Steal the Brainrot has found its way to Fortnite’s Creative mode and is proving to be just as popular as the Roblox experience it’s inspired by. Ferins, who is responsible for creating Steal the Brainrot island has mirrored the tycoon game, allowing Fortnite players a taste of stealing and buying brainrots, generating cash and locking their abses, as well as earning money offline.
There is also the bonus of Steal the Brainrot Fortnite codes, which give you boosted sever luck and the chance to spawn a variety of Brainrot Gods and Zombies. So, if you’re looking for all active Steal the Brainrot codes, IGN has you covered.

Reveals for Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming Spider-Man crossover set are in full swing, and we’ve got an exclusive first look at three new cards themed around the villainous Green Goblin. While four different versions of the Goblin himself have already been revealed (one of them by us back in March), today we have a first look at cards depicting his signature weapon, glider, and home base.
Here are all three of those new cards:
For me, the standout card here is easily Oscorp Industries, a Rare land with Mayhem, which means it can be played from your graveyard if you discarded it that turn. Mayhem is the featured mechanic of the black-red color pair that Green Goblin lives in for this set, and is a bit of a twist on an existing mechanic called Madness. This lets you wring out some extra value by essentially negating the downside of other cards that have you discard as an additional cost.
But what makes Oscorp Industries especially notable is that it’s the first real land with either Mayhem or Madness on it. There was one before this, but it was a non-legal “playtest” card called Madlands from last year’s Mystery Booster 2 set, which now makes what seemed like a goof at the time actually a bit of a tease for what was to come. (Speaking of playtest cards, I recently wrote all about the Unknown events that put them directly in the hands of its players.)
Given the discard theme, the other two Green Goblin cards we are revealing today make a whole lot of sense. Pumpkin Bombardment is a simple Common removal spell that costs a single red or black mana to cast, but comes with the additional cost of either paying two more mana of any color or discarding a card – an effect that could actually be beneficial with the right Mayhem cards in your hand.
For example, Rocket-Powered Goblin Glider, which is a Rare equipment that automatically equips itself to a creature if you use its Mayhem ability to cast it. This isn’t the most exciting equipment in the world if you have to pay the full three mana to cast it and then two more to equip, but doing both for just two mana and cheating the otherwise detrimental discard effect of another card sounds pretty appealing to me in the right deck.
Of note, if you only play Magic: The Gathering on the digital MTG Arena client, you won’t see these exact cards show up there. Wizards of the Coast previously revealed that Spider-Man would be entirely reskinned as part of an initiative called “Through the Omenpaths” for its online releases. We don’t have the alternate looks for these three to share today, but the full card image gallery for that version of the set will be going live on September 8.
Microsoft has confirmed the Xbox Game Pass September 2025 Wave 1 lineup of titles, which is headlined by Team Cherry’s hotly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong.
But first, available today, September 2, is I Am Your Beast (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard. Here’s the official blurb from Microsoft’s announcement post on Xbox Wire:

Break your opponents. Use their own equipment against them. Duck into your tunnel network before enemy forces zero in on your location. Repeat.”
Tomorrow, September 3, sees Nine Sols (Xbox Series X|S) via Game Pass Standard. “Nine Sols is a lore-rich, hand-drawn 2D action-platformer with Sekiro-inspired, deflection-based combat. Embark on a journey through an Asia-inspired fantasy world, explore a land once ruled by an ancient alien race, and follow a vengeful hero on a quest to slay the 9 Sols — the powerful rulers of this forsaken realm,” Microsoft said.

Lead from the ramparts, push back the darkness, and hold fast against the creatures of the Mist.”

