🏆 Crimson Desert is ON TOP of Steam sales for the fourth time, beaten only by four free‑to‑play giants, while Slay the Spire 2 is right on its heels.
Preorders pushed Forza Horizon 6 into the top three; Resident Evil 4 stays strong, and fresh entries Road to Vostok and Soulmask made the list. ARC Raiders closes out the top ten.
⚡️ Bloober Team has upgraded its leadership: Thaine Lyman is the new studio head (ex‑Activision/Wargaming), Katya Baukova joins as head of business development (ex‑CD Projekt/Techland), and Michał Gembicki will run publishing (former Klabater CEO, CD Projekt veteran).
The move follows a clear strategy, not blind expansion: Bloober will keep two in‑house single‑player horror titles in production and be involved in five more under the Broken Mirror Games label. CEO Piotr Babieno says the studio prioritises staff retention, financial discipline and long‑term stability, no MINDLESS growth that ends in layoffs.
Resort apocalypse lands in ARC Raiders, Embark is teasing a massive UPDATE Riven Tides, due end of April 🌊
The first coastal map in six months is set in the abandoned Panorama Azzurro resort: collapsing hotel, discos, tennis courts, ports and beaches. Expect a giant sea boss to shake up ARC's flying‑machine fights, plus new quests, projects and an expanded raider deck, the biggest update since October 2025.
⚡️ Active Matter devs did a big Q&A and cleared up the hot topics, Гигахрущ, bugs, rewards and lore. SOLID
Summary: Active Matter is a mysterious substance that both collapses timelines and is the only thing that can restore the Multiverse; the Agency is building a resilient timeline. Holiday events are coming, weapon stats will be shared after fixes to the Гигахрущ update, and VR hasn't been seriously explored yet. Reports are reviewed by priority with match logs; replays are in active development; the Harmonization UI will be made clearer. At 100% Harmonization the universe shifts to a new phase, players can opt to skip the transition by creating a personal timeline (sacrifice current progress to instantly move on, which also speeds the global transformation). Rewards will be slightly reduced after Harmonization but remain available until the end of the current full cycle (~3 months: ~1 month Harmonization + ~2 months stabilization). Planned: extra Monolith rewards, more Shelter decor and furniture, trunks for more vehicles, underbarrel grenade launchers (bayonets not soon), new short‑term stimulants, a token provenance catalog, a perk‑reset (one free), better vehicle interactions, early extraction for robo‑dogs later, and they're investigating the sound bug. Raid/task variety and other QoL features are coming; increasing max squad size isn't planned right now.

ShinyHunters dumped stolen Rockstar files, not juicy personal stuff but the ledgers, and surprise: Rockstar is cashing out by the SHOVEL 💰
The leak shows revenue and sales: GTA Online $9.6M/week ($500M/year) vs RDO ~$500K/week. Active users ~9.9M vs 970K; spenders ~393K/15K. Rockstar refused the ransom, makes sense. GTA VI is due Nov 19, 2026.
Sacred: Last Pixel of Ancaria, first details, demo & Kickstarter timing 🎮
Steam page confirms SparklingBit and Enduring Games, backed by THQ Nordic, are making a direct sequel to the original. A temporal rift from the explosion of Shaddar's tower throws heroes from different centuries into one party. Hand‑crafted 16‑bit OLD-SCHOOL pixel art, hybrid combat (real‑time + tactical turn‑based), open world, deep skill combos and mod support. Demo and campaign on Kickstarter planned for the second half of 2026.
👀 SPOILERS: leaks reveal the plot of Metro 2039, the sequel will be shown at Xbox First Look on April 16.
The story takes place 25 years after the collapse: factions have been united under the fanatical Hunter, turning the underground into a regime of fear preparing to retake the surface. You play a hermit plagued by nightmares who must return to Moscow's hated tunnels. Expect an atmospheric single‑player shooter that mixes survival and stealth with a heavy personal drama in a world choking on propaganda and radiation.
⚡️ Honor of Kings: World launched, not just a Genshin Impact clone but an ambitious HYBRID with MMO scope and MOBA twists
Kanon gave it an A-. Combat is easy to pick up but hinges on timing and combos, no mindless clickspam; PvP leans into Overwatch-style skirmishes and story bosses are tough. The world is huge and looks modern, yet online you only see 22 player silhouettes; the main campaign plays mostly solo. Core hook: mid-battle class switching like a MOBA (grind/donate elements exist). In China it's positioned as the League of Legends MMO equivalent.
