Announced with all the fanfare of a royal wedding, the CME CF Cryptocurrency Benchmarks now track a gaggle of digital glitterati: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP (XRP). Because apparently, even crypto needs a chaperone. 😉
Ball x Pit, the new game from Kenny Sun & Friends and Devolver Digital, quickly became a popular hit in 2025, surpassing major sales goals within its first week. Now, just two months after its release, the game has reached another impressive milestone – 1 million players!
Now that Red Dead Redemption is being updated for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and potentially the Nintendo Switch 2, players revisiting the game as John Marston might be surprised by some changes or aspects that haven’t aged well.
Rockstar revealed in November 2025 that their new game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Switch 2. This announcement came about a year after the launch of Red Dead Redemption on Steam, which attracted over 8,000 players simultaneously. While the Steam version was popular, it also faced criticism, as many players felt the $50 price tag was too high for a game that was over ten years old. Now, the updated Xbox version seems to be facing the same pricing concerns.
Xbox Game Pass had a great November, with new games like Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, The Crew: Motorfest, Kill It With Fire! 2, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, and Monsters Are Coming! Rock & Road added to the service. December is off to a strong start too, with Marvel: Cosmic Invasion arriving on December 1st and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage joining on December 2nd.
In a recent preview with GameSpot, Ishizaki explained that it was quite difficult to fine-tune the game after its release. He described the process as “a lot of trouble.”
K9 Finance, ever the diligent steward, has returned the unclaimed ETH to its rightful owners, closing the curtain on the bounty farce. Even the Shiba Inu team, those noble hounds, reclaimed their 20 ETH. 🐕💼 But the drama! The Shibarium Network, that official herald of the blockchain, has unveiled the latest twist in this saga of greed and blunder.
The masterminds of this operation were each handed over 21 years in prison, while their underlings got sentences ranging from 8 to 17 years. Oh, and they all have to pay back the full amount laundered. Good luck with that! 🤑 Also, their planes and luxury cars? Now property of the federal government. 🚗✈️
Just a heads-up for anyone excited about the update: it looks like we won’t be able to pre-load it this time. That means the times listed for the release aren’t when we can actually start playing, but when it shows up in the store. We might even have to download it ourselves, and they’ve got all the details on how to do that on their official page.
As a longtime Destiny 2 player, I’ve been pretty worried lately. The recent Edge of Fate update just didn’t seem to grab anyone, and honestly, it was riddled with bugs! A lot of us didn’t love the new Portal stuff either, and it all added up to a big drop in players. Bungie had to rush out fixes and even remove some features that just weren’t working. But I’m still holding out hope that the new Renegades expansion, which is taking inspiration from Star Wars, can really get things back on track. I’m really hoping it’s a turning point for the game!
