Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero release time for early access – the countdown to the new fighting game is on

With the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero release time for early access buyers under 24 hours away, the countdown to the new beat ’em up is well and truly on.The new fighting game will be released on October 11, but the good news is that you can play it three days earlier. Getting a hold of that isn’t too difficult, either, as all you have to do is pre-order the game’s standard, deluxe, or ultimate editions to get early access.And if our Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero review is anything to go, many will be lining up to jump in at launch to do just that, as it has what it takes to reinvigorate anime arena fighters (even if it does lack the depth of some of its contemporaries).”Camera gripes notwithstanding, Sparking Zero is poised to not only be a Dragon Ball game for the ages, but a paradigm shift in how far the subgenre of games can go beyond run-of-the-mill arena fighters that lose steam in a single session,” we said.Just be careful when you look around online. While Bandai Namco is downing lea…

Starfield Shattered Space doesn’t always play to Bethesda’s strengths, but two small side quests did

When it comes to Bethesda’s RPGs, it’s often the smaller side quests that tend to stick with me the most. Perhaps it’s because of the way you can organically come across them; making it feel like a discovery you chanced upon rather than a quest leading you down a set path. Or maybe it’s because they explore shorter, compact stories that catch you by surprise, but in the likes of both Skyrim, Fallout, and even Oblivion, the side quests are often far more memorable than the main story. For me, much the same can be said for Starfield Shattered Space. The first Starfield expansion introduces a new planet, and brings us closer to the most elusive faction in the Settled Systems. While I was excited to at last learn more about House Va’ruun and see the homeworld for myself, the highlight of my experience once again ended up being some smaller side quests that took me away from the core storyline.  Brothers divided   As I detailed in my Starfield Shattered Space review, I …

Is Palworld crossplay or cross-platform?

Palworld crossplay has been one of the most requested features since the game’s launch, and while it’s not in the game yet, Pocketpair are working on it. The game’s base-building and Pal-collecting mechanics mean it’s nicely geared towards being a highly social game, and while you can play Palworld with other players, you’re limited to those on the same platform or version of the game as you for now. So, we’ve laid out the details on Palworld’s crossplay capabilities below and whether they’re liable to change in updates to come.Does Palworld have crossplay and cross platform?No, Palworld does not have crossplay or cross-platform functionality between Steam, Xbox, or PS5. Although, there is crossplay for Xbox players and PC players that have Palworld because they bought it on the Microsoft Store or have a PC Game Pass subscription – the Xbox and PC Microsoft Store/Game Pass versions are effectively the same version of the game, hence why they are compatible but the Steam version is not.…
