In Disney Speedstorm, you can get boxes while racing that give you special skills to use. These skills are randomly summoned from the items you pick up while racing on the map, and they’re unique to the Racer you’re playing as. Only one of them is available to any Racer if they meet certain qualifications. There are nine different skills in Disney Speedstorm that characters can have, so let’s rank them all.

9. Boost Pow

An important part of Disney Speedstorm is managing your nitro fuel and boosting at the best times possible to overtake other racers. Boost Pow helps you do that by giving you additional nitro fuel so you can use your boost quicker (unlike its name suggests, it’s not an actual boost). You can charge it in order to get even more nitro fuel, which is a good option if you’ve just used all of your boost.

Disney is an entertainment giant, and there are more than just a few IPs under its belt. Despite the plethora of options, Disney Speedstorm only features characters from a small pool of its franchises. Of course, as developers have already confirmed, future DLC will add characters, and there may even be themed battle passes that do the same thing. There are some standout franchises that need to be featured and could add some great things to Disney Speedstorm in the future. 

Star Wars

Yes, a racing game already exists for the Star Wars franchise, but a Star Wars DLC pack would make a fantastic addition to Disney Speedstorm. The unique sci-fi characters could add a lot when it comes to skills. 

Genshin Impact has a pretty dominant meta, and it’s easy to get swept up in the idea of using the best of the best characters available; the title is a gacha game, after all. However, off-meta teams can be just as strong (and oftentimes more fun) as meta teams. Some of them just require a lot of resources to build. For players looking to just have fun and have already made it to a lot of end-game content, that’s not a problem. Here are five teams that aren’t in the current meta, that can still dominate enemies, and are unique and fun to play. 

Sniper Nahida

One of the most interesting teams in Genshin Impact, period, is the Sniper Nahida setup. This team is centered around Nahida’s Elemental Skill to take out any enemy in sight. 

When it comes to quick and easy racing games, Mario Kart has been the golden standard for quite a while. Not only is it easy to play for even the youngest of gamers, but it’s also easy to jump in and play with little to no experience. However, Disney is here to change the game with Disney Speedstorm, and it’s shaping up to be the Mario Kart competitor that many have been waiting for.

Before diving into what makes Disney Speedstorm the ideal competitor to Mario Kart, let’s consider what sets them apart besides the characters included.

Bind is finally returning to Valorant, but it doesn’t look the same as it did before it was taken out. Several changes were made to the map that were highlighted in the Patch Notes for 6.07. Here’s how these changes open up several areas around the map that will make for better, more competitive gameplay.

B Site to A Site Teleporter

One of the biggest changes made was to the teleporter by A Site. Instead of having an exit at the top of the stairs in A Lobby, it was moved towards A Bath. This puts the teleporter exit up against the A Bath and A Lobby wall.

With every new region released in Genshin Impact, there’s new puzzle mechanics and things to discover in that area. It makes sense to add something new for players that enjoy exploration, but after a few expansions, it’s starting to feel like too much. I’ve been playing Genshin since it was in beta, and trying to change the puzzle mechanics frequently is getting too gimmicky. 

Sumeru’s Newest Exploration Mechanic

The 3.6 Update is getting a brand-new area in Sumeru, and of course, there’s a new exploration mechanic to go along with it. In order to fully explore the area, you’ll need to travel around as Sorush. Sorush is a creature called Pari that can fly, which you’ll need to use in order to get around the new area.

Persona 3 Portable may have just been ported to modern-day consoles, but it looks like a Persona 3 Remake could be right around the corner. A leaked video from SEGA seems to hint that something is in the works.

Twitter user @AVtoGAMEnoYAMI shared a four-second clip of Yukari that featured her persona and Yukari attacking with her bow. The animation style is unlike anything seen in a game with Yukari in it.

Earlier this year, Hoyoverse announced that the English voice actor for Tighnari would be replaced after inappropriate conduct allegations. Now, four months later, it looks like that change will finally be happening.

Hoyoverse officially dropped the information that Zachary Gordon will be Tighnari’s new voice in the 3.6 Patch Notes for Genshin Impact. Gordon is best known for his role as Greg in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies, but he’s also voiced characters in Kingdom Hearts 3. Data miners have found his voice lines for Tighnari, and it seems like Hoyoverse is going in a new direction with the character.

April 2023’s Marvel Snap Season Pass highlighted the animals of the mobile card game. The Season itself added some new animals and Variants. While not all the cards have been released yet, here’s how you can get ready to build them and how you can use the cute new Variants once you get them. 

Jeff

The adorable baby landshark, Jeff, has an ability that lets the card be moved one time without any kind of restriction – from the way the ability is worded, it should be able to be moved into things like Flooded locations of Professor X’s lockdowns. The 2-cost 3-power Jeff won’t be available until April 18, 2023, but it seems like he’ll thrive in decks with Kraven.

Valorant’s player base loves creating things, whether it’s fan-created trailers, crosshairs, and even stop-motion animation. Recently, the Valorant subreddit saw a short video featuring Reyna and Skye that hit a little too close to home for many players. 

