Street Fighter V has been plagued by server issues since launch but most of these have been resolved according to an update from Capcom.
Problems included long wait times in matchmaking and being unable to participate in Battle Lounge after being in the same lounge for a set amount of time. These problems should now be fixed.

Some users reported that their match results were not being sent to the server but Capcom have assured us that is mostly a UI bug. Check your battle results if you are unsure. Also, Some of the more recent replay data won’t be available immediately when searching the replay database but this is being worked on. All of your personal replays are immediately available via your fighter profile.


Some of the other issues being addressed are: some user names not showing up in Rival Search, some user names not displaying properly on battle results screen and ranking functionality not working properly on the Capcom Fighter's Network.


If you experience any issues you can tweet @SFVServer.

Content will be added throughout the year - you can expect new fighters, costumes and a cinematic story expansion. The first update, along with the opening of the in-game store, is planned for March.
Turns out Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands will be releasing on disc - it will available for PS4 and Xbox One from 22 April this year and is exclusive to GAME.

It's lighter than a lot of Telltale's previous work thanks to the classic Borderlands humour but that doesn't mean it's any less intriguing. Check out the trailer above.
