If you followed Dispatch when it first came out, playing two episodes each week from October 22nd to November 12th, you experienced a unique kind of anticipation. You’d wonder what would happen next, but had to wait a week to play. Fans discussed theories and character motivations online, creating a lot of buzz. This experience really showed me that releasing a game in episodes can be incredibly effective. Most video games see a surge of players at launch, then numbers decline. But Dispatch was different – its player count actually increased each week. The hype and excitement grew with every new set of episodes, attracting new players constantly.

For $7.99, this pack adds two new characters you can play as, a new pet, a special trait, a cosmetic skin, and other goodies. It’s available now on PS5, Xbox, and Steam.

Planet Centauri launched in full in December 2024 after almost a decade of development. Despite boasting 138,000 wishlists on Steam, the indie project only sold 581 units in its first week, as Polygon reported.

I was so excited to read that the team behind Among Us is really into Stardew Valley! They said the little spacebeans in the game are dreaming of a peaceful life on a farm, away from all the spaceship chaos and Impostors. Apparently, they love the idea of just doing tasks without having to worry about who’s trying to sabotage everything – just like in Stardew! But that little ‘unless…?’ at the end has me wondering if maybe, just maybe, there’s still some sneaky fun to be had even on the farm!
