Whenever I remember I have 80 hours logged in Terraria, I’m a little shocked because it doesn’t feel like I put nearly that much time into it. Turns out, those are rookie numbers anyway—in a blog post published yesterday, developer Re-Logic shared a bunch of stats and revealed that the average PC player’s logged time was 101 hours and 18 minutes.
Given how many players don’t complete the RPGs they buy, that’s a pretty impressive stat for a 15-year-old survival game. It probably helps that it’s pretty good—Luke Winkie called it “one of the best adventures out there” in his 83% re-review from 2018—and that it just can’t seem to stop growing, with each new gargantuan update making former claims that it was finished seem increasingly absurd.
Another notable stat from the post is that the game has sold a whopping 70 million copies across various platforms, beating out mega hits like The Witcher 3. PC is unsurprisingly the most popular platform by far with 39.6 million copies sold (and 12.3 million tModLoader downloads on Steam). It’s perhaps more evidence that there is virtue in being able to run on anything.

The post goes on to state that the team is done with the whole “final update” shtick, and there’s more on the way. “Well, for now we are comfortable confirming that crossplay is on deck soon… and that Terraria Updates will continue beyond 1.4.6/crossplay,” the blog reads. “How that will work and what those entail will be shared as we go along.”
The game is bigger than ever, hopping on the crossover train with games like Palworld and sitting at over 35,000 concurrent players as I write this, according to SteamDB. In the endless high tide of new early access survival games to sift through and live service games that come and go with the wind, Terraria refuses to fade away.

Performance members: The Purple Streak Explosive Duck and the Bomb Dynamite, a classic TNT bundle built for loud, messy exits.
Ultimate members: Full Ultimate Bundle — adds the Purple Streak Fiber Wire (a sleek, silent takedown tool) and the Purple Streak Swimwear Suit (a bold outfit that trades stealth for style) to the Purple Streak Explosive Duck and the Bomb Dynamite.
Starting today, all members get access to the rewards, which will remain available through Sunday, June 14, first come, first served. To claim, log in to a GeForce NOW account, head to the rewards section in the account portal and redeem.
One mission, a handful of questionable tools and a clear message: Stealth is optional, style is not.
Splashy New Games
In addition, members can look for the following:

