M3GAN was released worldwide in 2023 and featured a familiar robot killer plot with a little twist. The doll, M3GAN, was made by designer Gemma for her tech company. She decided to test the pairing functionality with her niece/adopted daughter, Cady, and things started to go wrong quickly. After getting rid of M3GAN seemingly for good, it appears the sequel had other plans for the murderous doll.

Following its PlayStation 5-exclusive launch in April 2024, Stellar Blade was released for PC in 2025, allowing more players to follow protagonist Eve's journey. The PC version also marked the launch of Stellar Blade mods, which focus on everything from more customization, to performance improvements, to some absolutely NSFW content.With the news that Stellar Blade sold more than 1 million copies in just three days on Steam, modders have been hard at work creating adjustments and tweaks to Shift Up's action RPG, which follows Eve on her mission to save humanity from a war against monsters called Naytiba in the distant future. Here are the best Stellar Blade mods you should install right now. Ultimate Engine TweaksThe Ultimate Engine Tweaks mod by P40L0 addresses performance issues in Unreal Engine, including stuttering, stability, input latency, and picture clarity. The modder's goal was to include as many optimizations as possible in order to remove these issues, without suffering visual losses or introducing glitches or crashes.There are so many improvements that it's hard to list them all in one place, but P40L0 has compiled a useful spreadsheet that details all of the areas that have been adjusted. It's quite the read, but the most important thing to know is that your Stellar Blade experience will be an improved one with this mod installed. Improved Perfect DefenseThe Improved Perfect Defense mod by Andrew Creekmore increases the Perfect Parry and Perfect Dodge windows from nine frames to 12, while decreasing the guard cooldown duration from 24 frames to 21. The guard cooldown duration removes the frustrating buffer between inputs during fights. The window and cooldown time changes are subtle, but make a noticeable difference during combat compared to the vanilla experience. At the same time, the Perfect Parry and Dodge mechanics aren't trivialized, and fights can still be challenging. Eve Eye Color And Makeup CompendiumThe Eve Eye Color And Makeup Compendium mod by Bourbibouze is one of the rare Stellar Blade mods that doesn't focus on Eve's other ... assets. There's an almost unfathomable amount of eye color and makeup options available for Eve now. While it's no secret that the Stellar Blade outfits are one of the standout features of the game, adding further customization options can only be a fun little addition. Stellar Blade Mod ManagerThe Stellar Blade Mod Manager by Huaisha2049 isn't necessarily a mod in its own right, but it is required in order to install most Stellar Blade mods. It also adds the ability to update and download mods online, running them through compatibility tests to automatically detect any potential dependency issues.It'll automatically find the location of your Stellar Blade install and add mods to the corresponding directory. The only limiting factor is that the game cannot be installed in the Chinese directory. Turn On And Off CheatsThe Turn On and Off Cheats mod by ArkhamXxX pretty much does what it says on the tin. The mod allows you to turn on and off certain cheats, including God Mode, infinite Beta energy, infinite Burst energy, infinite jump, 69 Skill Points, and infinite Tachy energy. You can use it in the full version of the game or the demo, and loading into story mode or boss challenges enables the functionality. You can modify the hotkeys used to activate or deactivate each cheat, too. First-PersonThe fairly self-explanatory First-Person mod from MJ allows you to play Stellar Blade from a first-person perspective. That's it. That's the mod. Thomas the Tank Engine as StalkerWe've seen it all before. Your favorite RPG has no doubt had Thomas the Tank Engine modded into it, and this creation by Tenshiken1 replaces Stalker from the boss challenge mode with the menacing engine himself. While the mod has a simple drag-and-drop installation method, the creator notes that it "should" be compatible with other clothing mods for Eve--but if you have issues, change the alphabetical order the mods load in. It's not a guaranteed fix, but has been noted to work. All Outfit UnlocksThe All Outfit Unlocks mod from Prophe33 gives you a save file with all outfits unlocked. You'll no longer have to grind for your favorite fashion for Eve, and can even jump straight into New Game Plus if you'd like. Faster FishingThe Faster Fishing mod from T4ke respects your time. After all, who has a moment to waste in a post-apocalyptic world? This mod speeds up fishing by up to 10 times the original speed. It's also customizable to twice as fast, or four times as fast. Blood Edge Weapon RecolorsThere are many, many, many aesthetic customization options for Eve, some of them less savory than others. One that's definitely safe and adds new levels of customization is this Blood Edge Weapon Recolors mod by NimbusNathan. The Blood Edge Sword and hair pin get more color options to match her nanosuits. It's a simple drag-and-drop installation, too, so you can soon enjoy the extra personalization.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a bigger game than its predecessor in almost every conceivable way. There are two areas of the world to explore between Mexico and Australia, more characters, stranger weapons and vehicles, and the list goes on. Hideo Kojima and his team put a lot of work into this sequel. Like the original, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach offers players a way to connect with others online.

But some of the confirmed returning players include Cal Ripken, Jr., Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter.In partnership with Major League Baseball, Backyard Baseball '01 will feature logos from MLB's professional teams in addition to the players representing the league.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach players have found a stunning Ghost of Yotei Easter egg during gameplay, which gives Sam Porter Bridges a fantastic cosmetic to don. Death Stranding 2 was written, produced, and directed by the legendary Hideo Kojima, and the plot is set 11 months after the events of the first, post-apocalyptic game. Players return to pilot freelance porter, Sam, across Australia in a bid to locate survivors and save humanity.

There are a lot of things for players to find in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, but a few fans have already discovered an issue that appears to be overheating some PlayStation 5 consoles.Players on Reddit (via Push Square) have shared multiple accounts of Death Stranding 2 apparently causing PlayStation 5s to overheat when the map menu is called up on-screen. Fans have reported that the map causes the PS5 fan to loudly go into overdrive before they receive an overheating warning from the console itself.The working theory among players is that the map menu is running with an unlocked frame rate, which may be causing the PS5's overheating issue. So far, no one has reported the same issue on PS5 Pro, but at least one user shared a video on YouTube that demonstrates the map menu's effect on their PS5 multiple times. Presumably this issue can be addressed in an update from Kojima Productions once it becomes aware of the problem.Continue Reading at GameSpot

In the wild new world of TV satire, no show has turned the celebrity cameo into a rollercoaster quite like The Studio. This Apple TV+ hit, masterminded by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, doesn’t just sprinkle in big names for a ratings boost—it throws A-listers headlong into absurdity, letting them roast, unravel, and sometimes totally reinvent their public personas. At the center of the chaos is Matt Remick (Seth Rogen), the hapless but hopeful studio boss, juggling the impossible: keeping the corporate overlords happy while chasing cinematic greatness.
