Microsoft teases upcoming Game Pass x Discord improvements

23 April 2026 at 08:30

Xbox’s new CEO Asha Sharma has been quick to take action following the executive’s recent appointment, announcing that Game Pass prices would be coming down, while Call of Duty will no longer be a day-one addition to the service. Teasing even more changes, Sharma has revealed that Xbox’s partnership with the social platform Discord is set to grow further.

Taking to Twitter to tease the announcement, Sharma wrote: “For years, Xbox and Discord have worked together to make it easier for players to connect, chat, and play across devices. We're teaming up again as we continue to make Game Pass more flexible for our players. Some of you might start to see some code in the wild, and we will share more details with you all soon!”

Game Pass Discord

Though details on what this means exactly remain unknown, based on the wording there could be a couple different avenues which Microsoft is heading in. While Discord is already available on Xbox, this expanded partnership could further integrate the two platforms for increased seamlessness.

Alternatively, the use of the phrase “make Game Pass more flexible” could be alluding to the option to include Discord Nitro as a benefit for Game Pass subscribers. Last but certainly not least, Microsoft could be gearing up to acquire Discord (though hopefully this isn’t the case).

Regardless, it is interesting to see so many major and sweeping decisions coming so soon after Phil Spencer’s retirement and Asha’s appointment.

You’ll soon need to verify your age to access PlayStation “communication features”

22 April 2026 at 11:00

In recent months we’ve seen many different platforms introduce new age verification systems as part of a renewed ‘online safety’ push, with the UK being one of the primary regions targeted. It appears as though PlayStation has decided to join in on such measures, announcing a new age checker in order to allow players to use the console’s various “communication features.”

PlayStation owners across the UK recently received either an email or a message via the official PlayStation app notifying users that new age verification checks will begin to be enrolled some time later this year, writing:

“Verify your age to keep using communication features. At Sony Interactive Entertainment, we are committed to creating safe, age-appropriate experiences for players and families while respecting privacy and giving players and parents meaningful control over their gaming experience. As part of our compliance with global regulations, you'll need to verify your age later this year to continue using PlayStation communication features, such as messages and voice chat.”

PlayStation communication

It continues, “You will still be able to access other PlayStation services, like games, trophies, and the Store, if you do not verify your age. This is a one-time check and usually takes just a few minutes. Completing it ahead of time will help you continue accessing communication features when you want to use them.”

While such age checkers have been met with resistance from users, it is encouraging at the very least to see that purchasing and playing mature titles will not require any verification. Still, this could be the first step in a potentially slippery slope.

Helldivers II to receive new Exo Experts Warbond next week

22 April 2026 at 09:15

2026 has been a pretty big year for Helldivers II so far, with the live-service PlayStation Studios title receiving a number of substantial updates including but not limited to a massive game file size decrease for PC players, the announcement of a film adaptation and the unveiling of Helldivers II’s first proper roadmap. Alongside these larger sweeping changes, the team have kept the game fresh with a suite of new DLCs on a regular basis – the latest Warbond of which will add a bunch of mechs and exo-suits.

Taking to the PlayStation Blog to make the announcement, Arrowhead Game Studios officially detailed the next Warbond coming to Helldivers II. Officially landing on the 28th of April, the Exo Experts Warbond is focusing on expanding the player’s arsenal of mechs while also including a suite of additional weapons:

  • EXO-51 Lumberer (Exosuit equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower)
  • EXO-55 Breakthrough (Exosuit equipped with a flak cannon and a ballistics shield)
  • MGX-42 Bullet Storm (Disposable machine gun with 24 barrels)
  • SMG-203 Gallant (Submachine gun with a high fire rate)
  • P-33 Missile Pistol (Uses guided, heat-propelled rounds and a lock-on feature)

As always, the Exo Experts Warbond also features a ton of ancillary additions, including new armours; capes; camos; emotes and more – with the most gameplay-altering addition being the Oxygenator armour passive, allowing for faster walk, run and slide speeds.

The Exo Expert Warbond officially arrives on the 28th of April, and as always can be obtained using Super Credits (which can either be purchased or earned in-game).

Discuss on our Facebook page HERE.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this latest Warbond? Are you a fan of the way Helldivers has been expanding its arsenal? What other gameplay styles would you like to see the team focus on improving / adding to next? Let us know down below.

Build A Rocket Boy shares 2026 MindsEye roadmap

20 April 2026 at 11:00

MindsEye was easily one of 2025’s biggest fumbles, with the ambitious title from ex-Rockstar president Leslie Benzies and studio Build A Rocket Boy receiving less-than-stellar reviews upon its initial launch last year. Since then, the situation has continued to devolve, with claims of intentional sabotage supposedly having taken place. In the wake of Build A Rocket Boy’s separation from its publisher IOI, the team have now released their planned 2026 roadmap.