Space Marine 2 offers just a slice of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, presenting the Ultramarines chapter of Space Marines against two enemy factions: the Tyranids and the Thousand Sons traitor legion. This, its developer has said, has led to some “assumptions” about the Warhammer 40,000 universe that are untrue — assumptions that have become widespread as a result of the game’s huge success.
Speaking to IGN at gamescom 2025, Tim Willits, development chief at Saber Interactive, said Space Marine 2’s popularity had opened the door to the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 setting for an army of new fans who aren’t necessarily clued up about the intricacies of the universe.
“I heard that lots of people now think that Thousand Sons are the only Chaos faction because that’s what we had in the game,” Willits said, reflecting on Space Marine 2’s first year.
“And so people are like, ‘Oh, I guess Thousand Sons, they’re Chaos.’ It’s like, ‘Actually no it’s not.’ They’re actually just a small faction. But people are just like, ‘That’s the one I played against.’”
Indeed, there is a long list of Chaos factions within the setting. If there’s an antagonist of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, it’s probably Abaddon the Despoiler’s Black Legion, who do not feature in Space Marine 2. Other traitor legions include the Death Guard, the Emperor’s Children, Iron Warriors, Night Lords, World Eaters, Word Bearers, and the Alpha Legion. But then there are Chaos-aligned renegade Space Marine chapters, warbands, and smaller groups to contend with. Yes, it’s a lot!
This assumption about Chaos extends to the Space Marines themselves. The Ultramaines — considered the poster boys of the Warhammer 40,000 setting and the chapter used by Games Workshop itself when introducing newcomers to the tabletop via starter sets — are the protagonists of the Space Marine 2 campaign, although many other factions are available to play as in the PvE and PvP modes.
“People have assumptions about the Warhammer 40,000 universe that are not correct,” Willits continued. “Like Thousand Sons being the only Chaos faction. That is kind of humorous. And like, ‘Oh Space Marines are only blue!’ That has been quite humorous to be honest, which is good for us.”
Indeed it is good for Saber Interactive, which has seen the star of Space Marine 2, Lieutenant Titus, not only become an official part of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game via his own model and datasheet, but immortalized via a star turn in the superb Warhammer 40,000 episode of Amazon’s Secret Level animated anthology.
Games Workshop has benefited greatly from Space Marine 2’s success as well, and not just in terms of licensing revenue. Anecdotally, staff at the company’s stores report a flood of newcomers who cite Space Marine 2 as their entry point. Clearly hoping to capitalize on the interest, Games Workshop recently announced the first ever officially licensed wearable Space Marine helmet — styled after Lieutenant Titus from Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 of course.
One of the big questions going into the already confirmed Space Marine 3 is whether Saber will venture beyond the Ultramarines and the Thousand Sons in terms of the next campaign. The story seems to set up the addition of the Necrons, which at this point probably wouldn’t come as much of a surprise for Space Marine 3. But could other Space Marine chapters also appear? Perhaps other Chaos factions, too? We asked Willits about Space Marine 3, but he remained tight-lipped.

Hold on, Hollow Knight fans — we’re almost there. Hollow Knight: Silksong is slated to release this coming Thursday, September 4 on PC, Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series for $19.99 / €19.99 / ¥2300.
The highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning metroidvania sees us play as Hornet as we journey to all-new lands, discover new powers, battle vast hordes of bugs and beasts, and uncover ancient secrets tied to your nature and your past.
Team Cherry finally revealed Hollow Knight: Silksong’s September 4, 2025, release date at gamescom. We learned the news via a nearly two-minute trailer dropped by Team Cherry, which showed a ton of new footage from the game. We see Hornet exploring, loads of new insectoid NPCs, dreary graveyards, swamps, a bustling city, new enemies, new bosses, an Ori-style escape sequence, and more.
Here’s when the game will unlock for you in your timezone, as confirmed by Team Cherry earlier this week. And no, there’s no way to unlock early access, I’m afraid.

Players jumping into Hollow Knight: Silksong on Nintendo Switch will be able to upgrade to the “enhanced” Switch 2 version for free.
That comes from Team Cherry itself, which explained in an update on Kickstarter that while OG Nintendo Switch keys will be delivered directly to backers via email, Switch 2 players will need to download the Silksong Upgrade Pack from the eShop to unlock “enhanced features” (thanks, Eurogamer).
“For Nintendo Switch 2 players, after redeeming your Nintendo Switch key and downloading the game, you will additionally need to download the (free) Hollow Knight: Silksong Upgrade Pack from the eShop to unlock the platform’s enhanced features,” Team Cherry advised.
Though not explicitly confirmed, this suggests the upgrade pack will be available to all Silksong fans playing on Switch 2, regardless of backer status.
Backer surveys close later today, so if you backed the team on Kickstarter, you have just hours to get your survey completed to get your game key, so don’t hang around!
“I didn’t receive a survey, but I would honestly prefer to buy the game to support you guys anyway,” commented one happy player. “It has been so long that I actually forgot I was a backer of the original! Congrats on finally getting here Team Cherry!”
Hollow Knight: Silksong will retail for just $19.99. Yes, really. While there were a lot of rumors over the last few days — including a $20 price on Gamestop (since removed) that was later corroborated by noted leaker Billbil-kun — developer Team Cherry has now confirmed it, revealing the game will retail for $19.99 in the U.S., €19.99 in Europe, and ¥2300 in Japan.
Team Cherry finally revealed a release date for the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong at gamescom: September 4, 2025. Expect loads of new insectoid NPCs, dreary graveyards, swamps, a bustling city, new enemies, new bosses, an Ori-style escape sequence, and more. It’ll be available on PC, Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S.

