Rockstar Games is making changes to Red Dead Online’s contentious economy starting Thursday, adjusting prices of in-game items and increasing payouts of cash and gold. The better news for players who have tried out Red Dead Redemption 2’s online beta is that Rockstar is giving them a nice little infusion of cash for free. The best news is that if you bought something in Red Dead Online already, and Rockstar has dropped the price of that item, you’ll get some in-game currency refunded to you. Roc

On Monday, Bethesda instructed customers to visit its support site to file a claim if they’d purchased the Power Armor edition of Fallout 76.

Capy Games’ “roguelike-like” dungeon crawler Below will be released next week, on Dec. 14, more than five years after the game was announced. Below will be available for Windows PC via Steam and Xbox One. Capy originally unveiled Below more than five years ago, during the Microsoft’s E3 2013 press briefing. At the time, Capy said the game was in development exclusively on Xbox One. The game was delayed multiple times, and Capy said in 2016 it was delaying the game indefinitely.

The Madden NFL 19 Classic, which had been postponed from its original October dates in light of the shooting at a qualifying tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, will take place tomorrow and the next two days, EA Sports announced today. The Madden Classic Finals are scheduled for for 8 p.m. The Madden NFL 19 Classic is being held in Las Vegas and will be streamed on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook and Mixer. “We will have measures to ensure all players and personnel are as safe as possible at the Madd

Epic confirmed that the new creative mode will be coming soon, launching alongside season seven of the game. We’ve reached out to Epic Games for confirmation, but have yet to hear back at the time of publication. The mode will reportedly give players the ability to visit islands featured by Epic Games and the islands of their friends, or let players build their own. Play begins when you select “start mini-game,” and any destruction that takes place during each round won’t carry over into creativ

Mike Laidlaw, the longtime BioWare creative director who left the studio about a year ago, has joined Ubisoft’s Quebec City studio in the same role. Laidlaw announced the new gig this morning on LinkedIn, and said he will be working on “a not-yet-announced project” for Ubisoft. This follows a year in which Laidlaw had been working as a consultant for other developers. Laidlaw indicated that he joined Ubisoft Quebec after consulting there. BioWare has since moved on to complete Anthem, the multip

The December drop of NES games for Nintendo Switch Online members is due next week, and it’s a trio of classics. Nintendo announced that it will add Ninja Gaiden, Wario’s Woods and Adventures of Lolo to the Nintendo Entertainment System application on Dec. 12. An update headed by Ninja Gaiden is certainly impressive. Wario’s Woods is geared toward puzzle fans; think Dr. Mario, except with Wario and little monsters instead of Mario M.D. Nintendo Switch Online costs $19.99 annually and grants acce

We’ve watched Soulja Boy crank that, Superman that, and roll over the years. Soulja Boy has launched what he calls the SouljaGame line, including both a console and an emulator. These are actually unbranded, poorly made emulators that Soulja Boy is reselling as his own. We’ve contacted Soulja Boy’s press team for further information about the SouljaGame products, and we’ll update once Soulja Boy tells ’em, and then tells us in return. But there’s no denying that the SouljaGame console and handhe

Ubisoft has revealed a new Far Cry project, with a brief video released on Wednesday afternoon. note: The following contains spoilers for the ending of Far Cry 5.] It all looks pretty similar to the Hope County, Montana, setting that players explored in Far Cry 5. This is, more or less, confirmed when we see a sudden nuclear explosion, presumably the same one we see in one of Far Cry 5’s endings. While none of this is particularly concrete, it certainly appears that this new Far Cry game is goin

However, the changes to the game go deeper than just the announced patch notes. A “stealth” change is one that is not reported or recorded in the official patch notes. Because the nerfs the Fallout 76 community is experiencing haven’t been officially announced in public facing patch notes, players are banding together to test and confirm each other’s suspicions. However, the feedback has largely been negative, with the game being criticized as both a Fallout title and an online multiplayer sandb

Instead, Destiny 2: Black Armory feels like a promise that more is to come after just a small taste of new content. Black Armory doesn’t feel like an expansion, it feels like a subscription to an MMO. When I first started Black Armory, I was sent down to talk to the Spider from Forsaken, who then sent me to the Tower to meet Ada-1 — the new vendor from Black Armory. After that, we have a full schedule of new Black Armory stuff coming over the next few weeks. Black Armory and the Annual Pass aims

Fortnite Battle Royale has always been a little bit different from other games that let players build things in-game. Now, Epic is bringing that to game with Fortnite’s new Creative mode. We’ve scoured their videos — which you should check out — to give you a basic idea of just how much you can do in Creative mode. The creative hubWhen you first load into the Creative mode, it takes you to a place called the creative hub. Once you’ve built whatever it is you want, you can then create an entire c

If your Dead Eye Ring depletes, continuing to use Dead Eye without replenishing the Ring will drain the Core. Your Health and Stamina will regenerate faster when your Core is full, and aiming in Dead Eye is more precise when the Dead Eye Core is full. Each Core will drain on its own over time, while you drain your Dead Eye Core and Ring by actively using the skill. Going into a mission with gold Cores means you can take a bit more damage and use more Dead Eye for longer. Eating stew in camp give

How to get the Legendary Fish Special LuresOnce you have the map of Legendary Fish locations, you’ll need to buy some special bait to catch them.

Trainer battles, as teased late last week, bring the game closer than ever to a multiplayer experience, although there are marked changes from the traditional Pokémon battles many players are familiar with. Trainer battles allow for one-on-one matches against either another player or a computer-controlled opponent, with each side bringing a team of three Pokémon (called their battle party) into the arena with them. Trainer battles otherwise work the same way as gym and Raid battles, with players

The PlayStation Classic has been released, and it looks like the fan community may have found a solution to some of its shortcomings. You can see the hidden menus in the video above, although people are reporting that not every keyboard will allow you to access these options. We weren’t able to access the hidden menus using Apple, Logitech or Razer keyboards. The existence of these options makes sense; the PlayStation Classic runs the open-source PCSX ReARMed emulator, which offers a solid amoun

Epic Games announced that it will soon launch its own digital storefront, with the first wave rolling out on Mac and Windows before broadening to Android and other platforms later in 2019. Buyers will be able to access it either online or through the Epic Games launcher to purchase games, but everything else will be handled through the proprietary application. Fortnite players are already users of the launcher, as Epic Games makes its games exclusively available through it. Epic also said it wil

Particularly, the formerly scheming villain Catra is given more depth — especially when it comes to her relationship with the show’s hero, Adora. Polygon: The original series has Catra and Adora as a totally pure antagonists, and they don’t really have a connection. As much as these two people really, really care about each other, there are also things that … some of them are not their own choice. Just as much as Catra cares about Adora, Adora makes her feel bad about herself. I think that’s s

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, the new post-apocalyptic adventure game, launches today on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. In motion it’s a clever hybrid of modern, XCOM-like tactical gameplay and real-time stealth. Mutant Year Zero shows real genius in its real-time stealth elements, which give players extraordinary freedom to maneuver and plan their attacks. So long as you don’t mind save-scumming, there’s an excellent storyline here tied to a fun real-time stealth game. Mutant Year Ze
