NTE codes (Neverness to Everness) May 2026

Ruby Spiers-Unwin — Sat, 09 May 2026 12:48:58 +0000

May 9, 2026: We added two new NTE codes to our list. The most recent freebies offer you up to 30k in fons to spend in-game right now! We can't get enough of this anime-style gacha game, and despite being pretty generous with currency, we'll never turn down NTE codes. The freebies you can pick up include hunter guides, dye, and annulith so that you can pull for new characters quickly and line your wallet with currency in no time. Whether you're saving up for a character from a specific NTE banner or you just want to make sure you're ready for the next NTE update, we're here to help. The streets of Hethereau will test you, and we want to make sure you're ready.

Hitmonlee | Pokémon guide

Quinn Collins — Sat, 09 May 2026 12:48:56 +0000

Even though Pokémon's Hitmonlee isn't much of a looker, this lad is pretty powerful if you know how to use it. Luckily, we're here to tell you all about it, including everything from fun facts to its base stats and moves in battle. Here's one for starters: did you know Hitmonlee prefers urban areas and isn't often found in the wild? Anyway, to fill up your Pokédex with Hitmonlee and all kinds of other delights, humanoid or otherwise, make sure you grab your fill of Pokémon Go codes and Pokémon TCG Pocket codes.

Exeggutor | Pokémon guide

Holly Alice — Sat, 09 May 2026 12:00:23 +0000

The Pokémon Exeggutor, known as the coconut Pokémon, is the evolved form of Exeggcute. While its pre-evolution does look like a bunch of eggs, Exeggutor is clearly a tree bearing round fruit. Especially its Alolan form, which sees it grow many feet taller. It's easy to get both variants and use them in battle, though. Exeggutor is, in our opinion, one of the best grass Pokémon designs out there, but if you want some more options, we recommend having a scroll through the entire Pokédex.

Echoes of Heian codes May 2026

Daz Skubich — Sat, 09 May 2026 09:56:45 +0000

May 9, 2026: We added two new Echoes of Heian codes to our list, which offer horse and race spins. We also checked for expired codes. Take back power from the RNG gods with our Echoes of Heian codes. That's right - these codes unlock free race and horse spins so that you can achieve the build of your dreams without spending all of your precious Robux. This magical MMO has so much to explore, so instead of spending your time hunting down codes, leave it to us. Bookmark this page and visit us whenever you're running low on spins.

Roria Conquest codes May 2026

Quinn Collins — Sat, 09 May 2026 09:45:44 +0000

May 9, 2026: We looked for new Roria Conquest codes, but the game is down at the moment, so you'll have to try again later - if it manages to come back at all. If you want a Poké-style creature collector without ever having to leave Roblox, this game is here to save you - and so are we, with Roria Conquest codes. We'll be honest - the line between harmless inspiration and conspicuous rip-off is very thin here, but the similarities at least mean that this Roblox game is a lot of fun. Codes can net you new balls to catch friends with, heals, revives, potions, and currencies, as well as boosts to your gameplay. You'll be the champion of Roria in no time at all with these, but keep in mind that many of them have a requirement in order to use them.

All Fish It rods and tier list

Holly Alice — Fri, 08 May 2026 15:53:39 +0000

Wondering which Fish It rods are the best for catching plenty of fish? Our tier list has them all ranked. Plus, we have a list of every single tool in the game and how to find it. Most rods give you a boost to your stats, too, which is nice. To help you get ahead in the game, use these Fish It codes for potions and help with the elemental rod quest. Then, go catch some Fish It fish using your shiny new tools!

Genshin Impact continues Sumeru's story, 1,164 days after we last left the desert

Holly Alice — Fri, 08 May 2026 15:42:26 +0000

The special program for Genshin Impact's version 6.6 just went live, and we got a good look at what the Traveler gets up to while heading back to Sumeru. Ah, Sumeru, the best archon quest out there, with luscious jungles, sprawling deserts, and downright evil Il Dottore making his in-game debut. The new update is called 'Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana', which is a title originally teased in the Chapter Storyline Preview from September 2020. This introduced the names of all the regions' quests, from Mondstadt up to Snezhnaya. It seems we've got a stop before we go to the land of cryo, though. It's been 1,164 days since the last Sumeru archon quest chapter (Caribert) went live, back in March of 2023. Now, in 2026, we head back to the nation of dendro to finish what we started. Nahida's in trouble again, Cyno, Tighnari, Kaveh, and Alhaitham are ready to meet up with us, and as we mentioned, Dottore is causing a ruckus.

How roguelikes like Slay the Spire 2 and Balatro changed my life, and why I love them for it

Connor Christie — Fri, 08 May 2026 15:29:27 +0000

I have a problem. If you'd asked me about my favorite genre of games just a couple of years ago, I wouldn't have known what to tell you. I'd have sounded like one of those annoying people who tell you they like 'all sorts' of music, which usually just means they like whatever is on the radio, rather than an actual eclectic taste ranging from Captain Beefheart to MF Doom. Now, I've discovered my favorite game genre, the roguelike. The problem is, I love roguelike games, including the likes of Slay the Spire 2, Hades 2, and Balatro, so much that I'm struggling to enjoy anything else. So, what is it about the roguelike genre that keeps me coming back for more? Well, dear readers, I am a depressed man. When I say I'm depressed, I don't mean I'm miserable; in fact, I like to think I'm pretty chipper, but if I spend more than ten minutes in a room on my own with nothing to occupy my mind, you can bet it won't be long before I start thinking about what happens when we die, the fabric of reality, and the eventual heat death of the universe. What I need is something that grabs onto my brain, almost like a parasite, and absorbs it. That's exactly what I get from the best roguelike games. When I'm playing Balatro, I'm thinking about what Joker card I need next, what Planet cards I could benefit from, and what deck I should pick for my next run. The same applies to Slay the Spire 2, as well as Hades 2, and that latter example might be even more egregious, as each run pushes the narrative a little further along in a way that always leaves you eager for more juicy lore tidbits. This engaging gameplay experience leaves very little room for existential dread, which can be a problem in games with massive open worlds that require lonely traversal or RPGs that aren't consistently challenging (with apologies to my beloved Pokémon).

