobile device that has the game installed and clicking the links below. The catch is that you’ll need to hit level 15 first, which unlocks albums. No codes, no copy and pasting – just click the link and you’re good to go. It should go without saying, however, that you should only click on trusted links (like these ones here). Otherwise, you could be opening yourself up to more nefarious sites.

PS Plus free games: New games revealed for February 2026
If you're a PS5 owner, then PS Plus is a must-have to fill your library with incredible games. Like Xbox Game Pass, new games are added to the service every month. Unlike Game Pass, however, there haven't been any massive price rises to put us off. With different tiers, the more you pay, the more you get, and each month, several games will also be leaving the service as new ones are added. It's going to be a big year for PlayStation, with games like Marvel's Wolverine coming up, as well as rumours of a PlayStation handheld too. But for now, once you've got the best PS Plus deals, let's take a look at the new games coming to PS Plus in February 2026. PS Plus free games for February 2026 confirmed PS Plus Essential members will get the following free titles as part of February's monthly games: Subnautica: Below Zero (PS5) Undisputed (PS5) Ultros (PS5, PS4) Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4) After a relatively poor January, things are picking up with a much more interesting February for PS Plus! Kicking things off, we have a spin-off to one of the best survival games ever with Subnautica: Below Zero. Originally meant to be a DLC to the main game, it follows the same gameplay loop of exploring the seas of an alien world (and this time, the icy surface), collecting materials, crafting and avoiding the local wildlife while you hunt for clues about your sister's death. Shifting the vibe entirely, Undisputed is a boxing game described by developer Steel City Interactive as "the most authentic boxing game to date!" The game features more than 70 licensed fighters, with a variety of punch types, attributes and traits to give you as much control over your fighters as possible. Next up is one of the most underrated indie titles of 2024, the metroidvania Ultros. After awakening on board the Sarcophagus, a spaceship imprisoning the demon Ultros, players must explore the empty ship, overgrown with plant life, fighting aliens that have gone mad and attempting to prevent the titular demon from waking. Last, but not least, we've got Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. If you don't know about it already, Ace Combat is the game series when it comes to combat flight simulation, and while dogfighting is the focus, there's a pretty good story mode here too. Plus, with Ace Combat 8 set to release later this year, it's a good time to start getting some practice in! View Green Video on the source website What's leaving PS Plus this month? There are nine games leaving PS Plus on 17th February 2026: Carto (PS4) Cult of the Lamb (PS5, PS4) New World: Aeternum (PS5) Rez Infinite (PS4) SaGa Frontier Remastered (PS4) Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition (PS5) Super Neptunia RPG (PS4) The Ascent (PS5, PS4) WWE 2K25 (PS5, PS4) Make sure to claim them before it's too late! undefined What do you get with the other PS Plus tiers? Even more games are available with the higher tiers of PlayStation Plus (Extra and Premium). We're still unsure what else will be added to the other tiers, but we'll update this guide as and when they're announced. What to play on PS Plus – our recommendations If you're looking for some other great games to play in the PS Plus Game Catalogue, we'd recommend these ones for sure: Control: Ultimate Edition Death Stranding Director's Cut (PS5) Days Gone (PS4) Demon's Souls (PS5) DOOM Eternal (PS4, PS5) Horizon Forbidden West (PS4, PS5) As well as all the games included in the other tiers, PS Plus Premium lets you download and play older titles from PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP to harken back to a simpler time and relive your younger years. PS3 games are only available via cloud streaming and this is region-dependent, but the UK is included in this list so we don't miss out. See below for a selection of classics you can revisit: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1) Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1) Resident Evil Director's Cut (PS1) The Jak and Dexter series (PS2) Dark Cloud (PS2) The God of War Collection and God of War Ascension (PS3) inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 (PS3) Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice (PSP) Killzone: Liberation (PSP) As a PS Plus Premium subscriber, you also have access to time-limited trials, which lets you try before you buy and download a full game and play it for a set amount of time. The length of the trial varies depending on the game. What’s also great here is that the progress you make on these trials will carry over if you end up buying the full game. We’ve got a selection of just a few below. A Plague Tale: Requiem – Two hours Baldur's Gate 3 – Two hours Cyberpunk 2077 – Five hours God of War Ragnarok – Three hours The Last of Us: Part I – Two hours Hogwarts Legacy – 45 minutes Spider-Man 2 - Two hours As you can see, longer RPGs and story titles get longer trials, so you can get a good sense of what you’re getting into before you fish out your wallet. Make sure to check out our more comprehensive list of all PS Plus games so you don't miss out on any games you've been meaning to play. And that's your lot! We'll update this page as and when new PS Plus games are announced. For more info, check out our guide to the latest PS Plus offers to walk away with some cheap deals on the subscription.

