PS Plus Free, Extra Games for January 2026 Officially Prove Premium is the Black Sheep of the Family

Okay, so the free PS Plus games for January – Need for Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper – didn’t exactly blow everyone away, but I gotta admit, they at least tried to give us a little variety with different types of gameplay.

Borderlands 4 Releases New Update for January 2026

Players recently expressed frustration with Borderlands 4 after the popular Seasons Lootings event ended. During the holidays, Gearbox boosted the rate at which rare and powerful gear dropped, giving players a great chance to find awesome loot.

Gearbox acknowledged the positive feedback and said they were exploring ways to permanently increase drop rates, but couldn’t share any specifics yet.

Where to Find Lightwood in Hytale

Birch is one of the first types of Lightwood players will encounter. It’s commonly found in autumn-themed areas near the usual green meadows.

Shroud Issues Blunt Statement on Hytale

Work on Hytale started way back in 2015, but it wasn’t officially announced until 2018 with a popular trailer that gained over 60 million views and sparked a lot of online discussion. Hypixel Studios continued developing the game for several years, and in 2020, they were acquired by Riot Games, the creators of League of Legends. Unfortunately, things took a turn last year when Riot unexpectedly canceled Hytale and stopped development. The studio explained that the game was simply too ambitious in scope, and Riot worried it might never be completed.

IB’s Stablecoin Gambit: Faster Funds, Fewer Fees 🚀💸

  • Stablecoin funding, it seems, is the new black (though less stylish than cashmere). Eligible clients may now deposit USDC, with RLUSD and PYUSD joining the fray like latecomers at a cocktail party. Settlement? Near-instant. Drama? Minimal.
  • CEO Milan Galik, a man whose enthusiasm for blockchain could power a small nation, claims these 24/7 rails solve “cross-border pain points.” Translation: No more waiting days for money to arrive while your patience evaporates like a teakettle in a sauna.
  • The stablecoin market, now a $310B+ titan, thrives on the U.S. GENIUS Act-a legislative marvel that finally gave digital dollars the legal nod they craved, much like a debutante securing her first dance card.
