Late last year, Epic Games filed a lawsuit against a Fortnite player named Sebastian Araujo alleging that he used cheating software on multiple occasions during tournament play that allowed him to beat players who followed the game's rules. Now, Epic has announced that the court has made a summary judgment in its favor, in part because Araujo never responded to the lawsuit.Epic shared the news on social media and noted that the judgment was for $175,000. Additionally, Araujo has been banned from Fortnite for life. Epic also stated that it plans to donate any money it collects to Child's Play, a charity that provides sick children in hospitals with toys and games to keep their spirits raised and encourage healing.THIS JUST IN: The Judge ruled in our favor after the cheater ignored our lawsuit. The player is required to pay $175,000 and we’ll donate what we collect to charity. They are also banned from playing Fortnite forever. https://t.co/on0dYWBdq4 — Fortnite Competitive (@FNCompetitive) June 25, 2025 This outcome shouldn't be too surprising, as Epic has aggressively gone after cheaters as well unscrupulous players who sell cheating programs. In 2022, Epic won a sizable amount from an Australian Fortnite cheat maker and donated the settlement to Child's Play. Earlier this year, Epic took action against pro Fortnite player Morgan Bamford aka RepulseGod and banned them from ever taking part in the game's organized tournaments again. Bamford subsequently apologized and returned the prize money to Epic, which once again donated the total to Child's Play.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Later this year The Outer Worlds 2 will take players to a distant colony world called Arcadi, where they can shoot their way out of trouble with a new assortment of weapons. According to the game's director, Brandon Adler, Obsidian Entertainment knew the sequel needed to be a significant improvement over The Outer Worlds. To achieve that goal, the team turned to the developers of Halo for advice."We ... talked to the Halo folks," Adler tells The Guardian. "They gave us a huge list of stuff and said, 'You guys should target this… you should add that to your weapon configurations.'" Adler also says that Obsidian "did a full breakdown on Destiny, because we love how that [gunplay] felt.'"Adler notes that the sequel doesn't have loading screens before entering buildings like its predecessor, and the weapons have been revamped with fresh options and customizable features.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is out this week, and players are discovering some of the nuances of the game while exploring the open-world areas of Mexico and Australia. One particular feature returning from Death Stranding essentially lets players decide where a road will be placed in the game simply by using the same route multiple times.Content creator Synth Potato posted an example of this on X. Apparently if enough players make the same driving choices in the wilderness, Death Stranding 2 will respond by clearing a path and making it a road that all players that can eventually use.Death Stranding 2 has a completely hidden mechanic where if you and other players keep using the same path, it eventually becomes an actual road and all the rocks/trees in the way get cleared.This mechanic was also in DS1 but I'd say 99% of players never knew about this pic.twitter.com/9KK2oTkYlT — Synth Potato🥔 (@SynthPotato) June 25, 2025 Neither Death Stranding 2 nor its predecessor hid this feature and it's not completely unknown. But it has caught some users on social media by surprise. The flash flood sequences have also shocked players by their sudden appearance.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Diablo Immortal will add another class on July 3, but rather than an entirely new creation like the Blood Knight or Tempest, Blizzard's free-to-play mobile ARPG will instead introduce a fresh take on the franchise's Druid archetype.This isn't the same Druid players of Diablo 2 or Diablo 4 might be familiar with. More isolationist and feral than other Druid groups, the Druids of the Sharval Wilds unleash primal fury upon their foes, brimming with the chaotic energy of mother nature.Diablo Immortal's Druid is more primal and chaotic than the one seen in Diablo 2 or 4.When it came to making Diablo Immortal's Druid stand out from earlier versions, Blizzard looked to the real world for timely inspiration. There's a reason Diablo Immortal's version of the Druid uses wildfire-inducing fire magic and earthquake-creating earth magic, two elements that can spiral out of control and wreak havoc on the surrounding environment.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Peak has officially become a sleeper hit with gamers. The co-op climbing game recently reached over one million sales in under a week and is in the top 40 of the most-streamed games of the past few months. The game was created as a partnership between Another Crab's Treasure developer Aggro Crab and Content Warning creators from Landfall, with most of the development taking place during a month-long jam session.In an interview with PC Gamer, Aggro Crab studio head Nick Kaman talked about the making of the game and being jealous of Landfall's whirlwind method with Content Warning that he felt "turned everything we know about game development upside-down."At the time, Aggro Crab was about to launch its biggest game ever, Another Crab’s Treasure, an intense three-year-plus-long project that he felt burned out his team. "While it was a success, Content Warning was a much bigger one made in much less time," Kaman said via email. Lucky for Kaman's team, there was already an established friendly relationship between the studios, so when he asked if they could join the other team in Seoul, they got an enthusiastic yes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Patch 1.1.2 for Mario Kart World hit Nintendo Switch 2 consoles recently, and with it came a few minor adjustments to tracks like Boo Cinema and Dino Dino Jungle. However, many players have taken to Reddit and other internet sounding boards to voice their displeasure with the match, as it seems to have made some unwelcome changes to online play.Multiple users have revealed that Patch 1.1.2 makes it more difficult to have the standard three-lap race when playing online with friends. Matchmaking, it seems, prefers what have been dubbed "intermission races"--or races where drivers must instead ride through the open map from one track to another, and then run a single lap on the new track.Luigi, did you send that patch?!However, before each race, players were allowed to choose a track, and it was discovered that the "Random" option would always choose a track for a standard three-lap race--until this patch changed it. Now, while the Random option still sometimes offers a three-lap race, intermission races have become more prevalent since the patch was pushed out.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Dune: Awakening's big endgame changes are now live, transforming half of the game's formerly player vs. player heavy-Deep Desert region into a player vs. environment-friendly space.The change came quicker than fans perhaps expected. News that developer Funcom would be making a big shift to the survival MMO's endgame came just a few days ago in a blog post from the game's creative director, Joel Bylos, who said Funcom's goal was not to "force PvE players to interact with a PvP system that they may have no interest in." That news was followed by a public test client build for the game's 1.1.10.0 patch that listed the Deep Desert changes (among many others).However, a hotfix released today makes it so the southern half of the Deep Desert is now open for PvE business, though there are still pockets of PvP to be found. Shipwrecks and control points found within the southern half of the region will still be PvP zones. Funcom notes that it rebalanced the distribution of Dune: Awakenings coveted endgame resources around this change, making it so that "loot overall is more valuable and plentiful in the northmost PvP zones." PvE players will still be able to find the highest tier of resources in the southern regions of the zone, just not as much of it.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Developer Sloclap's new soccer game, Rematch, is putting up big numbers and people are enjoying it quite a lot. The game isn't working totally as intended, however, as players have discovered that they can move faster if they jump instead of run. That's not how it's supposed to work, so Sloclap is fixing it."We're aware this is an issue and an unpopular unintended tech. We're planning to push a fix very soon, before this weekend," the studio said in a post on Reddit. "Thank you for your patience!"Jumping being faster than running just doesn’t feel right byu/Hiken_D inRematch As you can see in the video above, jumping appears to give players an edge over those who run. In a competitive-type game like Rematch, players are looking for any edge they can get, and anyone taking advantage of this will only be able to do so for a short while longer.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
