Read our full Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty review.

The classic 2-D platformer has been completely remade and will be released on PSN (for PS4 first) on July 22 in North America and July 23 in Europe. With the release only a week away, Oddworld Inhabitants has announced a couple of pre-order perks available to order ahead of those release dates.

The first bonus for “QuikBuyers” is a brand new level called “Alf’s Escape” featuring the origin story of Abe’s friend, Alf. Set in a new area of RuptureFarms and containing new puzzles, hazards, and specially recorded dialogue, this new piece of story will be released as DLC shortly after release at no extra cost to those who pre-order.

The second bonus is a costume for Abe, known as Scrub Abe. The costume is that of a traditional factory cleaner’s outfit (including striped loincloth and scalp cap) and will be available on release day.

Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty will be available for $30 in North America and £18/ €21 in Europe, and will support Sony’s cross-buy program, which means that purchasing the PS4 version of the game will unlock PS3 and PS Vita copies of the game as well.

Steams says it wasn’t hacked and your account is safe

A Steam Deck sits in a dock, as Ender Magnolia plays on its screen.

Yesterday, news broke that more than 89 million Steam accounts had been put up for sale on the dark web, prompting users to rush to change their passwords. Steam says that's false and that you don't need to worry about your account. Although there was a leak, it wasn't one that would compromise the security of your PC game library.

Steam says that although a leak did take place, it was not a breach of the Steam systems. "We’re still digging into the source of the leak, which is compounded by the fact that any SMS messages are unencrypted in transit, and routed through multiple providers on the way to your phone," the announcement reads.

Roblox creators can now sell physical merch in-game

Purchasing in-game items is nothing new to Roblox, but now users can shop for actual physical merch and receive an avatar item on top of it. Eligible creators can bundle digital items with physical purchases, according to Roblox's announcement, and it opens up more avenues for creators to generate revenue in-game.

"Our vision for the future of shopping is an experience that’s more exciting and social than the traditional online shopping experience. On Roblox, you can explore virtual stores, try on clothes, and share the experience with others," the post reads. "This naturally builds interest and purchase intent. Now we’re taking it one step further, bridging the gap between virtual and real-world shopping by enabling Roblox users to purchase physical items."

All Elder Scrolls games in order, by release date and chronologically

There are few fantasy worlds as fleshed out and deep as the Elder Scrolls' Tamriel. We were first introduced to the series in the early '90s, and now eagerly await Elder Scrolls 6 to show us a new chapter of this tale. Until that upcoming video game makes its way to our PCs and consoles, we love to revisit these games to see how they have evolved and reimmerse ourselves in the lore. Similar to the GTA games, you'd be missing out on over half the games if you think there are only 5 Elder Scrolls games out right now. Surprisingly enough, every single game is considered canon and contributes to the ongoing story of the world. While you could always jump into whatever game looks most interesting, we think playing either in release order or chronologically is a better approach. This is the official order for the entire Elder Scrolls series in release and chronological order.