The new SteelSeries headset is an essential companion for Switch and multiplatform gamers

Callum Self — Fri, 08 May 2026 14:35:54 +0000

I've never been shy about my love for SteelSeries. That might make me look somewhat biased, but on the other hand, when a company consistently produces hardware that runs circles around competitors, it's hard not to applaud what it's capable of. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni practically takes a swing at cutting down the price of the luxury Arctis Elite, bringing very similar audio quality at a lower price, and that makes this an essential addition to mine and anyone else's gaming setup.

Genshin Impact Lohen release date, voice actors, and lore

Holly Alice — Fri, 08 May 2026 13:25:35 +0000

Want to add to your Mondstadt-themed character collection? Then you're going to need to grab Genshin Impact's Lohen - and maybe his signature weapon, too. He's the latest in the lineup of the Knights of Favonius, and strikes a cool silhouette with a navy and white outfit. We've got all the new Genshin Impact codes here, so you can save for Lohen, and you can check our Genshin Impact banner guide to see when he's coming up. Our Genshin Impact tier list can help you pick some teammates for him, too.

Genshin Impact Nicole release date, voice actors, and lore

Holly Alice — Fri, 08 May 2026 13:14:11 +0000

After years of waiting, we finally get Genshin Impact's Nicole as a character we can pull. She's the first playable member of the Hexenzirkel group, debuting in the Nod-Krai story's patches. Also known as the Silent "Mage" and the Voiceless "Angel", she uses the pyro element and is sure to set our teams on fire. All the new Genshin Impact codes are in our guide, giving you free primogems and other helpful materials. You can also check our Genshin Impact tier list to see where each character ranks.

Exeggcute | Pokémon guide

Quinn Collins — Fri, 08 May 2026 12:23:55 +0000

A pretty iconic figure of the franchise, Pokémon's Exeggcute might be less iconic without its punny name, but we sure are glad for the commitment to the bit. There's lots to learn about our sextuplet friend, including that the closer it is to evolution, the more cracks will appear on its shells. Neat, right? In this guide, we also go into its evolutions, locations in-game, moveset, and more, so let's go and learn together. If you're desperately seeking Exeggcute to add to your Pokédex, we have some handy freebies in the form of Pokémon Go codes and Pokémon Pokopia Mystery Gift codes - hopefully, you'll have no problems tracking it down.

Electrode | Pokémon guide

Kayleigh Partleton — Fri, 08 May 2026 12:13:10 +0000

The Pokémon Electrode is an explosive creature, to say the least, being practically synonymous with the self-destruct move, because as long as it takes you out, it doesn't care. So, to help you learn what makes this 'mon tick, we're going to walk you through all of its strengths and weaknesses, locations, base stats, and more - you'll be an Electrode expert in no time. However, it takes a lot longer to become a true master, as you need to learn about every beast in the Pokédex, but we're sure you're up to the task. We're also sure you know what you're doing on your adventures, but that doesn't mean we don't want to help you get some freebies with our Pokémon Go codes guide.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially getting more expensive, but not just yet

Connor Christie — Fri, 08 May 2026 10:44:36 +0000

After months of rumors and speculation, it's official: the Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a price increase. Despite launching less than a year ago for $449.99, the top pick from our guide to the best handheld consoles will have a new $499.99 price point as of September 1, which, if math isn't your strong suit, is an increase of $50. Don't think you're getting away with it if you're reading this outside of the US, though. Unfortunately, the Switch 2 is about to get more expensive wherever you're reading this from.

Wuthering Waves finally shows the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners characters, including one free five-star

Holly Alice — Fri, 08 May 2026 09:37:42 +0000

Originally announced in April 2025, the Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collab is finally coming to the game in 2026, with two characters now confirmed via some really cool artwork. The two lucky Cyberpunk gals becoming playable Wuthering Waves characters are Lucy and Rebecca. They're both five stars, and guess what? Everyone gets a free copy of Rebecca! They join the roster as part of the Lahai-Roi updates, where they can make use of the motorbikes and futuristic setting. Solaris' latest chooms "will return home once their work is done", according to the trailer, so they're likely not hanging around in the story - but we can pull them and keep them in our teams and hearts.

Voltorb | Pokémon guide

Kayleigh Partleton — Thu, 07 May 2026 16:08:36 +0000

There's much to learn about the Pokémon Voltorb, especially as there's more than one version of it, and there are some differences between them that you need to be aware of. In this guide, we'll walk you through all the vital information you need for both Kantonian and Hisiuan Voltorb, including their strengths, weaknesses, and moveset. However, to be a true Pokémon master, you need to learn about all of the creatures in the Pokédex, so make sure you stop by our guide to discover who they are. We also have Pokémon Go codes and Pokopia mystery gift codes lists in case you'd rather spend your time chasing freebies.

I wasn't expecting a Lenovo Legion Go 2 price cut, but you can save over $500 with this deal

Connor Christie — Thu, 07 May 2026 15:21:38 +0000

Rising hardware prices have been quite the trend in 2026, so the last thing I was expecting was a massive discount on the Lenovo Legion Go 2. Still, that's exactly what's on offer right now, with Lenovo discounting the premium handheld down from $1,599.99 to $1,071.99, saving you over $500. Sure, it's still more expensive than a Steam Deck OLED, but if you're looking for something that can offer elite-level performance power, this is the one.