In a surprise announcement, the team at Build A Rocket Boy published a blog post discussing the future of MindsEye, writing: “Build A Rocket Boy is now self-publishing MindsEye. This gives us more direct control over the game and how we communicate. We can move faster, respond more quickly, and you will hear things from us first. Here is what we are working on.”

Focusing on the more live-service aspects to MindsEye, 2026’s roadmap is said to feature the following:

  • Multiplayer races
  • ARCADIA Race Builder for consoles
  • PC ARCADIA builds coming to console

MindsEye Roadmap

In addition to these ancillary updates, MindsEye also looks set to receive some more substantive story-based content, with ’BLACKLISTED’ being described as follows:

“Step into the role of Julia Black, a world-class assassin on a mission to Redrock City to eliminate two key targets. Working for Meridian, an agency under pressure from both outside forces and internal threats, every move carries risk. Infiltrate a criminal network, sabotage a deadly deal, and uncover the truth in a story driven by espionage, deception, and precision.”

Given the state of the game, and reception towards it at launch, it is somewhat of a pleasant surprise to see MindsEye receiving any form of additional content. That said, whether it will be enough to turn the tides on what many agree to be a failed project, we will have to wait and see.

BF Studios share full 2026 Roadmap for Battlefield 6, including persistent servers

17 April 2026 at 10:15

After what was a record-breaking launch, EA’s Battlefield 6 has failed to maintain its momentum, with the game’s post-launch support unable to match the expectations set by other live-service experiences. That said, EA and DICE are still committed to the project, with the team now teasing their full 2026 roadmap.

Taking to YouTube to release a 6-minute dev talk (also detailed via their blog), the team at Battlefield Studios offered an early taste at everything fans can expect to look forward to throughout the rest of 2026.

While the live-service FPS has been off to a bit of a slow start with its first two post-launch Seasons, the rest of the year should hopefully be more feature-rich with 3 more Seasons in total scheduled for 2026.

Though we of course have not been given a full breakdown of everything to expect, Season 3 of Battlefield 6 is set to introduce:

  • Railway to Golmud map
  • Cairo Bazaar map
  • Ranked Play 
  • Battle Royale solos

Season 4 meanwhile will add:

  • Tsuru Reef map
  • Wake Island map
  • Aircraft carriers with operational flight decks
  • New naval vehicles
  • Dynamic wave system
  • Custom lobbies
  • Spectator mode

2026 will conclude with the arrival of Season 5, though details on what to expect remain light; with the team simply sharing a teaser image for what appears to be a flamethrower of sorts.

Outside of new content, 2026 will also introduce many different quality-of-life improvements, including:

  • A server browser with persistent servers
  • Multiplayer leaderboards
  • Platoons
  • Proximity Chat
  • Visibility enhancements
  • Progression changes
  • Map reworks

In the past few months sentiment surrounding Battlefield 6 has taken a drastic fall, and so while many of these additions likely should have been available since its initial launch, it is welcome nonetheless to see that BF Studios are trying to turn the game into what was originally promised/expected.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the roadmap? Is this enough to get you to come back? Which feature are you most looking forward to? Let us know down below.

The Last of Us Online was ‘nearly complete’ when cancelled

3 April 2026 at 09:00

Sony caught a lot of criticism for cancelling The Last of Us Online a couple of years ago. Recently, the former director on that game talked a bit more about it, sharing that the game was ‘80% complete' when it was scrapped. 

The Last of Us Online was almost complete and ready to go, according to Vinit Agarwal, who directed the game. In an interview on the LelPodcast (via Eurogamer), the director explained that Sony had put a lot of money into the game after the 2020 boom, but had cut back on spending around 2023, as did most other publishers across the industry.

Aside from the game being near completion, the director also shared that the game was finally going to get its public reveal just one day after the cancellation. If true, that means a trailer must have been prepared, which would have given fans a long overdue look at what this game was supposed to be.

The Last of Us Online began as an experimental multiplayer mode for The Last of Us Part 2 but eventually spun off into its own standalone game. The title was infamously cancelled after an internal review, in which Bungie reportedly provided negative feedback on the future viability of the game. However, in this interview, Agarwal suggests the issue was different – Naughty Dog only had so much budget left over and putting more resources into The Last of Us Online would have meant that The Heretic Prophet would be put on ice.

KitGuru Says: Were you looking forward to The Last of Us Online? At the very least, I do hope we get to see some footage of it at some stage, as the game remained shrouded in mystery right up to its cancellation.

