Best New Indie Games Released in 2025
From stunning debuts to long-awaited follow-ups, the indie game scene in 2025 has delivered some of the most creative and memorable experiences in gaming. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brought turn-based combat to life with painterly visuals and emotional depth. Team Cherry finally released Hollow Knight: Silksong after nearly seven years in development. These are just a few examples of 2025 indie games that aren't just fan favorites. Some of them could even be contenders for Game of the Year. But what exactly makes a game “indie”? Before diving into the best indie games of 2025, let’s define what qualifies a title as indie.
What is an indie game?
An indie game is a video game developed by individuals or small teams without the creative or financial control of a major publisher. While the label is somewhat subjective, most indie games share the following characteristics:
* Financial independence: The game is self-funded, crowdfunded, or backed by boutique publishers who do not interfere with creative decisions.
* Creative control: Developers make all design, narrative, and gameplay choices without outside pressure or oversight.
* Small development team: Typically built by individuals or small studios formed specifically for a single project or creative vision.
* Experimental design: Indie games often explore unique mechanics, storytelling, or presentation styles not found in mainstream titles.
* Distinct artistic style: Many use stylized, minimalistic, or retro visuals to reflect the creators’ vision or work within budget limits.
* Digital-first distribution: Released primarily through online storefronts like Steam, Itch.io, or console marketplaces rather than physical retail.
* No publisher control: Even when publishing support exists, the studio maintains independence if there’s no creative oversight from the publisher.
With those traits in mind, let’s take a look at the best indie games of 2025, each one bringing its own fresh take on gameplay, storytelling, or style.
10 best indie games to play in 2025
10. Keep Driving
Developer: YCJY Games
Release date: February 6, 2025
Keep Driving is a turn-based road trip RPG that captures the bittersweet freedom of being young, broke, and slightly lost. Set in the early 2000s, you play as a teenager with a beat-up car, a loose summer plan, and just enough cash for gas and snacks. The goal? Make it across the map to a music festival while picking up oddball hitchhikers, avoiding breakdowns, and surviving a series of clever resource-management events along the way.
Each drive becomes a mini story. You’ll juggle fuel, energy, car repairs, and your passengers’ baggage, both literal and emotional. The game’s turn-based challenges involve playing skill cards and using items from your glove box to avoid setbacks like potholes, biker gangs, and “vague lanes.” But it’s the people you meet that really make the trip. From runaway brides to prison escapees, every hitchhiker adds personality, utility, and the occasional bit of chaos.
With great writing, multiple endings, and a killer soundtrack from Swedish indie bands, Keep Driving captures the spirit of a summer road trip where anything can happen and every decision leaves a mark. It’s heartfelt, weird, and unforgettable.
9. Schedule 1
Developer: TVGS (solo developer: Tyler)
Early Access release date: March 24, 2025
Schedule 1 is a management sim wrapped in satire, chaos, and surprising calm. You start as a down‑on‑your‑luck newcomer in a gritty city, building a small-scale narcotics operation from your hotel room. Over time, this modest setup becomes a sprawling, automated business with dozens of employees and city-wide distribution. Despite the dark theme, the game feels more cozy than criminal. You grow, craft, mix, and sell products, with a pace and tone that’s oddly relaxing.
What sets this game apart is its unusual mix of crime, comedy, and calm. Customers have specific preferences, encouraging you to experiment with blends and discover new product combos. As you grow your business, you'll automate everything from production to distribution and shift from street hustler to logistics mastermind.
Schedule 1 is also a surprisingly fun multiplayer game. You can invite a friend into your world to help with deliveries, production, and expansion. Co-op feels like a chaotic slice-of-life simulator where both players hustle side-by-side, managing deals and skating around town. Whether you're refining recipes together or laughing at the absurd item names, it's a memorable shared experience.
The latest Cartel Update added rival dealers, new quests, ambush events, graffiti mechanics, and property upgrades, expanding the game's scope and challenge. While the endgame is still under development and a few bugs remain, the consistent updates from its solo developer suggest a strong future ahead.
With its weird charm, creative systems, and hilarious co-op mode, Schedule 1 is one of 2025’s most unexpected indie hits.
8. Escape from Duckov
Developer: Team Soda
Release date: October 16, 2025
Escape from Duckov is a clever parody of Escape from Tarkov that swaps gritty online PvP combat for a quirky, offline single-player experience filled with ducks, loot, and danger. You play as a prisoner-turned-mercenary, taking on missions in a world falling apart. Don’t let the cartoonish style fool you. This game is tough, smart, and surprisingly tense.
Each run into the city is a top-down extraction mission. You search for loot, complete objectives, fight armed enemies, and try to make it back to your bunker alive. The AI is smart, the gunplay feels great, and nighttime or storm events introduce real risks. You can also choose from different difficulty settings that affect what happens when you die. Some settings let you recover lost gear, while others wipe your inventory completely.
Outside of combat, you can upgrade your hideout and build out services from NPCs who offer gear and stat upgrades. Each item you bring back can be used, traded, or saved for crafting. The progression is steady and satisfying. There is even mod support built into the main menu for players who want to customize the game further.
Escape from Duckov may look like a joke at first glance, but it delivers smart systems, intense firefights, and a strong sense of atmosphere. It is more than a parody. It is one of 2025’s most original single-player indie experiences.
7. Megabonk
Developer: vedinad
Release date: September 19, 2025
Megabonk is a 3D Survivors-like that combines the endless chaos of Vampire Survivors with the buildcrafting depth of Risk of Rain 2. You play as a goofy character called Monke, facing off against swarms of enemies with auto-firing weapons and stat-boosting tomes. At first glance, it might look like another meme game, but spend five minutes with it and you’ll realize there is real design magic underneath the chaos.
Each run has you racing against a ticking clock as you explore the map, defeat enemies, activate shrines, open chests, and prepare for a stage-ending boss fight. The longer you last, the harder the game pushes back with swarms, mini-bosses, and unpredictable item synergies. Over time, you unlock dozens of weapons, tomes, and characters, many of which let you create wild and overpowered builds.
Unlike other games in the genre, Megabonk puts heavy focus on exploration. You don’t just stand still and stack kills. You move, loot, and adapt. Meta progression systems allow you to reroll upgrades, toggle off specific items, and fine-tune your strategy from run to run. Success often depends on understanding how different systems interact and taking risks with random elements.
The game has some bugs and balance issues, but its core loop is so engaging that it’s easy to overlook the rough spots. It also plays extremely well on handhelds like the Steam Deck, where the performance stays smooth even during heavy swarms of enemies and projectiles.
Megabonk isn’t flashy or polished, but it’s deeply fun. It captures the joy of experimentation, power scaling, and leaderboard chasing better than most of its peers. For fans of Survivors-likes or anyone looking for a “just one more run” kind of game, this is a must-play.
6. Look Outside
Developer: Francis Coulombe
Release date: March 21, 2025
Look Outside is a surreal 2D survival horror RPG that blends SNES-era visuals with cosmic dread. Set inside a warped apartment complex under the influence of a mysterious object in the sky, this debut from solo developer Francis Coulombe delivers something bold and unforgettable. The game runs flawlessly on both PC and Steam Deck and features some of the most unsettling worldbuilding of the year.
You have 15 in-game days to survive and uncover one of multiple endings. Each day gives you limited hours to explore, fight, and scavenge before returning to your apartment to rest. Time only advances when visiting new areas, and save points are tied to how long you’ve been active. This mechanic creates long stretches of tension, where a bad decision can mean losing an hour of progress or more.
Combat is turn-based, but party members bring unique twists. One livestreamer gains powers by building viewer count. A punk duo kicks you out of your bedroom but helps you win fights. Their mechanics overlap and evolve in creative ways, turning even the simplest fights into tactical challenges. Who you invite into your apartment changes how the game plays, both mechanically and narratively.
The horror is deeply psychological. The story dives into madness, body horror, and paranoia, with disturbing NPC encounters and branching dialogue that changes your fate. You might meet a painter haunted by his multiplying self-portraits, or a voice in a pipe that drags you into a grotesque romance subplot. Every decision matters, and most of them have unsettling consequences.
The art style echoes classic 16-bit RPGs, but the imagery is far more nightmarish. Enemies mutate mid-battle, crawling with extra limbs or revealing horrifying secrets. The music and sound effects are equally strong, building a sense of dread that never quite fades. With great performance, no major bugs, and frequent developer updates streamed live on Twitch, this is a polished and personal work.
Look Outside is haunting, funny, and full of strange beauty. It rewards exploration and replaying, with multiple endings and hidden content tucked into every floor of the building. For fans of survival horror or retro RPGs, this is one of the most memorable indie games of the year.
