Mattel's classic Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars toy line was one of the first options for Marvel collectors who craved action figures of their favorite Marvel heroes, and Hasbro is continuing to tap into the enduring nostalgia for that line in 2026. The company revealed a second wave of Secret Wars figures that will come packaged on retro-style cardbacks.

Along with the new wave of Secret Wars figures, Hasbro also showed off a two-pack of figures inspired by the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, multiple '90s-themed X-Men figures, and the latest addition to their collector-oriented Marvel Legends Maximum Series. Get a closer look at everything in the slideshow gallery below:

As with the first wave, this batch of Secret Wars figures focuses mainly on characters who featured in the original Mattel toyline and/or the Secret Wars comic. This wave includes Spider-Man (Alien Costume), Daredevil, Falcon, Magik, Constrictor, and Absorbing Man. These figures are priced at $27.99 each and will be released in Spring 2026.

Hasbro revealed a pair of new two-pack sets, one of which being the aforementioned Born Again-style Bullseye and Muse set and the other a Black Widow/Quicksilver set inspired by the early '00s Avengers comics. Each pack is priced at $55.99 and will be released in Spring 2026.

On the X-Men front, iconic '90s villain Onslaught is getting a new figure with appropriate vintage packaging, and Archangel also gets a new deluxe release with plenty of accessories. Each figure is priced at $39.99, with Archangel releasing in Spring 2026 and Onslaught in Fall 2026.

Finally, Thor is joining Hasbro's Marvel Legends Maximum Series, which focuses on more high-end releases with added accessories. This particular Thor figure depicts the Odinson in his Olivier Coipel-designed csotume from the late '00s, which should palease the many colelctors who were clamoring for a new version of that particular look.

Maximum Thor is priced at $55.99 and will be released in Spring 2026.

Expect to see all these new reveals on display at New York Toy Fair 2026, which runs from February 14-16. Stay tuned to IGN for more Toy Fair coverage. Until then, check out Mondo's latest X-Men: The Animated Series figure.

Sonos currently has a President's Day Sale going on right now that takes up to 20% off sitewide, including a $200 discount on the Arc Ultra that drops it to $899. However, if that's still a bit rich for your blood, there's an even better going on right now. The certified refurbished Sonos Arc has just dropped in price to $449.99 with free delivery. That's half the price compared to getting the Arc Ultra on sale and an excellent deal for anyone looking for a Dolby Atmos capable soundbar.

Sonos refurbished products go through rigorous testing; they come with all accessories, manuals, and documentation and are reshipped in "pristine" packaging. Most importantly, Sonos includes the same 1-year warranty as buying new. I like when retailers offer the same warranty as new because that means they have faith in the reliability of their refurbs.

The newly-rebranded Overwatch just benefited from its best weekend player count "in over a year" across all platforms, developer Blizzard has said, as the game's new Season 1 officially goes live today.

Players have flocked back to Overwatch following last week's big Spotlight reveal event that confirmed the sequel was ditching its "2", adding a host of new heroes, and telling a fresh interconnected narrative over the next year.

An early access launch for new hero Anran also helped draw players in, while the company has quickly addressed calls from fans and the game's English-language voice actress for tweaks to the character's design.

As reported earlier this week, Overwatch had a particularly strong weekend on Steam — where the game recorded its best player count since launch. Last week's announcements continued with confirmation of an upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 port of the game, scheduled for release sometime within its new Season 2.

Here's everything that's live today, alongside the launch of Season 1:

Overwatch Season 1 — February 10

● Five New Heroes at Launch: Jump in to experience five new heroes right now, with five more coming throughout 2026 (one per season).

○ Domina (Tank), a long-range, zone-control Stalwart Tank hero and vice president of the Vishkar Corporation.

○ Emre (Damage), a fast-paced, run-and-gun Specialist Damage hero with cybernetic upgrades.

○ Mizuki (Support), a versatile Survivor Support hero aligned with the Hashimoto clan.

○ Anran (Damage), a fire-wielding Flanker Damage hero, Overwatch recruit, and Wuyang’s older sister.

○ Jetpack Cat (Support), a permanently flying feline, acting as a Tactician Support hero with quick reflexes and Hero towing abilities

● The Reign of Talon: For the first time, Overwatch is telling a fully connected narrative across an entire year, following Talon’s rise under new leadership. Follow along on this new story with our latest cinematic, as well as ongoing motion comics, animated Hero trailers, short stories, and more.