How to get Glimmet and evolve into Glimmora in Pokémon Go explained
Glimmet and its evolution, Glimmora, have arrived in Pokémon Go, and you can catch them for yourself. The Rock and Poison-types from Generation 9 join as part of the Into the Depths event, and offer a very interesting type combination for battles. So, if you're wondering how to catch a Glimmet and evolve it into Glimmora in Pokémon Go, here's what you need to know. How to get Glimmet in Pokémon Go explained There are four possible ways to catch a Glimmet in Pokémon Go. These are: Routes encounters Event Field Research (Explore 3km) Free Into the Depths Timed Research quest Paid Into the Depths Timed Research quest For the average player, the quickest way to get your hands on a Glimmora is a combination of exploring Routes and completing the free Into the Depths Timed Research quest. The quest is simple to complete, but will take you a fair amount of time to do. For that reason, we think that exploring routes on the side will give you a chance of getting one sooner, while still making progress towards the guaranteed one as a reward for completing the quest. Unfortunately, shiny variants of Glimmet and Glimmora are not yet available in the game, so if you were hoping to add to your collection, you're out of luck. View Green Video on the source website How to evolve Glimmet into Glimmora in Pokémon Go explained Thankfully, unlike many Pokémon these days, evolving Glimmet into Glimmora in Pokémon Go doesn't have any annoying prerequisites. To evolve your Glimmet, all you need to do is collect 50x Glimmet Candy, so make sure to use a Pinap Berry when catching one, and to set it as your Buddy. Catch enough of them, or spend enough time walking with one as your Buddy, and you'll have the Candy to evolve Glimmet in no time.

Pokémon Ascended Heroes: Release date and what to expect
When you can expect to grab some more pretty Mega Evolution cards.
2025 was a great year for Pokémon TCG, and 2026 might be even better, as we've already got Pokémon Ascended Heroes about to release. Adding to the previous collections of Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames, Ascended Heroes is delivering a mammoth 290 cards straight into players' hands. If that wasn't enough, we've also got the Perfect Order expansion coming later, too! But for now, to find out the Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes release date, where to buy it and the card list, read on! Though we're barely into 2026, the Pokémon TCG is already out of the starting gate with Pokémon Ascended Heroes, and we've got everything you need to know about the upcoming expansion, from its release date to where to buy it. This huge collection joins the ranks of Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames, boasting a whopping 290 cards to add to your ever-growing collection. There's also the upcoming Pokémon TCG Perfect Order expansion to keep your eyes peeled for! As for what you can expect in the Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes expansion, we'll be going over the details in full down below. But, to find out the Pokémon TCG Ascended heroes release date, read on! When does Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes come out? The release date for the Ascended Heroes expansion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Mega Evolution set is Friday 30th January 2026. Announced late last year, this is quite the quick turnaround for Pokémon expansion to be released, but Trainers will indeed get to start bolstering their binders with new cards by the end of the month. Where to buy Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes Pre-orders for the Ascended Heroes expansion have already been made available at various retailers that usually stock Pokémon TCG booster packs, Elite Trainer Boxes, pack blisters, mini-tins and collections (or at least made clear they’ll be stocking them upon release) – including the Pokémon Center (UK & US), Amazon, Walmart, Magic Madhouse, Best Buy, and Target. Ascended Heroes Pokémon cards are also available to buy at dedicated TCG platforms like TCGPlayer. Keep in mind, however, that these sites in particular will have especially inflated prices, given their scarcity compared to market demand, increasing prices further even than typical retailers. For Pokémon TCG collectors in the UK, however, you’ll have a chance at getting Ascended Heroes products from Amazon at RRP due to the exclusive lottery system the retailer uses there — although listings for the expansion haven’t been put up on Amazon UK just yet. For many recently released Pokémon sets in the United Kingdom, Amazon UK allows users to register their interest in any high-demand TCG products they wish to buy; then, they’ll be entered with a chance to be randomly selected and be invited to buy those products (e.g. the Ascended Heroes ETB) at the standard price of around £50-£55. This does unfortunately mean that not all Pokemon card collectors will be able to get Ascended Heroes right away, but it does prevent bots and scalpers from scooping up all the inventory right away and selling it at a large markup. View Riddle on the source website What Pokémon cards to expect from Ascended Heroes As we approach the release date, we do now have a rather large card list for Ascended Heroes.