5. Monster Train 2
Developer: Shiny Shoe
Release date: May 21, 2025
Monster Train 2 is a brilliant follow-up to the 2020 roguelike deckbuilder that adds more content without breaking what already worked. You still manage units across a three-floor train and fend off waves of enemies using card-based spells and upgrades. But this time, you're climbing up from Hell to storm a corrupted Heaven, and the game's new clans, room modifiers, and gear systems offer deeper strategy than ever before.
The five new factions are creative and fun to experiment with. You can stack damage-over-time effects, spawn mushrooms, use gear that transfers when a unit dies, or cast moon-phase spells that flip each turn. Equipment and room cards can dramatically change the tide of battle, allowing for wild combinations. There's also a new way to modify your Pyre Heart at the start of each run, giving you bonuses that shape your overall strategy.
Every run is filled with important decisions. Choosing your primary and secondary clan, your champion’s skill tree, your Pyre Heart, artifacts, spells, and upgrade paths gives each playthrough a unique feel. The game also makes it easier to learn by letting you reset turns and retry battles if you make a mistake, a welcome addition for casual and hardcore players alike.
For those looking for a challenge, Monster Train 2 offers Endless Mode, customizable challenge tiers, and 21 hand-built Dimensional Challenges that unlock new Pyre Hearts and cosmetics. These modes push your builds to the limit.
On top of its deep systems and excellent performance on Steam Deck and PC, Monster Train 2 now supports multiplayer runs. You can compete with others through daily challenges, community-built rule sets, and leaderboard scoring. That social layer adds extra replay value, especially if you want to see how your strategies stack up against others.
With smart improvements, strong faction design, and a mountain of replayability, Monster Train 2 stands as one of 2025's most polished and addictive indie games. Whether you're in it for high scores, crazy builds, or just an hour of satisfying deckbuilding, this game delivers.
4. Blue Prince
Developer: Dogubomb
Release date: April 10, 2025
Blue Prince is a standout first-person puzzle game that blends roguelite room drafting with tile-based map building, narrative exploration, and clever logic challenges. You play as Simon, a teenage boy who must solve the secrets of his great uncle’s ever-shifting mansion to claim his inheritance. To do so, you must discover the hidden 46th room by building a new floorplan with each run.
Each day begins with a limited number of steps. Every time you open a door, you draft one of three new rooms to connect next, building a custom 9×5 floor grid. Every room has its own category: purple rooms grant extra steps, yellow rooms offer items, and red rooms introduce risk. There are also hidden rooms that only appear under special conditions, encouraging experimentation and long-term planning.
The real puzzle lies in how you interact with this world. Clues are scattered across the house and often span multiple rooms or runs. Some puzzles involve math or levers, but the most satisfying ones require critical thinking, note-taking, and pattern recognition. Over time, you unlock permanent upgrades and special tools that help mitigate randomness and give you better control over your layout.
Despite its randomized structure, the game never feels unfair. Even a failed run usually reveals new secrets, story beats, or mechanics that deepen your understanding of the house. The lore is rich but optional, gradually uncovering the truth behind your uncle’s legacy and the nation he once influenced. Every discovery feels earned, and the sense of progression is steady and rewarding.
If you enjoy games like Myst, Return of the Obra Dinn, or Outer Wilds, Blue Prince belongs in that conversation. It is one of the smartest and most satisfying puzzle games of the year.
3. Hades 2
Developer: Supergiant Games
Release date: September 26, 2025
Hades 2 expands on one of the best roguelites ever made without losing what made the original special. You now play as Melinoë, daughter of Hades and Persephone, who must defeat her grandfather Chronos. It sounds straightforward, but what follows is one of the deepest and most replayable action games of the year.
Each run branches into two paths: Tartarus or Mount Olympus. Both contain distinct enemies, environments, and bosses. This branching structure adds twice the variety and helps keep each session fresh. Whether you're clearing Olympus or diving deeper into the Underworld, the structure always supports discovery.
Combat is faster and more flexible than before. Mel is a spellcaster by nature, with a magic circle Cast, elemental synergy boons, and powerful Hex ultimates. You can equip different weapons like twin torches, a massive axe, or a broom-style staff. Each one has multiple variations that radically change how you approach fights.
Progression is just as satisfying. From Hecate's cauldron upgrades to animal familiars and farming systems, new mechanics are unlocked slowly but never feel like clutter. The returning gods like Hermes and Poseidon have been reworked, and the new moon goddess Selene adds a build-defining mechanic in the form of a customizable Hex tree.
Voice acting is excellent, the character arcs are layered and mature, and the art is once again among the best in the genre. On top of that, Darren Korb’s music may be his strongest soundtrack to date. Boss fights like the Scylla and Sirens encounter even weave their own musical themes into gameplay. It is elegant, creative, and often hilarious.
Hades 2 builds on the original with more story, more builds, and more meaningful decisions. It is not just a sequel. It is the new benchmark for roguelite design.
2. Hollow Knight: Silksong
Developer: Team Cherry
Release Date: September 4, 2025
After seven long years and more than a few fake Reddit posts, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally launched in 2025. The wait was agonizing. Originally announced as a DLC that evolved into a full sequel, Silksong became the poster child for "where is it?" threads, meme countdowns, and endless speculation. Now that it’s here, the game not only lives up to the hype, it cements Team Cherry’s reputation for crafting hauntingly beautiful, brutally precise action platformers.
You play as Hornet, a fast and agile warrior navigating the vertical kingdom of Pharloom. Every inch of the game feels hand-built. From the labyrinthine level design to the melancholic soundtrack, Silksong pulls you into its eerie world and doesn’t let go. It’s harder than Hollow Knight in almost every way. Most enemy attacks deal two masks of damage. Save benches are rare. And the game punishes recklessness, forcing you to approach each encounter with intention.
But the difficulty never feels unfair. Bosses are tough but well-telegraphed. Tools can be swapped through Crests to change your playstyle. Some favor heavy defense, others reward speed and aggression. And Hornet’s healing system, which requires a pause to bind and restore three masks at once, creates a constant push-pull between risk and reward. Exploring feels tense, methodical, and satisfying.
One of the game’s strongest traits is its sense of discovery. The world is dense with secrets, shortcuts, and hidden bosses. The moment you think you've seen it all, a new path opens. Every region has its own personality, from the windswept wastes to industrial ruins. Lore is scattered through sidequests and subtle details, inviting deep dives and debate.
This is not a game that holds your hand. It expects you to get lost, to struggle, to figure things out on your own or through trial and error. And that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.
1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Developer: Sandfall Interactive
Release Date: April 24, 2025
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is my personal Game of the Year for 2025. It blends the artistic style of French theatre and painting with modern JRPG systems in a way that feels both familiar and brand new. You lead a group of warriors on a desperate quest to destroy a godlike figure called The Paintress, who each year marks a number that determines the age at which people will vanish from existence. It’s a dark premise, but the execution is thoughtful, emotional, and at times even hopeful.
The combat system is one of the best turn-based systems ever made. You don’t just select attacks. You also time button presses during spells, dodges, and parries. This keeps you fully engaged every turn, especially during boss fights that play out like rhythm games. Parrying at the perfect moment rewards you with slow-motion counterattacks. Each character plays differently, with their own unique mechanics and combo systems. The card-wielding Sciel manages light and dark phases. Gustave builds power with hits. Maelle switches between stances based on status effects and weapons. Lune stacks elemental affinities to cast devastating spells.
Outside of battle, the Picto system lets you customize builds with perks and bonuses. It starts simple but expands into complex synergies that reward experimentation. While the menus can get cluttered, the game encourages you to break its systems in clever ways. You can feel overpowered, but only if you earn it.
The game also shines in its storytelling. Its world is melancholic but full of personality. There are goofy wooden creatures called Gestrals, party campfire scenes that reveal character backstories, and dialogue that feels grounded and natural. The themes of grief, mortality, and legacy are handled with care, and the voice acting is top-tier throughout.
Its pacing is another strength. The 35-hour runtime leaves little filler. Dungeons are tight, the overworld is packed with secrets, and side content adds meaningful depth. Even without a quest log, exploration feels organic. The soundtrack deserves its own praise. From symphonic rock to opera to ambient strings, it elevates every moment.
While some later plot twists come fast and a few dungeons could use a minimap, these are small issues in an otherwise outstanding experience. Clair Obscur doesn't just pay tribute to the classics. It understands what made them great and builds something meaningful on top of that. If you love turn-based RPGs, this is not one to miss.
Final thoughts
2025 has been an incredible year for indie games. We’ve seen stunning world-building, bold art direction, and some of the most engaging combat systems in recent memory. These titles prove that you don’t need blockbuster budgets to create unforgettable experiences.