Oscar-nominated Canadian actor Graham Greene has died aged 73.
Greene secured an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Lakota medicine man Kicking Bird in Kevin Costner’s 1990 epic western, Dances With Wolves.
But he starred in scores of films and TV shows in a career spanning 45 years, including 1992’s Thunderheart, 1994’s Maverick opposite Mel Gibson, and 1995’s Die Hard with a Vengeance, where he played Detective Joe Lambert opposite Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson.
Other notable roles include Arlen Bitterbuck, a Native American man on death row in prison, in 1999’s The Green Mile, and Harry Clearwater in 2009’s The Twilight Saga: New Moon. More recently, Greene played Old Smoke in the second season episode of Sylvester Stallone’s Paramount+ show Tulsa King, and Skully in Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries Echo.
Greene has a notable video game credit: Rains Fall in Rockstar’s 2018 western masterpiece Red Dead Redemption 2. Greene provided voice and motion capture for the character. In a 2018 interview with Vulture, Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser called Greene’s work in the seemingly small role “brilliant,” saying that his Native American chief character was “losing his rights as an independent king, and he’s a gentle soul in that violent world.”
One of his final roles was on FX’s American comedy-drama television series Reservation Dogs, which follows the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma. Greene will posthumously star in upcoming movie, Ice Fall starring Joel Kinnaman.
“It is with deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of award-winning legendary Canadian actor Graham Greene,” his manager Gerry Jordan said in a statement to CBC News, which reported he died of natural causes on Monday in Stratford, Ontario. Greene was also a member of the Order of Canada.
“He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed,” Greene’s agent Michael Greene told THR. “You are finally free. Susan Smith [the actor’s longtime agent, who died in 2013] is meeting you at the gates of heaven.” Greene is survived by his wife, Hilary Blackmore, and his daughter Lilly Lazare-Greene.

Still, in the run-up to then, we’re still seeing some spaceship synergies (the set after Spidey) causing some market fluctuations, while now is a great time to pick up some Edge of Eternities cards.
Here are the big shifters for the start of September, as we prepare to swing into action.
MTG Climbers This Week
There’s an awful lot of love for Landfall this week, and much of that’s tied to the Edge of Eternities World Shaper precon.
I picked one up in recent weeks and have been very pleased with it, but now I might have to add a big ol’ bear, too. Lumra, Bellow of the Woods has seen a huge jump, rising from under $10 to almost $30 in the space of a few weeks.
This not-so-cuddly bear mills four cards when entering, then puts lands from the graveyard onto the battlefield. Not only does that power Lumra up, but it could allow Tannuk, Memorial Ensign to dish out a whole host of punishment.
It also gives the World Shaper’s Hearthull spacecraft plenty of lands to sacrifice for card draw and damage pings.
Sticking with World Shaper, Valakut Exploration could be explosive, too. You can use it to exile cards to use for a big hit of damage.
It’s up to around $5, having cost barely anything just a few weeks ago.
Next up, I’ve recently spotted a surprising team-up between Sonic the Hedgehog and the Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant. The latter is up to $4 thanks to synergy with the Blue Blur, with the card giving other creatures with counters flying and haste.
That becomes a nice cycle of triggering an attack with Sonic, adding counters to other creatures, and then having them get flying and haste. Then, you can turn that into Treasure tokens, too.
If you want to try this combo, have fun – Sonic is just $3 right now, while Winged Hive Tyrant is on the climb but still under $5. There’s a bunch of brillaint Sonic cards up for grabs right now as well, if you’re not keen on picking up the full Secret Lair set.
MTG Crashers This Week
We’ve already mentioned him, but Tannuk, Memorial Ensign is a great card for aggressive landfall decks, and he’s down to just a 25-cent market value.
Given the synergies he has with the World Shaper deck and other cards we’ve mentioned here, that’s a steal.
It’s also not often to find an Eldrazi on the cheap, but Emrakul, the World Anew has seen a drop off in recent weeks.
This colorless 12/12 can gain control of opponents’ creatures and then sacrifice them, too. It’s a big cost mana-wise, but the dollar value has dropped to around $8.
Exalted Sunborn has dropped significantly, too. It’s still almost $20, but this flying, lifelink Angel Wizard (what a combo, by the way) is dropping a couple of dollars and could drop further.
Starfield Vocalist’s more expensive versions remain pricey, but the basic rare is down to $1.49. Given it gives you double triggers on ETB effects, it could be worth looking at.
Finally, The Seriema was one of the first cards revealed, and it’s dropped from $40 right down to $1.49 over the last month.
Given you’d have paid not far off that for a single deck not that long ago, you’re now essentially getting each for under MSRP at under $44 each.