Nioh 3: Release date, pre-orders, gameplay and story details
Team Ninja is back, and after a short break for Wo Long and Rise of the Ronin, they're now going all out on Nioh 3. For many fans of the series, Nioh is the pinnacle of combat in games, and with some big innovations coming in 3, we could be in for a real treat. If you're one of those fans excited to jump in, here's what you need to know about the Nioh 3 release date, pre-orders, gameplay, story and more When is the Nioh 3 release date? Nioh 3 releases on 6th February 2026 for PC and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, if you're an Xbox owner, you're going to be missing out. The Nioh series is yet to come to Xbox consoles in any form, and it doesn't look like that's going to change with Nioh 3. The same can be said for Nintendo Switch 2 as well, so we hope you've got a PS5 or a decent PC knocking around! Can I pre-order Nioh 3? Yes, pre-orders are now available for Nioh 3. PC players can purchase the game directly from the Steam store for £64.99 / $69.99 for the Standard Edition, or £94.99 / $109.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition. PS5 players can also pre-order the game directly from the PlayStation Store for the same prices. Nioh 3 gameplay and story details Like the previous two games, Nioh 3 sees you travelling around Japan, slaying yōkai and levelling up your character. Beyond the huge variety of weapons and skills that made Nioh 1 and 2 so good, players now have the option to swap seamlessly between samurai and ninja playstyles. The samurai style is more similar to previous Nioh gameplay, while the ninja style offers faster, evasion-focused gameplay. For the first time ever, Nioh 3 will also introduce an open world to the series. Instead of the previous, linear levels, Nioh 3's levels will let players explore and discover points of interest, side quests and combat challenges. As for story, players take control of Shōgun-to-be Tokugawa Takechiyo. When his brother Togukawa Kunimatsu leads an army of yōkai against Edo Castle to overthrow Takechiyo, the player is sent back in time by the guardian spirit Kusanagi. From here, players will move through Japan's history, taking on yōkai in the Heian, Sengoku and Bakumatsu periods, meeting historical characters and fighting to save Edo in his own time.

Directive 8020 boss promises "a huge leap forward for the series" with two major upgrades
"It's a big improvement on how scary the game is."
How does Directive 8020, the new sci-fi entry in Supermassive Games’s The Dark Pictures Anthology, change things up? That was the question on our mind when we sat down with its creative director, Will Doyle, at the Gamescom conference. On the Radio Times Gaming podcast this month, we’ve been previewing some of the big games of 2026 (the ones that aren’t GTA 6), which makes this the perfect time to drop our Directive 8020 interview in full. If podcasts aren’t your thing, you can also watch the interview in the player above (or over on the Radio Times Gaming YouTube channel). Or if the written word is your bag, keep reading for some choice quotes in article form! Directive 8020, if you’re unfamiliar, is the next horror in the anthology series The Dark Pictures. Lashana Lynch is the star this time, and the threat is a creepy alien species that can mimic its human victims (think Alien meets The Thing). As Will Doyle told us, there are two major additions for returning fans to look out for this time: the action overhaul of Real-Time Threats, and the choice-changing Turning Point system. In a hands-on demo of the game’s first chapter, we were able to try both of these out, and the Turning Point system made a particularly big impact. Imagine, if you can, a DVD menu where you can move back and forth from any moment and pick up there. Got it? Okay, you’re halfway to imagining this system that allows you to backtrack and alter your choices in the game without having to spam your saves or drag yourself back to the start of a chapter just to retake a Quick-Time Event that went wrong. So, what was thinking behind the Turning Point system? In Doyle’s words, "One of the many goals of it is to make the game more accessible for our fans, [allowing them] to get to the content they want to get to, as soon as possible. "We find that people play through the game once, and then, previously, they'd have to start from the beginning or go to a chapter and then play from that point on. Now, with the Turning Point system, you can get straight to the decision that you're wondering about. "Go right back to that exact moment or the branching Quick-Time event that created that, and just get right down in the moment." Doyle was quick to reassure their most hardcore players, however, adding "For our fans that do want to live and die by their decisions, and don't even wanna be tempted by the option to do it, there's Survival Mode which turns it off completely until you get to the end of the game." Continuing, he explained: "The system itself, though, is just fantastic. It just gives almost like a sort of a collector's aspect to it, as well, because the whole decision tree is shown to you as individual scenes or beats. And they fill in as you play through it. So, there's a kind of sticker book aspect to it as well, of like, 'I want to unlock absolutely everything.'" The other major upgrade for returning Dark Pictures fans is Real-Time Threats, with the developers adding free-roaming sequences where the central monster stalks you as you explore. Doyle told us, "It’s a huge leap forward for the series. For me, I always thought that in our previous games, when you enter what we call the discovery sections or the exploration sections, they're the times when you feel, in a way, the most tense. "But when you get to know the games, you're like, 'Actually, they're the times where you're almost the most safe'. It's during the kind of narrative cut scene moments that you're most at risk for a bad choice or a Quick-Time Event. Whereas there's almost an expectation that when you're walking around, you're in danger. "Something could be out there. So I really, really wanted to get that feeling of… I could turn a corner and see a monster. And that monster could see me, or it could hear me, hunt me down. So yeah, it's a big improvement on how scary the game is. "Like, there's something special and magic about holding onto the controller and knowing that this character's life is literally in your hands now." View Green Video on the source website Touching on the overarching aims of the game, Doyle added, "When you make a decision, one of our goals is — and it's a rather sick goal — but our goal is, whenever you make a choice, you should feel a sense of loss. "You should feel that. Did I make the right choice? Was that right? And yeah, now you can quite quickly go back and see, 'What would happen if I did that?' "And you'll see the branching that we put in. You'll see that your choices really do matter in these games." Unsurprisingly, after an hour or so playing the game, we had already killed some characters and were itching to go back in time and try to save them. We’ll just have to wait until the game comes out to see all the outcomes, though. Until then, you can check out the rest of this interview on our podcast feed!