Whether it’s the emotional storytelling of Clair Obscur, the finely tuned difficulty of Silksong, or the endless replayability of Hades 2, indie developers continue to raise the bar. Any one of those three could walk away with Game of the Year, and I wouldn’t be surprised. They’ve earned their place at the top.
If you're ready to dive into these games at their best, make sure your setup is up to the task. Explore powerful Acer gaming laptops and desktops at the Acer Store. Students can also get 15% off with the Acer student discount.

A New Look at the Acer Iconia X12 Tablet
The Acer Iconia X12 tablet offers an outstanding blend of entertainment and productivity. This article will introduce the benefits of a tablet and the features and specifications of the Acer Iconia X12. Tablets are portable, all-in-one devices with a sensitive touchscreen. They are typically used for playing games, taking pictures, browsing the web, and reading electronic books. They are built for mobility, offering a happy medium between a smartphone and a laptop.
What are the benefits of an Android tablet?
With so many devices on the market, it can be tough to know which is right for your needs. There are significant differences between tablets, smartphones, and laptops, with unique advantages to each. Laptops tend to be bigger and offer more robust computing abilities with more memory storage, making them ideal for multitasking, whereas tablets are smaller and less suitable for intense work sessions. Here are some benefits of a tablet and why they may be a top choice for your needs.
1. Android vs. Windows and Chrome tablets
Android tablets like the Acer Iconia X12 are known for their simplicity, ease of use, and affordability. They also provide access to a huge range of apps via the Google Play Store, which are optimized to run directly on Android devices. While Windows and Chrome tablets are compatible with Android apps, they may not run as smoothly as they are scaled down for their respective operating systems. Chrome tablets are designed for web-based use and therefore tend to rely on using apps in the browser. As such, Android tablets offer a superior choice and quality for entertainment, games, and other apps than Windows and Chrome devices.
2. Lightweight and portable
Tablets are lightweight and portable, with most tablet devices weighing under two lbs (0.90 kg), so you can comfortably carry them in a handbag or purse without noticing much extra weight. This makes them an excellent travel companion, allowing you to take photos and videos to document your trip. Moreover, playing games or watching movies on a tablet is a great way to beat boredom on long journeys or commutes.
3. Long battery life
One major advantage of a tablet device is its long battery life. This is because the hardware components within a tablet consume less power than a laptop, which have a smaller sized battery and more components. Some tablets can last over 12 hours on a single charge, depending on usage, which is enough to get you through a long flight or day of classes.
4. Designed for games and videos
If you enjoy playing games, watching videos, and listening to music, then a tablet might be for you. Tablets are less capable of multitasking and flicking between apps than a laptop but still offer good performance for light tasks like playing games. Moreover, tablets are ideal for note taking during classes and are lightweight enough to carry around in a backpack or school bag. They also support electronic books, helping you save space while still being able to read your favorite novel.
5. Affordability
Tablets are typically more affordable than laptops. Some budget models may cost USD $100 or less, whereas middle tier tablets with a better performance could be in between USD $200 and USD $400. Premium tablets are priced from USD $500, delivering a higher performance for their price tag.
Introducing the Acer Iconia X12 tablet
The Acer Iconia X12 tablet is the perfect blend of entertainment and productivity. It includes stunning AMOLED visuals and quadspeakers sound, as well as up to 400 nits of brightness and a 60Hz refresh rate. The tablet also features in-cell touch technology for precise responsiveness and unbeatable clarity.
It comes with an optional stylus and keyboard, so you can unleash your creativity as you stay productive with up to 16 hours of battery life on a single charge. The Acer Iconia X12 also delivers lightning-fast performance with a MediaTek Helio G99 OctaCore processor and up to 8GB RAM for smooth multitasking. You can also expand its 256 GB storage up to 1 TB using a MicroSD card.
The 13MP rear camera features a flash for taking photos in low-light situations, while the 5MP front camera is perfect for video calls and taking selfies. The handy magnetic kickstand lets you free your hands and show your best side with the perfect viewing angle.

Introducing the Predator Helios 18 AI (5080 GPU): The 2nd Most Powerful Acer Laptop
If you joined us a few weeks back when we unveiled the most powerful Acer gaming laptop, the Predator Helios 18 AI (RTX 5090), you’ll be glad to know that our season of powerhouse gaming laptops continues today with the introduction of its formidable runner-up, the Acer Predator Helios 18 (5080 GPU).
Acer gaming computers come in many shapes and sizes. And if you don’t look carefully, the names and numbers of the different models can get slightly confusing. The key here is in the 8, or the 9! The Predator Helios 18 AI 5080 version looks and tastes very similar to the 5090, but is less than half the price of its almighty cousin. So, we’re taking a slight step down from the lofty heights of the 5090 GPU to the still very lofty (h)eights of the 5080, let’s take a closer look at the Predator Helios 18 AI 5080 and see if we can’t conquer the gameverse while we’re at it.
Death or glory
The Predator Helios 18 AI 5080 is a ridiculously portable gaming fortress ready to take you to new realms of gaming success. As we mentioned earlier the Predator Helios 18 AI 5080 currently sells for less than half of the $6,999.99 that the 5090 goes for. If you’re looking to dominate the games you play, but don’t want to destroy your finances or remortgage your house, then the 5080 is a wiser choice.
But let’s be clear: this is not a budget laptop! In fact, there are two different models available, the Predator Helios 18 AI Gaming Laptop - PH18-73-98GC for $3,549.99, and the Predator Helios 18 AI Gaming Laptop - PH18-73-974G yours for $3,099.99.
The difference between these two apex beauties? A matter of RAM and SSD, of course. The slightly more expensive model packs a ceiling cracking 64 GB, DDR5 SDRAM and 2 TB SSD, while the other model kicks down the door with 32 GB, DDR5 SDRAM 1 TB SSD.
Now that we’ve got the price tags and RAM out of the way, let’s get amongst it take a sip of the tasty tech-specs of the Predator Helios 18 AI Gaming Laptop (5080):
* OS: Windows 11 Home
* Processor: Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX processor Tetracosa-core (24 Core™) 2.70 GHz
* GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 with 16 GB dedicated memory
* Memory: 64 GB, DDR5 SDRAM/32 GB, DDR5 SDRAM (see above)
* Storage: 2 TB SSD/1 TB SSD (see above)
* Display: 18" WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 16:10 IPS 250 Hz
* Display Screen Technology: ComfyView (Matte); In-plane Switching (IPS) Technology
* Speakers: 6
* Network: Wireless LAN Killer 1750x IEEE 802.11be
* Bluetooth: 5.4 or above
* Built in Devices: Webcam, microphone
* Interfaces: HDMI, 5 x USB, Network (RJ-45), audio in/out
* Color: Abyssal Black
* Dimensions: 15.8” x 12.1” x 1.16”
* Weight (Approx): 7.72 lb
The people’s choice
As you can see from these block rocking tech specs, the Predator Helios 18 AI Gaming Laptop (5080) shares many of the flagship features of the 5090. Similarly, this is a gargantuan of gaming that lights up any room lucky enough to be graced with its RGB illuminated, abyssal black presence. At the heart of this beast we have the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, a smashing 18-inch WQXGA IPS display, all infused with era-defining AI capabilities. This is the Predator Helios 18 AI for those who recognize exactly where performance meets precision.
Number of the beast: 24 core mind
For tactical excellence the Predator Helios 18 AI Gaming Laptop (5080) is built out from the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU. 24 cores represent the pinnacle of the core mind: 8 cores for heavy lifting, while the other 16 cores ensure that everything in the background is covered. A clock speed of 2.70 GHz can be overclocked to a maximum of 5.4 GHz giving you a massive speed boost when it’s needed.
This CPU has a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for you to offload tasks like background removal and audio optimization for seamless streaming. What’s more, Intel Application Optimization (APO) continually tweaks and tinkers with your PCs performance letting you get the most out of the latest games as well as older titles.
Intelligent savagery: RTX 5080
This is where the Predator Helios 18 AI (5080) earns its name. Let’s make no bones about it: the GeForce RTX 5080 isn’t a compromise, it’s NVIDIA’s latest generation of GPU technology, balancing sheer graphics horsepower with thermal efficiency.
Built on dedicated GDDR7 video memory, the 5080 handles high-res textures and lighting with ease, pushing the 2560 × 1600 WQXGA display to its limits. Whether you’re playing AAA titles at max settings, creating in 3D, editing 8K footage, or simply streaming your favorite show, the 5080’s dedicated graphics memory ensures zero slowdown and ever- consistent frame pacing.
