As a Switch fan, I’m really digging these latest updates! Nintendo’s adding new icons to show if a game is a physical cartridge or a digital download – the physical ones will have red icons, and digital games will have black ones, which is a nice touch. But the biggest changes seem to be for the Switch 2. They’ve tweaked GameChat so your game won’t pause when you’re chatting with friends online, which is awesome. And they’ve even made the battery charging limit setting more user-friendly – it now clearly says “Stop Charging Around 80-90%” instead of something more technical. It’s little things like these that make the Switch experience even better!

Destiny 2 hasn’t performed as well as we’d hoped since we bought Bungie, partly because the competitive gaming landscape has shifted, explained CFO Lin Tao (as reported by The Game Post).

Reggie still loves video games and happily discusses them whenever he can, as he recently did in an interview with Christopher Dring from The Game Business.

Members of the press attended a presentation by producer Light Zhong and lead designer Ryan, followed by a question-and-answer session based on questions submitted in advance by news organizations.

Valorant has seen a lot of activity in the latter half of 2025, marking its fifth anniversary. Riot Games has released numerous updates to the five-on-five shooter, including significant redesigns of agents and maps. These changes have been extensive, impacting the entire roster of agents.

The next roster update for Madden 26 is expected to be released on Thursday, November 13th, 2025. It should become available just before the Patriots play the Jets on Thursday Night Football. While EA Sports usually releases updates around this time, the date could shift slightly.

Lumines hasn’t seen a major release in about ten years. The new game, Arise, adds a synesthetic element, but the basic gameplay remains the same. Blocks made up of four colored squares fall onto a grid. Your goal is to arrange these blocks so that squares of the same color touch, merging them into larger areas. Bigger merged areas mean higher scores.

This game features a man stuck in a time loop with a twist: each loop alters his abilities and identity. As you play, you retain memories and knowledge from previous loops, which unlocks new conversations and possibilities as the story progresses.

Interestingly enough, for a period, the game Lumines – a title released with the PlayStation Portable and made by Tetsuya Mizuguchi of Enhance – held that same reputation.

Even though 2026 is set to be the year of Grand Theft Auto 6, there are plenty of other games releasing in the next 12 months that are going to have plenty of intrigue around them. That includes Agefield High: Rock the School.