Battlefield 6 doesn’t have ray-tracing, and its developer has said there are no plans to add the feature down the line.
While ray-tracing has been notably missing from Battlefield 6’s open beta tests, it wasn’t entirely clear if this was just because the game was in beta or if it was a deliberate choice. Turns out, it’s the latter.
Despite being a popular inclusion in some games, ray-tracing’s more natural method of simulating lighting can also prove to be draining on your PC or console’s system resources — and it’s for this reason that the competitive shooter won’t include it. Indeed, Christian Buhl — studio technical director at Ripple Effect, one of the studios working on Battlefield 6 — has told Comicbook that while the PC version of Battlefield 6 will have over 600 different options in its settings menu, “ray-tracing won’t be one of them and there’s no plans to bring it into the game in the near future.”
“No, we are not going to have ray-tracing when the game launches and we don’t have any plans in the near future for it either,” Buhl said. “That was because we wanted to focus on performance. We wanted to make sure that all of our effort was focused on making the game as [optimized] as possible for the default settings and the default users.
“So, we just made the decision relatively early on that we just weren’t going to do ray-tracing and again, it was mostly so that we could focus on making sure it was performance for everyone else.”
While most people would likely sacrifice visuals to preserve performance during multiplayers mode, this may be disappointing news for some players who’d hoped to have ray-tracing in Battlefield 6’s upcoming single-player campaign, when the time comes to play.
Earlier today, we highlighted a nine-minute slice of Battlefield 6’s battle royale mode that has leaked online. This particular video not only gives a good look at what to expect from the mode, but also reveals a couple of gameplay mechanics we didn’t previously know about, too, including swimming, one of the gadgets, and its “massive map.”
Battlefield 6 releases on October 7. We’re having a great time with what we’ve played so far, writing in our Battlefield 6 review-in-progress: “Right now, even in beta form, Battlefield 6 might be the most fun shooter I’ve played this year.”

Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima has announced plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of establishing his own studio, Kojima Productions, with an event in Tokyo later this month.
Hosted by Kojima himself, the “celebratory event,” entitled Beyond The Strand, will include guest appearances “as well as offer a glimpse into future projects.” It’ll take place at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, Japan, on September 23, 2025.
Fans in the vicinity can enter a lottery to be in with a chance of securing a ¥7700 — the equivalent of around $50 — when tickets go on sale tomorrow, September 2. Or, alternatively, you can watch the action online.
Right now, it seems unlikely we’ll see much of Kojima’s mysterious upcoming PlayStation game Physint — as the developer recently told us the game remains “at the conceptual stage”. More likely, perhaps, we’ll get to know a little more about Kojima’s horror project OD, which is still in development in collaboration with Microsoft, despite Xbox’s recent cancellations of a number of projects, both internal and external.
Kojima first announced his OD collaboration with Xbox in November of 2022, then officially revealed OD along with several of its star cast members at The Game Awards 2023. We learned at the time that Kojima was working with filmmaker Jordan Peele to create a horror experience “no one has seen before.”
