Why Isn’t My Blue Lock: Rivals Code Working?

If your Blue Lock: Rivals code isn’t working in Roblox, it’s likely down to one of the three following reasons:

  • The Blue Lock: Rivals code is expired and no longer able to be redeemed.
  • There’s a typo in the code.
  • You’re not the required level to redeem the code. You need to be level 10.

When inputting a Blue Lock: Rivals code into Roblox, make sure it’s spelled correctly and that there are no accidental spaces either before or after the code. All the codes on this page have been tested by us and work at the time of submission, so we’d recommend copying and pasting codes directly from this article rather than typing them out yourself to avoid any errors.

Some codes require you to be at level 10 to be able to redeem it. If the code still doesn’t work, it’s more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed.

The Last of Us Complete Launches as Surprise Bundle for PS5

Naughty Dog has re-released both of its critically acclaimed The Last of Us games (again), this time as an all-in-one bundle for PlayStation 5 (PS5) called The Last of Us Complete.

The studio behind beloved PlayStation titles like Crash Bandicoot and Uncharted announced and launched its two-pack collection today. It’s a bundle that includes the 2022 remake The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for players to enjoy.

“Experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games,” an official description for The Last of Us Complete says, “featuring graphical and gameplay improvements made possible by the PlayStation 5 console.”

The Last of Us Complete comes with both mainline stories as well as the bonus content both have received in the years since their original releases. That means the Left Behind Ellie-focused prequel DLC, as well as The Last of Us Part 2’s No Return and Lost Levels content are all included. If you’re a fan of the HBO TV series retelling starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey but have yet to dive into the video games that started it all, you should know that the all-encompassing digital bundle costs $99.99.

As shared in a PlayStation.Blog post authored by Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann, a physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition is currently set to launch July 10 for $109.99, with pre-orders available now. It comes with a few extra goodies to justify the slightly increased price, including a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a thank-you letter from Druckmann.

“From our entire studio, thank you so much for your incredible support for The Last of Us and Naughty Dog over the years,” Druckmann’s post says. “This is such an exciting moment for both the franchise and our teams. We are so humbled by your personal stories of what the series has meant to you, have marveled at your incredible Photo Mode shots, and inspired to keep pushing ourselves forward to create more stories and worlds you’ll love.”

The Last of Us series launched for the PS3 in 2013, and while it has remained an undeniably beloved offering in the PlayStation catalog, its many re-releases and remasters have been the subject of criticism from naysayers and fans alike. Joel and Ellie’s adventure came to PS4 with improved graphics in 2014 and was then reimagined for PS5 with a remake in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2 continued Ellie’s story in 2020 and then went on to receive its own remaster in early 2024. Both stories have also since come to PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 arriving in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered arriving just last week.

The Last of Us Complete brings all of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic offerings together under one umbrella as yet another re-release. While many may be confused to see PlayStation revisiting Joel and Ellie’s world once again, the timing does coincide with HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2, which will premiere its first episode this Sunday. Season 3 was greenlit just yesterday.

For more on The Last of Us, you can read up on why many fans aren’t expecting to hear about The Last of Us Part 3 anytime soon. You can also check out how Druckmann and the rest of the team behind the show may continue the story in the future.

Free-to-Play Mythic Sci-Fi Action RPG Black Beacon Is Out Now on iOS and Android

Black Beacon is the newest title from publisher Glohow that recently launched on mobile devices. It’s a mythic sci-fi action RPG with a story that sees you travel through time and visit different eras of history to try to prevent catastrophe.

In this world, there are mysterious substances known as beacons that seemingly defy logic — they change size, shape, and texture depending on who’s observing them and how they’re observed. What stays consistent is their abyssal black color (which gives the game its name) and the fact that anomalies accompany them wherever they’re found.

Throughout human history, the phenomena these beacons created have been considered miracles or revelations, causing them to be worshipped as sacred objects. Ancient humans embedded them in obelisks, sealed them under temples, or cast them into stained glass frames.

