Square Enix resumes the free trial program for Final Fantasy XIV several months after the release of Endwalker.

When games are quite popular, the release of an expansion can be as potentially problematic as any title's initial launch. Final Fantasy XIV is no exception to the rule, and the launch of Endwalker several months ago brought with it a massive influx of players that tried to log into the game and play the new expansion.

Bethesda has revealed this year's roadmap for Fallout 76 and it's full of new activities and events, starting with an alien invasion.

Surviving in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 76 is not an easy thing.

The counterpart is that you have plenty of opportunities of embarking on thrilling adventures, solo or accompanied by other friends. If you are lucky, you might even find some visitors from outer space, or that's...
