Exclusive PC bang rewards in South Korea
In a region-specific twist, players in South Korea who log in from PC Bang Cafes can unlock temporary exclusive cosmetics. These rewards, however, only last for the duration of the PC Cafe session and won't be stored permanently in the user's Fortnite account.
While details remain scarce, this limited-time perk further highlights Epic's ongoing efforts to grow Fortnite's appeal in Asian markets, particularly with Heung Min Son's immense popularity in South Korea.

All of these Battle Passes mention the same end date and time - August 7, 2025, at 1:30 AM ET. As Fortnite follows an immediate season launch format, Season 4 is going to be launched on the same day when Season 3 ends. However, it's not like that Season 4 is going to be launched right after the second Season 3 gets expired, because there will be a server downtime immediately after the end of the current season, for a patch to implement the upcoming season. Epic Games yet to announce the server downtime for Season 4. However, the matchmaking process in Season 3 will be disabled half-an hour prior to the end time of the current season, that means at 1 AM ET on August 7.

Roblox's Grow a Garden sets record: Breaking down the success of idle games
A Roblox game titled 'Grow a Garden' has recently been making headlines for all the right reasons. For a long time, action-packed or strategy and shooting games have dominated the gaming community, but this time, a farming simulator game has reportedly shattered records. According to a Fortune report, Grow a Garden has claimed the top spot for having the most concurrent players of any game in history. Here's a breakdown of the success of the recently launched game. What is Grow a Garden Grow a Garden is a free-to-play farming simulation game on Roblox, launched in March 2025. In the game, players start with a small plot and basic crops, using in-game currency called Sheckles to plant, harvest, and expand their gardens. The game quickly became viral between May and June, after setting a record with over 21 million concurrent players, surpassing even Fortnite's all-time peak, as reported by The Economic Times. What might have led to its success The charm of Grow a Garden lies in its idle gameplay mechanics: crops continue growing even while you're offline, encouraging steady progress without constant attention. As you advance, you unlock dozens of crop types, pet companions that boost growth, and mutations that dramatically increase crop value. This, in a way, is akin to Plants Vs Zombies. Due to its simple mechanics, engaging and strategic gameplay, Plants Vs Zombies bagged the "Strategy Game of the Year" award at the Golden Joystick Awards. Now, Grow a Garden, though a bit different, might be headed on the path to bag a series of awards. Another possible reason for Grow a Garden's success might be that the game also features regular events, like 'Working Bees,' 'Summer Update,' and other seasonal challenges where players can earn limited-time items and rare mutations by participating in dynamic activities. These events might be helping to maintain engagement in the community. Furthermore, Grow a Garden stands out for its creator economy model, built by a 16-year-old developer and later partially acquired by Splitting Point Studios. According to Business Insider, the 16-year-old who created the game in just days has remained anonymous. According to an interview in a gaming newsletter with Roblox developer and the founder of Splitting Point Studios, Janzen "Jandel" Madsen, Grow a Garden was initially created by the teen who built it in a few days. Then Madsen acquired part of the game to build it out with a team of developers. Under Madsen's guidance, the Splitting Point Studios organised live updates, community events, and live-ops strategies that helped Grow a Garden skyrocket to over 21 million concurrent users, surpassing records previously held by Fortnite. Madsen has also created or co-led development on several other top Roblox titles, including popular experiences like Wacky Wizards, Field Trip Z, Bed Wars, and Jandel's Road Trip. Idle simulator games are making a mark Grow a Garden is one of many games that have recently acquired a large user base. Other games, such as Idle Miner Tycoon, Idle Lumber: Business Empire, Idle Farming Empire, Prison Empire Tycoon, and other games have been downloaded by millions of users. As per Google Play Store, Idle Miner Tycoon alone has been downloaded more than 100 million times. Such games do not engage in combat, shooting, or action but yet they are able to engage gamers. They feature very simple mechanics, behind-the-scenes functionality so that you do not have to keep the game open for hours to be able to collect in-game rewards, calming music, and more. When all these come together, then, as per the data, it seems like the recipe of a hit game is created. One of the best things to have emerged from the current times and trends is the removal of barriers in the world of game creation. With Roblox in place, anyone can sign up and create a game that others can play simply by choosing it from Roblox's catalogue. Leading games like Fortnite and PUBG are also trying to capitalise on the user-generated content. What is Roblox Roblox is an online platform that lets users create, share, and play games developed by other users. Unlike traditional video games, Roblox is not a single game but a vast ecosystem where millions of user-generated experiences exist across genres like racing, adventure, role-playing, and simulation. These games are built using Roblox Studio, a free development tool that allows creators to design environments, code mechanics, and monetise their content. Roblox also functions as a social hub, allowing players to interact through chat, join friends in games, and customise avatars with clothing and accessories purchased using Robux, the platform's virtual currency. Its accessibility on PC, mobile, Xbox, and even VR devices, along with a large and active community, makes Roblox more popular among younger audiences.

Soccer-Tottenham's Son bids emotional farewell in S.Korea, Maddison suffers knee injury
SEOUL (Reuters) -Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min played what is expected to be his final match for the club in front of 64,773 fans at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday, and teammate James Maddison was carried off with a knee injury. HT Image The 33-year-old Son, who is under contract until 2026, is set to leave Spurs after a decade. He led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years with their win over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May. Sunday's friendly against Newcastle United ended 1-1, with Spurs forward Brennan Johnson scoring in the fourth minute and Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes equalising in the 38th. Son was substituted off in the 65th minute for new signing Mohammed Kudus. Son received a guard of honour from both Spurs and Newcastle players, along with a warm ovation from the crowd, as he bade a teary farewell. He is expected to stay in South Korea while the rest of the Spurs players fly to London. "At first, I really didn't think I was going to cry. But obviously, it is not easy leaving a team I've spent so much time with," Son said. "And hearing from all these players made me really emotional. I've had an unforgettable day thanks to all the fans, my teammates and my opponents. I feel so happy that I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight. "My career is not over yet, and I want to continue to bring (the fans) joy. I know I have more things I want to accomplish as a football player." Son joined the north London club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and though he did not disclose his next destination, British media have linked him with a move to Major League Soccer club Los Angeles FC. "Unbelievable scenes for Son from his teammates and the respect from the Newcastle players," Spurs manager Thomas Frank said. "First we had the walkaround and then the teammates gathered around and he was emotional. In the changing room it was more of the same... It was beautiful." Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said, "The reaction was instinctive from my players. It's not just his talent but the way he has carried himself over the years. I think he's seen as one of the game's great Premier League players." Maddison came on in the 75th minute but went down off the ball, clutching his knee, and appeared to be in considerable discomfort. The 28-year-old England international was taken off on a stretcher around the 86th minute. "We're pretty sure it was the same knee he injured before. I think sometimes in life and football things can be both beautiful and brutal," Frank said. Maddison suffered an injury to the same knee in May and missed the final part of last season. The club later announced the loan signing of midfielder Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich. The 30-year-old, who previously played in the Premier League for Fulham, joins until the end of next season with an option to make the move permanent.
