Dispatch Is Censored on Nintendo Switch Due to Platform 'Content Criteria', Developer Says

Dispatch, the superhero workplace comedy made by Telltale veterans at AdHoc Studio, is out now on Nintendo Switch. But a number of excited new and returning players aren't super happy about the release, as it turns out the game has been pretty aggressively censored on the system.
It's been well-known since its release on other platforms that Dispatch is a game with signficant adult content. Some characters are fully or partially naked in various scenes, with their full anatomy on display. There are some sex scenes where characters make sounds associated with sex. Sometimes characters flip the bird at one another. For those who don't want to see all this, there's a censorship toggle in the settings that covers up the nudity and the middle fingers, and silences any unwanted sex noises. On most platforms, this is entirely optional and up to the player to turn on.
But not on Nintendo Switch. Earlier today, reports began to drop from reviewers of the Switch version that Dispatch's censorship toggle is missing from the options on the platform. That's because it's permanently turned on (no pun intended). So all the censor bars and silence are just stuck that way, with no way to turn on the more mature version of the game.
Why? According to AdHoc, it's because of Nintendo policies. "Different platforms have different content criteria, and submissions are evaluated individually," the studio said in a statement shared with Eurogamer. "We worked with Nintendo to ensure the content within the title met the criteria to release on their platforms, but the core narrative and gameplay experience remains identical to the original release."
This has understandably frustrated some people. A number of members of Dispatch online communities in places like Reddit and other social platforms have alternatingly expressed frustration with Nintendo for its policies, and AdHoc for bending to them so readily. While it's true that other games in the past such as, notably, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Fire Emblem Fates, have also been censored in various ways. But by comparison, Dispatch's censorship is extremely blunt and distracting. Who wants giant black bars across the screen? Especially if you can't turn them off?
What's more, as some have pointed out, both Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 are on Switch too. Both of those games have nudity, and neither has been censored in such a way, leading to questions about what makes Dispatch different. We're reached out to Nintendo for comment.
Dispatch is amazing, as we determined in our 9/10 review of the game, calling it "a sharp-witted workplace comedy that charms with its smart dialogue choices, great writing, and lovably aggravating cast." You can play it without big black censor bars on PC or PlayStation 5, but no Xbox version yet.

The HP OMEN 45L Is the Least Expensive GeForce RTX 5090 Prebuilt Gaming PC Right Now

If you were to purchase a standalone Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card today, you'd be paying $3,000 or more. Instead, why not just get a complete RTX 5090 prebuilt gaming PC with a top-of-the-line CPU for not that much more? HP is currently offering its flagship OMEN 45L RTX 5090 gaming PC starting at $4,029.99 with free delivery, making it the least expensive 5090 prebuilt I can find right now. It even includes 64GB of DDR5 RAM, which alone probably costs close to $700 in today's outrageous DRAM market.
HP Omen 45L RTX 5090 Gaming PC From $4,030
Choose between either the Intel or AMD edition. The Intel variant, which is currently on sale for $4,030, is equipped with Intel's best CPU, the Core Ultra 9 285K, along with 64GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The AMD variant is up for preorder for $4,450 and features the outstanding AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D CPU, 64GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a generous 4TB SSD. Although the AMD variant does cost about $400 more, it's worth it if you can afford it. You get a better gaming CPU, faster RAM, and most importantly, double the SSD storage. It ships in February.
The RTX 5090 is the most powerful graphics card ever
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. There's no debate here because no other GPU comes even close. Although Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology with this generation, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. Also, the new DLSS 4.5 is miles better than AMD's FSR upscaling technology. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.
The Omen 45L is HP's Flagship Gaming Chassis
The OMEN 45L is HP's roomiest chassis with plenty of cooling in the form of four 120mm fans for system airflow and an additional 240mm or 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution for the CPU enclosed in its own "Cryo Chamber" at the top of the case. This PC is equipped with a generous 1,200W 80Plus Gold power supply and current-gen components like an Intel Z790 motherboard, Kingston FURY DDR5-6000MHz RGB memory modules, and a WD Black M.2 SSD. The chassis itself looks great with its blend of steel and tempered glass and RGB lighting. Although it certainly exudes a very premium feel, it doesn't scream "gamer" like some other PC cases.

