Another Elder Scrolls Game Set To Be Unplayable Later This Year

Google Play changes may render Daggerfall Unity Android unplayable. Google announced it will phase out sideloading apps from unverified developers on Android devices, encouraging the use of the Google Play store. This move has attracted criticism from developers and users. Daggerfall Unity Android cannot be published on the Google Play Store due to copyright reasons and cannot be emulated via a Rom. The game may become unplayable on mobile unless Google clarifies if sideloading apps will still be allowed.

Todd Howard says Starfield’s NG+ was misunderstood and defends Bethesda’s new U-turn on how it works: ‘You can tell us if we’re done our job right’

Starfield's Free Lanes update enhances the New Game Plus (NG+) mode by allowing players to retain up to 50 items when entering The Unity, a multiverse nexus that resets the game while keeping character skills and abilities. This change addresses player concerns about losing hard-earned possessions, which was previously seen as a daunting sacrifice. The update also introduces X-Tech for further upgrades to existing gear, aiming to reward players without frustrating them by losing progress. Bethesda's director, Todd Howard, and creative producer, Tim Lamb, emphasize the importance of evolving the gameplay experience and encouraging players to engage with the game's NG+ features.

This ‘highly realistic’ city-builder could be the first real competition Cities: Skylines has seen in over a decade

City Masterplan is a newly unveiled metropolis simulator that offers expansive environmental canvases measuring 24x24 km, allowing players to design urban landscapes in various architectural styles. The game features a visual aesthetic similar to Cities: Skylines 2, with realistic skies, dynamic lighting, and immersive weather conditions. It is built on the Unreal Engine, which may present performance challenges. As Cities: Skylines approaches its twelfth anniversary, there is a demand for a fresh city-building experience, with City Masterplan potentially revitalizing the genre. There is no official release date, but speculation suggests a launch not before 2027.

Recent changes have simplified citizen modeling and improved pathing, leading to a better gameplay experience. The game's Steam rating has shifted from 'Mixed' to 'Mostly Positive.' Iceflake has developed a benchmarking tool to collect performance data, which will be integrated into an upcoming patch.

Rust’s Spring Clean update nerfs the shield meta and boosts early game energy

The Rust April update introduces several enhancements, including the new Water Wheel, a renewable energy source that generates up to 30 power when placed in a river. The update features a new craftable item, the Armored Ladder Hatch, which requires 60 Scrap, 35 High-Quality Metal, six Gears, and a Wooden Ladder. Adjustments to shield mechanics have been made, reducing the hitbox size when the shield is not actively held. A tech-tree unlock chaining feature allows players to unlock an entire research path at once if they have enough Scrap. A new radial menu for low-light solutions enables individual control of light sources. Fishing mechanics have been adjusted to prevent overfishing, with server admins able to modify this feature. Additional updates include new colored buttons, improved UI elements, and a transition to a new terrain rendering system for better CPU performance. The update coincides with an Easter Egg Hunt event running until April 16, featuring themed cosmetics.

Google Brings Vibe Coding to XR: Build VR Apps in Under a Minute

Google is introducing Vibe Coding XR, an experimental workflow that allows users to create virtual reality (VR) applications from simple text prompts in under a minute. This approach, part of a trend called "vibe coding," uses artificial intelligence to interpret user intent rather than relying on traditional coding. It leverages Gemini AI models and the open-source framework XR Blocks, which consist of pre-constructed modules for various functionalities. Users can generate diverse scenarios, such as a physics lab or a Schrödinger’s Cat simulation, by describing their desired scene. Vibe Coding XR is designed for Android XR, particularly optimized for the Samsung Galaxy XR headset, but also offers a simulated reality environment for desktop Chrome. Internal evaluations show that the Gemini Flash model can create prototypes in about 20 seconds, while the Gemini Pro model is preferred for complex tasks. Vibe Coding XR is intended as a rapid prototyping tool for educators and developers, not as a replacement for professional developers. Google plans to showcase this technology at the ACM CHI 2026 conference from April 13 to April 17.