Upcoming mobile games coming in 2026

Ruby Spiers-Unwin — Thu, 07 May 2026 15:09:20 +0000

2025 was a big year for mobile gamers; we saw the release of Destiny Rising, Delta Force, and Persona 5: The Phantom X, but what are our most anticipated new mobile games coming soon? There are a lot of hype-inducing games on the way, but we've managed to narrow it down to the most exciting ones. Whether you're after a GTA-inspired gacha game, a fresh portable FPS, or something a little cozy that you can play while snuggled up as the winter months roll by, our list has a little something for everything to get excited for.

Anime Card Battle X codes May 2026

Quinn Collins — Thu, 07 May 2026 14:18:19 +0000

This Roblox experience is already fun, but if there's one thing that adds to the game, it's Anime Card Battle X codes, as you can easily triumph over any opponent. Just pick a portal to jump into, grab your freebies, and start collecting minions with which you'll take down all the bosses in the land. Codes will offer you a variety of great rewards, including the chance to boost your roll speed and luck and add modifiers to your cards via weather rerolls. So, if you're convinced, let's get into it.

Kingler | Pokémon guide

Holly Alice — Thu, 07 May 2026 14:17:23 +0000

It's been around since day one, but some of us haven't given the Pokémon Kingler as much attention as it needs. The aptly named 'Pincer Pokémon' looks like a big orange and cream crab, and uses its giant claws in battles to clamp the competition. So, is Kingler one of your go-to water Pokémon? If not, why not? There's enough crab-shaped Pokémon now to have an entire team of them, which is fun. You can see them all in our Pokédex guide.

Mixtape review - beers, boys, and bangers

Sam Comrie — Thu, 07 May 2026 14:00:24 +0000

At some point in your life, you'll realize things are still changing. Your childhood friends may have moved away, your favorite place to eat is gone, and that band you pined over as a kid has broken up. But there's always that one night or summer you'll remember forever, where for one moment, there wasn't a care in the world. Mixtape channels all of those feelings into a charming indie odyssey to have one last night of youthful abandon, giving way to one of the best Nintendo Switch 2 games I've played this year.

Shells codes May 2026

Quinn Collins — Thu, 07 May 2026 12:55:54 +0000

If you love digging games as much as we do, the fun can be amplified with Shells codes. You'll never hit a wall as long as you have an arsenal of freebies - just make sure you're practicing your QTEs. This game has great lore, fun quests, and even boating across the seas - but you'll have to be good at digging in order to experience the fun. Codes offer a number of fun and rare items, including pearls and lucky rolls to help you get great traits and charms, which will boost your luck, dig speed, or your maximum carry weight. Let's get into it.

Kanom Tokyo codes May 2026

Kayleigh Partleton — Thu, 07 May 2026 12:05:16 +0000

May 7, 2026: We added six new Kanom Tokyo codes to our list and removed a bunch of expired ones, with the current codes offering double EXP boosts, clan rerolls, and mythic gacha! Whether you're on the side of Ghoul or CCG, using Kanom Tokyo codes is a surefire way to help you get ahead in this Tokyo Ghoul-inspired Roblox game. Getting the best powers isn't easy, as you likely already know, so any opportunity to get additional items to help you grow stronger is only ever a good thing. The PvP is one of our favorite things about the game, though we all know your chances of winning go hand in hand with the abilities you have. Beyond skills and fighting, we're also fond of exploring Tokyo, battling our way through the different districts, where you can encounter different bosses and enemies.

Zenless Zone Zero Promeia release date, voice actors, and lore

Holly Alice — Thu, 07 May 2026 10:48:58 +0000

We welcome a new icy gal to Zenless Zone Zero - Promeia. She's got a cool design with a cape and a long purple braid, but has her arms bound behind her. She's also got a lunar theme with crescent moon-shaped jewelry. As an anomaly agent, there are plenty of options for teammates, all of which dish out tons of damage. Make sure to grab all the new Zenless Zone Zero codes from our guide for free polychrome, and then take a peep at our Zenless Zone Zero tier list to see who you want to spend them on - after you get Promeia, of course.

Nintendo casually announced a new Star Fox game, and I can't wait

Kayleigh Partleton — Thu, 07 May 2026 10:22:22 +0000

Seeing Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy movie was a pretty clue as to what might be on the horizon, but now we know for sure that a new Star Fox game is on the way, with Nintendo dropping the news out of nowhere. In fact, in a really surprising move, the company gave us a Nintendo Direct dedicated to the upcoming game. You can imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to see that a new showcase hit YouTube last night at 11pm in the UK, featuring roughly 20 minutes of Star Fox goodness. To think, I was just speaking with my partner last night about when we could expect the next Nintendo Direct. It introduces you to some of the game modes you can enjoy when the game releases next month. Yes, you read that right, you have just over a month to wait until launch. The thing I'm most looking forward to is the campaign, which allows us to travel to different planets and engage in some high-octane dogfights in our Arwing. It's going to be fun putting my skills to the test as I evade asteroids when trying to take the enemy down. However, combat isn't just in the skies, with you being able to pilot vehicles both on the ground and in the water.

Power Simulator X codes May 2026

Holly Alice — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:27:03 +0000

If you feel like testing your strength, we suggest you use these Power Simulator X codes to get ahead in the game. Whether you focus on your physical strength or psychic power, the free items these codes give will net you a boost. We also recommend you join the game's community, as that grants you even more tokens to spend on what you like.