The Moment Review
This review is based on a screening from the Sundance Film Festival. The Moment will be released on January 30.
From first-time feature film director Aidan Zamiri – known for his music videos with Charli XCX – The Moment captures the fictitious aftermath of the British pop singer’s monumental success in 2024 with her smash-hit album, Brat. The film has an alluring energy and numerous wryly funny moments as it circles the malformed question of what comes next for the music megastar with an anxiety that fuels its aesthetic approach. The resultant story is one of a celebrity fearing her own oversaturation – a surprisingly vulnerable and self-critical starting point. Unfortunately, despite its occasional strengths, The Moment ironically overstays its welcome.
Brat Summer, with its now-iconic neon green, was everywhere all at once, a rocket ship to stardom that The Moment recaps via news montage for anyone unfamiliar. Once fans and outsiders alike are up to speed, numerous cameras follow XCX and her entourage in close quarters in the weeks leading up to her Brat tour in 2025, and the fictionalized creative skirmishes therein. It’s a mockumentary only in the most technical sense; i.e., its characters acknowledge the cameras once or twice. However, the film is much better served if thought of as a straightforward drama shot with a handheld, voyeuristic gaze, or else you might go mad trying to figure out the logistics of each camera’s placement, and the “how” and “why” of it all (to say nothing of its lack of sit-down interviews). Either way, its raison d'etre is farcical at first, which is when the film is at its strongest. When it pivots towards more saccharine themes, told through traditional melodrama in its closing act, it’s much harder to stomach.
Early into the 103-minute runtime, it’s hard to shake the sense that Zamiri and XCX might be fans of the Safdie Brothers and Enter The Void director Gaspar Noé, whose respective claustrophobic conversations and strobing on-screen captions are deployed as primary tools. The movie’s texture is unrelenting, though its content seldom lives up. It takes a while for its awkward rhythms to finally settle, but after the umpteenth montage that establishes – or rather re-establishes – the premise, we’re off to the races. Boardroom executives make decisions on XCX’s behalf without her input, while her hilariously straitlaced manager Tim (Jamie Demetriou) tries to talk her into harebrained promotional schemes, including a ripped-from-Twitter gag about a Brat-themed queer credit card. It’s all wonderfully silly, and it comes wrapped in the chaos of XCX being ushered between events around London practically against her will.
The dry humor à la The Office (the UK original, that is) serves Zamiri’s style to a tee, while XCX slips effortlessly into a frayed and haggard version of herself, bringing her inmost insecurities to the surface amidst scenes of partying through the night. It’s a wonderful performance showcase at times, granting dramatic detours to supporting characters like XCX’s friend and creative director, Celeste (Safdie regular Hailey Benton Gates), whose nightclub vision for the tour is challenged by the ludicrous, faux-polite concert film director, Johannes (Alexander Skarsgård). A label hire, Johannes is hell-bent on sanding down the pop star’s image, making it more colorful and family-friendly, which leads to some comical butting of heads.
Celebrities show up in spades – Kylie Jenner and Rachel Sennott play exaggerated versions of themselves – so the verisimilitude of the project is never in question. Unfortunately, what remains questionable is its artistic point of view. In a sea of caricatures, XCX is practically the only three-dimensional human being, a person battling for agency while fighting off hordes of idiots at every turn. It verges on misanthropic, especially when she actually meets her fans; the mental health struggles of one of them are made the butt of an especially cruel joke. On the one hand, it’s commendable to see XCX – on whose idea the film was based – let the air out of her own celebrity image in the form of cinema; on the other hand, the result often feels like a distasteful act of brand management, despite its insistence that beneath all the glitz and glamor, XCX is ultimately human. She’s not too human, though; don’t forget, she’s still a creative genius, as The Moment insists, so any compromises she makes in a state of distress are secretly a five-dimensional chess scheme. If you can get on board with that conclusion, great; you’ve drunk the lime green Kool-Aid.
Zamiri’s visual approach may be a patchwork of other filmmakers, but in the most superficial sense, he knows exactly who to pull from, even if it doesn’t always cohere. The movie’s use of color is also remarkable, from the intense high-contrast and saturated palette that gives even the most luxurious spaces a grungy sensation, to the use of green in the color timing to induce a sickly feel as the film goes on, à la The Matrix or a Saw sequel. It’s as though XCX were being psychologically consumed, and even harmed, by her own success.