On top of all this, AI-enhanced rendering (using NVIDIA’s own machine-learning optimizations) sharpens detail and maximizes performance, so visuals stay crisp and clean under the heaviest of loads. If you’re a gamer or creator who requires laptop portability with desktop-level output, the 5080 is your ticket to rarefied freedom. What you see is what you get: AI-infused computing with ray tracing, ultra high-speed rendering, and real-time visual computation, all fine tuned for efficiency and cool running.
Speaking of running temps, a beast like the Predator Helios 18 AI kitted out with such monstrous CPU and GPUs is bound to run slightly on the warmer side of toasty. Naturally, this laptop is also equipped with 6th gen aeroblade 3D fan technology. The Predator Helios 18 AI features the world’s thinnest 0.05mm fan blades that rise and adapt at high speeds, increasing airflow efficiency by 20%!
Choose wisely
As we mentioned above, there are currently two configurations of the Predator Helios 18 AI Gaming Laptop (5080). So, how to choose between the two?
* Firstly, the 64 GB DDR5 RAM and dual PCIe 5.0 SSD (2 TB total) model. This slightly pricier version delivers instant loadouts with zero lag, and is built for creators with vast libraries.
* Meanwhile, the 32 GB DDR5, 1 TB SSD model is still a full-blooded Predator, just leaner and every bit as fast. Slightly smaller capacity trims cost and heat, while delivering Predator performance, as expected.

Still Using Windows 10? Here’s Why It’s Time to Switch to Windows 11
The end of support for Windows 10 is no longer a future concern, as of October 14, 2025, Microsoft has officially stopped providing free security updates and feature support for Windows 10. If you're still using a Windows 10 PC today, your system is now unprotected unless you've taken specific steps to stay secure.
Some regions, such as the European Union, receive one additional year of free critical security updates through October 2026. In most other areas, including the United States, you must either upgrade to Windows 11 or sign up for Extended Security Updates (ESU) to continue receiving protection. These updates only cover important security fixes and do not include new features or quality-of-life improvements.
For organizations and businesses, ESU can be purchased through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Program at $61 USD per device for Year One. This cost doubles each year, for a maximum of three years. ESU is also available at no cost for Windows 10 virtual machines running in specific Microsoft cloud services.
If you haven’t enrolled in ESU, upgraded your system, or bought a Windows 11 device, now is the time to act. Below, we explain why.
Why you should upgrade to Windows 11 now
If you are still using Windows 10 without extended protection, you’re exposing your system to increasing risk. Even with ESU, you are missing out on key improvements. Here are four major reasons why upgrading to Windows 11 is the better choice:
1. No more security patches
Windows 10 no longer receives free security updates. This means newly discovered vulnerabilities will go unpatched for most users. Over time, this creates significant risk as hackers begin to target unprotected systems. Even if you pay for ESU, it only covers critical security fixes and nothing else.
2. Decreasing software support
Developers are already shifting their focus to Windows 11. While your apps won’t stop working overnight, software companies will gradually drop Windows 10 compatibility. This means fewer updates, reduced features, and eventually, no support at all.
3. No access to new features like Copilot
Microsoft’s latest tools, such as Windows Copilot, AI enhancements, and modern accessibility features are only available on Windows 11. If you want to use the newest functionality, you’ll need to upgrade your operating system.
4. Loss of technical support
Microsoft and many third-party providers are phasing out assistance for Windows 10 users. Whether it’s help from official support teams or compatibility with newer hardware, Windows 10 users will be increasingly left behind.
To learn more about the benefits, read our guide on why you should update to Windows 11.
What to do if you can't upgrade yet
Not everyone can upgrade immediately. Maybe your hardware isn’t supported, or you’re waiting to buy a new PC. If you plan to stay on Windows 10 a little longer, here are some ways to protect yourself in the meantime.
1. Use Extended Security Updates (ESU)
Microsoft offers Extended Security Updates to help Windows 10 users stay protected after support ended on October 14, 2025. There are two general pathways: free extensions (if eligible) and paid access.
Free options for home users
If you're using Windows 10 Home or Pro, you may be eligible for one year of free ESU by completing one of the following actions:
* Redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points
* Turn on Windows Backup and sync it with Microsoft OneDrive
These options are aimed at consumers and are available through Microsoft's official ESU extension page. They may only apply to certain regions or be available for a limited time. In the European Union, all users automatically receive one additional year of critical security updates through October 2026.
Paid options for ESU access
If you're not eligible for the free extension, or you prefer not to use Microsoft Rewards or OneDrive, you can purchase ESU in the following ways:
* Windows 10 Home and Pro users can pay a one-time fee of $30 USD for one year of ESU coverage. This is a consumer-level offering and does not require volume licensing.
* Windows 10 Business and Education editions must go through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Program. Pricing starts at $61 USD per device for the first year, and it doubles each year for up to three years.
Each of these options ensures continued access to critical and important security updates only, with no new features or quality-of-life improvements.
Note: Virtual machines running Windows 10 in Microsoft cloud services such as Azure receive ESU at no additional cost.
2. Disconnect your PC from the internet
If your Windows 10 PC is being used for offline tasks, like editing documents or running legacy software, you can reduce your risk by keeping it disconnected from the internet. This minimizes exposure to remote attacks, but it's not a long-term solution.
3. Switch to Linux
If your computer can’t run Windows 11 and you don’t want to pay for ESU, installing a Linux distribution is an option. Linux is free, secure, and supported by an active developer community. It's not a direct replacement for all Windows applications, but it can be a solid alternative for basic tasks like web browsing, email, and document editing.
Final thoughts: Upgrade while you still have options
Windows 10 support officially ended on October 14, 2025. If you are still using it and have not taken any action, your system is now at risk. Extended Security Updates can buy you some time, but they are limited, may cost money, and do not include new features or full support.
Upgrading to Windows 11 is the most secure and future-proof choice. If your current device is eligible, you can upgrade through Windows Update. If not, there are many Acer laptops that run Windows 11 available at a range of price points and if you have a valid university/college email you can sign up at Student Beans for a 15% discount on your next purchase from the Acer Store.
To learn more about the benefits, read our guide on why you should update to Windows 11. If you have already made the switch, here is how to set up your new Windows 11 computer/laptop.
Now is the time to act. The longer you wait, the fewer options you will have.

How to Set Up Your New Windows 11 Computer
As of October 14, 2025, Microsoft has officially stopped providing security updates and feature improvements for standard Windows 10 installations. While Extended Security Updates (ESU) are still available through paid plans or specific programs in the EU or Microsoft’s cloud services, they are limited in both scope and duration. For everyone else, upgrading or setting up a new Windows computer running Windows 11 is the safer path forward. This guide walks you through how to set up a new laptop with Windows 11, including performance, privacy, and security steps every user should follow from day one.
How to configure a new computer: 10 setup steps
1. Plug in your laptop or make sure your desktop is properly connected
Before you begin setting up a new computer, make sure your device has a reliable power source. If you're using a laptop, connect it to the charger. For desktops, double-check that all cables are securely attached, including the power cable, monitor connection, and peripherals like your keyboard and mouse.
A sudden shutdown during initial setup can lead to data corruption or incomplete configurations, so don't rely on battery power alone. It’s also a good idea to place your device in a well-ventilated area, especially if you're setting up a new PC that will handle gaming or creative workloads.
2. Update Windows 11 to the latest version
Once your new Windows computer is powered on and connected to the internet, the first thing you should do is update Windows 11. Microsoft continuously rolls out updates that include security patches, performance improvements, and new features—especially those tied to AI and Copilot+ functionality.
To check for updates:
* Go to Settings
* Select Windows Update
* Click Check for updates and install everything available
This step is essential for getting ready for Windows 11, as many Copilot features and system improvements rely on having the latest version installed. You may be prompted to restart your system one or more times. Let all updates finish before moving on to the next setup steps.
If you’re still debating the move to Windows 11, this article breaks down why now is the time to update to Windows 11.
3. Install and update your device drivers
Once Windows 11 is updated, make sure your hardware drivers are up to date. Drivers ensure your components such as the graphics card, Wi-Fi module, audio system, and peripherals work properly with your operating system.
Here’s how to update drivers:
* Open Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates to check for available driver updates
* Visit your computer manufacturer's support site for the latest drivers specific to your model
* Use dedicated tools like NVIDIA GeForce Experience or AMD Software for graphics drivers
* Restart your system after all key drivers are installed
Windows Update handles many drivers automatically. However, it may not install the most recent or optimized versions. Manually checking helps prevent compatibility issues and gives you access to performance improvements that the built-in updater might miss.
4. Strengthen your system security in Windows Security settings
Before you start installing apps or browsing the web, take a few minutes to improve your computer’s built-in defenses. Windows 11 includes several security features under the Windows Security panel that can help protect your new PC from malware, phishing, and hardware-based attacks.