● Conquest Meta Event: Conquest is a five-week faction-based event where players align with Overwatch or Talon, completing missions and earning rewards along the way.

● Gameplay, Competitive, and Systems Updates: Season 1 includes new role sub-roles and passives for all Heroes, a competitive year reset with rewards and rarity titles, Stadium updates, a full UI/UX refresh, and new systems like Praise.

● The Overwatch x Hello Kitty and Friends collaboration is available now, introducing colorful, Hello Kitty and Friends-inspired skins plus themed extras like name cards, sprays, emotes, and more. Available now through February 24, the crossover introduces skins for…

○ Juno as Hello Kitty

○ Widowmaker as Kuromi

○ Mercy as Pompompurrin

○ Lucio as Keroppi

○ D.Va as My Melody

○ Kiriko as Cinnamoroll

● Skins and Cosmetics: Season 1 includes faction-themed skins, new themed bundles, a Mercy Celestial Guardian Mythic, Juno’s Star Shooter Mythic Weapon, and a Lootbox pool refresh including skins from the past six seasons.

After all that, Overwatch's new Season 2 will introduce a fresh hero, mythics and a celebration of the game's 10-year anniversary later this spring. Another hero joins in Season 3, due this summer, alongside the Japan Night map and more mythics. Later this summer, Season 4 drops yet another new hero and includes activity tied to BlizzCon and the Overwatch World Cup.

Catch up with everything else announced last week at Blizzard's Overwatch Spotlight event right here.

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that mixtapes (or Spotify playlists now) were an important part of those crucial, formative teenage years. I'm also sure that I'm definitely not alone in the shared experience of putting together the perfect playlist to share with my friends or a significant other. Simply put, those playlists tell a story. And while the ones from my teenage years may seem like nothing more than whatever cool metalcore bands I was into and in at the time, te memories created from those long lost CD-Rs and iTunes playlists still stick with me years later.

The importance of music during that formative but extremely awkward time is how we expressed ourselves and built an identity. The subgenres and scenes were as important to me as anything during those teenage years playing in garage bands, getting sunburned at the Warped Tour, and sifting through thousands of MP3s on my beat-up laptop in order to build that week's lineup of songs.

In video game form, Mixtape does – at least so far – an excellent job at invoking the feeling of needing that perfect soundtrack for day-to-day life. From the start of the demo, I was skating in a picturesque northwestern town during golden hour while listening to Devo’s “That’s Good”. The vibe check was passed immediately when the protagonist, Stacey, breaks the fourth wall and explains the importance of good headphones and a good playlist. Mixtape’s presentation is a hybrid of a traditional point-and-click adventure similar to Life is Strange, mixed with abrupt but natural fourth-wall breaks for exposition and what the characters are feeling in that moment. While this isn't a new thing, very few games have managed to pull it off like Mixtape does, and it has yet to overstay its welcome.

From the few chapters I've played, Mixtape seems best described as a blend of a video game and a stylish TV show. The camera work and intentionally low frame rate animation on the characters lend a charm to it, and the dialogue, while a bit campy, never took me out of the moment. Stacey, Slater, and Cassandra are very much your typical teenage archetypes in the best way possible. While they weren't annoying or overbearing like some rebellious teen-fronted games tend to be, the trio are definitely written in an unrealistic way that works perfectly for the story Mixtape is trying to tell. It's obvious that these three are meant to be stereotypical in a way that evokes a feeling of nostalgia from the player. There were a few moments where I found myself saying “been there before,” and for a story that's clearly trying to invoke a specific feeling of anemoia (nostalgia for a time that never existed) with the player, it nails that.

Let's talk about Mixtape’s namesake. The music here, while not necessarily anything that would have landed on one of the thousands of CD-Rs I made as a teen, is outstanding. In the little bit of the campaign I played, the needle drops included a mix of songs ranging from Devo to Silverchair, which show the potential diversity of Mixtape's final soundtrack, and I'm glad the developers at Beethoven & Dinosaur didn't go with your run of the mill “safe” selection of hits from the ‘90s. It's obvious that the team is digging deep with the music selection in order to not only tell its story about music snobs hoping to craft the perfect mixtape in order to get a job as a music supervisor, but also tell the story about the final day of three teens' high school years.

