Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is almost here, and players are too excited to wait any longer. Thankfully, if you have an extra email you won’t need to wait as long as everyone else. We’re going to Journey through Midgar and figure out how to play Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth early.

Rejoice, Elden Ring fans, as the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion now has a nailed-down release date of June 21. What's better than that? Well, a discount on DLC of course. It's currently priced at $39.99 MSRP, sparking speculation that this could truly be a massive offering for fans. But, if you're on PC, we highly recommend picking up Shadow of the Erdtree from Green Man Gaming, a trusted online PC code merchant who currently has the DLC listed for $35.19 instead (see here) / £30.79 in the UK.

If you head over to eBay and use the promo code LEAP20 you can currently bag yourself a Steam Deck (256GB model) for £314.95 from verified seller The Game Collection Outlet (we've recommended them many times). This is a significant saving compared to the current RRP of £349 -- with the notable improvement that the model is actually in stock from TGC versus being unavailable directly from Steam.

February 26th’s answer is not the easiest to solve, and it could cause some players to lose their daily streaks if they aren’t careful. While there isn’t a repeating letter in the answer, the placement of the two vowels could cause some trouble. But if players have a sound strategy and use some relevant hints when needed, they could solve the answer in less than six attempts.

Like any other consoles, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S aren’t without issues. Even after several years on the market giving Microsoft time to push out updates and fixes, there are still some issues that can crop up.

Monster Hunter Stories is finally escaping the Nintendo 3DS and mobile platforms thanks to a remaster coming to PS4, Switch, and PC this summer. Now feels like an even better time to recommend this monster taming RPG, and not just because of the retouched graphics or added voice acting.

Listen! You hear that? The guns have stopped. The shells aren’t falling. There’s not a grenade explosion to be heard! Sadly this isn’t the beginning of a new era of world peace, but rather the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIservers going down. This is, to say the least, something of a big deal in gaming. Each year’s Call of Duty sells like gangbusters and even the infamously lackluster Modern Warfare III campaign hasn’t stopped tens of millions of gamers swarming to its online modes.

I've had my hands on plenty of gaming laptops over the year, but there's one model I always look forward to getting on the test bench. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has always been a thing of beauty, but it's looking just that little bit prettier today. 

The world wasn’t ready for Tenetwhen it was originally released in 2020. That’s both literally true — it was the middle of the pandemic — and spiritually true, because people were still so hung up on the idea of Christopher Nolan as a puzzle-box filmmaker who wanted his movies solved. But now that people are starting to head back to theaters, and Oppenheimerhas clued audiences in to Nolan’s earnestness, maybe it’s finally time to appreciate Tenet for the vibey friendship-movie masterpiece it is. With the movieheading back into theaters on Feb. 23 for a one-week revival, there’s no better time for the reevaluation to begin.

Best Buy just slashed the prices of dozens of PlayStation 5 games — you wouldn’t want to miss these discounts if you’re looking for your next title to play, or if you just want to keep adding games to your collection. However, similar to most PS5 deals, we don’t expect these offers to last long. If you see a PS5 game that you like among the ones we’ve highlighted below, or by browsing through all the available bargains yourself, it’s highly recommended that you push through with the transaction immediately if you want to make sure that you get it for cheaper than usual.

Sons of the Forest 1.0 is here, and it’s launched with a plethora of new features and improvements. However, while the full release is compatible with early-access saves, developer Endnight Games has recommended that some may want to start fresh for the full new experience.

In the U.S., Google's main app to manage finances and pay contactless is Google Pay and not Google Wallet. It always struck me as an odd choice because the rest of the world is using Google Wallet, but not the people in the U.S. Well, that is going to change soon as the company has announced the transition.

We love movie recommendations here at Polygon. Whether it’s horror, sci-fi, action, comedy, thrillers, or just the best of the year, we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting movies they’ll love. But now we want to find the perfect movie for you. (That’s you.)

UPDATE: Arrowhead has said it has squished the PS5 login bug, which should mean console players can play Helldivers 2 again following this morning's patch. The studio recommended PS5 players reboot their consoles, which should "hopefully" let them continue playing.

A new Helldivers 2 patch is now live on PC and PlayStation 5, addressing a major issue that made the game's current server woes even worse.

February 22nd’s answer is not the hardest to solve if you stick to using starting words that feature multiple vowels. The answer contains two vowels, and finding their correct positions can make all the difference in solving today’s answer. But if you get carried away by using random guesses, you might face difficulty later on. For such situations, it is recommended to use hints or an alternate mode.

