Helldivers 2 leads strong month for European game sales in February

Helldivers 2's ongoing Major Order has commanded soldiers to finally squash the mechanized Automatons on the western front, but unfortunately, frequent crashes threaten to jeopardize the weekend's operation, and one developer recommends letting the game "rest." 

Walmart+ has some good news for Xbox gamers looking for the latest deals for Xbox Game Pass. Members of Walmart+ can receive codes for the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship gaming subscription service, Game Pass Ultimate, at no additional cost. However, there's a catch.

Microsoft has kicked off Xbox’s Spring Sale.

Xbox Game Pass has confirmed all the games leaving the service on April 15, and unfortunately for fans of the genre, multiple horror games are on the chopping block. Games are removed from Xbox Game Pass every couple of weeks or so, with the departure announcements often coupled with the Wave 1 and Wave 2 new addition reveals to help soften the blow for subscribers.

While Xbox Game Pass is expanding with several new titles in April, the month is also a sad occasion for horror fans as several spooky games are set to leave the service. As Microsoft continues to support its subscription model with new additions every month, making room for some of the latest releases requires that older games be removed. It's all part of the Game Pass cycle but fortunately, enthusiasts for all things scary still have some time to check some of the best horror games ever made.

Relic Entertainment has said it will continue supporting its existing games following the news that it’s to be sold by current owner Sega.

The constant battle to spread Managed Democracy in Helldivers 2 can be hard to keep up with at times. While the ever-evolving fight and story is a huge part of what makes Arrowhead's third-person shooter so damn good, I'm sure many of us would be hard-pressed to recall exactly what happened on each planet every day. 

Here’s an odd one: the developer of Helldivers 2 has warned players against having snowball fights because they’re causing the game to crash.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched PlayStation Store’s Spring Sale.

Earlier this month, the world lost a one-of-a-kind creative talent with the news of Akira Toriyama’s passing. While Dragon Ball will always be Toriyama-sensei’s best-known work, he leaves behind a legacy full of many other imaginative worlds across games, anime, and manga. Before leaving us, he worked with Bandai Namco to flesh out one of his short manga creations further: Sand Land. Alongside a new anime series, Toriyama-sensei gave input on a videogame adaptation of Sand Land that would allow players to explore this unique world for themselves.

A Helldivers 2 player by the in-game name of OkamiCheems sadly passed away earlier this month, as their friend Fine-Clothes-1209 recently informed the game's Reddit community, and has been sent off by tens of thousands of like-minded democracy enthusiasts in a bittersweet display of community support. 

Helldivers 2 players have been issued a brand new Major Order, and it seems it's taking direct aim at all of the dedicated bug-squashing fans who aren't so enthusiastic about spilling oil from the deadly Automatons.