The Last of Us Online Was “Almost 80% Complete” When it Got Cancelled, Says Former Director

2 April 2026 at 14:20

Two characters on a rooftop armed with weapons overlook a city engulfed in smoke, tagged with '#SUMMERGAMEFEST'.

The Last of Us Online, otherwise known as Factions, was one of the casualties of Sony, and perhaps more accurately, Jim Ryan's push for PlayStation to churn out ten live service games to try and find something that would stick and become a new cash-cow for the company. Like most of those projects, The Last of Us Online was ultimately cancelled, but according to former game director Vinit Agarwal, the game was incredibly close to getting out the door before it was shuttered. Speaking on the Lance E. Lee Podcast from Tokyo, Agarwal digs into different periods of his career, […]

This streak looks to be continuing with Season 3, officially arriving today alongside tons of new maps; modes; weapons and more.

Officially going live later today, Black Ops 7 Season 3 is being split up in two halves as per usual (with the second half ‘Reloaded’ update arriving in roughly a month’s time. Even at launch however, Season 3 is set to introduce a great deal of substantive additions, including but not limited to:

ARC Raiders Flashpoint Update officially goes live today

31 March 2026 at 09:00

Following the explosive launch of Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders late last year, the team shared an official roadmap detailing the next 12 months of the live-service extraction shooter’s update plans. Ahead of its arrival later today, the team have shared everything you need to know about ARC Raiders’ Flashpoint Update.

Releasing a blog post to detail all of the upcoming content coming to ARC Raiders with the Flashpoint Update, the team at Embark have shared everything players will need to know upon its arrival later today. Partially teased in the initial roadmap, the Flashpoint Update is set to introduce the following:

  • New Major Map Condition – ARC Operations (Close Scrutiny)
    • Features less loot around the map
    • Increased importance on the ARC Assessor
  • New ARC Threat – Vaporizer
    • A flying ARC type featuring “devastating laser attacks and idiosyncratic attack patterns”

  • New Weapons and Items
    • Canto submachine gun with medium ammo
    • Dolabra energy shotgun with a variable focus
    • Surge Coil deployable defensive device
  • New Project – High Gain Antenna
  • You can now increase the types of loot Scrappy collects by feeding him particular items
  • Enemy placement adjustments
  • Crafting improvements with less tab-switching required to craft gear

Of course, the update will also launch alongside a suite of new paid cosmetics – a staple for pretty much all live-service titles at this point. Regardless, the Flashpoint Update represents the next stage in ARC Raiders’ first year on the market. It will be interesting to see how players respond to these changes and additions.

Discuss on our Facebook page HERE.

Battlefield Hardline is being delisted from consoles in May

24 March 2026 at 09:30

Battlefield Hardline remains one of the more interesting entries in EA’s massive FPS franchise, with the 2015 title being primarily developed by Visceral Games (as opposed to DICE) while moving away from military conflicts in order to focus on the “war on crime” – having you play as either police special response units or bog-standard criminals. Over a decade on from the game’s initial release, EA have now announced that BF: Hardline will officially be delisted from consoles this May; though it will remain playable and purchasable on PC.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the official Battlefield Comms page confirmed that “On Friday, May 22nd, Battlefield Hardline on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be removed from digital storefronts, and you will no longer be able to purchase it and all extra related content, such as DLC.”

They continued, “Online services on these platforms will end on Monday, June 22nd. While Hardline will no longer support online functionality on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, players who own the game will still be able to play the single-player component.”

Battlefield Hardline May

As mentioned, this delisting only pertains to the console version of Hardline, with EA confirming that “Today’s update does not impact PC. Battlefield Hardline on PC will remain available, including online services.”

No direct explanation was given for this decision, however it is safe to assume that the game no longer has enough of a population on console to justify it remaining online. Of course, Hardline released in an era prior to the rise in crossplay, and so the game relies on there being a healthy playerbase across each platform individually.

Given that Battlefield Hardline was a PS3/PS4 generation title, it is unlikely that many console players are going back to experience what was a pretty controversial release. All that said, here’s to hoping that the PC servers remain online and active for years to come.

KitGuru says: What did you think of Battlefield Hardline back in the day? Are you glad that pretty much all multiplayer titles released nowadays include crossplay? Let us know down below.

Double Fine Productions’ KILN officially launches next month

19 March 2026 at 09:00

Microsoft's annual Xbox Developer Directs have all featured a surprise or two, this year’s being the announcement for KILN – a multiplayer pottery game from Double Fine. Initially stated to be arriving some time in Spring of 2026, the team have now shared an official release date, beta details and more.

