Just take note that there have been instances where the actual changes weren’t revealed until a day after the patch. Yes, we’re not making this up.
While EA seems to be fumbling its post-release plans for College Football 25, out of the gate, it’s one heck of a football sim. Read on for our review to see why we thought highly of it when it was released.

As promised by Sabotage Studio, the free content drop for hit RPG Sea of Stars is now live on all platforms! Titled “Dawn of Equinox” players will see this as Sea of Stars update 1.07 on last-gen platforms, while current-gen console owners will be prompted to download version 1.007.
The Sea of Stars Dawn of Equinox content drop houses a lot of new additions and features, such as local co-op, a revamped prologue, an overhaul of the combat and more.
Sea of Stars Update 1.07 Adds a Slew of New Features All for Free
All-New Local Co-op: Sea of Stars’ story will be playable in its entirety by up to three players, with allies traversing the world together and mastering a new Co-op Timed Hits combat mechanic.
Combat 2.0: The addition of Mystery Locks brings a new gameplay loop around revealing the ways to break the spells of enemies each time a new type is encountered in battle. Along with “Reveal” functions added to some of the playable cast’s special skills, Combo Points now remain after battle, offering new ways to open certain encounters, or test different damage types on enemies to reveal their locks. A comprehensive balancing pass has also been done to reflect both these new changes and player feedback since launch.
A Revamped Prologue: Implementing combat for the young versions of our heroes, the updated flow does away with the flashback structure to begin in their childhood, directly including action in the prologue.
Bonus Cinematic Scene: An entirely new cutscene has been added to accentuate a pivotal moment in the original adventure, referred to as “Paths on Water”.
A Speedrunner Mode Relic: This new item activates a range of features helpful for those looking to set a new personal best or world record.
Difficulty Presets: Three difficulty options are now available when starting a new game, which are presets using the game’s Relics. New Relics have also been added, both for quality of life and difficulty adjustments.
Improved Parrot Relic: Sea of Stars’ secret-tracking parrot has learned a few new tricks to better assist players tracking down overlooked challenges and collectibles.
Quebecois Localization: A comprehensive French Canadian translation for Quebec’s finest Solstice Warriors.
Quality of Life Improvements: An array of general updates and improvements spanning Sea of Stars’ full campaign.
In the press release sent out by Sabotage, the studio mentions how they see the update as a way of refining the Sea of Stars experience even more, with Thierry Boulanger, co-founder of Sabotage Studio stating, “We ultimately see Dawn of Equinox as the community’s gift to us – the overwhelming love and support they’ve shown us ever since we announced Sea of Stars is what gave our team the means to return to the project and refine it even more.”
This isn’t the end for the RPG, as there is premium DLC on the way with Throes of the Watchmaker DLC.
If you’re still on the fence about the game, go read our review here, where we state, “Sea of Stars will take any seasoned gamer back to a simpler times, when the games were colorful, flat, and lengthy. If you want a turn-based RPG that is easy to pick up and yet quite challenging, then you’ll want to check out Sea of Stars.”

Rockstar has released GTA San Andreas update 1.007, which is something the other two games from The Trilogy – Definitive Edition also received today. This brings visual enhancements to the game, though don’t expect anything major.
Note that as far as we’re aware, this patch isn’t available yet for last-gen platforms, though we are expecting that to change soon.
GTA San Andreas Update 1.007 Adds New Visual Modes
Update: Rockstar has released the official patch notes, and confirmed the patch is only for current-gen consoles and PC.
[November 12, 2024] General – PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC
Numerous fixes and improvements
Added Classic Lighting mode which restores the look and feel of the sky in the original games
While Rockstar Games has not released any official patch notes just yet, based on our testing, we found a few notable changes made.
Classic lighting
Improved models
Improved textures
It seems the entire Definitive Edition got the classic lighting mode option that was available for mobile two years ago. You can read about it in our breakdown to see what we mean. Apparently, this update brings the console and PC version up to par to the Netflix version of the trilogy. Yes, you read that right — the mobile version of a game is ahead of the console and PC versions.
We are on the lookout for more changes made, and if Rockstar releases the official notes, which we presume will happen later today, we’ll add the info in the article.

