January brought a variety of games to PlayStation Plus, including Need for Speed Unbound, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper. While the free games were appreciated by some, many players felt underwhelmed. The February 2026 lineup aims to offer broad appeal again, hoping to provide something for all types of gamers, but its reception is yet to be determined.
Originally intended as a backstory to the online game Black Desert Online, Crimson Desert has become a standalone, single-player action-adventure game set in a vast medieval world.

The Revenge’s Hunger booster is really helpful for collecting Haze, which you need to increase your level. You can make it using items dropped by Jadwiga’s minions or Jadwiga herself at MagMell. Most of the ingredients come from Spectral enemies found in the Undead Forest during Holly’s storyline. Luckily, everything except Spectral Tissue is fairly common, so you shouldn’t have trouble getting what you need.
Since its recent launch, Moltbook has quickly grown to over 15,000 communities, 1.5 million users, 142,000 posts, and 653,000 comments. However, these numbers may not be entirely accurate. A security researcher discovered that nearly half of the accounts – around 500,000 – were created using automated software. This makes it difficult to determine how many users are real and how much of the activity on Moltbook is simply bots interacting with each other.
The Division has become a very successful series for Ubisoft, leading to a sequel in 2019, a mobile game, and a third installment currently being made. Currently, The Division 2 is experiencing renewed popularity thanks to ongoing updates, new seasonal content, the ‘Battle for Brooklyn’ expansion, and special events, including the return of the popular Survival mode with exclusive rewards. 2026 will mark the 10th anniversary of The Division, and Ubisoft has hinted at announcements throughout the year, though the recent release of a Definitive Edition has surprised some fans.
The Switch 2 is proving incredibly popular, largely thanks to its fantastic games. Not only can it play almost all of the games from the original Switch, giving players a huge library right away, but it’s also quickly building up a strong collection of games you can only play on the Switch 2. Even after just seven months, the system already boasts an impressive selection of exclusive titles that will keep players engaged for a long time.
Okay, so a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is definitely happening, but we’re going to be waiting a while for it. CD Projekt Red is working on the new Witcher game first, and they’ve said that won’t even be out until after 2026. They’ve confirmed the Cyberpunk sequel is in development, but it’s realistically four or five years away, at the very least. While we’re all patiently waiting, it’s interesting to look back and see why they didn’t include a third-person perspective in the first Cyberpunk 2077!
SquareSoft (now known as Square Enix) released one of the year’s most original games. Already famous for popular JRPGs, the studio surprised players with Parasite Eve. While it wasn’t as well-known as some of their other franchises at the time, Parasite Eve received rave reviews. Years later, it remains a uniquely fascinating game with a distinct vision that hasn’t been replicated.
The recent Xbox Game Pass announcement revealed that the award-winning indie game Indika was already available, and Final Fantasy 2 joined the library on February 3rd.

Chainlink (LINK), that fickle minx of the crypto world, has found itself in a pickle after a corrective move so aggressive it’d make a bull in a china shop blush. Having lost its footing at the $21 mark, it’s now clinging to $9.65 like a barnacle on a ship’s hull. This isn’t just any old support level-it’s the kind of support that’s been there through thick and thin, like a loyal hound dog in a storm.
