Traditionally, the number of players online at the same time has been a good way to judge how well a game is doing. For example, when *Hollow Knight: Silksong* had almost 600,000 players playing simultaneously on Steam, it was considered a big achievement for the developers. Now, a new game on Steam is showing similar promising numbers, suggesting it could be one of the platform’s most popular new releases.
For the last ten years, FromSoftware, led by director Hidetaka Miyazaki, has become famous for creating challenging “soulslike” games. They’ve inspired many other developers, and their success reached a high point with *Elden Ring*, which is now considered one of the most popular and highly-rated games ever made. While FromSoftware has made other types of games, they truly excel at soulslikes, consistently refining the formula and keeping each new game both familiar and innovative.
In July 2025, Sony filed a lawsuit against Tencent over the game *Light of Motiram*, claiming it unfairly copied their *Horizon* series.

However, Tencent has countered, stating that Sony’s claims aren’t strong enough to justify a full trial.

As the story of *One Piece* nears its end, fans are speculating about which important characters will survive the final journey. While Luffy, Blackbeard, and Shanks are expected to be central figures in the concluding events, another pair of characters, even though they haven’t been seen much lately, are also likely to play a crucial role in the fight for the One Piece treasure.
Since its rocky start in 2016, *No Man’s Sky* has been dramatically improved with numerous free updates. The developers have consistently added new features and content to address player concerns and fulfill promises made for the game. They’ve especially focused on listening to player feedback and incorporating requested changes, and have even increased the frequency of updates in recent years. Following recent major additions, the team released an experimental version in early September to tackle frustrating issues. Now, Hello Games is working on another set of bug fixes, which will soon be available for players on all platforms.
Bop It, created by Dan Klitsner, first came out as a line of audio toys from Hasbro in 1996. The basic idea was to listen to fast-paced voice commands and quickly react by ‘bopping,’ ‘twisting,’ or ‘pulling’ the device. As players successfully followed the instructions, the game got faster and more difficult. Bop It became incredibly popular, leading to many different versions and partnerships that continue even now.
