The official Final Fantasy VII account announced an upcoming update on X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the game’s launch on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S. The update includes new ‘Streamlined Progression’ options that let players customize their experience – they can choose to automatically deal maximum damage, have full HP, earn double experience points, or collect maximum Gil. Essentially, Square Enix is giving players control over how easy or challenging they want their Final Fantasy VII Remake playthrough to be.

Fortunately, the game is quite forgiving when it comes to hardware. You can run it with an NVIDIA GTX 1660 or AMD RX 6700 XT and either an Intel Core i5-9500K or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 processor. Even the recommended specs – an Intel Core i5-13500 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti or AMD RX 6700 XT – aren’t too demanding.

Fan art is essential to many gaming communities. It’s about more than just drawing characters—it’s how players truly connect with the games they enjoy. When fans create art, they express themselves, reimagine game worlds, and bond with others who share their enthusiasm. This creative process turns a personal gaming experience into a collective cultural movement, building strong communities through each piece of artwork.

Artificial intelligence is beginning to impact many creative areas, but it’s become especially common in the world of music.

It all began when a Valheim player known as Greg the Sorcerer shared a screenshot of a remarkably detailed Dollar General store he’d built in the game, as reported by PC Gamer. He jokingly said he was doing it to annoy his friends. The recreation is incredibly impressive, featuring a bright, glowing sign and even fluorescent lights inside.

A new movement style is now available to help with building and decorating. While a tutorial in the Island Designer app explains how to use it, some players actually found it themselves.

Re-Logic announced on the official Terraria website that the 1.4.5 update will be released on January 27th. They explained that a slight delay was necessary because they had to resubmit some files, pushing the release date back a little further than planned.
