🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ What to play this weekend? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

While those eager to test the technical demo of Marathon are getting hit with the «help.bungie code: tapir» error, the just-released Resident Evil: Requiem has already drawn 267K players in its first hour.

The game boasts an incredible atmosphere and graphics, and the choice to have two protagonists allows the gameplay to combine the signature tense survival horror with truly cinematic and action-packed sequences.

If, for some reason, you won’t have access to a PC this weekend, don’t worry. On iOS and Android, you can check out Subway Surfers City — the second installment of the iconic endless runner.

Alternatively, there’s the freshly released Reigns: The Witcher — a card-based strategy with RPG elements, where the main hero is none other than the Butcher of Blaviken, and your job is simply to make the choices for him.

📊 Latest News Roundup

The end of the work week brings a wave of major announcements:

➡️ The first DLC in nearly 25 years has been released for Diablo II — titled Reign of the Warlock. More precisely, it’s for the note-worthy remaster Diablo II: Resurrected. The expansion introduces the eighth playable class — the Warlock — who can summon imps, bind demons, or consume them to temporarily gain their powers. The DLC also includes many other additions to the classic action RPG. The expansion is already available on PC and consoles, and the base game is now also available on Steam.

➡️ Legendary games by Hideo Kojima are coming to PC after nearly 20 years — ports of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker have been announced. The new remaster collection will include three titles. The centerpiece is Metal Gear Solid 4, which has remained a PlayStation 3 exclusive since its 2008 release. Players will also receive the originally portable titles Peace Walker and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.

➡️ God of War will receive a remake collection covering all three original entries. No release date was announced during the presentation.

➡️ A full-scale video game based on Baba Yaga — titled John Wick — has been announced. The game is being developed by Saber Interactive, but no release window yet.

➡️ The debut trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall has been released. It’s a first-person horror experience featuring a protagonist named Simon. More details will be revealed in spring.

Other noteworthy announcements:

🟢 Ember Lab revealed a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits — titled Kena: Scars of Kosmora.
🟢 The colorful platformer Neva will receive a prequel expansion called Prologue, launching February 19.
🟢 The creators of Dead Cells are collaborating with Konami on a new Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse title.

📊 Latest news summary

We have compiled the most important and interesting news for you:

🟢 Starting in March, Discord users will have to verify their identity with a document or video scan of their face. In rare cases, two methods will be requested at once — this will eliminate fake data. Verification will be mandatory worldwide. Your real age will remain hidden from others, and passport information will be deleted immediately after verification.

🟢 A sticker from CS2 turned out to be more expensive than Bitcoin. Currently, the iBUYPOWER (Holo) Katowice 2014 sticker is valued at approximately $90,000, while Bitcoin has already fallen below $70,000.

🟢 The next State of Play will take place on February 13. The presentation will last more than 60 minutes and will feature games from both PlayStation Studios and third-party studios.

🟢 After the announcement of the new hero, Deadlock's online player count jumped to 125,000, and that's without the beta. Now we're waiting for the last of the six new heroes — the fencer Apollo.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️What to play on the weekend? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

If you're looking for a game to pass a couple of evenings before returning to your favorite factory, here are a few options just for you:

Nioh 3 — perfect for fans of soul-grinding games. The product is brand new and got off to a flying start — 42,000 players at launch. What's happening on the screen may make your head spin a little, as in addition to the signature hardcore style, the game features an even deeper RPG system.

Reigns: The Witcher — a reboot of the original game set in the world of a Polish hunter of fantastical creatures. You can only play the demo right now, while the full release is scheduled for February 25.

If you want something competitive or just want to shout in voice chat, Deadlock or Overwatch are good choices, as both games have received a bunch of new heroes, balance updates, and fresh patches over the last few days.

📊 Latest news summary

We have compiled the most important and interesting news for you:

🟢 The final episode of Fallout's second season has been released, and conspiracy theorists are convinced that Bethesda is preparing a major announcement. Trailers and screenshots have been removed from the Fallout 3 page, and the last time a similar “cleanup” took place was before the high-profile releases and re-releases of Hollow Knight and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Against this backdrop, rumors of a possible Fallout 3 remake have intensified. There have been no official statements yet, but the timing is too convenient to be a coincidence.

🟢 Valve has announced that it has postponed the release dates for Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller. The reason is a crisis in the market for RAM and other components. The company originally planned to announce the release date and price of all three devices in early February, but due to the rise in RAM prices, the prices for Steam Machine and Steam Frame had to be recalculated.

🟢 Nioh 3 is coming out on February 6. How cool is that? About 86 points on Metacritic and 88 points on OpenCritic. All critics were delighted with the trilogy and are confident that the game will appeal to many. Journalists also claim that Team Ninja has created its best combat system with great variability. On the downside: not the best performance and a typical “Souls” plot.

🟢 PUBG: Blindspot, a tactical 5v5 shooter set in the PUBG universe with an emphasis on fast rounds and f2f distances, has launched in early access on Steam. It's essentially a mix of Valorant and classic arena shooters.

🕹️ Free giveaway on EGS

This week, you can grab Definitely Not Fried Chicken for free.

While some are making TV shows about Saul, others are making games about Gustavo Fring. It's a pretty good business simulator with a “little twist.”