The vibes around the current AI boom aren’t great, even in the tech industry, according to a lengthy social media post from Menlo Ventures partner Deedy Das.
Das described San Francisco as “pretty frenetic right now,” as “the divide in outcomes is the worst I’ve ever seen.”
Using a “back of the envelope AI calculation,” he projected that there are around 10,000 people — founders and employees at companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia — that have “hit retirement wealth of well above $20M,” while everyone else worries “they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there.”
Plus, “layoffs are in full swing,” and “many software engineers feel that their life’s skill is no longer useful,” leading to confusion about the best career paths and “a deep malaise about work (and its future),” Das said.
This prompted some eye-rolling on X, with entrepreneur Deva Hazarika arguing that “most of the people in this post” are “incredibly fortunate and can simply make a choice to be happy.”
Another user suggested it’s “pretty damn novel & also kinda nasty” that in the current cycle, “the same technology is both the lottery ticket & the thing eating your fallback.”
The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I’ve ever seen.
Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people – employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders – have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope…
xAI has launched Grok Build, “a coding agent of its own to serve as competitor to its rivals’ products, such as Anthropic’s Claude Code,” reports Engadget:
As Bloomberg notes, xAI has been trying to catch up to its rival companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. Elon Musk, the company’s founder and CEO, previously admitted that it has fallen behind its competitors when it comes to coding. A couple of months ago, Musk said he was rebuilding xAI “from the foundations up” after several co-founders had left the company. One of the company’s executives reportedly told staffers to work on getting Grok to match Claude’s performance across various tasks.
More details from PCMag:
Grok Build is currently available in beta to those with a SuperGrok Heavy subscription, which starts at $300 per month. Just download it from the xAI website and log in. It’s described as “a powerful new coding agent and CLI for professional software engineering and complex coding work.” In its early version, xAI is seeking feedback and looking to fix any bugs… Only a few features have been highlighted, including a plan mode that lets you review, edit, and approve a plan before execution, and support for existing plug-ins and workflows.
Directive 8020 brings Supermassive Games’ signature brand of cinematic horror into a more action-heavy, survival-horror-flavoured space. The studio has always had a knack for tense choices, grisly consequences, and making you deeply suspicious of every dark corridor, but this time, that familiar formula is heading into sci-fi territory.
So, we’ve rounded up the best games like Directive 8020, from choice-driven horror stories to sci-fi scares, lurking threats, and games where everything can go horribly wrong very, very quickly.
1. Silent Hill f
Silent Hill f is an exceptional entry in one of horror’s most beloved series, and a great pick if what you’re after is lurking terror, unsettling imagery, and a story packed with twists and turns. You take control of Hinako as she explores her hometown, now swallowed by a strange fog that has warped everything into something deeply unpleasant. It’s eerie, stylish, and deeply unnerving, which makes it an easy recommendation for anyone after a strong dose of psychological horror.
Perfect For: Players who want psychological horror, unsettling storytelling, and the constant feeling that something is very, very wrong.
2. Alien Isolation
Alien: Isolation is the perfect game if you want to spend every waking second fearing for your digital life. You play as Amanda Ripley, skulking through dark corridors and trying to survive while a relentless Xenomorph stalks you from the shadows. The game uses plenty of clever tricks to make sure you never feel safe for long, and while you’re desperately trying to stay alive, you’re also uncovering the truth about what happened to your mother. Lovely stuff, really, if your idea of lovely is constant terror.
Perfect For: Anyone who wants sci-fi horror, ruthless enemies, and the horrible knowledge that hiding under a desk might not actually save you.
3. The Quarry
The Quarry is all about trying to keep yourself and a group of teenage counsellors alive in the very classic horror setup of a summer camp gone horribly wrong. It’s packed with choices, grisly outcomes, and the kind of “please don’t go into the dark woods alone” moments that make Supermassive’s games so much fun. It’s also playable with others, which adds a nice bit of chaos to the whole thing. Really, this is our stand-in for Supermassive’s wider catalogue, because if you want something like Directive 8020, it makes sense to start with another game from the same developer.
Perfect For: Fans of cinematic horror, branching choices, and trying very hard not to get a full cast of characters killed.
4. Resident Evil Requiem
Resident Evil Requiem is another strong choice from a long-running survival horror series, and it delivers that familiar mix of tension, action, and deeply unpleasant monsters. This one puts you in control of Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy as they try to survive the horrors connected to the Umbrella Corporation. It’s a great pick if you like your horror with a bit more firepower, a lot of stress, and the occasional moment where you realise you probably should have saved those bullets.
Perfect For: Survival horror fans who want action, tension, iconic characters, and plenty of reasons to regret wasting ammo.
5. Prey
Prey fits the bill nicely because it’s creepy, clever, and set in space, which is a pretty good starting point when looking for something in the same general orbit as Directive 8020. It’s also just a stunning game all-around, with a fantastic concept and loads of ways to approach its many problems using your growing set of strange tools and abilities. Also, sometimes mugs come to life and try to eat you, and frankly, there just aren’t enough games willing to commit to that bit. Then again, almost anything in Prey could be an alien, so you’re better off trusting absolutely nothing.
Perfect For: Players who like sci-fi horror, immersive problem-solving, and being suspicious of every single coffee cup in a room.
6. Detroit Become Human
Quantic Dream games can be a little divisive, and Detroit: Become Human has moments where it lays things on a bit thick, but it’s still an excellent game if you want choice-driven storytelling with a sci-fi edge. It explores advanced androids, personhood, and what it means to be alive, all while giving you plenty of decisions that can send the story in different directions. It’s also a beautiful game to explore, and if you want to feel like every choice you make matters, this is still one of the better options out there.
Perfect For: Players who want cinematic sci-fi, branching narratives, and the pressure of knowing one bad decision can change everything.
7. Sherlock Holmes The Awakened
We’re finishing up with probably the biggest curveball on the list. Sherlock Holmes The Awakened comes from Frogwares, which means there’s plenty of investigating to do, a story that pulls you along, and, in this case, a thick layer of horror and tension. You take control of Mr Holmes himself as he dives into a mystery far stranger than his usual cases, with the Cthulhu Mythos creeping in and making everyone involved question absolutely everything they know. It might not seem like an obvious match at first, but if you’re here for mystery, dread, and a story that keeps getting weirder, it absolutely earns its place.
Perfect For: Players who want investigation, cosmic horror, and a mystery that becomes much stranger than anyone reasonably asked for.