Invincible: Guarding the Globe codes May 2026

Quinn Collins — Wed, 06 May 2026 16:20:19 +0000

We all know you're good enough to do it, but to seal the deal on saving the world, we've got all the Invincible: Guarding the Globe codes you could possibly want or need to aid you in your quest. You'll be joined by fan-favorites from the show, as well as a handful of more morally gray heroes in Ubisoft's idle mobile game - so it's time to get going. Codes are ripe for the taking, and they'll offer you free gems, DNA sequencers, equipment tickets, hero dossiers, and lots and lots of superheroes to help you out as you embark on the journey to defeat evil. You can't do this alone.

Hypno | Pokémon guide

Kayleigh Partleton — Wed, 06 May 2026 15:42:45 +0000

The Pokémon Hypno is one of the original mind readers, hailing from Kanto and continuing to appear in other regions over the years. To help make sure you're ready to become a master trainer, we're here to tell you everything you need to know about Hypno, from its strengths and weaknesses to its locations and base stats. You should also check out our complete Pokédex, mind you, as Hypno is just one of more than a thousand Pokémon that you need to get to know. As a treat for all this learning, you can snag yourself some freebies with our Pokémon Go codes guide.

The new PUBG Mobile Blue Lock crossover has one goal, and that's to give you special rewards

Sam Comrie — Wed, 06 May 2026 14:23:04 +0000

If you needed some convincing, PUBG Mobile is easily rivaling Fortnite and Call of Duty's crossover potential these days. It isn't just movies and music stars that Krafton is setting its gaze on, though. The new PUBG Mobile Blue Lock collaboration brings the hit manga to the battlefield, but it's more than just a few skins. Before the crossover fully kicks off, there's a set of free rewards available for PUBG players that you can grab on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

Krabby | Pokémon guide

Quinn Collins — Wed, 06 May 2026 14:19:51 +0000

You're going to need to take to the seas to find Pokémon's Krabby out in the wild - as the name would suggest, this 'mon is native to the ocean, being the crustacean Pokémon that it is. If you're stuck trying to reel this guy in, we've got you covered, as our guide covers its evolutions, base stats, moveset, strengths and weaknesses, and locations. If you're struggling to complete your Pokédex, we've got helpful handfuls of Pokémon Go codes and Pokémon TCG Pocket codes for your redeeming pleasure - and they're completely free to use, so get going.

You can get Apple's latest iPad for under $250 thanks to this Walmart deal, and the one catch is worth it

Connor Christie — Wed, 06 May 2026 14:07:40 +0000

If you've always wanted to pick up an iPad but you've been waiting for a discount, your time is now. Walmart is currently offering you the chance to buy an Apple tablet for just $247, saving you over $100 on its original asking price. There is a slight caveat, though: it's what Walmart calls an 'open box' deal, meaning the packaging's seal is broken, but the tablet itself is still unused.

Eagle Nation codes May 2026

Sam Comrie — Tue, 05 May 2026 16:38:16 +0000

May 5, 2026: We rode around for a while but can't find any new Eagle Nation codes. You can still claim up to 20K in cash below. Whether you're a massive Sons of Anarchy fan or love zooming around on bikes, you're probably already playing Eagle Nation. If not, don't worry, you can jump in right now and grab some helpful rewards. That's where this list of Eagle Nation codes comes in. As you explore vast country roads and rural America, you'll need the best set of wheels for the job. Eagle Nation codes give you cash, making it easier to pick up new motorcycles. Grab your keys, put on your helmet, and hit the road.

Drowzee | Pokémon guide

Holly Alice — Tue, 05 May 2026 16:30:04 +0000

The Pokémon Drowzee may be overlooked sometimes, but I have a soft spot for the tapir-shaped guy. It's based on a Baku, a creature that looks like a Malayan tapir that eats dreams. It's also thought to share an ancestor with another Baku-like 'Mon, Munna (and its evolution). It might sound odd, but keeping a Drowzee around might mean you sleep safe and sound as it eats your nightmares. Drowzee is one of the first psychic Pokémon we meet, introduced in Gen I's original Pokédex. It might not have the most iconic of designs, but it's a must catch for any ungulate fan.

The ROG Xbox Ally X just got a new feature that finally gives it an advantage over the Steam Deck OLED

Connor Christie — Tue, 05 May 2026 16:05:32 +0000

If you've got an Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, you can be among the first to check out Microsoft's new Auto SR feature. Auto SR, or Auto Super Resolution, is a new upscaling technology that is now available exclusively to Xbox Insiders, offering higher framerates in demanding games such as God of War Ragnarok and Red Dead Redemption 2. Simply put, it's here to take handheld gaming to the next level, and at the time of writing, the Steam Deck OLED doesn't offer any software or hardware equivalent that works across the whole system rather than just in individual games. The best example we've seen of Auto SR's capabilities on the ROG Xbox Ally X so far comes from tech YouTuber ETA Prime, who's put the feature through its paces. In Black Myth: Wukong, Auto SR enables 1080p gameplay at an average of 66fps, which is 15fps higher than running natively at 720p, while in God of War Ragnarok, the fresh tech boosts the frames per second from 40 to 57 while upscaling from 720p to 1080p. You can check out the full clip further down the page for more results from Auto SR testing. We were already big fans of the Asus handheld, as Sam Comrie makes clear in our ROG Xbox Ally X review, but this Auto SR feature could help it place higher in our guide to the best handheld consoles. Its Windows 11 operating system is still a bit of a sticking point, but the frame rate numbers we've seen from those testing Auto SR so far make it a far more tempting proposition for those looking for a handheld that can deliver console-level visuals.

