In a PlayStation State of Play video today, Phantom Blade Zero developer S-Game has finally shown off glimpses of a game world it’s largely kept secret up to this point, with eight individual maps that “seamlessly connect into a single world.”
In my demos of the game over the last year and a half, S-Game has stressed that the areas I got to play and the bosses I fought were all optional diversions from the main story—impressive, considering their scope. This State of Play has finally pulled back the curtain on some of the game’s primary characters and locations and shown in more concrete terms what distinguishes Phantom Blade Zero from linear action games and open world ones.
“Your journey takes you to intricate but surreal landscapes,” explains S-Game founder Soulframe Liang. “Villages, valleys, lakes, and shadowed territories, including a valley overrun by ruthless bandits, an abandoned warehouse filled with hanging puppets where a dark ritual seems to be taking place, a steam-powered iron tower built for some kind of dark experiment, and a vast lake, which Soul must navigate aboard a peculiar high-speed vessel.”

We don’t get to see more than a few seconds of each of those areas, but the narration still offers a sense of some of the big chunks the game’s world will be divided into. More interesting to me, though, is how Phantom Blade Zero is handling maps: I love that it’s not giving you all the details like so many open world games, while still offering a bit more aid than a mapless soulslike:
“Your journey is guided by eight authentic, hand-painted Chinese ink wash maps. In complex regions they offer only a rough sense of direction, leaving you to explore and uncover hidden secrets. These maps seamlessly connect into a single world, where bells enable fast travel between discovered locations.”

Soulframe says Phantom Blade Zero “is not an open world game, nor is it a linear adventure from beginning to end.”
In the State of Play there are a few quick examples of weapons being used to smash through obstacles, meaning there’s at least a light bit of metroidvania-style progress gating that will encourage returning to areas to open new paths or find secrets. We’ll see how extensive that exploration proves to be, but I hope Phantom Blade Zero manages to be one of the few action RPGs to get within spitting distance of Dark Souls’ still-unbeaten world.

Four long years after it was announced, we finally have some idea when we’ll be able to play Kingdom Hearts 4. At Disney’s D23 fan event, Square Enix revealed that the sequel will arrive sometime in late 2027.
That isn’t everything new that Square Enix had in store for fans either. The reveal was accompanied by a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 that showed off a new world the sequel will take players to—Coco’s colourful land of the dead. The trailer shows Sora fighting enemies in the crowd of a concert and riding sky rails, as Mickey, Goofy and Hades strive to reunite with the series’ errant hero after he disappeared at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3.
Obviously, it would have been nice if Square Enix had committed to a specific date. But even having some idea of when the game will be released is a big deal after years of near-total radio silence from Square Enix. It was only in June that we received our first glimpse of the game since the sequel was announced in 2022, so going from that to knowing roughly when we’ll be able to play it in the space of two months is quite the surprise.

KINGDOM HEARTS IV | D23 2026 Showcase Trailer – YouTube
Despite the dearth of information about the game over the years, we do have a rough idea of what Kingdom Hearts 4 will involve. The sequel will commence a new story arc which Square Enix is calling the Lost Master Arc, and will be primarily set in Quadratum—Kingdom Heart’s Equivalent of Tokyo. As the latest trailer demonstrates, however, it will still involve the usual jaunt through various Disney worlds
While Square Enix has kept the lid on Kingdom Hearts 4 over the years, series director Tetsuya Nomora has repeatedly reassured fans that the game is on track. And both Square Enix and Disney have plenty of reasons to continue supporting it, since Disney recently revealed that Kingdom Hearts ranks among the company’s “billion-dollar franchises”. Turns out players really love it when you combine Disney characters and Final Fantasy-style JRPG action. Who knew?

It looks like another bad day for Roblox: The US Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism has launched an investigation into child safety on the platform, saying the company “appears to prioritize revenue and engagement metrics over the safety and well-being of our children.”
A letter (via Kotaku) sent to Roblox CEO David Baszucki by subcommittee chairman Josh Hawley and ranking member Dick Durbin says that while Roblox has repeatedly claimed that it is a safe platform for children, “the public record raises serious questions about this promise.”
“Over the past decade, police have arrested numerous individuals for committing serious acts of violence and harm against children they met via Roblox, including grooming, sexual abuse, kidnapping, rape, and even murder,” the letter reads. “Roblox is being used to trade child sexual abuse material, participate in sexually explicit (and often violent) virtual ‘experiences’ with children, bribe and extort children into producing explicit content, and lure children into in-person meetings. It is heartbreaking.”