CoD BO7 Season 2: Release date, UK start time and what to expect
While Season 1 didn't get off to the best of starts, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 2 release date is almost here, and there's plenty of new content to look forward to. The best part of BO7 has been the multiplayer – we said as much in our review – so seeing even more of it is very much welcome. Right now, the ongoing Fallout event is keeping us busy while we wait for the new season, but players are getting antsy! With the success of Battlefield 6, CoD needs to get back to its best and prove why it's been the king of shooters for so long, and Season 2 could be the start of it. So, for the CoD BO7 Season 2 release date, start time and what to expect, read on! When does CoD BO7 Season 2 release? Confirmed date and UK start time The Call of Duty Black Ops 7 release date is 5th February 2026 with an expected start time of 5PM or 6PM GMT.

What to expect from CoD BO7 Season 2 Currently, it’s up for debate exactly what will be included in CoD BO7 Season 2, as nothing has been officially announced as of yet. But, judging by prior seasons, it’s safe to assume that we can expect a litany of new maps, weapons, modes, LTMs, blueprints and attachments. It’s also likely that we’ll see a new CoD Zombies Map, with new quests and an Easter Egg that requires you to jump through hoops and follow absolutely bonkers steps to find. Once we have the official lay of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 2 land, we’ll update you in due course!

When is the next Fortnite season? Chapter 7 Season 2 release date
Between the Hollywood motif and the South Park event, we're in the midst of one of Fortnite's wildest seasons yet – but when does the next Fortnite season start? With the success of Season 1, we're sure that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is going to be even bigger and better. Of course, we'll have a live event to look forward to before the current Fortnite season ends, too. But if you're looking forward to Chapter 7 Season 2, here's what you need to know about when the next Fortnite season starts. When does the next Fortnite season start? Chapter 7 Season 2 release date Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is currently scheduled to begin on Wednesday 4th March 2026. This coincides with the end of Season 1, which is set to conclude on the same date with a brand-new live event, which will likely last between 15 and 30 minutes. This also means this will be the last day that you can level up the Season 1 Battle Pass, so make sure you've unlocked everything you want before then! As for the specific time that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 will release, we won't know until closer to the date, when we have more details. What do we know about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2? At the time of writing, we don't know anything at all about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2. Epic Games hasn't announced anything yet, but perhaps more surprisingly, we haven't even had any leaks to provide hints. Of course, we'll get changes to the map, a new Battle Pass with plenty of new cosmetics to unlock, and a bunch of new and returning items to the game – that's par for the course with any Fortnite season, after all! We'll be updating this page as soon as we know more, so be sure to check back later!