Would you believe that it’s been over two years since Rockstar Games released a new update for GTA Trilogy Definitive Editions? Yeah, me neither, and yet that was the surprise waiting for me this morning. While the publisher hasn’t yet confirmed what it does, we can confirm that it has finally added one of the most requested visual features that were exclusive to the mobile versions of the games.
GTA Trilogy Definite Edition on Console Now Look Closer to the Original Releases
When the mobile versions of GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition were released nearly a year ago, one of the biggest differences was that all three ports in the collection featured a new lighting system called “classic lighting.” As one could expect from the name, the classic lighting option overhauled the games’ lighting to bring it closer to the original PS2 releases.
Mind you, it wasn’t a 1:1 recreation of the original lighting used. However, as evident in the Digital Foundry breakdown, the classic lighting system option provided a massive improvement over what many considered flat and lifeless visuals the original collection shipped with.
Sadly, and strangely, this update never left the mobile platforms, leaving PC and console gamers with the game’s originally shipped lighting.
Well, all that changed today, as the newest title updates for each title in the trilogy have added the new classic lighting system to each game, finally bringing one of the most requested features that fans have had to consoles. I took a couple of screenshots from the PS5 version to compare and show the differences.
The update only appears to be for next-gen consoles and PC, as the option is still absent from the PS4 version. There’s no reason last-gen versions shouldn’t get the update, too, though, given how long it took to even get this option; who knows?
Regardless, this is spectacular news for all fans and a rather big surprise, considering that Rockstar hasn’t touched any of the console titles for almost two years now. The last update released on consoles was in October 2022, a minor one addressing performance and stability in all three titles.
The mobile version, however, has been receiving constant updates, with the latest being in July 2024. Chances are, the new console update also includes several fixes and improvements that have already made their way into the mobile versions over the last few years. However, we did notice that in GTA 3, Claude is still missing gestures and reactions to things, such as staring back at people chasing him or reacting to a car almost hitting him, which was in the original release and the mobile version. So, while this update probably has more improvements hidden away, don’t go in expecting everything that the mobile versions added to be included.
We’ll keep tabs to see if Rockstar Games even acknowledges the new updates, but for those who were holding off, hoping to see the classic lighting option come to console in order to play, well, now is your chance to finally experience the upgraded releases. Assuming of course, that other areas have been addressed with these updates.

Greetings Space Marines!

PATCH NOTES
New Weapon: the Neo-Volkite Pistol
The Neo-Volkite Pistol, a powerful thermal ray weapon, is now available for the Assault, Vanguard, and Bulwark classes!
Unlike other weapons, the Neo-Volkite Pistol blasts a heat ray onto your enemies, dealing accumulative thermal damage. Focusing on one enemy will ramp up the damage—until it generates a localised explosion for huge damage to your target and all nearby enemies.
Please note that the Neo-Volkite Pistol will only be available in Operations mode for now as we continue to experiment with balancing in PvP. It will be added to Eternal War mode in our next major update alongside a new Operations map, a new enemy, and the Dark Angels cosmetics. Until then though, you’ll be able to try it out against your friends in the Battle Barge’s Sparring Arena!

The Pelupelu allied society main quests and daily quests will employ an automatic level adjustment system known as quest sync, which will match the difficulty of the battles to the player’s current job and class levels.

Furthermore, certain quests will not allow players to proceed with a class or job that is different than when they accepted them.

The following additions and adjustments have been made to quest progression settings:

The following adjustments have been made to the quest completion window for quests with selectable rewards:
The layout has been adjusted.
If the “Complete” button is pressed without selecting a reward, a reward selection window will now display.
The following adjustments have been made to the duty list:
Up to 10 duties can now display simultaneously.
The number of duties displayed can be adjusted from the HUD tab of the Character Configuration window.
* Up to 5 duties are set to display simultaneously by default.
Icons in the duty list can now be selected to perform emotes or open the crafting log in quests from the 6.5x patch series and earlier.
* Certain quests may not support this feature.
When using a controller, the cursor will no longer remain on the duty list after selecting an icon to complete a quest objective.
Until now, the cursor would remain on the duty list, meaning players would sometimes unintentionally use emotes and key items when attempting to select the confirm button. This adjustment is designed to prevent this issue.
When carrying out tradecraft guildleves, icons in the duty list can now be selected to open the crafting log.
When accessing the map from the journal or duty list, the icon of the selected quest will now be prioritized over other icons on the map.

