Points let you reroll your character's appearance and pour into the upgrades that keep you standing in the harder fights. Farming them through combat alone is slower than most players have patience for. Here's a complete list of active Ghoul RE codes and steps to redeem them. - [Ro-Ghoul Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/ro-ghoul-codes/): However, the currencies here move slowly. Yen buys your upgrades, RC cells unlock your stages, and both take real time to accumulate through normal play. Codes cut that short, handing out millions of Yen and RC in a single redemption, along with Color Credits, hearts, and the occasional exclusive mask. Here's a complete list of active Ro-Ghoul codes and steps to redeem them. - [Dutch Group Seeks €100M From Epic Games Over Fortnite Purchases](https://www.timesofgames.com/news/epic-games-fortnite-dutch-claim-100-million/): A Dutch consumer foundation served Epic Games with a formal notice of liability on September 23 against Epic Games over Fortnite, seeking more than €100 million in refunds and compensation for people who played the game in the Netherlands before turning 21. Stichting Massaschade & Consument (SMC) alleges that young players were misled and placed under pressure to spend money on in-game items. The claim focuses on practices including purchase prompts and countdown timers that allegedly made some offers appear more time-sensitive than they were. Epic has disputed the characterization of its current Fortnite Item Shop and pointed to parental controls and other purchase protections. The case follows earlier regulatory action against Epic in the Netherlands, where authorities found that some Fortnite purchasing practices breached consumer-protection rules. - [Clover Retribution Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/clover-retribution/): Clover Retribution is a Black Clover-inspired Roblox RPG where the character you end up with is largely down to luck.

You can switch between your units mid-battle, which makes assembling a team that covers each other's weaknesses more important than pulling any single strong character. - [Da Hood Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/da-hood/): Da Hood is one of Roblox's longest-running open-world experiences, a street game where you can fight, rob, run a business, or just walk around and see what happens. Combat is the draw for most players, with a stat system covering strength, stamina, and durability that you grind up over time. - [Anime Card Clash Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/anime-card-clash/): Anime Card Clash is a Roblox card collector from RNG Lab where you roll for cards based on characters from popular anime, merge your duplicates to strengthen them, and take the deck you end up with into boss fights and player battles. Every pull is random, so the deck you build is really a function of how many rolls you can get through. - [CS2 Pet Chickens Hatch From Weekly Drop Eggs, But They Cost Both Slots](https://www.timesofgames.com/news/cs2-chicken-egg-pet-system-rush-hour/): Counter-Strike 2 or CS2 players have discovered an undocumented chicken pet system following Valve’s September 22 update, with some Weekly Care Packages now offering a Chicken Egg alongside the game’s other rewards. The discovery came shortly after the Rush Hour update went live, although Valve’s official patch notes do not mention the eggs or a pet system. Players quickly began sharing screenshots of the new item on X and Reddit, with some showing the egg appearing beside their character in the main menu. Ozzny’s post on X highlighted the discovery, while a separate preview shared by Gabe Follower showed an early look at the chicken pet system.