Regular Show in Fortnite: Release date and what to expect
One of the most underrated shows around, Regular Show is set for a crossover with Fortnite. Chronicling the bizarro adventures of Mordecai and Rigby, and their equally madcap friends, Regular Show is certainly an unexpected collab, but not an unwelcome one. So, with a Regular Show x Fortnite crossover now confirmed, here's what you need to know about the release date and what to expect. Regular Show in Fortnite release date The Regular Show x Fortnite collaboration will be released on 30th January 2026. While a window of around a week had initially been suggested by leakers, the official date was confirmed by Epic Games in a teaser trailer posted to social media. View oEmbed on the source website The trailer features Mordecai and Rigby yelling for 12 seconds in various locations on Battle Royale Island while the players around them go down. What to expect from Regular Show in Fortnite Epic Games hasn't explicitly confirmed what's coming in the Regular Show update to Fortnite, but thanks to the aforementioned trailer and information from leakers, we have a pretty good idea. Dataminer Blortzen posted a list of cosmetics set to be added to the game via X. The cosmetics in question are: Mordecai Mordecai skin (with LEGO style) Back Bling Pickaxe Skips Skips skin (with LEGO style) Back Bling Fist of Justice Pickaxe Rigby Rigby Sidekick (with I'm Eggscelent Trucker Hat style), and VFX Emote Banner As well as all of this, there will be two Emotes added to the game. The first is Mordecai and Rigby's "Ohhhhhh", while the second is a skipping emote. As for how much this will all cost, we aren't too sure, but we imagine that both skins will be available for 1,500 V-Bucks, while the Rigby Sidekick will cost around 1,200 V-Bucks. Emotes, Back Blings and Pickaxes will all cost between 300-800 V-Bucks, and there will be bundles available for players to purchase the whole package for between 3,000-4,000 V-Bucks.

Steam Frame first reactions arrive online as developers praise Valve's new headset
As the world waits in anticipation for the release of new Steam hardware, some lucky developers who have received Steam Frame dev kits haven’t been able to contain their excitement, sharing opinions with others, or outright streaming their thoughts. Hopefully, we'll get word on how developers are taking to the Steam Machine, though opinions could be soured depending on how much it costs. It’s hard to ascertain what sort of NDA Valve has in place. Realistically, they could be encouraging people to start 'leaking' information in a grassroots-esque marketing campaign, or people are risking invoking Gabe Newell’s wrath, but what matters to us is the fact that we’re getting solid information and impressions beyond the initial press previews, where journalists only got a few hours with each device. Gamertag VR took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his friends’ thoughts on the Steam Frame, though this could easily just whiff of "My dad works at Nintendo". View oEmbed on the source website Alternatively, you could just look to Godot lead XR (Extended Reality) developer, Bastiaann Olij, who took to YouTube to do a livestream on how to get Godot XR games working on the Steam Frame, with express permission from Steam (though they have not yet sent him a Steam Controller, much to his disappointment). View oEmbed on the source website Following the livestream, there is now "official support for AndroidXR and Steam Frame" in Godot 4.6, according to Bastiaann Olij, as seen on Bluesky. There’s supporting Steamworks Documentation for Godot integration as well, which explains how to do project setup and get Steam Frames features such as eye tracking and foveated rendering working, which will help a game become Steam Frame verified. Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google View oEmbed on the source website Earlier, Valve released its own documentation for the Steam Frame, where you could glean extra nuggets of knowledge, such as the Steam Frame controllers having full finger tracking support. But as for the livestream, Olij states that how Godot works with Steam Frame is subject to change, and extends this to the headset itself, saying, "Obviously, it’s still a dev kit, so who knows what will change in the next couple of months before it’s actually released". Valve has stated in the past that it hopes to release the Steam Frame in "early 2026", but there has been much speculation as to whether Valve might delay it owing to skyrocketing pricing for components. Though we don’t know what insight Olij has into the release timeline, to say that the Steam Frame will release in "the next couple of months" lends credence to the notion that Valve is confident it can stick to early 2026. As for what Olij thinks of the Steam Frame, one of his favourite things is how easy it is to take on and off, and how stable it is when the Steam Frame is popped up and resting on his forehead. The clip was also posted to X by Andrew Fox. View oEmbed on the source website What’s notable is that Olij wears glasses, and not just the thin rectangular ones from Specsavers, making this a genuine improvement over other headsets. Whilst this may not seem like groundbreaking news, the fact is that what makes or breaks a headset much of the time is how comfortable it is, though Olij has stated that he will get prescription lenses for the Frame. Olij also showed off the Steam Frame UI whilst launching into Lepton Dev, a "container for running Android apps on Linux devices such as the Steam Frame", and it looks very similar to the Steam Deck’s, which doesn’t come as much of a surprise. View Green Video on the source website Olij also refers to a "Squeeze" function with the Steam Frame controllers, which appears to be set to a grabbing function. This could lead to more natural-feeling interactions with objects in games. "Squeeze touch" and "Squeeze click" are also listed, but their functions are not. They also refrain from making comparisons to the Meta Quest 3, as he stipulates that he is "not doing a hardware review". All in all, the Steam Frame is shaping up to be a very exciting headset, and has certainly won the favour of a notable developer whose job is preparing a game engine to play nice with VR, which is very promising.

