+Hey there, yuzu fans!
+We are very excited to announce that yuzu now has beta support for online services!
+<!--more-->
+
+## Wait, what?!
+
+Yes, you read that right.
+yuzu now has beta support for online services by leveraging [Raptor Network](https://raptor.network/).
+Raptor Network is a replacement for Nintendo Online Services, which yuzu has partnered with to deliver this service to you!
+Thanks to the efforts of developers [DarkLordZach](https://github.com/DarkLordZach) and [ReinUsesLisp](https://github.com/ReinUsesLisp), 
+we are now able to launch this publicly for our users to test and enjoy.
+
+Right now, Raptor Network only supports two games: **Super Mario Maker 2** and **Super Mario Odyssey**. 
+In **Super Mario Maker 2**, you can upload and share custom levels with others, while in **Super Mario Odyssey**, you can 
+play hide-and-go-seek in Luigi's Balloon World or share high scores in minigames on the leaderboards.
+Reverse engineering new games is an arduous task, but the service is in continuous development, so keep your eyes peeled for future updates.
+
+Raptor Network also allows you to set a nickname and profile image, which is used to identify you in games. 
+In addition to this, it allows you to friend other people across the internet! 
+You can then interact with your friends in supported games, such as viewing courses made by them in **Super Mario Maker 2**.
+
+Special thanks to developers [fincs](https://github.com/fincs/) and [yellows8](https://github.com/yellows8/), widely known for their contributions to Switch reverse engineering. 
+Without their help, it would've probably taken us significantly longer to implement the client side functionality required for Raptor.

+
+## How can I try it?
+
+To use the online service, you need an `active` yuzu Early Access subscription to connect to Raptor Network.
+Simply download the latest Early Access build and follow the instructions below to obtain access to Raptor Network on your yuzu acccount.
+
+>**Note:<br>
+If you are new to yuzu Early Access, then please visit our [yuzu Early Access guide](https://yuzu-emu.org/help/early-access/) to setup your yuzu account.**
+
+#### Step 1
+Once you've linked your patreon account to your yuzu profile and activated your Early Access subscription, navigate to https://profile.yuzu-emu.org and scroll down.
+At the bottom, you will find `Raptor` under a section titled `Your other services`.
+{{< imgs
+    "./rapt_act.png| Raptor service"
+>}}
+
+#### Step 2
+Click on `Activate Now` and you'll see a prompt asking you to `Agree` to Raptor Network's legal agreements.
+Users are **required** to agree to their terms to gain access to Raptor Network. 
+We strongly advise users to read the legal agreements before proceeding.
+{{< imgs
+    "./rapt_act_2.png| Raptor Legal Agreements"
+>}}
+
+#### Step 3
+If you clicked `Agree`, then you'll see that your access to Raptor Network has been activated.
+{{< imgs
+    "./rapt_act_3.png| Activated!"
+>}}
+
+#### Step 4
+Scroll to the top of page and copy your login token.
+{{< imgs
+    "./5.png| Copy your token"
+>}}
+
+#### Step 5
+Now, open yuzu and navigate to `Emulation -> Configure... -> Online`. 
+Paste your `token` in the textbox and click `verify` to verify your client.
+{{< imgs
+    "./rapt_act_5.png| Paste your token"
+    "./rapt_act_6.png| Yay! Verified!"
+>}}
+
+#### Step 6
+Once your yuzu token is verified, you will be able to connect to Raptor Network without any additional configuration.
+You can also check your connection status to Raptor Network at the bottom right corner of yuzu.

+
+## Fin
+
+Please keep in mind that Raptor Network is a separate service and we are partnering with them to bring this to our users.
+You can keep an eye out for the status of Raptor servers [here](https://status.raptor.network/) and for news and updates check [here](https://news.raptor.network/).
+
+As always, we thank all of our patrons for their continued love and support!
+We hope to bring you more exciting stuff like this in the near future.
+
+Until next time, keep playing!<br>