The past year has been quite a ride for Roblox and those who use it. The company has been aggressively fighting allegations that it is, as one investment research firm called it, a “pedophile hellscape,” tightening restrictions on unrated games and using age estimation checks and new kinds of limited accounts to keep underage users away from inappropriate content and, well, pedophiles. Baszucki also took the very straightforward step of telling parents who are worried about Roblox, “Don’t let your kids be on Roblox.”
There have been missteps, to put it gently. Baszucki said in 2025 that Roblox’s predator problem is “not just a problem, but an opportunity,” which at the very least is a PR botch of ungodly proportions. He also mused about turning Roblox into a dating hub, which again is not the sort of thing to say when you’re facing legal action from Louisiana, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, LA County, Australia, the UK, and various others over your alleged systemic child safety failures.
At the same time, somehow, Roblox earned praise from the US Attorney General Alliance “for its readiness to collaborate directly with policymakers and respond to community concerns.” And separate from all that, the kids really like Roblox—although that might be softening. The Roblox audience is still massive but not as massive as it was, and that’s hammered the company’s share price, although it’s still trading roughly around where it was through 2023 and ’24.
What it all adds up to is a company, and a platform, that’s under pressure from multiple directions, and this Senate investigation only adds to that.

The letter from Hawley and Durbin says “Roblox appears to prioritize revenue and engagement metrics over the safety and well-being of our children,” which makes it worthy of scrutiny. The company is thus ordered to preserve all records related to child safety, abuse, and “financial exploitation,” and to provide requested documents and information by the end of August 2026.
“Let us be clear: children on your platform are hurting,” the letter concludes. “Congress will not look the other way.”
Roblox insists that it too is not looking away: The company says the uptick in reports of suspected child sexual exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children cited in the latter—65,381 in 2025, more than double the number of 2024—simply reflects the company’s ongoing effort to improve its systems and the safety of its users.
“Roblox is built on the foundation of safety,” Roblox chief safety officer Mautt Kaufman said in a statement provided to PC Gamer. “We do not compromise on that commitment. We look forward to sharing the facts about how we work to protect children on the platform.”

After noticing the announcement of upcoming driving sim Rideshare Stimulator, writer Stella Sacco commented on social media that she’d once been the game’s lead writer but had been fired in favor of ChatGPT. The game’s publisher, Saber Interactive, denied the claim, stating that while it did use generative AI in the development of Rideshare Stimulator (which has not yet been disclosed on its Steam page), the story was written “entirely by real people.”
Sacco acknowledged that the studio may have changed direction since she was removed from the project in 2023, but stood by her recollection. That could have been the end of it, but now a confusing, combative follow-up from Saber CEO Matt Karch is raising eyebrows.
In a statement sent to This Week in Video Games, Karch claimed that Sacco violated a confidentiality agreement by stating that she was fired in favor of AI, but also denied the assertion, crediting Rideshare Stimulator’s “entire story script” to an unnamed writer.
Latest Videos FromPC Gamer
Karch also stated that he didn’t know who Sacco was until he consulted an AI chatbot, but nevertheless claimed that she was replaced by “someone more talented” and that he would retrospectively be “happy to replace her with AI” because AI is “programmed to be honest.”
Here’s Karch’s full statement:
“Stella who? I had to ask Claude because I have never spoken to her or seen her. We have already said we are using AI for certain parts of the game and will update the Steam page once we have finalized the feature set.
“Let me clarify that the entire story script, were it to win an award, would go to someone who can walk up on stage and receive it. It was always our intention to reveal this until Stella violated her confidentiality clause and revealed this before we were ready.