Will GTA 6 have a physical edition at launch? Rumours explained
We probably don't need to tell you that GTA 6 is going to be the biggest game of 2026, but GTA 6 is going to be the biggest game of 2026. It may potentially even be the biggest game of all time, but even that lofty status may not be a guarantee that there will be a GTA 6 physical edition. We've come a long way since the days of GTA 5, and more and more games are going totally digital. So, will GTA 6 be getting a physical edition or is it going discless? Here's what you need to know. Will GTA 6 have a physical edition at launch? Rumours explained At the time of writing, Rockstar Games has not confirmed whether or not GTA 6 will be getting a physical release, but recent leaks appear to suggest that there will not be a physical edition of the game. Polish website PPE.pl has reported via leaker Graczdari, who correctly leaked the release dates of the Oblivion remaster, Switch 2 port of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and more, that there are currently no plans for a physical release. Graczdari, who reportedly works in physical game sales for the European market, has confirmed that Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive has no plans for a physical edition of the game at launch. That being said, when the physical edition will arrive is still very much up in the air, with different reports ranging from several weeks to several months. PPE's report cites Graczdari as having said, "We're hearing more and more that the physical version won't be released simultaneously with the digital version to prevent leaks. "We're getting conflicting reports: some say that the physical version with arrive three to four weeks after the digital release, while others say it won't happen until early 2027. More information will be available in mid-February." So, while we don't know for sure what the situation is regarding a physical release for GTA 6, if leaks are to be believed, GTA 6 will launch as a digital-only title before receiving a physical release in the weeks and months after launch.

Highguard voice actors: Full cast list and where you know them from
After a month of silence, and a surprisingly large launch, Highguard is here, and you might be wondering which actors have lent their voices to it. From the moment you set foot in the tutorial to taking down enemy bases, Highguard is full of great voice acting. But who's in the Highguard cast? We've got the full list of voice actors and where you might know some of them from to help you out. Highguard voice actors: Full cast list and where you know them from Here is the full list of voice actors in Highguard and who they play in-game: Abubakar Salim – Atticus Brent Mukai – Redmane Elle Newlands – Una Daisy Lightfoot – Condor Jonathon Ha – Kai Leila Birch – Mara Robbie Daymond – Slade Cherami Leigh – Scarlet Emily O'Brien – Air Operator JB Blanc – Trader Flynn As for where you might know these actors from, they all have multiple roles across video games, film and TV. Abubakar Salim, as well as playing Zau in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and Bayek in Assassin's Creed: origins, plays Alyn of Hull in House of the Dragon. Apex Legends players will recognise a few names here, including Elle Newlands who plays Horizon and JB Blanc who plays Caustic, as well as Kuben Blisk in fellow Respawn title Titanfall 2. Anime fans may recognise Robbie Daymond as Megumi Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen, as well as Chai in Hi-Fi Rush, while Charmi Leigh plays Liltotto Lamperd in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. Both Brent Mukai and Jonathon Ha appeared in some big 2025 releases, with Mukai as Mad Goro in Ghost of Yōtei and Ha as the male protagonist in Where Winds Meet. Finally, we have roles in some big name series for Daisy Lightfoot (Varga in Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Zero in Marvel Rivals), Leila Birch (Lena in Dying Light) and Emily O'Brien (Amelie/Bridget Strand in Death Stranding, Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series).

