Evening Reading - March 17, 2026
It's nighttime in America, which means time for another edition of Evening Reading.
by TJ Denzer · ShacknewsWelcome, Shackers, to St. Patty’s Day and the end of another Tuesday. We hope you are well and that you’ve enjoyed the content we shared today. We had a pretty funny Indie-licious today, and though I wasn’t victorious, it was still a good time. Meanwhile, we have plenty of fun content coming this week with Pokemon Pokopia out, Marathon finding its footing, and plenty more to play and report on. For today, though, it’s time to bring the curtain down on this day of posting. Here’s the latest Evening Reading to do just that.
In case you missed it at Shacknews…
- How Overwatch learned to stop fearing its players
- Marathon Update 1.0.5 patch notes add Cryo Archive
- Starfield comes to PS5 on April 7
- Starfield Terran Armada DLC and Free Lanes Update announced
- Tekken 8 Update 3.00.00 kicks off Season 3 & the initial response is mixed
- Samsung to discontinue $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold smartphone three months after release
- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says the idea that AI can make GTA is a 'laughable notion'
- Hearthstone: Cataclysm - 10 decks to try on Day 1
- Pragmata's New York-style stage returns to the site of the original trailer
And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!
Happy St. Patty’s Day

I saw this video about two weeks ago and it hasn’t left my mind since. And what a perfect thing to have in hand for St. Patrick’s Day, right? Leprechaun, yeah.
Kirby Air Riders is still Kirby Air Riders

Thankfully, most normal people have been clowning on such an absurd thing. By the way, you should play Skate Story.
Easily the realest outcome of DLSS 5, by far.
Yeah, let’s go back to the good old days. Maybe let’s make another Mad Dog McCree while we’re in there.
FGC in shambles
We had quite some content in Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 today.
So anyways, the arcade mode story for Alex has some details in it that might make people second-guess maining him. Learn more at your own risk.
Bison relishing the calamity on this fine Tuesday, just another of many for him.
