🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCAll player home locations in Forza Horizon 6
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/forza-horizon-6-home-locations.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Forza Horizon 6(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/forza-horizon-6)'s player homes are more than just convenient fast travel points. Some of them offer unique bonuses that help you in your racing career, while one player home is your permanent, customizable base that you can decorate however you see fit. Not all player homes unlock automatically, though. Like with barn finds, most player homes only become available once you reach certain Discover Japan milestones. You earn discovery experience by smashing mascots, discovering roads, completing story quests, and taking on delivery challenges. In other words, it'll take awhile before you can purchase every house. Read more(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/forza-horizon-6-player-home-locations-perks)
🖥 Xbox, PC, Multi-platformSubnautica 2 Is Off To A Massive Start
Subnautica 2 has been out for less than a day, and yet it's already attracted a massive number of players. Unknown Worlds Entertainment launched Subnautica 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-release-times-for-pc-and-xbox-series-x-s-revealed/1100-6539731/) on Steam and Xbox Series X|S at 11 AM ET, May 14. There was a ton of interest right out of the gate, and a look at Steam's most-played games(https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed) shows some eye-watering concurrent player count stats. It attracted hundreds of thousands of concurrent players on Steam almost immediately, peaking at 467,582. According to Unknown Worlds, combined concurrents on Steam, Epic, and Xbox topped 651,000. That dwarfs the launches of other hit Steam games this year, like Windrose(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/windrose-steam-numbers-show-people-want-pirate-games-as-black-flag-rumors-swirl/1100-6539469/). Subnautica 2 was the most-wishlisted game on Steam prior to its launch, and it's clear that those wishlists are converting into sales.

🖥 Xbox, PC, Multi-platformSubnautica 2 Is An Early Access Hit, Crossing 2 Million Copies Sold In Just 12 Hours
!Subnautica 2 Early Access PC Unknown Worlds Entertainment Steam(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/15/5aa73911/subnautica22.jpg.webp) Developer/publisher Unknown Worlds Entertainment launched Subnautica 2(https://gameinformer.com/product/subnautica-2-early-access) into Early Access yesterday, May 14, and in just 12 hours, the game surpassed 2 million copies sold. Subnautica 2 also reached 651,000 peak concurrent players across Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Xbox yesterday, making it clear that this highly anticipated underwater survival game is an Early Access hit. Subnautica 2 also has more than 12,500 reviews on Steam and maintains a "Very Positive" rating. Though Subnautica 2 still has a ways to go before matching its predecessor's sales, which sits at 18.5 million copies sold worldwide, it's off to a great start. Unknown Worlds Entertainment is Subnautica 2's publisher, but Krafton(https://gameinformer.com/2021/10/29/krafton-the-company-behind-pubg-acquires-subnautica-developer-unknown-worlds) originally filled that role. However, a lengthy (and still ongoing) legal battle saw Krafton fire Unknown Worlds Entertainment's then-CEO Ted Gill and other studio co-founders over allegations that they (and the team) had failed to get Subnautica 2 up to par for launch, arguing that Gill and others were even working on other games instead of the survival sequel. The legal battle led to Gill and others being reinstated and Unknown World Entertainment gaining publishing rights for Subnautica 2. Gill and co-founders Max McGuire and Charlie Cleveland argued in court that Krafton did this to prevent Unknown Worlds Entertainment from earning a $250 million bonus payout (which activates upon Subnautica 2 achieving certain performance and sales milestones), but that the collection period was extended to September. And, given how well Subnautica 2 has performed in less than 24 hours, it seems very likely the studio will get that bonus. Game Informer will be streaming Subnautica 2 later today, so if you're interested in seeing the game in action, check it out on our Twitch channel later. Are you playing Subnautica 2?

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformNFL Team Reveals Schedule With Halo After Using Minecraft Last Year
It's another year, and that means another hilarious NFL release schedule video from the Los Angeles Chargers based on a video game. This time, the football organization utilized Halo Infinite(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/halo-infinite-multiplayer-review-i-need-a-weapon/1900-6417793/) to reveal its 18-week schedule that begins this September and runs through January 2027. The social media team with the Chargers worked with Xbox to make the video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjP6J-vpbmo)--seen below--in Halo Infinite's Forge mode. In fact, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma responded on X(https://x.com/ashashar/status/2055094797355171918) with three lightning bolt emojis to the Chargers post(https://x.com/chargers/status/2055068428978004027?refsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2055068428978004027%7Ctwgr%5Ec9489edf1dd2192bc38a2cbdea7469d283ddc271%7Ctwcon%5Es1&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Finsider-gaming.com%2Flos-angeles-chargers-use-halo-to-announce-their-schedule%2F), showcasing her support of the creative reveal.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformOnly Three Years Later, A Good Racing Game Is Being Delisted And Shutting Down Servers
It's the end of the road for Lego 2K Drive. Developer Visual Concepts has announced that the game, released in 2023 to good reviews, will be delisted on May 19 with its multiplayer servers going offline on May 31, 2027. After that, "All game functions requiring online servers will no longer function," the developer said. The game's store pages across PC(https://store.steampowered.com/app/1451810/LEGO2KDrive/), PlayStation(https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/lego-2k-drive/), and Xbox(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D225336X1707200%26xs%3D1%26xcust%3Dsubidvalue%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.xbox.com%252Fen-us%252Fgames%252Fstore%252Flego-2k-drive-for-xbox-one%252F9PNH6BGC71FP&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fnews%2F&eventtype=click) disclosed the forthcoming changes, but the eShop page(https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/lego-2k-drive-switch/?srsltid=AfmBOop6tkafdTaIzXBsBWcGwt5UeGCnMUAExxi4Fg6aXa2kpTTS7CT) doesn't mention anything about delisting and server shutdown. Lego 2K Drive was released on May 19, 2023, so the delisting date is exactly three years later. 2K has not disclosed why Lego 2K Drive is being delisted and losing multiplayer support, but some suspect it has to do with licenses and small player populations.

