Deus Ex Go players can experience the game from a designer’s perspective later this week with the launch of Puzzle Maker, a free level-design toolkit that allows users to build their own custom maps and share them with friends.

The upcoming addition marks the first time that a level editor has been featured in a Go series game, and this week’s update fulfills a longstanding request from fans of the cross-franchise mobile puzzler series.

Like its predecessors Hitman Go and Lara Croft Go, Deus Ex Go is a turn-based puzzle game presented in the style of a tabletop board game. Taking control of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided star Adam Jensen, players must carefully traverse dozens of included levels filled with deadly enemies and hazards.

Though it features gameplay elements from recent Deus Ex series releases for consoles and PCs, Deus Ex Go scales back the experience and repurposes its assets to suit a mobile interface. Traps and enemies can turn or change position with every step taken, requiring players to adopt a stealthy, measured approach in order to survive each level.

Deus Ex Go‘s turn-based setup is ripe for user customization, and fans have long requested level editors for inclusion in past Go series releases. The upcoming Puzzle Maker feature will answer these requests with easy-to-follow blueprints that provide the basic building blocks of level structure, though players will need to devise their own traps and puzzles before uploading their creations for the world to see.

Publisher Square Enix revealed that popular user creations will be featured in Deus Ex Go‘s Daily Challenge mode, and players who wish to browse the game’s selection of custom levels will receive suggestions based on quality.

“The Puzzle Maker provides a whole new way to appreciate the Go series from another perspective, as well as community generated content, curated by the players’ play data,” Square Enix notes in a press release issued this week. “The Square Enix Montreal team created an algorithm to make sure that players always receive suggestions for content of the highest quality.”

Deus Ex Go‘s Puzzle Maker feature will roll out as part of a free update launching across Android and iOS devices on November 24.

Sony is helping bury physical games, and preservation is being left to clean up the mess
A reported 2028 cutoff for PS5 discs gives the industry a deadline it still doesn’t seem ready to handle.

Sony’s reported plan to stop producing PS5 discs in 2028 would push PlayStation deeper into a digital-first future, where access depends on licenses, storefront policy, and platform support lasting longer than companies usually promise.

That’s tidy for Sony and ugly for game preservation. Physical media was never a perfect archive, but removing it before a serious replacement exists turns the survival of old games into someone else’s emergency. It also raises questions about long-term ownership, resale rights, and whether players can truly rely on purchases to remain accessible decades later.

In this economy, Cinder City is asking for 64GB RAM. The rest of its PC specs are even weirder. [Update]
Remember when 16GB RAM was enough?

Update: After our story went live, the team behind Cinder City reached out to clarify that the 64GB RAM recommendation was simply a mistake. The Steam page has since been updated to recommend 32GB of RAM instead. As also shared on Steam, the team noted that the current specs are based on an in-development build, and the final system requirements at launch could end up being lower than what's currently listed. So, no, you probably don't need to start shopping for another 32GB RAM kit just yet. The original story is as follows.

For years, PC gamers have joked that game developers treat hardware requirements like a shopping list. Cinder City might have just taken that joke a little too seriously. The game's newly listed recommended PC specs ask for a whopping 64GB of RAM. That's a figure that's raising eyebrows because almost everything else on the list looks surprisingly… normal.