I guess we can call Forza Horizon 6 letting players go to Japan and race against a mech a success then. The incarnation of Forza Horizon with kei trucks and indestructible cherry blossom trees in it is available four days early for people who buy the premium edition, and they have turned up in droves. It hit a peak of 178,009 players on Steam alone according to SteamDB, which puts it well ahead of Forza Horizon 5, the previous entry peaking at 81,096 players on Steam four-and-a-half years ago.
It does seem like Forza Horizon 6 has earned that dominance, though. Our Phil Savage gave it an 84 in his review, saying, “There is a staggering amount to do, and an absurd number of cars to do it all in. No other racing series operates on this scale, with this much sandbox freedom.”
Latest Videos From
Those players forking out $120 for the premium edition (or £110 in the UK, or $190 in Australian dollarydoos), aren’t just doing it for the privilege of playing four days early, though. That outlay also nets you two expansions, a car pass and two car packs, as well as a welcome pack and a VIP membership. If you know you’re going to be buying the DLC anyway, I can see why you’d put your money down ahead of time. As the kind of person who bought a lot of Total War DLC the piecemeal way, I can understand why you’d rather take the hit to your budget all at once, in advance.

Book-style folding phones are built for creativity and productivity. You get the best of a tablet and a traditional smartphone, all in one package, and the Razr Fold has some of the best multitasking features I’ve used on any foldable phone to date.
Surprisingly, though, several of the best multitasking features aren’t enabled by default on the Motorola Razr Fold, but I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and have unearthed several phenomenal features that are letting me get tons of things done without having to use multiple devices.
From three-way split screen apps to the grid-based multitasking UI, floating windows, and even a desktop OS-like taskbar, there are tons of ways to do everything everywhere all at once on your Razr Fold.
Split it to win it

Book-style foldables like the Razr Fold are my favorite kind of smartphone. You get a normal screen on the outside for everyday tasks, and then you can open it up to reveal a massive tablet-sized screen that’ll really let you get things done. I’ve worked from my Razr Fold on the go more than a few times, and that’s all thanks to a handful of fantastic multitasking features that Motorola built into the phone.
The good news is that while many of my favorite foldable power features aren’t enabled by default, many of them are located in a single section within the settings menu. Let’s begin with the taskbar, which is the easiest way to treat this tablet like it’s a proper tablet, letting you instantly launch apps and run them in split-screen without having to navigate back home or perform some annoyingly finicky gesture.
1. Open the settings menu by tapping Settings in the app drawer on your home screen, or swiping down on the status bar and tapping the gear icon.
2. Select Foldable display from the list.

