Crimson Desert's Steam Reviews Now 'Mostly Positive' After Major Patch - IGN Daily FixIn today's Daily Fix:Crimson Desert had a strong debut, with hundreds of thousands of gamers firing up the game during its debut weekend, but user reviews have been mixed. Many complained about bugs and other technical issues, and thankfully publisher/developer Pearl Abyss has responded with a patch that fixes many of these problems. The game's Steam reviews now currently sit at 'Most Positive' after the patch went live. In related news, Pearl Abyss finally admitted to using generative A.I. for some of the game's 2D assets, explaining that they were meant as placeholders until proper asserts could be made. Pearl Abyss is now doing an audit of the entire game to replace these assets. And finally, FF14 director Yoshi-P blames the Final Fantasy series' long development times for younger games not engaging with the storied franchise.

FFXIV Exhibit Focuses on Warrior of Light
Square Enix is working with Movic to hold a new Final Fantasy XIV exhibit in Japan throughout the spring season of 2026. The FFXIV exhibit will have the title "Adventurer's Chronicle," and it will take place in Tokyo and Osaka.
The exhibit will appear first in Tokyo on the 3rd floor (Exhibition Hall C) of Ikebukuro Sunshine City's Bunkakaikan Building from April 25 until May 10, 2026. Square Enix will afterward move the exhibit to Osaka at the ATC Gallery from May 30 to June 14, 2026. Both venues will open from 10 AM to 8 PM—with the final day on each respective venue closing earlier at 5 PM—and visitors will be able to enter up until 30 minutes before closure.
Barely any details for this FFXIV exhibit have appeared as of this announcement, apart from the key visual art. Square Enix noted in the Japanese press release, though, that this exhibit will let visitors trace back the adventures of the Warrior of Light through the pieces of art displayed in the venues.
Square Enix has also published a teaser trailer on the exhibition's official website and social media account:

This exhibit will be based on Final Fantasy XIV , the online RPG available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Square Enix will also hold the XCI (91st) FFXIV Letter from the Producer Live stream on March 13, 2026.
The Final Fantasy XIV Adventurer's Chronicle exhibit will run at Ikebukuro Sunshine City in Tokyo from April 25 to May 10, 2026, and at ATC Gallery in Osaka from May 30 to June 14, 2026.
