MLB The Show Mobile Is Out Now So You Can Hit Dingers Anywhere

Today's not opening day for the MLB season, but it is opening day for a new MLB game. Sony has officially launched MLB The Show Mobile, so now you can keep hitting absolute bombs even if you had to take a bathroom break from the console versions. Games won't function exactly like they do in the console versions, however. Using a card system and a Momentum resource, you'll have to pick and choose when to deploy your best players in a game, with your squad all mixed up in a deck so you are not entirely sure who will be available at the start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ4GVQhNX8w The Seasons and Moments modes should be familiar to longtime MLB The Show fans. The former is focused on quick, three-inning games (like Mini Seasons in MLB The Show 26), and will dish out extra rewards as you progress. The latter, meanwhile is designed for quick challenges, letting you recreate famous plays or hit a certain stat target. And, as it's MLB The Show, there is of course a multiplayer component, but it's a little different here. Head-to-head play will see you compete against other players in "turn-based baseball minigames," with the highest score winning. You're not required to be playing at the same time, either, so it should offer some more flexibility. MLB The Show Mobile is now available on iOS and Android. Its big sibling MLB The Show 26 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.

Paralives’ Camera Is A Mess, But A Well-Known Sims Modder Is Here To Save The Day

The latest attempt to dethrone The Sims from its lofty perch as the unquestioned monarch of life sim games is Paralives, an indie game looking to provide much more depth of personality than we see from The Sims or InZoi. Things seem to be going well so far, with the Early Access title selling hundreds of thousands of copies(https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1118520/view/695387676933621101) and earning Very Positive reviews on Steam since it launched on May 25. But there's one thing pretty much everyone playing so far dislikes about it: that jerky and inconsistent camera. Fortunately, there's a solution to this problem, thanks to a well-known Sims modder hopping to the new game with a camera mod. For most folks, the hinky Paralives camera won't break their games, but it's an annoyance that they'll have to regularly wrestle with while they play. The way the camera works now, it's hard to precisely control your perspective, and it loves to shift down to a lower floor while you're trying to do stuff on an upper floor. When both of those issues rear their ugly heads at the same time, it can feel nearly impossible to click on the thing you want to click on, and those who are prone to motion sickness might even feel dizzy or ill as a result of the jerkiness. Depending on what you're doing in the game, it can goof up so frequently that it feels like the point of Paralives is to figure out how to use the camera controls effectively. Since Paralives is in Early Access and apparently doing very well, judging by those sales numbers, we should expect the devs will eventually smooth out the issues with the camera. But in the meantime, while you wait for that, there's a mod that will help. Courtesy of long-time popular Sims 4 modder TwistedMexi(https://www.patreon.com/TwistedMexi), the Sensible Camera Control mod makes camera movements more smooth, and removes some of its ability to make automatic adjustments, since it was those auto movements that caused the "falling through the floor" effect that's been driving players nuts. You can grab the Sensible Camera Control mod from the Steam Workshop here(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3732825585). It's not a perfect solution, of course, since the mod has some quirks of its own. But the many comments on the mod's Workshop page agree it's a big improvement over Paralives' vanilla camera. And the fact that TwistedMexi was able to create this mod so quickly could be a great sign for the future of modding in Paralives.

Helldivers 2’s Next Update Is “Just The Opening Salvo”

Helldivers 2's(https://www.gamespot.com/games/helldivers-2/) next update is one players have been vocal about wanting for quite some time, and it's not new content--it's an optimization and performance update, which developer Arrowhead Studios said is "just the opening salvo" of more improvements to come. As detailed by Arrowhead in a blog post(https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/666114279352566049?l=english), an update coming to Helldivers 2 on May 27 will look to improve stability, reduce latency, and add new upscaling support to the popular co-op shooter. The developer even included a massive collage of Reddit posts from players asking for upscaling support, to which Arrowhead has now replied, "We heard you." On the upscaling side of the equation, Arrowhead is introducing new options tailored to each platform, as well as support for dynamic resolution scaling and variable refresh rates and shading. Below is what's coming as part of the update. Helldivers 2 May 27 Update Features Upscaling Support - PC: FSR 4.0.3 (on supported GPUs), FSR 3.1.5, DLSS 4.5, and XeSS 3.0 - PS5 Pro: PSSR 1 - PS5: FSR 3.1 - Xbox Series X/S: FSR 3.1 Visual Optimizations - Variable Refresh Rate for PS5 and PS5 Pro - Variable Rate Shading - Dynamic Resolution Scaling for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, as well as increased resolution to 1440p PS5 "Quality" preset as part of PS5 power-saving mode, as well as in performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Reduced Latency - Nvidia Reflex - AMD Anti-Lag 2 Arrowhead said the update is just the first step when it comes to the goal of improving "performance across the fleet." Next steps will include making further adjustments as necessary once the update is live, but also an additional "tech-focused update" coming later in the summer to push the improvements "even further." The performance and stability update comes as Arrowhead has taken flak from players for poor communication with the Helldivers community and its focus on releasing paid DLC over improving technical issues. Those complaints have seen the game's recent user-review scores dip into "Mostly Negative" on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS2/), though the game still sports an overall "Very Positive" rating. In the blog announcing the new update, Arrowhead said it's "focused on being clearer, more consistent, and giving you better visibility into what's coming and why." More technical improvements aren't all Helldivers 2 fans have to look forward to. Arrowhead recently announced the game's next Legendary Warbond crossover will be with Warhammer 40K(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/helldivers-2s-next-legendary-warbond-is-warhammer-40k-but-dont-expect-space-marines/1100-6540085/) and release later this year.

