Resident Evil Requiem arachnophobia mods now let you swap spiders for Thomas the Tank Engine
If the thought of facing down giant, hairy arachnids in high definition is keeping you from playing Capcom’s latest hit, you’re definitely not alone. Resident Evil Requiem features a segment midway through the campaign that is essentially a nightmare scenario for anyone with arachnophobia, but the mods community has already stepped in to fix it just days after launch.
Practical fixes for a scary problem
For players who just want the spiders gone so they can enjoy the story, there are a few

Mexico returns to Red Dead Redemption 2 in massive new fan expansion
If you have ever stood on the edge of the San Luis River and wished you could cross into the hazy terrain beyond, the wait is finally over Mexico is now in Red Dead Redemption 2.
While Rockstar Games may have moved on to other projects, the modding community has been hard at work crafting the comeback that the southern region of the map has always deserved.

A user played Resident Evil Requiem 9 times and completed it in 2.5 hrs, here’s what they had to say
A user named Gene Park has already completed Resident Evil 9 times and anounced it on X, here is his condenced review:
Most survival horror games lose their tension the moment you know where the scares are hiding, but Capcom’s latest chapter is different. After rolling credits on Resident Evil Requiem nine times treating it less like a casual playthrough and more like a peer-reviewed study it is clear that this is the series’ most confident entry in ten years. It isn’t a flawless master

Discord delays age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs
Discord wants video selfies for age checks, but the recent breach has users pushing back
The platform confirmed that a “phased global rollout” was planned to kick off in early March, defaulting all users to “teen appropriate” views unless they prove they are adults. If you want to unblur sensitive media or access age restricted channels, you are going to need to check your age.

Sony’s new patent could finally let you pause multiplayer games without a button
It looks like PlayStation might finally have a solution that keeps you in the match without ruining your run. Sony is introducing the soft pause.
‘Soft Pause‘
According to a recent patent filing, Sony is developing a system that detects when you are distracted like checking a text or answering the door and automatically adjusts the game’s difficulty in real time. They are calling it “Soft Pause,” and it sounds like a game changer for anyone who has ever died while t

Imagine Dragons’ new 5v5 shooter Last Flag is live in beta
It’s not often you see a Grammy winning band, Imagine Dragons, pivot to game dev, but Night Street Games is doing things differently with this 5v5 shooter. The indie studio founded by Dan and Mac Reynolds has officially opened the doors to its first title, and it looks like a chaotic good time.
Think of Last Flag as a hero based shooter meets a televised competition from the 1970s. The core loop is a classic Capture the Flag.

The AI boom is driving a global RAM shortage that could delay next-gen consoles until 2029
If you were hoping to see a PlayStation 6 or the next Xbox sitting under your TV by 2027, you might want to get comfortable with your current setup for a few more years. The ram shortage means a big delay for consoles.
While we usually blame delays on game development hell or chip manufacturing hiccups, the latest hurdle is coming from an unlikely source. It turns out that teaching computers to write poetry and generate images requires a staggering amount of memory, and that demand is startin

From 17 hours to 300: Every GTA game ranked by playtime
Here is the shortest and longest GTA playtime ranked from release. It’s wild to think that we used to wrap up a Rockstar title in a single weekend.
Back in the PS2 era, you could see the credits roll before you even needed a haircut. But as the maps got bigger, our social lives got smaller.
We looked at the data and our own scary Steam logs to see how GTA has evolved from tight stories to lifestyle commitments with their playtime.

The Witcher Remake is ditching chapters for a fully open world
The original 2007 release of The Witcher 1 is a cult classic, but let’s be real the loading screens and linear paths haven’t aged gracefully. This is why the game is getting a full remake with an open world in Unreal Engine 5.
That friction is officially history. In a recent financial update, CD Projekt Red described the project as a “story-driven, single-player open-world RPG”. Confirming a massive departure from the restrictive, chapter-based design of the source material.

Ghost Recon leaks point to a brutal Vietnam setting, here is what you need to know
If the chatter holds up, the new Ghost Recon could be trading advanced tech for the claustrophobic heat of the jungle in Vietnam. Insiders are claiming the next entry will ditch modern urban battlefields to focus on a darker, more grounded experience where the environment is just as dangerous as the enemy.

GTA 6 might finally ditch the jet bikes and return to grounded street chaos
For years, the streets of Los Santos have felt less like a crime drama and more like a sci-fi warzone, but in GTA 6, Rockstar is reportedly stepping away from flying vehicles.
If you have spent any time in a public lobby recently, you know the frustration of trying to run a simple mission while dodging lock on missiles from a flying vehicle. It changes the entire vibe of the game, turning a grounded open world into a chaotic FFA where strategy barely matters.

Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, the first look at Amazon’s Tomb Raider
After months of speculation and a few heated fan debates, Amazon has released the first proper look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider series.
It’s a massive moment for the franchise. Since Amazon grabbed the rights and attached Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge to write and produce, the big question has been who could possibly step into the boots previously filled by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander.

Rockstar removed the viral Diddy mansion raid from GTA Online

The mission gained massive traction over the last few days, largely due to how quickly it turned a breaking news story into playable content.
Using GTA Online’s Creator tools, a player built a “Survival” mode map that staged a standoff at a luxury mansion, putting players against waves of SWAT teams.
