In case you missed it, Splatoon 3 has been updated to version 10.0.0, bringing with it a whole bunch of new content, but also improving the game’s visuals and performance for those playing on Switch 2.
But how has it been improved, exactly? Well, the above video should clear things up quite nicely for you. We’re mainly looking at bumps in resolution and frame rate, and this is perhaps most obvious within the Splatsville hub area, which notably at a stable, albeit sluggish 30fps on the Switch.
Right now, the concurrent player peak is almost 105,000, but that’s the seventh all-time peak the game has set since I started writing this story. There’s no doubt player numbers will continue to climb, especially as we move into the weekend.
PC-specific features include AI upscaling via Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unlocked framerate, Japanese and Chinese voiceover, ultrawide display support, higher resolution environment textures, and DualSense support for haptic feedback and trigger effects.
Stellar Blade has done so well for developer Shift Up that a sequel is already confirmed. The Sony-published action game launched to a positive response back in April 2024, with players saying its gameplay mixed elements of NieR: Automata and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
IGN’s Stellar Blade review returned a 7/10. We said: “Stellar Blade is great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but dull characters, a lackluster story, and several frustrating elements of its RPG mechanics prevent it from soaring along with the best of the genre.”

The first part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy may have just been announced to be coming to Xbox, but for the time being, the second chapter, Rebirth, is one of the best games only available for PS5 and PC.
If you’ve not yet picked it up, however, you can save 50% on the ambitious open world entry in the saga thanks to Amazon-owned retailer Woot.
Save 50% on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Woot has slashed the price of the title from its MSRP of $69.99 down to $34.99 as part of its ongoing video game sale (which notably ends in just a few days time).
That’s not all, either. Because Woot is part of the Amazon family, the game includes the Amazon exclusive pre-order bonus from 2024: a nifty controller skin. You’ll find it in the box.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s huge world is made up of a series of hubs, allowing for a whole host of side objectives that players can find, including the legendary Golden Saucer amusement park.
For $35, you’re getting an unbelievable amount of additional content that could have you playing right through to Part 3.
In our review, we said, “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion, both as a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenges and an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long,” awarding it a 9/10.

Ever looked at the bulky helmets and garb of Elden Ring Nightreign‘s Nightfarers? Well, wonder no more, as one YouTuber has taken the mask off and shown the little details hiding underneath the coverings of Elden Ring Nightreign’s cast.
YouTuber Zullie the Witch posted a behind-the-mask look at Nightreign’s cast on June 5. All of them have distinct models, with some surprising details under the hood.
Some are just little curiosities, like Ironeye’s face being fully modeled from the front. Zullie also notes that the Nightfarers’ eye colors change depending on their skin. Other characters have some fun ties to other FromSoftware games, like the Duchess’ similarity to Dark Souls 3’s Firekeeper.
Revealing the face of characters like Ironeye or Executor is neat, but the real question I’m sure you’re asking is whether the avian Guardian is truly a bird, or if he has a human face underneath? Well, the answer is that yes, he is truly a bird. The Revenant also hides a skull beneath her porcelain facade, though, so there are still some surprises in store for those who haven’t seen them in-game yet.
While there aren’t any profound lore discoveries to be made here, they do add a little extra character to each of the Nightfarers, and show off FromSoft’s attention to detail, even down to the tiny things that would probably go unnoticed in most players’ runs of the game.
The one strange note is Wylder, who does not seem to have a face model at all. This might just be a design quirk, but it’s interesting to imagine there might be some deeper lore reason for his under-armor presence remaining a mystery.
Just in time for the arrival of the Switch 2, the award-winning and highly addictive roguelike bullet shooter Vampire Survivors has received a Nintendo platform update.
Most notably, it adds the cross-save feature to the Switch version – meaning you can now play your original or preferred save file across all the platforms you own the game on. We’ve installed this update and have also played it on the Switch 2.