Start by opening Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security, then do the following:
* Add a Microsoft account if you haven’t already, so you can sync security settings and enable device recovery
* Click App & browser control and turn on Reputation-based protection to block harmful files and untrusted apps
* Go to Device security > Core isolation and turn on Memory integrity
* In Device security, scroll down to Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection and enable it if your system supports it
These features improve system resilience against newer threats and are especially important for anyone using their new Windows computer for work, school, or online transactions.
5. Personalize your Windows 11 PC
Now that your system is secure and updated, it’s time to make your new Windows computer feel like your own. Personalization not only improves your experience but can also help boost productivity and comfort.
To start:
* Open Settings > Personalization
* Choose a theme, set your background wallpaper, and adjust colors and accent tones
* Customize the Start menu by pinning your favorite apps
* Move or remove widgets, and clean up your desktop layout
* Go to Taskbar settings to hide icons you don’t use and enable ones you do
If you're setting up a new laptop with Windows 11 for daily work or creative tasks, spending a few minutes here can help streamline your workflow and reduce clutter from the beginning.
6. Uninstall unnecessary apps and bloatware
Most new Windows computers come with preinstalled software you probably don’t need. This can include trial antivirus programs, promotional apps, and manufacturer utilities that run in the background and slow down your system.
To clean up your PC:
* Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps
* Review the list and uninstall anything you don’t recognize or plan to use
* Look for items like trial games, third-party utilities, or duplicate apps (for example, two antivirus programs)
* You can also right-click apps in the Start menu and select Uninstall
Removing bloatware helps your system boot faster, reduces background activity, and clears up disk space for the apps you actually want.
7. Disable unwanted startup apps and background services
Many new laptops and desktops load unnecessary programs at startup, which can slow down boot times and consume memory. Disabling unwanted startup apps helps your system start faster and frees up resources for the programs you actually use.
To manage startup settings:
* Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc
* Click on the Startup tab
* Right-click any app you don't need to run at startup and select Disable
* If you’re unsure about a program, search its name online before turning it off
You can also go to Settings > Apps > Startup for a more user-friendly view of which apps are enabled. Streamlining your startup process is a simple but effective way to keep your new Windows computer running smoothly.
8. Set privacy and security preferences
Taking control of your privacy settings is one of the most important parts of configuring a new computer. Windows 11 collects usage data and enables targeted ads by default, but you can adjust these settings to limit tracking and increase control over your personal information.
Start by going to Settings > Privacy & security, then review these key areas:
* General: Turn off options like “Let apps show me personalized ads by using advertising ID”
* Activity history: Disable storing activity history on the device if you prefer
* App permissions: Limit access to your location, camera, microphone, and more on a per-app basis
* Diagnostics & feedback: Switch from full diagnostics to required data only
If you're using a browser like Firefox, consider adding a content blocker such as uBlock Origin. It helps prevent tracking, blocks ads, and improves browsing speed. You can find it for free in the Firefox Add-ons store.
This is especially useful if you're setting up a new PC for work, research, or any task where privacy matters.
9. Install your essential apps and tools
Now that your system is cleaned up and secured, it’s time to install the apps you actually plan to use. What to install on a new PC depends on your habits, but there are some basics that most users will want right away.
Consider adding:
* Web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Brave
* Office suites such as Microsoft 365 or LibreOffice
* Cloud storage tools like OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive
* Media players such as VLC
* Gaming clients like Steam, Xbox, Epic Games, or GOG
* VPN software if you want extra privacy when browsing on public networks
* Creative tools like Adobe apps, GIMP, or DaVinci Resolve if you work with content
This is also a good time to sync your browser settings and log into accounts so everything is ready to go. Think about what you use daily and install those apps first to avoid cluttering your system with software you don’t need.
10. Create a backup and set up a recovery plan
Now that your new Windows computer is customized and ready, take a moment to prepare for future issues by creating a recovery plan. Backups are essential for protecting your files from hardware failure, software bugs, or accidental deletions.
To get started:
* Open Settings > System > Recovery and create a recovery drive using a USB stick
* Enable File History or use OneDrive to back up personal documents and folders
* Consider setting up System Restore points or using Windows Backup for full-image backups
* Store important recovery passwords or encryption keys somewhere safe
If you ever need to reset your system or recover from a crash, these tools can save hours of frustration. It’s a step many users skip when setting up a new PC, but it becomes invaluable when something goes wrong.
Final thoughts: Keep your system safe, fast, and ready
Setting up a new computer is more than just turning it on and logging in. Each step, from updating Windows 11 and installing drivers to adjusting privacy settings and creating backups, helps ensure your system is secure, responsive, and tailored to your needs.
If you're still running Windows 10, consider signing up for Extended Security Updates. These are available for free in the EU and through certain Microsoft cloud programs, but only for a limited time. Running an outdated system without updates puts your computer at serious risk. The safer option is to upgrade or replace your current device.
If you haven’t made the move yet, now is the time to update to Windows 11 or choose from a range of Acer laptops that run Windows 11. If you want to check out more Acer products make sure to check out our store page. For students, with a valid college/university email, you can get 15% off your next Acer computer purchase by signing up via Student Beans.

Major AAA Gaming Flops of 2025
2025 has been packed with massive game releases, from long-awaited sequels to brand-new IPs. Some, like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades 2, and Hollow Knight: Silksong, have pushed the boundaries of creativity and lived up to their potential. Others have pushed players to the brink of frustration. A handful of titles carried enormous hype but landed with a dull thud. Whether they were technical messes, commercial flops, or simply disappointing follow-ups, these games quickly earned a spot among the biggest gaming flops of the year.
Some failed despite strong ideas. Others stumbled out of the gate with broken mechanics, messy launches, or poor business models. In a year loaded with high expectations, the biggest game flops of 2025 serve as a reminder that no franchise or studio is too big to fall.
So what makes a video game flop?
Not every bad game is a flop, and not every flop is a bad game. Sometimes, a project delivers solid gameplay but misses its commercial mark. Other times, it’s the complete opposite like a marketing success with broken systems underneath. For this list, we looked at three key failure points:
* Poor sales: A game doesn’t need to be unplayable to fail. If it can’t recoup its budget or meet expectations from publishers and investors, it’s a commercial flop.
* Unoptimized or buggy gameplay: Bugs, stuttering, crashes, or poor frame rates can make even good games feel unplayable. Technical issues are still a major dealbreaker in 2025.
* Shallow or broken game design: Good ideas fall flat without strong execution. Games that feel clunky, dull, or outdated lose players quickly.
* Fails to live up to its predecessor: Sequels carry expectations. If a new entry feels like a step backward or abandons what made the original great, fans will walk away.
* Bad value or aggressive monetization: Games that hide core content behind paywalls or overpriced DLC packs feel like cash grabs. A lack of meaningful content in the base game is also a red flag.
Most of the biggest gaming flops of 2025 fall into one or more of these categories. Some hit several at once. Let’s start with the mildest disappointment on the list and work our way toward the real disasters.
Biggest AAA gaming flops of 2025
7. Monster Hunter Wilds
Monster Hunter Wilds is not a bad game. At its core, it's a visually ambitious, content-rich title that builds on Capcom’s proven formula. But for PC players, it has become a symbol of frustration. Eight months after launch, the game still runs poorly for a large part of the community. Despite three major updates, Capcom has failed to deliver the one thing players have asked for since day one: a properly optimized PC port.
Performance issues dominate the conversation. Stuttering, low frame rates, heavy reliance on DLSS, and blurry visuals affect even mid-range and high-end machines. Capcom's RE Engine, while impressive in smaller titles like Resident Evil, struggles to handle the open-world scale of Monster Hunter Wilds. The game’s third update led to over 1,500 negative Steam reviews in a single day. Some users even reported the game running worse after the patch.
Capcom has promised fixes in Title Update 4, but trust is wearing thin. The game launched strong with 10 million units sold in its first month, including 8 million in the first three days. However, only 477,000 copies sold between April and June. That is a sharp drop and reflects a deeper issue than content fatigue.
The gameplay itself is not the problem. Many console players continue to enjoy the hunt. But when performance problems persist for this long, they become the story. Monster Hunter Wilds shows how technical issues and poor communication can sink momentum, even for a giant like Capcom.
6. Avowed
Avowed had every reason to succeed. A respected studio, years of development, major backing from Microsoft, and the legacy of Pillars of Eternity behind it. But after all the buildup, Obsidian’s fantasy RPG landed with a shrug. The result was a technically rough, creatively scaled-down title that failed to meet expectations, both from long-time fans and the broader RPG audience.
