We originally planned for the civil war to be very reactive to player actions. The game would monitor if you killed Imperial soldiers, and based on that, we’d adjust the power balance in each region. If you weakened the Empire enough in a specific area through your actions, it would shift control towards the Stormcloaks, potentially leading them to launch an attack on the capital city.

Players first realized the game ran smoother when switching between accounts – one with all downloadable content (DLC) activated, and one without. According to de_Tylmarande, their mod doesn’t unlock the DLC itself; instead, it bypasses the game’s check for the DLC, avoiding a demanding process and resulting in a substantial increase in frame rate.

A Reddit user believes they’ve discovered the reason for performance problems in Monster Hunter Wilds, and the cause is surprisingly strange. Their research suggests that having more downloadable content (DLC) actually increases your frames per second (FPS). This happens because the game constantly checks which DLC you own, and this process somehow impacts performance. Importantly, it’s not due to the DLC content itself.

ZeniMax Online Studios recently announced updates to their popular online game, delivering new content in smaller, focused releases instead of one large update.

Despite the lack of official news, some fans are still optimistic that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be released this year. A Reddit user, Vanquisherofsnails, believes the game could launch on June 6, 2026 (6/6/26), though they haven’t shared the reasoning behind this prediction. This hope is fueled, in part, by the recent release of Bethesda’s Starfield.

When pre-orders started on the PlayStation Store, people noticed Avowed costs $50 for the standard version and $60 for the premium version. This raised eyebrows because even Indiana Jones hasn’t gotten a price reduction on PlayStation 5. This has led some to wonder if those who purchased the game on Xbox Series X/S or PC have reason to feel slighted.

Zhou Yizhou isn’t as hard to become friends with as some characters, but figuring out how to win his favor can be a little challenging. This guide explains exactly how we managed to befriend him. Here’s how we did it.

2026 looks like a big year for FromSoftware. They’re releasing a new multiplayer game, The Duskbloods, sometime this year, which is great news. But it seems they have even more projects in the works. FromSoftware usually has multiple games being developed at once – they released the huge Elden Ring only three years after Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. While they often surprise us, we can still make some reasonable predictions about what they’ll be working on in 2026.

Since releasing Where Winds Meet worldwide in November 2025, Everstone has consistently updated the online game with fresh content. The December 2025 update was particularly significant, increasing the game’s already large map by a full third. Along with the expanded zones, players enjoyed new story quests, special events, and challenging battles. Everstone continued this momentum with another substantial update in January, proving they weren’t a one-time success.

Since Skyrim became a fan favorite, many excellent fantasy role-playing games have been released. While some of the best open-world RPGs of the last ten years weren’t made by Bethesda, and it’s natural to revisit Skyrim while waiting for The Elder Scrolls 6, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, released in 2023, is actually a better game to play in the meantime.
