ACNH 3.0 on Switch 2: A Cozy Reentry With a Price Tag

Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Switch 2 Edition returns with a two-pronged update—a free 3.0 patch and a paid £4.19 upgrade. The paid bundle adds a busted megaphone for voice interactions, mouse support, 12-player multiplayer, built-in GameChat, and a resolution boost but no framerate increase. The free patch delivers a new island hotel, storage/inventory improvements, and a communal island-building feature. Overall, the 3.0 updates aren’t essential but are a welcome nudge back into ACNH’s world, with the free content offering the more meaningful improvements; the price of the paid upgrade makes it a questionable value for many.)

Elden Ring Nightreign's Launch Sparks Mixed Reviews and Record Player Surge

Elden Ring Nightreign experienced a massive Steam launch with over 300,000 concurrent players, but received mixed reviews mainly due to its lack of a two-player co-op mode and voice chat, which frustrated many players expecting a more flexible multiplayer experience. The developers acknowledged the oversight and are considering future updates to add duo options, but currently, the game is centered around solo and three-player co-op gameplay.

WhatsApp Introduces Group Voice Chats for Large Groups, Offering a Less Disruptive Experience

WhatsApp is introducing a new voice chat feature for large groups, similar to Discord, allowing users to have voice conversations without disrupting the entire group. The feature starts chats quietly and can be joined by tapping an in-chat bubble. Users can continue messaging those who are unable to join the voice chat and easily control the call without leaving the chat. The rollout will begin with groups of 33 people or more and will be globally available in the coming weeks. WhatsApp ensures end-to-end encryption for voice chats. This update follows WhatsApp's recent addition of multiple account support and other features aimed at enhancing user experience and boosting revenue.

AI-Powered Voice Chat Moderation System Introduced in Call of Duty

Activision has partnered with Modulate to introduce an AI moderation system called ToxMod in Call of Duty games, aiming to identify and address hate speech, discrimination, and harassment in real time during voice chats. The beta rollout of ToxMod has begun in North America, and a worldwide release is scheduled for November 10th. While the AI tool will not take direct action against players, it will provide reports to Activision's moderators. Human involvement remains crucial to address potential biases in speech recognition systems.