The signs were there. Avowed went through multiple reboots, changed directors, and scrapped its original vision for a massive open-world multiplayer experience. The final version replaced that ambition with a zone-based structure closer to The Outer Worlds. The darker, more serious tone from the 2020 teaser was also gone, swapped out for a more colorful, slightly cartoonish art style that confused fans expecting something closer to Skyrim.
At launch, reviews were mixed to positive, with critics landing around 80 on average. But even the positive reviews came with qualifiers. Players were less forgiving. Performance issues, long load times, stuttering, and minor bugs frustrated PC users. Combat was flashy at first, but became repetitive fast. Dialogue choices and character backgrounds had little impact. Towns felt static. Exploration was limited. For an Obsidian game, it lacked soul.
Obsidian pitched Avowed as a narrative-focused RPG. What players got felt closer to a Game Pass filler title. Within a week, active player numbers dropped sharply. Steam reviews skewed mixed, and discussion forums filled with complaints about the shallow systems and lack of immersion. Meanwhile, Microsoft touted 5 million players in its first month, but most had accessed it through Game Pass, not full-price purchases.
Technically, Avowed is playable. But for a game sold at $70 and marketed as a flagship RPG, that is not enough. The final product felt like a compromise, built on years of internal struggle and creative resets. It didn’t crash or burn. It just quietly fell flat.
5. Little Nightmares 3
By the time Little Nightmares 3 was announced, the franchise had already earned its place as one of the most distinctive horror platformers of the past decade. Fans expected a return to unsettling worlds, eerie sound design, and silent storytelling. What they got instead felt like a diluted imitation.
The problems started with the change in developer. With Tarsier Studios moving on, Supermassive Games took over and tried to emulate the formula. The result checked the right boxes visually, but lacked the atmospheric precision of the first two entries. Gone was the sense of dread. Gone was the feeling that everything in the world wanted you dead. Instead, players encountered disconnected enemies, confusing level pacing, and environments that looked the part but lacked tension.
Some of the new monsters, like the steam-avoidant supervisor or the oversized nursery baby, leaned too hard into spectacle. The menace was gone. Others simply ignored the player, leaving many sequences feeling lifeless. Even the AI companion system, meant to support online co-op, often broke immersion through glitches or awkward puzzle solutions. With no local co-op available at launch, solo players bore the brunt of the rough design.
Where the previous games thrived on ambiguity, Little Nightmares 3 leans heavily on outside media. Major plot elements are locked behind a companion podcast, and in-game storytelling feels gutted as a result. Instead of sparking theories, the narrative delivers explanations. Instead of mystery, there’s marketing.
By the time the credits roll, players are left not with answers or closure, but a roadmap for paid DLC. The base game feels like setup. The ending lacks emotional weight. What was once a masterclass in environmental storytelling has become a platform for franchise maintenance.
Little Nightmares 3 isn't broken, but it misunderstands what fans valued. It plays it safe, loses its identity, and drifts into mediocrity.
4. Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Ubisoft wanted Assassin’s Creed Shadows to be a fresh start. A full-priced, next-gen only title with a brand-new setting, two protagonists, and refined stealth-action gameplay. Instead, it became one of the year’s most polarizing releases and an example of how ambition without clarity can backfire.
Set in Sengoku-era Japan, Shadows introduces two main characters: Yasuke, a real historical figure reimagined as a slow, heavy bruiser, and Naoe, a fictional female shinobi with the agility and stealth mechanics more familiar to series veterans. In theory, this duality could have added depth. In practice, the split created friction. Naoe often felt sidelined in her own arc, while Yasuke's brute-force combat style clashed with the series' long-standing stealth identity.
Players were confused by the tone. The game mixed stylized combat with serious historical references but never struck a consistent voice. Level design leaned heavily into forced combat zones, and enemy AI remained weak. The open world was detailed but sparse. Side content quickly grew repetitive. Despite being marketed as the next evolution of Assassin’s Creed, it lacked the systems and polish that defined earlier titles like Origins or Odyssey.
The backlash was swift. Longtime fans criticized the decision to sideline Japanese stealth fantasy in favor of a combat-heavy approach. Others pointed to the awkward pacing, shallow RPG mechanics, and clunky character switching. Even the marketing came under fire, with trailers that oversold player freedom and underdelivered on mechanics at launch.
Sales reflected the reception. Ubisoft had projected Shadows to be one of its top sellers of the year. Instead, it sold just 2.4 million copies in its first six weeks. That was a steep drop compared to Valhalla. In response, Tencent invested €1.16 billion into a Ubisoft subsidiary to stabilize the franchise and retool future titles. Publicly, Ubisoft called it a restructuring. Internally, it looked more like damage control.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not the worst game of the year. But it failed to live up to its legacy, missed the mark on core mechanics, and left the fanbase divided. That alone makes it one of the most notable video game flops of 2025.
3. FBC: Firebreak
Few games this year flamed out as fast as FBC: Firebreak. Marketed as a high-octane, multiplayer-centric tactical shooter, it hit the scene with aggressive promotion and some early buzz. But within weeks of release, that buzz turned to silence and then to ridicule.
Firebreak was supposed to combine tight gunplay, dynamic maps, and a near-future dystopian setting. Instead, players got a shallow, chaotic experience that felt more like a budget beta than a finished product. Movement was clunky. Gunplay lacked impact. The game struggled to find an identity, bouncing between hero shooter and tactical sim without committing to either.
Worse, it launched with severe technical issues. Matchmaking failed regularly. Hit registration was unreliable. Servers were inconsistent at best and unplayable at worst. Even after emergency patches, the experience remained frustrating.
The monetization didn’t help. Cosmetics were overpriced, and the in-game store pushed bundles more aggressively than any actual gameplay. There was no real incentive to grind, and no reason to stick around after the first week.
Critics were unkind, and players were even less forgiving. Steam reviews tanked. Twitch interest disappeared. Within a month, its active player base dropped by over 80 percent. The developers promised a roadmap, but by then, most players had already uninstalled.
FBC: Firebreak didn’t just underdeliver. It failed to justify its existence in a crowded market. No unique hook, no standout mechanics, and no staying power. It will likely be remembered as one of 2025’s fastest-burning video game flops.
2. Civilization VII
Firaxis had a golden opportunity with Civilization VII, a chance to modernize a legendary series and bring in a new generation of strategy fans. Instead, they delivered a game that confused veterans, bored newcomers, and cratered player counts within weeks.
Its biggest issue was identity. The age-based system, which reset objectives every few turns, stripped away the long-term planning that made the franchise famous. Gone was the feeling of building something lasting. Instead, every era felt like a timed challenge with arbitrary rules, undermining progression and making tech trees, wonders, and even early-game choices feel disposable.
Players noticed. The game peaked at 85,000 concurrent players on Steam, then dropped below 9,000 within a month. Civ VI, now eight years old, consistently performs better. On PlayStation, it debuted at number 125 during its launch week. For comparison, Civ VI sold over a million PC copies in its first two weeks.
Meanwhile, the split between leaders and civilizations was marketed as innovation but came off like monetization in disguise. Bundles priced at $30 offered thin content, often launching with bugs or missing features. Even core mechanics like city-states and religion were underdeveloped. Diplomacy was forgettable. The AI still couldn’t manage a war. Victory types felt either broken or irrelevant.
Firaxis promised updates, but fans weren’t waiting. Most went back to Civ VI or left the genre entirely.
What makes Civ VII sting isn’t just that it launched rough. It abandoned the magic that made Civ what it was. Ambition is welcome, but not at the cost of fun.
1. MindsEye
There was real hope that MindsEye, the debut from Build A Rocket Boy, would revive the cinematic open-world action game. Instead, it turned into one of the most baffling failures of 2025.
It began with potential. The prologue was tense and stylish, setting up a near-future techno-thriller about a military drone pilot who loses his connection to a powerful neural implant. The early promise didn’t last. What followed was a bloated mess of half-baked ideas, glib dialogue, and an increasingly absurd plot involving cyborg soldiers and a military coup in a city modeled after Las Vegas.
Critics were harsh. Eurogamer called it “an unmitigated disaster,” and the combat was universally panned as some of the worst in recent AAA history. The main character lacked basic abilities like dodging, melee attacks, or throwing grenades. He couldn’t even enter cars from the passenger side without awkward pathing. The drone mechanic, positioned as a signature feature, felt undercooked and unengaging.
The world itself, Redrock City, looked impressive on the surface but lacked meaningful interaction. Players were constantly pressured to move between missions, with no incentive to explore. Driving was one of the few highlights, thanks to a surprisingly responsive vehicle model, but car chases were rare and often poorly designed.