KILN is an experimental multiplayer game in which players design and then battle their clay creations across a multitude of game modes. Said to be one of Double Fine’s smaller projects, the team have now officially confirmed that the title will launch on 23rd of April for the relatively cheap price of $19.99 (though a special ‘Fired Up Edition’ is also available for $10 extra).

Those curious to try out this rather unique take on online multiplayer can do so early as Double Fine are currently hosting a number of closed betas (the sign-ups for which can be found HERE). Beyond this, KILN is also set to receive an open beta ahead of launch, meaning everyone will be able to give it a shot prior to purchasing. The Open Beta will go live on Steam from the 9th to the 11th of April.

The team also teased the game’s potential post-launch plans, stating that “we’re taking this open beta as an opportunity to not only test out our servers, but to see what resonates with players and what the Kiln team should be prioritizing next. We have a lot of possibilities with a game like Kiln—more customization, more maps, more modes—and, as much as we want to add everything we can to the game, we want to see what you, the players want the most.”

Launching a brand new multiplayer game – especially one as different as KILN – can be quite the uphill battle, and so it will be interesting to see whether the game manages to resonate with players during the beta period and eventually upon its official launch.

FBC: Firebreak gets final major update less than a year after release

18 March 2026 at 12:00

FBC: Firebreak was the latest project from Remedy Entertainment – the team behind beloved titles including but not limited to Alan Wake, Max Payne and Control. Set in the same universe as Control, this co-op live-service FPS failed to resonate with many, despite launching day-one onto multiple subscription services. With the ship seemingly not turning around any time soon, Remedy have now confirmed that the game’s latest major update will be its last.

Taking to their Steam page to make the announcement, the team at Remedy Entertainment unveiled the ‘Open House’ update for FBC: Firebreak. Available right now, this latest content drop is rather meaty, and includes:

  • New Friend’s Pass (up to 2 friends can play for free with you)
  • 5 new ‘Endless Shift’ arenas “inspired by locations from the original Control”
  • Gameplay enhancements
    • ‘Harmful condition’ improvements
    • Healing improvements
  • Streamlined / overhauled perk system
  • Weapon balance improvements
  • Quality-of-life features
    • Increased crawl speed
    • Faster revives

FBC Update

While a pretty significant update, it is unfortunately its last, with Remedy confirming that “Open House will be the last Major update for FBC: Firebreak. We won't be adding new playable content after this update.”

Fortunately, unlike most other live-service titles, servers are not being taken down anytime soon, with the team affirming the fact that “FBC: Firebreak will stay online and continue to be playable for years to come. We have done engineering work to ensure we can sustain the upkeep of the relay servers when the player volume is lower.”

Pretty much since its release in June of last year, Remedy have admitted that FBC: Firebreak had failed to capture a large audience. So, while it is unfortunate (yet unsurprising) to see support for the game ceasing, it is encouraging at least to see the title ending on a somewhat high note. Hopefully the game manages to find a dedicated playerbase who can enjoy FBC “for years to come.”

Helldivers II gets first ever content roadmap, promising tons of additions “over the next several months”

18 March 2026 at 10:00

While Arrowhead Game Studios have been pretty ‘on it’ when it comes to updating Helldivers II with new additions on a consistent basis, the team have never shared a proper roadmap, instead focusing on dropping surprise updates with relatively little heads-up. That said, in a first for Arrowhead, the team have released a comprehensive ‘content roadmap’ covering everything planned to be released “over the next several months.”

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the team at Arrowhead wrote: “Citizens of Super Earth,

For the first time since launch, we’re ready to share a clearer view of the battles ahead. Our fight for liberty continues to grow, and with each new front comes more opportunities to spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy.”

With that, the team have given players a look at the next 4 updates. Said to be arriving “over the next several months” the full list of announced additions is as follows:

  • Major Update 6.0
    • New Biome (Mega Factories)
    • New Vehicle (Bastion Tank)
    • New Limited-time event
    • New Enemies (Cyborgs and Vox Engine)
    • New Missions

Helldivers Arrowhead

  • Update 6.1
    • New Enemies
    • New Galactic War Campaigns
    • New Mission
  • Update 6.2
    • 2 New Biomes
    • New Galactic War Campaigns
    • New Enemy Variant
  • Update 6.3
    • New Biome
    • New Galactic War Campaigns

Of course, each of these updates will also introduce a new Warbond to acquire as well as general quality-of-life improvements / balance changes.

Helldivers II has received a ton of support ever since the game’s release. That said, some past updates have been met with backlash from fans and so hopefully having a longer-term roadmap will allow for greater levels of communication between Arrowhead and their community.