The visual pieces are all there; unfortunately, The Moment seldom assembles them in ways that make emotional sense. Important beats that define XCX’s character and creative trajectory feel entirely skipped, and vital information concerning a major third-act turn is presented in such an opaque fashion that the story becomes confounding. Eventually, it zips forward to an exhausting series of explanatory dramatic monologues to close things out, which neither gel with the preceding film nor serve XCX’s talents as a comedic actress. This zigzag ensures that The Moment ends on a bummer note when it ought to be at its most satirically sure-footed. It’s not terrible by any stretch, but you wouldn’t be blamed for questioning the point of it all once the credits finally roll.
Henry Cavill Is Ready to Unsheathe His Sword in First Look at Highlander Reboot From John Wick Director Chad Stahelski

Henry Cavill has posted a first look at his character in the Highlander reboot.
The former Superman actor took to Instagram to reveal two images, below, of himself in character. As you’d expect from a Highlander movie, Cavill carries a sword. It looks like he’s in Hong Kong in the first photo, and New York in the second. His coat is giving me Blade Runner vibes.
And yes, that’s Henry Cavill looking all moody while weilding a sword, which rekindles memories of his role as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher. Cavill left the show to reprise his role as Superman in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe, but it turned out the actor had been messed about by prior leadership at the studio, and the role went to David Corenswet.
“Happy First Look for Highlander!” Cavill said alongside the photos. “This has been quite the journey for me, which I'll tell you all about when the time is right, but it's a special moment to be able to share this. I hope you enjoy.”
Cavill’s mention of Highlander being “quite the journey” may be a reference to a leg injury he sustained last year while training for the film, which delayed production to early 2026.
Highlander, directed by John Wick’s Chad Stahelski, is set in beyond present-day New York and Hong Kong, with Cavill set to play a sword master who’s been alive for over 500 years, training in all sorts of martial arts along the way.
The Highlander films and TV series revolve around an age-old war between immortal warriors who can only be killed via beheading. The cult classic 1986 debut film starred Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, who is trained by Sean Connery’s Ramírez. It fuses past and present-day storylines, switching from 16th century Scottish Highlands to 80s New York.
Stahelski has offered a vague story setup: "We're bringing it forward from the early 1500s in the highlands to the beyond present-day New York and Hong Kong, and seeing how it goes. There's big opportunity for action. There's a chance to play a character that not a lot of people get to play. And it's a bit of a love story, but not how you think. On John Wick, I learned a lot on how to bend the storytelling a little... another kind of myth."
And on Cavill’s character, Stahelski added: "My selling point was, to [Henry Cavill], look, you've got a guy that's been alive for over 500 years. He's the last person in the world that wanted to be in this situation. So you get to cover quite a broad spread of a character arc there. And you get to experience someone that's trained over 500 years and sort of played [with many types of] martial arts..."
In September, Deadline reported that WWE star Drew McIntyre, who hails from Ayrshire, Scotland, will play Angus MacLeod, brother to Cavill’s MacLeod. He joins Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, and Max Zhang in the reboot.
In August last year, Stahelski suggested the Highlander reboot could be the start of something big. “I think we have some very good elements now,” he said. “The trick is when you have the tagline ‘there can only be one,' you can’t just kill everybody the first time.”
He continued: “Our story engages a lot of the same characters and stuff like that,” Stahelski continued. “But we’ve also brought in elements of all the TV shows, and we’re trying to do a bit of a prequel, a setup to The Gathering, so we have room to grow the property.”
In Highlander, The Gathering is a summoning that forces the immortal warriors to face each other in what's called the Game.
“I've been a fan of Highlander since I was a lad,” said Cavill on Instagram when the film was announced in 2021. “From the movies in all of their 80s, Queen slathered glory to the TV show with an actor who looked remarkably like one of my brothers. Being not shy with swords, and having a director as talented as Chad Stahelski at the helm, this is an opportunity like no other.”
In April 2024, Cavill bigged-up his training for the Highlander movie, promising even more impressive sword skills than he demonstrated in Netflix’s The Witcher. "If you thought you’d seen me do swordwork before, you haven't seen anything yet," Cavill said.