Side missions introduced the game's creation tools, meant to empower player-made content, but these segments were riddled with sloppy pacing and confusing design. One of the first optional missions lasted under two minutes and involved shooting poorly placed enemies in a lifeless environment. Other side content was equally hollow and failed to showcase the tools’ creative potential.
MindsEye didn’t chart on major sales rankings and failed to gain any traction on Twitch or YouTube post-launch. For a game designed to launch a new platform and studio, it landed with almost no impact. Instead of feeling like a spiritual successor to GTA or Cyberpunk 2077, it felt more like an empty tech demo trying to impersonate better games from the past.
Conclusion
In 2025, even the biggest studios with massive budgets and trusted franchises could not guarantee success. Titles like MindsEye, Civilization VII, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and FBC: Firebreak show how rapidly things can go wrong when innovation misfires, systems collapse, or core gameplay is ignored. These games didn’t just miss the mark, they lost the trust of players who had once believed in them.
What stands out is not the ambition, but the execution. These failures are reminders that high expectations, expansive design, and a strong legacy are not enough without polish, meaningful mechanics, and a coherent vision. In a crowded market, survival depends on more than hype.

EA Games is Going Private! Saudi-led Companies Buying Out EA Games
Electronic Arts will leave public markets in a $55 billion, all-cash buyout. The buyers are Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners. They will pay $210 per share if the deal closes after approvals. EA will stay in Redwood City, and Andrew Wilson will remain CEO. The deal is one of the largest take-privates in gaming and tech.
Why this buyout is happening
Stable cash from live-service games. EA earns steady money from EA Sports FC, Madden, Apex Legends, and other online titles. These games sell updates, passes, and content over time. That steady flow supports big upfront financing.
Stronger control of valuable IP. The new owners get franchises that work across console, PC, and mobile. They can license, co-produce, and expand these brands into more products and services.
Strategic push from Saudi Arabia. The Public Investment Fund is building a global footprint in games and esports. Owning EA fits that plan and connects to other gaming assets in its network.
Freedom from quarterly pressure. Private ownership reduces the need to hit short-term targets. EA can delay releases, cut weak projects, and back riskier ideas without public market swings.
Financing at scale. The group is combining large equity checks with committed bank debt. That mix lowers execution risk and helps justify the premium price per share.
Who is buying EA and why
Electronic Arts is being taken private by a three-member group: Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, U.S.-based Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners. The trio is paying cash for control of EA’s catalog and the steady income that comes from long-running sports and online franchises. The structure gives them room to reorganize the business outside the glare of quarterly earnings.
PIF represents Saudi Arabia and is central to the country’s Vision 2030 push to diversify beyond oil. Its strategy in games is scale, talent, and global IP ownership. EA fits that playbook. Owning the publisher puts Saudi capital behind sports and shooter brands that already sell worldwide, and it opens paths to jobs, training, and future studios in markets the fund is targeting.
Silver Lake is a large American private equity firm focused on technology platforms. Its role is to bring operating discipline, digital growth tactics, and add-on deals where they boost margins or expand reach. Expect attention on live-service pipelines, user retention, and mobile extensions where unit economics are strongest.
Affinity Partners adds flexible growth capital and governance support. In a deal this size, a third partner helps balance risk, fund future projects, and keep the board aligned while management restructures timelines and spending.
The combined motive is straightforward: durable cash flows from evergreen games, more monetization across console, PC, and mobile, and the freedom to shift roadmaps without stock-price whiplash. EA’s brands already engage players for years. Private ownership lets the new backers press that advantage while they prune weaker bets and double down on what scales.
How much is the EA sale and when will it be finalized
The group is offering $210 per share in cash, valuing EA at about $55 billion. Funding mixes roughly $36 billion of equity with $20 billion of committed bank debt. EA remains based in Redwood City with Andrew Wilson as CEO. Target close is Q1 FY27, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
With EA trading at $200 on October 10, 2025, the spread to the offer is about 5% in gross terms if it closes at $210. That potential pickup sits more than a year out given the Q1 FY27 timeline.
What popular games/franchises will the new owners get?
Under the new owners, control will center on EA-owned franchises with large, durable audiences and proven live-service or sequel economics; the core titles includes:
* Apex Legends
* Battlefield
* The Sims
* Need for Speed
* Mass Effect
* Dragon Age
* Titanfall
* Plants vs. Zombies
* Command & Conquer
* Dead Space
Several major series rely on third-party licenses and are not EA-owned IP. The buyers will control these only through EA’s publishing and licensing agreements, not through ownership: Madden NFL (NFL/NFLPA), EA Sports FC’s league and club rights, F1 (Formula One), NHL (NHL/NHLPA), UFC, College Football, and Star Wars Jedi (Disney/Lucasfilm). Continuation depends on contract terms, renewals, and licensor approvals.
What this likely means for EA games
Expect tighter roadmaps, fewer bets, and deeper support for live services that already scale. Sports annuals and shooters should get longer content cycles, more cross-play features, and heavier mobile tie-ins. Single-player flagships will ship less often but with clearer budgets and milestones. Older brands may be remastered or mobile-first if unit economics work.
Operational discipline will rise. Studio headcounts and project lists will be rationalized. Metrics such as retention, ARPU, and content throughput will drive greenlights. Hiring and culture will refocus on delivery speed, technical craft, and cost control. External signaling will matter less than output and quality. The short-term path is consolidation; the medium-term path is selective risk on new IP once debt and pipelines stabilize.
Conclusion
This deal takes EA off the quarterly treadmill and gives the teams room to fix pipelines and ship stronger games. I personally believe this will make EA’s releases better over the next few years. If you’re gearing up for them, Acer’s Predator and Nitro laptops and desktops are the safe bet for smooth play; check them out now!

An Introduction to Acer’s Key Brands
This article introduces Acer’s diverse family of brands, a tech ecosystem that goes far beyond laptops. From grizzled gamers and digital artists to students and professionals on the move, each Acer brand serves a unique purpose and audience.
Welcome to Acer Corner. Whether you came here to learn about Acer or stumbled in while searching for maple trees, you’re in the right place. In the following sections, we’ll explore Acer’s lineup of products and services, from everyday laptops to high-end creative tools and enterprise solutions, and see what makes each branch of the Acer family stand out.
Acer
Before we discuss Predator, AOPEN, and SpatialLabs, let’s cover the fundamentals of Acer, the core brand. Acer’s mission has always been to break barriers between people and technology. Broadly speaking, Acer provides the technology that makes modern life, well, modern. Acer laptops, desktops, monitors, projectors, and accessories balance performance, portability, and price.
Whatever your tech needs are, Acer’s main product line has got you covered. Aspire laptops maximize productivity at home or in the office, while the Swift range prioritizes portability and sleek design. For eco-devices with true green credentials, Acer’s Vero range ticks the sustainability boxes. Acer Chromebooks deliver hassle-free computing for students, cloud workers and anyone who needs out of the box performance. Acer is the foundation upon which all of the other brands are built.
Predator
When Acer decided to stride into the gaming arena, it didn’t just add RGB lighting and call it a day. Oh no, it spawned Predator, a brand forged specifically for all-round winners and esports professionals. Predator gaming machines pack a punch and are unapologetically powerful. These are devices that stand out from the crowd, if you’ve seen a Predator desktop or laptop you won’t soon forget it.
Under the hood, it’s all about speed, control, and responsiveness: Intel Core Ultra processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs, advanced cooling systems, and high-refresh displays. From the portable behemoths like Helios and Triton laptop lines to desk-dominating lightning-fast gaming monitors, every Predator product is engineered to prevail. Predator accessories include mechanical keyboards, precision mice, and even gaming chairs to complete the ecosystem. Predator means play without limits, whether you’re earning your crust in an online tournament or just taking over the world on a leisurely afternoon.
Nitro
If Predator is the great white shark then Nitro is the tiger shark: still powerful, but slightly less intimidating and friendlier on your wallet. Nitro was built for gamers who want high-quality, reliable performance without breaking the bank. For a clearer breakdown of the differences between Predator and Nitro, check out this informative article.
The Nitro family includes laptops, desktops, and monitors that make gaming accessible to the masses. If you’re just getting started gaming, or are a hobby gamer, Nitro delivers entry level excellence, with stylish design, solid GPUs, and efficient cooling all tuned for smooth gaming experiences. Nitro laptops like the Nitro V and Nitro 16 balance everyday productivity with serious gaming ability, helping you edit, stream, and play without breaking a sweat (or the bank).
Planet9
There are no physical products in the Planet9 world. Acer’s esports platform is your ticket to stay ahead of the latest developments in gaming. Planet9 is equal parts blog, news hub, training ground, and community space, the connective tissue between Acer’s gaming hardware and the players who use it.
