Highguard’s second update in as many days brings a limited 5-vs-5 mode to address complaints – Jan. 30 patch notes It's no secret Highguard faces an uphill battle after a debut marred by disappointment after a lackluster Game Awards trailer, but the devs at Wildlight Entertainment are up to the task. After debuting on Monday to a lukewarm reception, along with review-bombing due to performance issues on PC and other gripes, Highguard now holds a "Mixed" review rating on Steam when it comes to English reviews. The game's first post-launch update yesterday added some nice quality-of-life changes like FOV options on console, and now a new update for the free-to-play raid shooter just went live and is available now on both console and PC. https://twitter.com/playhighguard/status/2017333024598221040?s=46&t=geukt2yKPCqEo1aPD5qOgA This Friday update heading into the weekend includes some optimization for performance problems on PC, and some other interesting additions, including a 5v5 mode that players had been begging for since day one. Check out everything we know about the update below. Highguard patch notes today - Jan. 30 Image via Wildlight Entertainment One of the main changes on console is the new slate of options to disable Motion Blur and Anisotropic Materials. That said, the biggest change may be with the game's party size in a new playlist. On the top right of the lobby screen, there are now four slots for teammates, and the devs have confirmed the addition of a limited five-vs-five mode to answer community complaints. Meanwhile, players on PC are reporting much improved performance thus far after the update. Here are all of the patch notes listed by Wildlight. 5v5 playtest This first playtest will last throughout the weekend, but the situation is fluid.

Two New Friday The 13th 4K Steelbook Blu-Rays Are Up For Preorder At AmazonFriday the 13th is getting a duo of new 4K Blu-ray SteelBook releases next month. The 2009 remake 4K Blu-ray was originally released as a limited edition back in 2024, but swiftly sold out. Luckily, a new reprint is available preorder at Amazon for $37.49 (was $50). Then there's the Friday the 13: Part 2 45th Anniversary Edition 4K SteelBook, which comes with a handful of new bonus features, available to preorder for $24.49 (was $31). Both titles will release simultaneously on February 3, 2026. The Friday the 13th franchise is one of the most iconic slasher series in the history of the medium, spanning 12 movies and even a handful of video game adaptations . We've seen Jason go from his backwoods roots to New York City, and even a short stint in space (yes, really). The 2009 remake retells the original story well, hitting every big story beat, ridiculous kill scenes, and the twist in a very faithful way. Friday the 13th: Part 2 is a direct follow-up to the first one, following a new group for Jason to stalk. Both movies come in premium SteelBook cases, and the remake reprint includes brand-new cover art by artist Gary Pullin, reversible -- one side features the retro look of the original, while the other is the original poster for the remake. If you're unfamiliar, SteelBook cases are roughly the same size as a typical plastic Blu-ray case but much sturdier, and they often feature alternate art and other physical bonuses. For physical media collectors, the spines look really nice on a bookshelf, and these two horror movies are no different. More Friday the 13th 4K Blu-ray Editions: Amazon has a few other Friday the 13th movies available at discounted prices, as well. You can pick up both the standard edition and Limited Edition SteelBook version of the 1980 original film for $13 (was $28) and $28 (was $31), respectively. Jason Goes to Hell , the ninth movie chronologically, is over half off on Amazon, currently down to $22.79 (was $50). Jason X , the infamous space-faring slasher, is also on sale. You can pick it up for $23.59 (was $50). Friday the 13th (1980) -- $13 ( $28 ) Friday the 13th (1980): SteelBook Edition -- $28 ( $31 ) Friday the 13th: Part 2 - 45th Anniversary Edition -- $27 ( $31 ) | February 3 Friday the 13th (2009) Reprint -- $37.49 ( $50 ) | February 3 Jason Goes to Hell Limited Edition -- $23.59 ( $50 ) Jason X Limited Edition -- $22.79 ( $50 ) Sign up for GameSpot's Weekly Deals Newsletter:

Rocket League Just Did Something It Hasn't Done In 5 YearsRocket League released back in 2015, but it's still performing exceptionally well and just recently surged to new heights not seen in years, at least in terms of concurrent players. Developer Psyonix announced that Rocket League reached more than 900,000 concurrent players across platforms on Friday, January 23. "Today has been a wild ride," the studio said of the achievement. Rocket League apparently surpassed 1 million concurrents over the weekend , and that's the highest concurrent-player count for the free-to-play game in five years. It's not immediately clear what drove the recent surge in Rocket League players. People are pointing to streamer Jynxzi playing the game recently, but there could be any number of factors contributing to Rocket League's popularity. Continue Reading at GameSpot