3. Tap Task Bar.
4. Select Always show.

Now, when you unfold your Razr Fold, you’ll see a dedicated taskbar at the bottom of the screen. This taskbar stays put while you have apps open and makes it easy to multitask. You can tap an icon to launch an app in full-screen mode, or press on an icon and drag it to a part of the screen to launch an action.
Try opening one app full-screen first, then tap and drag another app’s icon to one of the following locations:
(Image credit: Android Central)
The left or right half of the screen will split apps vertically, making them the same size as if you were running them on the outer display. This is perfect for apps that don’t scale to tablet size very well.
The top or bottom half of the screen will split apps horizontally. I’ve never found a good use for this one, but I’m sure someone will find an app combination where splitting them like this makes sense. Both apps will be short and extra wide, so this is definitely a specialized need.
The middle of the screen will put the new app on a floating window, which can be moved around, resized, minimized, etc., just like windows on a Windows or Mac computer.
So far, all of this is pretty standard for any book-style foldable you can buy today, but Motorola has built in some truly special multitasking features for when you want to run three apps side by side or two full-screen apps at the same time.
1. Start by opening an app in full-screen.
2. Drag another app’s icon to the left or right side of the screen to split the apps vertically.
3. Find a third app icon, then press and drag it to the Add button that appears in the middle of the screen toward the top.
Now, you should see two apps running in a two-way vertical split, with a third hanging just off the side of the screen. Any time you want to swap over to this third app, just tap the window to slide the carousel. The key here is to tap the window, don’t swipe over.
Swap full-screen apps
You can also run two full-screen apps back-to-back, giving you access to two tablet-sized apps that you can switch between with a single tap. Here’s how to do that:
1. Unfold your Razr Fold and use the large screen.
2. Open any app you want.
3. On the taskbar, press and drag an app’s icon to the left or right side of the screen to run two apps side-by-side.
4. Press and hold the white bar in the middle of your screen that splits the apps, then drag it to the left or right until you see the window shape change, then let go.
5. The second app should now be stacked “behind” the foreground app. To switch to it, tap the app window on the side of the screen.
6. To go back to single-app fullscreen, press and hold the white bar on the side of the app, then drag it all the way to the side to make it fullscreen.
This 90:10 split, as it became known when the OnePlus Open debuted it in 2023, is the best and fastest way to multitask between two or three apps at a time, especially when using the Razr Fold’s larger inner display. If you find yourself commonly using the same apps, you can tap on the white bar that splits each app’s window, then tap Save app pair to create a custom pair on your taskbar.
You can use the same tactics to split apps horizontally on the outer screen, but it’s less effective since that screen is smaller. Still, give it a try next time you need to run two apps at once, and you might be pleasantly surprised with how well it works!
Lastly, you’ll want to swap out the massive tiles in the Overview menu for something that makes a lot more sense on a huge display. This feature only works on the large inner display, unfortunately, but it’s still worth taking the time to do it.
1. If you use gesture navigation, open Overview by swiping up and holding on the home bar until the multitasking screen appears
Or, if you use navigation buttons, tap the multitasking square key to open Overview.
2. At the top of the screen, tap the grid icon to switch to grid view.
(Image credit: Android Central)
Now, you can quickly switch between several apps at once instead of just one or two. It’s a lot more efficient and makes a lot more sense for a screen of this size. And that’s everything you need to know about multitasking on the Motorola Razr Fold!
Unlock the full power of your smartphone experience with a Motorola Razr Fold. Two screens and powerful multitasking features make it easy to get everything done at once, no matter where you might find yourself.
OnePlus has paused the rollout of OxygenOS version 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX.
The rollout was paused due to devices experiencing abnormal restart and boot issues.
The rollout will resume after the issue is fixed and the builds are validated for stability and reliability.
OnePlus recently began rolling out an OxygenOS update. If you’re wondering why it’s still not available for your OnePlus device, it’s because the rollout was paused. However, it shouldn’t be long before the rollout resumes.
Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?
Over on the company’s community forum, OnePlus announced that it has temporarily suspended the rollout of OxygenOS version 16.0.7.XXX and 16.0.5.XXX. According to the post, some devices were experiencing abnormal restarts and boot issues after updating to these builds. OnePlus states that the decision to pause was made to “ensure device stability and protect user experience.”
No timetable was provided for when the update will resume. However, OnePlus says that it will resume the rollout when the issue is fixed and “the builds have been thoroughly validated for stability and reliability.” The company also states that its “teams are actively working on this with the highest priority.”
For what it’s worth, OnePlus did apologize for the inconvenience. The brand also says it’s “reviewing and strengthening” its testing and quality assurance processes to prevent similar problems in the future. So, it looks like you’ll just have to sit tight for a while until OnePlus is ready to release its latest update.