If you're already enjoying Neverness to Everness, we've got another GTA-inspired gacha game for you to check out

Holly Alice — Tue, 05 May 2026 15:56:36 +0000

We're all having a blast in Neverness to Everness and its glossy city-based gameplay, but what if I told you that the upcoming title, Ananta, has new gameplay footage, and it looks even more like an entry into the GTA series than we thought? Videos by pookieraju and DannyINTEL on X show off what Ananta is all about, including guns, cars, stealth missions, sprawling city skylines, and some day-to-day activities like clothes shopping. You can see a recording of someone playing the game and get a feel for the in-game combat. I don't know about you, but after spending the weekend driving around in NtE, I'm definitely up for a similar game in the future. The new looks do show off some very Grand Theft Auto-like moments, and even some cutscenes that take direct inspiration from it. It's likely that Ananta pays homage to it as one of the best game franchises of all time, but some scenes are perhaps a little too similar...

Toons Universe codes May 2026

Daz Skubich — Tue, 05 May 2026 15:29:06 +0000

Use our Toons Universe codes to top up on malachor and recruit new agents to the cause. Work together with your team in this cutesy mash-up of games like Lethal Company and Poppy Playtime to extract resources from Innova's abandoned facility and survive the night. We look for new Toons Universe codes regularly, so make sure to bookmark this page and check back in with us the next time you're running low on funds.

The best roguelike games in 2026

Connor Christie — Tue, 05 May 2026 14:23:53 +0000

If you're looking for a list of the best roguelike games, we've got you covered. In this guide, you can find a list of games that force you to fail and fail again. That includes everything from high-octane combat thrillers such as Hades 2 to Texas Hold 'Em-inspired deckbuilders such as Balatro and plenty in between. Sure, they might be tough, but it's all worth it if you can put together that game-beating run. To be clear, we're not strictly abiding by the rules of the Berlin Interpretation of the roguelike genre in this guide, which are pretty restrictive, so this list also serves as a guide to the best roguelite games. Whatever you want to call them, all the games we've listed are mind-bogglingly engaging and should keep you busy for endless hours of game time.

This indie record store sim for Nintendo Switch has restored my faith in humanity

Daz Skubich — Tue, 05 May 2026 14:00:29 +0000

After playing the game's Steam Next Fest demo for my Wax Heads preview, I knew immediately that I had to get my hands on the full game and take it for a spin on my Nintendo Switch 2. Unsurprisingly, I'm enjoying every second I spend in Repeater Records alongside its quirky cast of characters - so much so that this game has helped me identify one of my new favorite videogame subgenres. Wax Heads is the debut release from the two-person studio, Patattie Games, and it puts you in the shoes of a new hire at Repeater Records, the local record store. You use your powers of intuition to recommend the perfect record for each customer, all the while learning more about the community, Repeater's employees, and the ongoing drama between store owner Morgan and her sister and ex-bandmate, Willow. While it's an overall lighthearted story with tons of humor, as is common with a lot of indie games, Wax Heads' writing isn't afraid to touch on heavier subjects that are especially relevant in 2026. From music venue closures and AI streaming services to queer solidarity and joy as an act of resistance, Wax Heads covers it all in a phenomenally realistic fashion. It's clear that Patattie Games' Murray Somerwolff and Rothio Tome have spent a lot of time in and around the DIY music, punk, and queer community scenes, as authenticity oozes from every character interaction and background detail. While you can definitely get a lot out of this game just from the record store simulation elements, the overarching plot is where it really shines.

Honkai Star Rail codes May 2026

Tilly Lawton — Tue, 05 May 2026 10:19:10 +0000

Target's Pokémon Go gift cards come with an extra surprise, but they won't stick around forever

Daz Skubich — Mon, 04 May 2026 16:00:27 +0000

The Pokémon x Target collaboration extends into the digital realm, with Pokémon Go announcing exclusive rewards for trainers in the United States. As well as getting your hands on the huge range of merch before it sells out, you can unlock unique cosmetics and Timed Research with just a few extra steps. On May 3, 2026, Pokémon and Target dropped a huge, exclusive merchandise collaboration, celebrating the iconic series' 30th anniversary. It mostly features gen 1 Pokémon, but there's something for everyone in this collection, from apparel and accessories to headphones and keycaps featuring different Pokéball types. But the best part is that Target is also collaborating with Pokémon Go to celebrate the free mobile game's upcoming tenth anniversary. Firstly, you can unlock a set of Timed Research simply by visiting your local participating Target store and spinning the sponsored Pokéstop. Thanks to some sleuthing from the trainers on r/TheSilphRoad, we know that the research encounters focus on the beloved fire Pokémon, Charizard, and can also net you some free raid passes and egg incubators. The promotion, and seemingly the Timed Research, run until July 31, 2026, so you've got plenty of time to complete the tasks and earn some sweet rewards.

Blood Reaver is doing what COD Zombies hasn't done in 16 years, and bringing it to the Nintendo Switch 2 is "absolutely something" the devs are considering

Sam Comrie — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:00:57 +0000

There have been plenty of Call of Duty Zombies imitators over the years, but it's hard to replicate the magic of Treyarch's touch. Even Treyarch struggles to tap into that zeitgeist these days. Yet, I'm still a fiend for COD Zombies, from its head-scratching lore to the thrill of hearing that iconic Ray Gun sound. But I've been checked out lately, looking for that familiar feeling elsewhere. Then comes along Blood Reaver, the debut shooter from Australian indie developer Hell Byte Studios. It's an absolute blast. After spending time with it, I spoke to the team about the game's future and whether it has a home on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Onix | Pokémon guide

Daz Skubich — Sun, 03 May 2026 16:39:44 +0000

The Pokémon Onix is one of the most iconic creatures from the series, thanks to its prevalence in the anime as Brock's loyal sidekick. This massive stony serpent is a mainstay of the franchise, and thanks to this guide, you can get to know it a little better. Onix is right at the beginning of the Pokédex, so get to know some more of its earthy companions with our rock Pokémon and ground Pokémon guides.