That’s the background lore, but the story of Black Beacon picks up with you playing the Seer. You’ve been entrusted with the key to the Library of Babel, which is essentially an endless labyrinth that contains all possible permutations of the past, present, and future. You get a vision of a disastrous future, setting you on your time-traveling path to prevent it.

To accomplish that, you’ll need to gather a team of heroes. That starts with Zero and Ereshan, who will join up with you at the beginning of the story. Zero is a mysterious guardian of the Library of Babel who shows little emotion and doesn’t seem to care about worldly events. Ereshan is the granddaughter of the former director of the Library of Babel who was stripped of her inheritance when Zero showed up, leading to loathing that has since cooled.

You’ll have the opportunity to add plenty of other characters to your crew, from the affable Nanna to the intimidating Shamash to the elegant Viola. There’s more than 10 characters available at launch, with more to be added in the future.

You’re able to take three characters into each combat encounter; you only control one at a time, but can switch between them on the fly. Each character’s abilities are on individual cooldowns, so you need to swap them in and out quickly and efficiently to chain their attacks and abilities together in fluid combat.

The main story progresses in chapters that are further broken down into several stages, some of which are purely cutscenes while others are combat stages. Both advance the story forward and include full voice acting.

As you complete stages, you’ll earn rewards that can be used to improve characters or their weapons. Skill books are used to level up characters, and they each have unique abilities you can also level up. Once characters reach a certain level threshold, you’ll need certain items to let them “breakthrough” that threshold and continue gaining levels.

Weapons have a similar system. Each weapon starts with an innate rarity measured in a star level, up to 5 stars. You can level up weapons to a certain threshold, then use items to “breakthrough” that threshold and both power up the weapon and increase its star rating.

You can earn more of the items necessary for character and weapon progression outside of the main story in the Resources mode, which you can select from the main menu. You can choose to focus on items to level up, increase skills, or break through thresholds. Whichever version you choose, you’ll get new combat encounters that provide rewards for completion as well as goals specific to that stage, like completing it within a certain amount of time.

There’s also an EX mode, which basically acts as a tutorial to teach you how to use particular characters and a practice space to get better with them. And if you want to take a break and just hang out with some of the characters in your squad, you can do that too.

Black Beacon is available now for free through the App Store on iOS, Google Play on Android, and through Google Play Games if you prefer to play on a PC client. For more info, you can check out the game’s official website or follow along with the community on Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, or Discord.

Nintendo Switch 2 Bundles Are On Auction Sites for $300+ Above Recommended Retail Prices, But Fans Are Fighting Back

Nintendo fans in the U.S. may be feeling pretty hard done by now as the rest of the world fights for a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order, but some are fighting back by challenging and reporting every Nintendo Switch 2 auction listing they can find.

On eBay.com, Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are, at the time of writing, listed from anywhere between $468 to $855, with a lot listing Buy It Now prices of around $700-$750 — that’s $300 over the recommended retail price.

United in their frustrations both about the pre-order delay and the preponderance of over-priced pre-orders on eBay, however, players are working to take scalpers down together.

“If anyone wants to do their bit for society, go on eBay and report the scalpers,” said one Redditor. “I’ve had about 15 listings removed, spent literally minutes reporting them.”

“Reminder that preselling an eBay item is not allowed unless it will be shipping within 40 days of purchasing off eBay, (impossible for the Switch!), at least in the UK anyways,” said another, racking up almost 6,000 upvotes. The image attached showed a long list of confirmation emails from eBay stating that the content they had reported was removed.

Another jumped on Reddit to confirm they’d had “15 more scalpers removed from eBay,” while another player posted to say their actions saw 20 Switch pre-order listings scrubbed from the site.

So, just why are players having so much luck combating scalpers this time around? Well, that has to do with eBay’s very own terms and conditions concerning pre-sale items, which say “pre-sale listings must clearly state that they are ‘presale’ in the title and description, and guarantee shipment within 40 business days of purchase.”

“You’re not allowed to sell pre-orders on eBay because the seller doesn’t have, and it’s possible they will never actually get, the item they’re selling,” explained rmajor86 on a post that’s also been upvoted hundreds of time. “Just report the listing, and eBay will remove it.”

