Each update or a new title goes through long stages of quality assurance. This helps when it comes to eliminating all the bugs before the release, but new errors can always appear during the shipment. Considering the number of unique gaming rigs around the world, it’s practically impossible for Riot Games to test every possible scenario without releasing anything, creating situations where the developer has to improvise on the spot.

For most longtime players, it won’t take long to find the answer to the daily Wordle puzzle. Every day, the game will pick a five-letter word from the English dictionary for players to figure out within a 24-hour and six-guess limit. There are no clues except the letters in the words, which will change colors depending on their presence and position in the final answer. It’s a format reminiscent of the classic code-breaking puzzle game Mastermind.

A new feature called the Crystal Ball and a mechanic called “The Coin” have been added to the game.

Aliens have invaded Final Fantasy XIV with the latest expansion, Endwalker. The Lunatenders, those peculiar sticks that wander in Mare Lamentorum, are among them. Players who like these creatures can get them to accompany them through their adventures as minions. There are two Lunatender minions: the Prince and the Royal ones. While the Prince Lunatender is blue, the Royal one has golden skin. Both minions can be bought from the Market Board or traded and are random loot from activities, so they can be a hassle to get if you’re unlucky.

When you boot up VALORANT for the first time, you might notice your agent pool is a little small. Keeping the character pool small at first allows players to focus learning the core mechanics of the game, but sooner or later players will want to try out other agents to see if they like them better. Luckily, there’s a way to unlock other agents—just be prepared to grind a bit.

See Destiny 2 on Amazon Since this Hand Cannon is a great choice for all activity types, there will be a series of different Igneous Hammer god rolls depending on what you’re aiming for.

The vast world of Teyvat in Genshin Impact is full of unique resources for players to collect. Every character in the game requires a different set of materials to build them up and newly added five-star Electro Catalyst user Yae Miko is the second one to require Sea Ganoderma for Ascension, the other being fellow Inazuman character Kazuha.  Sea Ganoderma is not a newer resource within the game, but the area it first appeared in, the Golden Apple Archipelago, was a special event area that is now inaccessible to players.
