When the Emperor calls on you to face down the endless onslaught of Tyranid forces, he doesn’t expect you to go alone. Sure, you are a nearly unkillable Space Marine, but even you will need backup on this mission in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The campaign isn’t all that long, though it’s more than bloody enough to be satisfying. And replaying missions with friends or jumping into the Operations mode keeps the violence coming. If you fancy yourself a particularly deadly marine, you can even go into PvP.

Clearly, this game was not meant to be played alone, especially not if you want all the Trophies and Achievements — but does it make the list of all cross-platform games?

Is Space Marine 2 cross-platform?

Space Marine 2 is a strange case in which the answer is yes and no depending on what you’re talking about. For crossplay, the game only supports full cross-platform support for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in the co-op modes. That would be either the campaign or Operations mode. On the other hand, consoles and PC are divided for the PvP modes. Here, PC players are sectioned off while PlayStation and Xbox players can still battle it out on an even playing field.

This is similar to the cross-platform setup for Fallout 76 and Ark: Survival Evolved, which have partial cross-platform support.

Thankfully, cross-progression is a much simpler matter. Once you set up your Prism Ray Online Services account before playing, you can access this same account on any platform to move your save wherever you go. This will require you to own a copy of the game on multiple platforms to take advantage of it, but the feature is there if you need it.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.

Microsoft may already be putting pieces of its rumored Game Pass overhaul into place. A recent report claimed that Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is planning a major rethink of the subscription service that could let players pay separately for features such as cloud gaming, multiplayer, and console-only games. Xbox has now started testing a pay-as-you-go version of Cloud Gaming that does not require a Game Pass subscription.

BioWare is closing, and the next Mass Effect is going with it
The closure ends more than three decades of RPG history and follows years of troubled releases.
Mass Effect

Electronic Arts is shutting down BioWare after more than three decades, bringing the curtain down on the studio behind Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. EA also canceled the next Mass Effect in early development, and the closure is part of a wider restructuring that will reportedly eliminate around 400 jobs across EA.

Roughly 50 of those positions are reportedly at BioWare, and EA is also closing the studio’s Edmonton workspace. BioWare confirmed the news in its own farewell message, thanking the developers and players who helped build its games over the past 30 years.
