Riot Ends Active 2XKO Development, Initiates Final Patches and Player Refunds

Riot Games will end active development of the free-to-play fighting game 2XKO in December after determining operating costs and flat engagement; servers will remain online beyond 2026 and offline play is unaffected. Three patches remain before development wraps: 1.3.1 in September unlocks most content (including all champions), removes major monetization elements, and reworks lobbies; 1.3.3 in October adds the final champion, Samira; 1.3.5 in December focuses on bug fixes. In parallel, Riot is refunding all purchases made up to August 20, with PC refunds issued to the original payment method and console refunds via the platform. Some items will be available for Credits, private lobbies will stay updated, and the game will sunset as a live service while Riot refocuses on future projects. A previous 80-position reduction to the 2XKO team was noted as part of the broader scaling decision.

A similar Creations update for Skyrim is in development with no release date yet.

Bethesda preps Creations patches for Fallout 4 and Skyrim, modders brace for quick updates

Bethesda announced upcoming patches for Fallout 4 (Aug 18) and Skyrim that focus on Creations improvements; players should save or back up their load orders before patching so they can re-download their Creations list after the update. Mods relying on script extenders may need updates (e.g., SkyUI), but modders typically respond quickly. If you want, you can disable automatic updates for now to avoid early patch hiccups.

Apple Deploys Early iOS 26.5.2 Security Fixes to Beat AI-Powered Hacks

Apple says the fixes address vulnerabilities that were not shown to be exploited and compressed the window between disclosure and deployment. The company is collaborating with Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and its Claude Mythos Preview to hunt vulnerabilities, though it’s unclear whether Mythos drove the acceleration.

The current fixes cover titles including Buddy Collection, Dragon Quest Builders, Laysara: Summit Kingdom, Monster Hunter Stories, Neon Inferno, Overcooked: All You Can Eat, This Is Fine: Maximum Cope, Top Cop: Police Training, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood; however, a subset of games still experiences issues (game progression, slowdown, or audio problems), and a few are currently classified as fully unsupported with the possibility of future updates restoring them.

Blind soul icon Clarence Carter dies at 90, famed for Slip Away and Patches

Clarence Carter, the blind Alabama soul singer behind hits such as Slip Away, Patches, and Back Door Santa, has died at 90 from pneumonia complications. Starting in the 1960s with Clarence & Calvin, he rose to fame with Tell Daddy and achieved major US and UK chart success with Slip Away and Patches. He mentored and later married Candi Staton in 1970, co-writing songs that helped launch her solo career. Carter remained a fixture in soul through the mid-1970s, had a late 1988 return with Strokin’, and his work has continued to influence and appear in films and samples.
