Final Fantasy 14 eases its inactivity policy due to Hurricane Helene

Final Fantasy XIV players are getting a temporary reprieve from a game inactivity policy that would get rid of player homes if they didn't log in enough due to Hurricane Helene, which hit the U.S. last week. Starting October 2, the popular MMO is suspending the requirement that players log on every 45 days, otherwise their estates get demolished.

This pertains to all players who connect to the Aether, Crystal, Dynamis, and Primal data centers -- which are all North American servers. If your house was already primed for demolition before the change, you can cancel it just by entering your home or doing work on your land.

3 PS Plus games to check out this weekend (September 27-29)

The cast of Far Cry 5 sits at a table.

We're at a point between major PS Plus content drops. We still have a few more days to wait until October's PS Plus Essential additions arrive and a couple of weeks until the PS Plus Premium and Extra Game Catalog is once again bolstered. Thankfully, September's PS Plus Premium and Extra additions were particularly great, so there are still a lot of fantastic games for you to try out. This weekend, I'm spotlighting three games you can play this weekend if you're a PS Plus subscriber and unsure what to try out next.
Far Cry 5

Even six years after its release, Far Cry 5 is still one of Ubisoft's most provocative games. In it, players take on a doomsday cult in a remote part of Montana, exposing the dark underbelly of rural, radicalized America. It also still looks great when played on PS5 in 2024; its opening in particular has some immaculate lighting and facial animation for a game this old. It is otherwise a fairly formulaic and straightforward first-person Ubisoft open-world game, but if you don't mind that Far Cry 5 is a thought-provoking game worth checking out for those who've never played it before. The PS4 version of Far Cry 5 is part of the PS Plus Extra game catalog. It's also on PC and Xbox One.
