Only a few hours after the Marvel Rivals Season 5 update added the new ‘Times Square’ game mode, allowing up to 100 players to hang out with each other in a shared (and non-violent) environment, players have already managed to find glitches that allow them to go out of bounds and access parts of the map that shouldn’t be reachable.
This glitch doesn’t provide any competitive advantage to the player whatsoever since it can only be pulled off in a game mode where you can’t harm others, but it can still be a fun way to surprise your friends and strangers alike.
Marvel Rivals Times Square Out of Bounds Glitch
To get yourself out of bounds in the new Times Square map in Marvel Rivals, you first need to pick Punisher and head to the subway entrance.
Once there, you’ll have to go to the left corner of the entrance and line yourself up as shown in this image.
Now, all you need to do is place your Turret and face a bit to the left so that your character clips through the wall, then switch to a flying character.
If done correctly, you’ll find yourself out of bounds and under the map once you switch characters. You’ll also be able to move freely and see other players while you’re down there.
That’s everything you need to know about how to do the out-of-bounds glitch in the Marvel Rivals Times Square game mode.

Team Falcons has booked their revenge match against FURIA in BLAST Rivals Season 2, beating Vitality with a 2-0 scoreline. Surviving a close call on the first map and dominating the second, Falcons steamed ahead to the Grand Finals ahead of the World Number 1.
Solid conversion of the pistol kicked things off for the Falcons, with Vitality hitting the board with the first gun round. A slow and methodical approach against the Falcons opened up their defence with relative ease, for Vitality was by far the better side in the first half. Falcons managed 5 rounds to remain competitive, and a m0NESY 1v3 clutch turned the fate around for his side. Despite a poor start, the Falcons found a late resurgence, pushing the game to overtime, where they continued their T-side domination, and a flawless defence closed it out, giving them an early lead in the series. The 25 kills from m0NESY put him ahead of his teammates, and it was the main reason for stopping Vitality from running all over the Falcons.
Map 2: Nuke; Pick: Falcons; Winner: Falcons
A 5-0 start for the Falcons set the tone of the game early on. Falcons remained largely dominant for the better part of the half; however, Vitality’s defence recovered later in the game, making it competitive before it was Falcons’ turn to defend. Vitality, having secured a close scoreline, fumbled the chance to make a comeback as Falcons did not let them have anything more than 2 rounds before closing the game with a dominant 13-7 scoreline and making a statement win ahead of the Grand Finals. ZyWoo, despite being the best player on the server, could not pull his team’s weight as Falcons, with m0NESY topping the charts, proved to be too united a front to be taken down.
Falcons has booked their place in the Grand Finals against FURIA, a team they would like to get revenge on. Having suffered a total blowout in Chengdu, NiKo and team will be coming into the event with a clear goal. Can they prevail against FURIA? Only time will tell.
Grammy-winner Tyler, The Creator officially dropped into Fortnite on November 14, 2025, bringing his unique creative vision to Epic Games’ blockbuster battle royale. The event represents the latest high-profile addition to Fortnite’s prestige Icon Series, following in the footsteps of hip-hop legends like Travis Scott, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg.
The Tyler, The Creator bundle hit the Fortnite Item Shop on November 14 at 7 PM ET, bringing with it not one but two unique skins representing different eras of the artist’s career. The first outfit pulls in Tyler’s iconic Odd Future aesthetic, while the second reveals his bold Chromakopian character from his critically acclaimed 2024 album Chromakopia. Each skin offers multiple selectable styles, including three style options in the Chromakopian outfit along with a creepy mask toggle, while the classic Tyler skin features three hat color variations along with cel-shaded styling.
The full collaboration goes well beyond just skins, though. There are more than 15 cosmetic items that players can buy, including several unusual emotes, such as “Thought I Was Dead” and “Lil’ Golf Cart,” multiple back blings like the Earfshaker and Mini Tyler, and special Fortnite Festival instruments, including the Chroma Vox microphone and Earfshaker drums. Perhaps one of the most unusual items included in the collection is the Converse Chuck 70 ‘Cherry Bomb’ by Golf Wang kicks, one of the few footwear cosmetics in the game, which retails for 1,000 V-Bucks.
