VALORANT Patch 13.08 kicks off Act 6 with Map Rating, Corrode changes, a fresh map rotation, and several fixes. Riot also shared a major enforcement update, revealing 171,000+ cheating bans during Act 5’s detection period. In brief: Riot detailed bans for cheating, botting, rank manipulation, toxicity, and gameplay abuse. Map Rating gives players a score and grade for their performance on individual maps. Corrode gets layout changes, while Bind and Corrode replace Ascent and Split in the rotation. Fixes address gameplay audio, the Masterful accolade, and Warden’s scope reticle. Cheat Detection and Reporting: Riot Reveals Act 5 Ban Numbers The enforcement report is a standout part of Patch 13.08. Riot’s figures cover August 18 to October 1, 2026, and count accounts banned from playing VALORANT for three days or longer. These are enforcement results from that period, rather than a single ban wave arriving with this patch. ViolationReported bansCheating171,000+Botting54,000+Rank manipulation, including boosters, boostees, hitchhikers, and wintraders76,000+Toxicity or communication abuse74,000+Repeated AFK or gameplay abuse288,000+Using streamsniping and/or instalocking tools14,000+ Repeated AFK and gameplay abuse accounted for the largest category. The figures also show enforcement reaching players who manipulate ranked matches or use external tools to gain an advantage. Riot says player reports help improve its detection tools and methods, and it’s asking players to keep reporting disruptive behavior in-game. The developer also plans to share penalty figures more regularly, while acknowledging that more work remains. And for players frustrated by suspicious opponents or teammates repeatedly ruining matches, this gives a clearer picture of the action Riot is taking. Continued reporting remains part of that process. Agent Buffs and Nerfs in Patch 13.08 Riot lists no direct agent or weapon balance buffs or nerfs in this patch. Killjoy receives a feedback improvement as moving doorways destroying her Alarmbot projectile will now trigger the appropriate destruction visuals and audio. Map Rating Explained Map Rating scores your proficiency on each map from 0 to 500, alongside a C to S grade. It considers overall, attacking, and defending win rates, plus Performance Score. Recent matches carry more weight. Ratings are private, support Competitive and Premier, and start fresh without historical match data. You can check your rating, stats, and top agents through Agent Select, the end-of-game screen, and Career. Performance Score Changes Riot also explains adjustments that already went live during Patch 13.06: Damage, adjusted kills, and adjusted deaths have greater scoring impact. Those adjusted metrics account for first bloods and first deaths. Chamber’s scoring better reflects his utility use. These changes address cases where contributions beyond fragging received too much weight. All Corrode Map Changes Corrode’s adjustments target rotations, Mid fights, and post-plant positioning: Defender routes: Shorter paths into the backs of A and B sites help rotations and retakes. Mid half wall: Now metal and shifted one meter, reducing wall spam and allowing movement toward A Link unseen from Top Mid. Lower Mid boxes: Moved toward B, with a jump-up added. Lower Mid wall: Raised to prevent peeking over it from the relocated boxes. A plant zone: Adjusted to weaken post-plant play from A Link. Competitive and Deathmatch Map Rotation Both queues receive the following rotation: Entering: Bind and Corrode. Leaving: Ascent and Split. Client Interface Updates Queue and Mode Select have a redesigned interface for matchmaking and custom games. Career also gains a navigation bar for easier access to Rank Legacy, Accolades, and Map Rating. Patch 13.08 Bug Fixes Corrected the displayed requirement for the Masterful accolade. Fixed alternate footsteps sometimes failing to play for characters in Fog of War. Corrected the location of body-fall audio when agents died in Fog of War. Fixed weapon-bounce sounds sometimes failing to trigger. Corrected Warden scope-reticle alignment during full-auto firing. Known Issues Team MVP can still display incorrectly in Match History. Riot is working on a fix. Range in Queue also remains disabled after it caused some players to enter a broken queue state while using the Practice Range. A fix is being tested.

