By Jesse Lennox Published February 23, 2024

After so many years, we’ve all just about given up hope for a sequel to Starcraft 2, so we might as well have as much fun with this entry as possible. While there is significant depth on the multiplayer and even some great expansions, dedicated players have no doubt hit a wall in terms of how much fun they can have through normal means. That’s when triggering some handy cheats can breathe some new life into this master class of an RTS. We’ve gathered all the necessary resources to build you the definitive list of cheats and console commands for Starcraft 2.

Unlike console games that require long codes or hidden button combinations to trigger cheats, PC gamers have a much easier time. You can start cheating in Starcraft 2 by simply opening the chat window and pressing the Enter key. This will open a window where you simply enter one of the cheats below, hit Enter once more, and see the effect take place.

Note that while all the cheats we will cover are included in the game from the developer, and thus won’t get you banned for using them, they will prevent you from earning any achievements.

Switch 2 vs. Switch: should you make the switch?

In what may go down in gaming history as the worst-kept secret of all time, we finally have concrete information about the Nintendo Switch 2. This is the latest Nintendo console that succeeds the Switch as the premier system. However, not everyone is convinced that this new system is worth the price, somewhat like the PS5 vs. PS5 Pro. Unlike comparing the Switch vs. Switch OLED, the Switch 2 is a full generational leap with better specs, a new design, updated controllers, and, of course, games. Let's compare every aspect of these two systems so you can make a fully informed decision on whether or not the Switch 2 is for you.

Every wrestler in WWE 2K25

The Bloodline, led by Solo Sikoa, raises their fingers to the sky in WWE 2K25.

One of the biggest draws to any WWE game is getting to embody your favorite wrestler in their prime. WWE 2K25 is taking the entire wrestling genre to new levels with some of the most ambitious modes and features we've seen in the franchise. We know we will be able to face off in all the traditional modes, but now there will be an open world to explore with various quests and optional challenges. As cool as these modes sound, it wouldn't make much difference if your childhood favorite wasn't playable. 2K has already claimed that WWE 2K25 will feature the "biggest roster ever" but not everyone can be included. We now know the entire playable roster the game will have at launch, plus a few more that are locked behind preorders and DLC If you want to know if your favorite star is in the game, here's the full list.

This is the current playable roster for WWE 2K25 when it launches in May, although 5 are relegated to preorder bonuses. There are a ton of options here with most of the favorites represented, but we still expect more to come after the launch as DLC so don't be too upset if your personal favorite isn't on the list. Here is every wrestler you can expect on day one:

How to preorder the Nintendo Switch 2

Now that the Switch 2 has made its official debut, everyone is ready to put their money down to get their hands on this new console. The initial trailer showcased just a glimpse of the system but did put many minds at ease by confirming backwards compatibility. Sadly, the one major piece of information we were hoping for, the release date, was missing from the reveal. We know it is coming in 2025 and that there will be events held around the world to play it early, but most of us just want to preorder the system so we know we will have it when it does finally launch. We checked out every major retailer to give you every resource possible to secure your very own Switch 2 preorder on April 24.
When will preorders start for the Switch 2?

After the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, we finally learned that preorders for the Switch 2 will start on April 9. However, in response to the new tariffs announced by President Donald Trump, preorders were delayed until an unspecified date.
