Apple has released its first round of Background Security Enhancements to address a vulnerability in WebKit affecting iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-20643, relates to a cross-origin issue in the WebKit Navigation API. This could allow an attacker to bypass the same-origin policy by processing malicious web content, jeopardizing user security.
Apple’s new strategy
The implementation of these security improvements is carried out through smaller and continuous updates, allowing for a more agile response to potential threats. This strategy is similar to the Security Rapid Response system introduced in iOS 16, designed to facilitate the installation of minor security patches without having to wait for larger software updates. The new versions affect iOS 26.3.1, iPadOS 26.3.1, and the versions of macOS 26.3.1 and 26.3.2, with improvements in input validation to mitigate risk.
Any user can manage these security improvements through the Privacy and Security menu in the Settings app. To ensure the automatic installation of these updates, it is recommended to keep the Automatic Installation option enabled. If this option is disabled, users will have to wait until the next major software update to receive the patches.
Additionally, this update comes shortly after Apple addressed an actively exploited zero-day, which affected multiple operating systems, and also expands patches for several vulnerabilities that were used in the Coruna exploit kit. These moves reinforce Apple’s commitment to security and its ability to respond quickly to emerging threats.

Nintendo has surprised the gaming world by launching a new title from the iconic Fire Emblem franchise for mobile devices, titled Fire Emblem Shadows. The news follows the recent Nintendo Direct presentation, where the next game in the series, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, was revealed. With this new installment, Nintendo aims to diversify its offerings and capture the attention of fans of the saga.
A new Fire Emblem for mobile
Fire Emblem Shadows combines elements of strategy and social deduction, taking players to control a group of warriors who must choose between Light and Shadow. As they progress through dungeons, players will face the challenge of identifying a traitor among their allies, which adds a new level of complexity to the typical gameplay of Fire Emblem.
Unlike previous games in the series, which are characterized by their turn-based combat format, Fire Emblem Shadows incorporates real-time battles. This radical change allows users to designate specific areas of the battlefield for each character, promoting a more agile and reactive gameplay dynamic.
This release goes beyond a simple game; it aims to attract both veterans of Fire Emblem and new players who might be interested in the blend of strategy and social analysis. Moreover, the immediate availability of the title on iOS and Android devices makes it accessible to a wide audience. With this installment, Nintendo reaffirms its commitment to innovation in the franchise, maintaining the essence that has captivated millions of players over the years.
Fire Emblem Shadows is now available, which promises to be a new milestone in the evolution of the series. Fans of the saga are eager to discover what else the future holds for Fire Emblem after these recent announcements.

A recent investigation has revealed that one third of applications on Android and more than half of applications on iOS have serious API leakage issues. These flaws can compromise user security and alarmingly expose sensitive data. In a context where the protection of personal information is paramount, these findings raise questions about the responsibility of developers in safeguarding user privacy.
The ecosystem is anything but safe
The study has highlighted that many of these applications contain inadequately encoded secrets, potentially allowing unauthorized access to critical information. This problem not only affects consumers who use these applications to handle sensitive data, but also poses a considerable risk to the developers themselves, who could face legal and reputational repercussions if data breaches occur due to these vulnerabilities.
The leakage of APIs and sensitive information poses a serious risk in an environment where cybersecurity is becoming increasingly crucial. Application platforms must implement stricter regulations to ensure that developers follow best practices in handling sensitive information and coding secrets. Meanwhile, users must be aware of the risks associated with the applications they use and consider the validity of the security measures offered.
Technology companies are under pressure to quickly address these vulnerabilities to protect both their consumers and their own integrity. This growing security issue in mobile applications is an urgent reminder that cybersecurity must be a priority in software development and maintenance. As always, users are advised to keep their devices and applications updated and to stay informed about best security practices.
For football lovers, there is no game that surpasses Football Manager.

Professionals use it to improve in their jobs, and in fact, its databases are so incredible that they are used to scout players in real life.

For football lovers, there is no game that surpasses Football Manager. Neither FIFA nor PES offers the same experience as a game that allows you to take your favorite team and lead it to glory, managing it down to the smallest detail. Professionals use it to improve in their jobs, and in fact, its databases are so incredible that they are used to scout players in real life. Football Manager is an essential part of modern football, and yet, that has not prevented us from not having new releases in the last two years.
This has been a shame because, although we knew we weren’t going to have a release in 2024, it has always been an annual franchise. And the delay of the 2025 release has been a hard blow for the fans. With the 2026 release just announced, there is still quite a wait to be able to play the new iteration of the franchise, but that doesn’t mean fans have nothing to hold them over in the meantime.
