Since Splitgate’s release on on PlayStation and Xbox consoles on July 27, 1047 Games’ team-based shooter Splitgate has skyrocketed in popularity. The free-to-play PvP experience bits two teams against one another in a variety of different game modes with its unique combination of fast-paced arena-style action and player mobility. Rolling the game out onto these new platforms hasn’t been perfect with plenty of server issues causing problems for players. Those who have been able to try the game out for themselves may be wondering how free you are to play with your friends on other consoles.

Based on what you see on TV shows and movies, surviving in a zombie apocalypse may look like a regular Monday. State of Survival does an excellent job of portraying an apocalypse where players need to make use of every resource that they can get their hands on, making it a great choice to test your surviving skills on the go. While you can pay to speed up your process and unlock more content, you can also survive as a free-to-play player.

Most tactical shooters come with a menu that gives you all the tools you need to change your settings. But Counter-Strike isn’t like most tactical shooters. CS:GO does have a settings menu of sorts, but it’s nothing special. You can change your HUD, fiddle around with your crosshair settings, and adjust your mouse sensitivity. That’s about it, though. It’s nothing when you compare it to the console. The console can be used to personalize your setup and optimize your game.

Vex, the first new yordle to grace Summoner’s Rift since Kled in 2016, is a fed-up, moody, and apathetic mid lane mage. The stubby little champion was revealed during the Sentinels of Light event in July and will finally make her debut in League of Legends this week. Vex has four abilities, including Doom ‘n Gloom (passive), Mistral Bolt (Q), Personal Space (W), Looming Darkness (E), and Shadow Surge (R). 

Epic Games has many cool skins of its own, but the collaboration deals are what brings some of the most memorable skins to Fortnite. These deals allow Epic to introduce skins based on characters from other franchises. Fortnite fans have seen the likes of many characters from Marvel and DC Universes in the past, and it’s now time for Naruto to make its debut. Not only will fans be able to unlock skins from the Naruto franchise, but there’s also an event to celebrate the occasion.

Farah and Nikolai weren’t the only new additions to season six of Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare. There were also two new tools of the trade to help dominate games in BR or multiplayer, and years later, one of them is still firmly in the meta. One of the weapons that was added all the way back in Modern Warfare’s season six is a marksman rifle—and it’s arguably one of the best in the game.

Elden Ring is filled to the brim with unique characters and questlines for players to discover. While not new to FromSoftware titles, these storylines often reward players with valuable items or even unlock certain areas. But with a world as large as the Lands Between of Elden Ring, many players are struggling to keep up with all the assorted quests and characters. When FromSoftware released patch 1.03, it significantly lifted the burden on players to remember where certain NPCs were located.

Elden Ring has a lot of quirky NPCs that players can take their time with, getting to know and socialize with them. One of the more regal NPCs in the game is Kenneth Haight, a nobleman who players meet in East Limgrave. On first impression, Kenneth Haight seems like your typical rich, snobby noble who wants to pay off a random Tarnished to do his dirty work. But the quest is a little bit more involved than that.

Mechanical keyboards are the go-to choice of all competitive gamers. Their low response time and special switches make them a powerful weapon to have in multiplayer games. But any computer user who just enjoys typing can also be in the market for these keyboards. The nice “click” sound the keyboards make has spawned devotees all over. The size of the keyboards has been the main issue of low-DPI mouse users alongside people who just don’t have enough desk space.

Gathering is an integral part of Amazon’s upcoming MMO, New World—and finding resources from bushes and brush is one way to do that. While Briar Branches aren’t something that you’ll normally be able to obtain, the quest “A Prickly Request” sets you off to find some. As you might expect, Briar Branches can be obtained by picking Briar. But where exactly to find Briar might not be intuitive. Briar is most easily found around rivers, streams, and lakes.
