Games like Stardew Valley have become incredibly popular recently, and this is largely due to a growing desire for relaxing and comforting gameplay, especially after the pandemic. The life-simulation genre isn’t new, though – games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing have been around for decades and were key inspirations for Stardew Valley and other similar games where players can build a virtual life focused on activities like farming, fishing, and exploration. Starsand Island shares similarities with these games, but it’s trying to stand out with its unique cultural setting, which has excited fans of the cozy life-sim genre. However, players on consoles will have to wait, as the game’s launch plans have recently changed.

The team behind ARC Raiders recently shared an update on social media. This is just the beginning of their plans for the game, with a content roadmap extending through April 2026, promising plenty more to come for fans of this extraction shooter.

Setting up the Automated Industrial Complex for Endfield Industries can seem daunting, especially if you don’t usually play automation games. Luckily, you can find helpful pre-made designs created by other players to simplify the process.

The road to release for Hytale was quite bumpy. It started in 2015 as a Minecraft server and eventually grew into a full game. After years of work, Riot Games canceled the project in mid-2025, but Simon Collins-Laflamme, the original founder of Hypixel Studios, bought it back. Hytale launched in early access on January 13, 2026, and quickly became very popular. Thanks to this early success, the developers have secured funding for the next few years and aren’t slowing down – they’ve already released two major updates in the two weeks since launch, with many more planned for the coming months.

Unlike most items in Endfield, Aerospace Materials aren’t found by looting enemies or containers. Instead, you get them by using Recycling Stations, which are located throughout the game world. You can spot these stations on your map by their owl symbol.

The upcoming remake of Black Flag is reportedly called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, and I’m really excited about the prospect of playing as Edward Kenway with updated graphics. While it’s great to think about seeing Black Flag reimagined, we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves about the future of the Assassin’s Creed series as a whole. Even if Black Flag Resynced turns out to be an incredible remake, the series’ direction remains uncertain. Essentially, Black Flag Resynced is about revisiting a beloved classic, not predicting what’s next. Whether Ubisoft’s plans for the future of Assassin’s Creed will live up to the hype surrounding the remake is still unknown. Only time will tell if their ambitious plans for the franchise are successful.

Even though we’ve only seen a little of Forza Horizon 6 so far, it’s clear the game will have a lot of new and returning features that both longtime fans and new players will enjoy. The Forza Horizon series has always struck a great balance between easy-to-pick-up arcade driving and more realistic racing, letting players customize their experience exactly how they like it, and Forza Horizon 6 looks to continue that tradition. Here’s a look at some of the officially confirmed features that have us excited.

Remedy Entertainment, the studio behind Control, released the co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak in 2025, but it didn’t do well financially and received mixed reviews. Shortly after launch, it often had fewer than 10 players online at the same time – a significant underperformance for such a well-known developer. Also released in 2025 was Pax Dei by Mainframe Industries, a medieval-inspired social sandbox MMO and one of the newest free-to-play games on Steam. Finally, No Rest For The Wicked, a Soulslike game from Moon Studios (the creators of Ori and the Blind Forest), was released in 2024 and has received “Very Positive” reviews on Steam, meaning genre fans are enjoying it.

You can find Ferrium very early in the game near the Core AIC Area in Valley IV. From the AIC, go east and follow the road up to the upper plateau. The Ferrium field is close to a teleportation point up there.
