To help support Fortnite content creators of all sizes, Epic Games has launched a new program called Support-A-Creator.
From now until December 31, you can choose to input the name of any supported creator when you spend V-Bucks in-game.
Doing so will help the creator to get paid a small sum of money based on how much V-Bucks you spend. Creators will be rewarded money regardless of whether you paid for the V-Bucks or if you earned it through the Battle Pass.
Everybody from Ninja to small streamers on YouTube and Twitch are eligible to sign up to the Support-A-Creator program.
As of writing, there are already 4,000 creators on the program and Epic Games are being rather lenient with new sign ups. If you are a Fortnite content creator with a small audience and you are struggling to bring in revenue, you may want to visit the Fortnite creators page to sign up.
You can then ask your audience to input your name when they spend V-Bucks and you will be rewarded.

COD Blackout has been up and available on beta for PS4 pre-orderers this week and we’ve had the chance to get our hands on it.
We have to say that we’re very impressed with what we’ve seen so far. There was a lot of criticism directed toward Activision when the Blackout mode was announced, but we think that’ll all be dropped once everybody gets their hands on the game.
In Blackout, 88 players join the same open world map. Just like other battle royale games, the idea is that only one player or team can survive.
You’ll choose where you land and from there you must pick up loot scattered around the world. You’ll find everything from SMGs to RPGs on the ground, as well as a range of utility items.
Blackout also has a selection of vehicles in the world, including helicopters, large trucks, and ATVs. This is very exciting to see - vehicles are something we haven’t seen in Call of Duty for a very, very long time.
The vehicles work smoothly, but they fit into

If you play Fortnite on the PS4, you might want to make sure your PS Plus membership is up to date. Sony and Epic Games have teamed up again to offer more free Fortnite loot for PS Plus members.
The new loot includes a brand new glider, a new pickaxe, and a new trail. Admittedly, the glider is quite simple, but it's a nice thank you to the PlayStation players, regardless.
The glider you get from the new PS Plus subscription freebie can be seen in the image above.
The other two items are far more exciting. The first of which is a new contrail that adds four lights that mimic the four PlayStation colors out of your hands and feet.
The pickaxe is a very interesting item, too. It's made out of rubberized plastic and shares the same colors as the PS4 controller. On the top of the pickaxe there are two joysticks that mimic the DualShock 4 joysticks and there is even a small USB charging port added.
The new pickaxe is certainly quite unique and there’s nothing

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

With the Xbox One X set to storm the world next month, Microsoft is gearing up their game library by releasing visual updates. Surprisingly, even some older Xbox 360 games available on the Xbox One X via backward compatibility are set to get the visual upgrade treatment.
According to Xbox, a number of Xbox 360 backward compatible games will be getting an upgrade to support a higher resolution, 9X the original pixel count, and expanded color details.
This upgrade allows to improve game visual quality without touching the game code in any way. It's called the Heutchy Method and "leverages the power of Xbox One X to let the Xbox 360 emulator present the very best version of the game possible with the existing assets--all without touching the game code."
The number of games to get upgraded visual support is quite limited so far. The Xbox 360 games available for an Xbox One X visual upgrade are Assassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Halo 3.

Extra upgrades allow you to add a bay for explosives and takeoff via thruster jets. You can pick up the new Mammoth Mogul from the Warstock Cache & Carry website.
A number of new discounts have been applied to this week's GTA Online update. A 25% discount has been applied to the following items:

Rockstar Energy Drink and Bungie have teamed up together to offer Destiny 2 players exclusive loot for purchasing and drinking Rockstar Energy drinks.
The limited edition run of Rockstar Energy Drink cans will offer unique Destiny 2 themed designs across a total of three different flavors. Each can will have a unique code printed on it that can be used to access special loot in Destiny 2.
Currently, the three flavors that feature the Destiny 2 branding are the original flavor, Blueberry Pomegranate Acai, and Tropical Guava. Each of the three flavors represents three Destiny 2 characters from the game's story.
Unique items are available for all three classes; Titan, Warlock or Hunter. In total, there are 24 unique rewards for players to unlock via the Rockstar Energy drink campaign, and a total of three can be unlocked per week, per account.

The first raid for Destiny 2 has finally gone live and we've got some unique details to share about it.
Bungie's game director, Luke Smith, has revealed that the first raid will require a power level between 260 and 280. For those that haven't had a chance to play much Destiny 2 yet, you've got some catching up to do before the raid will be accessible to you.
Raids have always been the most challenging aspect of the Destiny game world, so it makes sense that a minimum power level cap has been set to make sure inexperienced players don't accidentally walk into a world filled with pain.
The first raid for Destiny 2 is called Leviathan. So far, we're not sure how the raid will work, or what enemies it will consist of. We do know, however, that players that do not yet have a team of friends to join them can now use matchmaking to find existing teams to play alongside.
Leviathan originally launched on September 13 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. We're expecting to see more

A brand new patch for LawBreakers has recently gone live on both the PS4 and the PC version of the game. For the most part, the patch has gone ahead smoothly, although there has been a temporary issue with weapon stickers that the developers are currently working to get solved.
In the new patch, a nighttime version of the Promenade map has been added. Role limits have now been set to 2, and Kick decals can now be sprayed by players across the game environment.
A number of balancing changes have been made to different game modes, too. For example, the Blitzball mode has been made more challenging. The Blitzball shield radius has been increased from 850 to 1000.
The Overcharge mode has had similar changes - the radius for reducing the Battery's shield has increased from 750 to 850, and the contest radius for the Battery has increased to 1000. The contest area has also changed to a sphere as opposed to a cylinder, which should make it easier for players to hold the spot

The latest Smuggler's Run update for GTA Online has now been out for just over a week. While the bulk of it, including a new adversary mode, and a number of new jets and planes have already been released, Rockstar has slowly trickled out more content over the past 10 days.
This week, the new Motor Wars adversary mode will now offer players double RP and double cash. The game mode is a play on the popular battle royale mode seen in games like Playerunknown's Battlegrounds.
In Motor Wars, players will drop from the sky and must find a weaponized vehicle spawn as quickly as possible. It's essentially battle royale but with vehicles.
A new T-shirt, the white Shrewsbury logo tee has also been given to players for free, and players can currently get 25% off all vehicle armor. This includes armor for the new air vehicles.
Both the Pegassi Reaper and the Progen Itali GTB are also 25% off for a limited time.
A new plane has also been added as part of an expansion
