Out of nowhere, CD Projekt Red started broadcasting a strange cryptic video on YouTube and Twitch.

After many hours, the live broadcast switched up and a full gameplay video for Cyberpunk 2077 was showcased.

Whilst not many actual gameplay elements were shown, we got introduced to the world of Cyberpunk 2077, we were shown some gameplay and RPG elements.

More importantly, all 48 minutes of the gameplay video was shot in the game. No additional rendering or cutscenes were added.

In the beginning, the gameplay video showcased the player creation screen. Players will have many options at their disposal to adjust their character. They can change their appearance, their starting traits, and their gender.

The gameplay video also showcased how story-rich Cyberpunk 2077

Epic Games has just announced a brand new event called High Stakes. The new mode will drop on the first week of September.

So far, we don't know exactly what the new High Stakes event will be. We do know, however, that the event is themed after a high stakes bank robbery.

Epic Games did mention on Twitter that the new event will come with a number of new features for players to get their hands on.

First up is the new Limited Time Event called Getaway.

Nobody knows exactly what this mode will entail, but it fits in with the theme of the event.  

New challenges exclusive to the High Stakes event will also be added to Fortnite, as well as a brand new Wild Card outfit. The outfit you see on the promo image above is the new outfit.

We’ve already had the pleasure to test Black Ops 4’s standard multiplayer ahead of schedule, but now we will also get the chance to try out the new Blackout game mode before the full launch.

Activision has now revealed that Blackout will be getting a beta in September. We have the full scoop on the beta date and supported platforms in this article.

For those unaware, Blackout is COD’s new battle royale mode. It’s not the only AAA game getting one this year. Both Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V will be receiving one.

However, with Blackout’s beta going live in September, Blacks Ops 4 will be the first battle royale mode we get to see in a triple A shooter.

Firstly, if you're a PS4 player, you'll get to experience Blackout early.

PS4 owners that pre-order Blackout

Destiny 2: Forsaken is set to be the biggest expansion yet. It will drop on September 4 for Xbox One, PC, and PS4 players.
Here is a look at everything that is included in this expansion:

Cayde’s Death

One of Destiny’s most beloved characters dies in the Forsaken expansion and a new story campaign focuses around his death and the events that proceed it.

New weapons and Gear

Brand new gear and weapons will be added to the new Forsaken expansion. Players will be swamped with new exotics, legendaries, and exciting changes to the Masterwork system.

Players will also be able to finally add any weapon to each weapon slot. If you want to equip two rocket launchers at once, now you can. Two swords? Sure. Or maybe something more practical like a scout rifle and a pulse rifle.

The recent Black Ops 4 beta was mostly met with optimism and positivity, but there were some areas that definitely needed some extra attention.

Recently, Treyarch took to Reddit to share their thoughts on the feedback they received during the beta. Treyarch also left some comments on the changes they will be bringing to Black Ops 4 before it launches on October 12.

Firstly, the fog of war minimap feature is getting reworked massively. Many players felt that the minimap was a little too overpowered in the beta, and Treyarch agreed. They will tone it down a little bit in full release.

Tac-Deploy was a topic for hot debate in the beta. With this tool, a team member can essentially change the spawn position of the team, but it proved to be a little too powerful.

As a result, Treyarch will be shortening the time the Tac-Deploy is active. On top of this, only 10 spawns per Tac-Deploy are possible before it shuts down.

Perhaps the biggest change was the adjustments

If you’ve been keeping up with the news recently, you may have heard about the new Fortnite Galaxy skin. It’s a unique skin for Fortnite that is supposed to be exclusive to those that purchase a Galaxy Note 9 or a Galaxy Tab S4 before 12/31/18.

Whilst it makes sense that this item will be exclusive, to begin with, there are rumors that suggest the Fortnite Galaxy skin may be available to everybody after the date listed above.

In a Forbes article, a chat with a Samsung customer representative suggested that the skin will be made available to everybody after the 31st of December.

Now, we can’t guarantee that what the chat representative was correct. They could have made a mistake. But if you think about it logically, it’d make sense for Epic Games to put the skin on sale to everybody eventually.

The new Galaxy skin has already gathered a lot of attention and there’s no denying that a lot of people would throw over their hard-earned V-Bucks to get

Wonder where the free PlayStation Plus games for August have been? Well, here they are.

In this article, we will showcase the official list provided straight from Sony. All of these games are available to download for free right now.

PS4

This month, the PlayStation 4 will have two games up for free - Mafia III and Dead by Daylight.

One of the most popular open world action-adventure games, Mafia III puts you in the shoes of a Vietnam War veteran as he seeks revenge on a group of mobsters that murdered his family.

Dead by Daylight is a unique multiplayer horror game where one player plays as a serial killer and four others play as the victims.

The serial killer must hunt the victims down, whilst the remaining players must work to fix up generators and escape their location.

PS3

PS3 will have Bound by Flame and Serious Sam 3 BFE available for all PSN members this month.

Bound by Flame is a fantasy-themed

The Black Ops 4 beta is live. During the beta, a lot of changes have been noticed by the community. One such change is the introduction of a new weapon ballistics feature.

Weapons in Black Ops 4 will behave differently depending on their weapon class. With this, bullet drop and things like spread will be added to balance out the different weapon classes.

So far, we haven’t noticed all of the weapon ballistic changes that have been added, but one clear change is found on SMGs.

In past COD games, SMGs were often all-in-one killing machines. They were fast firing and could be used at relatively any distance. In Black Ops 4, this is no longer the case. SMGs start to falter at longer ranges due to changes to their weapon ballistics.

This will make players think harder about which weapons to use to suit their playstyle. The weapon ballistic changes will also be important for creating a more competitive environment. Hopefully, players will be forced to rely on each

Thinking about going pro in Fortnite on the PS4 or Xbox One? The good news is that it is still possible, despite what other people may say.

Many individuals think that professional gaming, especially for shooter games like Fortnite, requires a mouse and keyboard for you to be able to compete at a high level.

Whilst it is true that a mouse will give you more precision and accuracy than a controller, there’s nothing stopping you from playing Fortnite competitively with a controller if that is what you are comfortable with.

To go pro in Fortnite, the easiest route is to build a strong following on YouTube or Twitch first. Live streamers are the first to get invited to Fortnite events these days. Once you’re invited, you’ll get recognition and the chance to fight for prize money just for working on your personality and stream quality.

Obviously, it’s not going to be an easy journey. Building up a stream big enough to gain the attention of Epic Games or other tournament

This year there has been a huge Pro Xbox One controller shortage due to a mixture of
manufacturing limitations and a larger interest from the general public.
As a result, many of the biggest aftermarket controller manufacturers are facing global shortage
issues.

To make things worse, most companies are unable to provide a date for when they will be able
to deal with back orders for those interested in out of stock Xbox One pro controllers.

What Is Causing The Pro Xbox Controller Shortage?

One of the major reasons why pro Xbox controllers are out of stock right now is because
Microsoft is moving away from the non-Bluetooth variant of their Xbox One controller.
Many custom Xbox controller manufacturers are still using the version without Bluetooth, which
means they need to deal with some adjustments before they can start shipping out the new
models.

This is the main reason why there is such a large
