Here's Why Bungie's Extraction Shooter Marathon Won't Be Free To PlayBungie's upcoming team-based extraction shooter, Marathon, has received a five-minute gameplay review trailer that offers fans and potential buyers a deep look at its core mechanics and concepts. However, one factor that might influence players' decisions about whether to purchase it is the price, which remains a mystery for now.@MarathonTheGame would be a "premium product" but not a "full-priced title," which is what the official Twitter account has to say about pricing. In the latest episode of The Friends Per Second Podcast, Game Director Joe Ziegler shed light on the decision why Marathon wouldn't be a free-to-play title (starting around the 31-minute mark)."We're hoping or we are aspiring that what we’re showing is exciting enough that someone is going to take the leap with us, but we are also committed to delivering on seasons past this that will continuously offer to evolve the game without an increase to the box price," Ziegler said.The team, which is passionate about the genre, has been focusing on the commitment "to making this a game that's really awesome" and they feel that the "starting point is really strong at this current time." He went on and concluded, "everyone's got their own definition of what is the right price ... we're hoping that we hit the right price that makes you feel it's worth your value."An earlier rumor said it'd be priced at $40, the same price as the now-defunct Concord. But we may have to wait until this summer, when developers are ready to share more details, to learn the cost of entering this extraction shooter.What is the price that you're willing to pay to try this game? Let us know.

PS6 Portable Has a 15W 3nm SoC, Runs PS5 Games in Lower Resolution – Rumor The handheld's performance is allegedly "somewhere between Xbox Series S and PS5" and "tapes out" a few months after the regular PS6 SoC. Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 16th, Apr. 2025 The PS5 Pro, Sony’s mid-gen refresh for its multi-million-selling ninth-generation console, isn’t even a year old, and rumors have circulated about the PlayStation 6. Kepler, who correctly leaked details about the Pro’s usage of unreleased RDNA 4 features, revealed in September 2024 that the PS6 would have two SoCs. It’s assumed that one would be a portable handheld, and evidence is seemingly mounting about its performance. Regarding whether it would be as powerful as a PS5 if launched by 2028, Kepler recently responded on NeoGAF, “No, it’s a 15W SoC on 3nm.” Naturally, this resulted in several follow-up questions, including the point of the console if it can’t run PS5 games. The leaker clarified that it definitely can, but “not at the same resolution/FPS, mainly due to lower memory bandwidth.” When asked if the performance is between the PS4 Pro and PS5, the leaker responded, “Hard to estimate performance since it’s using an unreleased GPU uarch, but I think it’s somewhere between Xbox Series S and PS5.” Interestingly, the alleged handheld “tapes out” a few months after the regular PS6’s SoC. However, Sony isn’t repurposing existing PS6 chips for the handheld by having less usable CUs. “They’re different SoCs,” said Kepler and the portable is “specially designed to run at very, very low voltages.” They clarified that its CUs are a “lot less than 40” and that it’s a “different SoC” despite sharing “a few things with Soundwave.” Sony hasn’t provided a timeline for the PS6’s launch, though Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino has indicated that it won’t be affected by the PS5’s lifecycle.

