Just as SCS Software step into to make it easier for me to recover from my reckless rig road rage, they’ve decided to pull the cover off another upcoming addition to Euro Truck Simulator 2’s ever-expanding map. This freshly revealed DLC’s dubbed Soul of Anatolia, and it’ll let you drive on past the Balkans and much further into Turkey than you previously could.

Hyper casual games + real-money gaming are converging.”Lu’s remarks come as prediction markets’ trading volumes reached a record $814.2 million on Monday,…

Deposits not showing up properly is one of those issues that feels random—until the pattern becomes obvious. A growing number of users are running into this when sending funds over networks like Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Polygon. The short version: the way some transactions are sent means the system can’t see the amount properly. The good news is it’s avoidable once understood. What Is an Internal Transaction? An internal transaction isn’t something sent directly from one wallet to another in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s triggered by a smart contract. Think of it like this: A normal transaction =…

I do not like the combination of the words “Epic Games,” “Disney,” and “extraction shooter,” yet write them I must. That’s because of a new report from Bloomberg (paywalled), which digs into some of the issues the Fortnite developer has been facing in recent years with the popular battle royale, and the hopes the company is pinning on its Disney deal. Last month, Epic laid off over 1000 employees, citing the usual “industry-wide challenges” as well as “challenges unique to Epic” as the reasons for why they had to do so. An additional effect of these layoffs is…

As part of the v57 software update for Meta Quest headsets, the company announced Monday a bevy of new features — including more avatar customization options, an unsend message feature, group links, free-form locomotion ability in Horizon Home and a rebranded Explore feed. Meta also made improvements to video recording, multitasking and more. Starting today, the v57 update is gradually rolling out to Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 headsets. Meta will likely reveal more features at its Connect event later this month. Alongside today’s announcement, Meta wrote in its v57 release notes that it’s removing a casting feature…

PUBG: Battlegrounds, Krafton’s shooter that wise people have previously pointed out should really go all in and call itself Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds, has a new mode. It’s all about teaming up to battle an army of invading alien robots whose talents seemingly don’t lie in inventive naming – their mothership’s called the Mothership and the architect of their invasion of Miramar is called the Architect.

When Meta rebranded from Facebook two years ago, the word “metaverse” went mainstream. Even people outside the tech world wondered if we would soon start to socialize via virtual reality headsets. But at least according to public opinion and the stock market, the metaverse proved itself to be pretty mid. Propelled by founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s ardent vision, Meta remains committed to its dreams of a world where we attend work meetings in VR and hang out with our friends in Horizon Worlds, rather than in person. So, as Mark Zuckerberg announced the Quest 3 headset today at the…

The developers of Dead by Daylight tell me they’re extremely committed to keeping the game going as long as possible with support, crossovers, and all sorts of updates. So committed, in fact, that a sequel to the game is off the table.Speaking to me at the Game Developers Conference last month, head of partnerships at Behaviour Interactive Mathieu Cote and creative director Dave Richard chatted with me about the challenge of following up on a super successful live service game. They said that while they had thought about doing a sequel or a “remake” at different points in development, it…