The stop-motion animation from user u/TheRealBirblady shows Skye and Reyna going to defuse a Spike on Ascent. Reyna goes to defuse while Skye’s voice lines start playing. However, something makes Reyna stop defusing and begin trolling.

Xbox Game Pass is saying hello to some new titles and saying sayonara to some old ones, as happens each and every month. While some of the upcoming titles are exciting, like Loop Hero and Ghostwire: Tokyo, there are some big games leaving the service on April 15 according to the most recent Xbox blog post.

Life is Strange: True Colors is an emotional adventure following to story of Alex Chen that won’t be available on Game Pass after April 15. Alex has the incredibly well-designed power of empathy, and the journey this takes her on is one everyone should explore. 

Miraidon and Koraidon have officially arrived at The Pokemon Center. The plushies are both 27 inches tall, making them the perfect height for both displaying and snuggling. 

Miraidon’s stuffed form features it laying on its legs, and there’s a lot of detail on the electrifying power running through it. On the other hand, Koraidon is shown standing on its hind legs/tail, and its antennas look larger than they do in-game.

2023 has been and will continue to be a year full of great titles. There’s a lot of anticipation surrounding many of the games of the year, and genres of all types are getting great games. One thing that no one expected was the sentient gaming accessories that are annoying. 

For some reason, developers recently thought that the next big thing was things that could talk. Games like Forspoken and Atomic Heart were massive drops for the year that included inanimate objects suddenly becoming aware of the world. Even December 2022’s release, High on Life, included obnoxious, talking accessories. 

On March 31, HoYoverse held a special preview for Genshin Impact Version 3.6 titled “A Parade of Providence.” There was plenty of news to get excited about, and some of it applied to more than just the upcoming update. Here’s everything you need to know from Genshin Impact’s 3.6 livestream.

All the New Missions with Genshin Impact 3.6

A new Genshin Impact story mission was teased, and this time it has to do with dragons in Teyvat. Nahida explained that the dragons are the oldest beings in Teyvat, and a mysterious dragon explains that they’ve existed since before records like Irminsul. 

Genshin Impact’s 3.6 livestream has taken place, and while watching Baizhu, Aether, Dori, and Nahida chat was interesting, there’s something even better – free Primogems. Just like every other livestream Genshin Impact does, there were several codes dropped that reward Primogems. And, just like all the other livestream codes, these will only last until April 1, so don’t forget to claim them as soon as you see them. Here are the Genshin Impact 3.6 livestream codes. 

Genshin Impact 3.6 Stream Free Codes

There were a few different codes given out during the 3.6 stream. Here are all of them:

Valorant’s an incredibly fun FPS game that combines strategy, precise aiming, and teamwork. However, there’s one massive problem: AFK players. Whether it’s due to toxicity or someone trying to drop ELO, players will go AFK for a variety of reasons and cause their team to struggle.

While this can be annoying in certain game modes, it wreaks havoc on the competitive scene. To work with this problem, Riot has implemented a remaking system. However, the system itself has several problems from being nearly impossible to see to having ridiculous requirements. 

Genshin Impact fans have noticed an Easter Egg on Kokomi’s Elemental Burst that ties her to a surprising franchise: God of War. The symbol for her Burst is shaped in the form of Omega, a Greek letter that’s used to symbolize war in Greece.

Reddit user u/Elecwizer pointed out the likeness. For context, Kokomi is the leader of a rebellion against the Shogunate in Inazuma, and players spend a great deal of time resolving the conflict above Enkanomiya. 

Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire may not be the most popular Pokemon games out there when you look at sales, but they hold a special place in the hearts of many. The game has iconic moments that stayed with people, and it was a huge jump compared to Pokemon Gold and Silver. There are several things that the third generation of Pokemon games got right that other Pokemon games don’t, and they still haven’t been done as well since. 

Contests

There’s no contest – the Pokemon Contests in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are leagues better than any others. The Contests were straightforward: use a combination of moves to win stars and time things correctly to get the crowd boost. It wasn’t necessarily difficult, but the more challenging Contests could change from a single move not being used correctly.

Sometimes game series do things really well and are incredibly successful, leading them to stick to the same game formula for years to come. However, while this does great things for the franchise, it excludes people who don’t care about a specific genre. It can benefit series to create spin-off games in new genres that help bring in new fans while also giving new content to current players. For series that have been running for a decade or longer, new genres can also breathe life into the main games in the franchise. 

These 10 game series could do some serious good with a new genre-changing spin-off. 

The end of the GTA Online Los Santos Drug Wars saga is here, and The Last Dose, the final chapter, has a plethora of rewards for players to rake in. After getting a trailer last week, the dramatic ending featuring the not-actually-dead Dr. Isaiah Friedlander has five brand-new missions that will offer double GTA$ and RP through March 29 (as well as players who complete The First Dose).

Besides the new story, there’s plenty more to enjoy. There are two new cars coming with the free update: the Supercar Ocelot Virtue and the Willard Eudora Muscle car. The Ocelot Virtue will be available to GTA+ Members, and the Willard Eudora is able to be found at Southern San Andreas Super Autos or Simeon’s Premium Deluxe Motorsport showroom (until March 29).
