Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been updated, and the game is now at version 8.0.0. All players can access the patch as of now.

Undoubtedly the main highlight of today’s update is the addition of Min Min as the latest DLC fighter and first character from Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Spring Stadium has also been made available as the newest stage. Another batch of paid Mii Fighter costumes are here, too, including Vault Boy.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are now hosting a new Max Raid Battle event. A number of Steel-type and Rock-type Pokemon are being featured, including Rhydon, Steelix, and Gigantamax Copperajah.

Unfortunately, players may want to avoid participating for the time being due to a significant issue. The raid data contains rewards for item 1604, which is thought to be the Armorite-ore variant for The Crown Tundra DLC. However, this hasn’t actually been released yet, and can crash your game.
