As Pokemon Go is about to celebrate its first birthday, many assume there will be more activity in the game now that warmer weather has come. With that increased activity there are fears that once more players will be dealing with server outages due to Niantic’s servers being unable to handle massive player logins and activity. So far it seems the company has learned its lesson about their servers as there was only a day one outage with the release of Gen 2. However, many players are still waiting for the elements promised at release that have yet to come out.
Here are a few items that would help bring back players to this game:
Trading
Not all the Pokemon are available everywhere. There are also certain types that spawn more frequently in certain biomes. Trading is the only possible way without a plane ticket to get region exclusive Pokemon: Farfetch’d, Mr Mime, and Kangaskhan. Trading would be a welcome boon in bringing back players seeking a chance to get originally unattainable Pokemon.
Another aspect to trading would be to get more players out and be social. Last year, players were meeting at Pokestops while they were lured. However, with the server’s questionable stability, a system like this could easily cause outages. It is assumed this system along with trainer battles will be done via Bluetooth. However, Niantic has yet to release an official statement about this feature.
PVP
Many players want to be able to hold competitions. Some have gone far as having a gym holding contest and then giving out gym badges to the winning team. Battling is another much needed social item; it would allow teammates to team up for battles, as well as allow friendly competitions to be held. Once this system is implemented, Niantic would also have the ability to host state, regional, and even national events. However, as mentioned before, the servers as is are questionable at this time. A system like the battling could easily overload it causing errors and outages. Go also suffers from the issue of dealing with spoofers. A way to curb this annoying method of cheating may very well be using Bluetooth connectivity to ensure that the player is actually physically there.
Legendary Pokemon
Niantic has promised that the titans: Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos will be available sometime this year. The company accidentally proved they had the legendary birds already in the code when some trainers accidentally received them in an patch. How the company plans to implement these birds is still a mystery. Theories such as the birds being around during certain seasons (Winter for Articuno, Summer for Moltres and Spring for Zapdos) have been suggested on Go based message boards.
Niantic caused outrage last year with a badly worded tweet leading people to believe that one of the birds was going to appear during last year’s Comic Con, angering players who could not afford to attend such events. How and when these legendaries will be available and if Mew and Mewtwo will be catchable are among many questions players have.
If and when these items come out, Niantic should focus on the current problems in the game such as spoofers, lack of good customer support and service, and ensuring server stability. With the millions this game has generated for the little known mobile company, it is time they start working on its infrastructure and anti-cheat measures to help keep the already eroding longevity of this mobile game.
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
