Enters beta on Steam on March 6th Starfield’s next update will arrive in beta on March 6th, bringing another suite of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. Top of the list of tweaks is the ability to change player character and companion facial expressions during photo mode, like running your family snaps through FaceApp to create the illusion everyone had fun on their holiday to the Bonneville salt flats. You could also make you and your companions frown, sneer or gurn, of course....

It adds two new characters, four new weapons Vampire Survivorsreceived yet another update this past week. The Space-54 update adds two new characters, four new weapons, a new relic, and a new bonus stage. It also introduces cross-save support between Steam and Android to the Steam public beta branch. It seems that almost any new addition to Vampire Survivors is a potential spoiler to some, but I will dare to add the additional detail that the Space-54 update is dedicated to the game’s former engine, Phaser....

A brutal and hilariously sudden end....

Scammer stratagem It’s a tale as old as time: when a great, popular game rises to the top of the Steam charts, scammers and chancers will do everything in their power to steal some of that glory for themselves. The latest victim isHelldivers 2, with scammers putting up two separate fake pages for it on Steam over the last 24 hours. Each page listed Arrowhead as the developer, and PlayStation as the publisher, along with big discounts of 50-75% off to tempt players into buying the cheap version instead of the real one....

Employees awaiting more information to come this month It’s looking increasingly likely that Gearbox Entertainment is going to be sold by Embracer. In a town hall with staff earlier this week, CEO and co-founder Randy Pitchford reportedly told staff that a decision had been made regarding the studio’s future, with more details to be shared in March. “I’m delighted that what we might be up to is interesting enough to people that you want to make a story about us for your readers,” wrote Randy “Medieval Times” Pitchfordin a statement to Kotaku, who first reported the town hall....

Good for them, but maybe too late for some. Earlier this month,the San Francisco Chroniclereported that it seemed Activision Blizzard were closing Toys For Bob’s California headquarters and laying off 86 people....

Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment are finally making this dream a reality withStar Wars Outlaws, though they’re leaving the wizards out, since the upcoming game puts players in the role of a lovable Han Solo-style rogue rather than a Jedi....

Players can now make survival levels In an unexpected twist, a large amount of my time is now spent playingFall Guys, the rubberised, free-to-play competitive bean racing game. I am therefore well equipped to tell you about its Survival Update, released this week, which adds new levels, new powerups and makes it possible to create survival rounds via the in-game level editor. The new powerups are interesting, at least in theory: one lets you turn invisible, the other allows you toss a rhino-shaped explosive on wheels....

The ‘tides of March Hope everyone enjoyed theRPS Game Clubreturning withCobalt Core, though personally, I’ve always found deckbuilders a bit short on the screaming slaughter of unclean heretics. Put down the cards and pick up a boltgun, then, as this month’s Game Club pledges eternal service (until April) toWarhammer 40,000: Darktide. These additions and tweaks were not just welcome, but arguably necessary. I liked Darktide on launch, but in hindsight it was just apretty good Left 4 Deadlikewith a rubbish, overly randomised gear system....