You buy balls; the balls bounce on their own, and the bricks break whether or not you are watching. This lets money accumulate, so you can buy better balls, and the loop speeds up. - [Best Roblox Song IDs and Music Codes](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/roblox-song-ids-music/): Roblox song IDs are the numbers that let you play a specific track through an in-game boombox or radio. Each of these codes points to an audio file uploaded to the platform, and pasting the number in is all it takes to have the whole server hear it. - [Tennis Zero Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/tennis-zero/): Tennis Zero is an anime-themed tennis experience on Roblox where rallies activate the Style you’re playing with and build the Flow as the fight for a point continues. You don’t get to pick this right from the get-go, making it similar to the mechanics in Blue Lock Rivals and unlike conventional sports titles like NFL Universe Football.  - [SpongeBob Tower Defense Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/spongebob-tower-defense/): SpongeBob Tower Defense drops Bikini Bottom into a Roblox tower defense grind, and it's rather less gentle than the art style suggests. You recruit Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and the rest of the cast, place them along the path, and hold back waves that begin with a handful of jellyfish and end with the whole town coming for you. - [Project Egoist Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/project-egoist/): However, that Style isn't something you choose, and rerolling for a better one costs spins, which the game doesn't give you a lot of to begin with. Codes, on the other hand, are the fastest way to top those up, alongside Yen and the other currency the developers hand out around updates. You will need to be in the game's Roblox community before any of them work, so sort that first. Here's a complete list of active Project Egoist codes and steps to redeem them. - [Project Blue Lock 2 Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/project-blue-lock-2/): However, most of these players come out of spins, and the game doesn’t just hand you those right away. Codes are how you get hands on these spins without having to wait on match rewards, and the developers keep dropping them around updates and milestones. Joining the official community group is required, so you’ll need to do that before you start. Nevertheless, here’s our complete list of active Project Blue Lock 2 codes and the exact steps to redeem them. - [Flashpoint: Worlds Collide Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/flashpoint-worlds-collide/): Flashpoint: Worlds Collide is a DC-inspired Roblox game where you play as a speedster similar to the Flash.

Riot Games is introducing a new rifle, a new experimental game mode, a revamped progression system and multiple competitive changes. The update lands September 22, two days before Champions begins in Shanghai. Riot is deliberately keeping the Warden out of the tournament, avoiding a brand-new rifle entering pro play days before its biggest event. It will also bring quality-of-life changes such as Practice Range access while matchmaking. The Patch will introduce the Warden, a new automatic rifle designed for players who want better long-range options without moving all the way into sniper territory. Alongside it, Gauntlet: Glitched adds a 16-player experimental mode, while Agent mastery will replace the current Agent Gear system. - [AI, Blockchain, Gaming and Trading Leaders Gather in Abu Dhabi](https://www.timesofgames.com/gaming-insight/abu-dhabi-tech-events-ai-web3-gaming-trading/): Abu Dhabi is turning into a hub for some of the fastest-moving sectors in technology and finance.

Once you have a Heavenly unit, you need Heavenly Fruits and Cursed Orbs to push it through five Ascension stages, with each stage raising its talent cap, adding a passive slot, and letting it equip Relics. Farming both takes a while, which is where codes come in. Along with Fruits and Orbs, they hand out Requiem Tokens to reroll your fighters' passives and Mega Boosts to speed up the grind. Here's a complete list of active Anime Fighters codes and steps to redeem them. - [All Star Tower Defense Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/all-star-tower-defense/): All Star Tower Defense is an anime tower defense Roblox title from Top Down Games where you collect units based on characters you already recognize and set them against waves of enemies trying to reach your base. You work through the story mode, upgrade your units mid-battle, and eventually push into the infinite mode where the waves stop ending. - [Arise Crossover Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/arise-crossover-codes/): However, the reward worth paying attention to here is Tickets. Unlike most Roblox games where gamepasses sit behind Robux, Arise Crossover lets you buy them with Tickets earned in-game, which makes a full run through the code list worth more than it first appears. Tickets do drop from dungeons and AFK rewards. However, this is slow going if you are saving for a specific gamepass. Here's a complete list of active Arise Crossover codes and steps to redeem them. - [Anime Crusader Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/anime-crusader/): The easiest way to check for new and active Anime Crusader codes is to keep an eye on this page, since we ensure it stays updated. However, you can also consider joining the official Discord channel for the Roblox game. - [Goalbound Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/goalbound-codes/): However, rerolling either one costs spins, and once your first few free rolls are gone, those spins have to be bought with Cash earned by winning matches. This can take a while, especially if you are stuck on a losing run. Redeeming codes is the quicker route, handing you Lucky Spins which guarantee a Rare or better roll instead of leaving it down to chance. Here's a list of all the active Goalbound codes and the steps to redeem them. - [Kaizen Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/kaizen-codes/): Kaizen codes pay out two kinds of spins, and they do different jobs. Clan Spins roll you a new clan, which sets your long-term ceiling. Binding Vow Spins are the scarce ones, because a spin only ever gives you a Tier 1 vow. You fuse five of the same vow to reach Tier 2, then five of those for Tier 3, so a maxed vow needs 25 copies. Vows stay in your inventory permanently and you can equip three at once. The timed boosts are worth saving for a farming or raid session, since the clock starts the moment you redeem. - [NFL Universe Football Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/nfl-universe-football/): Previously known as Ultimate Football, NFL Universe Football is the go-to game for all Roblox players who enjoy American football.