An outfit glamour condenses a set combination of items into a single slot and stores it in the glamour dresser.
Items condensed in this manner can still be added to glamour plates individually and used to glamour equipment.
* As of Patch 7.1, this feature works primarily with level 1 items that have a unique appearance.
Compatible Items
Items that can be used to create an outfit glamour are denoted by a “+” mark over the glamour dresser icon in the upper right corner of the item help window.
After selecting a compatible piece of equipment, open the subcommand menu and select “View Outfit Glamour-ready Items” to produce a list of equipment required to create an outfit glamour with the chosen item.
Creating Outfit Glamours

Using Outfit Glamours
Equipment stored as an outfit glamour will lose any dyes previously applied.
* You may re-dye the items after they have been used to glamour current equipment or added to a glamour plate.
The entire set of equipment must be stored at the same time in order to create the outfit.
For example, if the desired outfit glamour requires equipment from the head, chest, legs, and feet categories, you may not store the head and feet pieces by themselves. Note that any pieces stored separately must be removed from the glamour dresser to create the outfit glamour.
All items in the set must be of the same quality.
Normal-quality equipment cannot be grouped alongside high-quality equipment.
Certain items can now be sold, desynthesized, or submitted for expert delivery missions.

Ubisoft has been facing tough times recently, and a new controversy involving The Crew has added to the challenges. Some players are now suing the company, raising questions about game ownership and digital licenses.
The Crew, part of Ubisoft’s racing game franchise, became the center of debate after its servers were shut down in December 2023. By April 2024, players could no longer access the game they had purchased.
In response, two gamers from California have now filed a class action lawsuit against Ubisoft, claiming the company’s actions were unfair. While Ubisoft offered refunds to players who had recently purchased The Crew, many long-time owners were left without options. This led to the decision to bring the matter to court.
The lawsuit, filed on November 4 in California, uses a comparison to describe Ubisoft’s actions. They compared the situation to buying a pinball machine that comes with all its components, only for the manufacturer to later remove the paddles and bumpers, making it unusable.
Additionally, the lawsuit accuses Ubisoft of misleading players on two fronts. First, it claims that players were led to believe they were purchasing the game outright, but they were actually obtaining a limited license, even for physical copies. The packaging reinforced this misunderstanding by suggesting that the game could still be played offline after online support ended, which was not the case.
Second, it alleges that physical discs and downloaded files were falsely represented as containing the full game, while in reality, they functioned merely as access keys to a remote server. According to the lawsuit, these practices violated California consumer protection laws.
The two players are seeking to have the lawsuit approved as a class action, which would allow other affected players to join in seeking compensation. The case touches on broader concerns within the industry about digital delivery and ownership rights.
It will be interesting to see how this lawsuit against Ubisoft unfolds, as it could mark another key moment in the ongoing discussion about digital delivery.
Two months ago, Sony announced that Stellar Blade would be getting crossover content with JRPG, Nier Automata. Well, we now have a date for that, and it releases alongside a game update as expected, it arrives with a new game update.
First off, the Stellar Blade x Nier Automata DLC will be out this November 20, and yes, it is a paid purchase.
The content collab by Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung Tae and Nier Automata Director Yoko Taro is one “marked” by mutual respect and creativity” according to Shift Up.
The main thing in the premium DLC is Emil (voiced by Mali Kadowaki), the oddball character from Neir: Automata. Emil’s Shop also appears in the world of Stellar Blade where 11 different collab special items will be available. These are items that intertwine the best of both games.
If you don’t have plans on spending any money, there’s still a lot to look forward to, as Stellar Blade’s next update is also planned to roll out the same day! This brings Photo Mode and lots more to the action game.
Stellar Blade Finally Gets Photo Mode This November 20
What can we expect to be available in the patch planned for all base game owners? Here’s a rundown:
New accessory “Symbol of Legacy” – This changes the appearance and presentation of the Tachy Mode when equipped.
Lip-sync support for six additional languages (French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Latin American Spanish)
Players can now pick a specific song from the turntable to listen to.
Character customization expanded and added “No Ponytail” feature from the list of Ponytail Length,
Auto-targeting and ballistics correction features will be applied to enemy insta-kill skills.
Four new outfits are also on the way too!
Expect this to be a hefty download when it’s available, and hopefully, this will be accompanied by bug fixes as well. Based on the roadmap leak, we reported on, it seems this is the last known Stellar Blade update, though that doesn’t mean we won’t be getting more in the future. Speaking of updates, we did get one last month, and this was the patch that added PS5 Pro enhancement support.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle release is just a little under a month away, and as expected, Bethesda and Machine Games have begun ramping up their marketing, with the latest being an all new deep dive into the gameplay of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Better grab your hat, and whip, because you’re going to need it.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Dives Deep With 14 Minutes of Gameplay
Info from the press release:
Step inside the adventure of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™ with a brand new, extended, Deep Dive Gameplay video. From exploring ancient, trap-filled tombs to infiltrating enemy encampments in disguise, and heart-pounding swings across treacherous chasms with his whip, every moment in Indiana’s journey holds a new discovery.
You know, while I would have loved to see this in third-person over first, I have to say that this video has certainly convinced me that a first person Indiana Jones can work. I shouldn’t be surprised, considering that MachineGames, the developers behind the Wolfenstein series, is behind this, but still, the game looks impressive.
Beyond that, the deep dive also gave us some story tidbits, including a new look at Locus, who’s played by the late Tony Todd.
Elsewhere, several menus and options have also been confirmed and for those who like the challenge of things, there’s an option to turn off puzzle hints.
The deep dive also went over some of Indy’s abilities, which grant him several different affects such as being able to come back from a potential death, or gaining extra strength to takedown enemies unarmed.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle rides out December 9 on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the PS5 version releasing in Spring 2025.
A gamer at heart, James has been working for MP1st for the last decade to do exactly what he loves, writing about video games and having fun doing it. Growing up in the 90's gaming has been in his DNA since the days of NES. One day he hopes to develop his own game.
Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creator of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, recently shared his thoughts on the future of game design. According to Nagoshi, the industry’s obsession with bigger, longer, and more challenging games might be nearing its end as players start shifting their focus to other elements that make a game enjoyable.
In an interview with Famitsu, Nagoshi said, “I want to make a game that’s fun to play, but not too challenging. If you include overseas games, there are so many titles out there that it’s impossible to play them all.”
He also commented on the growing number of large-scale games, stating, “Looking at the situation, I think the number of console games for the general enthusiast is a bit excessive. There are still many titles coming out that boast large sizes, but I think the era of games where volume is a selling point is coming to an end.”
This change is also influencing Nagoshi’s approach to his first project with Nagoshi Studio, developed in partnership with NetEase Games. He revealed that the size of the game is still under consideration as the team moves closer to full development.
“We should be entering the mass production phase of the assets soon, so it’s time to decide on the final volume estimate, but I’m still thinking about whether it’s really good enough,” Nagoshi explained. “Of course we have the map, but the current version is so big, maybe even too big.”
Nagoshi added that the team initially designed a large map with roads and highways but has since been scaling it back to find the right balance. “This time, by researching existing games, we started by creating a fairly large map with roads and highways. Now we are gradually reducing it and exploring the best balance for the game.”
Meanwhile, Nagoshi’s first game is still unknown. He has hinted that it will include violence as a gameplay element but won’t fully dive into the thriller or horror genres. “I want my game to be more like a Quentin Tarantino film, so there’s room for humor,” he teased.