You can also get TWO more games on EGS: NightReaper 2 and SunBlockers. They are not listed in the weekly giveaway, but they are also 100% off.

📊 Latest news summary

We have compiled the most important and interesting recent news for you:

🟠 Terraria has released its latest update, version 1.4.5, titled Bigger & Boulder. It adds new biomes, items, music, the ability to become a vampire, a noir filter, and collaborations with Dead Cells and Palworld. The patch is now available on all platforms, including PC, consoles, and smartphones. For the latter, by the way, many new options for customizing the interface and controls have been added.

🟠 Highguard, a free raid shooter from the developers of Apex Legends and Titanfall, has been released. For those who don't know, this was the main announcement at TGA 2025. But from the first impressions, it's clear that rushing into things can be a mistake.

🟠 Paradox Interactive has added a subscription for all DLC for Crusader Kings III. Monthly access to advanced contour maps costs $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.49.

🟠 Official: the League of Legends community is afraid of the word “work.” The word “job” is banned regardless of context — any phrase containing it is censored.

🟠 Genshin Impact 2 is in development and will be released after the completion of the Snowy storyline, according to Chinese sources. It will not be a new game, but a global update to Genshin with a completely new storyline, a new engine, technical fixes, and upgrades.

👀 GIGI Leaders Update

The calendar has turned, and so has our leaderboard! While everyone was getting back into the swing of things after the New Year's feasting and winter holidays, a few brave souls from the factory were quietly pumping up their accounts.

🥇 – Celtrics aka Julveb - the proclaimed master of the top. The richest man of 2026 according to GossipGAMED magazine.

⛰ – Pavel aka Don Gexagon - Prime Minister of Celtrcs. For questions regarding the transportation of Steam keys, please contact him directly and address him formally.

🔶 – Igor aka Sharkzeeh - closes the top of the most influential people in the Internet space in the field of tracking achievements in computer games.

Well, if you think that only people who wear ties every day and drive Maybachs can appear at the top, we hasten to assure you otherwise. Slowly but surely, “candidates from the people” are approaching the top:

158) Hare (🐇)
159) Potato (🥔)

They are still far from first place, but what potential...

⚠️ Reminder about freebies

Tomorrow is the last day to claim Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness for your account. Instead, Rustler, the “medieval GTA,” will be available for free for a whole week.

This is a great option for those who want to spend the evening parking a carbon cart to the hard boom-bap of a lute.

📊 Latest news summary

While everyone is spending their days immersed in Hytale, we have compiled the most interesting recent developments for you.

⚡️ Nikita Buyanov has announced a teaser for a new project — COR3 or Fragmentary Order. To mark the occasion, BSG has launched an interactive teaser site, which already contains some lore, information, and quests. In short: another sci-fi game, everything is unclear as usual, but very interesting.

🟢 Far Cry 3 will receive 60FPS support on PS5 and Xbox Series on January 21. We can assume that Blood Dragon and Primal will also receive this honor.

🟢 Russell Brower (World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Overwatch, StarCraft 2) has joined CD Projekt RED as a sound director.

🟢 Subway Surfers City has been announced. It will be a reskin of the original with new locations, graphics, and characters, although it looks more like a full-fledged new installment.

🟢 Rockstar Games gave a terminally ill fan a final gift and allowed him to play GTA 6 before its release. Are they kind-hearted altruists or genius marketers?

📊 Latest news summary

We have compiled the most important and interesting news for you:

🟠 FPS in Monster Hunter Wilds depends on the number of DLCs purchased. Capcom managed to kill the game's optimization by constantly checking whether the player has paid add-ons. A user created a mod that replaces the information about purchased DLC, and then a miracle happened — the FPS skyrocketed several times over.

🟠 NVIDIA is discontinuing production of the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB, according to a source at Hardware Unboxed. The RTX 3060 graphics cards are promised to return, but with a higher price tag. The culprit is still AI and rising memory prices.

🟠 Hytale may have peaked at 2.8 million players on release day. This was written by the head of Hypixel on one of the servers. However, he may have been referring to attempts to log in/register/the number of active users in the launcher. In any case, the upcoming years of support have already been recouped by pre-order revenue alone.

🟠 Endless Summer 2 has been announced with a new art style and different characters. The demo version of Graphomania will be released not this summer, but in the spring. The old characters will also appear. The game has not been released yet, but it has already become embroiled in a huge controversy over the neuro-art, which the developer disowned on a stream he appeared on while in an inadequate state.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ EGS Giveaway × Hytale Release

Just a quick reminder: the free giveaway of Bloons TD 6 on the Epic Games Store ends the day after tomorrow — a game with unbelievably deep lore, complex mechanics, and mind‑blowing graphics. And on that same day, January 15, a new awesome giveaway begins: Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness.

And if, for some sacred reason, you don’t want to claim either Bloons or Styx FOR FREE FOREVER on your account, there’s more good news…

Today, January 13, the long‑awaited release of the Minecraft killer — Hytale — has launched.

The developers recommend installing the launcher on your PC as soon as possible, because they expect at least a million people in the queue. You can buy the game on the official website for a measly $25, or grab the “sheikh editions” for $43 and $87.
