It’s just “not sure” if it could get it running well on Switch.
A sequel to SMITE has just been announced and if you’re wondering about the chances of a Nintendo Switch release, it’s not looking good.
When asked if the MOBA sequel was getting a Switch release by TechRadar Gaming, Titan Forge Games raised concerns about the “power level” of Nintendo’s current hybrid system and minimal technical specs. Fortunately, the team is still “open” to future platforms if anything is announced by Nintendo (like the rumoured successor system).

Faheem Rashad Najm, better-known as singer-songrwriter T-Pain, is living the dream: he gets to work on Grand Theft Auto VI alongside Rockstar Games. However, it seems like T-Pain’s new job is having unintended consequences.
In a livestream clip circulated on social media, T-Pain confirmed that he’s contributing to Rockstar’s anticipated sequel, which was finally revealed in 2023. In the course of bringing T-Pain aboard, though, it seems that Rockstar requested that he stop role-playing on NoPixel — a popular GTA 5 role-play server that runs on third-party servers.
At least one fan noticed that T-Pain was no longer on the server and asked what happened.
“I used to be on NoPixel, then I started working on GTA VI, and they told me I couldn’t do RP anymore because it kind of goes against… they had this whole speech, like, ‘What if somebody took your album and re-recorded it, and more people were listening to that,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay, I kind of get that, but I was having a good time. Alright that’s fine,'” T-Pain said.
Amusingly, Rockstar went on to hire the modding team behind role-play servers including FiveM and RedM, which was an irony that wasn’t lost on T-Pain.
“Then I started working on the game with them and then they teamed up with the people that make the RP sh*t, and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, what? What the f**ck?…Y’all tell me I can’t do this sh*t and then you team up with the people that enable the RP?” T-Pain said, laughing.
T-Pain didn’t elaborate on how exactly he’s contributing to GTA VI. IGN has reached out to Rockstar Games for comment.
T-Pain had been role-playing on NoPixel since at least 2021, when fans noticed that he had been whitelisted. According the server’s wiki, the idea behind NoPixel is to “talk, act, and proceed as the character you are playing.” The idea is to “create an immersive experience where players and viewers alike can experience stories and situations, in what is essentially another world.” GTA RP has been described as “essentially a gigantic long-running improv show,” making it a popular way to play among certain fans.
Elsewhere, not much is known about GTA VI right now, but it seems as if RP might have a significant (ahem) role to play in the upcoming sequel. For now, though, Rockstar Games is choosing to focus on the single-player story, which it showcased in its first trailer.
We’re sure to learn plenty more ahead of GTA VI’s 2025 release date. But in the meantime, plenty of fans are still playing on GTA V’s role-playing servers, just not T-Pain.

The top 10 in 2023 were all on Switch.

Activision and Raven Software are altering their plans to include the new Covert Exfil feature in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 1 Reloaded.
Raven made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), promising to rework the Warzone gameplay tweak after announcing it only a few days ago. The team says the decision arrived after seeing fan feedback about Covert Exfil’s inclusion.
However, Raven still feels strongly about the potential the addition could add and isn’t ready to give up on it yet.
“We believe that Covert Exfil and the gameplay loop it provides, paired with the Weapons Case, will make for an exciting addition to #Warzone,” the post explains. “That said, we’ll instead launch both of these features in an upcoming dedicated mode.”
Information on how Covert Exfil will be reintroduced is being kept under wraps for now. Raven adds, “We’re looking forward to the new challenges that these features will provide and to your continued feedback once the mode is available.”
Covert Exfil was revealed as a feature that essentially allows players to leave a Warzone game early by purchasing one of only a few available exfil opportunities available to players each match. In other words, if you pool your money quickly enough and make it to a Buy Station, you can have a successful game without being the last team standing.
With the added possibility of exfiling with a Weapons Case full of goodies, many players worried that Warzone was becoming less of a Battle Royale and more like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s DMZ mode. Players are relieved to see Covert Exfil plans reversed, but they might be even happier to see that Raven is listening to its fans.
“This reactivity is amazing!” Warzone Loadout said on X. “Good compromise to first test it in a dedicated mode.”
“This is why I love Raven Software,” CPreds said. “Community feedback is welcomed and listened to. Keep up the great work!”

Warzone is meant to be an ever-evolving mode, so time will tell if and when Covert Exfil will make a comeback. Until then, Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded is set to launch on January 17.

11-year-old game Resident Evil Revelations recently released an update that apparently introduced DRM, only to swiftly roll back the patch after complaints from players that it reportedly caused performance issues. Capcom aren’t giving up that easily on their vow to crack down on mods, though.
Small but mighty.
Pokémon GO auto-catch companion devices are a top-tier way to ensure that you never miss a ‘mon while out and about. Since 2016, these devices — which automatically spin PokéStops and catch the critters you pass — have come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with designs to wear on your wrist, clip to your bag, or (in the case of the Poké Ball Plus) carry in a tight grip as if you were Ash Ketchum himself.