That said, things may change soon. As formerlyDylan pointed out, June 5 is 40 business days from today, April 10 (excluding Easter), and eBay’s terms and conditions state pre-sale items must “guarantee shipment within 40 business days of purchase.”

While this means scalpers may soon be able to legitimately list their pre-orders for sale across parts of the world where the console will release on June 5, fans may be able to continue to fight scalpers across the U.S. and Canada right up until those countries have a shipping date.

Nintendo Switch 2 arrives on June 5, 2025, with prices starting at $449.99, but the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order was delayed in the United States after import tariffs enacted by President Trump sent financial markets spiraling. Just a few days later, the issue spread across the border, with Nintendo Canada also confirming pre-orders would now be delayed there, too.

The tariff uncertainty and greedy scalpers have left some Nintendo fans concerned they may be priced out of the next-generation if the company goes even higher than the already controversial prices for the Switch 2 and its games, such as the $79.99 Mario Kart World.

Missed the Nintendo Direct presentation? Worry not — you can catch up on everything shown at the Nintendo Direct right here, and here’s a handy list for every game confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2.

Ubisoft’s The Crew Lawsuit Insists We Do Not Own The Games We Buy

Ubisoft has insisted that buying a game doesn’t give players “unfettered ownership rights” to it, only a “limited license to access the game.”

The megacorp’s comments come as it sought to dismiss a case brought by two unhappy The Crew players who took the company to court for shutting down its original racing game last year.

2014’s The Crew is no longer playable. No version of the game, whether it’s physical or digital or even if it’s owned already, can be bought and played in any capacity, with servers going dark completely at the end of March 2024.

Ubisoft took measures to create offline versions of The Crew 2 and sequel The Crew: Motorfest to enable players to keep playing, but no similar action was taken for the original.

At the end of last year, two gamers took Ubisoft to court, stating they had been “under the impression” they were “paying to own and possess the video game The Crew instead of paying for a limited license to use The Crew.”

“Imagine you buy a pinball machine, and years later, you enter your den to go play it, only to discover that the all the paddles are missing, the pinball and bumpers are gone, and the monitor that proudly displayed your unassailable high score is removed,” the initial lawsuit read.

As spotted by Polygon, the claimants accused Ubisoft of violating California’s False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law, and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, as well as “common law fraud and breach of warranty claims.” They also suggest Ubisoft broke California’s state law around gift cards, which are not allowed to expire.

The gamers also provided images that depict the activation code for the racer clearly shows that it does not expire until 2099, which they believe implies “that [The Crew] would remain playable during this time and long thereafter.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ubisoft does not agree.

“Plaintiffs allege that they purchased physical copies of The Crew under the belief that they were obtaining unfettered access to the game in perpetuity. Plaintiffs also take issue with the fact that Ubisoft did not offer to create an ‘offline, single-player option of the Game, otherwise known as a ‘patch’ when it shut down The Crew’s servers in March 2024,” Ubisoft’s lawyers wrote.

“The [essence] of the plaintiffs’ complaint is that Ubisoft allegedly misled purchasers of its video game The Crew into believing they were purchasing unfettered ownership rights in the game, rather than a limited license to access the game. But the reality is that consumers received the benefit of their bargain and were explicitly notified, at the time of purchase, that they were purchasing a license.”

The response further adds that the Xbox and PlayStation packaging contain a “clear and conspicuous notice — in all capital letters — that Ubisoft may cancel access to one or more specific online features upon a 30-day prior notice.”

Ubisoft has now filed a motion to dismiss the case. If that fails and the lawsuit does proceed, the two plaintiffs have demanded a jury trial.

Storefronts including Steam now include an up-front warning to customers that they’re buying a license, not a game. The change to Steam came after California governor Gavin Newsom signed a law forcing digital marketplaces to make it clear to customers that when they buy media, they only buy a license to that media.

It’s worth noting that the new law still doesn’t prevent companies from yanking your content away from you, but at least they’ll have to warn you about the true nature of your purchase before you click that buy button.
