The Trading Card Game is making its way to the Apple Store and Google Play in the form of Pokémon Trading Card Game Live. Players will soon be able to add new cards, buy in-game booster packs, and complete daily quests on the go from the comfort of their phone or PC.
Pokémon TCG online has existed for quite some time now. However, this is the first time the game is coming to mobile, which is causing a bit of confusion among players. Pokémon Trading Card Game Live seems to be a total rebranding of the existing online trading card game, Pokémon TCG Online.
I’m confused as to what is different from the online tcg we already have

The new, Pokémon Trading Card Game Live will carry over players’ collections from Pokémon Trading Card Game Online and finally brings the experience to mobile phones. TCG Online players won’t be able to transfer Pokémon TCG cards from HeartGold & Soul Silver, avatar items, unopened products, in-game currency, friends lists, or saved decks.
This new version implements content and accessories unlockable by completing daily quests. There will also be a Battle Pass with extra daily quests, similar to Fortnite‘s system.
One of the new additions that is confusing existing TCG online players is the three new currencies. There are coins, credits, and crystals, which all are used to unlock different things in the game. Another downside of the new mobile TCG is that players will not be able to trade cards with others in Trading Card Game Live.
Most likely to keep confusion to a minimum, it was reported that Pokémon TCG Online will be shut down before the release of Pokémon TCG Live.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