With just seven days to go in an abbreviated two-week campaign, Steamforged has more than met its goal for Helldivers 2: The Board Game. At time of writing the campaign for the one-to-four-player tactical action game has achieved more than 2,000% of its stated goal, strolling in at the equivalent of $1.6 million. Delivery is promised some time in 2026. But look closely and you’ll see something new in the world of pre-ordering boxes of plastic and cardboard — a note of warning about the Trump administration’s new tariffs on imported goods.If you’ve backed a crowdfunding campaign before, you’re likely familiar with the now standard statement on risks and challenges. Steamforged’s entry here is fairly light, with a note about how they soldiered on for years now, through the pandemic and other pitfalls, to deliver what they promised and then some to their backers. Below that you’ve got a note on refunds and cancellations. Steamforged has opted into Gamefound’s Stable Pledge program, which in its own words “guarantees a full refund to backers if the change in any price estimates after the campaign’s end is bigger than 10%.” You can read more about this novel part of the Gamefound ecosystem at their website.Scroll up a bit and you’ll also find a lengthy section on shipping, which lists notes about all the countries where this British company is willing to send its wares. It’s a massive list, with around 60 different countries where the game can be delivered. For a crowdfunding campaign for a game that hasn’t even been completely finished yet, and which is due to ship no later than next year, that’s a massive commitment. It speaks to the company’s experience with logistics as well. They’ve done this before, and they’ll likely do it again.But then there’s the paragraph that comes immediately below that:With the current uncertainty around US tariffs, there’s no way to fully predict what the situation will be when this game ships in late 2026. Right now, we can’t be certain US tariffs will be covered by our customs-free goal. However, we always strive to do what’s best for our backers. We’ve been covering all duties for the campaigns we’re currently fulfilling, and we’ll continue to assess projects on a case-by-case basis.This is the opposite of a promise. It is, in fact, a warning that the current administration is behaving in unpredictable ways, ways that are counter to established practices that have been in place in the board game world for decades. President Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs, which are a tax on imported goods, could potentially raise the cost of imported board games, too — potentially including Helldivers 2: The Board Game — by more than 100% of their retail value. And if it does, you the consumer may be called upon to pay some of that difference. Or, perhaps, all of that difference.Don’t get it twisted: I’m not pointing a finger of blame at Steamforged here. Far from it. In fact, I think this is an excellent and just statement of fact, one that gives fair warning to would-be consumers and collaborators on an already exciting project. Nevertheless, for U.S.-based consumers this is the new reality that we live in. Get ready to read your crowdfunding campaigns a lot more closely going forward.See More:

Strong as South of Midnight's story is, reading every note along the way really does add to the storytelling in a special way. Which is why you'll want to read them all, even if you're just trying to find them for the achievement. These guides will tell you where to find every note in the game, all 103 of them, across South of Midnight's 14 chapters. South of Midnight - Where To Find All Notes - Chapter 5 If you've been following along with the rest of these guides, then you'll recognize that Chapter 5 has more notes than any level so far. Here's where to grab all 11 of Chapter 5's notes. Burrower's Pieces of the Self—The first note of the chapter is found right after you've found Crouton, in the hollow tree immediately next to where you'll send Crouton to do away with the stigma. Statue Flyer - After continuing further into the level, and completing the first combat encounter (which will also show you the first memory), you'll find this note on a broken fence post, just below the giant Auntie Belle's sign and statue. Burrower's - Iron - You'll find this note just in front of Jolene's church, after the cutscene with Ms. Pearle and Jolene. It will be on top of a box that's next to the fence, which will be immediately to your right once the cutscene ends. Hollow Dreamers - After grabbing the last note, follow the path the strands layout for you across the water towards a house that's covered in vines. The note will be on a couch that sits on the porch of the house. Kids Need a Hand - After fighting your first Slug Haint (the big round enemy that digs underground) and seeing the second memory for the chapter, you'll find this note inside the house that'll be right in front of you, and on the table to your left when you walk through the door. Jo's Penance - Before leaving the house, walk up the stairs to the second floor, and head to the room at the end of the hall, which will also be the only room left open for you to walk into. You'll find this note on a desk with a guitar leaning against it. Yard Sale Notice - This note is a little further into the level, and you won't be able to get to it until you've reached Swopes Farm. To reach it, you'll first have to use an echo box to climb a high tower where you'll find a Floof knot. From this vantage, you'll also be able to see over a tall stack of hay bales. Jump over the hay bales to the other side, and turn left towards a trailer, then right towards a small cabin. You'll find this note resting on a folding chair. Honor thy Father and Mother - Once you're back to where you climbed the high tower, head towards the big house on your right. The door will open when you get close, and you'll find this note in what looks like the family room immediately to your right when you walk in. A Bashful Farmhand in the Setting Sun - Before leaving the house, head up to the second floor, where you'll find a Floof knot in one room, and this note on a desk next to a typewriter in the other. The Pigs are a Loss - When you make it to the Pig Factory, inside the factory you'll enter a room with a Floof knot on top of a container to your left. The note, on the other hand, is on ground level, sitting on a table immediately to the right of the door. Sutter's Will and Testament - After the Two-Toed Tom boss fight, and after you've been swallowed up by the giant gator, you'll find this note once you've made it to the other side of the pool the squealing pig from earlier is swimming in. It's on the wooden floor, next to a lamp. That's all 11 notes in South of Midnight's Chapter 5. If you've been following along with these guides, then you'll have acquired 28 out of 103 now. Only 75 more to go. Products mentioned South of Midnight USD 12.99 Buy from Amazon Deal of the Day