Highguard Steam charts and player count: Has it beaten Concord?
After a bizarre marketing campaign that saw a reveal video at The Game Awards 2025 and not much else, we’ll be taking a look at the Highguard Steam charts and player count, and look to see if the elusive PvP shooter has beaten Concord. If anything, Geoff Keighley was certainly very excited for it, but many gamers have quite strong opinions on the veteran journalist and host's tastes, as immortalised by X (formerly Twitter) user Hatty_ (preserved by Nintendo out of Context). In regard to Concord, ever since its demise, there has been a general malaise when it comes to online games, as the market became saturated with them as publishers scrambled to chase after Fortnite’s success. View oEmbed on the source website With that in mind, Highguard was always going to be up against it. But can it weather the storm? Read on! Highguard Steam charts and player count: Is it a hit? Highguard reached a peak player count of 97,249 according to Steam DB. Whilst this seems like a fairly strong number for a game that has just released, as of writing, it has dipped down to 11,128. The peak player count was down by half at 11 PM GMT, just five hours after the game launched. As for whether Highguard is a hit, well, you could say it hit the ground with a bit of a thud. Currently, Highguard has a Mostly Negative rating on Steam, based on around 15,000 reviews. There was much ill-will towards the game on social media, and so many of these might just be in bad faith, but there is valid criticism, such as from Steam user Swervey 'Ascoobis' Doo, who wrote after 6 hours of play that "above all the game is boring," adding that "there are no NPCs to populate the maps, meaning the only engagment with the maps is looting extremely surface level loot". Later, they edited the article to include a follow-up, saying: “I went back to see if I was being unfair, and no I was not. This is actually one of, if not the most dull multiplayer PvP game I have ever played. It got to a point where I was begging for my last game to end.” Suffice to say, whilst Highguard might be down at the moment, it certainly isn’t out. It’s only natural for the player count to drop as it gets later on in the day, especially on a Monday evening when many of us would be recovering from a first day back at work after the weekend. By all accounts, when compared to Concord, Highguard is a smashing success, as Firewalk Studios’ ill-fated PvP shooter only reached a peak player count of 697 according to Steam DB. However, Highguard hasn’t reached the kind of numbers achieved by other recent online titles, such as Marvel Rivals, which peaked at 644,269 players shortly after it launched. Apex Legends, which many Wildlight Entertainment developers had worked on, reached a 24-hour peak player count of 168,512, as of writing, which is slightly lower than the usual 180,000 or so it manages. View Green Video on the source website Certainly, the signs are not good for Highguard, but we currently have no insight into how many are playing the game on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S. As Highguard supports cross-play, it could manage to nurture a large enough pool of players to sustain itself, but this remains to be seen. Hopefully, Highguard can improve its standing with players and grow into a success, but with more games coming out all the time, the competition for players’ attention is fierce.

OSRS Deadman: Annihilation – Release date and start time for DMM Annihilation explained
First announced in last year's RuneFest Summit, the next variant of Deadman Mode is finally coming to Old School RuneScape – Deadman: Annihilation. DMM Annihilation is the next instalment in one of the most popular limited-time modes that Jagex has introduced in recent years, giving PvP players the chance to go absolutely nuts on each other for a few weeks. 2026 is a big year for OSRS, with Leagues 6 to look forward to later this year as well. But Deadman comes first, so if you're excited for DMM: Annihilation to kick off in OSRS, here's what you need to know about the release date and start time. OSRS Deadman: Annihilation – Release date and start time for DMM Annihilation explained Deadman: Annihilation is scheduled to begin on Friday 30th January 2026 in Old School RuneScape. This start date was confirmed in the recent Winter Summit that took place on 25th January. As for what time DMM Annihilation will start, while Jagex hasn't confirmed an exact time, we believe that the event will begin at around 5/6pm GMT. This is the time that recent editions of DMM have begun, with Jagex typically preferring an evening launch in the UK to give plenty of players the chance to start playing immediately. For those of you around the world, here's what 5/6pm GMT looks like in your time zone: US West Coast (PST) – 9/10am US Mountain (MST) – 10/11am US Central (CST) – 11am/12pm US East Coast (EST) – 12/1pm Brazil (BRT) – 2/3pm Central Europe (CET) – 6/7pm Singapore (SGT) – 1/2am, 31st January Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 4/5am, 31st January New Zealand (NZDT) – 6/7am, 31st January When does DMM Annihilation end in OSRS? Deadman: Annihilation will come to an end in OSRS on 20th February 2026. While that's the last day that you'll be able to get points, it's not the end of the event full stop, as players will still have the DMM Annihilation Finale to look forward to. One day later, at 6pm GMT on 21st February, players will have the chance to duke it out against the others in their combat bracket. Those of you who manage to make it all the way to the end will come out of DMM Annihilation with some nifty new in-game cosmetics – no real-world prize pool this year, unfortunately!

