The Final Fantasy 14 team has gone the extra mile to make sure the recent Fall Guys collaboration makes sense in the world of Eorzea, which is a lovely touch until you realize some of the unhinged lore the MMO now has as a result.

The Fall Guys and Final Fantasy XIV crossover is finally happening as part of the MMORPG’s Patch 6.51, launching October 31. Players can participate in obstacle courses inspired by the free-to-play title within the Golden Saucer casino/theme park.
Initially announced in July, the crossover teased FFXIV characters crossing a bright obstacle course. Fall Guys, meanwhile was receiving skins from the critically acclaimed MMORPG. Outside the stills shown within the teaser, the details are light on the FFXIV side. That is still the case since the blog post announcing the patch tells fans to stay tuned for more details.
As of now, the crossover’s webpage is also giving the same instructions, so hopefully, more details arrive soon. Based on the images shown, players will race others while avoiding various dangers and collaborate with others to collect gems. The Fall Guys influence is evident here, but the events have details from Final Fantasy titles.
The event tonally fits with what the Golden Saucer goes for, which is grand and extravagant fun for any attendees. In my experience playing Final Fantasy XIV, chucking players into an arena with dozens of others is something the casino would do. Plus Fall Guys is the perfect game to collaborate with on this event given that it’s that title’s premise.
It’s unknown how long this event will go on, especially since the FFXIV skins in Fall Guys are no longer available. Hopefully, the courses live up to their potential enough for fans to sink more hours earning prizes in the casino.

Final Fantasy 14's Fall Guys event is, uh, a crossover that exists in a game. I've already made my feelings clear on the disturbing bisected Fall Guys hat, but it's also got some pretty weird netcode wonkiness.
Starfield is getting Nvidia DLSS support at long last in a test update next week that'll fully launch on Xbox and PC shortly after.
When Bethesda announced back in June that it was partnering with AMD on Starfield, eager fans were not happy. There was almost immediate speculation that the deal meant Starfield would launch without support for Nvidia's DLSS tech—and for once, the internet was right. Modders brought DLSS and frame generation to Starfield in relatively short order, and Bethesda eventually promised that official support—which quite frankly is the kind of support I want when it comes to under-the-hood technomagic—was on the way, although no time frame was provided.
Nvidia DLSS support with frame generation will be added to the PC version of Starfield next week via a Steam Beta update.
Final Fantasy 14 and Fall Guys are two of the least compatible titles you could pick for potential crossovers, but director Naoki Yoshida has somehow managed it. Head on over to The Gold Saucer between now and the end of the year, and you'll be able to take on various obstacle courses inspired by Fall Guys, all in an effort to win crowns and grab yourself some limited-time Fall Guys-themed rewards.