Of course, vibes and music aren't everything when it comes to video games, and the gameplay is where Mixtape started to feel a little flat. While there were a few moments in the demo that required a bit more interactivity than finding something highlighted on screen, such as escaping from the police in a shopping cart, throwing toilet paper at Stacey’s principals house, and positioning Stacey and Slater into various poses in a photo booth, the select chapters I played felt like they were missing the welcome bit of interactivity that other point-and-click adventures offer. While the best moments had a decent amount of gameplay, a few chapters felt like I was watching a (very polished) interactive show rather than playing a video game. That being said, Mixtape's gameplay isn't necessarily the selling point here, because every time I found myself thinking about it, something cool would happen on screen, the needle would drop, and I would be pulled right back into Stacey Rockford's story.

After playing 30 minutes of Mixtape, I can clearly see the direction Beethoven & Dinosaur is looking to take with this ‘90s-set teenage adventure. The visuals are striking, its sense of nostalgia and warmth are unlike anything I've seen recently, and the needle drops definitely made me want to play more than what the demo allowed me. Is it going to be everyone's favorite thing? Probably not, but that's the fun of making the perfect mixtape, isn't it?

LEGO has a veritable tsunami of new sets releasing on March 1 — and apparently it’s still not done making announcements. The brick-building company just announced a new Ford Model T set that looks absolutely stunning. It looks like an intricate decoration that would fit right at home on the shelf of any dad (or dad at heart). It costs $129.99 and is available to preorder now exclusively at the LEGO Store.

Games are often at their funniest when they’re not trying to be. It’s the Skyrim NPC who’s determined to deliver their stock line, apparently totally unperturbed by the dragon attack happening just behind him. It’s watching your custom character enter a sombre cutscene, standing eight feet tall and wearing a banana outfit. There’s something about the way games stoically keep up the pretense that this is all real, no matter how broken things have become in the moment, that’s sheer comedy gold.

What about the games who dare to be funny on purpose, though? That’s a rarer collective. If comedy’s all about timing, and games are all about giving you the agency to go and do what you like, when you like – well, you can see the problem. But some brave pieces of software still manage to pull it off in the face of that adversity, and we’ve corralled ten of the best ever to do so, from vintage point-and-clicks to more recent hits, from indies to blockbusters.

Trying to to decide a ranked list or order of funniness seemed like too serious a task for the subject matter – comedy is, of course, completely subjective, so your mileage may vary – but with that in mind, here are IGN’s picks for the ten funniest games of all time. Settle in, and be ready to wishlist a few titles to counteract that Last Of Us Part 2 playthrough.

Promise Mascot Agency

You could be forgiven for thinking at first glance that Promise Mascot Agency was yet another run-of-the-mill open-world mascot management simulator. It is not. Made by Paradise Killer developer Kaizen Game Works, what we have here is a town full of oddities, a van full of gas, and a story so convoluted and absurd that to describe it is to stare into the eye of madness.

There are kittens in railway administration roles. There are weeping mascots doing their level best to cheer up the patrons of a bookstore. There’s the constant threat of organized crime, looming in the background while you hit a dirt ramp in your van, which then sprouts wings to catch some sick air.

In simple terms, you’re a former Yakuza trying to lay low by operating a mascot business in the suburbs, managing the constant time and financial pressures that such a business must withstand. It’s narrative-led, but also totally freewheeling and nonsensical, and that gives Promise Mascot Agency the feeling that you’re playing one big elaborate, open-world improv. Yes, and... play it.

Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery

A small sloth is experiencing a haunting. A welcome sign for an invisible wizard has been vandalized, and corruption runs rife in Cowboy County. Grave, deeply serious matters, all of them, which, as a frog with a magnifying glass, you must address.

And yet here Frog Detective is on this list of funny games. Granted, you don’t often see detectives holding their sides and trying to contain their laughter on the job, but there’s just something about peering at a crime suspect through a giant magnifying glass and seeing only a sheep in a short-sleeved shirt giving you a benign and unwavering smile. It’s irrepressibly funny.

The mysteries are brief affairs, and exceptionally easy to solve. Instead of challenges for the grey matter, Grace Bruxner and Thomas Bowker’s trio of Frog Detective mysteries are just setups for wholesome farces, soundtracked by surprisingly catching low-fi jazz, and set in a universe of unwavering positivity and can-do attitudes. You might only be the second-best detective around, but you’re having the best time.

