📊 Latest Summary News We’ve gathered the most interesting highlights from recent days:

🟠 Time to start making games on Source 2! The sandbox and spiritual successor to Garry's Mod — s&box — has officially launched. It’s currently available on PC only. In s&box, you can explore games created by the community or build your own using built-in tools. Looks like we finally got Garry’s Mod 2…

🟠 A guy from a forum baked his broken GeForce GTX 1080 in the oven… and it worked! No, seriously, after struggling for 8 years to fix artifacting on his own, he decided there was no better moment to try something bold. The result? A “baked” GPU that ran for 20 seconds… and then died again.

🟠 Warcraft III is now playable in the browser, fully ported to WebGL! Players can already access the campaign and offline matches against bots. The developer обещает to add online multiplayer soon. You can now load up your meat wagons straight from your favorite browser tab.

🟠 ARC Raiders is banning disabled players. The system mistakenly flags devices like the Xbox Adaptive Controller and Sony Access Controller as cheat tools or third-party software, affecting players who rely on them. At this point, the anti-cheat seems to be fighting accessibility more than actual cheating.

🕹️ Free giveaway on EGS There are only a few days left to grab DOOMBLADE and 911 Operator for free — the giveaway ends on April 30 at 18:00. It may be a modest drop, but hey… free is free 1️⃣

➡️ DOOMBLADE — In this 2D action metroidvania, the team “Dark Cultists” must unite, gain power, and destroy the Lords of Terror! If you're looking for something similar to Hollow Knight or Ori, this is a decent filler to kill an evening. What really stands out, though, is the soundtrack — it's incredibly memorable.

➡️ 911 Operator — A game where you play as an emergency dispatcher, handling critical situations by giving instructions and managing response units. The main feature is that you can do this on the map of virtually any city in the world! You can literally load your own town and send emergency services through streets you know. Some say the developers of Dispatch were inspired by this game… though that’s debatable.

🕹️ Grab them now on the Epic Games Store before the offer ends and don’t forget to update your progress in GAMED!

Please remain calm!!! The murloc does not pose a threat — it is only level 50 and cannot speak.

🕹️ Release Calendar: April 2026

We've gathered all the upcoming releases for March in one place.

This month starts slowly but surely, as we're expecting some major releases by the end of the month!

BREAKING: PlayStation is raising the price of the PlayStation 5 starting April 2. The base console will now cost:

The recommended price for the PS Portal will also be $249/€.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️What to play on the weekend? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Is it possible to expect a strong single-player project from a studio that has made MMOs? Usually, such experiments are approached with caution. Too often, grand ambitions end up with overloaded games that have everything at once, but nothing works as it should. This is why there were a lot of doubts surrounding Crimson Desert from the very beginning. However, we strongly recommend checking out this game, as its ratings and reviews on Steam have changed from "Extremely Negative" to "High" within a week. The key is not to jump to conclusions too quickly. The first two hours of gameplay can be challenging, but then the game truly blooms!

📊 Summary latest news We have collected the most interesting news for you:

🟢All aspects of Dota 2 have been completely removed – Valve has completely redesigned the game with a new patch. There are 4 new basic items, new innate abilities, and drastic reworks of almost all characters.

📊 Latest news summary We've compiled the most interesting news for you:

🟢 NVIDIA has announced DLSS 5, which has been heavily criticized by players. However, many developers believe that the criticism is unwarranted, as they do not fully understand the technology: "DLSS 5 combines geometry, texture, and other game controls with generative AI. It's not a frame-level post-processing, but a geometry-level generative control. Everything is directly controlled by the game developers. It's a generative AI with content control. That's why we call it neural rendering."

🟢 The era of cases in CS2 is coming to an end. In Germany and the Netherlands, players now have access to the "X-Ray Scanner" tab, which allows them to open cases only through the X-Ray scanner. The first purchase will grant an exclusive skin that cannot be sold.

🟢 Helldivers 2 has officially "lost weight" from 154 GB to 23 GB. In the latest update, the developers have removed duplicate files and optimized the size of the remaining files. Previously, the update was in beta, but it has now been officially released.

🟢 The first Gothic game will be released on iOS in 2026, but the exact date and price have not yet been announced. The developers are also considering the possibility of releasing the game on Android. They claim that they have fully adapted the controls for a comfortable gaming experience on smartphones.