The Ultra-Slim Baseus Blade 20,000mAh 100W Power Bank Drops to $39.99

Looking for a high-capacity, high-output power bank with a slim footprint? Amazon is currently offering the Baseus Blade 20,000mAh 100W power bank for $39.99 shipped after you apply coupon code "YBKEIAQE". Unlike previous iterations of this deal, you do NOT have to be an Amazon Prime member. Unlike most high-capacity power banks that are shaped like a chunky bar, the Baseus Blade is slimmer. It's powerful enough to charge any gaming handheld PC at its fastest rate.
Baseus Blade 20,000mAh 100W Slim Power Bank for $39.99
The Baseus Blade measures only 0.7 inches thick. Most high-capacity power banks are well over 1" in thickness. The Blade achieves this slim depth by going with a wider body design. The form factor allows it to fit perfectly in a laptop bag or backpack sleeve. It still weighs in at about one pound which is comparable to other power banks, so no give or take there.
The wide body allows it to squeeze in four ports: two USB Type-C ports each with 100W of Power Delivery and two USB Type-A ports each with 30W output. Note that the maximum charging output is 100W. That means although all three ports add up to a total of 160W, only a maximum of 100W will be delivered across all three ports if they are used simultaneously.
The 20,000mAh capacity can fully recharge your gaming handhelds
This Baseus Blade boasts a generous 20,000mAh, or 74Whr battery capacity. If you factor in 80% power efficiency, here are the approximate number of times you can fully recharge each gaming handheld or iPhone model:
- Nintendo Switch 2 (18Whr) about 3.3 times
- Steam Deck (40-50Whr) about 1.2-1.5 times
- ROG Xbox Ally (60Whr) about 1 times
- ROG Xbox Ally X (80Whr) about 0.7 times
- Lenovo Legion Go S (55Whr) about 1 time
- Apple iPhone 17 (14Whr) about 4.2 times
- Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (20Whr) about 3 times
The 100W output can fast charge nearly all phones and gaming handhelds
The Baseus Blade has USB Type-C ports that provides up to 100W of power output but it will automatically throttle down to whatever maximum rate the plugged-in device accepts. The Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 can only accept a maximum of 18W-30W of power output. The Steam Deck can accept up to 45W. The Legion Go S accepts up to 55W. The Xbox ROG Ally X can actually accept charging rates of up to 100W.
This power bank can be brought onto airplanes
You don't need to worry about being stopped at airports. The 20,000mAh 74Whr capacity is well below TSA's 27,000mAh/100Whr carry-on limit, so you are safely in the clear.

Riftbound’s 2026 Set Release Schedule Is Taking Shape, But Can Riot Keep Up With Demand?

Riftbound landed late in 2025, and the general vibe around Riot’s League of Legends card game has been that it’s fun to play - it’s just not always easy to get hold of.
With an Origins restock dropping this week, the Riot storefront once again crashed out, leaving players frustrated in their attempts to get starter sets, decks, packs, and more.
While it remains to be seen if Riot can fix those teething issues from its first set, the good news is that there are four planned for 2026. Here’s everything coming to Riftbound this year.
February 13 - Spiritforged
Spiritforged will be the first post-launch set for Riftbound, and will likely give us a good idea of what to expect from sets going forward.
New this time around are mechanics like Equipment which can be attached to Units, Gold that can be spent, and new keywords like Quick-Draw, Repeat, and Weaponmaster.
As for new Legends, you’ll be able to grab cardboard versions of Azir, Draven, Ezreal, Fiora, Jax, Rumble, Rek’Sai, Ornn, Sivir, Lucian, Rneata Glasc, and Irelia.
Q2 2026 - Unleashed

While other TCGs (ahem, Magic: The Gathering) will overlap previews with releases, Riot is squarely focused on Spiritforged for now - so details about Unleashed are pretty scarce at the time of writing.
Expect it to introduce new mechanics as with its predecessor, but we’re also expecting to see the arrival of fan-favorite Vi as a Legend, alongside Master Yi, Rengar, and LeBlanc.
We’ll update this page as more information becomes available.
Q3 2026 - Vendetta
Again, information for another upcoming set is thin on the ground for Riftbound’s Vendetta. We know it’ll come in Q3 (or at least, that’s the plan), and that Mel, Akali, and Ambessa are likely to arrive.
Riot has also suggested that Vendetta will see it merge the Chinese and North American release schedules into one. Here’s hoping the supply issues are sorted by then…
Q4 2026 - Radiance
While we have the set name for Radiance, we have no further information. What Legends will it include? What mechanics? ANYTHING!?
Until Riot is ready to talk, it remains a mystery, but as always we’ll have this page updated as we hear more.
What about Origins?
Origins is still Riftbound’s current set, and while it’s tough to get hold of, that should get easier in the coming months (otherwise, Riot will be in big trouble).
The launch set’s tutorial set, dubbed Proving Grounds, is still going for inflated prices on the secondary market, making it tricky to, you know, learn how to play the game.
The same can be said of the preconstructed decks for Jinx, Lee Sin, and Victor, but anecdotally, I’ve at least seen some stock of those on local game stores, even if they’re not always readily available online.
Boosters are a mixed bag - sometimes you’ll find some, but you’re unlikely to find a box right now.
As we said at launch: “Sadly, as the first set of Riot’s first card game hits shelves, it’s being snapped up by scalpers and put on the secondary market.
“It’s a standard practice in TCGs, but Riot is reportedly printing more. If you can hold out, there will be more product.”
That still rings true today - stay strong, and wait it out.