Looking for what to watch before The Mandalorian and Grogu? Then you’ve come to the right place.
Since Din Djarin and Baby Yoda got their start on Disney Plus, you might be wondering just what movies and TV shows you should watch before their first big screen outing in The Mandalorian and Grogu. Below, we’ve rounded up the essential movies and TV episodes to check out beforehand, as well as some optional extras if you really feel like doing your homework.
The Star Wars movies to watch before The Mandalorian and Grogu
The original Star Wars trilogy
(Image credit: Disney/Lucasfilm)
If you haven’t actually seen the three original Star Wars movies – A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi – then we recommend starting here. This will give you all the context on the Empire and the Rebellion, as the plot of The Mandalorian and Grogu revolves around hunting down an ex-Imperial warlord for the New Republic, which was formed after the fall of the Empire. Plus, in Return of the Jedi, you’ll see a lot of Jabba the Hutt, father to Rotta the Hutt, a key character in The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The Clone Wars movie
(Image credit: Disney/Lucasfilm)
The Clone Wars movie introduces Rotta the Hutt, the young son of Jabba the Hutt. Rotta, played by Jeremy Allen White, appears in The Mandalorian and Grogu, and it sounds like he’s in trouble again. In The Clone Wars film, baby Rotta is kidnapped by separatists, and Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano are tasked with finding him and bringing him back. If you want to know absolutely everything about Rotta before going into the movie, then this is the film to watch.
The Star Wars TV shows to watch before The Mandalorian and Grogu
The Mandalorian seasons 1-3
(Image credit: Disney/Lucasfilm)
An obvious one, but the majority of the backstory you need to understand for the film can be found in The Mandalorian Disney Plus show. In this series, we see how Din Djarin came to find Grogu – or the Child, as he was known at the time – as well as his quest to unite Grogu with a Jedi, and then eventually the beginning of Grogu’s journey as a Mandalorian apprentice. You’ll also see the development of a truly beautiful bond between adoptive father and son.
The Book of Boba Fett episodes 5-7
(Image credit: Lucasfilm)
Three episodes of The Book of Boba Fett feature Din Djarin, and they’re also pretty essential viewing. In these episodes, Mando trains with the Darksaber, Grogu’s Jedi training is revealed, and Mando and Grogu finally reunite on Tatooine. The episodes take place after The Mandalorian season 2 but before season 3 on the Star Wars timeline. The Hutt Twins are also introduced in this show, specifically appearing (briefly) in episodes 2 and 3, so you could check out those installments too if you want more background on them, though their appearances are fleeting enough it isn’t necessary.

The Clone Wars

A bounty hunter named Embo appears in The Mandalorian and Grogu, as revealed by the second trailer. If you want to get up to speed on Embo, these are all the episodes of The Clone Wars in which he appears:
Season 2, episode 17: ‘Bounty Hunters’
Season 3, episode 4: ‘Sphere of Influence’
Season 4, episode 17: ‘The Box’
Season 4, episode 18: ‘Crisis on Naboo’
Season 4, episode 20: ‘Bounty’
Season 4, episode 22: ‘Revenge’
Season 5, episode 14: ‘Eminence’
Season 6, episode 5: ‘An Old Friend’
For more, see our guide on how to watch The Clone Wars in order (it’s harder than you think).
Star Wars Rebels
(Image credit: Disney)
Zeb Orrelios is a character who originated in the animated show Star Wars Rebels. Zeb will appear in The Mandalorian and Grogu – and he has a cameo in The Mandalorian season 3 – so, if you want to learn more about this Lasat, you can watch Rebels. He’s one of the main characters in the show and features heavily throughout.
Ahsoka
(Image credit: Disney/Lucasfilm)
Neither The Mandalorian nor Grogu make appearances in the Ahsoka show, but the series does deal heavily with the Imperial remnant’s plan to bring Grand Admiral Thrawn back to power. That links loosely to The Mandalorian and Grogu, so you could check out this show for context. Plus, Ahsoka Tano made her live-action debut in season 2, episode 5 of The Mandalorian, where she quickly bonds with Grogu.