League of Legends Patch 26.21 is putting Ranked balance back in focus, with buffs for several champions held back by pro play and nerfs to some of the strongest jungle picks. Azir, Orianna, and Ryze are getting help, while Lee Sin, Qiyana, Yasuo, and Yone are among the champions facing cuts. In Phroxzon’s Patch 26.21 preview, Riot outlines plans to stabilize the end-of-season climb. Item changes are also coming, including a Dawncore buff and nerfs to Gluttonous Greaves, Bastion Breaker, and ranged Hubris users. In brief: Patch 26.21 lists 11 champion buffs, 11 champion nerfs, and six champion adjustments. Azir, Orianna, and Ryze are receiving buffs as Riot eases restrictions tied to pro play. Lee Sin and Qiyana face jungle nerfs, while Yasuo and Yone are being tuned around their strong Shieldbow builds. Dawncore is getting buffed, and Taric and Twisted Fate are receiving changes involving untargetable champions. LoL Patch 26.21 Preview The table below covers every change listed in the preview image. Exact numerical changes are not included in this preview, and the planned adjustments may change before release. CategoryChampions or itemsChampion buffsAzir, Darius, Miss Fortune, Nunu, Orianna, Ryze, Sion, Taliyah, Vel’Koz, Xin Zhao, ZyraChampion nerfsCaitlyn, Jinx, Lee Sin, Nidalee, Qiyana, Rammus, Tristana, Viktor, Wukong, Yasuo, YoneChampion adjustmentsLocke, Renekton, Taric (QoL), Twisted Fate (QoL), Varus, ZaahenSystem buffsDawncoreSystem nerfsBastion Breaker, Gluttonous Greaves, Hubris (ranged users) Phroxzon’s accompanying explanation also mentions a Hubris buff for melee users, although the image only lists its ranged nerf. Champion Buffs: Azir, Orianna, and Ryze Get Some Breathing Room Riot wants to give champions whose win rates have been suppressed by pro-play balancing more room to perform in Ranked. Azir, Orianna, and Ryze are specifically mentioned as part of that approach. They join a broader buff list that includes Darius, Miss Fortune, Sion, and Zyra. The preview identifies the targets, but it does not specify which abilities or stats will change. Miss Fortune is worth watching because she is receiving a direct buff alongside a nerf to ranged Hubris users. Her overall strength after the patch will depend on both changes. Champion Nerfs: Lee Sin and Qiyana Lead the Jungle Changes According to Phroxzon, Lee Sin and Qiyana have been two of the strongest junglers, particularly at higher levels of play and in certain regions. Both are getting nerfed, but Riot is taking the accompanying Bastion Breaker changes into account. Qiyana could be hit by both her own adjustments and the item nerf, so the team wants to avoid cutting too much power at once. Nidalee, Rammus, and Wukong also appear on the nerf list, alongside several ranged carries. Yasuo and Yone Nerfs Target Their Current Power Curve Yasuo and Yone have been buying Immortal Shieldbow first more often, and Riot says those builds look strong. The team supports that direction because it lets their passives become relevant early. Phroxzon also argues that early lifesteal, such as a Vampiric Scepter on the way to Blade of the Ruined King, makes their laning less healthy. Riot wants clearer weaknesses before their first completed item while still allowing a strong spike afterward. The intended emphasis is on durability rather than simply increasing their ability to kill opponents. Exact changes remain unspecified in this preview. Item Changes: Dawncore Buffs and Assassin Item Tuning Dawncore is getting help because Riot considers it too weak to fill its intended role as a major late-build purchase for enchanters. Phroxzon says it is mostly purchased when players are already far ahead. The other item changes have different goals: Gluttonous Greaves: Riot is reducing their strength, particularly on marksmen. Hubris: Ranged users are getting nerfed, while melee users are getting buffed. Phroxzon highlights Jhin and Miss Fortune as strong current users. Bastion Breaker: Power is moving out of its stats, especially lethality, and into its anti-structure and objective passive. And for Bastion Breaker, Riot wants the purchase to lean more heavily on helping assassins influence objectives and structures. Its current combination of champion-killing power and wider map impact is considered too strong. Champion Adjustments: Taric and Twisted Fate QoL Changes Taric will regain the ability for his Q and R to apply to untargetable allies. Twisted Fate’s ultimate will reveal untargetable units, with Phroxzon giving Yuumi’s W, Master Yi’s Q, and Hexgate travel as examples. Locke, Renekton, Varus, and Zaahen are also listed for adjustments. Riot’s explanation highlights Locke as an example of making intended costs, such as mana usage, meaningful, but does not provide specific values. Across these changes, Riot wants to preserve champion strengths while making their weaknesses more noticeable. The full numerical breakdown will be needed to judge how far each buff, nerf, and adjustment goes.