The Witcher 3 Stream This Week Has Players Demanding New DLC

This week marks the 10th anniversary of Blood and Wine, the second and final DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Prior to its release in 2016, CD Projekt Red was very clear that this DLC was the end of the story for Geralt of Rivia. But now that the developer has announced a new Witcher 3 stream coming this week, players are getting their hopes up and asking for more new DLC. CD Projekt Red announced that The Witcher 3 - Blood and Wine anniversary stream will take place on May 28 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 5 PM CEST. The social media message doesn’t promise anything beyond a return “to the land of knights, vineyards, and vampires.” https://twitter.com/thewitcher/status/2059288819027910898 Regardless, players quickly made their wishes known. https://twitter.com/PatocheRouky/status/2059316203072442704 https://twitter.com/CyberPierogi/status/2056807028224610675 https://twitter.com/Azrael007x/status/2059296703740510364 https://twitter.com/qTazzzzzz/status/2059297134340386884 https://twitter.com/RavingCO/status/2059289256942600452 There were unconfirmed reports about additional Witcher 3 DLC(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-some-believe-a-witcher-3-expansion-is-coming-soon/1100-6537282/) earlier this year. More recently, it was rumored that the new DLC may bridge the gap(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rumored-witcher-3-dlc-likely-to-stay-close-to-velen-bridging-the-gap-between-witcher-3-and-4/1100-6538406/) between The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4. CD Projekt Red previously revealed that The Witcher 3 will get one last update(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/witcher-3-adding-a-big-new-feature-10-years-after-launch/1100-6531938/) that will let console players dive into numerous mods that PC players have created in the 11 years since the original game. However, that update was delayed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-3s-last-patch-is-delayed/1100-6535045/) and it doesn’t currently have a release date. It’s possible that the official announcement could come during this week’s streaming event. The Witcher 4 was officially unveiled near the end of 2025, and it doesn’t currently have a release date. While voice actor Doug Cockle has confirmed that he will reprise his role as Geralt in the sequel, Ciri will be the new main character of the game.

Epic Reveals Unreal Engine 6 With Rocket League Teaser

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/26/f8bfb302/rocketleagueunreal6.jpg.webp) This weekend, Unreal Engine 6 was unexpectedly revealed during the Rocket League Paris Major. The announcement coincided with a teaser for what was described as the future of Rocket League. The teaser trailer showed off real-time footage of Rocket League cars rendered in Unreal Engine 6. Whether this gameplay represents a wholly new Rocket League title or an update to the existing 2015 game (built in Unreal 3) is unclear. The teaser does not provide any more details for Unreal 6, and Epic’s website has not elaborated either. The reveal of Unreal Engine 6 comes six years after Unreal Engine 5’s initial 2020 reveal and four years after its 2022 launch. The current engine has essentially become the de facto engine for many games, especially in the AAA space. It's unknown when Unreal Engine 6 is expected to launch, but if its build-up is anything like Unreal 5's, expect more, hopefully lengthier tech demos in the coming year or so.

Take-Two Boss Knows You’re Paying More For Gas, Groceries–Says You’ll Buy GTA 6 Anyway

Strauss Zelnick, the head of Rockstar owner Take-Two, has commented on the price of new video games, and while he did not reveal how much GTA 6 will cost, he said people are going to line up to buy it because it will be so compelling. Speaking to IGN(https://www.ign.com/articles/take-two-boss-believes-in-the-pull-of-gta-6-even-amid-rising-cost-of-console-gaming), Zelnick said he is "sensitive to the fact that so many people are facing economic challenges" these days with rising gas, grocery, and rent prices--just to name a few. However, he said people aren't going to skip GTA 6 just because prices of many other things in their lives may be increasing. “If you give people what they want in the entertainment business, they will come out for it," he said. Also in the interview, Zelnick pointed out--as he has done before--that the prices for new games have actually declined over the past 30 years. For example, the price of GTA 5 when it launched in 2013 was $60 USD. Today, that's about $85 due to inflation. The standard going rate for big AAA games today is $70, and that price has not risen with annual inflation levels. Companies not raising prices has led to numerous developments in games that many people don't like, including more microtransactions(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/former-playstation-boss-says-aaa-game-development-/1100-6478908/). The thinking is that if companies refuse to charge more for games, they will find other ways to generate revenue to help offset increasing development costs. A Bank of America stock analyst said Rockstar should charge $80 for GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-should-be-80-and-other-companies-should-raise-prices-too-bank-of-america-says/1100-6539759/) to help encourage other publishers to raise prices as well, which in turn may help the industry overall become more sustainable. People generally do not like to see prices go up (especially if their own wages have not increased with inflation), but data does show that consumers are already ready and willing to embrace $80 games(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/people-are-ready-and-willing-to-pay-80-or-more-for-games-analyst-says/1100-6531571/). Zelnick, for his part, said Rockstar is trying to make GTA an experience that is "so much better than we people pay for, that they're thrilled to buy our titles." He added, "Our job is to make the best entertainment on earth and that's true across the board." Beyond the price of GTA 6--whatever that turns out to be--people will need a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S to play the game. Both platforms have seen price increases since they launched. The cheapest way to get in today is with the $400 Xbox Series S. The least expensive PS5 model is the $600 digital system. GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It was supposed to launch today, May 26(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-was-supposed-to-release-today/), but Rockstar delayed the project to help improve its quality.