I've discovered your new favorite indie gem on Nintendo Switch 2, and despite support from Ludwig, it's far too underrated

Quinn Collins — Sun, 03 May 2026 16:19:13 +0000

Whenever YouTubers or Twitch streamers get into entrepreneurial pursuits, the Internet holds its breath. Let's be honest - a lot of them aren't qualified to run a business, whether it's a Logan Paul Cryptozoo game or Mr. Beast's moldy lunch product. It's refreshing, then, to see an Internet personality play to their strengths, and that's exactly what Ludwig Ahgren, a man who's amassed over 6.8 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, has done with his game publishing company, Offbrand Games. The company's latest release? The indie masterpiece that is Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime on Nintendo Switch 2 and PC. Before we get into Ahgren's involvement, I want to shine a light on just how much I enjoyed this game. Developed by Dutch duo Bonte Avond, Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime is a soothing blend of cute visuals, genuine laugh-out-loud writing, and a unique strategy game involving collectible frogs. For the average cozy game enjoyer, this is bread-and-butter stuff, with all the essentials: a friendship-driven story, beach rivalries, a bear wearing a cute costume, stellar voice acting, and silly little jingles.

Fortnite Droid Tycoon dev promises to fix XP issues with new Star Wars map

Sam Comrie — Sun, 03 May 2026 13:06:28 +0000

In one of the biggest events in Fortnite history, Disney and Epic Games are unleashing the first batch of officially endorsed Star Wars Fortnite maps. We're not just talking about some haphazard efforts; these are fully-fledged experiences. When you're not diving into the spiritual Battlefront 2 successor, Galactic Siege, you might consider giving Fortnite Droid Tycoon a spin. However, the XP gains aren't what I'd hoped they'd be.

Gengar | Pokémon guide

Quinn Collins — Sat, 02 May 2026 16:14:49 +0000

Outside of Pikachu, Pokémon's Gengar is one of the most famous and beloved 'mon in the whole franchise. It's hard to say why until you actually lay eyes on it - the perfect combination of creepy and cute, this little creature appeals to the edgiest of players, as long as they have a soft side, too. And, though you may see it a lot, Gengar can be elusive, so we've compiled some basic need-to-knows about it. If you want to look cool by flexing Gengar in your Pokédex to all your friends, we recommend some Pokémon Go codes and Pokémon TCG Pocket codes to boost your odds of finding it, as you'll need the help. Using exceptional stealth, it's apparent that this guy does not want to be found.

Digimon Up pre-registrations are live, and you can already earn rewards if you sign up

Quinn Collins — Sat, 02 May 2026 12:56:11 +0000

We love nothing more than a combination of our two favorite things, mobile games and cute creature collector games, so now that Digimon Up has opened pre-registration on iOS and Android, we're gearing up for another banger. There's good incentive to participate, too, as Bandai Namco has offered rewards for reaching a certain number of registrations, one of which is already unlocked. Yep, the game has reached 10k pre-registrations, meaning every player who's currently registered will get 150 Skill Card Summon Tickets. When Digimon Con brought us the Digimon Up reveal, the wording was pretty vague, but with the concept of Summon Tickets, it doesn't take an expert on mobile games to surmise that Digimon Up will likely be a gacha game. This is good news to some, as it means the free mobile game is likely to be ad-free, but bad to others, as the predatory model of gacha has faced heavy criticism in the wake of games like Genshin Impact, which has made developer Hoyoverse billions of dollars. Anyway, the Digimon Up 10k pre-registration reward is pretty valuable, and if the game hits more milestones, more goodies will head your way if you sign up before the game's release, which you can do here on iOS and here on Android. At 30k registrations, we'll all receive 150 Skill Card Summon Tickets; at 50k, we get 1k DigiEmeralds; at 100k, it's a Digimon: Gekkomon. Alongside these rewards, the Digimon Up Twitter/X posted that, due to the account getting 30k followers, everyone will receive 150 Supporter and Skill Card Summon Tickets and ten Good Digimeat Seeds. Even if the game never hits the other pre-registration milestones, we reckon that's a pretty good deal already.

Haunter | Pokémon guide

Quinn Collins — Sat, 02 May 2026 10:13:25 +0000

Another scary 'mon, Pokémon's Haunter takes the cake for creepy, as it not only hides in dark caves and can inflict poison on its enemies like its predecessor Gastly, it stalks people and other Pokémon, controlling anything it lays its hands on. It's okay, though, as we're going to walk you through how to use this creep's power for your own gain. Which makes it okay.... right? Make sure to pick up your Pokémon Go codes and Pokémon TCG Pocket codes if you're serious about conquering the world with Haunter and filling up your Pokédex. Trust us, you'll need the help.

Ten Pokémon Pokopia tips to get you started

Holly Alice — Fri, 01 May 2026 15:57:52 +0000

Game Freak and Omega Force's ambitious open-world offering is bigger than most of us imagined. Like, way bigger. So, we've come up with some handy Pokopia tips and hints to get you going without being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of new friends, habitats, blocks, recipes, and furniture items. Once you've got to grips with the game, we recommend checking out the current Pokopia events, and any Pokopia mystery gift codes you can grab for some free items to decorate your homestead.