Visual Improvements
Updates for track side elements to bring better quality reflections and a more realistic appearance
All game modes and platforms have benefited from updates to materials used for track side elements such as sponsor boards, fences, panels, concrete barriers, and lights, with additional tweaks to shaders. These updates offer better quality reflections and a more realistic appearance overall but are especially noticeable on metallic textures and during wet conditions.
Updates to the Las Vegas environment, including real-world hotel branding and the animated Sphere for PC, PS5®, and Xbox Series Consoles
Iconic real-world Las Vegas hotels and casinos such as Caesars Palace and the MGM Grand have been represented in this update, replacing some of the fictional names on buildings around the street circuit. Additionally, Sphere now features a set of animations, similar to what you would expect to see on the real thing.
Improved Ray Tracing to generate cleaner images from the simulated light in real-time (PC, PS5®, and Xbox Series only)
We have updated the denoiser (a crucial set of algorithms used in Ray Tracing) to generate cleaner images from the simulated light in real-time. This allows things such as vehicle halos to be seen reflected on car bodywork, or glass on the start/finish straight at Albert Park to reflect their surroundings more accurately and with more clarity.
Improved the visual quality of spray from tyres in wet weather
At times, spray coming off tyres in wet conditions would look blocky and low resolution. This update aims to improve the effect of this spray, ultimately improving the look of wet weather conditions.
Reduced the amount of smoke generated by wheel spins and lockups in multiplayer sessions to prevent visibility issues
Depending on the circumstances, excessive smoke could be produced in situations where lots of cars are on the same stretch of track, such as during race starts. This update aims to reduce the time that tyre smoke stays around, improving visibility for those driving through it.
Minor visual improvements to a variety of F1 vehicle textures
Improvements to a variety of F2™ 2024 vehicle liveries and suits
