👁Major Megabonk update Originally planned for fall, the developer has announced that work is still ongoing — the scope of changes turned out to be way bigger than expected. The headline feature is a new map with its own unique mechanics and quirks, plus multiplayer, additional maps, items, and characters.
🕹️ Technical maintenance Over the past few weeks, many of you have noticed that some of the data in the app looked... strange, to say the least. Thank you for your patience while we dug to the bottom of this. Here is a complete and honest update: ➡️ What happened The first reports of missing data began to come in on November 5–6. During our investigation, we found the root cause — a database failure on approximately October 23. At the same time, several background services “quietly crashed,” causing the data to be displayed incorrectly. ➡️ What was broken The system failure affected: • GAMED Points • GIGI Index • Referrals and friends • Task progress • Key balance • Platform connection • Purchases on certain screens 🔩 What has already been fixed As of November 19, the following have been fully restored and are working stably: • GIGI Index • Platform connections • Purchases We are currently validating and restoring critical data. ➡️ Full recovery plan We have a stable backup from October 3, which we will use to perform a full recovery. No data will be lost. Next steps: 🟠Restoring balances based on the October 3 snapshot 🟠Accruing all keys and subscriptions based on transaction logs (purchased after October 3) 🟠Accruing compensation for the period of unavailability or incorrect operation of services 🟠Multi-level data verification and correction of errors that led to infrastructure damage 📌 Compensations All affected users will be credited with GAMED-points to compensate for what could have been farmed during the days when the application was malfunctioning. We are finalizing the formula and will reveal the exact figures next week. Plus, we are preparing a couple more pleasant surprises from the devs as a sincere “sorry for letting you down.” ➡️ Our commitment This transition is part of a major move from MVP architecture to a powerful high-scale platform. While we were laying the foundation for the future, we really failed to communicate properly. This is entirely our fault, and we will fix it. More transparency, faster news, no more “silence on the air.” Thank you for your patience, support, and for being with us.
👁🖤 Black Friday on Steam! From November 25 to December 1, 2025, Steam is holding its Autumn Sale. Discounts up to 85% on the best games across all genres - from adventures and RPGs to strategies and simulators.
😁 New week - new freebie from Epic 😁 This week Epic Games Store is giving away... it's even scary to say — a furry card roguelike Zoeti It's a turn-based roguelike game where you'll have to fight battles using a deck of cards, building card combinations and activating skills, finding upgrades, destroying monsters in a fantasy world and getting help from various characters, but all of this is negated because - furry. You can grab it via mobile EGS on Android and iOS
👁What to play on the weekends? For instance, the GAMED writer made a fateful decision to lose himself in Arc Raiders over the weekend, while mixing it up with some indie fare (Beholder 3 just dropped, gotta give it a spin) Felt like trying out the Escape from Tarkov update, but even streams make it feel stuffy and suffocating, so the pick ended up being Roblox
Alpha sign-ups for PUBG: Black Budget are now open As funny as it might sound, this is a battle royale-extraction shooter hybrid... You can request access via the link:

🪙 LEAK: Hatsune Miku may become one of the new outfits in Fortnite Battle Royale… Today she, along with the theme of the upcoming season, was discovered in the game’s files. The new season will feature a Hollywood theme. As an interesting detail, the premiere was even attended by Quentin Tarantino, whose movie "Kill Bill" will be collaborating with Fortnite.
☠️ Freedom in Roblox is OVER ❗️❗️ Roblox is introducing age verification and splitting players into age categories. To confirm your age, you’ll have to go through facial scanning. On top of that, gamers will be divided into different age groups so that younger players don’t interact with older ones. There will be categories: 9 – 12 years, 13 – 15 years, and 16+. At the same time, children under 9 years old will have chat completely disabled unless a trusted adult (verifier/parent) grants permission.
💙 XBOX PARTNER PREVIEW — November 20th 💛 Tomorrow, Microsoft is hosting a small, but quite juicy presentation. It airs on November 20th. The duration will be approximately 30-35 minutes, featuring about twelve trailers. What is confirmed to be shown (confirmed by Microsoft): • 007 First Light - A new James Bond game in the spirit of Hitman. • Tides of Annihilation - A dark fantasy action-adventure. • Reanimal - A co-op survival horror game starring little animals. Purely based on rumors, they might finally announce the Xbox release date for the Silent Hill 2 Remake, but that's not confirmed.