Artificial intelligence experts and industry executives, including one of the technology's trailblazers Yoshua Bengio, have signed an open letter calling for more regulation around the creation of deepfakes, citing potential risks to society. 

Ever since the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movies were announced, two-part films have been a scourge on blockbuster cinema. At their best, they’ve often felt like hollow attempts to stretch lucrative material into something even more profitable. At worst, they’ve felt like two incomplete halves that make up a disappointing whole. But Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Dune feels like a special exception. The first movie, publicly billed as Dune and revealed as Dune: Part One only in the credits, handled the world-building and all the expositional heavy lifting. It all came with the understanding that the conclusion could be an all-killer, no-filler science fiction epic. And that’s exactly what Dune: Part Two delivers.

Have you heard of critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14? Of course you have! Maybe you’re interested and you want to dip your toes in the extremely popular online game (especially now that it’s out on Xbox) and you don’t know where to even begin.

Xbox games Pentiment and Grounded are confirmed as coming to Nintendo Switch.

February 21st’s answer isn’t particularly hard to guess, even though the answer has multiple vowels. The key to solving today’s answer will require you to find the correct positions of the two vowels in the middle. However, once you have found them, you will still need to find the rest of the letters before you run out of attempts. While using your regular starting words could work, you might need to use a different mode if you get carried away with random words.

Quordle today: Quordle is difficult to crack on most days due to various factors. For starters, players need to guess four 5-letter words. Moreover, unlike traditional crossword puzzles, they do not have access to any hints or clues, making it even more challenging. Since players only have a limited number of tries to guess the correct letter, and the word subsequently, taking random guesses isn't an ideal way of playing Quordle.  The game largely depends upon your vocabulary. So, if you're a regular Quordle player, then the answers might easily come to you. But there are some days on which even seasoned Quordle players are left scratching their heads. 

I have my usual eclectic list of bargain games worth buying today. That said, here's a personal recommendation for you: become a bounty hunter in Huntdown and make a healthy living (by making living unhealthy). In the same side-scrolling, hyper-violent, and co-optastic vein, Broforce is going for cheap, too. Spectacular '80s action movie vibes for both games, much like the reduced RoboCop: Rogue City on offer.

Ys X: Nordics, the tenth main entry in the long-running action role-playing game series by Falcom, is launching in North America and Europe later this year.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and just in case that comes as a surprise, we’re here to help. Even if you won’t get them in time for Valentine’s Day, building any of Lego’s floral bouquets is the ideal way to spend an afternoon with your Valentine. These arrangements look amazing, are always fresh, and are even made from recycled plants. Each stem can even be “trimmed” to provide the perfect fit for any vase.

After upgrading with gaming PC deals, your next purchase should be on a gaming monitor so that you don’t waste your computer’s capabilities on an outdated screen. You don’t need to shell out hundreds of dollars though, as there are offers for high-quality but affordable displays like Walmart’s $140 discount for the 32-inch LG UltraGear QHD gaming monitor. From its original price of $349, it’s down to just $209, but probably not for long so you’ll have to complete your transaction for it as soon as possible if you want the savings.

While the PS5 does indeed have Bluetooth built-in, there is little native support for headphones or other audio products; Bluetooth on the PS5 has been included primarily for connecting wireless keyboards and mice, as well as approved Sony products. Don’t fret, though: there is a way to connect your headset to your game console, and it’s relatively easy—assuming you’re willing to buy a Bluetooth transmitter.

If you’re searching for gaming headset deals, it will be tough to find a better offer right now than this 66% discount from Amazon’s Woot for the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal. From its original price of $499, it’s down to $170 — a very affordable price for a gaming headset that’s made by one of the most recognizable names in the audio industry. There’s apparently still some time before the $329 in savings get taken down, but it’s highly recommended that you proceed with the purchase as soon as possible because we’re not sure if stocks will last until the end of the sale.

The eradication of ghosts and demons is a classic plot foundation. From Ghostbusters to The Exorcist, stories about heroes who rid people or places of spooks provide a strong canvas for a range of human experiences. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is not only a good example of this genre, but one of the best-written, most visually intriguing and impactful I’ve ever encountered.

Well, it's the same thing we’d all recommend, I guess: stealth archer.

In the world of Pokémon, as in life, beauty is only skin deep.

Much like the previous weekend, February 11th’s answer also features a repeating letter that could cause many players to waste their attempts on random guesses if they aren’t careful. The answer is quite commonly used in daily conversation, but since the game doesn’t offer any specific hints for repeating letters, you might lose your daily streak reasonably quickly. However, if you use a different mode, you might be able to prevent that.

Instagram users will no longer be bombarded with unwanted political content on their feed.
