The internet has a fresh favorite gaming elder. *Crimson Desert* must improve its mounts. And Sony bids farewell to an EV concept vehicle with Honda that could stream PlayStation titles. Welcome to Morning Checkpoint for March 25, 2026. I am now engrossed in an exceptionally valuable yet somber 4,000-word essay on how every aspect of contemporary existence increasingly resembles gambling. Sounds concerning!
## You’re Never Too Mature to Dive into Video Game Streaming
China’s Yang Binglin was recently named the oldest video game streamer globally for his playthrough of *Resident Evil Requiem*. The 91-year-old grandfather played it from the comfort of a small chair and a large TV, streaming the entire adventure and completing it without any guides. I hope he moves on to playing *Marathon* next.

## Sony is Abandoning PlayStation Vehicles
The Afeela electric car was the outcome of a collaboration between Sony and Honda to release a PlayStation-themed vehicle. It was unveiled in 2023 and expected to launch in 2025 but remained absent. It was designed to be operable with a DualSense and permit remote play from the dashboard, but now it’s cancelled. The two firms have reportedly agreed to “cease the development and launch of its initial model, AFEELA1, and its subsequent model,” according to Nikkei.
## *Crimson Desert* Players Disapprove of the Game’s Mount Handling
They desire permanent mounts, yet the open-world adventure currently doesn’t allow for auto-summoning. Some players have initiated an unofficial campaign to urge Pearl Abyss to modify that. Given hints of possible DLC and multiplayer if players request it, no future adjustments seem off the table for the popular title.
## A New FIFA Game Allows You to Play as Thor and Diego Maradona
Soccer’s international governing body is enjoying handing out the license to anyone who asks. *FIFA Heroes* is the first game to debut ahead of the World Cup this summer with a mobile launch on April 26. Developed by Enver, whoever that is, it will use magnetic tackles and other gameplay shortcuts to simplify the beautiful game into an easy touch control format.
## The *Resident Evil 4* Merchant is Swamped in Debt

Similar to the national deficit, it continues to swell as players offload their unwanted items to him. The official tracker has updated the tally on the remake’s third anniversary, and it’s not a pretty sight. Total losses incurred to date are 3,337,279,919,290 Pesetas.
## Nintendo Acknowledges Its GameCube Pokémon Game Faces Crashes
*Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness* was recently incorporated into the Switch Online library on Switch 2 but is experiencing difficulties. The company has stated it knows that fans are repeatedly encountering errors causing the game to abruptly close while playing and is looking into the issue.
## The Faces of *Roblox* Are Evolving
The platform’s “classic” faces began to fade away earlier this week and are now being replaced with “dynamic” faces as the social platform aims to progress. Players are not pleased. “Three public apologies and a 51,000-like devforum post pleading them not to do this, yet they proceeded regardless,” one wrote.