Physics-based sandbox ‘Teardown’ gets 12-player multiplayer and much more in new update

13 March 2026 at 12:00

Teardown is an impressive physics based sandbox title which first released back in 2022. Praised for its destructibility and possibilities in emergent gameplay, the game has only improved with time thanks to a bunch of free post-launch support. By far the biggest update however comes in the form of a 12 player multiplayer mode – officially available right now.

First teased back in July of last year, the team behind Teardown ‘Tuxedo Labs’ have officially gone live with the game’s latest update, writing: “Multiplayer is Here – Play together any way you want. Team up with up to 12 players in co-op, try modes like Deathmatch and CTF or unleash chaos together in Sandbox.”

The long-awaited update comes packed with a bunch of new modes, maps and more, namely:

  • Full base campaign now playable in Multiplayer
  • Treasure Thieves [game mode]
  • Deathmatch [game mode]
  • Team Deathmatch [game mode]
  • Capture the Flag [game mode]
  • Splitfield Estate [new map]
  • Cratertown [new map]
  • Full compatibility with multiplayer mods

All of this is free and available right now. As mentioned, Teardown has seen strong support over the years outside of this latest update, with previous patches introducing a 3rd-person mode; new playable characters; mod support improvements and more.

If you haven't checked the game out since its initial launch, now is a good time to hop back in, with each update making this dynamic and emergent experience even more so – especially now with a group of up to 12 friends.

Discuss on our Facebook page HERE.

PlayStation Plus Extra line-up for March has leaked early

11 March 2026 at 12:30

A couple weeks into each month, Sony announces and releases its line-up of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium titles. As with most months however, leakers have uncovered Sony’s plans early – revealing a pretty meaty month for PS Plus Extra including but not limited to Persona 5 royal and Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2.

As reported by Billbil-kun via dealabs (who has accurately leaked tons of previous monthly line-ups), PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium subscribers are set to receive a strong selection of titles next week. While things could of course change, as it stands Sony is set to bring half a dozen titles to the service on the 17th of March, namely:

  • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5)
  • Persona 5 Royal (PS5 | PS4)
  • Madden NFL 26 (PS5)
  • Metal Eden (PS5)
  • The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (PS5)
  • Astroneer (PS4)

For many, the headliners for the month are Persona 5 Royal and Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2.

Of course, Persona 5 Royal is the expanded/complete version of ATLUS’ 2016 JRPG. Released in 2019 (2020 in the West) the title introduced new characters; confidants; a 3rd semester and more. If you’ve not played Persona 5 in any capacity, Royal will have you sorted out for the next 100-150 hours or so.

Space Marine 2 on the other hand released in 2024 – a decade on from its first entry. The wait was worth it however, with the action-heavy 3rd-person shooter going on to sell millions of copies. Since launch, the title has only continued to improve, with the game receiving a ton of major updates, adding all sorts from new weapons to modes and much more; meaning now (well, next week) is as good a time as any to get stuck in.

Of course, Sony have yet to make the announcement themselves, and so we will have to wait and see, but Billbil’s track record when it comes to PlayStation Plus has been pretty much spotless and so expect the above to be your PS Plus Extra titles for the month of March.

Helldivers II to get WWI themed ‘Entrenched Division’ Warbond next week

11 March 2026 at 10:00

Arrowhead Game Studios have been keeping Helldivers II feeling fresh thanks to semi-regular in-game updates and events alongside a consistent cadence of Warbond releases. With regards to the latter, the team have now unveiled their WWI themed ‘Entrenched Division’ Premium Warbond – introducing new takes on classic weaponry, the ‘entrenchment tool’ shovel and more.

Available to purchase for the standard price of 1000 Super Credits (the resources for which can of course be obtained for free through gameplay), the Entrenched Division Warbond is officially arriving on the 17th of March.

As mentioned, this release is themed around WWI; with weapons, items and more inspired by the trench warfare of 100 years ago.

Like always, the Warbond features a mixture of weapons; strategems; cosmetics and more, including:

  • B/FLAM-80 Cremator Flamethrower (strategem)
  • A/GM-17 Gas Mortar Sentry (strategem)
  • SMG/FLAM-34 Stoker (submachine gun)
  • P-69 Veto (pistol)
  • CQC-73 Entrenchment Tool (shovel)
  • G-48 Giga Grenade (throwable)
  • CPG-48 Sapper (medium armour)
  • CPH-26 Commandant (light armour)

While Arrowhead need to make sure to maintain a balance between all of Helldivers’ continuously added content, it is exciting to see new weapons; armours; stratagems and other potentially game-changing features being added on a consistent basis.