South Park: The Stick Of Truth

To say South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker like pushing the boundaries of taste and decency is a bit like saying Nathan Drake’s got decent grip strength, or that Blizzard’s quite fond of a loot box here and there. As such, there are entire sequences in the wondrous South Park: The Stick of Truth that we couldn’t possibly describe – nor remain straight faced at.

Stone and Parker were deeply involved as collaborators with the role-playing masters at developer Obsidian for this razor-sharp 2014 RPG. A story about a new kid trying to befriend his peers during an elaborate game of fantasy LARPing, the duo’s involvement lends it the same quality of observational humour about gaming that made Make Love, Not Warcraft an all-timer of an episode

Why does it work? Well, let’s take farting as an example. If you’re older than seven, you’re probably not in a fit of hysterics when you first learn that farts can be used as an attack in combat. But The Stick of Truth commits to the bit and makes passing gas more than a passing gag, turning it into a shockingly detailed and nuanced mechanic, to the point that you’re learning new fart moves from NPCs like unlocking new dragon shouts in Skyrim. Considering all that, it’s hard not to submit to South Park’s confrontationally juvenile gag.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch

“Nobody suspects a thing.” That’s what the wonderful soundtrack for Octodad: Dadliest Catch keeps telling you as you do your best to maintain the facade that you’re just a normal, everyday human husband and father and not – and I’m not sure why you’d ever even think this – an octopus wearing a suit.

As core premises go, they don’t get much better than that. There’s a whole subgenre of physics-based slapstick to address when you’re talking about funny games, and the likes of Baby Steps, Goat Simulator and Surgeon Simulator deserve their dues. But nobody’s married the physical comedy of an obtuse control set to an genuinely emotional premise quite as well as Young Horses did in 2017. As you lollop around quaint suburban locations like grocery stores, offices and your own beautifully decorated home, trying to avoid suspicion by moving in as human a manner possible and knocking the bare minimum of objects over with your flailing tentacles, the real hook is that you actually care about keeping Octodad’s secret.

The Stanley Parable

If it wasn’t handled so precisely, The Stanley Parable would be too meta, too confusing, and too pleased with itself to enjoy. But somehow it avoids such a fate, instead making walking along the same corridor over and over again feel like a delight, and hearing a new line of Kevan Brighting’s silky voiceover akin to finding a super-secret armor set in Dark Souls.

Precisely what the eponymous parable is depends on your particular playthrough. Stanley’s experiencing a kind of Groundhog Day in which the only constants are that he wakes up at his desk in an office, and that all his coworkers have disappeared.

You’ll live for centuries in some playthroughs, depending on what seem at the time like arbitrary choices like going through one door or another. In other playthroughs, it’ll all be over in a few minutes and you’ll barely have left your desk before you reach an ending. The writing is playfully self-aware throughout as it deconstructs this whole interactive media thing, but the biggest joke of all is the silliness of its premise. Quite simply, how much game can one make about a character walking through an empty world devoid of characters, and whose only interactions come down to choosing between forks in the road? Enough to warrant an expanded Ultra Deluxe Edition almost a decade later, clearly.

West of Loathing

There probably wasn’t much worth laughing about for those living in the wild West, what with all the spoiled meat and dysentery (cards on the table, much of our historical knowledge comes from The Oregon Trail). But it’s certainly been a rich vein of comedy for everyone from Blazing Saddles, The Three Amiigos and City Slickers, all the way to West of Loathing, a black and white, 2D side-scrolling adventure RPG with an incredible gag rate.

Every book title, every item description, every NPC interaction, they’re all just jam-packed with warm, clever jokes. So much so that as you play, you find yourself turning into one of those completionist maniacs that read every book in Skyrim or piece together Dark Souls lore, just to ensure you soak up every last drop of the good stuff. The game’s smart about training you to play that way, too: in your home during the opening, if you look at enough books on the shelf you’ll eventually find one that grants you the ‘perk’ of having a silly walk. From that point on you know you’ve got to get your nose into every monochrome corner of this old West caper.

Portal 2

Feel free to swap in the first game here, if you’re particularly into the cake and the musical finale. Portal certainly set a high bar for humour in and around the Aperture Science test chambers and established an unforgettably menacing foil in GLaDOS. The only way to top it? Portal 2: the sequel featuring Stephen Merchant, a potato, and a double-cross that nobody saw coming.

