Key Takeaways

๐Ÿ“บ The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak Release Date

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak will be releasing on July 5, 2024, across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. This much-anticipated release promises to captivate fans of the series with its immersive storyline and engaging gameplay. According to IGN, the game has scored very favorably, indicating a strong reception among critics.


Fans of the series can look forward to a continuation of the intricate narrative and complex character development that the franchise is known for. The game's setting in a richly detailed world, combined with its strategic combat system, ensures an experience that will be both familiar and fresh for long-time players.

๐Ÿ“บ Steam Users Have Not Played $19 Billion Worth of Games

Steam users have never played an estimated $19 billion worth of purchased games. According to a recent article on PCGamesN, Steam users have collectively spent an estimated $19 billion on games that remain unplayed. This figure was derived from data considering that only 10% of Steam profiles are public. The phenomenon of the "pile of shame" is something many gamers can relate to, where games are purchased during sales or on a whim, only to be left untouched in digital libraries.


This statistic serves as a reminder of the value of revisiting our purchased games and perhaps enjoying the hidden gems we've overlooked. Whether it's due to time constraints or the allure of new releases, many of us have games that deserve a second look.

๐Ÿ“บ FFXIV Dawntrail Issues Explained

Final Fantasy XIV's latest expansion, Dawntrail, has encountered some issues during its early access phase. Naoki Yoshida, the game's Director and Producer, commonly known as Yoshi P, has publicly apologized for these problems. According to VGC, the most significant issue pertains to the Xbox version of the game, where players experience unresponsiveness when moving between zones due to memory fragmentation.


The development team is actively working on a patch to resolve this and other related issues, particularly those affecting raids. Despite these hiccups, the community remains optimistic and appreciative of the transparency and swift action taken by the developers. Dawntrail officially launches on July 2, 2024, bringing new content and adventures to the world of Eorzea.