GTA 5 cheats: Full list of cheat codes for Xbox, PS5, PS4 and PC
Have more fun with these GTA 5 cheat codes on Xbox, PC, PS4 and PS5.
If fortune is on our side, then 2026 should be the year that gamers around the world can finally play GTA 6, but until then, we've got the full list of GTA 5 cheat codes for Xbox, PS5, PS4 and PC, with how to use them explained, so you can extract some extra fun whilst we wait! Considering the game is approaching 13 years old at this point, we reckon that it's not much of a faux pas to cheat in GTA 5 these days, regardless of whether you are playing on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 or even Xbox 360 or PS3. If PC gaming is just your thing, then you might want to peruse some GTA 5 mods, which can alter the game in far more profound ways than just cheat codes, such as GTA RP. Or, if you're after a more rootin' tootin' experience, then you can make the Wild West even wilder with cheats for RDR1 and RDR2. However, games this side of 2010 might prove a little too modern for your retro sensibilities, so we have done our due diligence to provide you cheats for other GTA titles, including GTA 4, GTA 3 and San Andreas. But as for all those Grand Theft Auto 5 cheat codes, scroll on down! Best GTA 5 cheat codes Our favourite GTA 5 cheat code is 1-999-BUZZOFF, which spawns a Buzzard attack chopper. Armed with miniguns and rocket pads, it's one of the best ways to cause chaos and have some mindless fun in the world. However, the best GTA 5 cheats to keep on hand are those focused on your health, weapons, and wanted levels. Regardless of the platform, bring up the phone number and enter the listed number of your cheat of choice. These are the cheat codes you'll want to know about: 1-999-887-853 [1-999-TURTLE] – Max Health and Armour 1-999-866-587 [1-999-TOOLUP] – Weapons and Ammo cheat 1-999-3844-8483 [1-999-FUGITIVE] – Raise Wanted Level 1-999-5299-3787 [1-999-LAWYERUP] – Lower Wanted Level 1-999-759-3483 [1-999-SKYDIVE] – Parachute cheat These cheats guarantee players don't run out of health, ammo, armour or weapons, and can keep those pesky cops away when they take offence to you eliminating half the population of Los Santos – or will even let players goad them into a high-stakes chase, just to demonstrate their immense power. A GTA money cheat would definitely make it into this list, but you'll need to find other ways to make money in GTA 5 as Rockstar hasn't added any money cheats. Stuck in a tight spot? These are also some handy ones to keep close: 1-999-727-4348 [1-999-RAPIDGT] - Spawn a sports car 1-999-762-538 [1-999-ROCKET] - Spawn a motorbike 1-999-2899-633 [1-999-BUZZOFF] - Spawn a helicopter 1-999-332-3393 [1-999-DEADEYE] - Gain slow-motion aim 1-999-7246-545-537 [1-999-PAINKILLER] - Become invincible If these didn't quite cut it for you, check out every GTA 5 cheat code you could imagine below.

How to use GTA 5 cheat codes While most GTA games allow players to type in a cheat code while the character walks around, GTA 5 has a few different ideas to mix up that formula. Depending on the platform, here's how to use GTA 5 cheat codes: On Xbox, PC or PlayStation, input the code on the controller at any time while wandering around the game world. On PC, press one keyboard button (¬ in the UK or ~ in the USA) and then type in the cheat code. On Xbox, PC or PlayStation, enter cheat codes on the in-game phone. Press up on the D-pad to bring up the phone, then enter the unique code. Activate the Black Cellphone cheat by dialling 1-999-367-3767, for example. This will cause a random explosion somewhere overhead, change the phone's colour, and make it a touch bigger than normal.

There's no money cheat code in GTA 5. The developers from Rockstar like players to have some fun with cheating, but they have not provided a way to make a ton of free cash, which is not in the least bit surprising. This applies to both single-player and multiplayer, with no GTA money cheat available for either. While that makes sense for GTA Online considering that's the big incentive for the mode and players are competing against each other, it's surprising not to see unlimited money in single-player. Previous games like San Andreas featured a cheat code to unlock $250,000, which could then be repeated endlessly. If Rockstar decides to roll out a money cheat, we'll make sure to update this piece. In the meantime, there is an infinite money hack workaround that is worth trying out to get some extra cash.