A new Football Manager that is very old
Kevin Toms published a game called Kevin Toms Football Star Manager on August 14th on Steam, iOS, and Android. Basically, a remaster of the original Football Manager, released in 1982, and now available to play with updated graphics and UI. Not much. Just enough to be playable and enjoyable in 2025, but still faithful and consistent with what it was in 1982. Only with a different name, as although they have the exploitation rights of the game, the rights to the name are held by SEGA and Sports Interactive.
The game published in 1982 was a true engineering masterpiece written entirely in BASIC. Although the names of teams and players are real and in accordance with 1982, you always start in the fourth division and our goal is to get our team to the first division and compete and win the FA Cup.
From here on, everything is what we know about Football Manager. We must manage our players’ energy and morale, the values in each field of our players are compared to the values of the opposing players, and a relatively primitive representation of a football match is displayed on screen without us being able to do anything about it. That’s up to the players. What we can do is transfer players, manage finances, and even request loans, demonstrating that the foundations of everything we love about Football Manager are already present in this early version of the game.
Old, but new
Of course, Kevin Toms Football Star Manager takes some liberties. Originally released for PCs in 1982 and for 8-bit consoles, the graphics and UI were very basic. That’s why, as we mentioned, this re-release is closer to a new version of the original game, a remaster, that gives a slight graphical and mechanical update to the game. With stylized texts and visuals that are reminiscent of the 8-bit style, and with more customization options, the game feels like the original but is designed to be fully enjoyable by today’s standards.
The reason we haven’t had a Football Manager in 2024 or 2025 is that they are changing game engines, moving from their proprietary engine to Unity, but this has given Kevin Tom the opportunity to create this version of the original game. We should appreciate it for what it is: something very interesting and fun that we should take advantage of. And at not even 6 euros, what better way to spend the summer than with a bit of classic Football Manager?
Sometimes some things seem to come out of nowhere. Overnight a game, a series, or a movie seems to be everywhere and it seems to make no sense at all. We are not talking, of course, about those works that have studied and gargantuan marketing campaigns, but about those that without apparent advertising suddenly seem to be everywhere. The works that seem to capture people’s minds without us even realizing it, at least until they are already extremely popular. This has been the case with the latest sensation on Steam, Umamusume: […]
Sometimes some things seem to come out of nowhere. Overnight a game, a series, or a movie seems to be everywhere and it makes no sense at all. We are not talking, of course, about those works that have studied and gargantuan marketing campaigns, but about those that without apparent advertising suddenly seem to be everywhere. The works that seem to capture people’s minds without us even realizing it, at least until they are already extremely popular.
This has been the case with the latest sensation on Steam, Umamusume: Pretty Derby. With around 40,000 concurrent players consistently since its launch, the game has taken social media by storm. Something you may have noticed if you’ve suddenly read people talking about their different horse, leaving you quite confused about it. But we are here to help you understand what this is all about.
Horse racing, idols, and a premise that’s hard to explain
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a transmedia franchise created by Cygames, a Japanese video game company specialized in mobile games. Particularly known for Granblue Fantasy and The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, its biggest success to date is Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a game whose release was originally planned for late 2018, but was delayed until February 2021 in Asian countries and until February 25 of this same year in the rest of the world. It has become an almost automatic success in all territories where it has been released.
What is Umamusume: Pretty Derby about? In a world very similar to ours, there exists a species of anthropomorphic horse-girls —they have the speed, endurance, and the tail and ears of a horse, but everything else of an adorable anime girl— who train in academies to become both racing stars and musical idols.
The game puts us in the shoes of a coach who must ensure that these girls achieve their goals. We must train them and make sure they improve their attributes to perform well in races, but also to do well in dance and singing exhibitions, to finally help our favorite horse-girl reach the top. Becoming the top idol in the world.
All of this sounds strange. And it is. But the reality is that it combines many elements that make it very addictive if one decides to give it a chance. The character development mechanics are deep, the mix of horse racing and gacha is a hellish dopamine dispenser, the girls are adorable, and the gameplay loop hooks you with great ease. This results in the fact that, despite it being difficult to give it a chance due to the peculiarity of its premise, it becomes very hard to abandon it once we have immersed ourselves in it.
A success that was to be expected, seeing how it has performed in Asia
In fact, upon its arrival in the West, the numbers it shows have not been a surprise. Both in Japan and South Korea, it is an extremely popular game, having reached the top of the most profitable mobile games for Cygames in recent years. An admirable feat given the tremendous competition they have in these countries.
Additionally, the game has sparked a renewed interest in horse racing. Or to be exact, in the horses of horse racing. For while the girls in the game are anime girls with adorable animal traits, they are inspired by real racehorses. This has led many people, especially in Japan, to create fan clubs or even make pilgrimages to meet their favorite horses. Thus creating a new paradigm that did not exist until now.
Because besides, Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a multimedia franchise. With several animes, mangas, and a theater play, it has proven to have the ability to attract a large audience. And now that it has arrived both on Steam and mobile platforms, iOS and Android, it is showing that it can also attract that same number of people in the West.