Wheatley is comedy gold throughout the, er – ambitious AI’s character arc. At first it’s his simple ineptitude that tugs at the corners of your mouth. Then it’s hearing that friendly British regional accent spit absolute malice at you. Finally, the absolute absurdity of a final showdown between one sadistic rogue AI trapped in a potato and another who’s rapidly discovering their hunger for power is not matched by their problem-solving skills. Oh, and there’s another song.

Imagine how punishing all those puzzles would be if they weren’t punctuated by such immaculately delivered comedic beats. Would you have tried so hard to figure out exactly where to place all that colored goo? No, exactly. Nobody would.

Time Gentlemen, Please!

Ben and Dan have a humble ambition: they want to watch a Magnum PI marathon on TV. Quite how this turns into a cataclysmic event that accidentally enslaves all of humanity is not easy to piece together, but it is enjoyable.

It’s also the kind of setup that an early ‘90s point-and-click would have been proud of, and developer Zombie Cow Studios is ready to give a reverential nod to many of those classic titles. There are posters for Sam & Max and Full Throttle dotted around on walls in the background. There’s an undead kid called Gilbert, along with quoted lines from Ron Gilbert’s Monkey Island series. But rather than retread that old ground for nostalgia’s sake, Time Gentlemen, Please! Has its fun by poking fun at the old genre conventions, pointing out the inherent absurdity of carrying around massive inventories of random items in the hope they’ll be useful later. Not that making a TV aerial out of a coat hanger and accidentally time-travelling is any less absurd, of course.

The Secret of Monkey Island

LucasArts ruled the ‘90s when it came to point-and-clicks, but it’s 1990’s Secret of Monkey Island where the most precious comedy gold is buried. Guybrush Threepwood might walk around telling everyone he’s a mighty pirate, but his immutable golden retriever energy makes it difficult to believe that he’s the one who’ll pass the Three Trials required for full pirate status, take on the Dread Pirate LeChuck and win Governor Elaine’s heart. Not to mention his proclivity for stuffing random objects into his pants. Not your typical swashbuckler, this guy(brush).

This was the game that gave us insult sword-fighting, a verbal disagreement turned into a tense combat system that only Ron Gilbert’s LucasArts team could pull off. It’s also a game that manages to make (very) early nineties pop culture references sit flush with age-old pirate fantasy. Thus, we have a tropical island where a fast-talking used boat salesman in a bad tweed blazer is waiting to accost you, and where vending machines line the streets. The puzzle logic might be up for debate, but its ear for funny can’t be called into question, even three decades on.

Disco Elysium

Your first clue that this isometric RPG might not be entirely straight-faced comes in Disco Elysium’s very opening scene, in which your hungover protagonist can over-exert himself reaching for his necktie and simply die. Game over, try again. That’s a heck of a way to set a tone.

There are also frequent moments of real pathos, horror, and tragedy in ZA/UM’s 2019 RPG masterclass, and they’re so well written that it never feels dissonant that five minutes later when you’re smashing a lorry window, one of the options is to “smash it, apologetically.”

Pleasingly, the funniest character in the game is you, the player, in control of an alcoholic cop who can’t remember where he parked his car (it's in the ocean) and who, after asking his partner to borrow their gun, puts it straight in their mouth in front of the armed wing of a dockworker’s union. No matter how unseriously you take your role, Disco Elysium has a way of simply rolling with it without ever undermining the darker narrative beats when they arrive.

And that concludes today’s listing of IGN’s pick of the funniest games of all time. We hope you agree with our choices, or at the very least are not angry at us for telling you about them in an effort to inform you about something that might make you laugh.

Fans of Stardew Valley are eager to get married... again. To whom? They don't know. But they're hoping their bride/groom will be a couple of individuals in particular.

To understand why, take a look back at our own interview with ConcernedApe, where he exclusively revealed to us that the next update, 1.7, would include two new marriageable characters. He wouldn't say who they were, and we don't even know if these will be brand new characters or existing characters that suddenly become available. While ConcernedApe will let us know later this month on the game's 10th anniversary, that hasn't stopped people from wildly speculating who it'll be, and there are a few theories reigning supreme right now.

Logically, we can put together that we will likely get both a man and a woman, as all the other candidates have opposite-gender pairings for events like the Flower Dance. To find out who the most popular people in the game for romance were, Reddit user JeffTheKillerFa put together a poll for fans to see who came out on top. They've since posted the results, showing Sandy coming out waaay ahead of the other single women (Marnie was in second place), and the Wizard winning the vote for single men.