The change is being introduced gradually, with Ubisoft saying the service will roll out to more games on Steam over time. - [Blade Ball Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/blade-ball-codes/): However, skills aren’t the only factor that increases your chances to win in the late game. As the ball picks up pace, relying solely on reflexes becomes difficult, and that’s when power-ups come in handy. To buy these power-ups or abilities, you need spins, and redeeming codes is a great way to obtain them. Below, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all active Blade Ball codes with step-by-step instructions to redeem them. - [Blox Fruits Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/blox-fruits-codes/): We’ve compiled a list of active Blox Fruits codes below that you can redeem, along with steps to redeem them.

The game does feature free rewards, and the Untitled Boxing Game codes pay out Lucky Spins. These spins are a form of currency that help you get a Fighting Style worth using. Every spin rolls a random style at a random rarity, from Common up to Legendary, and the style you land on changes how you fight far more than your stats do. - [PHYSINT Moves to Xbox as Kojima and Sony Tell Different Stories](https://www.timesofgames.com/news/physint-xbox-playstation-cancelled/): Hideo Kojima’s next action-espionage game, PHYSINT, is moving to Xbox after PlayStation Studios cancelled the project in mid-June, according to Kojima. The game which was once associated closely with PlayStation, is now moving forward with Xbox as its new partner. It is a big change for a project that has been in the spotlight, especially with Kojima’s history as the mind behind Metal Gear and Death Stranding. - [Jule’s RNG Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/jules-rng-codes/): Jule's RNG codes pay out Gems and luck potions, which are the two things standing between you and a rare aura.

Rockstar’s official game page lists the November 19 release date and the two console platforms, leaving 14 days between the two launches. - [Type Soul Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/type-soul-codes/): The free Type Soul codes hand out rerolls, which are the entire progression system in this Bleach-inspired Roblox experience. You pick a path as a Soul Reaper, a Hollow, or a Quincy, and almost everything after that is decided by an annoying RNG mechanic. Your clan, your element, your weapon, and your Shikai all come out of a roll. These codes are the only way to get more rolls for free. - [Latest Re: Rangers X Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/re-rangers-x-codes/): Re: Rangers X codes pay out Trait Rerolls, and traits are what separate a usable unit from a wasted one. Unlike regular tower defense games like Anime Vanguards, Re: Rangers X does not play out like the rest of the genre. Here, you do not place your units on a grid or along a path. Instead, they spawn at your base and run headlong at the enemy line, so your roster quality carries the round rather than your positioning. - [Epic Games Store Adds Age Checks for R18+ Games in Australia](https://www.timesofgames.com/news/epic-games-age-verification-australia/): Epic Games will require Australian players to verify their age before buying or downloading R18+ games.

They work with third-party providers to provide multiple age-checking options while confining the information shared. - [Jujutsu Zero Codes (September 2026)](https://www.timesofgames.com/codes/jujutsu-zero-codes/): The free Roblox Jujutsu Zero codes pay out Clan Rolls, Lumens, and Cursed Crystals, which between them cover the two things that actually gate you. Clan Rolls decide whether your sorcerer has a kit worth playing. Lumens are what you spend upgrading it once you do. - [Prototypes Feel Like the Ultimate Paradox in The Division 2](https://www.timesofgames.com/news/prototypes-paradox-division-2/): The Division 2 prototype gear is probably the best thing that happened to the game in a really long time.