Music integration plays a central role in this crossover. Epic Games added three Jam Tracks featuring Tyler’s hit songs: “EARFQUAKE” from his Grammy-winning album Igor of 2019, “Ring Ring Ring” from his latest 2025 project Don’t Tap the Glass, and “Sticky” from Chromakopia. Each track costs 500 V-Bucks and can be played in Fortnite Festival mode, allowing players to jam to Tyler’s distinctive sound while they are battling.
The entire Tyler, The Creator collection costs 3,200 V-Bucks and comes with the EARFQUAKE Jam Track. Individual items start at 300 V-Bucks for back blings to 1,500 V-Bucks for an outfit each, so players can pick and choose what they want. The collaboration will stay in the Item Shop through Nov. 30, 2025, as it coincides with the end of the current Simpsons-themed mini-season and into Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1.
PaiN and Vitality reach the semi-finals of BLAST Rivals Season 2, beating PassionUA and Spirit, respectively. Two back-to-back bangers of a match with outcomes that would surprise no one. PaiN and Vitality dropped standout performances in their own way, setting up mouth-watering matches in the semi-finals.
PaiN found a resurgence in form against Tyloo. PaiN started strong on the offense of Nuke against PassionUA. Starting the half with 8 rounds to their name, paiN let only 4 rounds go the other way and remained flawless for the rest of the half. A 5-0 run in the second half saw the Brazilians end their map pick with a dominant 13-4 scoreline. PassionUA started better on their own map pick, securing 5 rounds on the offense of Inferno before rolling it back to post 6 rounds and close the half with a 13-7 scoreline. Dgt and Biguzera with kills and impact proved instrumental in paiN’s strong performance before they move to the semi-finals to face Furia.
The match of the day started with a banger, with Vitality and Spirit trading blows for blows in the first half of the latter pick of Dust 2. Switching sides with a levelled scoreline, Spirit managed to pull ahead early in the series and hit map point before Vitality. Vitality did manage to fight back, but that was far from enough, with Spirit edging it out right in the final round of regulation and winning the game with a 13-11 scoreline. Yet another levelled scoreline to start the second map of the series, Nuke saw a tougher contest compared to the map before. Spirit and Vitality remain inseparable for two overtime periods before Vitality put together a few rounds to somehow take the series to a 3rd map. Starting Mirage, Vitality went 6-1 up Vitality fell to a late resurgence from Spirit as the half got close, with the CIS roster trailing with a 7-5 scoreline. The second map once again failed to separate both teams, with Spirit taking the game to overtime, where a perfect offence paved the way for an easy 16-13 win for Vitality.
PaiN beating PassionUA sets up a Brazilian derby for the semi-finals against FURIA, while Vitality will be facing Falcons, arguably the best team in the event. Two exciting matches with compelling storylines, but only two teams will make it to the next round of play. Tune in to see who will be the ones to make it to the semi-finals.
The Pick’Ems for Stage 1 of the upcoming Budapest Major 2025 CS2 event are now live, and fans only have ten more days to lock in their picks before the action begins.
While any CS2 player can participate in the Budapest Major 2025 Stage 1 Pick’Ems, only those who grab the Viewer Pass for the event will be able to earn Souvenir Tokens upon making correct picks and making progress on their tournament coin.
Similar to previous Majors, players eyeing the prestigious Diamond coin will need to hit at least five of their ten picks in Stage 1 to stay in contention.
This guide will help you navigate the Stage 1 Pick’Ems and everything you’ll need to know to keep your Diamond coin dreams alive.
Budapest Major 2025 Stage 1 Pick’Ems Guide
Before we get into the guide, it’s important to note that the current format of CS2 Majors makes Pick’Ems inherently volatile, and Stage 1 is particularly challenging as this is the phase that’s most prone to upsets.
With that being said, this article includes our picks for the Budapest Major 2025 Stage 1 Pick’Ems. We’ve taken into account the recent performances of all the participating teams alongside a bunch of other factors while making these picks, but we strongly recommend readers do their own research before locking in their picks.
