Twitch Prime’s latest loot freebie delivers movie star, lacrosse standout and Syracuse University alumnus Jim Brown to your Madden NFL 20 Ultimate Team roster. This is noteworthy because only three years ago did he and Electronic Arts settle a lawsuit over the unauthorized use of his likeness in Madden NFL 09. If you’re not familiar with Jim Brown, he was basically Bo Jackson for your dad’s (or granddad’s) generation. In Madden NFL 20, players will get him with the “freight train” x-factor trait

Rainbow Six Siege is about to embark on the third season of its fourth year since launch, and according to concept art fans have found recently, the two new operators players will meet look like a couple of treasure hunters straight from an Indiana Jones flick. Concept art for the new characters slipped out over the weekend and ended up on the game’s subreddit. In the leaked concept art, the new fighter seems to be paired with this hombre, who resembles either Recondo from G.I. Anyway, Rainbow S

The X Games are normally the home of extreme sports like motocross and skateboarding, but this weekend Apex Legends is joining the competition.

And Blevins’ channel in particular has also started to falter — he’s no longer the top streamer on Twitch. Viewers say that Blevins’ numbers dip even more whenever he tries to play something that isn’t Fortnite. You could say Blevins owes his entire career to Halo. Halo Infinite is going to be a launch game for the next Xbox, currently known by its codename, Project Scarlett. Anecdotally, I saw a good number of people on social media either starting up Mixer accounts, or starting to check out th

If you played Destiny, you may be familiar with Xur, the weekly Exotic item merchant. He also offers specific rolls on each armor piece each week, giving out different perks for the same pieces. The exotic perk, Hydraulic Boosters, increases slide and sprint speed, as well as increases jump height. Its Exotic perk is Vengeance. Killing marked targets gives you an Overshield and increases damage for a short time.

Phoenix Labs’ solution is the Hunt Pass, which rewards players with cosmetic items to spice up their Slayer. The best way to level up your Hunt Pass is to complete the weekly Hunt Pass challenges. Each challenge offers 150 Gleaming Pearls as a reward. With each Hunt Pass level only needing about 100 Gleaming Pearls, that’s six free Hunt Pass levels for completing a handful of missions. If you collect all 10, you’ll get bonus Gleaming Pearls.

Spinning Pokéstops will give players a Field Research Task to complete. Upon completing a task, players will get a stamp marked with the date. Here’s a complete list of the current Field Research Tasks and the rewards, as of Aug. 2, 2019.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses hosts a variety of characters, and some of them aren’t quite as hip or welcoming as the kids populating the school. Instead, the Wyvern Rider is cautious and skeptical of the player’s abilities … but this doesn’t stop Seteth from sending you on quests. In these jokes, fans Photoshop the quest dialogue screen to make Seteth sound like a baby boomer who has no idea what any of the kids are talking about. meme from last year, Seteth would probably be the “We have food at

Obsidian Entertainment has given us an extended look at The Outer Worlds before its October release. In one fun sequence, we score a date between a lovely NPC and the weirdo monster-part vendor that she’s got a crush on — or, in the vernacular of The Outer Worlds, a squish. The Outer Worlds is the work of the minds behind the original Fallout, and Fallout: New Vegas. In keeping with tradition, The Outer Worlds will let players kill any NPC, and the developers have confirmed that hell yes, that m

After nearly 10 years on the air, beloved children’s cartoon series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is finally ending. The final trailer for the series sees Twilight Sparkle and her friends rallying in defense of Equestria for the last time. The trailer tracks Twilight’s growth over the past eight seasons from her arrival in Ponyville to her coronation as the Princess of Friendship. Since its premiere in 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has been a cult favorite and an endless source

The Halo television series coming to Showtime has found its Cortana. Natascha McElhone will take on the role of the advanced artificial intelligence, who often serves as an advisor to series protagonist Master Chief. McElhone is perhaps best known for her role as Karen on another Showtime series, Californication. The Halo TV series will also introduce three original Spartans, played by actors Bentley Kalu (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Natasha Culzac (The Witcher), and Kate Kennedy (Catastrophe). In

No Man’s Sky’s massive, game-changing Beyond update finally has a release date: Aug. 14. The date’s announcement was made in a blog post on developer Hello Games’ website, along with a very short teaser trailer. The first update will be No Man’s Sky’s new and expanded online multiplayer and social features. For now, these are the only parts of the Beyond update that Hello Games has revealed. Beyond will be a free update for all No Man’s Sky players.

Part of the problem with World of Warcraft is the game has a lot of ground to cover — an entire world, in fact. Now, Blizzard’s digital card game Hearthstone is bringing a long-running, over-the-top story campaign to the Cataclysm zone of Uldum. Uldum is one of most fascinating zones in World of Warcraft, and in the MMO, we only scratched the surface. Hearthstone house rulesHearthstone isn’t quite proper canon, even though the game and World of Warcraft have a lot of overlap. In World of Warcraf

On Friday, Humble announced the September additions to its Monthly Bundle: Slay the Spire and Squad. Kickstarter-backed tactical shooter Squad is still in early access on Steam, where it has averaged “very positive” reviews. The Humble Monthly Bundle costs $12 per month and usually includes eight to 10 games. Along with the bundled games, a Humble Monthly subscription includes 20% off orders at the Humble Store and access to a library of DRM-free games. In addition, 5% of each Humble purchase is

But players on the Fire Emblem subreddit figured out that all you actually need is a support level of “B” with any student. The more support points they earn, the closer they come to gaining a new support level. Growing the player support level with non-house students is easy as long as they’re willing to spend some cash. If the player spams a student they want to recruit with gifts, that student’s support level will grow very quickly. After hitting support level B and having a heart-to-heart ab

A new event has come to Pokémon Go, this time celebrating friends. Each egg that you get from a gift will have a two kilometer egg instead of a seven kilometer egg, but the pool of Pokémon in the egg will be what you could normally find in a seven kilometer egg. This means that any eggs you get from gifts will hatch much faster. That being said, Shiny Bonsly and Sudowoodo will release during this event, so you can try your luck at hatching a Shiny Bonsly from the eggs you get from gifts. Players

Ninja’s first Mixer broadcast went live from a station at the Lollapalooza music festival, complete with his sponsored Red Bull refrigerator in the background. Just as he went live, Ninja’s stream climbed up to around 76k viewers. For his first drop in Fortnite on his new platform, Ninja landed at Mega Mall, but died just a couple of fights in. At the start of Ninja’s stream, Fortnite had around 130K—150K viewers on Twitch, with most of the game’s biggest streamers enjoying the same numbers they

The Outer Worlds is being made by the same minds behind the original Fallout games and Fallout: New Vegas. Those games, unlike the Fallout titles made by Bethesda Game Studios, allow players to kill every single living being. It’s a major development challenge for a game that is fully voiced and offers handfuls of ways to solve every quest. “It is insanely hard,” says Heins when I ask him about the development side of being able to murder everyone. “But as soon as we start pre-production, we sta