But interestingly, fans have latched onto another possibility that we could see in 1.7: breaking up an existing couple. The poll also asked fans who of the currently married individuals in the valley they wanted to steal. Robin was the clear winner, with players clearly not losing any sleep over breaking her up with Demetrius. That's even something ConcernedApe has discussed as a possibility before! But Caroline (currently married to general store owner Pierre) was also a favorite.

As a bit of a gag, the poll also included a section for "non-giftable" characters, or individuals who you can't currently form even a friendship with due to a lack of ability to give gifts and limited dialogue options. Marlon of the Adventurer's Guild was a pretty obvious winner here, followed by Gunther from the museum. And in a final poll, it seems like people don't necessarily want to marry the Dwarf, but like Krobus, they wish she would move in as a roommate.

These poll results do seem to line up roughly with comments posted all over the community since our interview about who people want to see. However, there's one character that got some attention on socials who wasn't in the poll at all:

One Piece fans, it’s your time. The latest trailer for season 2 of Netflix's live-action adaptation TV show is here, and it’s full of fan-favorite moments.

Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are still on their search for the One Piece treasure in this new sneak peek, which sees the characters leave East Blue and start their first adventure in the Grand Line — which is fitting for the season's full title, One Piece: Into the Grand Line.

During this portion of their journey toward the treasure, they stop in Loguetown and also meet the Baroque Works, a criminal syndicate who appear to have sinister intentions for Luffy and his gang.

All aboard for the ONE PIECE: INTO THE GRAND LINE trailer! 🏴‍☠️ The crew returns March 10. pic.twitter.com/or6GBSc6Fk

— Netflix (@netflix) February 10, 2026

The new trailer also gives fans a glimpse of some really cool recognizable elements in the series that will get the TV treatment this season, like Zoro’s fight with members of the Baroque Works from the Whiskey Peak story arc, the Straw Hat Pirates getting eaten by a whale named Laboon, and Luffy’s group finding dinosaurs among the Baroque Works members they stumble upon on the Little Garden island.

The visual also highlights some new characters and actors being added in season 2, namely David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, and Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday. Mikaela Hoover will also voice Chopper, a talking reindeer who serves as a doctor in the Straw Hat Pirates.

The show is an adaptation of the 1997 manga series by Eiichiro Oda and stars Iñaki Godoy as Luffy. Season 2 of the series is set to premiere on March 10 — and Netflix has already greenlit a third season, so we’re excited to jump back into the quest.

Developer Embark Studios has published Arc Raiders update 1.15.0, adding a new PvE-focused event and new rewards while (finally) squashing an infamous duplication glitch.

Patch notes posted to its official website detail what is a surprisingly hefty update ahead of February’s Shrouded Sky content drop. While fans continue to wait for a new Arc threat and Raider Deck, today’s changes bring back a fan-favorite event while delivering a new mode with its own set of cosmetics to unlock.

You watch my back, I'll watch yours - that’s how Speranza keeps ticking 🫶
Join your fellow Raiders in celebrating the Shared Watch; team up with strangers, turn your barrels on the machines, and earn rewards in the process.

The Shared Watch Event begins tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/ssYtkLxZ4r

— ARC Raiders (@ARCRaidersGame) February 9, 2026

Arc Raiders players who drop into Speranza will find Shared Watch as update 1.15.0’s most notable addition. The limited-time event, which ends February 24, asks Raiders to team up with friends and strangers against Arc to earn merits. Merits unlock rewards that range from tools like a Vita Spray or acoustic guitar to permanent unlocks like the Slugger set or even a little rooster-sized helmet for Scrappy. Killing Arc is the best way to progress, making the Shared Watch Event more of a PvE mode as Embark warns that no Merits can be earned from PvP encounters.

“The Shared Watch is an annual holiday that reminds us of the true enemy, by celebrating those that look out for their fellow Raiders,” the studio said in its patch notes. “Tolerate, team-up, or take out some ARC - it’s all in the spirit of the Shared Watch.”

The Arc Raiders team has also brought back the winter Cold Snap event back as a map condition after its removal last month. Players will also notice the Trailblazer has been hit with a nerf that lowers its damage to large Arc like Leapers and Bastions, while removing its ability to do damage through walls.

These things, along with a list of bug fixes, are the headlines for update 1.15.0, but one of the most important changes actually arrived in a surprise hotfix just moments after the patch went live. In a post on X/Twitter, Embark announced the hotfix should do away with the item dupe glitch that recently wormed its way back into the game. As the studio continues to tackle reports of cheaters, the post also says players who “duplicated excessive amounts of items will be subject to further review and possible penalties.”