🎉 The Game Award 2025 nominees are announced! 🎉 This year's absolute record holder is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – it grabbed 12 nominations, which, hold on a second, is more than any game in TGA history. Many are already calling it the Game of the Year winner. So, the nominees for Game of the Year 2025: • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (fair enough) • Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (meh...) • Donkey Kong Bananza (what even is this) • Hades II (yeah, whatever) • Hollow Knight: Silksong (delete this from the internet) • Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (fair enough) The ceremony will be held on December 12th.
💢 Half-Life 3 confirmed... According to insiders, today could've been historic. November 18 - half the internet sat with popcorn, as everyone somehow decided Valve would present the third Half-Life today. There were no prerequisites. No hints from Valve. No proof. In the end, the insiders logged off into the sunset.
👁👁 Escape from Tarkov: Hype Train or Derailment? As you may know, November 15th marked the release of Tarkov on Steam alongside the launch of Version 1.0. However, the game immediately hit massive turbulence. Let’s break down exactly what went wrong and why gamers are currently less than thrilled. 💀 Connection Catastrophe. Huge connection error rates. Astronomical queues. Getting perpetually stuck on the loading screen. 💀 The Ban-demic. The banning system is descending into pure, unreal performance art. They are banning everyone: newcomers, cheaters, non-cheaters, those simply connecting to the lobby, AND EVEN THOSE who dared to file a Steam refund (yes, players disappointed with the title are being IP-banned). 💀 Server Instability. Constant crashes and disconnects. The game frequently loses server connection, or sometimes fails to locate them entirely. 💀 Feature Cuts and Cost Hikes. Several quests have been removed. Repair and insurance costs are now steeper. Loading screens have somehow managed to become even more protracted. 💀 And finally, the ultimate kicker: If you already own the Standard Edition of Tarkov, you are required to purchase the game again just to access it via Steam.
⚡ Maintenance is still in progress ⚡ Hey everyone, Our app is currently undergoing technical maintenance. Our hardworking developer gnomes are doing their best to fix all the issues and restore everything to full functionality as quickly as possible. Good news: We’ve already fixed Steam connectivity—you can now update your progress! We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Your patience and understanding mean a lot to us. As soon as everything is back up and running, you’ll be the first to know right here! Thanks for sticking with us!
😁 New week - new freebies from Epic 😁 This week Epic Games Store is giving away 2 games at once: Songs of Silence and ScourgeBringer. Hurry up and grab them before November 20th. Songs of Silence — first of all, it's worth noting the interesting mix of genres: here we're offered a fantasy turn-based strategy game in a next-generation 4X format, which uniquely combines kingdom and army management, hero development, and real-time battles designed as an auto-battler. The visual style is a plus as well, with the entire game rendered in Art Nouveau style. ScourgeBringer — is a 2D roguelite platformer set in a post-apocalyptic world. The main character is a fierce warrior setting out to save humanity. This platformer received 81 out of 100 points on OpenCritic, based on 36 media reviews.
What to play this weekend? Not sure about you, but I'll be spending the whole weekend testing the update in ArcRaiders 🐓 💀 They added two new heavy machines – the ARC Matriarch and Shredder 💀 New game location: Stella Montis (same as the Factory in Tarkov) 💀 Duo mode is now live! Also, I'm gathering a crew to run around in Mimesis (the new quote-survival game). Because back in the day, I got really into Repo and Lethal Company.
⚠️ Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is out! And it’s… Looks like the devs overdosed on whatever and decided to cook up the most batshit insane campaign in the entire series. Here’s what’s waiting for you: 💀 Skibidi Toilet references all over the place 💀 Evangelion references, if it were directed by a hyperactive 8‑year‑old 💀 Rainbow-colored guns for every taste 💀 A massive amount of creepy-ass bugs (floating heads, demons, giant flying faces) And yet people are still praising the game. We live in a society…

👁🖤 Rue Valley is out! Rue Valley is a narrative RPG about a small town trapped in a time loop, doomed to endlessly relive the same regret-soaked day. Published by Owlcat Games - a studio that clearly grew up worshipping Disco Elysium and the golden age of LucasArts point-and-clicks. You step into the shoes of Eugene Harrow, a man whose very surname means “to torment, to harrow the soul,” and every 47 minutes the clock cruelly resets. Your job: shatter the cycle of regret, save the town and everyone in it before the day reboots again. And that 47-minute loop? It’s not random. It’s the perfect, exquisite amount of time to ruin absolutely everything… and then have just enough left to really, truly rue it 😏