Nintendo's latest viral PSA could be the difference between your Switch 2 living or dying

Connor Christie — Fri, 01 May 2026 15:51:35 +0000

If you want to keep your Nintendo Switch 2 in the best possible condition, the gaming giant behind the hybrid console has offered some new advice worth listening to. It seems that the Switch 2 suffers from some of the same battery issues as the original, which can brick the console. Nintendo's PSA, which has since gone viral with over 50k likes on X, has details on how to avoid this fate. In a social media post, Nintendo recommended charging the Switch 2 at least once every six months. Essentially, the console's lithium-ion battery can stop working if left flat and unused for months at a time. We've known for a long time that this was an issue with the original Switch, but now Nintendo is effectively confirming that it also applies to the follow-up console, so it's worth keeping in mind if you've got one but only use it sporadically. This new PSA-type post comes months after Nintendo offered advice on getting the most out of Switch 2's battery life by selecting an option to stop charging at around 90% to increase the battery's life span. It also follows a battery life display issue, with the console's screen inaccurately displaying the remaining charge, that became apparent in the weeks following the console's launch. If you didn't hear about it at the time, it's still well worth looking into now via our Nintendo Switch 2 battery life display guide, as you might still be getting inaccurate information.

Gastly | Pokémon guide

Quinn Collins — Fri, 01 May 2026 15:36:25 +0000

Being 95% poisonous gas and 5% the souls of its enemies, Pokémon's Gastly has a pretty scary reputation. Alongside this, one of Gastly's evolutions is one of the most iconic creepy 'mon in the entire franchise, and Gengar lovers will likely need to get their hands on Gastly first. We'll run through its locations, strengths and weaknesses, moves, and more. We've got plenty of Pokémon Go codes and Pokémon TCG Pocket codes so that you can not only find Gastly, but fill up your Pokédex with a bunch of scary 'mon, like its evolutions, too.

Genshin Impact's devs trademark yet another title while its latest games are still in beta

Holly Alice — Fri, 01 May 2026 15:30:46 +0000

It seems that five huge, always-online games aren't enough for the Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail developer, as Hoyoverse has filed trademarks for another fresh title. While details are a little thin for now, we trust the company when it comes to making a good-quality gacha game. The latest trademark is for a project called 'Nodusfall'. The file appeared on April 29, 2026, with Cognosphere as the applicant. That's the global name of Hoyoverse's publishing company, if you didn't know. There's already a new X account with the Nodusfall name, which appeared in April. That's... kind of all we know, for now. This is actually a bit of a double whammy - a second trademark for 'Vassago', listed as part of Anuttacon (Hoyoverse's AI company), also appeared recently. This doesn't have any social media accounts that we've seen, and is likely an add-on to their AI, not a new game. You can see the trademarks here and here.

17 years ago, this Call of Duty studio made an underrated Marvel game, but playing it now isn't easy

Sam Comrie — Fri, 01 May 2026 13:00:57 +0000

Believe it or not, there used to be a time when Call of Duty developer Raven Software made other games. Star Wars: Jedi Knight, Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance are just three bangers in its library. On May 1, 2009, the studio launched X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Based on the Marvel movie of the same name, it set the standard for Wolverine's gaming outings. However, unlike most players, my first taste of the game came in the form of the PSP version.

Cloyster | Pokémon guide

Holly Alice — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:49:20 +0000

If your team is a seafood-platter theme or based around Gen I water options, then you're going to want the Pokémon Cloyster on your roster. The bivalve Pokémon looks quite a bit more daunting than its pre-evolution, Shellder, and can pack a punch on land or in the sea. Cloyster appears quite early on in the Pokédex, in the grand scheme of things, but we recommend looking up water Pokémon weaknesses so you can keep it safe in battle anyway.

Anbernic's latest funky form factor handheld just got a specs reveal, but I'm not sure I'm convinced by the RG Rotate

Connor Christie — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:17:01 +0000

While some Android gaming brands are struggling to contend with the ongoing RAM crisis, one prolific Chinese manufacturer is continuing to introduce us to new handhelds with nostalgic designs. I'm talking about the new Anbernic RG Rotate, which is seemingly influenced by the iconic swiveling form factor of the Motorola Flipout - a phone that still doesn't get the credit it deserved on launch back in 2010. Anbernic has spent the last month teasing the device, but now, we've finally got some details on its specs. The big takeaway is that the RG Rotate uses the same Unisoc Tiger T618 chip as the RG Vita. Unfortunately, that means it's likely not quite as capable performance-wise as some of the current top picks from our guide to the best retro handhelds. It should still handle some mobile games, but don't expect to be running the likes of Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail on this thing at high settings. It's also running Android 12, which is pretty out of date in 2026, considering the latest fully rolled-out version of the operating system is Android 15. While the chipset situation doesn't fill me with hope, the real selling point is the RG Rotate's form factor, and it looks the part there. Its 3.5-inch 1:1 screen makes me feel like it might be a great fit for retro games, which would make the potential performance problem less of an issue, and I have been eyeing up Final Fantasy VI on the Google Play Store for a little while now. I was going to play it on my REDMAGIC Nova tablet, but I might wait instead until I get my hands on the RG Rotate.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Nintendo Switch 2 is a treat for the eyes, but not for the wrists

Connor Christie — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:00:10 +0000

As a massive fan of the iconic original film trilogy, I don't know why I've waited so long to play Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. It might be because I'm a bit of a handheld devotee, and after hearing mixed reviews about the game's Steam Deck performance, I decided to wait it out. I'm glad I held off, though, because it's now coming to Nintendo Switch 2, and I was lucky enough to preview it before its upcoming release date. The main thing we're looking at here is performance on the Nintendo Switch 2, as the original game got its plaudits on release back in 2024, and my early impressions from the first couple of missions have me agreeing this is what an Indiana Jones game should feel like. As for how it handles on the hybrid console, though, I'm impressed but not blown away in the same sense I was when playing Capcom's new Switch games, Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, which really impressed me. Let's start with the positives. The big one for me so far is consistency. Whether I'm playing in handheld mode or docked, the visuals are spectacular. It's a bit more noticeable when docked, thanks to the Switch 2's HDR capabilities, but it still looks great in handheld mode, too, and I didn't notice any pop-in issues whichever way I played. Load times are also nice and snappy, which adds to the cinematic nature of the game, as there's nothing that takes you out of the moment like a ten-second wait on a black screen.