'Some Things Never Leave The Walls' — Silent Hill 2 Developer Teases Next Project Reveal in February

Silent Hill 2, Layers of Fear and Cronos: The New Dawn developer Bloober Team is teasing a reveal of some kind that's set to take place in February.
A creepy countdown website, found at remosdneulserorehsoovamceyerd.com, is currently ticking down the 17 days and various hours, minutes and seconds until Valentine's Day, February 14, when all will be revealed.
Visit the website today and there's a new snippet of text — "Some things never leave the walls. They only learn to wait." — as well as a button you can press to hear an excerpt from some poetry.
"Thou art sick... invisible flies in the night..." an intense-sounding voice reads out when the website's Play button is pressed. "Howling storm has found out thy bed of crimson joy... Dark secret thy life destroy." These sections are snippets of a William Blake poem named "The Sick Rose" — which could be a hint to what this is all about.
Alongside the Valentine's Day date and an image of a rose (which, when clicked, begins to bleed), clearly roses are a big theme here. It's enough that some fans have speculated that the tease is for a new Rule of Rose game, or remake of the original.
Released back in 2006 for PlayStation 2, the PlayStation-published survival horror title would seem to be within Bloober Team's wheelhouse. And, of course, Silent Hill fans needn't worry — the developer is also working on a remake of the franchise's original game too.

PlayStation Plus February 2026 Game Line-Up Confirmed, Includes Undisputed and Ace Combat 7
Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus monthly games for February 2026, and confirmed the previously-leaked inclusion of Undisputed.
Four titles will be available for PlayStation Plus subscribers to claim next month, from Tuesday, February 3 until Monday, March 2. These are Undisputed, Subnautica: Below Zero, Ultros and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.
This is also a great time to remind PlayStation Plus members that you still have until February 2 to add January's games to your library, which include Need for Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and Core Keeper.

As reported earlier this week, boxing game Undisputed will be part of next month's offerings. Originally launched in October 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, Undisputed is notable for being the first major licensed boxing video game in over a decade, since the EA-published Fight Night Champion.
"Developer Steel City Interactive's approach to boxing in Undisputed is on the right track, but there's a long road ahead of it," IGN wrote in its Undisputed review, which returned a 6/10 score.
It will be joined by fighter jet game Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, which launched back in 2019 for PlayStation 4. IGN's Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown review dubbed it as "a great-looking arcade flight combat game... weighed down by its weird and convoluted but persistent story and poor communication of objectives." Ultimately, we rated the game with a 7/10 score.
Rounding out February's additions are Ultros, a colorful indie Metroidvania from one of the brains behind Hotline Miami, and Subnautica: Below Zero, the leaner but meaner follow-up to one of the best ever open-world survival games.
"Another big, frosty bite of one of the best open world survival games to come along since the genre's inception," IGN wrote in our Subnautica: Below Zero review, scoring it 9/10. "It might not be as massive as the original, but there is so much style and substance packed into each trench, cave, and bloodthirsty shark-squid-thing that it's hard to complain."
So, anything here take your fancy?

Hot Toys Finally Gives KPop: Demon Hunters Fans the Figures They Crave

An awful lot of people were caught off guard by the unexpected success of Sony and Netflix's KPop: Demon Hunters in 2025, which explains why there haven't been very many licensed collectibles for the animated film yet. But that's finally changing, and now Hot Toys is getting in on the fun with a trio of awesome new figures.
Fittingly, Hot Toys will be releasing figures of all three members of demon-slaying pop band HUNTR/X, including Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. Get a closer look at all three figures in the slideshow gallery below:
Like most Hot Toys figures, these are 1:6 scale figures that measure between 11 and 12 inches tall. Each figure features a seamless body, a detailed outfit inspired by the film, rotating eyeballs, interchangeable facial expressions, and a host of weapons and accessories (including the obligatory ramyun cups, of course).
The Rumi figure is priced at $280, while Mira and Zoey are priced at $260 each. All three figures are slated for release between January and June of 2027. You can currently preorder all three figures on Sideshow Collectibles' website.
Hopefully, this is just the start of Hot Toys KPop: Demon Hunters figures. Which other characters do you most want to see? Do we need a full set of Saja Boys? More outfits for the HUNTR/X crew? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
In other Hot Toys news, the company recently debuted a killer Arkham Origins Batman figure.