So don’t be surprised if you see people on social media talking about their favorite horse. They haven’t gone crazy nor have they fallen into the world of sports betting. Or it’s not likely to be that. They are probably talking about Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a game you can play for free on both PC and mobile devices, and it seems that it will continue to be a topic of conversation for a long time.
Infinity Nikki, the latest title in the gacha genre, has arrived on Steam after months of success on its own launch platform. However, its debut has been met with mixed reviews, achieving only 53% positive ratings among users at the current time. This lukewarm reception is largely due to the issues caused by patch 1.5, which players have described as problematic. One user commented that “the patch has more bugs than a triple-A on launch day,” while another stated that their computer, capable of running demanding games like Baldur’s Gate […]
Infinity Nikki, the latest title in the gacha genre, has arrived on Steam after months of success on its own launch platform. However, its debut has been met with mixed reviews, achieving only 53% positive feedback from users at the current time. This lukewarm reception is largely due to the issues caused by patch 1.5, which players have described as problematic. One user commented that “the patch has more bugs than a triple-A on launch day,” while another stated that their computer, capable of running demanding games like Baldur’s Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077, is “unplayable” with this update.
An update that has made the game much more unstable
Reports about the game indicate the presence of multiple bugs and unstable gameplay, which have affected its overall reception. The issues are not exclusive to the Steam version, as they have also been documented on iOS, Android, and other launch platforms. Additionally, difficulties in starting the game on Linux operating systems have been reported, which could be related to the anti-cheat system implemented by the developer, Infold Games. Players have experienced freezes across all platforms, which has increased discontent among the community.
Despite these difficulties, Infinity Nikki has managed to attract a segment of players who value its relaxing tone and focus on fashion. However, the division in the community is evident, as many are frustrated not only by the technical issues but also by the game’s aggressive monetization system, which allows special outfits to be purchased at prices that can reach hundreds of euros. With these concerns, the developers have urged players to use the bug reporting tool, although some have not even been able to access the game menu.
There are excellent mobile games, but sometimes it’s the platform where you least feel like playing. Even though it’s convenient to play anywhere, without being tied to a fixed screen in a physical location, that doesn’t mean it’s the best place to play for many people. Where we have a big screen and a controller, or a proper keyboard and mouse, all mobile devices can take a back seat. That’s why we’ve chosen eight excellent mobile games that you can find on Steam and that you shouldn’t miss just because you don’t want to play them on your phone. […]
There are excellent mobile games, but sometimes it’s the platform that feels the least appealing to play on. Even though it’s convenient to play anywhere, without being tied to a fixed screen in a physical location, that doesn’t mean it’s the best place to play for many people. Where we have a large screen and a controller, or a proper keyboard and mouse, all mobile devices can take a back seat. That’s why we’ve chosen eight excellent mobile games that you can find on Steam and that you shouldn’t miss just because you don’t want to play them on your phone.
Having arrived on Steam literally yesterday, April 28, this is one of the big surprises of last year. Behind its sweet aesthetic clearly aimed at a female audience, there is an excellent open-world adventure game with a captivating narrative and more than interesting puzzle and exploration mechanics. A game that deserves a chance if you are a fan of the last two The Legend of Zelda or Genshin Impact.
The grandfather of all modern RPGs is Wizardry, but it hasn’t had a game worthy of its name for many years. At least until they released this gacha last year where you don’t need to invest a single euro to play. Now playable on PC, it’s the perfect time to discover one of the Wizardry games that has best captured the old-school essence of the franchise while adapting to a modern sensibility, all without abandoning what makes Wizardry the franchise it is.
Created by Ustwo Games, this trilogy of games was born for iOS but has made its way to PC, collecting numerous awards and critical acclaim along the way. And it’s no wonder. It is a puzzle game with absolutely exceptional artistic design, featuring fascinating puzzles that continue to grow with each new sequel, feeling more than just a mobile game due to its tremendous finish. One of those must-have games for puzzle lovers. Or for lovers of good games.
Another game that is on its third installment and, justly, started its journey simultaneously on PC and mobile. Being a 2D Action RPG in the style of the classic The Legend of Zelda, its two greatest achievements are being tremendously beautiful and adorable and having a fascinating open world. Improving tremendously with each new sequel, it is a franchise that has managed to find its own personality and whose fans eagerly await each new installment for good reasons.
The great Disney game of recent years is taking the mobile world by storm, but you don’t have to play it outside of your PC if you don’t want to. Available since its launch on both consoles and computers, this life and adventure simulator invites us to dive into the Disney worlds and discover what it is like to be a Disney princess, or at least, an inhabitant of their worlds. All of this while Donald gets angry non-stop for reasons we don’t quite understand.