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/subnautica-2-tadpole-pens-entrance-2.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Throughout Subnautica 2(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/subnautica-2), your ever-present AI companion, NoA, will dripfeed you a series of signals to follow, to piece together the mystery of what happened here on Proteus. It won't be long before you're given the quest to "Investigate Tadpole Pens", taking you further to the east than ever before - and into some ragingly high temperatures while you're at it. As you may have discovered, however, just reaching the Tadpole Pens isn't enough. Inside you'll find a locked door which won't open until you have the correct "keycode". This keycode can be found inside the Hot Cave below Tailings Village, not far at all from your current positino. In this quick guide, I'll show you exactly where to go to get the Tadpole Pens keycode in Subnautica 2, and how to use it to Investigate the Tadpole Pens themselves.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCAll barn find locations in Forza Horizon 6
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/forza-horizon-6-barn-find-locations.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Forza Horizon 6's barn finds are hidden cars tucked away in barns (surprise) scattered around Japan, but there's a small catch when it comes to accessing them. Even if you find the barn early, you can't claim the car until you meet certain requirements in your Discover Japan progress. Your Discover progress is separate from your Horizon Festival progress, and it won't increase when you win races or get a new wristband. Instead, you earn points toward new stamps by discovering a set number of roads, smashing mascots, or completing delivery missions and story quests. Barn find cars also have to be restored, which takes a few days of in-game time. In other words, think of barn finds as nice bonuses during your travels around Japan and not something you can quickly get. This guide shows you where to find every barn find location in Forza Horizon 6, what the requirements are for unlocking it, and which car you can expect to find inside. We've arranged it in the order that you unlock the barn finds, and in the images below, the player cursor icon marks the entrance to the access roads that lead you to each barn.

Deciding which car to pick first in Forza Horizon 6(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/forza-horizon-6) feels like a big choice, though it's not quite as momentous as you might think. You get to keep all three cars, so the one you choose is just the one you start driving immediately after the tutorial. However, there is one choice that helps make some of the upcoming festival events a bit easier. In this guide, we give our pick for the best Forza Horizon 6 starter car and why it's worth driving it around a bit before you take it for a spin in ranked races.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, Mobile, VR, PCSlime RNG codes
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/slime-rng-codes.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Slime RNG codes let you claim free Coins and Boosts, which will help you get rare Slimes and unlock new upgrades for your character in the Roblox(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/roblox) game. The experience is an incremental idle-RPG where you amass an army of cute, auto-battling slimes. You'll need to take advantage of the game's RNG mechanics to unlock rarer and more powerful slimes, which will help you battle other enemy slimes in each area of the game's map and progress to the next region. Compared to other RNG games, Slime RNG is quite generous with its rewards and you can quickly get powerful slimes to help you out in battle. But using codes will make things even easier, as you'll unlock freebies like Coins and Boosts that speed up your progress even more. Codes are usually shared on the official Slime RNG Discord server(https://discord.com/invite/aKUe7ngpjd), but to save you time, we've rounded up the latest Slime RNG codes below.

🖥 Xbox, PCSubnautica 2: How to get the Tadpole
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/subnautica-2-tadpole-header.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Anyone who played the first Subnautica(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/subnautica) knows how incredible the feeling was when you constructed your first Seamoth. Well, Subnautica 2(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/subnautica-2) has its own submersible vehicle - the Tadpole. And it's a real game-changer. The Tadpole is a highly customisable personal submarine which allows you to explore so much further, deeper, and faster than you ever could without it. It's also got a number of tricks up its sleeve, including a handrail for friends to hang onto in multiplayer sessions while you pilot it, and a hard point on the back where you can attach a Portable Locker for extra storage space. In this guide, I'll show you how to build a Tadpole from scratch as early as possible in your Subnautica 2 playthrough. I'll walk you through where to find the three closest Tadpole Fragments to your Lifepod, how to build everything you need ahead of time (a Moonpool, Vehicle Fabricator, and Tadpole Dock), and of course I'll explain how to get all the materials you need to craft your very own Tadpole.