“Nothing beats earning your loot the hard way, now get back out there and stack those coins honestly!”

Arc Raiders players had been using the latest version of the dupe glitch to illegitimately hoard items and even make lots of quick cash. It resulted in some awkward situations, as Raiders found themselves coming across mountains of valuable little ducks.

Embark is continuing through its Escalation roadmap, which will see new map conditions, new Arc threats, a new map, a new large Arc, and more added by the end of April. Its next Expedition launches February 25, bringing along a few changes for players unhappy with the rank reset feature the first time around.

We recently sat down with Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund for an interview to learn more about the post-launch roadmap, punishments for cheaters, hotels in Italy, and how the team plans to encourage PvE players. We also learned about how the success of Arc Raiders has changed the studio for the better.

Arc Raiders Update 1.15.0 Patch Notes

Raiders,

What happens topside, stays topside - Raiders have to leave their grudges at the tubes.

But Speranza also has a conscience. While Raider violence can’t be totally controlled, Celeste is keen to remind us why we took refuge under the dust of the Rust Belt; and that just because we live in the dirt, we don’t always have to act like it.

The Shared Watch is an annual holiday that reminds us of the true enemy, by celebrating those that look out for their fellow Raiders. Tolerate, team-up, or take out some ARC - it’s all in the spirit of the Shared Watch.

What’s New?

• Shared Watch
  • This is an opportunity to team up in the fight against the machines.
  • The Shared Watch Event starts today and ends on February 24. Players will earn merits from destroying, assisting and damaging ARC and earn rewards. No merits will be earned from PvP encounters. Bring a friend or bring a stranger, but above all, bring enough ammo to make sure the machines notice you first.
• Cold Snap Map Condition
  • Winter is not quite done with the Rust Belt - We are bringing back Cold Snap!
  • The map condition is back in rotation on outdoor maps with the same mix of risk and reward. Frostbite damage will make your trip topside a short one if you don’t seek shelter, but for those who do brave the tundra - there’s increased loot value at stake!
  • You can still collect Candleberries, but they are no longer tied to any event. You can also collect, and throw, snowballs! Use them wisely, or don't.
• Cosmetics
  • The Vulpine set
  • The Slugger set

Content and Bug Fixes

Some of you have noticed changes in past updates that didn’t make it into the patch notes, thank you for flagging those and keeping us on our toes!

We’ve been building ARC Raiders for years, but we’ve only been live for a short while, and we’re still growing into the rhythm (and discipline) of live operations. Making patch notes that are complete, accurate, and easy to follow is a muscle we’re actively training.

We’re improving our internal process so fewer things slip through, and when something does, your reports help us catch it quickly and update the notes. Please keep letting us know when you spot something missing, it genuinely helps.

Miscellaneous

• Improved instances where players sometimes could not reconnect after disconnecting from a game.
• Fixed an issue where the match start tunnel scene sometimes wasn’t being shown.
• Fixed an issue where trials’ objective rewards could fail to grant at the end of a round due to a timeout, ensuring partial rewards are awarded when earned.
• Fixed an issue where the end of round screen would sometimes show incorrect merits, XP, and Live Event points.
• Fixed an issue where players’ platform icons would sometimes show incorrectly.
• Fixed an issue where crafting would sometimes get cancelled.

Utility

• Trailblazer Grenade
  • The explosions no longer deal damage through walls.
  • Deals more damage to small enemies but less damage to bigger enemies such as the Leaper and Bastion.

Weapons

• Fixed inconsistent weapon cycling when bound to keys other than the mouse wheel; keybinds now swap weapons reliably.

Known Issues

• One of the Marco set helmet variants may appear incorrectly in preview and in the menu but will appear correctly in game.
• Players may occasionally not receive a skill point as indicated in the result screen. A reboot/playing another round fixes the issue.
• ‘Purchase Raider Tokens’ page may appear in front of the inbox and profile page when switching between them.
• Player animations may appear broken when interrupting a search of the Baron Husk.
• Certain containers may be unavailable to be interacted with.
• Ziplines placed onto destroyed ARC parts will not appear correctly.
• Scrappy “Batting Helmet” and the “Slugger” outfit might not appear correctly in the event preview.
• The “Blindsided” achievement may not trigger as intended on the first attempt.

See you Topside,
