With both PC and Xbox having supported the feature for years, Sony is finally bringing variable refresh rates (VRR) to its PlayStation 5. In a new blog post on Monday, the gaming giant detailed its upcoming implementation of VRR, which is a crucial feature if you’re looking to combat screen tearing and other graphical issues that arise from your console and display being out of sync. To be able to make use of the feature, you’ll also need a monitor or TV that actually supports HDMI 2.1, but once you’ve got that covered, Sony says the following games will be receiving VRR “in the coming weeks:” Astro’s Playroom Call of Duty: Vanguard Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Deathloop Destiny 2 Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition DIRT 5 Godfall Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles M...

Apex Legends: Saviors, the 13th season from the franchise, is now just over the horizon. In an exciting four-minute cinematic, developers Respawn Entertainment and EA tease the upcoming arrival of a new legend, map changes, and in-game beasts. The launch trailer begins with Bangalore brooding over leaving the Apex Legends competitions, believing that her brother Jackson is gone. When a big sea monster attacks Storm Point, as part of a larger shift that will usher in a variety of map changes, Bangalore leaps into battle with a new support legend named Newcastle. Action scenes confirm that the previous Apex Legends leaks are in fact, accurate, showcasing the robocop-looking legend’s different abilities including a respawn shield, the ability to drag downed teammates, a movable drone that hol...

Blizzard has now announced the long-awaited release date for Diablo: Immortal as well as its simultaneous release on PC. Now slated to arrive on PC, iOS and Android in June, Blizzard says it has listened to fan feedback and finally decided to port the game over for those who wish to play it on their computers instead. The free-to-play title will once again bring players back to Sanctuary, with six classes to choose from: Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer and Wizard. The game’s PvE side will allow parties of up to eight players while a faction-based PvP system called the Cycle of Strife will see players fight for the Eternal Crown. With PC now on the table, the developer has also included cross-platform play and cross-progression, giving you the flexibility to move b...

Activision has now officially confirmed that a sequel to its massively popular free-to-play battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone is on its way. During an earnings presentation for Q1 of 2022, the company revealed that it’ll be officially announcing Warzone 2 later this year. “The new free-to-play Warzone experience, which is built from the ground-up alongside the premium game, features groundbreaking innovations to be revealed later this year,” Activision said. Oher details revolving around the sequel remain scarce at this time, and it’s unclear exactly when the new title will be released, but a concrete confirmation from the developer and acknowledgment of Warzone‘s success is still promising to players. The confirmation of Warzone 2 also comes just shortly after leaks surfa...

After reviving the Modern Warfare franchise back in 2019, Call of Duty fans have since been anticipating a sequel, and now a potential reveal date has finally leaked for Activision‘s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. According to Call of Duty insider @TheGhostofHope over on Twitter, the studio will be revealing the new game on May 30, although his tweet simply included the date and a GIF of Captain Price in the dark woods with his night-vision goggles on without elaborating further on where he came across that date, what exactly the game will look like and when it’ll ultimately be released. Despite the lack of more context, the new leak corroborates prior suggestions from fellow insider Tom Henderson, who claimed at the end of April that the reveal would come at the end o...

New Skate 4 leaks now suggest that players will be able to build custom skateparks together in the game. According to VentureBeat‘s Jeff Grubb — who recently leaked what appeared to be pre-alpha gameplay footage of the upcoming title — Skate 4 will be placing greater emphasis on player-generated content, no doubt learning from the success of both GTA Online‘s custom races and Halo‘s fan-favorite Forge mode. To drive this initiative, the highly-anticipated sequel will be offering fans a new game mode called “Free Skate,” which allows players to join the same server and build custom skateparks out of thin air. You’ll be free to add or take away elements like ramps in real-time and create the perfect skate arena for you and your friends. Free Skate aside, Skate 4...

Back in early March, 343 Industries disappointed many fans by announcing that campaign co-op won’t be arriving initially with season two of Halo Infinite, and no other launch dates for the feature were provided at the time. Luckily, the studio has now revealed a release window for the coveted mode. As part of the content roadmap for the game for the rest of 2022, 343 Industries revealed earlier last week that campaign co-op will be making its debut during season two of the game. The targeted release date is now scheduled for late August, which will coincide with a new feature that allows you to replay specific levels in the campaign as well, although co-op mode will only be available for network-connected games first. Those who wish to play together on split-screen will have to wait for Se...

Eight years after the original episodic game was released, Tales from the Borderlands is finally getting a second installment from Gearbox. Announced over at PAX East, details surrounding the upcoming sequel remain scarce at the moment but Gearbox promises a “new adventure” as well as “new characters,” and “new tales.” The game will most likely take the same episodic approach as the original Telltale Games project, a genre that has proven popular among fans since The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead series. Unlike before, however, Gearbox will be developing the game in-house this time. As for those unfamiliar with the original game, Tales from the Borderlands was originally released across 2014 and 2015, featuring an episodic adventure that revolved around Hyperion em...

After more than five years since Splatoon 2 came out on the Nintendo Switch, we’re finally getting a release date for Splatoon 3. The long-awaited sequel for the third-person shooter is now scheduled to arrive this September, escaping the delays that have hit another highly-anticipated sequel for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

You can expect new weapons, special abilities and characters for the upcoming release as well as a single-player campaign and a co-op mode called Salmon Run, where you’ll fight off oncoming waves of Salmonoids to earn Power Eggs and Golden Eggs. As seen in the clip abov...