“We look at our use of AI in this particular game, which will be a lower priced title, as a plus for consumers.
“As far as Stella is concerned, she was replaced by someone more talented and terminated for a variety of reasons a few months later. From what I can gather she enjoys controversy even more than I do. I would frankly in retrospect have been happy to replace her with AI. At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest.”
Sacco responded on Bluesky, standing by her original claim.
“I’ve seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he’s lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game,” said the writer.
“Everything I said was true. Here’s more truth: that statement is remarkably pathetic for the CEO of any company to be making, and combined with the AI use it will do far more damage to Saber’s reputation than it ever could mine. This screed will be many people’s first exposure to the Saber brand.”
How Can I Tell If My Laptop’s Charging Port Is Failing in Frisco, TX?
A laptop charging port may be failing if the charger feels loose, charging starts and stops when the cable moves, the laptop only charges at a certain angle, the port looks damaged, or a known-good compatible charger still does not work reliably. These symptoms can also come from the charger or battery, so professional diagnosis is the safest way to identify the actual problem.
At PC Geeks, we help Frisco-area laptop owners determine why their computers are not charging properly and what repair makes the most sense. Charging problems can be frustrating because several components can produce similar symptoms, including the AC adapter, battery, charging port, USB-C controller, and motherboard. Rather than replacing parts based on guesswork, a proper diagnosis can isolate the source of the failure and help prevent unnecessary repairs. Whether you use your laptop for remote work, school, running a business, gaming, or everyday tasks, addressing an unreliable charging connection early can reduce the chance of the problem becoming more serious.
Laptop Charging Port Problems: Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
A failing charging port usually becomes noticeable through an unreliable physical or electrical connection. The problem may begin intermittently before the laptop eventually stops recognizing the charger altogether.
Dell recommends inspecting charging ports for dust, debris, bent pins, and physical damage when diagnosing a laptop that will not charge. Dell also notes that charging problems can originate from several sources, including the AC adapter, battery hardware, charging port, software, or drivers.
What Are the Most Common Signs of a Bad Laptop Charging Port?
The clearest warning sign is charging behavior that changes when the connector moves. If your laptop starts charging only after you wiggle the plug or position it at a particular angle, the connection between the charger and laptop may be compromised.
Common warning signs include:
The charger feels unusually loose inside the port.
Charging repeatedly connects and disconnects.
You must hold or position the cable at an angle.
The laptop does not consistently recognize a compatible charger.
The charging port has bent components, cracks, or other visible damage.
The connector will not remain securely seated.
A USB-C charging port also has intermittent data or display problems.
Charging stops when the laptop or cable is moved.
For USB-C laptops in particular, movement-related problems deserve attention. Dell identifies intermittent functionality when a USB-C cable moves as a potential sign of cable or connection damage. The company also documents how improper handling can contribute to loose ports, damaged connectors, cracked port housings, and broken internal solder joints.
Do not repeatedly wiggle or force a connector to make the laptop charge. That may place additional stress on an already damaged connection.
How Do I Know If the Problem Is the Charging Port, Charger, or Battery?
Testing with a known-good, correctly rated charger is one of the simplest ways to narrow down a charging problem, but it does not replace a complete diagnosis.
If another compatible charger works normally, your original adapter or cable may be the problem. If multiple compatible chargers produce the same intermittent connection, particularly when movement affects charging, the laptop’s port becomes a stronger suspect.
Battery problems can look different. A laptop that recognizes its charger normally but cannot maintain battery capacity may have an aging or defective battery instead of a damaged port. An adapter with insufficient wattage can also power some laptops without properly charging the battery, according to Dell.
Before assuming the port has failed, check:
The wall outlet: Confirm it works with another device.
The charger: Look for fraying, bent components, overheating, or cable damage.
The connection: See whether the charger sits securely without needing pressure.
The port: Look for lint, debris, cracks, or obvious physical damage.
The laptop’s specifications: Make sure the charger provides the correct wattage and that the USB-C port, if applicable, actually supports charging.
That last point is important because not every USB-C port supports the same functions. Dell notes that some laptop USB-C ports support power delivery, while others may be intended only for data transfer.
Why Do Laptop Charging Ports Become Loose or Damaged?
Physical stress is one of the biggest threats to a laptop charging connection. Pulling on the cord instead of the connector, tripping over a plugged-in charger, or repeatedly placing sideways pressure on the plug can damage the cable, port housing, or internal connection.
USB-C connectors are engineered for extensive everyday use. The USB Implementers Forum specification rates the USB Type-C connector family for a minimum of 10,000 insertion and extraction cycles under its durability testing requirements. That durability does not mean the port is immune to accidental impacts, sharp bending, contamination, or sideways force.
To help protect your charging port:
Unplug the charger by gripping the connector, not pulling the cord.
Insert and remove the connector straight rather than at an angle.
Avoid using the laptop where the charger is stretched tightly across a walkway.
Keep food, liquids, dust, and debris away from the port.
Do not rest objects against a USB-C connector while it is plugged in.
Dell specifically advises avoiding sharp bends and twists near USB-C connectors because excessive stress can damage cables and shorten their working life.
When Should I Have a Laptop Charging Port Professionally Repaired?
Seek professional help when charging becomes consistently intermittent, the port is visibly damaged, or multiple known-good chargers fail to make a reliable connection.
Continuing to use a damaged port can turn an inconvenient charging problem into a more complicated repair. Some ports are separate replaceable components, while others are attached directly to a laptop’s motherboard. Internal damage can also occur even when the outside of the port appears relatively normal.
Dell notes that damaged USB-C connections can include broken solder joints inside the device, which may cause the port to lose functionality despite limited visible external damage.
For laptop owners in Frisco, TX, dependable charging is particularly important for people moving between home, school, offices, and coworking environments. Frisco’s hot North Texas summers are another reason to treat laptops carefully. The City of Frisco describes the area as having hot summers, with an average August maximum temperature of 96.1°F. Avoid leaving laptops and chargers in hot vehicles for extended periods, and give electronics adequate ventilation while charging.
PC Geeks can evaluate the charging system and determine whether the issue comes from the adapter, battery, port, or another internal component before recommending the appropriate repair.
Frequently Asked Questions About Laptop Charging Ports
Can a loose laptop charging port be fixed?
Yes. A loose charging port can often be repaired or replaced, depending on the laptop’s design and the extent of the damage. A technician should inspect the port and its connection to the internal hardware before determining the appropriate repair.
Why does my laptop only charge when I move the charger?
Charging that cuts in and out when the connector moves can indicate a damaged cable, loose connector, worn port, or damaged internal connection. Dell specifically identifies movement-related intermittent functionality as a symptom associated with USB-C connection problems.
Can dirt inside a laptop charging port stop it from charging?
Yes. Dust, lint, and debris can interfere with the connection between the charger and port. Dell recommends inspecting the charging port for debris as part of troubleshooting, but avoid inserting metal tools or forcing objects into the port.
Does a laptop that won’t charge always need a new charging port?
No. A failed charger, damaged cable, worn battery, insufficient adapter wattage, software issue, or USB-C controller problem can also cause charging failures. Proper testing is important before replacing the port.
Get Your Laptop Charging Problem Diagnosed in Frisco, TX
An unreliable charging port rarely becomes more convenient with time. If your laptop only charges at certain angles, repeatedly disconnects from power, or has a visibly loose or damaged port, getting the problem diagnosed early can help prevent further damage and eliminate the guesswork of replacing the wrong component.