Best Stage 1 Picks for Budapest Major 2025
Without further ado, let’s check out our picks for Budapest Major 2025 Stage 1:
3-0 Picks: Legacy, B8
0-3 Picks: The Huns, Rare Atom
Qualifying Picks: Lynn Vision, Fnatic, FaZe Clan, GamerLegion, FlyQuest, Ninjas in Pyjamas
Legacy, B8, GamerLegion, and FaZe Clan are easily the most popular teams for the 3-0 spot in this event. However, FaZe hasn’t been in the best form recently, ever since the departure of rain, and while they still have a solid roster, there’s a good chance they drop a map along the way, even if they ultimately qualify.
On the other hand, Legacy has been in stellar form recently, with all its players showing exceptional individual performances over the past months. GamerLegion and B8 are both equally strong teams, so feel free to swap out B8 for GL if you feel they have a better shot.
The Huns and Rare Atom are likely the safest bets for the 0-3 spot, as both teams primarily have experience playing against C-tier teams and consistently struggle when facing higher-tier lineups.
We have listed Lynn Vision, Fnatic, FaZe Clan, GamerLegion, FlyQuest, and Ninjas in Pyjamas as the 3-1 and 3-2 qualifying picks for the event. However, teams like Parivision and M80 also have a fair chance of stealing one of these spots, not to mention that any of the 3-0 candidates could drop a map and fall into this pool as well.
This unpredictability is exactly what makes the current format so difficult to predict, and makes the Diamond coin all the more valuable.
The latest CS2 update has added a new form of cosmetics to the game, Sticker Slabs, enabling players to turn any of their owned stickers into weapon charms.
These Sticker Slabs, which can be purchased directly via CS2, have a price tag of $0.50 USD and can be broken at any time to extract the sticker embedded in it and return it to the player’s inventory.
With this new addition, Valve effectively allows players to showcase their valuable stickers without the fear of committing them to a specific skin.
How to Use Sticker Slabs in CS2
To use a Sticker Slab in CS2 and turn your stickers into weapon charms, you’ll first have to buy them from the in-game store.
Here’s a detailed guide on how you can buy and use Sticker Slabs in CS2:
Launch CS2
Go to the ‘Store’ tab
Under the ‘Tools’ section, click on ‘Sticker Slab’
Select the number of slabs you wish to purchase and complete the transaction
Once you finish the checkout process, the Sticker Slabs will be added to your CS2 inventory.
Now all you need to do is find a sticker that you want to embed into the slab, click on it, and select ‘Seal in Sticker Slab’.
Now, hold the green button at the bottom of your screen to seal your sticker into the slab.

The Grand Finals will take place from November 14 to 16, 2025, and a total of 16 teams will compete.

From that moment on, the first Match Point Eligible team to get a WWCD (Winner Winner Chicken Dinner) will be crowned the champion. If none of the Match Point Eligible teams win within the final 6 matches, then the team with the highest total points after all matches will be declared the winner.

Arc Raiders just received its first major update this morning, introducing a bunch of exciting new content to the game for players to enjoy.
Highlights of the Arc Raiders North Line update include a Community Unlock event, new items, and a series of new quests alongside some much-needed bug fixes and desync improvements.
Without further ado, let’s check out everything you need to know about the Arc Raiders November 13 update.
Arc Raider North Line Update: What’s New?
There’s a lot to uncover in the Arc Raiders North Line update, with new events, rewards, and more waiting for players to explore.
For starters, the patch has introduced a Community Unlock event that players across the globe can take part in. The event tasks players with donating basic materials such as Metal Parts, Plastic Parts, and Fabric to a shared global supply effort. Once the collective donation goal is reached, the brand-new map “Stella Montis” will be unlocked for all players to explore.
Blue Gate is getting a new map modifier as well as a map event with this update, titled “Locked Gate” and “Matriarch”, respectively.
The Locked Gate event functions similarly to the Hidden Bunker event we’ve seen in Spaceport, requiring players to collect four keys from different locations and use them on a console to unlock — you guessed it — a locked gate.
The Matriarch map modifier expands Blue Gate with a new Matriarch Arc, functioning in a similar way to the Harvester modifier’s Queen Arc. However, even after multiple raids with the Matriarch modifier active, we were unable to locate the Matriarch Arc on the map. Several community reports also suggest that the modifier may currently be bugged or not functioning as intended.
Lastly, Arc Raiders is getting a number of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements that are detailed in the official patch notes page.
