You asked for info on drop rates, so here’s how it works: The new treasure this season is found in chests just like other items. Treasure drop rates from chests are constant since season launch and don’t vary throughout the day, except during Treasure Hours. Other than Gizmos, you can’t get the same treasure twice. Every time you open a chest in a normal match, here’s how likely you are to find the treasures: • 1:1,562,500 - Weekly Gold Outfit • 1:137,500 - Pirate Shop Access • 1:7,813 - Weekly Vehicle & Decal • 1:568 - Weekly Pickaxe or Backbling • 1:391 - Weekly Jam Track • 1:272 - Weekly Loading Screen • 1:127 - Gizmo (any) During Treasure Hours, including the one earlier today, these treasures have a boosted rate: • Pirate Shop Access: 1.5x • Weekly Gold Outfit: 7.5x • Weekly Vehicle & Decal: 10x These rates may be higher in future Treasure Hours. If so, we’ll let you know. For instance, during tonight’s 9-11pm ET Treasure Hour, Pirate Shop Access will be boosted to 2.0x and Weekly Gold Outfit to 10.0x.

Roblox just released a letter to shareholders. - Over 80% of the top 100 Roblox games now use AI. - Steal an Egg and Huss Valley are almost 100% AI generated. - More than 70,000 games have been AI generated with Roblox Build.

Hey everyone, there’s been some questions going on around here about Epic’s use of AI in Unreal Engine development. I’ve answered some questions from the good folks at This Week in Videogames. TLDR: Yes we are using AI in UE development (as we actually mentioned back at Unreal Fest) and it’s helping with pretty much everything. thisweekinvideogames.com/new…

Look, no matter how much you hate AI or vibe coding there's no way in hell a standard desktop application can do this. I could go on a long rant but I'll keep it blunt -- the error on the screen is a corrupted efi partition/boot loader. The epic games launcher has nothing to do with that. It's not even allowed anywhere near that. Using it as a scapegoat here is ignorant.
Thanks for vibecoding your new launcher @EpicGames you have fucked my pc

It’s not the Epic Games Launcher that caused this, it’s a larger issue with this PC like a faulty GPU, bad video memory, or failing SSD that any piece of software could’ve triggered. These folks are on the right path: nitter.gq/AmarethMPS/status/2127… nitter.gq/DavidTheTechMTI/status… nitter.gq/tsukinoazura/status/21…
yeah the launcher didnt do that you've gone something else going wrong

Kernel Hearts success on Epic Games Store is a powerful example — bringing awesome content to players in a collaborative way that supports developers.
It's been a month since we released Kernel Hearts, and we had one of the most unique launches! We're one (I believe) of the few non-exclusive games that managed to sell more on the Epic Games Store than on Steam, and for good reason... People love Fernet! Here are some numbers:

Roughly 6 out of every 10 copies sold across PC were on the Epic Games Store, 3 on Steam and 1 on Xbox. This is a pretty unusual split, especially considering that the game is available on all storefronts at pretty much the same price... [CONT]

A month ago, we released Kernel Hearts. We always knew this game would stay in our hearts forever, but seeing it resonate with so many people has been a dream come true. Today, we’re celebrating over 160k units sold. That’s life-changing for a small team like ours. Thank you all for your support! We hope you enjoy what we have in store for November! 💖 ✌️

When Epic gets things wrong, we should call them out, but when they do something good, we should give them credit too. And honestly, aside from a few minor details, this Discovery design is by far the best one we’ve had so far. It looks amazing! Good job Epic 👏!