Riot Games has shared another look at VALORANT’s next agent through promotional material for a Shanghai pop-up café. The teaser gives players a clearer look at the mysterious character, with a full reveal reportedly planned for the VALORANT Champions 2026 finals weekend. Early reports point to another Duelist joining the roster. Details supplied alongside the teaser also suggest a Chinese agent with an unusual dash ability, although those claims still need official confirmation. In brief: Riot’s new agent teaser appeared in promotional material for a Shanghai pop-up café. The full reveal is reportedly scheduled for October 17 during Champions 2026. The agent is reportedly a Duelist, while the Chinese nationality claim remains unverified. A distinctive dash ability has been suggested, but its mechanics and the full kit remain unconfirmed. New VALORANT Agent Teaser Gives Players a Closer Look The teaser shows a character with long, light-colored hair standing beneath a pink streetlight. Dark clothing and glowing eyes give the image an eerie feel, while much of the character’s face remains hidden in shadow. According to new reports, the same character previously appeared near the end of Riot’s September developer update. The latest promotional material accompanies a VALORANT New Agent Pop-Up Café, running in Shanghai from October 13 to 18, with themed activities and information about the upcoming character. The artwork offers a better look at the design, but it leaves the agent’s gameplay open to speculation. New Agent Reveal Reportedly Coming on October 17 Current reporting points to October 17 for the agent’s reveal. That date should be treated as reported until Riot confirms the reveal schedule. Riot’s official tournament schedule confirms that Champions Shanghai runs through October 18. The lower bracket final takes place on October 17, followed by the grand final the next day. A reveal during the event also wouldn’t establish when the agent becomes playable. The coverage reviewed does not provide a confirmed in-game release date. Chinese Duelist and Dash Ability Claims Remain Unconfirmed The upcoming character is reportedly a Duelist, according to current coverage. However, the available reporting does not independently establish the claimed Chinese nationality. The information shared by valohabercisi describes a dash that works differently from existing movement abilities, alongside a kit featuring unfamiliar mechanics. Those details remain unverified. There’s no verified explanation of how the proposed dash works or what makes it different. Descriptions of the overall kit as especially impressive are also early impressions, rather than confirmed gameplay details. The expected Champions reveal should give players a much clearer idea of what this agent brings to a match.

It’s time to hit the road! Today, we’re excited to share a gameplay preview from the upcoming Coaches DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, showcasing the Scania Touring as we take a journey through the stunning landscapes of northern Norway. In this gameplay video, we’ll be driving from Narvik to Andenes, giving you a closer look at what it’s like to be behind the wheel of a coach. But there’s more to a successful journey than simply reaching your destination. With passengers on board, how you drive can make a real difference! So sit back and join us for a journey in the Scania Touring and get a taste of what awaits in the upcoming Coaches DLC! One of the features we’re showcasing is the G-force indicator, which helps translate your driving style into passenger satisfaction. Sharp turns and hard braking can create higher G-forces, and your passengers won’t hesitate to let you know when you’ve pushed things too far. If you exceed their comfort limits, you may hear some rather loud reactions from the back of the coach! Passenger satisfaction will contribute to your overall results at the end of your journey, giving you another reason to keep your driving smooth and comfortable. You’ll also hear passengers talking and making noise throughout the trip, helping bring the coach experience to life as you travel along the roads. Another feature we’re showcasing is the adjustable sun visor, giving you greater control over the amount of sunlight coming into the cabin and providing a more comfortable driving experience behind the wheel of any coach. We hope you enjoyed this gameplay preview of Scania Touring. If so, then don't forget to add the Coaches DLC to your Steam wishlist! Make sure to also keep track of any future updates by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, and YouTube, or sign up for our newsletter.