Venture to Planet9, to form and join teams, analyse match data, follow tournaments, and track the latest worldwide esports news. This is a hub designed to help both new and experienced players refine their skills, find teammates, and even connect with coaches. While we all dig Acer’s gaming machines, Planet9 is the social space where the people of the gaming community can flourish.
AOPEN
If you’re still with us, congratulations, for our final brand today is AOPEN, Acer’s displays and monitor specialist. Even if you haven’t heard of the name AOPEN, you’ve likely seen an AOPEN display, as they are the force powering much of the planet’s visual experience.
Originally a standalone company, AOPEN is now an integral part of the Acer empire, creating monitors that serve both commercial and gaming needs. From durable digital signage and business monitors, to high-refresh rate gaming displays, AOPEN represents clarity, reliability, and value. AOPEN also makes industrial PCs and all-in-one computers, so next time you see a gamer’s setup, retail store display, or office workstation, there’s a high chance it's and AOPEN!
One tree, many branches
We hope you enjoyed our journey through the forest of Acer brands today. If you came here in search of maple trees, you likely discovered something new, all growing from the same Acer roots. From the unhinged power of Predator, to the accessibility of Nitro, Acer has gaming covered.

Acer Chromebook Tab 311 – The First Chromebook Tablet from Acer
Chromebook tabs are powered by Google and use ChromeOS for browsing and light tasks, and in this article, we’ll introduce Acer’s first Chromebook tablet, the Acer Chromebook Tab 311, explain how it differs from a regular tablet, and cover its features and specifications. In true Chromebook style, Chromebook tabs encourage cloud-based storage to free up and preserve storage space. Regular tablets usually run Android or iPadOS and rely more on local storage, although cloud options are still available.
Why should you get a Chromebook tab?
Chromebooks are a great choice if you want something that fits nicely between a smartphone and a laptop. They are lightweight and portable, and support productivity by offering fast boot times. Here are some more reasons why you might want to put a Chromebook tablet on your wishlist.
1. Like a mini laptop
Just add a detachable keyboard and voila! You now have a mini laptop-like device. This makes Chromebook tabs suitable for tasks like creating documents and sending emails. Moreover, using a keyboard for such tasks may be more comfortable than a touchscreen and stylus, like with regular tablets. Chromebook tabs are more than just a transportable device that lets you take photos and play games; they are mini laptops that let you work while on the go.
2. Support web-based work
Whether you are a student or company employee, Chromebook tabs support web-based work via Google Workspace. This means that users can create, edit, and amend documents on Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and collaborate with classmates or co-workers remotely. Moreover, everything gets saved on the cloud, which frees up local storage space.
3. Long battery life
Chromebook tabs may be small, but they have a long battery life of around 10 hours. They are the perfect travel companion for long-haul flights or commutes, and they help you breeze through days of meetings or classes without needing your power adapter.
Introducing the Acer Chromebook Tab 311
The Acer Chromebook Tab 311 is a sleek tablet designed with connectivity and productivity in mind. It offers 10 hours of battery life to support a full day of work or classes, and has a standard 8 GB memory and flash memory capacity of 128 GB to store apps and photos. The Acer Chromebook Tab 311 includes a handy dockable stylus pen and magnetic keyboard, letting you choose an input method that is most comfortable for you. At just 1.34 lbs (0.60 kg), this Chromebook tab is featherlight but still packs a serious punch in terms of usability.

So, should you buy a Chromebook tab?
Chromebook tabs are an outstanding middle ground between a smartphone and a laptop.

Like standard Chromebooks and Chromebook Plus devices, Chromebook tabs are fully compatible with Google Workspace, allowing you to create, edit, and collaborate on Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

European Union Forces Microsoft to Provide Free Windows 10 Security Updates
Microsoft is making Windows 10 Extended Security Updates free for consumers in the European Economic Area (EEA) after pressure under the EU’s Digital Markets Act, just ahead of Windows 10’s end of support on October 14, 2025. EEA users can enroll for critical security patches without Microsoft Rewards, OneDrive backup, or a $30 fee, while users elsewhere still face those original conditions. In this guide, we explain what Windows 10 EOS means, why Europe gets free coverage, and how EU residents can enroll. We will also teach readers outside the EU several legitimate ways to secure free Windows 10 updates, so read on to learn more.
What is Windows 10 end of support (EOS)?
Windows 10 reaches end of support on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft stops delivering new features, routine bug fixes, and free security patches through Windows Update. Your PC will continue to run, but it will become increasingly vulnerable unless you enroll in Extended Security Updates or upgrade to Windows 11. The final consumer release of Windows 10 is version 22H2.
Extended Security Updates, or ESU, is a separate program that provides critical and important security fixes only. It does not include new features or general support. For most consumers, ESU currently runs for one year after EOS, through October 13, 2026. Businesses can purchase up to three years of ESU coverage.
Outside Europe, Microsoft offers three enrollment paths for ESU. You can sync PC settings with the Windows Backup app, redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, or pay a one-time $30 fee.
In the European Economic Area, Microsoft removed those conditions and made ESU free after complaints under the EU’s Digital Markets Act. Consumers in the EEA do not need OneDrive backup, Rewards points, or payment to enroll.
Why Europeans get it free and how to enroll if you live in the EU
Microsoft made Windows 10 Extended Security Updates free for consumers in the European Economic Area after complaints that tying security updates to OneDrive backup, Microsoft Rewards, or a $30 fee could violate the EU’s Digital Markets Act. The result is simple. If you live in the EEA, you can enroll at no cost and receive critical and important security fixes through October 13, 2026.
Who qualifies
* You are physically located in an EEA country and your device runs Windows 10 version 22H2.
* You use a Microsoft account on the device.
How to enroll
* Open Settings on your Windows 10 PC.
* Go to Update & Security and look for Extended Security Updates or follow the enrollment prompt in Windows Update.
* Sign in with your Microsoft account if you are not already signed in.
* Complete the on-screen steps to join ESU. There is no fee and no requirement to back up with Windows Backup or redeem Microsoft Rewards.
Keep your coverage active
* Use the device and sign in with your Microsoft account periodically. Microsoft may require you to sign in at least once every 60 days to remain eligible.
* Install updates when Windows Update offers them.
What you get
* Critical and important security updates only.
* No new features, quality updates, or standard support.
Tip. If you do not see the ESU option immediately, check Windows Update again later or ensure you are on version 22H2.
How to get free Windows 10 updates if you live outside the EU
You can still enroll in Extended Security Updates at no cost using Microsoft’s approved paths. First make sure your PC is on Windows 10 version 22H2 and that you are signed in with a Microsoft account on the device.
Option 1. Microsoft Rewards
* Join Microsoft Rewards with the same Microsoft account used on your Windows 10 PC.
* Earn 1,000 points using Bing searches, daily sets, and quizzes.
* On your PC, open Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update and start Extended Security Updates enrollment.
* Choose the Rewards option and confirm redemption. The system will verify your points and activate ESU.
Option 2. Windows Backup to OneDrive
* Open the Windows Backup app and sign in to OneDrive with the same Microsoft account on your PC.
* Complete a lightweight backup of settings and essentials so it fits within the 5 GB free OneDrive tier. Exclude large folders you do not need.
* Go to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update, start Extended Security Updates, and select the Backup option to activate ESU.
If neither path works
You can pay the one-time $30 fee during ESU enrollment to receive one year of updates.
Should you still upgrade your computer?
Yes. ESU only delivers critical and important security fixes for a limited time and does not include new features or most quality updates. Upgrading to Windows 11 extends your support window and adds modern security protections.
Future-proof your setup with an Acer Copilot+ PC
Copilot+ PCs pair modern CPUs with an on-device NPU for AI features, strong battery life, and longer support horizons. If your current PC passes the Windows 11 checks, you can upgrade in place. If it does not, stepping up to an Acer Copilot+ PC gets you current security standards, fast NVMe storage, Wi-Fi 6/7 options, and hardware built for the latest Windows features.
For help picking the right model, see Acer’s official 2025 Copilot+ PC buyer’s guide.
Conclusion
The EU’s pressure changed Microsoft’s plan. If you live in the EEA, you can enroll in Windows 10 Extended Security Updates at no cost through October 13, 2026, with a simple sign-in to your Microsoft account. Outside Europe, you still have legitimate paths to get ESU for free using Microsoft Rewards or Windows Backup, or you can pay the $30 fee. We covered each path above and we also show several other ways to secure free updates if you are not in the EU.
ESU is a short bridge, not a destination. If your device can run Windows 11, upgrade for stronger security and a longer support runway. If it cannot, consider a new machine that is ready for current features and support. Before you move, review this checklist to see what your options are before Windows 10 support ends.