If there is an absolutely hilarious game that many more people should play, it is What the Golf? A game that originally came out for iOS and just a month later for PC, and that you shouldn’t miss. Why? Because it is a golf game where absolutely nothing works like in real golf. Sometimes you have stealth missions. Sometimes you are the ball. Sometimes the rules are those of soccer. What are you doing reading instead of running to play it?
The latest game from the creator of Final Fantasy was locked on Apple mobiles for years, causing many fans to miss out. Now Fantasian Neon Dimension is available for PC and consoles to prove that its creator still knows how to make tremendously memorable and unique games in the form of some of the best JRPGs in the world.
World of Goo was one of the first indies to stand out. How can a sequel be 15 years later? A metanarrative madness about the very existence of the sequel to World of Goo that is, moreover, an excellent sequel in its own right. Because World of Goo 2 is also World of Goo 3. And World of Goo 4. And we could keep going like this for quite a while, but if you like World of Goo, it’s better to experience it for yourself rather than stopping to explain it to you.

Ubisoft has revealed its latest title, Might & Magic: Fates, a free collectible card game that incorporates elements of blockchain and non-fungible tokens. Despite the resistance it has encountered in certain sectors of the gaming community due to its focus on Web3 technology, the company continues to explore ways to integrate these new mechanisms into its releases.
An announcement with a more than questionable audience
Might & Magic: Fates, developed in collaboration with Immutable, will allow players to collect cards, build decks, and engage in strategic duels where adaptation and tactics will be key to victory. The game promises a rich experience in the Might & Magic universe, combining mythical creatures, epic heroes, and spells, which could attract fans of the franchise.
Although the title will feature an optional Web3 layer that will enable card trading through the blockchain, Ubisoft assures that this will not be a requirement to fully enjoy the title. According to their Frequently Asked Questions section, players will still be able to expand their collection and enjoy all the game mechanics without the need to make transactions on the blockchain, emphasizing that this integration is completely optional and does not provide any competitive advantage.
The company has announced that Might & Magic: Fates will be available “soon” for Android and iOS mobile devices, and later for PC, which will allow access to a larger audience. In addition, Ubisoft is in the process of developing another title within the saga, Might & Magic: Olden Era, which will be released in early access during the summer, increasing expectations among fans.

More reasons to keep your phone in hand all day
In a strategic move, Timi Studios has announced that Delta Force will be available on Android and iOS devices on April 21, 2025. This mobile launch promises next-gen graphics and superior performance, surpassing the competition by 30-50%. With features that include the ability to perform on a portable device, the company hopes to attract a new legion of players.
Those interested in playing from day one can pre-register on Google Play or the App Store, which will allow them to receive exclusive rewards whose value will depend on the total number of registrations made. The developers have emphasized that as milestones in the number of pre-registrations are reached, players will receive more items to use within the game, a tactic that reinforces community engagement and participation.
In addition, the Timi Studios team has confirmed that the versions for PS5 and Xbox Series are in development, moving towards the polishing phase, focused on improving aspects such as performance optimization and user interface. A limited beta for these consoles is anticipated during the summer of 2025, which could further increase the excitement among console shooter fans.
With these developments, Delta Force positions itself as a serious competitor in the genre, offering players multiple platforms and gaming experiences that promise to break boundaries in interactive entertainment.
The beta of iOS 18.4 (not to be confused with beta 4 of iOS 18) is now available for members of the developer program and public beta, although it has not yet reached non-beta users. This new version brings a series of improvements aimed at optimizing the iPhone user experience, notably the inclusion of a countdown timer for two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, a feature that makes it easier to use these codes that change every 30 seconds. A more secure operating system, that is the goal of iOS 18.4 […]
The beta of iOS 18.4 (do not confuse with beta 4 of iOS 18) is now available for members of the developer program and public beta, although it has not yet reached non-beta users.
This new version brings a series of improvements aimed at optimizing the user experience of the iPhone, notably the inclusion of a countdown timer for two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, a feature that makes it easier to use these codes that change every 30 seconds.
A more secure operating system, that is the goal of iOS 18.4
One of the most important features of Apple Passwords is its fusion between a password manager and an authenticator. Previously, the problem was that 2FA codes did not inform the user when they were going to expire, complicating the login process.
With the new update, a green ring is implemented that gradually fills over 30 seconds, allowing users to have a clear indication of the remaining time until the code becomes nonexistent.
In addition to this improvement in authentication, iOS 18.4 introduces extra icons on larger CarPlay screens, AI-driven priority notifications, a new Genmoji icon for the keyboard, and additional language options for Apple Intelligence.
The final version of iOS 18.4 is likely to be released in April 2024, according to rumors. Until then, users will have to wait to enjoy all the improvements and features that this new operating system has to offer, while the gloomy points of the beta raise doubts about the arrival of some promises made by Apple in the past.