Wuthering Waves' 3.3 update celebrates second anniversary in style with 60 free pulls, cool new characters, and a concert tour

Holly Alice — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:50:39 +0000

I can't quite believe that Wuthering Waves update 3.3 signals the second anniversary of the game already. Regardless of the sheer speed of the passage of time, I'm looking forward to celebrating in-game and using all the free pulls to see what I get. I hope it's not another Lingyang... The latest update went live today, and it's called 'Reverbs From the End of Galaxies,' a fitting title for the futuristic and space-inspired designs of the recently released Dimmr Plains area. You can zoom around on your motorbike and explore the new area, fight enemies, and just have a lovely time getting to grips with driving over hills and crevices. What we're really excited about is Hiyuki's debut, followed by Denia in the second half of the banners. In my gacha experience, gals with the ice element and a sword do really well for me - ZZZ's Miyabi and HSR's Jingliu slice right through combat events, and now Hiyuki is here to do the same. Send me good vibes so I can get her sword, too.

Wuthering Waves Hiyuki release date, voice actors, and lore

Holly Alice — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:21:57 +0000

Well, Wuthering Waves' Hiyuki sure looks cool, doesn't she? And not just because she uses the glacio element. She's a main DPS with some ice-powered moves, ready to strike down enemies in the overworld and storm through the Tower of Adversity. Make sure you grab the new Wuthering Waves codes from our guide to stock up on astrite and in-game materials, then check out our Wuthering Waves tier list to see which supports and sub-DPS characters we rate the highest.

Stardew Valley Wizard guide

Ruby Spiers-Unwin — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 16:43:48 +0000

The mysterious Stardew Valley Wizard - known to locals as M. Rasmodius - keeps to himself in a tower in the forest. He rarely leaves his home, meaning you can find him there every day, or skulking around events just out of reach. If you interact with him, you eventually unlock his basement, where you can change your character's appearance. Unfortunately, you can't marry the Wizard, but you can be friends with him. If you're interested in other villagers, take a look at our Stardew Valley Shane, Stardew Valley Elliott, and Stardew Valley Penny guides.

Neverness to Everness is giving you a second S-Class character for free, and absolutely plenty of pulls

Holly Alice — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 16:03:30 +0000

Neverness to Everness launched today, April 30, and while I'm barely an hour into the game, I already have two S-Class characters - that's five stars to any Hoyoverse game players. But what's better than two S-Class characters? Another one, of course! As the game is brand new, there are heaps of freebies you can grab after completing the first couple of missions. This includes about 60 pulls worth of currency and a free A-Class character from the pre-registration rewards. You unlock the banner option quite quickly, so you can see who you get and then take them with you as you work through the story. In 50 wishes, I got an S-Class NtE character (Daffodill) and six copies of A-Class Adler, almost enough to max him out, among a smattering of other A-Class options. Then, because I'd done 50 pulls, I got to choose an S-Class from the free selector. Obviously, I chose Baicang.

Ayaneo is killing off some of its most popular Android handhelds, and you probably can guess what's to blame

Connor Christie — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:59:25 +0000

Thanks to the ongoing RAM crisis, 2026 is shaping up to be a pretty bad year for handheld gamers. Just under five months into the year, we've already had stock issues with the Steam Deck OLED, while the Lenovo Legion Go 2 is almost 50% more expensive than on launch. Now, Ayaneo, the brand behind some of our favorite retro handhelds, is also hiking prices and discontinuing devices. In a post on the official Ayaneo Discord, the brand confirmed that issues surrounding memory and storage have forced it to "increase prices across most product lines." There's no list of which devices are now more expensive, but there are a few highlighted exceptions, namely the Mini PC, Pocket S Mini, Pocket VERT, and Pocket MICRO. Don't get too excited, though. Ayaneo previously announced price hikes for those four devices, so they're still more expensive than when they launched. If that wasn't bad enough, the RAM crisis is also affecting the availability of some of Ayaneo's most popular handhelds, including the Pocket DS and Pocket AIR Mini B.Duck Edition. The Discord post states that these devices, among others, are currently only available in very limited numbers, and once they're gone, they're gone. There's always a chance that third-party Ayaneo suppliers might have more stock, but if you've had your eye on one of these handhelds, we'd recommend picking one up ASAP.

Monster Hunter Outlanders release date speculation, beta, and gameplay

Love and Deepspace may have competition with a new sexy escapade game offering more handheld hunks

Holly Alice — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:52:53 +0000

It's always a good day when a good-looking face (or three) crosses my screen, especially when it's animated and in a game I can download for free. Newly announced Silent Whispers introduces three stunning suitors that we can meet when the game releases. First up, there's Theron. He's giving Rhysand vibes (if you know, you know), with black hair, green eyes, a bit of a tan, and plenty of muscle, of course. He rides a motorbike and wears the appropriate leather outfits. Then, we've got Valen, the cute option, with light pink hair, light blue eyes, and an innocence about him. For me, though, I'll be gunning for Alarik. Silver hair, dark eyes, and a dark wardrobe - wait, this seems familiar... he's basically a copy of Sylus from Love and Deepspace, and I'm willing to bet money that Alarik is voiced by Genshin Impact Wriothesley's VA, Joe Zieja, but currently it's not confirmed. You can call me a silly wishful biscuit if it isn't him.
