<![CDATA[The Finals Dev Comments on Cheater Problem, Reveals Fix Coming Soon]]> The Finals developer Embark Studios has commented on the recent cheating issues that have been plaguing the new free-to-play shooter and promises that a fix is on the way. In the past few days, the problem has reached a boiling point in the community as fans have even asked The Finals devs to region-lock China since many of the reported cheaters have been using Mandarin names. Of course, this proposed solution isn't one the team at Embark Studios is likely to move forward with, as The Finals' community manager explained that many of these players aren't actually Chinese; rather, these players use Mandarin names so they will be more difficult to report.

<![CDATA[Starfield Player Shows Off Impressive Outpost Build]]> Thanks to no small amount of effort, a Starfield player managed to assemble an impressive outpost after 330 hours of playtime.

From making original concepts to recreating their favorite starships, Starfield players sunk countless hours into the feature, and while the outpost system isn't as refined by comparison, it still managed to attract the same kind of creativity.

<![CDATA[There Are Two Clear Contenders For Overwatch 2’s Video Game Crossover]]> Thus far, Overwatch 2 has experienced tremendous success with its collaborations. First, there was One-Punch Man, which came with some immensely popular skins for Kiriko, Soldier: 76, Genji, and Doomfist, as well as a charming trailer and menu screen inspired by the anime.
