Subnautica 2 multiplayer explained – crossplay and four-player co-op

Subnautica 2 introduces multiplayer functionality, allowing players to explore underwater landscapes with up to three friends. The game maintains a design that ensures all single-player features are available in multiplayer without exclusive elements. Players can switch between single-player and multiplayer modes, converting existing saves or creating new ones. Friends can join a player's world but may be able to take resources. The game is fundamentally designed as a single-player experience, preserving moments of solitude. Subnautica 2 supports cross-play between Xbox and PC users, with a friends list system for connecting across platforms. Future expansions to other platforms are expected to maintain this cross-play capability. Players should check system requirements for compatibility.

Microsoft adds Windows protections for malicious Remote Desktop files

Microsoft has introduced new security measures for Windows 10 and Windows 11 to protect against phishing attacks that exploit Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection files. These updates, part of the April 2026 cumulative updates (KB5082200, KB5083769, and KB5082052), include a one-time educational prompt for users upon first opening an RDP file, requiring acknowledgment of the associated risks. Subsequent attempts to open RDP files will display a security dialog with information about the file's publisher, the remote system address, and local resource redirections, with options disabled by default. If an RDP file is unsigned, a warning will indicate an "Unknown remote connection." These protections apply only to connections initiated through RDP files, not through the Windows Remote Desktop client, and can be temporarily disabled via the Windows Registry.

Want to pause Windows 11 updates for as long as you want? Your wish could soon come true

Microsoft is introducing new update management features for Windows 11, allowing users to pause updates more easily.

The upcoming changes aim to provide Home users with longer and simpler pause options, addressing concerns about disruptions from updates. Users will have the discretion to delay updates while balancing the need for timely security patches.

If you love Diablo 4’s Necromancer, the next Titan Quest 2 update is made for you

Titan Quest 2 is an action role-playing game developed by Grimlore Games, focusing on core elements from the original game while avoiding the live-service model. The game is currently in early access, with an update scheduled for April that will introduce two major features: summons and talismans. Each mastery will include a summon skill with new passive abilities, allowing for diverse playstyles. Summons will function similarly to auras, requiring energy management, and the game will automatically re-summon fallen minions. The five current masteries and their summons include: - Storm: Wisps that unleash lightning strikes. - Warfare: War Banner that heals and buffs allies or debuffs foes. - Forge: Automaton, a customizable mechanical ally. - Earth: Core Dweller, a rock golem that deals damage. - Rogue: Shadow Clone that mirrors the player’s gear. The update will also introduce talismans for mages, replacing traditional shields and enhancing energy reserves. Additionally, there will be an overhaul of epic items, with significant buffs and reworks to improve their effects. Other enhancements include new affixes on gear and revamped implicits on staves for casters. The exact release date of the update is not specified, but it is described as "nearly ready for release."

Privacy Messenger Session Is Staring Down a 90-Day Countdown to Obscurity

The messaging app Session, which prioritizes user privacy and offers end-to-end encryption without requiring personal information for registration, is facing potential closure and has issued a call for support. The Session Technology Foundation (STF) has received funding to support operations for 90 days but will rely on volunteers after all paid staff have been let go. Development activities have paused due to insufficient funding, affecting the introduction of new features and the resolution of existing bugs. The STF has stated that it needs million to complete ongoing projects and introduce a subscription model to achieve self-sustainability. As of now, 0,000 has been raised towards this goal.

Tap n’ go: Android’s rumored ‘Tap to Share’ UI might’ve just broken cover

A new report highlights Google's "Tap to Share" feature, which includes a redesigned sharing menu that aligns with Android 16 aesthetics. Users will initiate the transfer process by overlapping their devices, which will emit a glow to indicate successful completion. The user interface features a straightforward sub-menu with three selectable options for sharing. The upcoming Galaxy S26 series will have dual antennas to support this feature. The process may utilize NFC technology, with potential future iterations using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The design of the sub-menu has been refined to match Android 16's visual elements.