The Improved Material System continues to make its way across our truck line-up! With the upcoming 1.62 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator, two more trucks will benefit from this upgrade, bringing further visual refinements to their interiors. We hope you've been enjoying the Improved Material System and the refreshed look it brings to the interiors of our trucks! It has been great to see your reactions to these visual upgrades, and we would like to thank you for all of the comments, feedback & screenshots you have shared with us so far. In the upcoming 1.62 update, our vehicle teams have expanded this visual improvement to the cabins of the Iveco S-Way in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and the All-New Volvo VNL in American Truck Simulator! The improved material system significantly enhances the lighting and visual quality of vehicle interiors, with a particular focus on how different interior materials react to light. This results in a more detailed, readable, and visually pleasing cabin environment. It also makes the differences between materials such as leather, fabric, plastic, and metal much more apparent, even in low-light conditions. As promised, we are gradually bringing this feature to more trucks, allowing you to enjoy beautiful cabin interiors across a wider range of vehicles. If you would like to learn more about what the process of implementing this feature on new vehicles looks like, make sure to check out our Under the Hood blog, where we spoke with colleagues working on the improved material system. We hope you will be happy to see the improved cabin interiors in more trucks with this upcoming update! Remember to stay tuned for more news from our games by following us on our X, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and YouTube. We would also appreciate it if you could sign up for our newsletter, so you can be informed. Until next time, keep on trucking! View the full article

Today, we bring you news from the upcoming 1.62 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. As part of this update, we will be introducing new truck garage models across the map! We already gave the truck garages in American Truck Simulator a refresh with the 1.58 update, and now it is time to give them the same treatment in Euro Truck Simulator 2. As you know, we are gradually reworking older areas of the base map, with the Benelux rework being the latest addition, while the rework for United Kingdom is currently underway. Garages are an important part of the map as well, so after many years, we felt it was time to bring them up to date and better align them with the newer areas of the game. With the release of 1.62, these new garage models will be introduced across the entire base map as well as all of the map DLCs. This means that wherever your journeys take you, you can look forward to seeing these refreshed garages along the way. Garages are also an important part of the truck driving experience. They are not only where you store your trucks and manage your drivers, but also a reflection of your growing company. From the smaller garages to the larger ones, we wanted to make them feel like places you would be happy to return to as your business grows. The new garages feature updated visuals both inside and out, with greater attention to detail throughout. Our goal was to make them feel more modern and immersive, which should make the process of upgrading your garage feel more rewarding. Of course, we also had to keep performance in mind. Bringing these new garages to the game while keeping their performance cost in check compared to the older models created many years ago was no small task, but we hope to have found the right balance between improving visuals and not increasing the toll on performance. With these changes, we hope the reworked garages will feel like a more natural and enjoyable part of your journeys. They are another step in bringing older parts of the game up to today's standards, and we look forward to continuing to refine the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2 in future updates. Remember to give our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and TikTok a follow so you won't miss out on any updates from Euro Truck Simulator 2. Or subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed. Until next time, we wish you safe travels! https://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2/ View the full article

Lituania ia în considerare obligarea marilor platforme digitale de streaming să contribuie cu o parte din veniturile din abonamente încasate în țară pentru a susține cinematografia locală și alte arte audiovizuale, a declarat ministrul Culturii, Lukas Alsys, transmite LRT. Alsys a afirmat că un studiu al Ministerului Culturii, realizat în cursul verii, a arătat că se poate utiliza un model bazat pe un fond pentru a încuraja marile platforme audiovizuale să contribuie la industriile creative din Lituania. Conform propunerii, platforme precum Netflix, care încasează venituri din abonamente de la clienții din Lituania, ar aloca o parte din aceste venituri sectorului cultural al țării. Banii ar urma să fie administrați prin intermediul infrastructurii existente pentru a evita crearea unei birocrații suplimentare, a spus Alsys. Ministerul ia în considerare în prezent o taxă de 3,5% din veniturile încasate de platforme în Lituania, a precizat el. Propunerea ar crea, de fapt, așa-numita „taxă Netflix”, model luat deja în calcul și în alte țări baltice. Letonia pregătește o taxă similară, printr-un proiect de lege aflat în prezent în dezbatere parlamentară. Estonia analizează, de asemenea, introducerea unei astfel de contribuții din partea marilor platforme de streaming. Alsys a declarat că inițiativa lituaniană are ca scop consolidarea sectorului audiovizual al țării și garantarea faptului că platformele globale care obțin profit de pe urma pieței locale contribuie, la rândul lor, la dezvoltarea producției culturale naționale. Articolul Lituania ia în considerare introducerea unei taxe pentru platformele de streaming în vederea susținerii industriei cinematografice locale apare prima dată în Go4IT. View the full article