Earlier this year, Google Chrome annoyed a whole lot of adblock users by killing support for Manifest V2 extensions. It’s a Manifest V3 world now, which means the permissions and APIs that thoroughgoing adblockers like uBlock Origin rely on are a thing of the past on Chrome (it’s since been replaced by a pared-down version: uBlock Origin Lite). Now, Microsoft Edge is following suit: “Over the next few months, MV2 extensions will be gradually turned off by default,” says Redmond.
All of which is red meat for the folks over at Mozilla Firefox, the free-and-open-source browser that once reigned supreme on our PCs before Chrome came and ate its lunch. In posts across social media, Firefox kicked Edge (and Chrome) in their self-inflicted bruises, declaring that “Our support for uBlock Origin isn’t going anywhere”, a post that came days after it wrote “Reminder that you can still just… use ad blockers on Firefox. Wild concept, we know.”
Now, like I said, it’s not like Chromium-based browsers are murdering adblockers wholesale. If you wanna block ads, you can still use less-powerful extensions to do so, but it’s a simple fact that if you want a full-fat adblocker in the uBlock Origin mould, the megacorps are rapidly shutting down ways to do that.
Latest Videos FromPC Gamer
It’s also true that Firefox isn’t your only option—there are several other browsers out there still touting full-fat adblocker support—but it’s probably the biggest name out there fighting the good fight.
Our support for uBlock Origin isn’t going anywhere.
Anyway, Firefox’s braggadocio prompted an obvious question: hey gang, when’s this vaunted adblock support gonna make its way to iOS devices? Alas, there’s no hard timeline there, but Mozilla did say that it’s actively working on making adblock work on Firefox on your iThings.
In fairness, Apple’s strict rules mean that Firefox on iOS (along with other browsers) are more like reskins of Safari than they are full implementations of the desktop browser on mobile. But hey, if people are using Firefox in 2026, it’s likely in part down to its robust extension support. Better to be able to offer some form of it than not.
