PUBG Update 13.2 and Patch Notes Today (September 7)
Thanks to the heads up from Microsoft, there’s technically just enough time for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to download and beat the titles that are on the metaphorical chopping block. For those looking to get the most out of their investment, the publisher’s announcement that there’s actually two departure dates currently on the horizon has also provided a handy place for players to start their time trial-esque quest. While the majority of titles are set to leave on January 15, it’s worth keeping in mind that one game is departing a few days earlier than that on January
While Halo 4 and Halo 5 have brought more modern (cough Call of Duty -esque) sensibilities to the franchise, the original Halo trilogy offered a unique FPS experience. Thankfully, as a result of 343’s 2018 update campaign , players can finally experience those games’ online matchmaking without janky connectivity issues. As it stands, The Master Chief Collection is not just playable, it’s ridiculously fun.
While it may be too early to say what 2021’s most important indie game is, Valheim is certainly proving itself capable of potentially taking the title. Even though it still hasn’t officially released, Valheim has been praised for its survival system and polished world. This is especially important given that a game developed by 5 people is managing so much positive press prior to an official release, while AAA studios still sometimes struggle with game systems even after launch. As it continues its development, Valheim certainly __ has the potential to bet yet another indie title that comes to define a genre, something indie games are increasingly able to
Dead Cells showed me how innovative a roguelike could be. Everything about this game feels so utterly satisfying. The game’s upgrades make it considerably easy for fans new to the genre to hit the ground running and make good progress. I would recommend this game to just about any gamer looking for a challenge.
Several successful indie games were released prior to 2008, including Cave Story and Alien Hominid , but 2008 was the year that kicked them into the mainstream. Games like Braid and Castle Crashers , spurred on by Xbox’s first Summer of Arcade promotion, began to normalize the idea of purchasing small, downloadable games over larger ones sold on d
Similar to most Nintendo fans, putting Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on my end-of-the-year list was a no-brainer. The game’s new characters are fantastic, its quality-of-life updates are palatable, and most importantly, I don’t have a reason to keep my Wii U plugged in anymore. What more can I say, it’s Smash; it’s the tried-and-true formula made better than ever.
The only downside to the deployment of patch 13.2 is the lengthy amount of downtime that will come with it. According to the official Twitter account for PUBG , the servers will be down for a total of 8 hours to
One key way to get around this problem is to prioritize a vehicle . A flying vehicle ? Yeah, that’ll probably do the job. Whether you’re in a squad or solo, a vehicle is the easiest way to clear the ring and get a better position on the other s
Before you launch out of the plane for the first time, you probably want to adjust your settings , whether you’re playing on a PC, console, or mobile. The best settings can give every player a competitive edge, and if you change settings like FOV and sensitivity early on, you’ll get used to them quickly. It’s quite common for new players to ignore the settings, usually to their disadvant
Thus, anything other than Fullscreen Exclusive can and will cause stutter . This could be either Borderless or Window mode. Moreover, those two sub-optimal options can introduce some form of input lag, which is detrimental to gamepl
Such is the case for bushes or shrubs and even some grass or trees. One can set it to Ultra for aesthetics, but then they’ll be at a disadvantage compared to other players who set Foliage to Very Low, as they’ll have fluffier and healthier vegetation that hides enem
Mimimi Games’ well received Desperados 3 is one of the titles that will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on January 15. Published by THQ Nordic back during the summer of 2020, the latest entry in the long-running series revolves around the early Wild West-themed exploits of main protagonist John Cooper . On average, beating the game’s real-time strategy centric campaign, and mastering its challenging stealth mechanics in the process, takes roughly 26 hours for most players. Sampling all of the sights that the 1870s-set adventure can take up to 65 hours though, which is worth keeping in mind considering the meaty games leaving the subscription service this mo
